EVENING STAR. : WASHINGTON OITY: May 1, 1868. Notics to Meusers oF CongREss.—Members of 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 belf each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, under the caption ‘Kansas con- eluded,” rejoices at the passage of Conference bill, and discovers that the vote on the usual elincher in cases of sharp controversy, stood precisely as did the vote that carried the Kan- sas-Nebraska bill. It says that the controver- ®y appropriately closed om the anniversary of the inauguration of Washington, and antici- pates prompt legislation on matters now press- ing the attention of Congress. It remarks, in another editorial, that “it would sound better to hear the word Union oftener,and the words North and South not quite so often,” and thereupon procceds to fire into ultra men of beth sections. The Intelligencer ia devoted solely to news to-day. Book Notices. We are indebted to the artist and publisher, Mr. Edward Beyer, graduate of the Dusseldo-ff Academy, for the third volume of the macuifi_ eent “Album of Virginia, the Old Dominion I. fustrated.”’ Richmond (Va ) Faquirer Rook and Job Printing Office, S58. This admirable num- ber contains views of the Falling Springs in Bath county; the Environs of Richmond, from Gam- ble’s Hill; Ballard’s Rock, on New River, in Ss county, (a scene of fishing by night); four Views of Weyer’s Cave; the Salt Sulphur Springs, in Munroe county; the Red Swipher Springs, in the same county; and the Salt Pend, on the top of the Alleghany, in Giles county. We have before taken occasion to say that this work Js not only one of great interest and artistic worth, but of substantial value to all who desire to know more of the wonders of our remarkable country, aud especially to the sons and daughters of the Old Dominton. ‘Tue Qvaxer SonpreR ; or, The British in Phil- adelpbia. An historical novel Philadelphia : TB. Peterson & Co. For sale in this city by Franklin Philp. This is pat forth as a work of fiction, but the author claims that the incidents introduced are historically correct, and indeed as giving a more faithful description of the scenes treated than has yetappeared. The story opens with the entrance of the British troops into Philadelphia. The here of the tale is a sort of “Fighting Quaker’? and the principe! characters are drawn from the Secietyof Friends. In fact, the chief interest of the work is iu the insight it affords to the va- rious phates of Quaker life in that period. Professor A. D. Bache, of the Coast Survey has our thanks for a copy of the ‘+Report of the Su- perintendent of the United States Coast Survey for 1855. The report, with its appendix and ac- companying charts farnishes a complete and il- lustrated history of the eperations of the office over which Prof. Bache presides, for the current year. Besides this, the volums embodies a vast amount of interesting information on the variety of matters auxiliary to the immediate purpose of the Coast Survey. Wak vrox Carpets —The editor of the Mu- sical World (R.S. Willis) is writing some ex- ecedingly interesting reminiscences of his life in Germany. In the course of a sketch of Rink, the composer, and his home, occura this passage : ‘There is no carpet on the floor; the German home has generally no carpet, as we understand the term. Perhaps a Square rug is placed under the centre table, and this is called aecarpet. But the floor is so while, so spotiess, that it were a pity to cover over its immaculateness with any- thing. Indeed, after a short residence in coun- tries where a certain intimacy is maintained be- tween floor and scrubbing brush, even to one ac- customed to this inxury the carpet seems a not over-tidy thing’ Like the habitual black silk neckerchief, against which some Englishmen entertain such a prejudice from the fi that it foes not weekly to the laundress, so a carpet that eannot be washed dawns upon one gradually as @ not particularly neat institution! It is all a matter of ussociation : a habit of wearing wasb- able neckerchiefs induces a distike tea grimy, black silk one—the babit of walking on a scrub- able and tidy floor induces a dislike to carpets."? Willis might have added, with equal truth, that the French people abhor the filthy, dirt-ab- sorbing woolen carpet quite as heartily as the Germans. In fact, the carpet is peculiarly an English institution; and, however well adapted to the damp, chilly climate of England, is quite as much out of place in our dry, warm atmosphere 4s in continental Europe For Utau.—The Leavenworth correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says that the peace commissioners, Messrs.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tax Exp Ox’t.—The ‘action of the House yesterday on the bill to admit Kansas into the Union, vindicates the correc’ ent assurances to the public be admitted into the Union with nm Constitution. We have now y. ful ¥ that our private information fro e Tertitéry leads ms to the conclusiomthat, aw b promptly and gladly sostttea maji H the people of the Territory, in the face of the confident boasts of the opposition that the ma- jority there is ‘against Lecompton.”’ We speak by the card in making this prediction, and vite the reader to rememherit. The victory on the part of President Buchanan has been one ot the completest, and, under the circumstances, most effective known to the his- tory of American public affairs. But for the fact that Stephen Arnold Douglas had an axe to grind in connection with the question—felt called on to use it to secure for his return to the Senate of the United States, Republican- party votes in the Illinois Legislature—there would have been no Democratic split upon it whatever. The only hope for the re-election of his (nominally) Democratic colleagues of the House. after his absquatulation over to the Re- publican side, was to go with him—as slender as that hope was. Hence they were found yes- terday contending shoulder to shoulder with Messrs. Giddings & Co., to the bitter end. The personal popularity of Mr. Stephen Ar- nold Douglas, backed by their own personal diseppointments coneerning office for their in- dividual “strikers” in their respectivedistriets, also induced a few other nominal members to formally unite themselves with the Republican party, as all have done, who having been elect- ed as Democrats, yesterday voted with that party in the final struggle. Its (the Republican par- ty’s) disappointment on finding it eould not e>- trol Mr. English and those Demoera's wio-e original confidence in the integrity of the pur- pose of Mr. Stephen Arnold Douglas led them to abandon, temporarily, their identifica- tion with the Democratic party, manifested itself in a display of parliamentary usage never excelled in intensity, and utterly inde seribable in print soasto give the reader a faithful idea of it. Theso gontlemcn meant no wrong—no abandonment of their proper politi- eal allegiance, and entertained no purpose of strengthening the cause of the Republican par- ty. They were led into their unfortunate po- sition through extreme zeal for the principle of popular sovereignty and mistaken confi- dence that Stephen Arnold Douglas would not mislead them into a political quagmire in or- der to strengthen himself with Republiean votes to secure his return to the Senate of the United Stales. As soon as their eyes were opened to the light of the truth, they vindica- ted nobly indeed, the integrity of their Democ- racy. A handful of Southorn rights members for a time threatened the lozs of this all impor- tant measure to the future of the Democratic party. Every man of them acted in perfect good faith, however, from the beginning to the end of their tergiversation. Until discussion settled that question, they conceived that the report of the Conference Committee involved a surrender of a principle of the original bill of the Senate. Butit being made clear that they were mistaken in that view, when the roll was called for the final charge upon the over-confident cohorts of the opposition, they were found in their propér places, of course. But two of them were among the missing; estimable gentlemen in every particular, bent on dischargirg their duty con- scientiously, but unfortunately afflicted with idicsyneracies which detract from their practi- cability now and then, as legislators. In this case, as in most others, their kinks worked no serious mischief, though they aided greatly in temporarily embarrassing those to whom they are sincerely attached politically. To the firm- ness, discretion and good temper of tho Presi- dent of the United States most, indeed, is due for the settlement of this lately so threatening imbroglio to the future of Democratic party ascendancy. The trials in connection with it through which he passed have impressed the Democratic public men of the nation here as- sembled, with a senseof his firmness, sagacity, and statesmanship such as are required, now, more than ever before,in guiding the ship of State, as they have not been impressed pre- viously, since old Jackson’s time. Itis very clearly their opinion, evidently, that they owe most to his sagacity, energy and force of char- acter for the great triumph over which they are now rejoicing. Henceforward his administra- tion is to have plain sailing throughout the balance of the lifetime of the present Congress. Tar Discmanoe or tas Wonxurx.—The following papor from under the hand of Capt. Meigs explains his action of yesterday evening, anticipated in a brief article in yesterday's Star. The only point now to be considered ts, to prevail on Congress to make the appropria- tion necessary for the immediate renewal of the work. Surely all our fellow-citizens are so deeply interested in this matter as to induce an united effort on their part to have Congress act onitat once. The exhaustion of the ap- Propriation makes it suddenly, on the part of their providers, almost impossible to find bread for the mouths of thousands of worthy and de- serving persons here assembled hy Congress itself, to do its work. Will not Congress ‘mine- diately dispose of this case ’ Caritot Extension, 30th April, 1%58.
