EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON OITY: FRIDAY June 11, 1858, Notics To Members oF ConcRess.—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 half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union publishes the message of the President of the United States on the Utah question, and rejoices over it, as announcing the triumph of the policy pursued by the Ad- ministration in relation to the affaiss of that Territory. The Union enters, also, into the considera- tion of the new phare of the Search Question presented by the disavowaf of the practice and orders for its discontinuance by the Admiral in command of the West Indi station, and the statement that no new orders of the subject have been issued by the Admiralty since 1849. Without placing implicit confidence in the re- cent pesceful turn of our foreign affairs in this respect, the [ion is inclined to believe that her Majesty's Government will promptly dis- ayow the acts of the Styx and other vessels complained of, and will give us abundant as- surance hereafter that our commerce shall not, Im hike manner, be molested. That. it thinks, is not euficient, but “‘holds that the aggressions recently perpetrated upon our peaceful com- merce in our own waters, under principles of jnternational law, sanctioned and maintained by the government of ¥agland, should be re- garded by us as offences demanding something more than apologetic notes an’ disclaimers. If we are right in asserting emzvity for our ships upon the ocean, and that they carry with them, and maintain for their goverument, the authority and jurisdiction of their own coun- try, it follows that any interruption, detetion, or search thereof, by the vesscls-ot-war of aa- other nation, are gross violations of our sdv- ereign rights.. And if such violations have taken piace recently, as we maintain they have, through the action of British cruisers, and under the alleged sanetion of instructions issued nine years ago, though now disapproved, the case is one involving, in point of fact, the irrevocable responsibility of her Majesty's Gov- ernment, which cannot be adequately atoned for short of a total disavowal by that govern- ment of the assumed right to visit our mer- chant ships while in the pursuit of lawful com- merce.”* The Unron. likewise. commente upon the New Orleans difficulties; and reopens its bat- teries upon the New York 7) thune and Times, for their course in relation to Collector Schell and the Willet’s Point investigatien.

U7 The Recorder of the New York Sessions calls attention to the fact that it is ditticult to get sesponsible, respectable and intelligent juries to try cases in court, and the Times says that the professional juror has become such an evil that the trial by jury is considered a farce. ij The ditticulty between the Erie and Cen. tral Railroads, at Batavia, is now in a fair way of settlement. An injunction has been granted restraining the Central Railroad Company from resisting the laying of a track by the Erie Com- pany. The former are nowengaged in removing all obstructions.

Ivpeacuuent or Junce Warrovs, or Tex- as.—We have before us the very able report of Ju Chapman of Pennsylvania, which is also pate by Messrs. Miles Taylor of La., Billingburst of Wisconsin, and Geo. 8. Hons- ton of Ala., the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, recommending that Judge Wat- rous be impeached of high crimes and’ misde- meanors. % = in the statement of the facts, great fairness is manifeste: nd in many instances the very words of the witnesses are given. The legal Positions taken are such as show mature judg- ment combined with a thorough acquaintance of not only the comprehensive principles, but minute details of the practice of law. This branch of the committee has evinced that the months of patient labor they have de- voted to the mastery of the case submitted for their investigation, have not been spent, as their report sets forth, without just cause. ‘There is also before us. as a part ef the same document. another report of three of the com- mittee, Messrs. Ready of Tenn., Tappan of N. H., and Craig of N. C., which with a qualifica- tion prefixed to his signature, is also signed by Mr. Clark of N. Y. This report being negative in its character, and not going into detailed facts, is brief, and does not appear to us to attempt to meet the points made in Judge Chapman’s report. As neither of these reports is signed by a majority of the committee, they are both styled, in Con- gressional parlance, ‘minority reports.” They are accompanied by the testimony and the docu- ments that were submitted to the consideration of the committee. On yesterday, a printed “memorial” (as it is styled) of Judge Watrous was sutuitted in his behalf. To us, it appears to be a brief, or writ- ten argument, rather than a memorial in the ordinary sense of that term. It certainly takes issue with the facts stated in Judge Chapman's report, as well as with the legal positions. ‘The volume ot the testimony in thecase being such that at this late day of the session it would be impossible for the members of the House to read the printed matter before the time set for the adjournment of the session, the whole com- mittee, yesterday, concurred in asking that the further consideration of the matter be post- poned until the second Monday in December next. As the Committee on the Judiciary of the last Congress unanimously reported that Judge Watrons be impeached, and the present com- mittee (eight only acting) is equally divided. the position of the accused is indeed critical. Under such circumstances, it would be ex- tremely indelicate in Judge Watrous to attempt to exercise the functions of his office Pending the consideration of his case set for next session. In our opinion a judge should be above sus- picion. If accused, he should not endeavor to suppress or limit inquiry into his conduct ; for, if innocent, it can only make his innocence the more apparent. Where it has been repeatedly called in question by those empowered by the Constitution to investigate it, his usefulness is gone until he is tried and acquitted by the Senate. If we remember right, other judges have been charged with and tried for matters of official impropriety ; but this is the first instance in which, first by the Legislature of the State in which he resides, and secondly by divers indi- viduals, a judge has been subjected to accusa- tions of o grave a character as that all other judicial prosecutions, when compared with it, appear of but minor consequence. Tae Witvetr’s Point Sace Investigation. We took occasion, a few days since, to mention incidentally that the result of the labors of the special (House) committee of five on the alle- gations of fraud in connection with the late purchase of Willett’s Point, to be used as the site of an United States fortification. was the determination of four of its members to report entirely exonerating the Secretary of War and Mr. Augustus Schell, the collector of the port of New York, (who were alone implicated by the charges of Mr. Haskin, of New York, and those confederated with him in getting up the prosecution,) from all suspicion whatever of having acted in any way improperly in connec- tion with the said sale. Their reports have since been presented and printed, and bear out our previous announce- ment, to the letter. Mr. Iaskin, the original prosecutor, of course dissents; and in his report simply essays to justify his own so-reprehensi- ble conduct in attempting to use his official position to libel honorable gentlemen (for such has been the upshot of his connection with the affair from beginning to end) in his effort to misrepresent the tenor of the testimony. This is a very small business, indeed, for one to be engaged in who holds a position of so great re- sponsibility to the public. as a seat in Congress. In his eagerness to criminate others, Mr. Haskin has effectually sueceeded incriminating himself, only. Thus, on the examination of a witness on the 2Ist of May, the chairman, Mr. Haskin, stated in the course of the cross-examination of a witness—* Mr. Horace F. Clark asked me about his (Mr. Augustus Schell’s) evidence, and I told him as near as I could recollect, every thing he swore to. I know the examination (Schell’s) was a satisfactory one, avd proved to me he had nothing to dowith the combination which effected the sate of this property to the Government.” This statement was entered by the clerk of the investigating committee, and was read be- fore the committee ayd became a portion of their official record. It was so sent to the printer, and was so printed. On Thursday morning, June Ist. Mr. Haskin delivered all the balance of the “copy”? (making about one hundred printed pages) and, as be- fore, repeated his directions that no copy of the printed sheets should be delivered to any one but himself, as the matter was a confidential one. Mr. Haskin himself subsequently went to the printing office and struck out from the printed copy of the record the following words. viz: ‘‘and proved to me that he had nothing to do with the combination which effected the sale to the Government.’ Consequently, the said clause being so stricken out, does not ap- pear on the printed eopy of the testimony as now before Congress. In his letter to Mr. Clay, in answer to the latter's inquiry as chairman of the Committee (Senate’s) on Comrserce, whether there was any testimony before the investigating committee affecting Mr. Schell’s integrity, Mr. Haskin made a statement embracing a most palpable and apparently malicious perversion of the tes- timony, the details of which we have no room for—stating as facts (evidence) embraced in the testimony, things in no way even alluded to therein. This statement to Mr. Clay was in direct contradiction to his statement before the committee as embraced in the portion of the record mutilated by him, as he has subse- quently admitted (the mutilation) before the committee. Notwithstanding Mr. Haskin’s apparent de- sire to keep the testimony secret until officially laid before the House in print, it will be recol- lected that portions of it reflecting invidiously on Mr. Schell, were printed some days ago in the New York Times ; and it is ramored—we know not on what authority, however—that it was hawked around among the newspaper offices in New York city for sale, ere being pub- lished as we explain above, The printer avers that it could not possibly have been obtained from his office. Of that fact there can be no doubt; sitappeared in the New York sau @arly as \the very day after Mr. kin delivered tga hundred pages of it to the printer - Haskin and his clerk are thes parties in this city who are known to handled it, the public will just- ly look to them for an explanation elucidating |. the breach ofobafidence involved in its surrep- ‘titious appearance in print, in New York. On the whole, Mr. Haskin, of New York, throughout the whole of this affair, has only managed to exhibit, most strikingly, his entire unfitness for his present position as a member of the House of Representatives of the United States. P. S.—The following is an extract from_a Washington letter published in the New York Herald of yesterday morning. Its statements are generally believed by all in Washington with whom we have conversed on the subject. We can only say to the Howse, that if falling to relieve themselves by expulsion of the odium of Mr. Haskin’s connection with the body, their late professions of a disposition to maintain the integrity of the Congress of the United States will be regarded by the country at large as the merest balderdash for Buncombe, conceivable : ‘* Developments in the matter of the Willett’s Point investigation show. curious state of things. The chairman of the committee, who wax the most active member in endeavoring to criminate the Secretary of War and others, now stands at the bar instead of within it. At the last hour of meeting yesterday it was shown that the chair- man instructed the clerk to write an anonymous letter to the chairman of the Senate committee, Mr. Clay, making charges against Mr Schell, as aman unfit for the appointment of collector of New York. This anonymous letter was mailed from New York. Subsequent to this Mr. Has- kin wrote a letter, ax chairman of the com- mittee, following up the charges, making ex- tracts from the evidence, and striking out state- ments which were very material. It was also shown that both the anonymous letter and that signed by Mr. Heskin as Chairman of the Committee were in the same handwriting, and thé clerk swore tbat both were dictated by Mr. Haskin. It was further shown that in an important affidavit the date was altered by Mr. Haskin from 1556 to 1857. the object of the altera- tion being to prove that the property was offered in 157 fora given price, whereas the offer was made in 1556. It was also proven that after the manuscript had been examined by the commit- tee, Mr. Haskin went to the printing office and altered the proof, and instructed the foreman not to allow a copy to be given ont to any one, not even to members of the committee. This is un- questionable authority for saying that the state- ment made in the Tribune of to-day, that Mr. Haskin had been exonerated by the committee, ts not true.”? Peace 1x Uran.—The President of the United States yesterday communicated to Con- gress the following message : To the Senate and House of Representatives : I transmit the copy ofa despatch from Gover- nor Cumming to the Secretary of State, dated at Great Salt City, on the second of May, and ie- ceived at the Department of State on yesterday. From this there is reason to believe that our dif- ficulties with the Territory of Utah have termi- nated, and the reign of the constitution and the laws has been restored. I congratulate you on this auspicious event. I lose no time in communicating this informa- tion, and in expressing the opinion that there Will be no occasion to make any appropriations for the purpose of calling into service the two regiments of volunteers authorized by the act of Congress approved on the 7th April last +*for the purpose of quelling disturbances in the Terri- tory of Utab, for the protection of supply and emigrant trains, and the suppression of Indian bostilities on the frontier.”’ J ain the more gratified at this satisfactory in- ei aence from Utah because it will afford some relief to the treasury at a tine demanding from us the strictest economy, and when the question which now arises upon every appropriation is, whether it be of a character so important and urgent as to brook no delay, aud to justify and require « loan, and most Probably a tax upon the people to raise the money necessary for its pay- ment. In regard to the regiment of volunteers author- ized by the same act of Congress to be called into service for the defence of the frontier of Texas against Indian hostilities, | desire to leave this question to Congress, observing at the same time tnat, in my opinion, this State can be defended for the present by the regular troops, which have not yet been withdrawn from its limits. James Bocuanan. Washington City, June 10, Is5s. A letter from Governor Cumming, dated May 2d, accompanied the message. He writes that Colonel Kane accompanied him from the camp. At the boundary of Salt Lake county he was met by the Mayor of Salt Lake City and the municipal officers, who escorted him to lodgings in the city. The people showed every possible mark of respect; and as soon as he was ready for business Brigham Young called on him, and surrendered into his hancs the seals of office. In an address to the people, in the Temple, Governor Cumming assured them that he came to uphold the Constitution and to maintain their rights. The assembly seemed to be well satisfied with this declaration. Ru- mors are bruited about that the Mormons will! fet fire to the city as soon as it is occupied by the United States troops. Large nuinbers of Mormons, ineluding Brigham Young and Kim- ball, were leaving the city, it was said, for So- nora. DrAp.—This community has recently been greatly shocked by hearing of the death of Maj. Patrick Calhoun, a son of the late Hon. Join (. Calhoun, which took place at the residence of his mother, in Pendleton, S. C , on the sth or 7th inst. His disease was consumption, which thus suddenly carried him off. His age was about 35, and there was no more eerviceable or promising officer in the Army of the United States. In this city he was universally known, re- spected and loved—for hundreds of our now most enterprising and distinguished fellow- citizens were his friends and associates from very early youth. Army Movenents.—A military subscriber, writing us from Fort Kearney, Nebraska Ter- ritory, under date of the 26th May, ult., says: “Lieut. Col. Andrews, Sixth Infantry. with his command (Fourth Company, Sixth Infantry. and one of Sappers and Miners) reached this post to-day, and found Company F, Sixth Infantry, Brevet’ Major ‘Armistead commanding, ready to Join and proceed to Utah Company F marched uctons the country from Fort Riley.
