The Government, we learn, does not insist on visitation or search as aright, but, regarding both nations as solicit- ous to put an end to the African slave trade, it desires a mutual understanding or arrange- ment as to the proper and most acceptable manner of ascertaining the character of sus- pected slavers. The whole tenor of the dis- patches is such (the Jutelirgencer says) as to recognise the doctrine so steadily asserted by the Government of the United States on this subject. The Union devotes its to-day@ leader to the Mormon question, presenting it thus: “The uliarities of this Mormon br met are their religion, their polygamous marriage, and their theocratic form of government.” With the first the government is not con- cerned; the second may be controlled only by the local laws of the Territory; but the last, while it imposes no duty upon the President of the United States, demands the notice of Congress, that seems to be obliged by the con- stitution te guarantee a republican form of government to the Territories (incipient States) of the Union. All this while the State is in- choate. When arriving at maturity, it asks admission in the Union with a Mormon status, the Union finds a constitutional objection, which it states as follows : “Polygamy destroys the family; without the family, the State cannot be repubiican; and no- less the government of the State be republican, it cannot under the constitution, it cannot in the nature of things, be a member of the confedera- cy. es The Uniox continues—it is unnecessary to Jay down any nice definition of what republi- can government is. It is enough to say that it is popular government, the government of all the citizens of the State, as distinguished from an aristocracy, an oligarchy, a monarchy, a despotism, a hierarchy, or a theocracy. ‘The Mormon government is undeniably of one or another of the latter class; it is not republican ia form ; and does not conform, either in spirit, in form, cr in fact, to the requirements of the Constitution in this regard. ~ ee Latex From Uran —Private advices from the army to May 25th, received at St. Louis, mention the arrival of Lieut. Armstrong at Camp Scott, with 75 head of cattle. A letter from an officer high in rank fn the army expressed a firm conviction that the troops would not be employed at all against the Mor- anons. The Leavenworth Times contains a letter from Fort Bridger, May 2ist, which says that Brig- bam Younz’s principal Mormon elders had con- sented to deliver them into the custody of the United States marshal to await a trial, provided that they were tried by a jury inno way comnect- ed with the army. A party of Mormons that arrived at the camp ‘were ia a halfstarved condition. They belonged to the faction opposed to Brigham Yonng, and Yepresented the church to be torn by dissensions. They desired very much to return to the United States. The reception of Gen. Johnston’s commissicn as Brigadier General had caused much satisfac- tion to the army. Captain Newton, of the engineer corps, had reached Camp Scott, aud reported that a perma- nent post is to be established at Fort Bridger, of which Col. Hoifman would take command. {>™ The trustees of the Dudley Observatory are in considerable of a quandary relative to the Principa! professor of the institution. A ditti- culty has arisen between Professor Gould and some of the trustees which may lead to his with- drawal. It seems that the scientific arrange- ments were placed under charge of Profesxor Bache and associates of the United States Coast Sarvey, as being the most competent judges of the instruments required for scientific and as- tronomica! purposes, and the individuals whose Practical experience were best adapted to secn-e the objects contemplated in the erection and in- @uguration of the observatory. Professor Bache, Heory and Pierce selected Mr. Gould, a pupil of the great Humboldt, as the best quatified person in the country, both in science generally and as- tronomy particularly, to take charye of the obser- vatory. Should the difficulties now existing be not speedily adjusted, it is feared that lamentable results may follow, which may ultimately lead the institution Into a vortex from which it would not be easy to extricate itself, We kuow uoth- ing concerning the real difficulties which exist, ‘bat this much we will undertake to say, that in our humble opinion the Coast Survey corps are the most compeient to judge as to the qualifica- tions of professors in the Dudley Observatory. an.

Tee Ixter-party Contest in Intxots.— Notwithstanding the warnings and prayers of the Richmond Exgutrer and South, we see no sign of union and harmony on the part of the two wings of what a year ago was the Demo- cratic party of Minois. Those there who hold views on the Kansas question in common with the Democracy of Congress, object, and it strikes us with good reason, to the idea of coalescing to strengthen the hands of men who avow their almost perfect identity of sentiment with the Republican party upon the leading if not the only great question now in issue between that organization and the Demoeratie party. If the friends and supporters of Senator Douglas evinced the slightest disposition to act here- after with the Democracy upon the slavery question, as not long since we hoped they would do, nothing would afford us greater pleasure than to find the true Democrats of Illinois dis- posed to forget and forgive everything that has passed of late, even to the extent of surrender- ing the nomination for every office to be con- tendedjfor in the Fall to Senator Douglas and his friends. But the case is different. They are demanding the support of the true Demo- erats of Illinois, if we comprehend their posi- tion, while avowing sentiments and views on the future of the slavery question identical, practically,with those of the Republican party. Under such ciréumstances, it strikes us as being worse than useless for the Richmond Lnguirer to be moaning, as of late, over the divided condition of the Illinois Democracy, and singing peans of praise of what Senator Dougias was and did politically before he took oceasion to contend more vigorously and effec- tively than any other man in the Senate of the United States, against the great measure of the Democratic party. While we admit the trath of all the Exquirer says of the former remark- able popularity of Senator Douglas with the Democracy of the South, we aver that it is no less true that his subsequent course placed him, in the estimation of nine-tenths of the Southern Democracy, in the category with John P. Hale et ai., and that he has done nothing whatever since taking his stand side by side with Hale on the Kansas question, indicative of a disposition on his part to retreat trom that position. On the contrary, he has constantly striven to strengthen the general impression, North and South, that upon the slavery ques- tion he is ever hereafter to be adetcrmined foe of the rights of the South as contended for Ly the mass of the Democracy in Congress and illus- trated in the policy of President Buchanan. Never was more nonsensical “‘bosch’’ uttered, than the ourrent accusations against the Ad- ministration of making war on Senator Dou- glas and his friends. From first to last, he and they have been the assailants, laboring with unprecedented zeal to break down the Buchanan administration, for the sake of ac- complishing that particular object. The Ad- ministration in pursuing the even tenor of its way in the matter of carrying out the will of the great mass of the Democratic party on the Kansas question, to the surprise of all true men found Senator Douglas and his personal supporters in the van of the opposition, carry- ing out the policy of opposition of the Republi- can party with more vigor and effectiveness—far more—than the Republican party themselves. To abandon the position of the Democracy on the slavery issue and adopt that of the Re publicans, was their only alternative to avoid the contest with Senator Douglas. To be his friend even now, will require that cours: on the partof the Administration To adopt it, would be for the National Administration instantly to shatter the Democratic party of the Union into fragments. James Buchanan is far too wise and patriotic to lend himself to any such purpose, even though continued hos- tility to him on the part of Senator Douglas and his supporters is the penalty 4c must pay for declining to do so, and the certainty of the loss of Illinois in the approaching election to the mere pretence of Democratic ascendancy, the penalty the party at large must suffer. We can perceive nothing whatever in the prospective re-election of Senator Douglas, ex- cept to strengthen the hands of the Republican party much more effectively than by the elec- tion ef some one who docs not fight their bat- les while ostensibly clothed in Democratic armor. = Siveutar anp Cenxsvrasie.— From the action of the Common Council on Monday, it seems probable that a portion of the body tend to sustain disorder and rowdyism in this city Such countenance to lawlessness as their positions seem to accord, merits the strongest snd most unqualified censure. The Board of Aldermen had added to the new police bill aclause prohibiting the members of the police force from becoming or remaining mem- bers ‘of any illegal or disorderly political club, association, or organization.”” When the bill was under consideration by the Common Council, Mr. Wallace, a member of that body from the Fifth Ward, moved to strike out that ciause; and his motion was agreed to. Another member moved to amend the bill by adding a clause, which made it cause for the dismizsal of a police officer if he is in the habit ot “loitering about drinking houses.’ This amendment the Council rejected, by a vote of yeas 10, nays 10. They likewise rejected, bya similar vote, another proposed amendment of- fered by a member, making “ good moral char- acter”’ a prerequisite for every person appoint- ed on the new police. Really these actions make it apparent that at least ten of the members of this branch of the municipal government intend to reward ruffians for their ruffianism, by, if possible, getting them positions on the police; or that they are at least determined not to shat the doors against the possible employment of ruf- fians and other unworthy persons, in the police force of Washington city. And, more than this ; that they arc unwilling to deprive those of such characters, as may be appointed, from the enjoyment of their old habits, and mixing with their old associations. Such legislation is at once disgraceful, both to those who aid and abet it, and to the city; andour citizens will do well to look to it carefully. We must remem- ber, too, that this body is quite as responsible as the Mayor for the preservation of good or- der in the city. The index afforded to its char acter by the detailed reports of its proceedings published in our local columns, will give them an opportunity of placing upon it that share of praise or censure that may properly attach to it. Muc™ Apo Asovr Notnixc.—The Proposed new opposition party, over tho birth of which our venerable neighbor of the Intelligencer is just now chuckling, is as ver:table and bald a humbug as either of its multitude of prede- cessors. Whenever the Democratic party is overwhelmingly strong, as against existing op- Position parties, the latter invariably scek to adopt anew name anda humbug of an hour, under eover of which they aim to inveigle dis- satisfied and short-sighted Democrats to lock shields with them. Who does not know that this, in brief, is the true history of the rise of every new opposition party that has existed in this country in the last twenty-five years? The very last, it seems, is to be dubbed “Tho People’s Party.” A ‘‘taking’’ name, certainly, But party names are dog cheap and ever have been—any one being at the service of any pro- posed party, for the mere asking. Indeed, the leaders of the movement have as much right to gall themselves the party of the people of the United States, as the never-to-be-firgotten “ three tailors of Tooley street’? to dub them- selves ‘‘ We, the people of England.” 7p An “immiense meeting’’ (as the Richm Whig assures the public) of the Delaware friends of the proposed new party was held on the 10th instant at Dover, whereat the platform (platforms quite as dog-cheap as party names) was for the first time formally pfo- mulzged, as follows: That the name of the party be “Tur Prorie’s Party.” That its principles be: ‘That the citizens of the Territories be allowed to settle thefr own fiistitutionus and their own forms of government That the constitution of every new State be submitted to the people for-ratification or rejec- tion before being accepted by Congress. That a tariff for revenue be laid with incident- al protection to home industry. That when the revenue of the Government ex- ceeds the expenditure, such excess as may be de- rived from the sale of the public lands shail be divided among the States, both old as well as That the importation of foreign criminals and paupers be prohibited. With the exception of the theft of a Demo- cratic party platitude and the adoption of the anti-Democratic idea that the people of new States may not lawfully and properly adopt constitutions without formally submitted to a popular vote, and the further exception of the anti-criminal emigration idea, which all of all parties alike approve, this new party’s platform of principles simply embraces doctrines for which the opposition havecontended from King Biddle’s palmiest days, down to yesterday. “Fool who, with your soft corn?”’ Tne Yeiiow Fever has already arrived— a single case—at New York, from Havana, coming by the Black Warrior. As the ‘‘heated term’’ has setin there, the New York public is evidently under great consternation over the matter. A gentleman just from New Orleans and Mobile, a close observer, assures us that, though the newspapers of thoso cities do not mention the fact, the fever has broken out in both of them. It behooves our corporate au- thorities to bestir themselves in the work of the purification of this city. Washington, up to this time, was never before more healthy at any season of the year. To preserve this blessing unimpaired will, however, require the earnest efforts of not only the authorities, but of all of our fellow-citizens. Uran Disratcnes.—The Cabinct yesterday had under consideration the dispatches re- ceived from Gov. Cummings, per Col. Kane. Itis said that tho information is not sufficiently convincing of pacific intentions and acquies- cence to law on the part of the Mormons to warrant any change in the movements of troops heretofore commenced Further intelligence will be anxiously awaited, and on that will depend the adoption of other measures than those now in progress Pre-eMpTion Laws —Under the old laws disputes arising out of preemie titles were referred directly from the ict Land Offices to the Secretary of the Interior. This caused that officer a great deal of labor, and consumed a large portion of his time. At its recent session, Congress modified the laws on this subject, so as to relieve the Secretary, and hereafter all such cases will be decided by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, sub- ject to appeal to the Secretary. Governor Wise.—Tho distinguished Goy- ernor of Virginia, we hear, was very recently in this city, in fine spirits, looking in fine health also. Itissaid that he had long and earnest interviews with his friend, the distinguished Senator from Lilinois, ere that gentleman de- parted for the West on the day befere yester- day. Navat.—tLieut. C. E. Thorburn, U. 8. N., has been ordered to California, to join the ex- ploring expedition fitting out at the navy-yard, Mare Island. Lieut. Thorburn is the officer detailed by the Government to accompany the camel expedition to California last fall.

Prof. Olmstead and the architect careful- ly examined the course of the electricity, and agree that the charge descended the rod to the level of the gas pipe in the wall, when a part of it left the rod and found its way to the earth by way of the metre, and thence to the main gas- pipes of the city. The excellent conducting me- dium which these pipes afford, makes them pow- erful competitors for the discharging function of a lightning rod, and thus when the rod is nearly or fully charged to fits utmost, the charge will divide itself between the two, according to a well known principle in electricity. This fact may be of importance in regard to the relative Position of the lightning rod and gas pipes of a building.
