EVENING ST WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY June 17, 1858, Notice 1¢ Meabeks oF Cone kEss.—Members of Congress can have their speeches printed with neetness and"dispatch, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-paye speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union reviews the modus operand: of the just-closed session, as indicating with many brilliant exceptions ‘‘that our Senate and House of Representatives are the very heavens of me- dioerity."’ ‘Considered with reference to party politics,” says the Union, “the session has been an anomaly. The people of our own country do not scruple to enter with alacrity into all the partisan contests that arise in their public affairs. Innone have they ever entered with more zeal than in the one which resulted in the election of a handsome Democratic ma- jority to the present House of Representatives; and in no victory have the majority of the people of the Union felt a livelier satisfaction than in the one which produced a Democratic majority to meet Mr. Buchanan’s Administra- tion. Unfortunately, however, there has been at no period of the session just expired, a ma- jority devoted to the cordial support of the measures of the Administration or of the Dem- ocratic party. Many of the men who claim to be leaders of the party will be found to have voted almost uniformly with the Republican and Know Nothing opponents of the party to which they profess allegiance; and it is a re- markable fact, that every assault that has been made upon the Administration by the present Congress has been instigated, directed, and stimulated by Demucratic members. We be- lieve 1t is a fact that no measure of the Demo- cratic party or Administration has passed the present Congress by a majority of Democratic votes.”” The Union also notices the Senate resolu- tions denouncing the right of search, and the new chapter in the code of honor, under which Senator Wilson settled his difficulty with Sena- tor Gwin; as also the stupor that appears to have overtaken the anti-slavery agitators. The Uniow, further, shows the falsity of the Tumor of a split in the Democratic Convention that has renominated for Congress Hon.

Tux Coutector or New Yorx.—We were in error a day or two since in saying that the nomination of Mr. Augustus Schell, to be the Collector of the port of New York, was con- firmed by a uiajority of three to one. The ac- taal vote was—yeas 36, nays 6—or six to one. This result of the efforts to defeat the confirma- tion of Collector Schell is important in a single particular. The truth is, the only question as to the pro- priety of his appointment grew out of the let- ter of Mr. Haskin, of New York, to Mr. Clay, of Alabama, the chairman of the Senate's Committee on Commerce (heretofore comment- edon in the Scar.) wherein it was distinctly alleged that Mr. S. was a person morally, and in every other way, totally unfit for the posi- tion to which he had been called by tho Presi- dent. To sustain these allegations, Mr. Haskin very clearly pledged his honor as a gentleman and a member of Congress, in essaying to give, as the chairman of the Willett’s Point committee, an abstract of the testimony before them bearing on the propriety of Mr. Schell’s con- firmation. When his letter in question came to the knowledge of the rest of that committee (of the House on the Willett’s Point sale,) they promptly and emphatically stamped its alle- gations with the brand of falsehood, by for- mally recalling it, and, in effect, protesting against its statements as not embracing the truth relative to the tenor of the testimony he had thus garbled to effect,in their name— though without their knowledge—a disreputa- ble ond personal to himself. What their views of the want of integrity involved in his letter in question were, is manifest in their reports, emphatical'y condemning, as unfounded in truth, his allegations against Collector Schell. What the views of the House were upon the same point is evident in their action substan- tiating the report of those gentlemen, and scouting that of Mr. Haskin. What the opinion of the Senate was relative to Mr. Haskin’s integrity as a Representative, is apparent in their vote of 36 to 6 in favor cf Mr. Scholl's confirmation in the face of Mr H.’s letter to Senator Clay charging all man- ner of crimes to his account, and falsely alleging that proof of the truth of bis allegations was embraced in the testimony taken by the select committee of which he was the chairman. The quod erat demonstrandum of the Senate’s action in Mr. Schell’s case embraces ample proof that men utterly without personal integ- rity will at times creep into the councils of the nation ; and that, when found out, the seal of Congressional condemnation is put upon them with an emphasis worthy of all praise. Tug FRANKiNG Privitecs.—The Senate de- serve tho thanks of the country for their recent effort to repeal the law according to Congress the privilege of sending just what any wember pleases, as mail matter, over the country free of postage. While the immediate tax on what would otherwise be the just revenue of the Post Office Department cannot fall short of a million of dollars, the tax upon the Treasury growing out of the existence of the privilege, rises much higher. It (the privilege) is the parent of nine- tenths of the extravagance of the public print- ing as ordered by Congress of late years. Beautifully-embellished and very costly books are cheap methods of electioneering, so far as the poekets of the components of Congress are concerned, when printed and distributed en- tirely at the cost of the national treasury. If the member had to pay out of his own means even the cost of the transportation of such books to those to whom they are mailed by way of securing favor for the senders, not one-tenth of the number and weight so sent would pass through the mails. If the receivers. on the other hand, were compelled to pay postage on them, not one would burden the mails where one hundred are so transported now. Perhaps three-fourths of the millions of postage-free letiers sent to members of Congress in this city are mere requests for copies of such books— none of which would continue to tax the time of post office employees and the revenue of the Department were the Congressional franking privilege discontinued. The mails from this city are loaded down at all seasons, and es- pecially while Congress sits, daily, with thou- sands aud often hundreds of thousands of docu ments, speeches, &e., prepared for the benefit of all the political parties, most of which are trashy things, doing more harm than good to the public morals. The actual cost of their transportation in the mails, alone, can hardly be less than an average of a thousand dollars per week, if not per day; all of which is a dead loss tothe national treas- ury. To so great an extent has this abuse in- creased, that long since members of Congress have adopted the custom of employing or au- thorizing clerks to use their signatures in frank- ing such mail matter, which, though clearly illegal, is notoriously practised to an enormous extent here. From this habit has, in turn, grown the habit of empowering clerks to frank letters in the name of members, which is also supposed to be so extensively carried on az that perhaps as many letters pass free through the mails, ap- parently bearing the signatures of members, which were not actually franked by them, as bear their franks according to the letter of the law The privilege has become so great an abuse upon the public, and so heavy a tax on the time of membors of the Senate, as that a majority of them resolved to break it up. The House, how- ever, looking to the “ Dear People’ entirely for their immediate future, clang to it with per- tinacity, which defeated the capital move. The fact that a majosity of the House insisted on continuing this erying abuse—which benefits themselves personally, only, at the aggregate cost of millions on millions annually to the na- tional treasury—exposes in glaring light the true value of the professions of being actuated by the desire to economize, with which the speeches of many who voted to retain the privilege are redolent. Navat.—The U 8. sloop-of-war Portsmouth arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., on the 13th in- stant, after a passage of seventy-nine days from Java, four of which were spent at the island of St. Helena. The Portsmouth has been absent from the United States twenty-five months; has sailed nearly fifty thousand miles, and visited all the ports in China opened to us by treaty stipulations, besides Siam, Japan, Singapore, aud Batavia. There have been fourteen deaths on board during the cruise ; five of these were killed in the attack on the Canton barrier forts, and the remaining nine died mostly from dis- ease peculiar to the climate. The following is a list of her officers: Com- mander, Andrew H. Foote; Iseutenants, Wm. H. Macomb, H. K. Davenport, Edward Simp- son, P. G. Watmough, G. &. Belnap, F. E. Sheppard ; Surgeon, A. H. Hendereon ; Purser, ‘Thos. If. Looker; Marine officer, W. W. Kirk- land; Assistant Surgeon, John Vansant; Mid- shipman, J. ¢ Mosely ; Boatswain, Paul At- kinson ; Gunner, (acting,) John G. Stewarts Carpenter, Joseph G. Myers; Sailmaker, Geo. C Boerum; Purser’s clerk, John W. Shaff. Lieut. Colville Terrett, and Mr. George W. Reed, late member of the China legation, came passengers on the P. Tux New Great Sovruwestery Rours.— The departure of Congress trom among us has fully tested the promise of the popularity of this new foute for Amerjoap travel. Quite three-fourths of the members and others des- tined for any point west of a line drawn from Lynchburg, Va., to the western extremity of the Gulf coast of Georgia and south of Ken- tucky, who have already left us, have gone by that route, while as large a proportion of those remaining will surely take it. For reaching any point in the district of territory described above, it is much the most specdy route avail- able; while the country it traverses is full of agreeable novelties to nine-tenths of the tray- eling public; andin all its accommodations it is surpassed, if equalled, by no other extensive line of railroad connections in the United States. Ithasonly tobe energetically brought to the notice of the American traveling public toinsure it a patronage by through travelers, equal to that now enjoyed by its great rival— the “ Illinois Central. Conriruations.--The following appointments by the President, have been confirmed by the Senate: Postmasters.—Hon. Jas. J. Faran, at Cin cinnati; Benj Harrison, at Cleveland, Ohio; Wm. D.

On the day before yesterday, he is said to have been bled, and yesterday was not well enough to per- mit him to receive the usual avalanche of visi- tors of the day.

Tur Senate, yesterday, after the executive session, resumed the consideration of the rexolu- tions introduced by Mr. Mason on the previous day, which are as follows : Resolved, (as the judgment of the Senate,) That American vexseis on the high seas, in time of peace, bearing the American flag, remain un- der the jurisdiction of the country to which they belong, and therefore any visitation, molestation or detention cf such vessels by torce, or by the exhibition of force, on the part of a foreign pow- er, ix in derogation of the sovereignty of the Uni- ted States. Resolved, That the recent and repeated viola- tions of this immunity. committed by vessels of war belonging to the navy of Great Britain inthe Gulf of Mexico, and the adjacent seas, by firing into, interrupting and otherwise forcibly detain- ing them on their voyage, requires, in the judg- ment of the Senate, such unequivocal and final disposition of the subject, by the government of Great Britain and the United States, tonching the rights involved, as shall satinfy the just de- mands of the government, and preclude, here- after, the occurrence of like aggression. Resolved, That the Senate fully approves the action of the Executive in sending a naval force into the infested seas, with orders ‘‘to protect all vessels of the United States on the high seas from search or detention by the vessels of war of any other nation’? And it is the opinion of the Sen- ate that, if it become necessary, such additional legislation should be supplied fn aid of the ex- ere power as will make such protection ef- fectual. The resolutions were adopted without a call for the yeas aud nays Mr. Clay, from the Committee on Commerce, to whom was referred the joint resolution to au- thorize the Secretary of War to modify the con- tract made with Righter and Crain for the remo- val of obstructions in the Southwest Pass and Pass a l’Outre, at the mouth of the M ississippi river, together with the accompanying papers reported them back, and asked to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject, on the ground that the work has been completed, and the contract complied with, and there is no necessity for any further action in the premises. ‘The motion was agreed to. On motion by Mr. Slidell, the Senate then ad- journed sine die. —————~+e-—______ {> The case of Cancemi, charged with the murder of policeman Anderson, has assumed a different aspect. Mr Blankman, counsel for the defence, and three other witnesses, bave testified that the rag picker volunteered his services and importuned them for money to leave the country before the present trial. Mr. Blankman refused, and the testimony clearly refutes the allegation of any offer of money on the part of the counsel for the prisoner to purchase the rag picker, to- wards whom the defence now points with some- thing more than suspicion as being himself im- Plicated in the murder. >> The National Division of the Sons of Temperance met at Indianapolis, Ind , last week and adjourned on the Lith, to meet in June, 1859, in Philadelphia. The following ottice:s were chosen: D. C. Towasend, of South Caroit- na, Most Worthy Patriarch; E. W. Jackson, of Maine, Most Worthy Associate; and Fred. A.
