EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: TUESDAY... acoceees Jaume 15, 18 Notices To Memexxs oF ConGRRSs.—diembers of Congress can have their speeches printed with neatness and‘dispatch, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of 2 wixteen-page speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, noticing the olose of the session, says that though the time occupied by the Na- tional Legis!ature has been somewhat less than ‘usdal, it is believed that the two branches have been more hours employed than at any corre- sponding session since the organization of the Government. A review of the prominent events of the session, concludes with a rejoicing that the adjournment is marked by a condition of public opinion throughout the country which promises far less sectional strife than we have been accustomed to witness during the last four years. The Union also notices rumors alike false and foolish, proclaiming disagreement in the Cabinet, and an alienation between the Secre- taries of War and the Treasury. It says the utmost good feeling exists between all the mem- bers of the Cabinet; and if any two of them are on terms more cordial than the rest, they hap- pen to be the very gentlemen whom this latest and freshest rumor announces to be at dagger’s draw. The Union is severe upon Mr. F. P. Blair. and insists that he was hoaxing the House in using the letter of the Secretary of State to Lord Napier, to justify the recent British out- rages in the Gulf. The Union says: “Should the British Government accept Mr Blair's justification and appeai to him for author- t acompliment it will be to his patriot- isin; if they reject it, what a commentary it will be upon bis sagacity as a politician !”* The Uncon likewise congratulates its readers upon the decisive vote by which the Senate confirmed the election to that body of Hons. Jesse D. Bright and Graham N. Fiteb, saying : ** The Republican press bas been accustomed, for some time, to sneer at these gentlemen as usurpers of seats to which they were not entitled, and this has been especially the case whenever their votes have had a controlling influence ia deciding important questions. At such times, the Senate has been urged to a prompt determin- ation of the contested seats, as if the determina- tion was sure to result in the defeat of the sitting members. These members, however, have await- ed the result with dignity, calmness, and pa- tience. Conscious of the justice of their position, they were contented to await the triumph which they knew would not failtocome. This triumph has now been acbieved, and by a most yvatifying vote the Senate have decided that they are the jeyally elected Senators from Indiana. Mr Bright remains, therefore, in the distinguisbed body tn which be has already become eminent, and Mr. Fitch, who is associated with him, will falsify the promise of his career in the House if he does not occupy a most important position in the Senate.” The Lutel/igencer is without editorial to-day. ——_——_-e+e-—______ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tae State or tax City —We point to tho inaagural address and subsequent message of the new Mayor of Washington, delivered yes- terday, for conclusive confirmation of the pro- priety of the Star's appeals for months past, for a different state of things here so far as pro- tection to property and life is concerned. His appeals to the Councils mentioned above are worthy of the great interests the safety of which he is supposed to hold in the hollow of his hand; though whether he is to be justly respansible for the future peace and good government of the Federal Metropolis, will depend much, indeed, on the fect whether the Councils do or do not listen to his suggestions, and accord to him the means he declares to be necessary, in his judg- ment, to consummate the ends all good citizens of all parties sincerely desire to see accom- plished. 4 Beyond all question, for six months past, lawlessness has ruled here with a higher and more vindictive, merciless, dangerous and de- structive hand than ever before. As late as Sunday last, a gang attacked the residence of Mr. Magruder, on the outskirts of the city, wounded him on his own premises with a pistol shot, insulted his wife and family. and marched off without let or hindrance ‘That night another gang, ten bullies in number, broke by violence into the closed bar-room of one of the leading hotels of Washington, helped themselves to what they fancied, and after put- ting the house in an uproar, also made their eseape without arrest. Similar parties have played tho same game daily around the city for months; yet, as far as we can learn, hardly a cingle arrest of those participating in such outrages has been made. The truth seems to us to be, that the portion of the police disposed to do their duty are afraid to risk their lives in its performance, while another portion are friends and associates of mt least the leaders of these villeinous gangs. While wecan hear of no arresta,common rumor Bames policeman after policeman as being no- torious Baltimore or Washington bullies and “‘aboulder hitters."” Nay, it has becume cot uncommon to see Washington pulice officers riding in their uniform around the city,screech- ing mad under the influence of liquor. Under #uch circumstanees, itis by no means wondertul that few or no arrests are made for the crimes of arson, house breaking, robbery and wanton destruction of hotel and restaurant furniture, 4c.,iu our midst, and that the life of nu man— it matters not what his position in society or the inofiensiveness of his habits and associa- tions may be—is safe. No sane man can doubt ihe truth of Mayor Berret’s explanations of the necessity for the use of extraordinary exertions to retrieve the ‘peace and character of the Federal Metropolis; nor can it be doubted that if accomplished it ‘must be done under his supervision and through his exertionsin the main, aided by a thoroughly reformed police. While we are no advocate for an indiscriminate removal of all the present police. are certainly for the displacement of us or ineficient among them. Who they may be individually, it is the Mayor's duty to lesrn without delay; as itis also his Guty to replace them with men chosen with an eye single to the end of securing the services of the best possible persone for the efficient dis- charge of the duties of the position The new Mayor of Washington bas had ex- Perience in life,at least sufficient, in the present condition of our city, to impress this fuct on his mind. While his appointments on the police will be thoroughly seanned, as they should be, by all his fellow-citizens of all parties—fur the future of the lives and Property of all will be in their keeping in a greater or Jess degree— we feel assured that all men of character and influence here will, as they should, discharge chery duty in the emergency, by lending his efforts their countenance, without regard to their political differences. Unless they do so, the public cannot reasonably expect him to #uceced in the praiseworthy work he has an nounced as being the first task he takes in hand Upon the newly-elected Councils is also de- volved @ full share of just responsibility for the success of his contemplated efforts. Their duty is plainly to discard all other considerations than that of the restoration of law and order in Wasbington, in the shortest possible time, at whatever pecuuiary cost that may be necessary. A failure of cordial co-operation on their part with the Mayor will surely be the prolongation of the existing state of things; and the public piready look fo them as fairly dividing with the Mayor the msibility for the prompt dadinatics of iene of things here, described first above. Disastrovs Wratuer.—The weather for the past week has been big with threatening disasters to the wheat crop fora hundred miles around Washington city, in all directions. Up to that time, the prospect for wheat in that particular district of country was perhaps finor than was ever before known. More land had been planted to wheat in it, and the promise of @ yield was more abundant than ever before in proportion to the land so planted; while the ravages of insect enemies to the crop had been far less than fora few years past. The im- mense quantity of cold rain falling on the wheat while in bloseom, during the last week has greatly retarded the filling out of the grain, and proportionately increased the yield of straw. Nevertheless, the black rust has made its appearance nowhere, so far, in the section of country to which we refer. Yot all farmers therein are dreading, momentarily, from the peculiar condition of their wheat as explained above, that in twenty-four hours they may find the crop entirely destroyed by that enemy of the grain at this particular pe- Tiod of the year. A sudden change of the weather to bright, sultry sunshine, without a drying wind, would, in twelve hoursof it, doubt- less produce sufficient black rust to damage the farmers, thus, within a hundred miles of Wash- ington in all directions, to the extent of mil- lions of dollars. If the weather, on the contrary, changes so that a cold wind will blow without rain, and especially without sunshine, for a day before the suns rays are again fierce upon the wheat, no damage whatever will have been done to that gtain by the torrents of rain of the season so far, which, in its effect upon other crops, has as yet done no injury, except where it has overflowed low grounds. ‘The erops on the bot- toms skirting the upper Rapidan and Rapra- hanock rivers in Virginia, we regret to say, were yesterday in greater danger of general submersion, than at any former period since 1344. Mr. Cunningham, of Culpeper county, well known as one of the most enlightened and successful agriculturists in Virgivia, has fifty acres of Rappahanock bottom-land wheat, which a week a ago promised to yield thirty-five bush- els to the acre, completely under water; a dis- aster only to be appreciated by those whose means are embarked in tho noble pursuit of agriculture. P, S.—The weather to-day, at least up to 10 a. m.,is a most propitious change. If such weather as we now have here extends over the region referred to above and continues until night and then clears up, the late excess of moisture will produce no rust. Tux Lorzy.—Those who comprehend what goes on in Washington Lehind tho curtain (that is, the experienced observers) have duly noted the extent and activity of ‘the Lobby’’ here during the past fortnight. Tho “hubbublo»”’ concerning the lobby in the newspapers for the past years, and before investigating committees during the seasion, caused it to “fight shy,’’ covering its tracks as far as possible, and to burrow while at its work. During the last fortnight its schemes have been developed ; embracing proposed drafis on the treasury to an extent more enormous than ever before, in the furtherance of which not only nearly all the old *tagers, but an army of able, pertina- cious and unscrupulous recruits were enlisted. Conspicuous among them were many of the vociferous patriots, who before the commence- ment of the session were noted for tho vehe- mence of their outcries against the alleged abuses connected with the public printing. They were not more vociferous then, than earnest and industrious in their calling, ex- plained above, in the last fortnight. ‘They are indeed soldiers of fortune, aroused to very des- Peration by the faintest scent of gold to be clutched, either by maligning others or log- rolling among themselves. Fortunately for the public interest, most of their schemes for the session have been defeat- ed; so a large majority of these enterprising people must be shockingly disgruntled. Much isdue to the construction of the new Iall for the defeat of their schemes. That enables all to comprehend instantly all that is boing said and done in the course of any stage of the pro- ceedings of the House. Much is ulso duo to the change of the rule of admission, which ex- eludes nearly all from the Hall but actual members and officers of both Houses. That change scattered the ex-member-lobby as a flock of crows on being fired into. The pros- pect of making a big haul in the hurry and blunder of closing up, however, brought it back on Congress, in the last fortnight, to be defeat- ed in ite schemes for the most part, as we ex- plain above. The noise made by the different investigating committees, though bringing no little disgrace on Congress itself, as well as on the fair name of the country, in eome cases un- jastly, has served # capital turn in preventing members frum being victimized by friends in the lobby—the “d—d good fellow” argument having been almost all powerful with them un- til the results of these investigations exposed to the outside world the fact that for years past it had exorted perhaps the most deleterious in- iluence upon the public interest. Treasrry Notes.—Yesterday, the propo, sals for Treasury Notes, invited by notice of the Department under date of May 15th. 1855, were opened by the Secretary, in pursuance of the advertisement. The amount of the loan was $1,000,000, and the aggregate of all the bids reached $2,635,000. The number of bid- ders were 42, and are distributed among tbe cities of Boston, New York, Philadelpbia and Washington. None of the bids were fur a less premium than 4) per cent., or none for more than 6 per cent. The bids at 44 per cent amounted in the aggregate to $2,750,000, were all accepted, and the balance of the loan ($1,250,000) was distributed pro rata among the 4; per cent. bidders, giving to each of these just one-eighth of the amountof their respective bids. The bidders at 4} per cent.,with the amounts bid for, are as follows: New Haven Bank, $10.000; East Kiver Savings Institute, N. ¥ $0.000 ; Appleton & Co., Baltimore, $115,000; McKim & Co., Baltimore, $100,000; Bank of the Metropolis, Washington, $100,000; New England Bank, Boston, $50,000 nk of Com- merce, N.

A Srrance Proceeptna.—The House,on Saturday, agreed to some half dozen of the Sen- ote’s amendments to the Post Office appropria- tion bill. Those to which they refused to agree yesterday, became the subject of the delibera- tions of a conference committee. the result of whose labors was, striking off the bill all of them—those to which the House had agreed as well as those to which that chamber had re- fused to agree! Such a proceeding on the part of a conference committee was before a thing unheard of. All the amendments to this bill to which the House had agreed, were doubtless of much importance to the public interest, as they had been adopted as the result of close scrutiny and deliberate action on the part of both Houses. The action of both Houses in agreeing to the singular report of the confer- ence committee to rescind amendments previ- ously acceded to by both, was clearly the result of want of time in which to close up the busi- ness of the session in a business-like way, and affords a striking illustration of the wisdom of the warning and advice against a too hasty ter- mination of the session, embraced in the Pres- ilent’s message sent in on Saturday last. Such legislation was worthy only of school boys, im- patient for the arrival of the beginning of “the holidays.” Tue Env oF tue Sessiox.—The seasion duly terminated at 6 p. m. yesterday, according to the agreement of both houses entered into in the course of the morning. The usual hurry, excitement and bustle marked its closing hours, which were characterized by no occurrence of particular interest or importance. The Presi- dent, of course, was present in the chamber of the Capitol building occupied by him on such occasions, and by the energy and business tact he manifested, contributed greatly to facilitate and expedite the intelligent settlement of the various questions incidentally productive of misunderstanding and delays. Coxrmyen.—Notwithatanding the aspersions cast upon him by Mr. Haskin and his friends, the Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Augustus Schell, as collector of customs at New York. This is a just verdict against those who have not confined their opposition to hon- orable bearing, but have resorted to unwar- rantable and unmanly schemes to defeat the appointment of this gentleman. Mr. George Sanders was also confirmed as Navy Agentfor New York; and Dr. h. B. Tradford, of that State, was confirmed as Ameri- can Consul at Rome. Johu P. Stockt# was confirmed as Minister to Rome. AppointugNt.—Mr. Charles E. Mix has been appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs, vice Mr. Denver, resigned ; and we learn that the Senate yesterday confirmed the appointment. Mr. M. has been acting in this capacity since Mr. Denver was chosen Governor of Kansas, and the ability he has shown in discharging the onerous and frequently delicate duties devolv- ing upon him, shows this to be a most judicious appointment. Spactan Sassion.—Last ovening, the Prosi- dent issued a proclamation calling the Senate together in special session, for the purpose of transacting exceutive business. ‘I'he session (an Executive one) will hardly last longer than two or three days. Tax Weatsan.—The following report of the weather for this morning is nade from the Morse Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution. The time of observation is about7 o’ciock a.m : June 15, 1453.

Thirty-fifth Congress—First Sessi In THE SeNarR, after our report for yesterday closed, Mr. Doolittle submitted a resolution, which lies over, instructing the Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire into the expediency of acquiring by treaty, im Yucatan, Central or South America, the {banc and privileges of set- tlement and of citizenshi p for the benefit of such persons of color of African descent as may volur- bs. ; A desire to emigrate from the Uuited states and form themselves into a colony or colonies, wader the laws of the State or States to whieh they ¢migrate—the United States, in considera- tion of the commercial advautages of free trade with such colony or colonies, making and se- curing the necessary and proper arrangements to Maiatsin them in the enjoyment of the rights and privileges acqnired by such trenty of treaties. Mr Hunter, fromthe Committee of Cenference on the Post office appropriation bill, moved that the Senate recede from ail their amendments to the said bill. [The most important of these amendments are those abolishing the franking privilege of members of Congress and raising the rates of letter postage. | After some discussion, the question being taken, the motion was agreed to—yeas 33, Denice. On motion by Mr. Benjamin, a resolution was adopted, requesting the President to cause to be communicated to the Senate at the next session a list setting forth—ist, the names of such com- plainants or claimants, citizens of the United States, ay have preferred complaints, or claims against foreign governments to the executive de- partment of the government, for aggressions or spoliations or other demands against such gov- ernment; 2d, the amount claimed. 3d, a brief ab- stract of the nature of the claim, and of the ac- tion of the executive in relation thereto; 4th, the result of such action, and the amount of satisfac- tion obtained, if any; said list to commence on the Ist of January, Isis. On motion by Mr. Seward, a resolution was unanimously adopied tendering the thanks of the Senate to the Hon. Jehn C. Breckinridge for the impartiality with which he has discharged the duties of presiding officer. A message was received from the House of Representatives announcing that a committee had been appointed by that body, to act in con- junction with such committee as migbt be up- pointed on the Pat of the Senate, to wait upon the President of the United States, and inform him that, unless he hed some further communi- cation to make, the two houxes of Congress were now ready to close the present session. Messrs. Biglerand Foot were appointed on said committee upon the part of the Senate Subsequently, Mr. Biyler reported that the committee had performed the duty assigned them, and the President hid replied that he bad no further communication to make. After the consideration of executive business, the Senate adjourned sine die. Ix tHE Hovsg, on motion of Mr. Smith, of Tenn _, a committee was appointed by the Speaker to meet the committee on the part of the Senate, and inform the President that both Houses are ready to adjourn. On motion of Mr. Bowie, a resolution was adopted reques President to communicate to the House next session, whether any consul or comimeretal agent of the United Statex under schedule B of the act of 1856 is engaged in any mercantile Business, or employs a clerk or agent for any sueh purpose, directly or indirectly, and to communicate all correspondence on that subject. Mr. Smith, of Tenn , from the committee ap- pointed to wait on the President, Teporied that they bad performeithat duty, and that the Presi- dent had informed thems that he had no further communication to make. On motion of Mr. Clay, the House then took a recess until a quarter before xix o'clock, p.m. When the House reassembled, Mr. Beunett moved to lay the motion to recon- sider the vote by which the House heretofore agreed to print the usual numberof the reports of the geological survey of Oregon and Washington ‘Territories on the table.
