EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: TUESDAY. -Juue 1, 1558. ~ Notice to Memsens oF Coxoress.—Members of Congress can have their «peeches printed with neatness and dispnich, 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. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union says itis currently reported that Lord Napier, the British Minister, has des- patched orders to the British naval commander on the Halifax station to forward at once to Admiral Stewart, commanding her Majesty's Gulf squadron, instructions to discontinue the practice of search till specific instructions can be received from the howe government. The Unon also sees trouble abead of the “‘reeonstruction,”’ and reminds the Republi- cans that the Montgomery robber band are acting in periect accordance with the princi- ples of the Kansas free State party. The Union thinks it not a little significant that the War Department have no official cons, firmafion of the reported capitulation of the Mormons It gives a letter from an Elkhorn correspondent of the Omaha Times, in which it is stated that the Mormon emigration pass- ing on the old “Mormon trail” this season is very large, entirely of men. The trains drop- Ping the old cumbersome means of transporta- tion, travel quickly, are well supplied with arms and ammunition, and in numbers are said to be equal to the troopsin the Utah army. The correspondent suggests that these trains should be stopped. : The Union, further, in a Summary of our naval foree and a comparison of it with that of Great Britain, shows the need of an addition to the effective force of our Navy. The Lutellivencer, ina Seven-column edito- rial on the “ Right of Search,” lays before its readers 2 concise review of the different phases Which the question has assumed since it first became a subject of discussion between tho Governments ot Great Britain and the United States. It says, “ Jt is apparent that on what- ever considerations they may be founded, or by whatever motive they may be justified in ‘the eyes of the British Government, the Ameri- can People will uever yield their assent to any pretension which involves the right of search or visit in time of peace, even though urged in the name of a cause which may appeal to the in- stunets of justice and humanity. On the other hand, it will not be denied by them that the fraudulent use of their flag by slavers or pirates must not serve to procure immunity for such transgressors, and it will remain for us to devise some expedient by which the demands of na tional duty may be met without involving any compromise of the national honor, if it should be found that existing arrangements are not adequate to this end.” The Jutellegencer mourns the death of Com. Jones, and gives a portion of its space to a no- tiee of his life. ————~2+e- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. — Tas Moxicira, Contest. — At the com- mencement of the current canvass for the elec- tion of @ Mayor of Washington city, for reasons which every one capable of entertaining proper sentiments as a man understood, and, we trust, appreciated,we announced that the Star would take ne part in it, and that (according to the Fuie that bas governed its businesa ever since its establishment, xs it governs that of every other successful penny paper in the United States.) its advertising columns would be free for the use of arybody and everybody who might choose to resort to them to place before the public his or their views with reference to the merits of the candidates or other points in- volved in the canvass. We were well aware that this course on the partof the Siar would give umbrage to those who hold the claims of Party to be euch as to demand ef us the sacrifice of our sense of right and wrong, and we expected to be inveighed against without stint ere the sun goes down on Monday next. Nevertheless, we determined to bear and forbear, persevering in the temporary course we had marked out for the Sar. Wo are therefore by no means sur- prised at the amount of misrepresentation and denunciation bestowed upon the Svur and ita course, by various smal! politicians around us. Our} ancient friend, the Union, however, haying turned its batteries on the Star, whieh has eo often stood between it and its detractors when it lacked friends to say kind words for it, it behooves us at least to say that we had not expected that journal to seek to misrepresent the Star's eourse and position. We trust that its act in 20 doing is unintentional, Thus, on returning to Washington yesterday afternoon, after two days’ absence, we found that on Sun- day morning last the Union had published a quotation from an advertisement that appeared in the Star's columns, and virtually attributes its statements to our editorial pen. The pur- poe of the writer in the Union was clearly to create the impression that the article he quotes was the Siar’s—not that of some advertiser, asitwas. Again, he intimates that the St;’« advertising columns are closed to the advocates of the election of Col. James G. Berret ; which error does us injustice. Every one such that has been presented at the Star's counter, coun- tersignea by a responsible person, has received precisely the same treatment accorded to simi- Jar advertisements brought there by advocates of the election of Mr. Richard Wallach. We have not published a line, touching the election, from our own Pen, or from that of any employee of the Star office, or from that of any one else, except Lona fide advertisements, save the cards of the different candidates, and the correspondence consequent upon them. Nor will we be provoked to Tetaliate attacks upow us during this canvass. We leave those who know the Star’s history, and have ex- Perienced the benefit of its political labors when and where it can properly take part in controversy, to judge of the justice of the aspersions now being cast upon it. In ano- ther short week we may fecl atliberty to enter into @ vindication of its course, if conceiving that necessary on our part; and, in so doing, if at all, the Star's readers may rely on it, we sball show as clear as sunshine at noon, whe- ther the Scar or its assailants have best served, for years past, the cause of the political prin- ciples to which both profess to adhere. Tus Fort Sxevuine Save Case —The New York Tribunc, on occasions the most abusive. malicious, unserupulously-lying press in the Union—we beg the reader’s pardon for calling things thus by right names, which we do only under the determination to speak the truth in tbe premises—leads the van of the newspaper assailants of Secretary Floyd in connection with the sale of the Fort Sneiling reservation. The Triéwne and all the tribe of journals which make it the rule of their life to backbite, vitu- perate and lie on any and every Democratic official when ocecasion may serve, while pre- tending to publish abstracts of the testimony taken by the committee, simply adopt and dress up the unscrupulous partizan representa- tions of the Republican members of the com- ‘mittee, including Mr. Morris, of Illinois, who seems to have discharged bis share of the com- ammittee’s duties under the impression that the * Speaker placed him on it only to whitewash the plunder schemes of his colleague, Kob’t Smith, ore in connection with the Fort Snelling Reserve— wt and prospective. ~ All who have attentiy ya the testimony taken before the comm! perfedity afnre that the conclusions of the majority are contra- dicted palpably by nine-tenths of it, (the evi- dence,)—leaving them (the majority) nothing to stand on in hoping to be sustained by the House but their confidence in the virulence’ and unserupulousness of the spirit of Congres- sional opposition of the times; a sentiment in which, we are happy to be able to say; we by no means share. In reviewing the remarks made ‘by the Baltimore Patriot in the case, the Petersburg Sovthside Democrat exposes the entire'want of basis for the report of the ma- jority, with a masterhand—saying : Amore unblushing arrav of falsehoods than the Battimore Patriot parades in its issue of Sat- urday last, on the Fort Snelling sale, it has not been onr evil fortune to meet since our connection with the press. Falsehoods, too, which cannot be aed ak the plea of ignorance or inaccessi- bility of information, but yet so obvious in their malignity that an enlightened commu- nity will do injustice to itself should it restrain the contempt, disgust and abhorrence they cannot but excite against their perpetrators. When po- litical =p ition descends to such meanness it cannot fail of its just reward. The Baltimore Patriot knows—because the tes- timony in the very report it quotes trom shows it, that the extravagant estimates of its good an- thority, of the value of the Fort Snelling prop- erty, was utterty repudiated and ridiculed by the t testimony of more than twenty-nine tieths of the witnesses summoned by the majority of the committee—that more than four-tifths of the wit- nesses stated that the property was sold for its fall value, that the majority thought the sale above its value, and that since the investization closed, nay within the past ten days, a memorial has heen piaced before Congress, signed by more than three hundred citizens of Minnesota, by the Governor, the Attorney General, the Judges, and the members of Congress from that State, expli- citly declaring that the sale was fair and the Price a full value. The Patriot knows that it was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the sale was made to Mr. Steele alone, and that no other person was in any shape or manner known, understood, be- lleved or hinted to have connection with bim at or before his purchase, and yet it declares the falsehood that Steele, with “Graham and several other favorites of the Democracy,’? were per- mitted to bny it. The Patriot knows the commissioners were fully instructed in writing, and declare on oath that they never bad further communicat on with the Secretary, before or after accepting Steele’s proposition. And yet, this unscrupulous libeller outrages decencies of the press, the common re- spect due itself of at least keeping its shame from the public gaze, by declaring that “it would not seem improbable”? that the sale was un agreement to share profits in the specutat Gov. Floyd. The Patriot knows that part of this very same reserve on two different occasions was sold at pu anction, after having been advertised in all the Northwestern papers, and far the most valuable part, and that speculators availed them- selves of fraudulent combinations te bay ft for $125 per acre, not an acre selling for more. And yet this conscientions jonrmal, so tierce on f aud, never raised its voice, but quotes from and pre- tends to rely on, as true, the evidence of the men who were parties to the frauds, and whose evi- dence is obviously the resuit of mortification that gacity of the Secretary’s management de- d their plans of further plunder The Patriot knows that the subject of the sale of the reserve was bronglt to the attention of the Secretary by the member of Minnesota, and re- ferred, as was invariably the case, to the Quarter- master General, who ieported in favor of the sale ; that, moreover, the entire subject has Been laid before an Army Board of high character, Which unanimously reported that the post was useless for military purposes ; and yet the Patriot avers that Fort Snelling was absolutely wanted. Ail this is on a par with the transparent foily aad nonsense that an endorsation rel uking a re- Port put on file was intended to cover the trans- aetion with darkness... The only difference is, that where the latter is folly the former is un- blushing falsehood But the transparent outrage on decency and propriety is, that at this day a journal, published in a Southern State, should take a Black Repub- lican report, and, without investigation, consent to put before its readers the garbled facts and out- fageous insinuations with which aa unscrupu- lous set of landsbarks and swindlers bave tied to blacken the reputation of a member of the Ad- ministration because he defeated their scheme poll mosey and secured for the government the only sale of land it ever made which a majority of the witnesses declare to have been adequate tn price. A Very Smavz Busixess.—We hear on sat- isfactory authority of a very extraordinary and reprehensible act of Mr. Jno. B. Haskin, the chairman of the committee to investigate cer- tain allegations of fraud connected with the sale of the Willett’s Point property to the gov- ernment. One of the parties involved in those charges is Mr. Schell. Collector of Customs in New York city, and therefore his conduct in connection with it beeme a legitimate subject of inqairy with the Committee; though noth- ing derogatory to his reputation was elicited. The President recently sent Mr. Schell's ap- pointment to the Senate for confirmation, and in consequence of his alleged complicity with the matter before the Houze investigating com- mittee, the latter was called upon by the Sen- ate’s Committee on Commerce, for a statement as to the bearing of the testimony in the case alluded to upon the propriety of his confirma- tion. Of course the communication was made through the chairman of the Senate committee, Mr. Clay, and addressed to the chairman of the House committee, Mr. Haskin. The latter accordingly wrote out a reply, which he signed as chairman of the committee. and forwarded to Mr. Ciay without submitting it to his fellow members. This reply is said to comprise a mizerably garbled and unfair statement of the evidence concerning Mr. Schell, well calculated to de- feat his confirmation, coming as it apparently did from the investigating committee of the House. Mr. Schell was informed of its pur- port, when he immediately sought an audience with members of the House committee and in- quired their motives for treating him so unjus- tifiably. Imagine his astonishment on discov- ering that four out of the five members of the committee knew nothing whatever of the com- munication, and that the whole was the work of the chairman. The attention of the committee being thus attracted to the matter, they withdrew the statement of Mr. H., and found it wholly at variance with the testimony—one they could in nowise endorse. It is stated that Mr. H. justified himself by declaring that the reply contains his construction of the evidence, and that he did not mean to commit the other mem- bers of the committee therein, and that he did not know that it was requisite for the matter to be submitted tothem'! ~ Tax Britisn Minister.—It is stated here in well informed circles that the British Minis- ter, Lord Napier, dispatched a special meseon- ger yesterday to the Admiral of the British North American ficet, with » series of instruc- tions. The character of these instructions i* not made public, but they are confidently be- lieved to relate to the outrages committed on American vessels; and, as Lord Napier disa- vows these proceedings on behalf of his govern- ment, it is thought likely that his instructions to the British Admiral are with a view to their cessation, unless made clearly according to spe- cific orders. It is somewhat singular that orders of a character to warrant such conduct’should have been issued to officers of the British navy, and that the minister of that Government should not be advised thereof. Lord N.’s mes- Senger will proceed first to Halifax, the exact whereabouts of the Admiral being unknown. CentTRaL Amgnican AFFAIRS.—A report is circulating in this city that, according to official information received, the Governments of Nic- aragua and Costa Rica have ratified tho treaty for a settlement of all difficulties between them, including the boundary question ; and that the Governments of Nicaragua, Costa Ried’ and Salvador have entered into a treaty of amity and defence. It is also supposed that Gugta- mala will join thé alliance. Intelligence from Bogota induces the belief that the Cass-Herran 8 o'clock. treaty will ‘forwardé ratified in its original form, and “y the next steamer. ‘Tae Exauiss Qpgra.—We are informed that ‘an: Stwatt has concluded a positive en ut with the leading English operatic performers now fn this country—Mr. Cooper, ({conduetor,) Miss Milner, Miss Richings, Mr. Guilmette, Mr; short sed8on'in the er, Mr. Perrin, &c.—for a ashington Theatre. Their performances will commence about the middle of next week. That is, so soon as the excite- ment over the approaching municipal election may have subsided.
