SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Union, to vindicate the maritime policy of the United States, shows what reforms in marine police have been effected through our instrumentality: Tribute to the Mediterra- nean pirates ceased long ago, because we pre- ferred to pay it in the unacceptable currency of shot and shell; the creation of a special sea police through the Quintuple treaty was next prevented through our vigilance, and the free- dom of the seas preserved; our long main- tained principle that “free ships made free ,"’ was conceded during the Crimean war, as baving the force of international law; the unjust tribute levied by Denmark in the shape of Sound dues was refused, and a wrong that had the sanction of centuries yielded to the enlarged views held by American statesmen; lastly, the freedom of the seas, for which we have always contended, and in defence of which we once fought, has been acknowledged by the only power that has been disposed to contest it. In all these acts, says the Union, it is im- possible not to acknowledge that our Govern- ment has been always in the right. The Union also refers to. Senator Douglas's Chicago speech, saying of the telegraphic re- port “It may be imperfect in point of matter—it may vot embrace all Mr Douglas said = We sin- eerely trust it is, that much bas been left out and mueb reported which Mr. Douglas did not say ‘The latter would be a mest desirable amend- ment of the speech; for what ix reported to have been said will greatly astonish the country.” The Union further examines the ‘“ Historic Doubts’’ expressed by the New York Herald as to the settlement of the Search question, and defines in what sense the Unron is an ‘‘or- gan.” The Intel/:gencer finds much to object to in the views of “Whole Duty of a Democrat,’’ reported to be held by a delegate to a late Democratic Convention in one of the States. ————_-2+e- Tus WratHEr.—Reports from all northeast- Points, received at New York, sta‘e that Sunday ‘was the hottest day of the season.

Some members of the fumily of the deceased were pres- entat the arrival of the steamer, to whom the body was delivered.

General Jobnson had received an express from the peace commissioners, informing him that the Army would be peaceably received, but he did not feel any increased confidence in the Mormons, and the army was kept in readiness to repel treach- ery. In a proclamation issued to the people, General Jobnson says the Army is as ready now to afford assistance «s it was to oppoxe when there was a rebellion. The troops are all in fine con- dition. ee U7 In New York, yesterday morning, Cance- mi was brought into Court. Judge Wright made @ return to the Court that the prisoner was tried by eleven jurors, at the reqnest and under the stipulations of bis counsel. Judge Davis thea toid the prisoner that the Court baving considered the objections, did not see any reason to delay the sentence, which was pronounced by the Judge (Wright) who presided at the trial Judge Wright, in a few brief remarks impressively de- livered, adjudged the prisoner to be hanyed by the neek on Thursday, the second of September next, hoping, at the same time, God would have mercy on his soul. The prisoner handed a writ- ten paper to the interpreter, which was transla- ted tothe Court. The purport of it was that he (Cancemi) had been unjustly condemned by the aid of money. Under a European monarc hy he might have expected such a result, but under an American Republic he must deplore it. Tue Lyxcuino Cass ix Kentucky —Joseph Beard, the city marshal of Lexington, Ky, who was killed by Barker on Saturday morning, was at the time endeavoring to stop a fight in the market house. Barker, who was engaged jn the row, rushed upon Beard with a knife, which entered bis side, severing the lungs and entering the heart, killing him instantly. A terrible ex- element immediately ensued, and the citizens assembled in large numbers. Barker wax taken to the watch-house and thence to the jail. He wes, however, soon seized by the indignant mul- titude and marched to the court house yard. A temporary scatiold was erected from the court house window, and at § a. m. Barker was swung olf The first rope broke and he fell to the ground —a distance of thirty feet, bruising his face con- siderable. He recovered in a few moments and was againtaken up to the window, another rope attached, and he was then made to jump from the window.

Senator Doveias.—The speech of this dis- tinguished gentleman, recently delivered at Chicago, was looked for in this city with no little interest, if not anxiety, by the public men here of all parties. The key to their ex- traordinary interest in it wasits probable solu- tion of the doubtful question, whether it was his purpose to renew his connection with the National Democratic party or not—a point quite as important to the future of the Repub- lican party, as to the Democracy. In private conversation Mr. D. has steadily maintained his fealty to the Democracy, notwithstanding the bitterness and unrelenting vehemence with which he fought the party organization during the last session; as in the newspapers in his interest the pretence is vehemently urged that because the party ‘organization,’ in Illinois sustains him, therefore his and their struggle to secure the ascendancy of the views and measures of the Republican party on the Kan- sas question, is specially Democratic. We have not been among those who believed it possible that Mr. Douglas would renew his identifica- tion with the Democratic party, because we knew, first, that he could not jump back into his former position in its ranks and councils; and next, that he would accept no such fosi- tion (in the party) as he could obtain under the circumstances. We are therefore by no means surprised on finding him in this Chicago speech continuing to vaunt his achievements against the Dewo- cratic party during the last session; more es- pecially directly into the ears of his Republi- ean party constituents, upon whose favor he must now rely for his continuing in public life. He professes of course to be a Douglas man—a stage of political tran-ition incident to the transfer of any und every considerable public man’s party allegiance. That, however, will probably go no further than it is worth with any ove of sense and experience. It is to be presumed that those around us, who from per- 8 nal considerations have been hoping that ere long Mr. Douglas would forget his griefs and labor zealously to reinstate himself in the favor oi the Democratic party, will now comprehend that to continue longer to eutertain such fan- cies will be hoping against hope. Inprans in Urau.—We were shown yester- day a dispatch recently received by the Indian Bureau, from Dr. Forney, Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Utab, which bears date at Fort Bridger, April 17th. Dr. F. says that, during the preceding week, he had visited the encampment of the Sho-sho- Ne tribe of Indians, on Bear river, some fifty miles distant from the Fort, in the direction of Salt Lake City. Having previously promised two chiefs of the tribe that he would pay their People a visit when they came up to their en- campwent on Bear river, they had sent for him an escort of the two chief: in question and seventy men, all well mounted, and there was no proper alternative but for him then to re- deem his pledge, which he accordingly did. It was his first visit to an Indian encampment, and he expresses himself highly pleased with what he saw. He remarks, among other things, the habits of industry among these people. A chief, named Ben Simons, who acted as inter- preter, told him that the tribe bad out hunting parties almost constantly, and during the win- ter they had killed over a hundred elka, be- sides great quantities of smaller game This is one of the tribes, says Dr. F., on which Brigham Young boasts that he can rely for assistance, in case of a conflict between the Mormons and the Government. But the Doctor thinks he ** calculates without his host’? in this instance, and asserts that there is no doubt of the fidelity of these Indians towards the United States. Indeed, from the Doctor's letter it would seem that the repor:s of a probable eoa- lition between the Mormons and the Indians in that vicinity, to resist the authority of the Gov- ernment, have had very little foundation; for he continues, by stating that Wash-a-kee, a powerful chief of the Snake tribe, has sent him word that he will pay him a visit within two weeks, accompanied by the principal men of his tribe. White-Eye, a principal chief of a large tribe of the Utes, hud spent part of a day with Superintendent Forney, and urged bim to visit his tribe and have a long talk with all the chiefs and principal men before he left the fort; aud the Sio-Shbo-Ne chiefs wanted him to come to Bear Lake in May, and havea long taik with them. Frow this dispatch it appears the Indians of that district are not the inferior wretches they have been sometimes reported to be, but equally intelligent with those with which we Lave a more extended acquaintance ; and under the present excellent management of the Bu- reau of Indian Affairs, the respectful and proper course pursued by Dr. Forney may be the means of making them fast friends and powerful allies of the Government; thus ad- vancing their own interests, and those of emi- grant trains passing through their country. Tue Svpprewentat Pouice.—It will be perceived, from the Star's report of the Coun- cils’ proceedings last evening, that Mayor Ber- ret has availed himself of his privilege of ap- pointing the forty policemen whom the supple- mental police Jaw (passed since he came into office) authorized him to place in office in case the condition of the peace and order of the city required their services Of that fact the law makes him the judge; of course under due responsibility to the city’s tax-payers fur the exercise of his discretion. The cost of this supplemental police force to the city’s treasury is at the rate—while continued in office—of $26,000 per annum ; a very heavy addition to the expenses of the Corporation of Washing- ton, already so frequently short of funds to discharge its obligations. It is to be presumed that the fact of the Mayor’s heavy increase (thus) of the cost of carrying on the city gov- erpment is not designed by him to be pery et- uated a moment longer than absolute necessity for it shall, in his judgment, exist. When the law was passed there certainly ex- isted much more apparent necessity for such an increase of the police force than at present ; and, if the peace and order of Washington im- proves for afew briet weeks in like ratio, it will be evident to all that the late police force will be amply sufficient for all proper and le- gitimate ends. The state of popular sentiment around us as to the necessity of putting down States hose-ism and other rowdyism, the iate execution, and the disposition manifested by the grand jury to bring all such offenders to speedy justice, together with the admitted ef- ficieney of the new Chief of Police, caused a stampede of the shoulder-hitting fraternity of Baltimore and elsewhere who not long since congregated here. Hence the extraordinary difference between the state of law and order here at this time and when the supplemental police law was passed. We look to the result of the trials io come off before our Criminal Court for the balance of its current term, to make it so apparent that there really exists no Present necessity for the additional expendi- ture of $26,000 per annum on the police, as that none except those sharing it will be foand justifying its continuance. Navar.—The storeship Relief, which ar- rived at New York on the 11th instant, from Aspinwall, brought home 38 invalids from the Home and Pacific squadrons, besides two Mas. ter's mates, and Acting Master Aineas Arm strong. The latter was invalided from the steamer Colorado. Mr. John J. Frizzell, one of Walker’s men, who was disabled by gunshot wounds received while in an engagement under Walker in Nicaragua, and who has since been on board American ships at Aspinwall, unable to be brought home, also returned in the Re- Vief, it is said. ‘The Relief left no other Amer- ican vessel at Aspinwall, much to the regret of the American residents there. The following is a list of the officers attached to the Relief on her return: James H, Strong, Lieutenant commanding; Wm. W. Low and J. Howard March, Lieutenants; Jas. S. Thorn- ton, Lieutenant and Acting Master; B. Rush Mitchell, Passed Assistant Surgeon.. -_—— Fort Arsuckie—Locations, &¢.—We no- ticed yesterday that through the Superintend- ent (Elias Rector) of Indian Affairs in the Southwest, the Interior Department is in pos session of dispatches from Indian Agent D. G. Cooper, dated Fort Arbuckle, June 6, enclosing the results of the labors of the surveying party sent out to survey and mark the eastern and western boundaries of the Chickasaw and Choc- taw countries, and determine and mark the 98th degree of longitude, which forms the di- viding line between the territory of those tribes and that leased by the United States for the settlement of the Wachita and other roving bands of Indians. The report, as far as the la- bors of the expedition had then been prosecuted, is thus given by Mr. Daniel @.

Tux Rats of yesterday, last night, and to- day have gladdened the hearts of many thous- ands within the distance of a hundres miles of the Federal Metropoliz. In all that scope of country! all growing crops have suffered, more or less, from the drought that has prevailed fora month past—the forward corn, and the vegetable gardens especially. Immediately around us the ‘‘season’’ has been a sufficient one to enable the crops to do well for a fort- night or more without another shower; and we trust that Providence has been equally as bountiful to all agriculturists elsewhere who have suffered under the effect of the drought.

They will, it is suid. proceed a short distance down the river, probably to Fort Washington or Mount Vernon, and then re turn. Their departure was announced by the firiog of cannon. Governor Denver —We are satisfied that the newspaper story attributing to Governor Denver the purpose of resigning the governor ship of Kansas, is a mere idle rumor, for which there is no authority in fact. His visit to the East is to see his family in Ohio; and, we presume, to consult with officers of the Gov- ernment at this point with referenco to ques- tions of importance that have arisen or are likely to arise in the discharge of his current official functions. Ansent.—We learn that Thos. J. D. Fuller, Esq., Second Auditor in the Treasury Depart- ment, is at present absent on a visit to bis home in Maine. Meanwhile Wm. Mecblin, Esq., chief clerk in the office, has been author- ized to discharge the duties devolving upon the absentee.

The following are the branches in which they were sxeminedmepelling, rules of reading, tuies for punctuation, history, geography, exercises in sentence making upon the slate, mental and written arithmetic, and English grammar. In each of these rules the examinations were very thorough; and, considering the ayes of the ag generally and the many coheppervicns. under which our pupils have labored during the scholastic year, t acquitted themselves in the most praiseworthy manner, to the gratification, we are convinced, of every one in attendance. ‘The familiarity which the bigher classes maai- fested in the rales of grammar, their application in pursing and correcting sentences, and the general ease and correctness in solving difficult ropositions in mental arithmetic, were two ranchts in which they excelled ‘heir speci- mens of writing is also deserving of praise ‘There are, we learn from the Guardians, one or two other branches in which they have been well instructed, but in which they c: uid not be ex- amined for want of ime.
