< a Shiite See —_- _ EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY.... «+ October 13, 1858, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in view of yesterday’s elections, reproduces the returns of the Congressional elections of 1854, as bearing the same relation to the Presidential contest of 1956 that the elec- tions of yesterday do to the Presidential con- test of 186¢. The following sums up the result im 1854: * nae OPE; 1 ja members returned were. ' “one” gent “ao @o Oo" at Indiana do do oOo i New York do do 5 8 New Jersey do do | 4 **This result [conttnnes the Union| greatly as- tonished and alarmed the Democratic party, who believed in the justice and propriety of the re- 1 of the Missouri Compromise and of the anses-Nebraska act. ‘Two years before we had returned twelve members from Obio, twenty- three from New York, four from New Jersey, sixteen from Pennsylvania, ten from Indiana,and four from Michigan. Wi nt these figures to show the extent of our dixasters in the contest of 1554, when we received the combined weight of the opposition against us That we were so ignominiously defeated, under en entire misap- prehension of our true position, there was no sbadow of doubt among our friends. We there- fore yielded nothing, but boidly vindicated our principles and policy, and, at the elections of 1955, redeemed Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Indiana, and made large gains in all the northern and southern States “« Yesterday we again enconntered the enemy in Pennsylvania, — and ee Bear 4 causes bave rat this ir, em ally in these Srates, te distract and Niviae ty friends. But, in spite of our divisions, our aceounts must be a great improvement on the results of 1854.” The Unron, also, replies to the New York Commercial on the Kansas matter, and dis- cusses the “Water Question.” The Unron, also, publishes a most interest- ing and able letter from the pen of Senator Gwin, congratulating the President upon the success of the project for an overland mail between the Atlantic States and California. Written with the ease and grace for which the distinguished Senator is noted, yet so pointed that not a line is superfluous and every word tells, it is a fitting missive to announce to the Chief Magistrate of the Union that “from this time forth forever regular overland communi- cations will exist between California and the Mississippi States.”’ The Intelligencer, speaking for practical legislation, says: ** No party can expect to live on the of its past exploits, still less on the imagination that its perpetuation in office is indis) sable to the stability of the Confederacy. Neither the prestige of the past, nor the solemn adjurations of the future, cam retrieve in the popular judg- ment the want of useful activity in the Present; and if the Democracy do not meet this demand they have neither right nor claim to the tenure of that power which they hold at the wiil of the Peopile.”” {[7~ Joe Shillington sends us Chambers’ Jour” nal for September. Tas Water Pirs Contracts.—The contrat entered into by Capt. Meigs, saperintendent of the Washington water-works, with the Warren Foundry of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, is for sixteen hundred tons of water-pipe. ‘Tur Curxa Treaty —The British treaty with China has been published. It contains fifty-six articles, but the main points of it are already known. The Emperor agrees to pay England two millions of taels as indemnity for her losses at Canton, and two millions more on account of expenses of the war. English troops are to hold Canton as security for the cash. It appears tbat China will have to pay either in the shape of indemnities to neutrals who have lost prop- erty, or tothe Powers actually engaged in the war, for military and naval expenses and com- mercial losses, the following sums in United States currency: To England... ‘To France. ... ‘To the United States.

Tax Carrors oF Osczona.—This morning's Intelligencer contains very i on this subject from the pen of Jesup, which we shall r Ser; taviag some thr \ 5 At too \ hour to enable us, to’ it before the Star’s reader’s téay. Tax Sourn’s Duty ro IrseLr.—A corres- Ppondent, evidently bitten with the Douglas mania.writes us, in effect urging that the South will overlook the course of Senator Douglas last winter, his more‘ resent denunciation of the Democracy of Congress and the National Ad- ministration for the perpetration of what hé ealls the great fraud of the age upon popular rights, his praises heaped at the same time on the Republican party as the patriot friends of civil liberty in that contest, and his still more recent utter repudiation of the Dred Scott de- cision wherein that is a shield of Southern rights under the Constitution; in doing which, he virtually justified, and proclaimed to be legal, the action of Republican-party State Legislatures to nullify the Fugitive Slave law. We cannot sympathize in our correspondent’s wishes. = For the South to regard Stephen Arnold Douglas as entitled to its confidence or sym- pathy in his present personal contest, wherein he has seduced the Democracy of Illinois into & position of hostility to that of the great Dem- ocratic party of the nation upon the important (slavery) question of the times, will be for the South to proclaim that nothing can rightfully operate to deprive recroant Democrats who once were true to the faith, of Southern confidence, if they are clever fellows in a social way. ‘Those of the South who now embrace Stephen Arnold Douglas have no right to refuse to hail John B. Haskin with acclamation. Do they not really stand on identically the same plat- form, though Douglas now cunningly rofrains from the dangerous experiment of vaunting that fact, as he was wont to do Inst winter when hoping for Republican party sapport in his present contest? What right have they—such persons in the South—to claim not to be in fellowship, also, with Broderick, the head and front of Douglas- ism in California—the foul-mouthed denouncer of the South and the National Administration in the Senate of the United States? Or, again, ean they, folding Douglas in their arms, de- cently refuse their embraces to his representa- tive in Pennsylvania—Forney. Forney, so far as the slavery question is concerned, is simply acting out the last winter's policy of his fugle- man—Douglas; a policy which the latter reaf- firmed as his in his first Chicago speech of the current Illinois contest, however convenient it may be for him to pretend to have abandoned it, now that the Republicans of Illinois refuse to trust bim. What Forney says in the way of personal abuse and misrepresentation of the President, the members of the Cabinet, and all others who stood last winter in the way of the triumph of the plots of Douglas, Seward, Wade, Wilson, &c., against the rights of the South and the ascendancy of the Democratic party, ia noto- riously borrowed from the private counsels and sentiments of Douglas, however inconvenient it may be for him to proclaim the fact just now. Does any well-informed man doubt it? We care not what nominal Southern leaders may stand by Douglas—the public may rest assured that they will be leaders of the De- mocracy of the South but little longer, unless they speedily cease to give aid and counte- nance to Haskin, Forney, Broderick, Douglas & Co.—the captain, mate, cook and crew of the cock boat of which ex-Senator Fvote has seized helm. Tue Water Piegs.—We mentioned, a day or two ago, that the contract with Lawrence Myers, of Philadelphia, for water pipes for the supply of water to this city had been forfeited, because of a failure on the part of the con- tractor to deliver them at the time appointed. Our paragraph has been made the basis for the following unwarrantable and untruthful re- marks by the Baltimore Patriot : “* We learn from the Washington Star of yes- terday, that such bax been the outside pressure upon the Cabinet at Washington that they bave been compelied to annul the contract with Law- rence Myers, of Philadelphia, and that it will again be thrown into market. ‘This nice job which was intended to place in the pockets of Democratic politicians, Owen Jonex & Co, some $0,000 for the purpose of carrying the election in Pennsylvania, has most fortunately ended in a complete failure. “ This ix doubtless a most xed disappointment to Mr. Buchanan and iis retainers, and but for the overwhelming indignation of the people, the scheme would bave been fully cousumated. It is our honest conviction that Mr. Myers never intended, nor did the government expect the dz- livery of tke iron pipes by the Ist of October. * ted the contract been given to our own man- ufactories, the pipes would have been delivered and laid before the frosts of winter should bave set in, but now the probability is the work will have to be delayed until the coming spring.”” It would be difficult to crowd more silliness in so small a space as the above extract occupies. In our article we said nothing about ‘outside pressure,’’ but stated distinctly that the for- feiture was in consequence of a failure to com- ply with the terms of the contract. That ‘Mr. Buchanan and his retainers’’ were sadly dis- appointed is a queer inference to be drawn from the premises, when it is remembered that the time for the fulfillment of the contract was the Ist of October, and that the forfeiture took Place in a very few days thereafter. Truly, this seems as though the Administration was in a great hurry to be ‘‘sadly disappointed.’ How this contract was to have placed ‘some $50.000"’ in the pockets of Owen Jones & Co., is a result arrived at by some process of figur- ing peculiar to the genius of the Patriot whose Powers of arithmetical calculation some weeks ago enabled him to crowd “over thirty years” in the space which has intervened since the close of the administration of General Jackson, (vide his articles on the “Humbugs of Democ- racy.’’) As for the Patrzot’s closing assertion that if the contract has been awarded to “our own manufacturers,”’ &c., that falls to the ground, when the fact is known, to wit :-—That the law made it incumbent on the Superintendent to award the contract to the party who should Propose to deliver the pipes at the earliest day at a reasonable price. This provision, and this alone, was the reason why Myers’s propo- sal was accepted ; as there were other bidders whose charges were less, but they required acon- siderably longer time for the fulfilment of the contracts. The law did not specify that the pipes should be of American iron, or be made in this country, and hence the Superintendent had no right to reject a bid on that pretext, if he had been aware of the intention of the bid- ders to procure the pipes from abroad. But he disavows all knowledge of any such intention on the part of Mr. Myers, and we believe his disavowal. The following remarks apropo of the subject, we take from the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian : “Ac of the tron mastets baving pre- conspiracy vented the contractor from filling his sy per ment to deliver the thirty-inw! of October, we are po sy ees eles which the Government wiii be sippl othe pret the conduct of certaia to yet the contract at some oo the moe eens the ryrmeee any on the work, thong’ ered price whieh would afford them a targe poses to doso. This would have enabled them to yive employment to hundreds of men, but they bose u blame upon the want of a tariff. We ‘walt for — aa which our own makers will suppiy refused to FD Pe SEE Hae Tus Cass-Intsarrt Treaty.—We have every reason to believe that the party receiv- something in the neighborhood of half a lion of dollars perannum bonus, for keeping ut of the use of the Nica” ragu Bus rdate, is at the bottom of the efforts of 7 z, the supplemental Nica- Paguan Minister, to avoid the return of the Cass- Irisarri treaty, unmutilated by Martinez. We refer to Vanderbilt, whose man with an unenviable personal reputation, Webster, is constantly at Dr. Jeres’s elbow, as on yester- day, on Pennsylvania avenue. It seems to us that Vanderbilt, (through Webster) and Jeres, ‘thongh agreeing to play wshuttle-cock game against the public interest of thiscountry, to defeat the opening of the Nicaraguan isthmus under American auspices to American travel, are playing a cut-throat game as against each other. Vanderbilt plays to keep the route en- tirely closed; while Dr. Jerez plays to keep it closed to American interests for the benefit of the Belly moonshine speculation, in which he is well knewn to be personally interested. The moment the Cass-lrisarri treaty is returned to this Government unmutilated, the schemes of these plotters are exploded; as Vanderbilt will lose his heavy annual subsidy referred to above; and Belly’s speculation will then be as worthless on paper as in reality. That is to say, the isthmus of Nicaragaa will then be open to the travel of the world under the joint guarantee of the United States and Nicaragua, with all desirable privileges common to all who choose to avail themselves of them. Even without the return of the treaty as ex- plained above, a single month will find the Nicaraguan isthmus being regularly used by travelers. Nevertheless, to give the route en- tire security in the public estimation—and until that is achieved the timid will not avail themselves of its remarkable advantages—it is absolutely necessary that the world should comprehend that the safety of their lives and property when using it are guaranteed by tho power and will of the United States. It is high time that American public interests had ceased to be at the mercy of such uncivilizeod— practically—parties, as Martinez & Co. on the one hand, and such desperate steamship specu- lators as Mr. Vanderbilt on the other, who in conspiring together to keep the Nicaraguan route a sealed book to the business world, are playing a game that will soon be brought to an end ‘with a round turn,”’ or we greatly mis- take the emphasis of this Government in carry- ing out its long since avowed Central American policy. Docvwents.—We are informed that the Pres- ident has commenced the preparation of his annual message to Congress, and it is said that he repeats the recommendation he made last year touching the Paraguayan difficulties, and applies it to the Central Ameritan republics. The Secrotaries are also getting up the annual statements of their respective Departments These will generally be far more interesting than usual, inasmuch as the current year has been peculiarly prolific of important subjects connected with governmental affairs. There will be the increased postal service, the difficul- ties attending the trans-Atlantic mail, and the practical effect of the overland mail to Califor- nia, claiming attention from the Postmaster General. The Secretary of the Interior will, no doubt, have various suggestions to make re- specting the disposal of the public lands, the settlement of the extensive and annoying diffi- culties with the Indian tribes, &c., together with interesting statements respecting public grounds and buildings in this city, the Patent Office affairs, &c. The tariff and matters con- nected with it will, no doubt, be thoroughly considered by the Secretary of the Treasury, who is said to have in course of preparation a comparative statement of imports under the present and former tariffs. This has already progressed so far as to show that importations have fallen off under the present tariff, in con- sequence of the late financial revulsion, about seventy-five millions of dollars, from which a revenue of fifteen millions would have accrued, had there been no reduction. This loss, added to the revenue received from the present tariff, would, it is thought, have been sufficient to de- fray the current expenses of the Government. This statement will cost a great deal of unusual labor on the part of the clerks in the Kegister’s office. From the State and Navy Departments we may expect interesting documents growing out of the events of the year, which have recently transpired, or are about ocourring, and which have attracted su large a sharo of public atten- tion as to make their enumeration unnoces- sary. The War Department will have the Mormon and Indian wars to treat of, and about these topics a great deal of very interesting matter will, no doubt, be farnished for the consideration of Congress. “Artesian WeLs.’’—Captain Humphreys, of the Bureau of Exploration and Survey of the War Department, has received official intelli- gence from Capt. Pope, confirming the account we gave yesterday of his expedition. Capt. Pope states that the sinking of a well any- where on the Llano Estacado will be attended with great labor and expense, on account of the loose character of the carth to an immense depth, and the acidulous nature of the waters of the Pecos, which almost prevent the applica- tion of steam-power, because of the incrusta- tion formed in the boilers, at the same time that they corrode and destroy the iron of the machinery. He thought it imprudent to ex- pend more of the appropriation in that vicinity at present, and hence concluded to change his Place of operation to a point nearer the Rio Grande. He does not admit that the sinking of wells on the plains is impracticablo with bet- ter machinery and larger tubing than that he has with him, but the expense of obtaining and conveying to the scene of operations the neces- sary pipes and machinery will not be justified by the unexpended portion of the fund, inas- much as there would be nothing left for sink- ing wells at other points where they are equal- ly necessary. Ixpian Arrairs.—The Bureau of Indian Affairs is in receipt of a letter from Thomas T Hawkins, Esq., dated at Fort Smith, Arkansas, Sept. 24th, in which that gentleman speaks of his journey to that point, en route to attend to the investigation of certain charges made against Mr. Neighbors, the Supervising Agent of Indian Affairs at San Antonio. The inves- tigation is appointed to take place at Camp Cooper, Texas, at which place Mr. Neighbors is invited to be present during the examination of witnesses, 4c. Mr. Hawkins went to Mem- phis, intending to take passage thence to Fort Smith in the coaches of the California Overland Mail Company, but was unable to do so be- cause the badness of the road prevented the company from carrying passengers from that point. He, therefore, traveled by steamboat to Napoleon, and thence to Des Arc, where he took the company’s coaches for Fort Smith. From the latter place to Camp Scott he ir- tended to proceed by an extra coach kindly furnished him by the company. Tus Opera.—The opera troupe to perform in this city next week, is certainly the most complete, in all its parts, that has so far ap- peared before an American pnblic. Madame Gassier, on recently singing for the first time before an American audience in New York, at once took rank as perhaps the very first opera singermow in America. She is Spanish ; pos- sesses an attractive face and figure, is a fine 2S RENT 6 CER R oT actress, and as a vocalist, carries away all hearts; the Herald, News, and Sunday Mer- cury—whose criticisms of her rendition of the roleof Amina we have us.) ) Miss Philips are known to oy the Federal Metropolis walks. As for Miss. we ‘not hesitste to pronounce her the first Amer- ican-born opera singer that hasso far appeared ‘upon an American stage. Her rendition of the gipsey mother, in Trovatore, which a thousand around us will remember, justifies us in pro- nouncing this judgment upon her artistic mer- its. ‘The male singers of the troupe are un- known to us, except through the pens of critics, which speak of them in scarcely less enthusi- astic terms then of the Isdies. Stefani and Sbgrilia, the tenors, have created scarcely en- thusiaem nmong the Northern dilletanti than Madam Gassier. Ardavani is a remarkably fine buffo, while Senor Gassier is admitted to be the best Figaro now on the stage in either continent. They open with ‘The Barber,’’ we under- stand ; and with sueb a cast as can be arranged with this double troupe—Mad Gassier, as Ro- sina; Gassier, as Figaro; Gasparoni, as Bar- tol rdavani, as Don Basilio; and with Mad. Gassier’s introduction of ‘The Last Rose of Summer,’ in the music lesson scene—which has been received with such a furore of ap- plause in New York, it 1s not to ‘be doubted that their brief season here will be inaugurated with a triumph such as has heretofore been un- known among us, as susceptible to musical in- fluences at the population of Washington is: proverbially. Tus Evection Rerurss recoived up to the hour at which we go to press this afternoon are too fragmentary to permit us to comment with proper explanations on the results, most of which are really yet as unknown here as yes- torday morning. First election reports by telegraph are well known to be little more than guesses; or, in other words, as condensed transcripts of the wishes of their authors, who in nine cases out of ten of course wish the de- feat of the Democracy. By to-morrow after- noon we will be able to single out many of the killed, wounded, or victorious. Hardly until then with any degree of certainty, which will Permit-us to vouch for the correctness of our Opinions in the premises. Szcretary Cass.—This gentleman was at the State Department a short time yesterday, notwithstanding his indisposition, in order, it is said, to have an interview with Dr. Jerez, according to an appointment. The latter, how- ever, is said to have sent an apology that he was lame, and unable to be present. One of the conditions on which Dr. J. was received by this Government is said to have been his promise that he would return the Cass-[risarri treaty, as ratified by the Constituent Assem- bly, without amendment. It is further said that he has denied giving this promise, to sev- eral gentlemen ; and we should not be sur- prised if, at his next interview with the Secre- tary. he is informed that he will not be permit- ted longer to delay compliance with his promise, if he wishes to continue his relations with this Government. Intinors Centrat RaitRoaD,—The Chicago Prsss of the 6th instant says that the suit of Geo. C. Bates vs. the Illinois Central Railroad Company, in the U.S. Circuit Court of that eity, terminated on the preceding day, with a verdict in favor of the railroad company. This suit involved property variously estimated at from one and a half to two millions of dollars, comprising almost the entire depot grounds of the company on the lake shore at the mouth of the river ; and based on a slumbering, and as was generally believed extinct title, to a spit of land which, by the opening of the straight channel of the river, some twenty five years since, was thrown from the north into the south division, and aftewards extinguished by the action of the waters of the lake. Anny InTeLtiaencr.—Capt. Isaac Bowen, of the Commissary Department, died at Pass Christian, Louisiana, on the 4th inst. The telegraph announces that Col. Chapman and Lieut. Burns, of the Sth infantry; Capt. Newton and Lieut. Bryan, of the engineers ; and Licut. Villespogel, of the dragoons, ar- rived at Leavenworth on the 7th inst., from Utah. NavaL Appointwenrs.—Passed Assistant Surgeon Robert T. Maccoun, has been pro- moted to the position of Surgeon in the Navy, vier Dr. Ticknor deceased. James I.

It contains nothing of public in- terest, however. Mivsuiemen.—Besides the list published a few days ago, Messrs. S. W.
