The /utelicgencer is devoid of editorial to- day. ‘ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tre Mayoratty.—In another column we publish a correspondence between Mr. Richard Wallach and a number of his fellow citizens, who tender to him their support for the May- oralty of Washington on independent grounds. Mr. Richard Wallach is the brother of the editor and proprietor of the Srar—nay, more than his brother ; for on his (W. D. Wallach’s) return to Washington city in 1843. penniless, with heavy obligations upon him, and without another friend to whom he could look for as- sistance, he freely aided him with his purse and credit to any extent he (W. D. Wallach) deemed necessary in the liquidation of his debts and the prosceution of his (of late years) heavy business, without sceurity other than his con- fidence in the judgment and business integrity of the brother by ivhom he did a brother's part soworthily. Without his assistance thus ac- corded when needed, the Stzr could haye had no existence. Hoe ignored polities in affording us the means of building it up to become a pow- ertul lever in behalf of the Democratic cause; and we have to say to its readers, that we are not the man to direct it against him, under all the circumstances explained above We shail, therefore, abstain from using its editorial or local columns on either side in the approaching local election, leaving its adver- tising columns open to the use of the friends of beth candidates. Isstrectioxs To tHE AuERIcaN Cowmis- StoNER To Cuina.—The Executive document which we noticed yesterday as having been re- ceived by the Senate, was acopy of the instruc- tions given te the Hon. Wm B. Reed. the Com- missioner of the United States in China. for the regulation of hia official conduct during the existing troubles in that distant empire. As the document has been already published in the morning papers we shall content ourselves by giving a brief sketch, thus enabling our readers to gain an adequate idea of its charac- terand import. It starts cut by stating the objects the accomplishment of which the French and English Governments are understood to de- sire in their present proceedings toward the Chinese Government. These are, to procure a recognition of the right of other Powers to have accredited Miniz- ters at the Court of Pekin, to be received by the Emperor, and to be in communieation with the authorities charged with the foreign affairs of the Empire; an extension of commercial in- tercourse with China: a reduction of the tariff of duties levied upon domestic produce in its transit from the intericr to the cous stipa- lation for religious freedom to all foreign resi- di in China; an arrangement for the sup- Pression of piracy, and provision for extending the benefits of the proposed treaty to all other civilized Governments. The dvcument then proceeds as follows : - “*"Phese objects ave recognized by the Presi- dent as just and expedient, and, so far as yon cin do so by peaceful cu-operation, he expects tual you will aid in ir accomplishment. In con- formity with this poticy. you will communicate frankly with the and French Ministers mpon all the 's of common interests, so that Ht may be distinctly understood that the three nations are equally influenced bya determination to obtain jastice and by a desire to procure Ueaiy arrangements fer the extension and more ade- quate protection of their mercial intercourse with Chias. But on your side these effurts mast be confiaed to tirm representations, a) ing to the justice and policy of the Chinese authorities, and leaving your own Government to deteimine upon the course to be adopted. The Commissioner is also directed, in the event of Russia having an accredited minister at the Celestial Court, to co-operate with him in the furtherance of the above objects; but he is enjoined to constantly bear in mind that this country, ‘‘is not at war with the Guvern- ment of Chins, nor does it seek to enter that Empire for any other purpose than those of lawful commerce, and for the protection of the lives and property of its citizens. The whole peture and pulicy of our Government must ne- cessarily confine cur action within these limits, and deprive us of all motives either for terri- torial agsrandizement or the acquisition of po- litical power in that distant region.” The letter of Mr. Cass to Lord Napier, in re- lation to matters connected with the Chinese. was appended to the instructions. In that let- ter Mr. Cass says that it is not competent for the Executive te grant “ that concurrence and active co-operation which you consider so de- sirable.’ nor to give orders to the naval officers of the United States in China ~ tu act heartily in concert with the agent of the Allied Powers,” the ~ intercourse between this country and China” being, and must continue, “a mere commercial one.” Faxcy Pen-Kyives, Portrouios, Rer- cues, Paren Weicarts, &.—More or less of the newspapers are publishing, as a veritable mare's nest, an account of the expenditures from the national treasury for the pen-knives taper-bexes, dressing cases, portfolios, faney and other inkstands, ladies’ reticules, traveling eases, scissors, wax candles. te, kept in the offices of the Postmasters of the House and Senate, for sale to the members of Congress. Now the truth is, if the various litle nick- nacks enumerated in the bill for these articles were provided for the members without the re- turn of their cost into the national treasury, there might be ground for the invidious com- ments mado with reference to them. But such is not the care. Each House allows it: mem- bers a specified sum annually for stationery ; some of the most active and industrious among them use it allin paper, ink, pens. de. Some use more in that way. and pay the difference in geld. Otbers again do not use so much in ab solute stationery, and take out the difference between what they require and their allowance in ornamental paper weights, fancy pen-knives, seals or other triffes, as presents for members of their families, de. The amount allowed each, by law, is smal! enoagh in all conscience. and though the Post masters of the House purchase all these things w.th public money, every dollar so disbursed, above the legal allowance to eack mevuber, ges back in hard money into the treasury This explanation is due to Congress, and em- braces but the simple truth concerning this matter of which the wonder-mongers would make a shocking mare's nest evidently. Taz Yeriow Fev- «x —This region of cour- try may not reasonably hope to be wholly ex empt from yellow fever this summer. The history of the disease for a century past, proves that it gradually works its way up north, along the Atlantic coast, each year or two breaking out comewhat further porth than where it last raged. In view of this fact, the following ex- tract from the New York Times of the day be- fore yesterday, is quite as applicable to our own city as to New York. We accordingly publish it, in the hope that its advicewill not be passed unheeded by the local authorities of the Fede- ral metropolis : “Tue First Waryixe.—The arrival of the United States steam-frivate Susquehanna in our harbor with the yellow fever on board, at this early season of the year, should have the effect of xx the eves of our public authorities to the * necessity of takiag efficient steps to pre- veut the introduction of this much-dreaded dis- fase among usthe coming sammer. The disease broke out on board the Susquehanna while she lay im the harbor of Greytown. and assumed at once ® most malignant form, which a cruise at sea failed to mitigate. The susquehanna having come to Greytown direct from the Mediterrane: her crew must have been ina healihy conditio aud the ship free from any of the causes which a long cruise in the tropies Would have been likely to create favorable to the disease. The malaria, therefore, 1 have been of an unusually malig: nant nature, and its deadly effects on boaid aship like the Susquebanna, where every attention was r to the proper measnres for promoting the vealth of the crew, affords an indication of what the disease would be on board an ordinary pas- senger ship, where but little care ix bestowed upon sanitary regulations. We are constantly having arrivals from Central America, and the Susquehanna may be regarded asa precursor of many more visitors infected with the dreaded disease.”’ Tur Great Reavine Macutxa Casr.--The Supreme Court, this morning, decided the suit between the rival inventors, McCormick and Manny, in favor of Manny on every point. The case involved several important principles, and alarge amountof money. It was elaborately argued during five days, with an unprecedent- ed array of werking models and illustrations, showing the operation of various reaping ma- ebines in the grain field. The decision is a very important one, as it affects all the manufacturers and users of reap- ing machines throughout the country. The ease was originally tried in the Circuit Court of Illinois, and decided by Judges McLean and Drummond in favor of Manny. Mr. Justice Grier delivered the opinion of Supreme Court affirming the former decision, and dismissing MeCormick’s bill with costs. Reverdy Johnson and E. N. Dickerson rep- resented McCormick, and George Harding and E. M. Stanton represented Manny. Tue Kaxsas State Bun.—lt was exp-ctel when we left the Capitol at 2 p. m. to-day, that in the course of the afternoon, the Committee of Conference on the Kansas State bill, wou!d make the report indicated by us on the day be- fore yesterday. We continue, from what we know, to feel as- sured that their said report will be promptly coacurred in by both houses of Congress, though regretting to have to say that a few Southern Democratic members will probably be found ranged among its opponents. Tae American Mepicat Assoctatiox — This body are to meet here on the 4th of May proximo. From six hundred to a thousand doc- tors are expected to attend. The association is expected to sit three or four days. The memb-rs will, doubtless, be entertained every evening they are here, at the houses of their resident professional brethren, and, we hear, also by Secretary Cass and Senator Douglas; and ere taking their leave of us will, of conrse, visit Mount Vernon, and eat “ planked chad” at the White House.

CONGRESSIONAL. | ee a Eee: Thirty-titth Congress—First Session. IN THE Senate, yesterday, after our report closed, Mr. Bayard, from Committee on the Ju- diciary, who were instructed to inquire into the expediency of regulating the immigration of for- eign paupers and criminals, asked to be dis- charged from the consideration of the subject, and that it be referred to the Committee on Com- merece; agreed to. Mr. Cameron offered a resolution requesting the Secretary of War to transmit a copy of the report of Maj. W.H. Bell yviving the result of the trial of Butterfield’x priming apparatus in comparison with Maynard's primer; adopted. Mr. Crittenden gave notice that on Weduesday he should ask the Senate to consider the bill for the ascertainment and satisfaction of claims of American citizens for =poliations committed by the French prior to the 3ist of July. 1201. The General Deficiency bill was further éon- sidered, and several amendments, not affecting avy important items however, were agreed to. Without final action on the bill the Senate ad- journed. In THe Hovsé, the resolution allowing until the Ist of October next for taking evidence in the Nebraska contes ed election case was adopted The House went into Committee of the Whole, and resumed the consideration of the Military Academy bill—the question being on the amend- ment to increase the appropriation for the pay of e professors of the Militar Academy, &c., to $112,806, which was not agreed to. The bill was laid aside to be reported to the House with a recommendation that it do pass The commi te then proceeded to consider the DiIL making appropriations for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses of the Govern- ment for the year ending the J0th June. 1559 After considerable discussion, the conmitlee rose and reported the Military Academy Dill to the House; it was read a third time and pas-ed The House then adjourned.

In THE Senate, to-day, after the presentation of petitions, and the introduction of bills &c., the resolution anthorizing the President to tise force to compel the Paraguayan autborities to Rive satisfaction for an outrage on the U.S. war steamer Water Witch, was taken up. Mr Collamer opposed the clause empowering the President to use force. He contended that such a measure was unnecessary and unconstitu- Honal. Mr Mason was urging the necessity for ex tending such authority to the President at the time our report closed. Ix tHe House, Mr. J. Glaney Jones moved that they resolve into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the Leyislative. Judi- celal, and Executive Appropriation bill; but the motion was disagieed to; The House preceeded to consider the bill here- tofore introduced by Mr. Morrill, proposing to donate public lands to the several States for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts: posing to divide over six millions of these purposes, according to the representa‘ion in Congtess Mr. Phillips moved that it be laid on the table. 22 = PERSONAL. -.-.
