2 LO rag 2 WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY...........September S$, 1858. Noticz.—Many accounts due the Star office by persons in Maryland have been placed in the bands of Mr. W. C. Lipscomb, for collection, who is authorized to collect and receipt for those of its bills be may present to our debtors. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union rejoices over ‘the back bone of abolitioniem broken.’’ It doubts the whole pol- icy of political pardons, citing Senator Douglas, to prove “pardon the nurse of second offence.’ And further, marks bow thé Republicans trim their sails for every side wind. i The Intelligencer says the “States Rights men’’ advocate ‘‘a disguised and delusive form of Federalism.’” ——_—__—_+-3+-e-_______ > The yellow fever is still retarding the re- ceipts of cotton to a serious extent at Vieksburg, Miss. Kansas.—Governor Denver, of Kansas, bas published a letter, by way of reply to various pe- titions presented to him, by residents of that Territory, requesting bim te convene an extra session of the Legisiature. The Governor de- clines tocall this extra session, showing thavat the present time there areno members of the Leg- islature whose official terms have uot expired He also expresses the opinion that the next’ elec- tion should be held under the last apportion- ment, according to the act of February 2uth, 1557. Heconcludes by saying that he bad consulted the President and the Attorney General of the United States on this point, and both agreed that the next election should be held under this appor- Uonment. ‘Tue Atlantic Txixcrarn —Iit Iw stated that Mr. Whitebouse, the English electrician, who bas heretofore bad that department of the Ocean Telegraph, bas given place to Professor Thomp- sen, of Edinburg, as bis successor, and that if the latter gentleman should fail to secure the ob- jects desired, he will give place to Mr. flughes, of the United States, the inventor of an instru- ment from which important results to ocean tele- graphing may yet be realized. The New York Herald thinks that the opening of the line will not be delayed beyond the Ist of October. At the last accounts Professor Hughes, who has two instruments with him in London, was preparing to leave with one of them for Trinity Bay. It was arranged that the cable company should send a special steamer from Liverpool to Trinity Bay on or about the 10th of this month, to convey the Professor or bis assistant, with al! necessary instruments and Sxtures for working the cable He will arrive there about the 20th or 26th of the month, and will of course require a few days for preparation and the adjustment of the machinery. This will occupy him_gntil the 2th of Septem- ber, er perhaps to the ist of October, but certain- ly not longer. If, therefore, he succeeds in his calculations, we may count upon being placed in the full enjoyment of the fruits of his labors by the latter date. ee eee The War on State: 5 All day Monday workmen were engaged in erecting frame buildings for the accommodation of the sick and doctors. It 1s supposed that the buildings will be completed to-day, (Wednes- day,) when they will be taken possession of. The policemen bave an engine, which, no doubt, will prove serviceable in case of necessity. They are still comfortably provided for, all their wants being looked after with great care. They carry their vulean guns and practice with them, all making a great noise and intimidating the resi- dents of the neighboring town. Yesterday morn- ing &@ number of affidavits were made at City Hall against parties not yet arrested. In the af ternoon Governor King issued the following pro- clamation : Proct.aMation. The deliberate and wanton destruction, by a large mob of armed men, of the baiidipys.dwell- ing house and hospitals at quarantine station,the property of the people of this State; ibe cruel and obuman dragging forth of sick and disabled pa- tients from hewpitais, respected always, even in war; their barbarous exposure, without sheiter, throughoot an inclement night; the yeneral con- currence In and approval of these violent acts by the eh Ba) of Richmond, and espe- cially by those who reside in the neighborhood of quarantine grounds; the undistinguished and determined manner in which all these out- —— ‘were committed, mgr a total weet em and contempt of the laws; of all their obligat and duties as citizens and men—all combined, present, in my judgment, a case which, siandi alone in its enormity and violence, appeal di- rectly to the Chief Magistrate of the State. whose duty it is to see that the laws are faithfully exe- cuted, to assert and maintain the dignity of the State, and the authority of these iaws, so con- temptuously and barbarously detied and trodden under foot. Now, therefore, acting upow the high Tesponsi- bility of my office, and desirous to vindicate the supremacy of the laws. I denouuce these acts of arson and outrage as crimes of the highest infa- my; and for perl pet aa of bringing the people of the county of Richmond to a just sense of the enormity of these crimes which they have per- mitted to be perpetrated without any attempt at interference with or to punish well-known a-iors in all these terrible scenes of Vivleace, buroin aud bloodshed, and to gnard against turente which are yet made that ships tying a quarantine sbail be fired, and buildings for the aeeommoda- tion of the sick, who are now bouseless, as well as those who may arrive from infected Southern ports, would he destroyed as soon a8 erected, and tor the security of the cities of New York and Breoklyn from i and pestilence, | issue this proclamation, and cali upon ali civil author- ities of the county of Richmond, and upon each and all of the inhabitants, instantly aud zealousl to co-operate in restoring the Outraged peace an order of the Island, and ia br! ing to condiga punishment the well-known bold and Principal actor and @f those acts of arson and snurder. And I declare that by reason of the nets and proetiae hereia referred to, and the refusal of the sberiff of the count ¥ of Richmond, although repestediy notified that threats had been made to destroy the public property at quarantine, to take any steps to prevent the consummation of those toreats, and the absolute necessity for an ade- quate force to protect buitdings to be erected for tue sick, ou the very site where they stood, until provision shall be made by law for their removal to some other place, and to reiease a police force withdraws from the general service of the cities of New York and Brooklyn and now stationed et ppp that the county of Richmond js in @ state of insurrection; aud in order to assist in preserving and to protect the Property of the Mtate and lives of the sick, that a military foree of sufficient strength ve detailed and stationed at quasantine until a returning sense of the peo. pile of Richmond county to their duties and obli- gations os peaceful citizens shall render its pres- ebew unnecessary, or until the Lezisistnre shall otherwise direct.

He received the requisition for sixty men, signed by Gen. Nye, as President of the Board of Police Commissioners, but decided net to execute it without the setion of the full Board, onthe ground that if the men were sent down they would bave to remain during the balance of the sickly season.

Grow, Pi N. No other letters were either received or read. The only speakers (except three or four small politicians residing in the district, of whom no- body out of it ever before heard.) were Has- kin himself and the redoubtable Mr. John W. Forney. The speech of the Jatter was the “card”? of the occasion, of course, as he is somewhat gifted with gab, while Haskin cannot, on the stump or elsewhere, string half a dozen sentences together in tolerably decent English. His (Haskin’s) oratory is entirely of the pot- house order, having been legitimately acquired in the school in which he studied politics—the low @rinking houses of New York city fre- quented by its ward politicians, among whom Haskin was for years conspicuous for his re- markable unserupulousness in the pursuit of corporation plunder, or of small municipal and county offices. He was, in fact, for ten years before being sent to Congress a mere “blower” around the purlieus of the “Pewter Mug,”’ with a reputation for great skill in bribing the men of his own class who are in the habit of getting themselves “ packed’’ upon nomina- ting conventions in order to make money by selling their votes for hard cash down on the nail. For years, and years, and years, ere coming tq Congress, John B. Haskin was best known as the chief among the little managers of the election of such persons to New York nominating conventions ; their friend and boon companion, and the chief broker in trading for Such and such only is this Mr, John B, Has- kin at home, who, not only im hie legislative capacity, but in his speech at this meeting, has aimed to advance his own interest almost en- tirely by uttering sweeping slanders against high-minded and honorable gentlemen, whose “corn” he has thus essayed to measure in his own bushel—crediting them with being actuated by such principles and motives as have so long notoriously actuated him and all the rest of his class,who have rendered the local politics of New York so corrupt and disgusting as almost to make honest men flee their country at thought of them. Ie came to Congress with innumer- able axes to grind in the way of obtaining Plundering jobs from the National Treasury, such as he had so long dealt in in connection with the affairs of the corporation of New York, and also in the way of getting small places under the Federal Government there, for his immediate friends and associates, who, for sal- aries in prospective, hesitated not to do their best to pollute the Congress of the United States with the presence of one of themselves. But his measure had been securately taken by the Executive braneh of the Government. He found his game blocked. For months be- fore he broke ground against the Kansas policy of the Democratic party and the National Ad- ministration, it was as well known to every tyro around W ashington that his support of that policy could be had ‘for a consideration,”’ as it has been notorious ever since he commenced to fullow the trade of a broker in New York city municipal affairs—polities, jobs, contracts, &c.,—that he was of the class of politicians whese only parallel is to be sought in the class of witnesses hanging around the Toombs, known as the men, each, with ‘‘a straw in his bat.” The consideration of his support was not re- garded as an equivalent for the utter prostitu- tion of the patronage of the Government, and the entire disregard of the principles of com- mon honesty and fidelity to their trust, that would have been involved in yielding to the persistent and impertinent demands of Mr. Jobn B. Haskin aforesaid. Su, failing to find those he was elected to sup- port willing to bribe him to do what it was his daty to do—as he came to Washington to make all he could out of Wis place in Congress—he adopted the only course left open tohim by and through which he might possibly make anything. That is; the Administration hav- ing repulsed his demands, and it being certain that a politician of bischaracter and an individ- ual of his capacity could never hope to be elected twice to Congress by the same party,he turned his cont im the hope of securing his re- election; in the belief that the opposition would pay for the dedication of his capacity a8 # shystering “ striker’ and a wholesale libeller of gentlemen opposed to him, tothe ser- view of their cause, by taking him up as their candidate. The revelations (of the last session) of his agency in plying a Senate committee with Snonymous letters, filled, of course, with such fulsehoods as not even he would venture to write over his signature, and of his agency in the falsification of the record of the special committee of which he was made the ebairman before he had developed his peculiarities, are, doubtless; remembered by all to have been Such as well nigh turned the stomachs of those who believe that the Congress of the United States is not the proper field for the exercise of the sharp practice of the class of individuals known around New York as « Vampires ”’ That he is as thoroughly understood bythe democracy at home as in Congress, is evident in the fact that not a man Claiming the slight- est identity with the Democratic party partici- pated im this meeting to re-nominate him; while the handful of opposition men who did that thing, are all of them ignorant persons who were never before heard of in eonnectién with the affairs of any party. The character ot the meeting, after the remarkable efforts made to gather a large crowd, embraces evi- dence that those of the opposition there who make the least pretensions to respectability, will not touch him with @ forty-foot pole; but will support some one, on whose conduct in connection with public affeirs, they may be able to place some reliance. : P.S.—The Peekskill (N. Y.) papers reaching us this morning contain the following resola- tions passed by the American party of Haskin’s district, which show that that party there know him as well as the Democrats now do : Resoleed That we have no faith in the | torent tations of friendship for us of eign shysters and aes, and, entertain deem it entirely |: be J.

Tun Status oF tax Rescurp Avnican Nu- Groxs.—The following extract from # late bumber of the Charleston Mercury wil afford the Siar’s readers a fair insight into the legal status of the rescued negroes in Chariesten, South Carolina: ' Tux Arp ons —The fal sae ond walk be of interest to our readers, touchii as of the police regulations of the law 1835 for Protection of the State inst the intro@action of ees within her limits. uestion bfeac is whether the law of 1835, excluding them under certain penalties. is to the pi ease of the cargo of the be, brought in at Castle Pinckney in jance With the Usited States law of 1819.

The State law of 1835, however, was made with a full know e and in the faze of the United States law of 1319. We take it, it was made in concar- rence and not as an act of nullification. The specified object of the United States Government, in ard to cargoes of captured slavers, is har- monious with the object of the State in her police law. The negroes are soon to be removed. - therefore, seems not a case where the Sherii would be justitied in seizing the negroes, and we think he has acted wisely in permitting the matter todrop Should the abolitionists seek to use the law of 1819 against us or to molest us by indirection, our proper course can not be doubt- ful. That would be aclear case within the letter and spirit of the law of 1835. Tae Sgason’s Traver.—The stay-at-home public have no idea whatever of the rush of travel this season over the great new South- western railroad route—from Wasbington city, via Alexandria, Richmond, and Lynchburg, Va., Dalton, Ga., and Memphis, Tenn., to New Orleans. Already, it is not uncommon for four hundred passengers to pass over the northern end of the route daily, for some days consecutively, all of whom appear to be equally pleased with the manner in which they are ac- commodated and treated by each and all of the employees of the several railroad companies over whose works they pass. On Friday night last we made one of quite two hundred passengers who passed over the whole or a portion of the route. From the mo- ment of reaching the ferry boat taking this throng to Alexandria, until we left the train, at a point some sixty miles in the interior, everything went on as smoothly as though traveling by day and with a light lead. Not & piece of the three or four wagon loads of baggage was misplaced, nor was a passenger left without an agreeable seat. We mention these facts because the crowd was so unusually large for a night trip from Washington, as on most railroads with a ferry boat connection, to be likely to result in many disagreeable con- tingencies. Great credit is indeed due to the efficiency of the arrangements of the officers of the George Page steamer, and to the Superin- tendent of transportation on the Urange and Alexandria railroad, and to the politeness, in- telligence, even temper and efficiency of the officers and employees of that company, neces- sarily thrown into contact with those who avail themselves of the facilities of the line. A Lerrer rrow Bartixors.— {Correspondence of the Star.) Batimorg, (Mp ,) Sept 6, 1858. Baltimore is now beginning to assume a more business-like appearance than it has bad for some months back. What the reason is, no one can tell. The hotels are all empty, with the excep- tion of Barnum’s ; it has near a hundred arrivals aday. This house has undergone some very im- portant repairs in its interior, tbat will now make it one of the most saperior houses in the Union, and, with such men as Col. Sam. Houston at the head, the most popular. The Colonel always las a smile for his friends,when and where you meet him. The loss of Col. H. to this house would be a most disastrous thing for the proprietors. Much trouble is anticipated bere in the coming fall election for the tra Sling There a great many of the present Mayor's friends most desi- Tous of bis serving them another term. Yester- day, I learn, he most positively declined Maj A. Shuck is highly spoken of as Mayor swann’s successor. ‘The City Council meet to-day, after a recess of some months. They have ordered the portraits of their late Mayors, including the present one, to be painted. The popular and celebrated art- ist, Col. John R Jobnston, of Baltimore, bas the commission, and bas executed six most perfect specimens of living and speaking portraits Thin artist has the happiest faculty of portraying to canvass the most perfect portraits of the pres- ent day. The politics of Baltimore city are at a low ebb at present. When rowdies are arrested. straw bail is taken aud they go unwhipped, and justice is not satisfied. Edwin Booth bas just closed a most snecessful engagement at the Holiday street Theatre. ‘To- night the Florences appear. Next Monday the celebration of the 13th of September will be kept in grand style. be mai r of the theatre, Mr. John T. Ford, bas kindly given the use of the theatre fora day performance, the Habe of which are to yo towards the building of a monument to Welis and McComas, two young men who: lost their lives in trying to defend the city of Baltimore A great bill is to be presented, and Col. Joun R. Johnston.is to sing a patriotic song, written for the occasion by Prof. John Hewett. The rowdies still continue their practice of shooting down strangers and fighting generally. It is to be hoped soon that the administration will change for better or worse. K _— Tur Paraguay Exprvirion,—The New York Ezpress says that the revenue cutter Harrict Lane will be ready for sea on Friday. The officers of the Fulton, now at Washington, are ordered to report by the 20th of this month. The San Jacinto is spoken of as going to Para- guay, but she draws too much water to pass Montevideo or Buenos Ayres. The Memphis and Caledonia, of Cromwell's ling, are to go. The fleet will consist of thirteen sail, exclusive of the Brazil squadron. Should the expedition be delayed until all the vessels are ready, it cannot be got off in less than a month. We may also add in this connection, that it is said that Judge James B. Bowlin, of Mis- souri, has been tendered the mission to Para- guay, and it is confidently believed that he will aedept it. Several other gentlemen had been favorably named forthe position, but he had the superior advantage of prominence of Political position, in addition to his fitness for the important station. He waa United States Minister to Bogota under the last Administra- tion. It appears to be a settled point, as we are informed at the Department to-day, that the vessels of the fleet will leave for.their destina- tion as they are respectively got ready; and not be detained in order that the whole flect may sail at one time. Operations, however, will not be commeneed until they arrive at a place of rendezvous yet to be designated; and which will probably be in or near the mouth of the Paraguay river. Tux Caprured Araican Cango.—We learn that the American Colonization Society has proposed to the Government to take care of the captured Africans on their arrival at Li- beria and subsist them for one year far $50,000; and, in the meantime, send them to school, and teach them how by industrial pursgits to sup- port themselves after the expiration of that period. The Secretary of the Interior will forthwith authorise the purchase of necessary clothing and blankets to make these captives comfortable during their return voyage to their homes. - Tax Proposars ror Steam Excregs, &c.— To-day is, the last day for receiving, at the Navy Department, proposals for contracts fur building engines and machinery, for the eight: steamers authorixéd to be built by tho act of June 12, 1858.

The Board, jer the order at the gen- eral meeting of the Stockholders, on the 224 day of July, bave effected an ar ment with the County Court of Clarke County, for the payment of theitsubseription of $100,400 to the stock of this Company. The actiou of this county, we bope will induce the county of Loudoun to make ssimilar subscription of $100,000 at the proper time. The loss ern sree ja Loudoun the present season, makes us unwilling to the mater at the present moment, but it will be done soon. ‘The Corporation of Leesburg bave under con- sideration a subscription to our stock, and we ave reason to hope that their action will be fa- vorable.

The-engineer’s report, which was next read, says: ‘Taking a general view of the present condition of the work lying between Alexandriaand Clark’ Gap, it may be said that the graduation and ma- soury, except at a few insulated points, is virtu- vy done. These exceptional Points consist of ¢ Masonry and a part of the graduation at va- tious points. Bridges are under construction, rails are resdy, and altogether the work is so for- ward that no obstacles of a physical nature are Ikely to prevent the completion of this portion Of the road, and its opening for public use, from a to Clark's Gap, by the Ist of July, The examining committee re the books nee kept, and the line of rod in excellent cone ition.
