SPIRITOF THE MORNING PRESS. The Uniow leader of this morning is upon “Party Organization,’ and points out the in- stances of great men, of large influence and towering talent, who, having tried the experi- ment of despising their party, have all fallen in the attempt. ‘Ihe names of Benton and Van Buren are mentioned in illustration. The Union gives the cold-shoulder to the European republicans who andertake to create free governments by infernal machines, and adds: “ Orsini is dead, and if he is entitled to praise it is for disavowing at the last moment. when his fincerity was above reproach, the infamous doc oe assassination as an agency of popular refort#.”* The Infe//rgencer again devotes its columns to general news and Congressional proceedings to the exclusion of editoriat mtatter. z a WasilNGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ——— No Recrrtion.—We are anthor2d'to state that the usual Saturday morning recej*1 st |, the President’s Mansion will be omitted (* ( morrow. Kansas ix tee Hovse.—When our report left the House Hall to-day, it appeared likely that no vote whatever would be taken upon the report of the (Kansas) Conference Commit- tee down to an hour too late to permit us to record its result in the Star to-day. Tas Sextiment ov Cattronsia.—In view of the fact that Benator Broderick made, not long since, a great hubbaboo in the Senate bhamber over the assumed will of his constitu- ents upen the Kansas question, it may not be amise thet we should quote the extract that will be found belew, from the San Francisco Globe, which doses him thoroughly enough, as will be seen, with his own medicine. We are éuridus to ascertain whether Mr. NcKibben, Who has Been acting with Mr. Broderick, will bow to the formally expressed will of the De- moetacy of his State, now that it is so clearly against the position be took not long since without due reflett?on ~The people of California, fhrough their rep- Tesentatives in the Legislature assembled, have spoken out op the subject of Kansas. They bave drclared ‘That our Serators be instryet) 4 and our Repreaentatives requested to vote for fe im- mediate admission”’ of that Territory info the Union. They have denounced the agitation which Senator Douglas would again force upon the coun- try, and bave, by an overwhelming majority, sustained the President in his wise and patriotic policy. Freedom shriekers bave ranted; sym- Patbising Democrats bave seized the opportunity to give them aid and comfort; vascilating poli- ticlans bave sought to trim their course to the popular breeze; unfaithful journals have attempt- ed to make new issues, and timid ones have nt- tered foolish things ard then fled the scene of battle. But still the people and their representa- tives have remained loyal tothe cause—true to the Democracy—true to the wise teachings of its most honored champions. The question bas been well debated. In all its pvints it has been placed clearly before the masses. “In the Legislature, Ferguson, assisted by Bell and other shining lights of Black Republic: ism, have for hours and days occupied the time of the session, and the columns of the Sacramento Vnion. Certain of the pre-s bave expended count- less reams of paper and floods of ink in wordy argument, attacking the invulnerable position of James Bachanan, and the Democratic pasty of the Republic. Where talent bas failed to conjure up false promises, scurility of the lowest clasx hus been brought into requisition to spatter with its foulness the advocates for the instant admission of Kansas; but the contest is over, and even the air is clear of the skonk-like effluvia proceeding from the source. The result is a triumphant vin- dication of the right. And now what will be the practical effect of this clear and explicit declara- tron of the will of a sovereign State? Will ei- ther of the Senators or Representatives from California in the councils of the Nation disobey these instructions’? Will they acknowledge their allegiance to the people? Or dare any one of them set up his own will, based. as it is beliewd his action would be, on personal feeling toward the President. in opposition to the commands of bis constituents? The doctrine of the right of instruction ts too just a feature in a representa- tive government fur even a quibbling evasion to succeed or bold opposition be allowed to over- ride it. “Obey or resizn, Democracy Represent California tn the nfederacy of States, or else give place to trne men—to more faithful public servants Those who sent you te be the voice of the people will not be defranded of their rights by false speech. The masses. each one @ sovercign—will not yield their cle: convictions to the clouded prejudice or vindic- tive passions of any one man Obey, then, er resign. Every benorable instinct will counsel this, only the grasping after the spoils of ofice— the longing after the flesLpots—will cover up the wrong of acting othe: wise to the corrupt heart of bim who thas violates bis plain and beunden duty. Admit the Territory of Kausax into the Union, without further let or hindrance, say the people. The Lepisiature vive heed, ard stamp the words with the seul of the higbest authority Who, then, will set them at naught? Whowill impudently and arrogantly refuse to be guided y by the Sear expressed will the majorit: We shallsee. Men, itis true, may become so blinded by passion, as to, alone. against millions of their countrymen, recklessly airaign the Chief Magix- trate of the United States, aud even threaten him with the consequences of iesistance to their will: but the beight of folly will undoubtedly be reached when they «flect to despise the commands of those who pcliticaily made them, and who can as easily undo their work. even thongh that work bad been a regiment of Senators”? Steaming Across tae Atiantic.—The fact that the current voyage of the Canada, which steamer should reach Halifax certainly to-day, has already extended to a fitteen days’ trip be- tween Liverpool and New York. reminds us that the Collins line of steamers averaged eleven days and fuur hours, for five years, in making their passages from Liverpool to New York. While they were w ¢ line the Cunarders did their best to com’ with them as totime. For the last six months, for which time the Collins line bas been compelled to suspend the trips of their ships, the average of the westward passages of the Cunardere has falien back to fourteen days and eight hours! This increase of time in making the passage costs the business interests of the United States in interest on the cost of the light goods they bring hither and on the shipments of specie and bills of exchange they carry, perhaps far more than double the whole expense of the mail pay to the Collind line while it performed its late services to the Gov- ernment. The saving to the Cunard line by this increased time in which they have made the voyage of late, is about eight thousand dol- lars per trip, we apprehend, when calculated according to the data with which all steamship men are familiar Apropos—Another commercial disability re- sulting from the suspension of the trips of the Collins lin@ steamers is the fact that the Cu- narders, for their own convenience, doubtless, too often start at an hour in the day too early to permit merchants to send by them letters written after the receipt of their morning mails instead of at noon, as when they had competi- tors. This change of hour is most embarrassing to the business interests of New York. Gutra Percwa Mivitany Equiruests.— Seeing John Ryder, Esq., the agent of the North American Gutta Percha Company, and the original patantee, by-the-by. of the application of gutta percha to the industrial purposes to which it is now s6 successfully applied in this country, at “The Nation: in this city, we take it for granted that he comes hither to &e., have been found, after severe tests of years’ duration, made under the direction of the War and Navy Departments to embrace all the advantages over all other materials origi_ nally claimed for India rubber when so applied. Similar experiments have demonstrated. t! Indiagrubber goods as rarely answer for mi tary and naval purposes ag those of gutta percha rarely fail; the latter not being affected by changes of climate or temperature, nd not eracking or melting, as the former do. The comparatively very small weight and great durability of the gutta percha fabrics render them invaluable for a thousand purposes other than those of the Government. When the American public become acquainted with the material, it will doubtless be as popular with all, as with the men of science who have experimented upon it and otherwise used it for five years past, on the Government's behalf. Tue ASsaULt oF THE ABOLITIONIST HELPER on thr Hox. Burton Craiau.—We have re- ceived the following sensible and modest letter from the Justice of the Peace by whom Helper was not long since held to bail in this city: Wasnineton City, April 21, 1858 Editor of the Star: Sir: Lnotice in the Boston Journal of the 19th inst , an editorial paragraph reflecting upon me for having held Mr. Helper to bail to keep the re, beause of his recent fracas with Mr Craige nthe House of Representatives. ‘The paragraph states that Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, swore that Mr. Craige struck first. 1 did not understand his evidence. I naderstoud him distinctly to say that they struck so closely toge:her that he couid uot tell which struck first. ‘The andisputed facts in the case were, that Mr. Beiper jonah Mr. Craige in his seat on the tloor of the Mouse of Representatives, an angry con- wereation fook_ place between them, and a fight ensue@. Mr. Helper was arrested by the officers of the House of Representatives. He was armed with a dirk and revolver, which, on being re- quested, he delivered iato my pos on Now I fearlessly submit to all well-dispos and right- thinking people whether f was not fally justified under the circumstance in holding him to bail? Senator Hale did make some such remark as is aseribed to him in the Journal, viz: *‘that rowdy- ism bad run riot in the streets, of late, and now he found it sitting in our courts attempting to ad- minister justice.”’ I was surprised tbat the Sen- ator should have uttered such a sentiment, not only from the dignity cy hed testis but because, from htx professions, 1 had supposed he wasa friend of order and peace. If poverty makes a man arowdy, then [ confess that Senator Hale has done me no wrong in calling me one; but if honesty of purpose, respect for laws, and correct deportment constitute a good citizen, I think the Senator has done himself great injustice by placing me in thecategory of rowdies; for, in this community, where I am well known, such an imputation will not be credited, even upon the authority of the Senator. Very respectfully, your obedient se-vant, A.K. Arno.p, Justice of the Peace. Lerrixcs or Matt Contracrs.—On Mon- day, the 26th instant, at 10a.m, the Post- master General will announce his decisions on the proposals received, under the advertise- ment of December 31, 1857, for conveying the mails for four years from the Ist of July next, im the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi- moa, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michican, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, Nebrasks and Kan- sas Tersitories, in the order here mentioned. Also, on the proposals, under the advertisement of February }, 1558, for routes established by the act of Congress of March 3, 1857, in vari- ous States of the Union, the contracte being for shorter periods. Tus Bosus Lotrerizs.—The number cf letters and the amount of money contained in them, which were sent to the bogus lottery concerns, alluded to a few days since, and which have already been returned to their writers from the dead letter office is as follows : Directed to Todd & Co, N. Y., 57 registered, containing $627 ; 245 not registered containing $1,331.50. To Huntington & Co., N. Y., 20 letters containing $57. ToM. R.Smith & Co., New Orleans, 162 letters containing $125. To- tal amount, $2,440. This is, however, only the result of the com- mencement of the labor. IsterNationaL Courtesizs.—Dr. Rhodes, the young English surgeon who go nobly volun- teered to attend the sick on board the Susque- hanna when the medical officer of that vessel was laid low with the yellow fever. was yester- day tendered the privilege of the floor of the Senate. Inerovixa.—The statement of the Troasury Department for the week ending the 19th inst., shows a slight improvoment. The reduction of the amount subject to draft is only $156,999.21, about one-balf as much as it was during the preceding week. ComsissioneD.—The Interior Department has issued a commission to James C. Dow, of Minnesota, recently appointed to be Register in the Land Office for the district of lands sub- ject to sale at Henderson, Minnesota. A Coxscigxce Cass.—The Secretary of the Treasury received, afew days since, $1.50) in Treasury uotes from an unknown individual, who states that he had cheated the Government to that amount during Pierce’s administration.

It was none other than an ovation in honor of Orsini and Pierri, and a glorification of the sacred office of assassination. {>> Benton's Thirty Years’ View is said to have already attained the sale of seventy thousand volumes!

Ix THE Senate, yesterday, on the conclusion of Mr. Masoms remarks on the resolution rela- tive to the Nicaraguan question, the resolution Was laid over, and the consideration of the gen. eral deficiency bill was resumed. Various amendments were proposed and dis- cussed, but without any decisive action on any measure of im] mee connected with the bill, the Senate adjourned In tas Houss, the consideration of the bil; donating public lands to the several States to provide colleges for the benefit of agricultural aud mechanic arts, was continued Mr. Cobb closed the debate, opposing the bill. Tue bill would operate unjustly on new States now thinly populated ; for instance, New York would receive 700,000 acres, and lowa only 80,000 acres of land. The exclusion of the Territories tendered the measure much more odiows. Re regretted that it was not the fashion to cont the favor of Territories because they have not vot- ing representatives and senators. The measure, doubtless, would be acceptable to the States that already had agricultural colleges, but would only eat on we a ‘i e bill was final ut upon its passage, and carried by a vote of iosiyeas, 109 aye: re Mr. Morrill moved to reconsider the vote and lay the motion to reconsider on the table; which latter motion was agreed to—yeas 102, nays $2. Mr. English gave notice that he expected to make a report to-day from the Kansas conference committee The House then went into Committee of the Whole, and took up the bill granting pensions to the officers ard soldiers of the war with Great Britain of 1312, and those engayed in the Indian wars of that period Mr. Savage advocated the bill, and said {t would establish a system of pensions that would tend greatly to promote the efficiency of the army Mr. Fenton submitted a substitute for the bill. He did not oppose the bill reported by Mr. Sav- age, but asked that his proposition might be be- fore the House. His proposifion would do justice to those men, according to the understanding of the act under which they entered the service Mr. Curry obtained the tloor, when the com- mittee rose, and the House adjourned Proceedings of To-day. In THE Senate, to-day, the Chair submitted an executive communication enclosing communi- oations from the Secretaries of State and Navy in answer to the Senate’s resolntion of 19th Jannary iast, making inquiry as to the African slave trade, the coolie trade, and the French African appren- ticeship system; referred without reading Mr. Bigler presented a petition from citizens of Philadelphia, asking the Government to ex- tend assistance to a line of mail steamers from that port to Liverpool, by authorizing the mails to be transported thereby; referred. Mr. Sebastian offered a resolntion directing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into the aula of extablishing a wagon road from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to San rancisco; re- ferred. In THE House, Mr. J. G. Jones asked leave to have printed, for the use of the Committee of Ways and Means, the Indian Appropriation and the Indian Deficiency bill. Mr. Taylor, of New York, objected. Mr Jones said he wished a note made of this, as bis obj ct was to facilitate ag Ae abe re Mr. Savage hoped that the House would re- sume the consideiaion of the bill granting pen- sions to the soldiers of the war of 1512. The House went into Committee of the Whole on private bills Atl p.m. the Committee of the Whole rose, on motion of Mr. English, who then reporte., from the conference committee on the Kansay State bill. a substitute recommended by Messrs. Ene- lish and Stephens of the House, and Messrs Green and Hunter of the Senate, and objected to by Messrs. Seward of the Senate and Howard of the House The said report recited that whereas the people of Kansas did adopt and send for the acceptance of Congress a State constitution that is republi- ean, togetber with an ordinance that is not ceptable to Congress, the said Territory shall be admitted into the Union if the people thereof, at an election to be held under prescribed reguta tions, shall accept, in lieu of xaid ordinance, the schedule of terms off-red by Congress to Minne- sota. If not accepting the said schedule, then the Territory sball not be admitied into the Union until it may have the requisite population ac- cording to the censux, when it may enter the Unien, after baving formed a republican consti- tution Mr. English then explained the views of the majority of the committee on the subject. He held that the substitute was the best the commit- tee could agree on; and in imposing a condition of adminsion it did not differ from either the Senate or House bill. After considerable discussion. on motion of M . Hill, of Ga , the further consice ation of the su>- ject was postponed until the first ‘Thursday in May, by a vote of 1S yeas, 105 nays. ———_-s-e-—_________ [Communicatap. Tue Niacara Faris Water Power —.Mr. Edrtor: Some little time back, there appear d, in many papers, circulated in and about Wasb- ington, certain statements contradictory of each other, touching the most extensive hyd anlic in- terest, perhaps, in his country: I allude to that of the Niagara Falls Water Power Company, at Niagara Falls. The matter, from its real im- portance, commanded attention here. and many are known to have been painfully apprehensive lest the reported untoward electfon of Trustees for the current year might prove to be true, and a work of great national concern be thereby sac- rificed, possibly, to passion or caprice. The fol- lowing official paper bas, therefore, made a time- ly appearance ; and. removing mixapprebension. correcting misinformation, and dissipating all just grounds for any fears that have been stirred concerning the ultimate success of the enterprise which the company named are prosecuting, will be appreciated : Naw York, April 20, 1858 Atthe ammal mecting of the xtockholders of the Niagara Falls Water Power Company, held at their office No 23 Cortiandt street, this day, the following named yentlemen were duly elect: ed Trustees for the ensuing year, by a vote of 2,610 shares, being 100 shares more than one-half of the whole capital stock of the company : Horace H Day, New York James 8.

ALEXANDER Hay Resolved, That this company accept the p. opo- sition of Alexander Hay, to farnish money for the completion of the canal, upon the terms men- tioned therein; and that Horace I. Day, Alex- ander Hay and Atkins A Clark, or a majority of them, be a committee to negotiate with the bold- ers of the bonds, secured by mortzaye on the property of the company, and with the trnstees, for the purpose of giving to Mr. Hay the security of a first lien on the property of the company and of the bondbolders, for the amount so to be ad- vanced by him Resolred, That the trustees of this company be requested to carry (he foregoing resolutions into effect. ‘The above, among the acts and doings of the meeting of the stockholders, were ordered to be published.
