One _EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITyY: TUESDAY...............Nevember 16, 1888, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Uniow notices with pride that the pri- mary meetings of most of the counties in Vir- gimmie, holden in reference to the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, have volunteered the most cordial expressions of approval of the policy and measures of the administration of Mr. Buchanan. Further, the Uion mentions that the New York Trisune has found it necessary to give some explanation to the Illinois Republicans of its sympathy with Judge Douglas in hislate canvass in that State. It also notices that the Barnwell speech of Senator Hammond is ex- ercising 8 powerful influence upon the public tentiment of the North. The Intclligencer is inclined to think that the day has passed when the Democracy can longer hope to thrive by a perpetuation of the present issues. —~———~+s+e-— -— -- (> The official majority for Cooper, Demo- cratic candidate in the ist Congressional District of Michigan, is 76.

Tae Journey across tHe Piains.— We publish, to-day, the last-received favor of our Washington friend whose notes of his journey across the Plains, from Kansas to El Paso, have of late formed so interestimg and agreeable a feature of the Star’s columns. It is as follows: Ex Paso, (Texas,) Oct. 18, 1858. Editor of The Star: I continue my journal, as follows! Saturday, August 28.—We reached La Joyita (pronounced Ho e-ta) at breakfast time. [n sight of the town is a high mound—perhaps 500 feet— oa which Garritson commenced running the base line of the public surveys in this Territory. At 2.30 o'clock the thermometer stood at 92°; but still it is pleasant, and thick clothing is not un- comfortable. We slept to-night in a bottom, with bigh hills on our left We started again at 2 o’clock a.m. for San Pedro, the last place where we can procure provisions to take us through the Journado 1 Muerto, (Jornado,) which, being translated, means the Journey of the Dead Man. Sunday, Aug. 29.—We reached Don Pedro be- fore sunrise, and made purchases of fowls and eggs. This ts another sma!! adobe Mexican town We filled our canteens out of the acaquia, or frri- gated canal, and then went abort ten miles, and took breakfast on the banks of the Rio Grande While at breakfast, some of the wagon road party passed. Antonio Perez, one of the passen- ers, found a rattlesnake, which escaped to bis ole in some mezquit bushes. At eight o’clock this morning, the thermometer was $1°, and at one, 4°; stillthe heat is not oppressive. We passed the ruins of Valvudo, Cafe Vale.) The ruins are merely an old a building, for a sheep or cattle ranche, and &caquia, commenced but never finished. Fort Conrad is on the oppo- site side of the river. The cotton wood on the river is Fetting more abundant. ‘There are some beautiful mesas, or table lands, on our side of the river; the clitfs, orexcarpments, furming them are a dark volcauic rock. We stopped in the bottom of the river, and sent the mail across the river to Fort Craig. ‘The fort is built on an alluv.al de- posit, about fifty feet above the river at its pres- ent stage. The buildings are adobes. We reached & Watering ce on the river in view of Fra Christoval, where we filled all the canteens we had, and those Major Wel!s borrowed in the fort. We remained here a were threatened (Priar Christopber) a or oO of the range of mountains which skirt the Rio Grande for about eighty miles. On our leit ts another range of mountaius, so that the much dreaded jornado is down a valle ‘oin SV to 100 feet above the Rio G aude. Friar Ciristopher, tradition says, died at this place; tence the name, After the moon rose, we went a iew miles further, and stopped, with a view of resuming our travel before day.

We reached this noted place ateleven o'clock, breakfasted, laid in a supply of water, and renewed our travel ‘There is no change in the country or vegetation Sometimes we see the mezquit, the larrea, or creosote plant, the Spanish bayonet, &c. The mountain ranges on both sides of the valley are high and beautiful, especially those on our left At four o’clock we arrived at a hole of water be- Low the Point of Rocks, (towuship 19 south, range Swest) Here we supped, there being enough water for ull our purposes. Renewing our jour- ney, we traveled until fiiteen minutes past eleven o'clock, when we stopped at a bank on the Rio Grande, just below the termination of the mu-b dreaded jornado. It is called the Jornado dei Muerta trom the circums: ¢ of the first person who attempted to cross it ina day died tor the want of water. ‘The Mexicans cail all these long stretches of country between watering places jornados; and the trip has to be made without stopping.

Here a d young man f.om Virginia, wamed Cochran, joi us. Below Fort Fillmore we found a puddis of water, took supper, and went to bed; but we cannot reach El Paso to-night We stopped on a bend of the Rio near the Cotton woods, (Ala- mos.) near eleven o'clock. During the night a coyote, a small prairie wolf, or American jackall, came near our camp and commenced making a noise. Cochran fired bis revulver, which seared him away Wednesday, Sept 1 —We tried to reach El Paso by breakfast, but it is impracticable.

On the top of the mountain, perhaps some toree thousand feet high, there ts another moau ment of some whit- material, which can be seen many miles distant. A few miles more over rough road brings us, at twelve o’clock, to El Paso Thus you have an abridg of my journal, or rather uurried notes, made on ibe journey whiie we were resting or taking our meals. as REGAINING ITs Sexses.—The Richmond Engraver at length shows signs of recovering ita lost senses. Thus, in its issue uf the 11th that journal says : “While Virginia tecognises no power that can compel a Territorial Legislature to enact those laws necessary to protect the constitutional tights of staveboiders, yet she does hold that Congress bas the right. and is in duty bound, to protect slavery inthe Territories, until the people of a territory, when on the eve of forming a Stxt government, may decide the question finally the future State. This question is one above the Platforms of parties, and must he inet cided, constitutionally in favor of prot unconstitutionally against it. It rannotand must not be compromised? This is eminently a sound doctrine, though just the reverse cf that held by its Magnus Apolio of the hour—Stephen Arnold Douglas— who, while pretending to admit the right ot the South to carry her slaves into United States Territories, also proposes that that right shall in all eases be rendered a nullity by the ad- ission of power on the part of equatters—the aries of abolition emigrant aid socicties, who in these times take care to flood United States Territories first with their tuols—to enact such local laws as will prevent all slaveholders from bringing their servants into such common Property of all the States of the Confederacy. When Douglas found that the Republican party of Illinois declined to accept his bid of the last session for its favor, it will be recol- lected, he “backed water’ from some of the abolition positions hé occupied last in Congress in common with M %. Seward, Wade, Wil- son & Co. He, however, kept the promise of that notorious allegiance by inventing his theory of the right of squatters to do that which he says Congress may not do—toexclade slavery by unfriendly legislation from the start from the common property of all the States of the Union. Or, in other words, he invented a doctrine under which it is to be forever impos- sible that another Territory, wherever situated, ean apply for admission into the Union with a slaveholding State constitution. Gloss over this grand end and aim of bis new theory as he may, such it is, neither more nor less. Weare glad to perceive that awakening Southern public opinion upon this subject is so soon operating as the coal of fire on the shell of the Riebmond Exguzrer, to the extent of inducing even that journal to enter a disclaimer of sym pathy with this worst and most dangerous heresy of the times, so far as Southern rights under the Constitution are concerned. Cowrensation or MarsuaLs.—The follow ing is the copy of a letter that Secretary Thompson bas recently sent to the First Comp troller of the Treasury : “The question submitted in your letter of the Ist uit , in respect to the compensation of U. 8. Marshals, whilst endeavoring to arrest persons charged with, or convicted of crime, has been Soe: as requested. “The act of 1853 provides fees for service and travel, in executing process, and for the trans- Portation of prisoners after an arrest is made; and, also, authorizes the payment to Marshals of their expenses whilst endeavoring to make ar- rests, to the extent of two dollars day. “} understood that it has been the practice of your office to allow charges for travel, where attempt bes beea made to execute a writ, as ‘where no arrest was mad: as where it wan; aad, also, the Marshal’s expenses, not ¢: ing $2 per day, only white at the piace the of- vot Bilas ena to be. This is not, in my opinion, so liberal a construction as should be given tetheact referred to. “1 cannot but believe that Congress, in adopt- ing the pertinent clause in that act, intended to teimburse a Marshal his expenses while endeav- oring to arrest, as well in traveling to the place where he to find, or did find, and arrest the offender, us for the time spent in makin areh for such a® offender, at the place whe: be was: else why was it enacted that should be Pa bis expenses, not exceeding tw dollars per in addition to his compensation for ser travel?’ But neither these expenses, nor any part of them, areto be paid asa matter of course. To entitle Ma arshai to reimbursement of them, he should show, by items, how inuch was actually paid by him, to whom paid, when, and for what purpose. Of course, no charge can be made on account of expenses incurred, except during the time he is actually endeavoring to make an ar- rest; and then only for sums actually expended, not exceediag two dollars per day. A Marshal may, however, waive all other charges, if he elects so to do, and charge and receive his actual expenses, upoa exhibiting satisfactory evidence of the payment claimed. But, if he avails him- self of the particular provision of the act author- izing him to do this, his account of expenses should exhibit great particularity in its state. ments, and should be examined by the account- ing officers with great care. “ The foregoing remarks dispose of the particu- lar question presented for consideration; but, as charges for guard service are very similar in their character, I deem it proper to advise you that, in my view, charges for guards employed in the transportation of prisoner: ould not be allowed as of course, nor, jn any unless the necessity for their employment 1 be satisfactori! shown; when, of course, payment, per mile, wifl Le allowed for the travel of as many as are shown to be necessary.*? Mitwavkie Evecrion.—We were yesterday shown a private letter to a gentleman of this city, giving an account of the election of county treasurer in that county on the 9th inst The position is very important and lucrative, and was eagerly sought after. There were origin- ally soven candidates in the field, and it was charged that the nominating conventions were packed and the nominations fraudulently made. A few days before the election, a meet- ing of citizens was held, and each of the can- didates essayed to address them, but were com- pelled to abandon their efforts, because of the loud calls made for Garrett Barry, Esq., who had been urged to accept the nomination, but refused. Finally, Mr. Barry appeared ou the stand, delivered a short specch, and accepted the unanimous nomination of the meeting Three of bis opponents now resigned and lent their influence to the remaining four, but with- out waking any effort to secure such a result, Mr. Barry was elected by a majority of 550 votes over all of his competitors. Mr. Barry is a native of Baltimore, and bus a large circle of friends in that city and in our own commu- nity, although he has resided iu Milwaukie for some fifteen years or more. He is, and always has been, a consistent Democrat, and as such was elected to office, thuugh not the regular nominee of aconvention. ‘he party, it seems, repudiated the action of the conventions in con- sequence of alleged fraud a Army Orpers.—Gen. Scott, under date of the 10th instant, bas issued general ordere, No 22, recapitulating the several combats which have occurred between the Indians and United States troops since the publication of a similar order, numbered fourteen. The present order commences with the fight between Col. Loving’s eommand and the Mogollon Indians at the Canon de los Muertos Carueros, in New Mex- ico, on the 24th of May, 1857, and continues down tothe latest combat, which took place on the Ist of October, ultimo, between Major Van Dorn’s command and the Camanches, at Wa- chita village. The engagements number eigh- teen. The killed and wounded, and the officers engaged in the respective encounters, are all mentioned in the order; and an appropriate testimonial is there borne to their gallantry. Cauirorsia Survers.—The General Land Office is in receipt of the following plats of eur- veys from the Surveyor (eneral of California: Plat of the rancho E! Primeo Canon, on Rio de los Berrendos, finally confirmed toJ. Francis Dye, situated in townships 26 and 27 north of range 2 west, and township 27 north of range 3 west, and bounded on the west by Sacramento river, containing 26,571 acres. Plat of the mission San Antonio, finally con- firmed to Jos. S. Allemany, situated in town- ship 22 couth of range 7 east, and containing 33 acres A patent bas been issued by the General Land Office to Maria Antonia Cazares for the ranch Canada de Pagolimi, containing 5731 acres. A Gross MiskePREseNtation.—Forney, in his Press, of Friday last, pretending to write from this city (over the signature of Occasional) says: “The statement that Mr. Buchanan is ready te make peace with Jndye Douglas is false. He does not intend tt. [ speak of what | know. An Instance in proof of this assertion may be cited Ouly a day or two before the election in Tilinois he removed from tne post office, at Jerseyville,in tbat State, Mr. ©. 38. Jackson, well known tn your city, where he has resided for years, and where he is very respeetably connected. Cause— his atlachment to Dougtas.’* Now, the truth is, the post office at Jersey- ville, M1, is not a prezidential appointment ; and we have also to say that a successor to Mr. Jackson was appointed quite a month ago; not “only a day or two before the Illinois election’ as Forney represents. s NATOR vROM ARKANSAS —A private des- patch has just been received from Memphis, Miss., by a gentleman of this city, in which it is announced that the Hon. Wm. R. Sebastian has been unanimously re-elected to the United States Senate by the Legislature of Arkansas. Mis present term expires on the {th of Marsh next. ArpoixtueNts.—Hon. Mr. Thompson, Sec- retary of the Interior, has appointed Wesley B. Gosnell and John Owens sub-agente for the Iudians of Washington Territory. Onvengp.—Lieut.

The Board, on motion of Mr. Thomas, took a Tecess, and Mr. Sherman made his appearance in the chamber, and stated at some length the ob- jects had in view by the coal compamies in desir- ing the raising of the bridges. After hearing the Judge, the Board was again called to order, and the clerk of the Aldermen laid before the Council an ordinance passed by the Aldermen, authorizing the Canal Company to raise the before mentioned bridges upon the following conditions, viz: The Uanal Company to replace all bridges removed by the erection of others of substantial character: uo material alter- ation to be made in the grade of any of the streets; not more than one bridge shall be removed at any one time; that said bridyes are forever to be kept in repair by the Canal Company; the Com- any to meet any and all expense that song Soy incurred by injury done to private Property,&c ; the work to be done according to plan furnished by the surveyor, Lewis Carberry, and under the supervision of commissioners to be appointed by the Corporation. This ordinance, tn consequence of the hast: adjournment of the Aldermen, was not act upen by the Council. We have but little if any doubt, howeyer, but that the Council will, after learing the explanations of Judge Sherman, give permission for the work to be done Mr. Thomas offered a resolution,which passed both boards, instructing and requesting the Mayer to set apart, by proclamation, Thursday, the 25th instant, us a day ae thanksgiving, Tequesting the ministers of all the churches to appoint religious services for the oceasion, and the owners of all taverns, &c., and places of a, to keep the same closed during the wv Mr. Hen y Barron purchas*d, yesterday, of Capt.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 16, 1868. We mentioned some time since that a license had been granted for the marriage of Parties, one of whom was then jn the county jail awaiting trial on the charge of horse stealing. Sincethen, the party alluded to—Ben. Waller—has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to three years and six months in the penttentiury. Notwith- standing this, the marriage was yesterday sol- emnized in the county jail by Rev John L. Pas- coe, and Miss Sarah McDemuth became Mrs. Waller. The parties bad been living previous tothe arrest in Spottsyivania couaty; and the condition of the newly married woman is repre- sented as one of extreme penury. The circuit court continued its session yester- day, acting upon the following cases: BH. Lambert end others agt. J. H. Monroe— trespass; verdict for plaintiffs. Fowle & Co. (use of Wm. N.
