EVENING STA WASHINGYON OITY: MONDAY..... Notick To MEMBERS OF Cone Ress.—Members of Congress can have their speeches printed with neatness and dispatch, at the Star offi Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-page speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 of more, one cent each SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union of yesterday again discusses the Search question. The British Under Seeretary of State having expressed views in reference to the matter derogatory to the position held by the United States, the Union says, “if these views are official we are unable to see our way out of the difficulty.” The Uvion, also, notes as a singular fact. that at the recent Philadelphia protection meeting the subject of slavery was entirely ta- booed. Mr. IL. Marshall, of Kentucky, likewise re- eeives a notice at the hands of the Union for his comments upon the Executive recommenda- tion of a bankrupt law, at the recent Philadel- phia meeting. The Jvtelligencer, in publishing a report of the remarks of the Earl of Clarendon and the Earl of Malmesbury, made in the House of Lords on the Sth inst., in reference to the late aggressions of British cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico, says they evince a liberal and just spirit, and show that in the minds of all par- ties in England. whatever tinge mere partisans on either side of the water may give to sub- Jects of irritation, there is a proper sense of the importance of maintaining unimpaired the pacific relations which for more than forty years have existed between the two countries. anti thon ee i In New York, on Saturday, the jury in the case of the Italian, Cancemi, for the murder of Eugene Anderson, brought in a verdict of guilty. 10> Ia the ease of Dr. Downey, charged with mourder at Staunton, nine of the jury that disa- greed stood for muider in the second degree and not the first, as nas been going the rounds of the press. From Havana —The steamer Black Warrior bas arrived at New York with dates from Ha- vana to the 15th. The U_S. steamers Fulton and Water Witeh had touched at Cardenas and then resumed their ernise.

He is brought in guilty of manslauglter in the second degree. ‘The public sentiment is settling down into the conviction that, bence- forth, there is to be no more hanging in New York As an illustration of the utter depravity of the murderer, it may be added that. after sentence was passed, after he was passing out of the Court room, be turned to oificer Hicks, who was one of the witnesses (hat testified against him, aud said “Ill take your I come out.’’ i> Buffalo, Chicago and other Western cities, it appears, are overran with laborers, who are unable to find employment. Inthe former place, last week, several hundred of this class paraded the streets, demanding “Work or Bread.” In Chicago. the demand for later by poor people bas been so great that the Street Commissione:s have been enabled to supply each man but two days in a week, at seventy-tive ceuts per day. It isnow thought best to cut wages down to fift cents, and put one-third more men into city ser- vice 2rious rumors re ing the separa. tion of Charles Dickens from his wife A late ietter from London has the following: ** I must, however, not forget to give you a lit- tle bit of scandal that is going the rounds of the iiterary world just now about Charies Dickens For the last fortnight or more he has been resid- ing at the etlice of Household Words, aud it ix suid that he desires to be divorced, but Mrs. Dick €us will not consent on account of ber childr 1 hear that Dickens has for some time been P ing attentions to an actress ut the Haymarket, (Amy Sedgwick, it is thougit.)

WASHINGTON NEWS; AND GOSSIP. Beales How To Do Ir.—The uninitiated at a dis tance have little idea of the intensity of the struggle that transpires here over the selection of the person to fill almost every office within the gift of the President. It not unfrequently happens that at least a dozen persons, from a thousand miles off, remain here for a month at a time, living “ at the top of their bent,” en- gaged solely in endeavoring to affect some single appointment to an office which does not pay more than two or three thousand dollars perannum. It is very clear to us that as such things are now managed by the office-drum- mers, the candidates, if they pay the piper, spend, in the aggregate, an average (for each office) of one year’s salary connected with it. This is a practice that bas been increasing, year by year, until it is now at its height, not only here, but in nearly every State capital in the Union. One great evil resulting from the current system of office-begging is, that it is day by day coming to require more of the time of those charged with the duty of bestowing offices to listen to conflicting representations on the part of the numerous candidates for every place, and their friends. Of the crowds who even yet continue to besiege the White House and the reception rooms of the heads of the Ex- ecutive Departments, daily, perhaps three- fourths are after office for themselves or friends. At the lowest caleulation, two and a half hours of the most important portion of the business day of each of those functionaries is occupied by the prayers and conversation of such parties as we describe above. When a contest for office before the Execu- tive is ended, the main contest for it has only fairly began. This is a wrinkle—an idea—of comparatively recent growth. Thus, the oppo- nents of the successful aspirants transfer their case to the lobby of the Senate, and though in most instances professing to be very staunch Democrats, they bold it to be all fair and prop- er to defeat the President’s recommendations before the Senate. if theycan. The practice first beeame a common one during the admiuis- tration of President Pierce, and is already much more followed now than then. Presi- dent Buchanan, by the exercise of the empha- sis of will, as an Executive officer, for which he is already famous, has had less real trouble in his hands from this souree than he would have had if possessing less influence with the Senate. Latest rrom Uran.—The latest advices from Utah are the despatches sent by Colonel Kane, who arrived in this city on Saturday evening, from Camp Scott, where he left Gov. Cumming, on the Isth of April. These ad- Vives, we learn, are confirmatory of those pre- viously forwarded from Gov. C., the substance of which was published in the N/vr at the time of their receipt. They are not yet accessible, however, and we are thus unable to lay the letters in ertenso before our readers. The hearer of the dispatches, Col. K., it is said, denies the statement made by the telegraph, to the effect that the army would move forward ou the arrival of the Peace Commissioners, and states that, on the contrary, it had been the request of Col. C. that it should remain where itis until orders are received from Washing- ton. He also denies the statewent that want of harmony exists between Gov. C. and Gen Jobnson on any important measures, or such as would jeopard the public interests. There was great hope in Utah, as elsewhere, says Colonel K., that the war was at an end. A peace party had been formed and was sufli- ciently strong in time to arrest the march of the Mormon forces against our own last spring It was the impression in Utah that Bringham Young, who openly espoused the cause of the United States, would, in this respeet. be able to maintain his position altogether. There was atone time strong opposition to him, before emigration was resolved upon, but ever since this the feeling of hostility has been subsiding. All the northern settlements are evacunted, with the exception of a few Mormons left to guard the public property at Salt Lake city Besides these, there are no Mormons forty miles south of that city. The seventy families alluded to in a recent dispatch did not. as stated, apply to Governor Cumming at Camp Seott for pro- tection. They were brought there by him from dalt Lake cily. 1. Kane speaks in the highest terms of both Governor Cummings and Gen. Johnson The former he describes as being especially calculated for the duties of his position, having the ability and dis ion to negociate with the Mormons in such a wise and impartial manner as best to secure the best interests of the nation and this deluded community. The ays, is a very able offi 5 er, who com- the highest respect of his troops, and s his authority in the most equable and praiseworthy manuer, and combining with these qualities excellent judgment and general intelligence. Nationat Dewr.—On the Ist of July next, the debt of the United States will amount to about $65,000,000, including the loan of $20.000.000 recently authorized by Congress. ‘Taking into consideration the pr aud the probable ex tof receipts during the ensuing year, itis improbable that any nents will be made until after the nexi fi year, ending July, 1559. In the meantime. however, the f the Mour- uy- eful termination « mon imbr wud the probable a le ad- j tof the difliculties with Lngtand, will the country a very large expenditure, the ity of which was apprebended up till neariy the close of the recent session of Con- gre Ispiax Taeaiins. —There have been two treatie= entered into at the Indian Bureau with the delegations of Upper and Lower tribes of Sioux Indians, resident in Minnesota,which have hail for their object the confining of the tribes toa portion of the extensive reservation Setapurt for them under the treaty of 1851. These treaties also make provision for settling land titles, and fur insuring to the Indians the usual educa- tional and industrial advantages which have been conferred on several other tribes. CauivorsiA LANp Craims.—There will be transmitted from the General Land Office, by the next mail, to the Surveyor General of Cali- fornia, for delivery, the following patents for Private claims, in said State.

Smith. the widow of said Stephen Smith, eon- taining 26,759.42 acres For the Corte de Madera, in favor of Maximo Mortinez, containing 13.16.09 acres A Dentar.—The Union, on reliable author- ity no doubt, emphatically denies the tele- Sraphic announcement in the New York [esul.d of Saturday, that “ Mr. Walter, who is super- intending the work of the Capitol extension, undes Captain Meigs, sent his resignation to the President on W ednesday, to tuke effect in six days unless Captain Meigs be removed.’” Tt says that Mr. Waiter has addressed no com- munication of the character indicated to the President or Secretary of War. Tue Court Martiar.—We learn that in the case of Commander Boutwell, now in trial bya Court Martial in this city, the evidence will probubly be concluded to-day. Some two or three days wiil be required for summing up by the counsel, and the caso will not probably be disposed of before Thursdgy or Friday next, Recovering. —The report that President Buchanan has had a relapse of his late indispo- sition is contradicted. On the contrary, his health has been steadily improving, and he is busily engaged to-day in the transaction of of. | ficial business. . - Tax Waarusr.—The following report of the weather for this morning is made from the Morse Telegraph line to the Sinithsonian Institution.

Ul Much sensation has been created in New York by the discovery of human remains which had been changed, by decomposition, into a spe- cies of soap known as Adipacene. ‘This is similar to a transformation which was found to have occurred at the removal of remains from the churchyard of Les Innocens, in Paris, halfacentury ayo. A body, which had been in- terred during the civil wars of the Houses of York and Lancaster, was exhumed in England some years since, which appeared to be in astate of remarkable preservation, the flesh retaining the plumpness of life. It was soon found to be completely saponified. [tis asserted that awick inserted in a body thus transmuted will burn for many hours A New Cexr —A specimen of a new coin of one cent denomination, has been issued from the mint at Philadelphia.

The body was recovered rosea. The body of a white man was found floating in the Potomac, opposite pur wharves, yesterday afternoon, by a litte boy named Harper. From the general bd Ata ea of the head and portions ofthe body it is supposed that the individual came to hte death by some fon] means. Justice Reaver held an inquest over the body, and the jury rendered a verdict to that effect. jo person ‘was able to identify the body. After the inquest it was taken to the rhouse and interred. We learn that the trunk of a human being (man) was found floating in the river, near the Great Falls, a few days since, with the head and. a portion of the limbs cut off, and the bowels tipped open. We should think that there is a race of cannibals somewhere in that locality that we have not heretofore heard of.
