Notice to Mensenrs of Conorness.—Members ef Congress can have their speeches printed with neatness and dispatch, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-page speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. SPIKIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union explains its reasons for the pub- lication of its severe criticism of Saturday morning last on the opposition manifested by quite a number of the Democrats of the House to the defieiency bill. Of Col. Benton's will the Intelligencer says, this morning : “Tt_may interest many of our readers to learn something of the testamentary arrangements of the distinguished citizen whose final departure from this city, the scene of his long and arduous political career, to his last resting place is noted above. Col. Benton names as his executors, and also as trustees of bis daayhters, his sons-in-law, ‘Wm. Carey Jones, John Charles Fremont, and Richard Taylor Jacob, and his friends Montgom- ery Blairand Philips Lee. The entire remaining library is bequeathed to Mr. Jones, who tbus be- comes the literary legatee ; in which there seems an appropriateness, on account of his long asso- elation with Col. Benton in his literary labors, and his own ability as a writer and acquaintance with public efairs. ‘fhe will was made list September, while Mr. Jones was in Central Amerien. The fourth son-in-law—than whom neither of them is more respected—M. Boileau, is not named as one of the executors, on account robly of bis remote permanent residence, he | eran Consul General of France at Calcutta.”’ ae WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tre Orena.—At 4 p. m. yesterday, a large proportion of the seats were taken tu hear the opera to-night. That fact is an earnest that the house is destined to be crowded and fash- ionable, the names of those taking the seats being persons well known both in fashionable and musical circleshere. The company, by the by, who are now to render opera before us, was never excelled in this country. Such is the judgment of the criticsof the North. To-night they will undergo a severer ordeal than ever before in the United States; insomuch as, though their audience cannot equal in num- bers the audiences listening to them in Phila- delphia or New York (for our theatre, as is the ease with our population, is much smaller than in either of the cities named above,) they will be heard here by more persona of critical mu- sical taste and accomplishment tban ever as- sembled outside of Washington (in the United States) to listen to the rendition of an opera. In truth, our opera-goers are almost all of them accomplished in music; a circumstance unusual in this country, and calculated to ren- der the rendition of opera succossfully here a far more difficult task, than elsewhere in tho United States. In this case, however, thero ean be no doubt that the evening’s entertain- ment will go off with entire satisfaction to all who may attend; for, as we remark above, the company, take them all in all, are certainly superior to any other so far assembled in the United States. They are to render to-night “La Traviata,’ a beantiful opera, never be- fore performed here. Apropos—Below we publish a card from Manager Stuart explaining why the adoption of his scale of prices is necessary. There can be no doubt whetever of the correctness of all he says. We cannot expect to enjoy the opera in Washington witbout paying enough to ob- tain it among us. That our population could not do for an extended season; though we know well they will do it with pleasure for the brief time Maretzek’s famous troupe are to per- form here : Wattacn’s Tuzatre, N. Y., April 12 Editor of the Star: My Dear Sir—Will you kindly permit me to 5 a few words through your colnmus on the Prices charged for the approaching four nights of_cpera at Washingt The difference between the price charged there and here at the Academy of Music, is but fifty cents; when the size of the Washingtou Theatre ard the additional expense of travel are consid- ered. 1 think this difference can hardly be deemed unreasonable. ‘Ihe price of the prosce- nium boxes here and at Washington is the same. Then what would be the price charged at any European capital on any ordinary night—say, for instance, in Londou? For parquette, without secured seat, two dollars and seventy-five cenis, for orchestra chairs seven dollars and a half, for first-tier boxes one hundred dollars, and on great occasions these prices have been doubled. The cost of the four nights of opera at Washington Will be, at the lowest, one thousand dollars a might. Supposing the house full every night, the receipts cap ba cover this amount. | trust, therefore, the ies and gentlemen who have been good enough to patronize the Wash- ington Theatre will see that it would b= imposs!- Die to aiford them opera at a lower scale of P ices For mysetf, I anticipate no profit. My sole object in the engagement is to fulfil faithfullyihe promise made at Sods mary of the season in my name. Your obedient servant, W. Srearr. Tae History or tax Past.—The pertinent paragraph quoted below is from the New York News. In very few words it tells the tale of the result of all previous efforts to deliver tho Democratic party, bound hand and foot, into the power of its enemies, and is pregnant with a lesson which, if properly appreciated, will be of infinite service to the future of gentlemen in public life, who not being disposed to take cer- vise formally in the Republican party ranke, have of late acted with that party upon the Kansas State bill, the only really living issue between the Demoéracy and their enemies : “When the Wilmot Proviso movement was siarted, the party everywhere North, through the treachery and desertion of professed Demo- crats, was fora while shorn of its strength and overtbrowu—so also when the Kansas- Nebraska bill came up the same disaffection took place, and defeat overtook aseverywhere, but how lon did it last in either case, and who of the desert. ers were benefited? Some honorably returned, and bave ever since labored zealously for the Democratic party ; but most of them are at this day the closest adherents of the Black Repubii- can interests, while the Democracy soon recov- ered Its lost ground, and was stronger than ever. Treason may for a while effect its object, traitors may be rewarded—but the success of such is bat a sickly triumph. The Old Line Democ ary soon recover their ernes and sweep their opponents from the field.” Tae Manreanp AcrictLturAt Cottece.— The Legislature of Maryland in 1556 chartered an institution for the purpose of educating the Youth of the State in the science of agriculture, e@ombined wich those branches taught in the first colleges of the country. A donation of six thousand dollars per annum was granted, upon eonditicn of the subscription of fifty thousand dolla:s ¢f stock, in shares of twenty-five dollars. The requisite amount of stuck has been ob- tained by the general agent, Robert Bowie, Esq., and the College has been organized under the charter—one trustee from each of the coun- ties of Moryland, and one from the city of Bal- timore constituting the board of control. The trustees have purchased from Chas. B. Calvert, Eeq., of Prince George county, his Rossburg estate, about nine miles from the city of Wash- ington, and within a short distance of the rail- roed. The location is eligible, as well on ac- eount of its healthfulness as its numerous other advantages. Arrangements have already been made by the board cf trustees for the erection of suitable buildings. An amenditory act was passed at the last session of the Maryland Legislature, extending the benefits of the institution to the District cf Columbia, and placing the citizens thereof upon an equal footing with the counties of Maryland and the city of Baltimore, and providing for a representation in the board of trustees. Mr. Bowie is still canvassing in several ecuaties of Maryland for additional eubscrip- tions of steck ; and an agent will be Appointed to solicit subscriptions in the District of Co- Jumbia. Several liberal subscriptions have alseady been made in Washipgton city, and we have no doubt that a liberal amount of the stock will be subscribed by our citizens. The great advantage of an education which will fit the youth of our¢ountry for the noble pursuit of agriculture cannot be too highly appreciated. The present age has clearly de- monstrated tbat science, when applied to agri- culture, has exerted a beneficial influence in adapting the implements of husbandry te the most convenient ard practical forma, and in the improvement of the soil by proper cultiva- tion and application of suitable manures. The object of the Maryland Agricultural College is to impart a scientific knowledge of these sub- jects to the youth who intend to become farmers, and at the same tme to combine all other necessary branches of learning. The object is truly laudable. Experience proves its practi- eability, and we wish it euccess. Not to pe Taken In.—The South, it is very clear, are not slow to comprehend the true phil- osopby of anti-Lecomptonism on the part of nominal Democratic- party journals. More or less of them, headed by the Philadelphia Press, by the by, have been professing, at times, in- tense devotion to Southern rights and interests, as the reason why they oppose the admission of Kansas into the Union on the Lecompton Con- stitution. The Petersburg South-Side Demo erat, in a late issue, makes short work of their professions of identity with the South, as fol- lows : **Itis difficult to decide whether we otyht to be indignant or amused at the extravayant de- monstrations of joy which the anti-Lecompton Democratic journals are making over the election retarns from some five or six Northern States ‘The intelligence of Black Republican gains de- lights them beyond measure, and throws them into alarming contortions of hilarious excitement. Like Dean Swift’s posthumous friends, these exemplary paragons of political consistency would rather the Democratic party ‘should die,’ ‘* Than their predictions prove a lic.” “The Washington States is especially eestatic over the result. which, we imagine, it thinks was in a measure brought about by its own efforts in the Black Republican canse. [tsays ‘The North- ern Democrats who voted for Lecompton will have a begyarly account of smpty ballot-boxes, when they present themselves before their late constituents for re-election. The result in the South will be the same ina lesser, though it ought to be in an equal, degree” Weshouldlike to know upon what theory of probab lities our Cassandra builds that last vaticination ‘In opposition, we venture the prediction that every Southern man in Congress (always except- ing the Maryland delegation) who voted against Lecompton Will never avain have the pleasnr+ of listening to his own eloquence in the Federal Capitol. Stick to your last. Mr. States, and con- fine your prophesying to latitudes with which you are personally acquainted. For ourselves, we are neither surprised nor conceined about the results of these e ions in Connecticut, Ohte, lowa and the abolition city of St. Louis. We have never been so fond as to expect any good from either of those quarters.” Aw Honest Rercaricas Party Writer.— We have repeatedly felt called on to bear tes- timony to the integrity of the representatious of the Washington correspondent of the Phil.- delphia North American, concerning affairs transpiring here, even when compelled to ex- plode his conclusions. He is a bold man to scout, as he usually does, the now apparent Republican party rule of maligning every political opponent of whom he takes occasion to write. On the contrary, no other writer of the day protests more earnestly than he against unjust imputations cast by his political friends on gentlemen opposed to them, in order to make anti-Democratic political capital. Ina late letter he writes to the North American in condemnation of the aspersions some of his co- laborers have essayed to cast on the War De- partment and its accomplished, able and efficient chief, saying in the course of his remarks in that connection : he newspapers have recently teemed with Tumors and speculations and suggestions, di- rected against the War Department, in connec- tion witb the contracts for the Utah expedition, which are calculated to do gross injustice, anles« properly corrected. * * # *% & ‘| have takeu some pains to inquire into these sweeping charges, and find them to be without reason or truth. 7 *_ * &© * ** Aud so far as Gov. Floyd is concerned, who conducts the War Department so ably and ac- ceptably, no man in or out of office stands higher, here or elsewhere, for all those commanding qusittices which are so well calculated to iinpress the public service with dignity, and his individ- ual character with uprightness, justice and may- nanimity.”? Tne New Svoor-or-War Brooxtys, now in course of construction by Jacob A. Westervelt, at New York city, under a contract arrange- ment, is progreasing finely and rapidly towards completion. From a letter from S. M. Pook, Naval Constructor, who is superintending the building of this vessel, we learn that about two- thirds of the outside is planked—that is, twenty strakes on the bottom and eleven strakes on the sides, or wales. On the inside the ceiling below the berth deck is clamped, and two strakes of the gun deck have been put in and clamped. The keclsons are all put in and bolted, and the knees, bites and beams hayoall been got out and prepared fur putting into their places. The materials and workmanship are said to be of the best description, coming fully up to the terms of the contract. Mr. P.’s letter is dated on the Ist inst Sam Hovston.—As the newspapers continue to “kite’” the canard attributing to this dis- tinguished gentleman the purpose of emigrat- ing to Arizona, we may not inappropriately say that there is no truthin it. Not long since the health of his wife was euch as to induce him to believe that it would be better for her to reside on the Pacifie elope of the Rocky Mountains, instead of on the Atlantic slope, as at present; and he, consequently expressed the desire to remove to some pvint in that quarter of the Union. Out ef this the rumor has grown. Sub- sequently, Mrs. Houston has so far recovered her health as to render any change of her resi- dence unnecessary. So the (ieneral entertains no idea of leaving his Texan home. A Locan PoxiticaL Movement.—We hear of the organization of a volunteer committee of three property-holders of each ward of Wash- ington city, who have had one or more meetings attended by themselves and others especially invited. This committee is composed for the most part of prominent Anti-Know Nothing citizens, and if we are correctly informed, its design is to originate an independent Mayoralty movement in case the nomination shortly to be made by the Anti-Know Nething party con vention may not be such as will satisfy the gen tlemen composing the committee in question, and those acting with them. On the whole, the complications of our approaching municipal election appear likely to prove refreshingly ex- citing. GoveRNMeNt Foxeras.—The protest of the late Colonel Benton against the expendi- ture of public money on account of his death, read in the House on Friday last, reminds us of the fact that among the last words of the late Capt. Black, long a useful and honored member of the U. 8. House of Representatives, wus an earnest request that the Government should not spend adime to bury him; as he believed euch expenditures to be unconstitu- tional. Thug, he died illustrating the sincerity of his Persistent ideas when in full vigor of health and mind, of the limitations of the Constitution of the United States. AxorweR Five Mitton Loan.—The Seere- tary of the Treasury has given notice that he will receive sealed proposals until the tenth day of May for the issue of any portion, or the whole, of five millions of dollars in Treasury notes, in exchange for guld coin of the United States.

Some debate ensued as to whether the motion During the summer morths the above Store will should be divided. be opened daily at 72s o'clock a.m., ard Mr. Pugh thought it was not inaccordance with | #¢t+ apt order to insist after the House has adhered. He advocated a motion to ask a conference alone; then, the bill would beretained by the Senate, aid would come up her- after the conferees have bad an interv.ew. If the Senate shall insist first, the bill will necessarily go to the House efter the conference, and as they have voted to adhere, they can do nothing more. Mr. Hunter and others urged that to refer to a committee of conference it is requisite that both Housea adhere to their former views. The bill may then go back tothe House, and that body may then recede. Mr. Mason thought the Senate should insist and ask for a committee of conference, and then the bill would go back to the House, and they may either recede from (beir adberen-e, or still adhering allowing the bill to drop altoyether In the latter case, the responsibilily will rest with the House, where Mr. M.thougbt it ought to rest.

The motion of Mr. Green, without being di- vided, was finally put to vote and carried, by a vote of yeas 30, nays 24 The Chair appointed Messrs.
