a _ EVENING STAR. eee WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY....... «eeee. October 20, 1868. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union comments. upon the following “basis principle’’ of fusion promulgated by the New York Tribune: “If Americans in any district secept a Repub- lican for Congress, or R jeans accept an American, they have a right to a choice of men.” Further, the Unson notices a quibble by which the Richmond Euqvirer attempts to make void the Dred Scott decision. The Union, also, undér the caption ‘‘ For- ‘eign vote,” speaks as follows : «Phe most noticeable feature of the elections so far is this: that a large class of naturalized citizens have gone over with the Americans to the Repabiicans. We are not fully advised of the extent of the aid which our naturalized brethren bave rendered to the opposition, how far they have deserted the Democratic party; but this much we can say, that, if they find friends amongst those who recently proscribed them, they will accomplish more than we think they will. It is certainly a strange phenomenon to see foreigners voting with the Know Nothings.”* The Intelligencer believes it is now allowed by the common consent of all parties, in all the States were it has been tried, that the system of an “elective Judiciary” is fast sinking into popular odium and contempt from which not even the surviving dignity and integrity of its official incumbents are sufficient to retrieve it.

U> An lowa paper estimates the quantity of Chinese sugar cane grown in the western part of that State this year, as sufficient to make a mil- lion gallons of syrup. i> Later Mexican news confi: m the report of a battle between Miramon and Vidaurri. lt was fought near Ahualusco, and {s said to have lasted four days. Vidaurri, although reported to be badly defeated, was at Monterey making prepara- tions for another attack on Mirany Post Orvick Botronxs.—The Boston Tran- script has seen some beautiful buttons of unique design, intended for the use of the officers and clerks of the Post Odice Department. They are from dies designed by Mr. Hassan and have been adopted by all the persons connected with the Boston Post Office. Though but recently in- troduced the manufacturer has received orders for them from persons connected with the De- partment throughont the country. UP The Commissioners appointed by the Gov- ernment of Venezuela to recall General Paez, were publicly received by the city authorities of New York on Monday. Signor Rojas, President of the Delegation, made a speech, in which he thanked theauthorities of New York for their treatment of General Paez during his exile, and Mayor Tiemann made an appropriat response The exercises were very brief, and at their close, the audience, which was quite large, quietly dispersed. Issexction € a .—In tue U.S, Cirenit Court at Cincinnati, Judge McLean presiding, on an application filed by Henry Stanbary, aitor ney for Bell & Grant, of London, and Mapsen & Nesmith and other creditors of the Obio Life and Trust Company, (representing claims to the amount of $700,000,) an injunction was granted against the assignees of said company, restraining them from disposing of the property of the com- Pany under their control. An application forthe appointment of a receiver, before the Supreme Court, bas been granted, and the sheriff of Ham- ilton county has been appointed receiver. 7 Ia New York, on Sunday evening, at about eight o’clock, a Frenchman, named Lewis Ber- niers, entered the Trinity Metuodist Episcopal Church, and took a seat ina front pew. In afew minutes he drewa revolver, and pointing it at the pastor, Rev. M. D.C. Crawford, discharged one of the barrels. The ball passed close by his head, on the left, striking the wall ofthe pulpit behind him. The congregation was in a great excitement. The man was seized, and handed over to the police of the Twentieth ward. On his way to the station-house he told the officers that Mr. Crawford had insutted him in his morn- ingsermon. He is evidently insane. patthenslissithtonms decemen OP We have additional advices trom Buenos Ayres, dated on the Ist of September. The Com mercial Times says :—Senor Lovarello recently left Buenos Ayres with the intention of exploring the upper Parana river. It !s his intention to en- deavor to establish amicable relations with any tribes of Indians be may meet. The boat in which be will voyage is now building for him in Santa Fe. The keel is twenty-two yards in length, and he will have thirty oars to enable her toovercome the strong currents she will meet with in ascending the Parana. The United States will, ere long, be represented in Rosario by Mr. Upton as Vice Consul Civitization.—It is many years since the swell mob, ia this part of the country, were so intensely agitated as they now are. owing to the much talked of pugilistic set-to between Jobn Morrissey and the ‘Benicia Boy,’’ ap- Pointed to come off to-day between the bours of twelve and two, on the Canadian shore, some eighty miles from Buffalo. The fight is for $2,500 aside, —and it is estimated that at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the shape of bets, will change hands upon the result. Notorious sporting characters from Havana, New Orleans, California and ail the large Northern citles are at Buffaio. Both Morrissey and Hee- man are reported t> be in excellent health and spirits and -‘eager for the fray.”’ Afight came off yesterday at Point Albino, be- tween two of the lesser lights of the pugilistic frateruity. Scotty, of Brooklyn, and Barney Asroa. It rewlted in a victory to Scotty. From Axizona —By private advices received bere from Arizona, dated Sept. z=th, it is ascer- tained that the Sonora silver mining company has began shipping silver from Tubac to San Francisco at the rate of about 1,000 ounces per week. This will be largely increased when the amalgamation works are finished. Several other mines are well opened and smelting has been commenced with large returns. The Apaches were about making a great expedition into S:- nota, and the Mexicans were preparing a large army to resist them. Peschlera’s power is fully established Im Sonora, Gandara, the leader of the late rebellion being entirely deserted by bis friends. Another of the overland mail party, named Laing, attacked at Dragoon Springs, is dead. The proceedings of the Rio Grande Conven- tion, asking for a separate territorial organiza- tion of Arizona,have been unanimously endorsed by the southern portion of the ‘Territory at amaxs meeting at Tuesan No representative or senator was voted for 1 Arizona for the New Mexico ete Oa the 20th of Sept. Lieut. Mowry was re-elected a Delegate to Congress by about 3,000 votes. The American vote is largely increased since last year. Lieut.

Guancy Joxes.—The ph told us, yesterday, that the appoin' of U. B. Minister to Austria has been tendered to the Hon. J. Glancy Jones, of Pennsylvania We see no reason, whatever, to doubt the fact; in- asmuch as that no other member ofthe present: House of Representatives has stronger or more legitimate claims upon the Democratic party. For adherence to its principles, its policy and its measures, he has been borne to the ground at home, under the accumulated weight of iron, disappointment about office, and the anti-Dem- ocratic anti-slavery sentiment so powerful everywhere at the North. He fell fighting gallantly and fearlessly, straggling hand to hand with the combined enemies of the De- mocracy.. Though his shield was emblazoned with “The rights of the South under the guaran- tees of the Constitution,’’ the most deadly weap- ons hurled at him in this memorable contest were the speeches and articles of erratic and unreliable or over-ambitious Southern men and newspapers, proclaiming that in his manful de- fence of the policy of the Democratic party last winter, he did a grievous wrong; insomuch as in so doing he opposed Mr. Stephen Arnold Douglas, who they declare to be entitled to Southern confidence and support. He fell a victim to Southern weapons, aimed at him in defence of the traitor Douglas. Such is the explanation of his defeat; and the masses of the South who make and unmake Southern public men, and have never yet failed to hold them to strict accountability, should at once comprehend to whom they are indebted for the defeat of their most fearless and energetic Northern friends (Glancy Jones of Pa., and Hughes of Indiana,) in the House of Repre- sentatives. But, apropos of the political future of Mr. Jones. Though it is highly probable that the President promptly notified him that there was nothing that he, as the organ of the true and faithfal Democrasy could do for him, which he would not gladly do, we regard it as qu able whether he will not prefer to remain at home and attend to the vindication of the in- tegrity of the Democratic party in his own dis- trict and State, where the labors of Democrats of his emphasis of character and experience in public affairs are needed. Though the fact that he may attribute the success of factionists at home in defeating him to the aid and comfort they received in that work from Southern men on whom no reliance can reasonably be placed by anybody, is sufficient to dampen the ardor of most men in any political cause, yet we know J. Glancy Jones well enough to justity us in proclaiming that his democratic labors will not be remitted for an instant under the discour- azing influence of the recent election in his State aud district. The prompt manner in which the President is understood to have ten- dered to him the Austrian mission, fairly illus- trates the depth of the indignation of the Dem- ocratic party, everywhere, that such a Demo- cratic statesman as himself should be tempora- rily sacrificed by the assistance of men and newspapers professing sympathy for the cause of constitutional rights of the South. Tae Morate or New York Pouitics.— Some days ago we published trom a New York paper a bargain made two years in advance, by the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, to transfer to the Hon. Hiram Walbridge, at the approaching New York election, the votes of the Democrats of the Congressional trict now represented by the party of the first part aforesaid. Had it been a bill of sale for the bodies and fleeces o! so many mangey sheep, it could not have been conceived, worded and concluded in a more businese-like way. Mr. Sickles, when the pinch came, flew from the bargain, as we stated on publishing our first account of the matter. He hag subsequently essayed to justify his act of repudiating it in a letter published in the New York Times, and addressed to (eneral Walbridge, in which he says: “The memorandum made by Mr our conference, and agreement on October 2 1956, was a ‘private memorandum.” Your pres- ent claim rests upon it. To make it known was to render its fulfilment, as far as this involved your nemination in another district, through my instrumentality, impracticable. Desiring in good faith to perform my part of the compact, and appreciating the importance of this complete reserve, I have never shown Mr. Brega’s memo- randum, or mentioned its purport, even to my most intimate friends. But you have discloied its contents to many persons, and therefore you have placed insuperatée practical obstacles ia the way of obtaining for you a nomination in another district. These obstacles are so apparent to all persons familiar with party movements, that I need not enumerate them to you. “« The breach of confidence (I sae of it only as an act of indiscretion) by you in giving gen- eral publicity to Mr. Brega’s ‘‘ private memo- tandum” of our conference, would of itself de- prive you of any claim upon me, based upona stipulation you had already violated.’’ Those knowing our oft-expressed opinion of New York city politics need hardly be assured that we entertain no better opinion of Mr. Sickles’ reasons for failing to abide his contract, than of the contract itself. Both alike illus- trate the necessity for a radical change in New York political affairs, if the American public would have New York city really fit for self- government; as it by no means is at the present writing, if this affair and its result is a fair illustration of the political moral of its com- munity. P. S.—The following note from the custodian of the precious contract referred to above, ad- dressed to Gen. Walbridge, has just appeared in the papers: Brega, of Naw Yorx, Sept. 29, 1958 Dear sir: In is to yours of this date, ask- ing my understanding of the term ‘private mem- orandum” attached to the agreement entered into between yourself and Mr. Sickles onthe 27th Oc- tober, 1456, and drawn up by me, I beg leave to state that the heading ‘private memorandum’? was written after the paper bad received the sig- natures of yourself and Mr. Sickles, but in your presence ; that | understood it was simply show ing that it was not intended the agreement should in terms be made public during that canvass and so stated to Mr. Sickles and yourself at the time, in consequence of a remark made by Mr. Sickles, to the effect that its publication would embarrass him. The wording of the paper is sufficient to show that it was intended as a matter of refer- ence In case any misunderstanding should after- wards arise as to the agreement then entered into. Yours, truly, Gro. H. Breca. A Move mw tue Rigat Directiox.—On Monday night Jast a bill was introduced into the lower board of the Washington City Coun- cils for the establishment of an apprentices’ night school for four months. This is an in- stitation much needed here—far more needed than a High School. There are thousands of youth among us, who being employed stead- ily im the day time at labor, must neces- sarily depend on night schools for all the edu- cation from books they con obtain. A due proportion of them would gladly avail them- selves of such facilities as a properly conduct- ed publie night school will afford It will also be the means of keeping out of the streets hun- dreds of viciously inclined youths whose pa- rents or guardians will compel them to attend. On the whole, we know not when a more truly beneficial project, so far as the future of this community is concerned, was started. L Tue bara New Yorx anp Evropran TEAMSHIP PANY. —This company, that not long since esputched the Hermann te the Pa- cific side with some seven bundred Passengers aboard, is just now the subject of much news- paper comment in New York city, owing to the apparent failure of its arrangements for the purebase of the steamships Washington, Atlan- tie and Baltic, advertised by it. to take their Places on ith line.

Important To Postwasters,—We have been requested to call the attention of Postmasters to the necessity of effectually cancelling the postage stamps on all letters mailed at their respective offices. Neglect of this duty has become very general; and the trouble it ocea- sions, and the numberless petty frauds to which it leads, have given to the evil a very serious character.
