EVENING STAR. —— ae WASHINGTON OITY: FRIDAY oeeees Jame 25. 1858. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer republishes the charge of Judge Campbell to the grand jury of the Uni- ted States Cireuit Court for the Southwestero district, which commenced its session at New Orleans on the 30th ult. The charge is princi- ly devoted to the neutrality laws and the — for the suppression of the slave trade. The Lutelligencer says the charge will be found to repay perusal, no less for its solid merits than for the lucid treatment which these much controverted subjects receive at his hands. The Union treats of The People’s Party” and its polyglot schedule of principles ; saying that the effort now to make a hotchpot of the principles on each of which they have been beaten successively, and to unite all the frag- ments of the opposition in support of a schedule embracing the essence and spirit of all, pre- sents a state of things as grotesque and droll to the beholder as perplexing to the parties immediately engaged in it. Their principles, cendensed in the resolutions adopted by a re- cent opposition convention held at Dover, is a very fair embodiment of the programme of the opposition for the appronching congressional elections. If, says the Union, it shall be found to answer a good purpose in these elec- tions, and shall escape being battered to pieces by the guns of the Democracy, then it may be employed also as the programme for the cam- paign of 1860. It isa flimsy platform and will hardly weather a single cawpaign. --———__-+ =e THE WEEKLY STAR. The Weekly Star is ready for its ten thou- gand readers.

Tne whole affair wears 4 Pacific aspect. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Joux Hecxer’s Buarap-wakina Macnines, We feel impelled to pay due deference to any claim put forth by one of such long experience and correct business habits as Mr. John Hecker, of New York, the inventor of some very extra- o-dinary machinery for reducing the price sweet and wholesome bread. Without institu- ting comparisons, we would simply remark, that if one may judge from the public prints, there can be no such thing as competition with Hecker’s machinery. Indeed, it is already evident that Mr. Hecker can sell bread at a less price per pound than is paid by consumers for th raw material. (See Hecker’s advertise- ment in another column.) It must be by a most ingenious arrangement of machinery that Mr. Hecker is enabled to accomplish so desi- rable an object. It is an old saying, however, that “ wonders will never cease.” We shall therefore cease to wonder, and bide our time to witness these bread-making operations. The following extracts from our exchanges will interest those who have an eye to the pub- lie good and to the success of American enter- prise. The New York E-cpress, speaking of an at- tack recently made by some of the bakers upon one ot Mr. Hecker’s men, whilst distributing cireulars, says : ‘*No opposition could be more senseless ana uncalled for than Chatwhich in at Present mani- festing itself against Mr. Hecker’s inventions; for whilst bakers cannot by hand labor compete with bis machinery, he hat most gencienely made bis valuable patents eligible to all upon the payment of a jercentage so small that, In connection with other advantages, it almost amounts to allowing those who use them to en- joy the bens fit on their own terms.’ * “Surely Mr Hiscke Low —_ Mating tron for the honors avd profits he is no’ ch » his patent bread mekiog machines. Why should the bakers object to his enjoyment of them, and why should they «et promptly fall into the rank and file wit» New Haven, Bridgeport, Port Ches- prooklyn, Williamsburg, Paterson, Jersey » and other surrounding citles and towns, i oppressed and famisbing his clean, nutritious, and prople the benefits o cheap bread.”? The New York Courier and Enquirer says: ** Good and cheap bread js a staff of life which Jobn Hecker, of Rutgers street, knows thorough- ly bow to make, and on which those who lean never find themselves disappointed in the sup- Port. Hecke:'s brevd Is, in fact, an institution of New York known ax well to charity as to trade. His motto is the best bread at the lowest rate, aud he carries it out to the letter.”’ The New York Daily News says: “ Berdan and his friends have tried the experi- ment in hese) org and Baltimore, and not without success. But it has been left for Hecker of New York to devise means for the benefit of ‘all the world and the rest of mankind,”’ bread of the best quality at the lowest price—the in- credibly low price of two and a half cents per pound ” The New York Dar/y Times says: ‘Breap-Makine.—We are always ylad to chronicle any movement for reducing the price and improving tbe quality of those articles which are of absoluie necessity to all classes of the peo- ple. We, therefore, call attention to the enter- prise of Mr. Hecker, who is soppiying most ex- cellent bread by the pound at halfthe usual price. His establishment is a decided pablic benelit.”’ The St. Louis Morning Herald says: “* Bueap Mawine Macuixes —We suppose all men, with much deticacy of palate or stomach, sree that, unless one is sure that the bread he eats has been manipulated by a clean-handed housewife, the less the human digits come in contact with the dough out of which itis baked ‘the better. The famous Mr. Berdan made some, but only a littie, approwch toa dissolution of this unpleasant connection. By his process,the dough, when nixed, Las to be weighed and rounded up ty hand, then left to stand until fitted to be formed fiaally into loaves, when it is remouided ty hand, and put into boxes or pans by hand— the whole process, indeed, being only a modifi- cation of the old system. * An inventor, stem. Mr. Hecker, has gone much farther. Iuderd, it wouid seem, that he has ac complished all cau be expected or even sired in this direction. It is said that HecRer’s machine for making bread receives the raw ma- 1 as though the wood and iron were endowed with homan intelligence. Without the slight- est ald by hand, it makes, moulds and forms the dough iuto loaves ready for removal to the ovens “This machine promises to work ont most gratifying results to the inhabitants of cities ‘The poorer «lasses will be greatly benetitted by it, if it is trae as stated that it will furnish bread at nearly half the price at which it can be affu ed under Berdan’s methods The D Commercial lestities that the bread manu by Mr. Hecker is of excellent quatity, and is sold at to and a@ half cents per pound, while the ex- tensive works in Philadelpbia and Baltimo under (he auspices of a joint stock company, aud the direction of the enterprising Mr. Berdin, though long before the public, have not yet en, abled that gentletnan to sell the same quantity of bread, even though inferior in quality, for less than four cents per pound “We und-rstand that by Mr. Hecker’s process the intimate mixing of the fresh materials—flour, Taud yeast oniy—is entirely effected by the nery without any necessary contact with hands Mr. Heeker bas already completed the en- largement of his bakeries and the improvement of Lis machinery so as to be able to work up two hundred and fifty barrels of flour, and manufac- ture sixty-two thousand and five hundred pounds of bread daily. Such announcements as these will, no doubt, attract the attention of our bakers in St. Louis.”? We learn, upon inquiry, that the cost og Hecker’s entire system of apparatus, to con- vert one hundred barrels of flour per day into loaves, will not exceed ove thousand dollars, and that the capacity may be indefinitely in- creased at a proportionate cost. On the other hand, it is stated on reliable authority (Ber- dan’s prospectus) that the machinery for car- rying on Mr. Berdan’s operations cannot be started at a less cost than “‘forty thousand dollars!”* So that even admitting that he could sell his bread as cheap as Hecker the odds are enormous—as Hecker turns out, by this calenlation daily, as much bread, with an outlay of three or four thousand dollars, as Berdan can with an outlay of forty thousand dollars! Tne Recorp MADE UP, AND THE FINALE or THE ANTI-Extra ALLOWANCE, on “WritrLe- sey War.’’—In an interesting list of acts and resolutions passed by Congress, and published in a recent number of the Stu, is the following proper paragraph : _*A joint resolution tn regard to carr: United States mails from St Joseph. to Placerville, Califoruia. ‘This re: signed 7 the officers of the two Houses of Con- gress and presented to the President, but not re- tarned by himas approved.” This is as it should be. It states afact whieh ought always to appear on the journal of a leg- islative body, and places the responsibility where it belongs, and where, doubtless, the President desired to place it, since the route of the Pacific railroad is not yet determined in any manner. The same sort of notice does not appear in the Senate journal of the second session of the Thirty-fourth Congress, in relation to the fate of the joint resolution relating to extra com- pensation for two preceding periods, which did not meet the approval of President Pierce. The ingenious explanations why he did not sign the joint resolution do not seem to have prevented Congress from passing a prohibitory section to operate ix futuro. Besides, it may be seen that, in a document of the second ses- sion Thirty-second Congress, p. 285, the ex- planation “ passed both Houses, not approved by the President,’’ was properly then given, and no good reason exists why it should not always be given. Its suppression looks like making mystery of what should be the exhibi- tion of am honest record of facts, whether of little or much importance. But, Jet it puss. As the result of long contentions of privilege at one end of the Avenue, and of steady protest in the Executive brauches of the General Gov- ernment «t the other, it may be proper to state that the following, taken from the appropria- tion act “for sundry civil expenses of the Gov- ernment fur the year ending 30th June, 1839,”” has been approved by President Buchanan, ant is therefore the settled law of the Demo- cratic Congress, which has just departed hence. Sec. 0. And be it further enacted, That ao part ing the M iasoutl, of the appropriations which may be at any time made for the contingent expenses of either House of Congress.sbail be applied to any other than the on @xpenditures of the Senate and House of Representatives, nor as extra allowance to any clerk, messenger, or attendant of the said_ two Houses oreither of them, nor ax payment oF! compensation fo any clerk, messenger, or other attendant so employed by a resolution of one of said Houses. The friends of the ‘‘ extras,’’ be it said, died hard ; but the backers of ex-Comptroller Whit- tlesey were inexorable; they were not to be diverted by side issues or paltry scandals. They resisted all indirect extras, by a monthly allowance or so to certain committees who had clerks that would have had no objection, of course, to take what had been devised to the “old regulars ;”’ but it wasallno go. Mr. Jones urged the Senate to take up the resolution extending the time of the clerks to committees for sixty days. Mr. Slidell moved that the Senate adjourn; which motion was agreed to, and the Senate at 4 o'clock p. mn., adjourned stne die. Thus ended “ the war’ sans cere- monte; the resolute Louisianian giving the lis: blow and the corp de grace to the * extras.” Decisions or tHE Treasury Department. The Secretary of the Treasury has affirmed the decision of the Collector at Boston on the ap- pzal of Wm. W. Warren, subjecting to duty, at the rate of twenty-four per cent., an article imported from Liverpool, and described as lava g28-burners. The Secretary holds that az the substance was earth it is embraced in the clas- sifiention “ earthen, China, and stoneware, and all other wares composed of earthy or mineral SUSia--og not otherwise provided for.” The Secre.—y has also affirmed the decision of the Collector at New Work, assessing a duty of fifteen per cent. on “ cast-sten :. coils,’ for the reason that it is manufactured by a similar process as cast-steel in bars; and has overruled the decision of the same Collector in assessing a duty of twenty-four per cent., upon the im- portation of an article described ae hemp or jute carpeting,’’ for the reazon that the erticle is not wholly composed of hemp. The prope: rate of duty is fifteen per cent. Later rrom Uran.—The War Department is in receipt of dispatches from Gen. Johnston, dated at Camp Scott, May 28. They are said tocontain nothing relative to affairs in Salt Lake city later than the dispatches brought by Col, Kano from Gov. Cummings; nor, indeed, any thing at all of public interest, except that the general health of the army is good. The movements of the troops towards Salt Lake City would depend upon the success ot the peace embassy, and, therefore, nothing was definitely known as to the future course to be pursued. It isstated, but not on official au- thority, that General Johnson has exonerated Lieut Tallmadge from censure in eertain ac- tions for which the latter had been arrested, and has sent a request to the Department ask- ing to have the charges which were preferred against him, withdrawn. Tae Treasury Extension.—It is well known that. for some time past, there has been only a small force employed on the Treasury Extension, owing to the fact of the appropria- tion having been so nearly expended as to pro- hibit the continned employment of the full complement of hands. The working men of Washington will be gratified tolearn, nodoubt, that Major Boarman, Chief of the Bureau of Construction,intends to increase the force after the first of July, as the new appropriation will then be available. Detacurp AxD O«ver«p.—Lieut. Philip R. Fendall, U.S. M. C., has been detached from the barracks at Philadelphia, and ordered to the steam frigate Merrimac, the flag ship of the Pacific squadron.

Tux ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.—Great fears were entertained in England that the second attempt to lay the Atlantic ‘Telegraph Cable would prove a failure. A correspondent of the New York Times, on board of the United States steam fri- gate, Niagara, writes of the experimental trip, as foliows : The weather was calm and the sea smooth. There was no swell—the ship was perfectly still, yet J must confess it was not so successful a trial as I had hoped and expected. Disguise the fact as we may, there were mishaps, misjudg- ments and miscalculations. The cable parted at every trial, whether new or condemned cable On the voyage, of course, the dangers to be ap- prebended are still greater—since the two ships have the same duty to perform, and failure on either will be fatal to the other. Another letter from an otticer says: “To the credit of the Niagara, [ must mention that when the cable was running out at equal rates from both ships, the break in every instance occurred from the Agamemnon. It seems to me that ship does not vive the matter the requisite care and attention; besides, she labors greatly. I predict a faiiure on her part, though | am very sorry tothink so, for I have taken a deep interest in this enterprise, and have something at stake in its sue - But after carefully watching and weighinz everything, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that @ third trial will hace to be made before the cable can be laid. One thing is certain—that if the cable is checked while it is running out rapidly, the job is over, for it will not bear the strain. I have heard some of the engineers and some of the electricians express the opinion that 1t wilt prove a failure.” PERSONAL. ++.

Otticers entered the house and found Downey lying on the floor of the front room in a state of intoxication. ‘The evidence showed that Mullins had seduced Downey's housekeeper, Mrrgaret Lee, and pro ised to marry her, but pat It off fro; jay to day. He was expected up that evening forthe purpose, and not coming, after supper McAlear, who had been staying with Downey for a day ortwo, went for Lim. Honehan accompanied them at Mul- Hins% t. When the party entered ihe house Mallins went directly to Downey’s chamber, ad- joining the front room or parlor, and D. followed. ‘Honehan heard a few words pass in the back room. McA. heard nothing, and neitbe: of them, owing to their position, could see into the room, although the door was open. Ina minute ortwo there was the report of « pistol. The witnesses ‘went in, found Mullins dying or dead, and con- veyed him out of the house, Neither of them saw Downey inthe room. Honeban came down the street for assistance, and McAlear remained by Mallins. “The testimony of Margaret Lee was introduced by the defence. She related the events and trans- actions of every day up tothe time of the killing. She told of Mullin’s promises to marry ber, and of his being expect mie day Saturday. When he came with Nea and H., and passed through the parlor to the chamber, she was sitting ona sof1, opposite the chamber door. Downey fol- lowed with a candle and asked him if he had the license, and if he was voing to marry the girl, to both which questions he answered in the nega- tive Mullins then said he wanted a book to “clear Margaret Boben.”” Downey went to the bookcase tn the parlor and got a book and ‘stole.’ He presented the book to Mullins, saying ‘Don't perjure yourself,” and Mallins struck the book cr Downev’s band—the book fellon the floor. Just ten Downey said, in a sharp, quick way, two.r the-> times, ‘ Lay that a a down !”? Wit- ness appealed to McA. and H to yo in, but they tefused. D. and M. rushed together, and M. held a silver mounted pistol, by the barrel, in his right band, which was elevated as bigh as possible. Witness bad often seen the pistol on the mantlepiece near which D. and M. were standing when the collision occurred. When the parties had scuffled across the room towards the back window witness ‘went te get up,” but fell on the floor, and immediately heard the report of a pistol. She fled froin ithe house while McA and fH were taking Mullins out Many other witnesses wi examined, some of them with a view to discredit Margaret Lee's testimony. Cana. ToLis.—Business on the Canals ofNew York continues to be satisfactory. Up to the 15¢h instant the total receipts of the season exceed those of the corresponding period last year by $115,391. We learn from Western papers that the receipts cf grain at lake ports are very large; and this fact, taken in connection with the boun- tiful harvest, which bas already commenced in the Mississippi Valley, affords assurance that the Erie Canal wiil bave full employment turough the remainder of the season. That its revenue should be so largely increased under a reduced tariff of tolls, is particularly gratifying. We see no present indications of that so often pre- dicted catastrophe, the atter annihilation of canal business by the railroads. {17 A Norse paper, called the Emigranten, or Emigrant, is published at Madison, Wis., and appears to be the organ of a Skandinavske Be- folkming, or Scandinavian population in Wiscon- sin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and other West- ern States. iL Cirevlars have been issued from Wash- ington and distributed over the Union, urging Mr. Crittenden as the candidate for the Presi- dency, irrespective of party (SP ATTENTION, MON TGOM’YIGUAR DS.
