Jacob Thompson ; u wi are at ‘all conversant with its alfairs il bear ready testimony to the industry, fidebity, and ability with which it is administered by him. We would not be invidious, nor willingly reflect upon bis predecessors, but it is nevertheless due to am able public officer to say that Mr. Tom son has been most fortunate in mastering all the details of his Department, and in executing the great varieties of high duties devolved upon bim with a fairness, an energy, and ability which have commanded almost universal praise. Discreetin every act, faithful and dev: to every duty in- telligent in every decision, courteous in his inter- course, he has been able to win the confidence of the whole country, and tbe respect and admira- tion of the Democratic party, of which heis and has ever beea a true memiber.’’ The Unzon, further, notices the recent speech of Senator Douglas at Chicago, and an article on the Navajo war in the Intelligencer. The [nte/ligencer treats of the refusal of the Collector of the port of Mobile to grant a clear- ange to the Alice Painter, and says: “It is to be hoped that the precautions so roperly taken by our Government in the prem- ses may be seconded by the jocal authorities of Mobile, and that the country may be spared the disgrace of another successful evasion of the Jaws enacted for the preservation of our neutral obligations.”* —_—___—_2+e-+______- U~ The Richmond Enquirer of Saturday con- tained a letter of two columns and more fromm Judge Brockenbrough, in reply to the statement, signed by the Hon. Sherrard Clemeus, which ‘was published aday or two after the duel be- tween that gentleman and Mr. Wise. The letter from Judge J. was transmitted to the editors of Enqu‘rer_#ith the instruction not to publish un- less they were assured upon the best authority that Mr. Clemens was out of danger. The edi- tors state that Mr.C.’s recovery being now placed beyond doubt, they do not hesitate to publish the Judge’s communication. Sovrx Amenica.—We have dates from Rio Janeiro to October 10, and from Buenos Ayres to September 29. The intelligence from the former place is without Interest. From the latter we learn that the Legislative Chambers had been Prorogued to the Ist of November, after passing an act appropriating money for schools, and ano- ther abolishing the land grants of Rosas. Prom the Argentine there is little of interest. The dis- covery of gold mines in the Province of Santa Cruz bad excited great interest. Gold-seekers were said be rewarded with an ounce of pure metal per hour. Gen. Lopez, according to the Asunction Semenario, has abolished the prohibi- tion upon the exports of grain, sugar, &c.

Jennings Wise and Charles Irving. A card signed by Mr. Irving, reflecting upon Mr Wise, appeared in the Whig on Thursday morn- ing, and the apprebension that a persozal colli- sion might take place influenced the Mayor to issue 4 peace warrant, which was placed in the Bands of the officers. On Friday mornifiz the Enquirer came out with Mr. Wise’s reply to Mr. Irviag, and the public mind was in a ferment all day in the anticipation of a fight. Mr. Wise ‘was arrested about midday, and taken before the Mayor, who beld him to bail for his appearence on Monday. Ata later hour Mr. Irving was ar- rested, and also required togive bail for his ap- pearance on Monday. It is understood that a charge of libel will then be broug bt against both ‘The Mayor feels confident that his course in the matter rests upon the iaw, and the result of the case will be looked for with much interest. Thus the matter stauds at present. Mr. Irving in his last card, announced his iatention of becominga ‘witness in the matter of the duel between Messrs. Wise and Clemens—Mr. Irving having been Mr. Clemens’ second on that occasion, and the pros- ecution having been stayed heretofore by Judge Meredith’s decision that uone of the parties were bound to answer questions which might tend to criminate themseives. The Democrats of Richmond held a second meeting last night to appoint delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention, which mects at Pe- tersburg on the 2d of December.

A resolution endorsing Mr. Letcher, but declaring the intention of the Richmond Democracy to stand by the nominee of the Con- vention, Was offered by Mr. Pryor asa compro- mise and carried. Three cheers were then given for Letcher, after which Mr.O J.

As the house now stands, it fronts 313 fecton Pennsylvania avenue, 309 feet on Fourteenth street, and 46 feet on F street. The main ad- dition of the season has been on Fourteenth and F streets, where the old and new buildings have been raised to seven stories, and the old buildings made almost entirely new, with the exception of the outer walls. Most of the inte- rior space—the inclosure between the frents mentioned above—are covered with a vast seven story interior building, amply lighted by eky-lights, and ventilated thoroughly with im- proved flues of huge dimensions, seventy feet high. These are devoted to various purposes incident to the business of the house—the kitch- en, bakery, engine room, boiler room, wash room, store rooms, &e., &e., allof which are con- structed on such a seale as that each shall do its share in the proper accommodation of the one thousand guests at a time, the proprietors of Willards’ Hotel will shortly be ready to en- tertain with as much facility us last season they entertained some three or four hundred. Among the most important of their new ad- juncts is a beautiful littlo oscillating steam- engine, of seven-horse power, which labors away from morn till night, accomplishing won- ders,-while making no more noise in so doing, if as much, as the ticking of a two dollar Yan- kee clock. Its province is to pump hot and cold water into all parts of the establishment, including the attic floors, three hundred feet away; also to lift all the coal and wood, and anything else necessary to any of the floors; to drive the ironing and mangling machinery, and to saw all the wood required in keeping up the hundreds of fires about the house. The reader will therefore perceive that its employ- ment in such an establishment actually suves the labor of at least one hundred servants: for were all such work done “by hand” instead, one hundred men, women, boys and girls more than will now be necessary, would be required to do it (that work) as well. Adjoining the little basement closet in which this engine works, is a large room in which the sawing for the day is:done, and on the other side another large room wherein there are three huge b»il- ers to generate the steam necessary to run the engine and for heating the whole house by means of iron pipes penetrating everywhere. These boilers also furnish the hot water for the washing, and for the supply of every portion of the vast pile, from cellar to roof. Yesterday, we saw with pleasure the trial of one of these boilers, of fifty-horse power, (patented and erected by our fellow-citizens, Wm. M. Ellis & Bro.,) for heating the build- ing, washing, tc. Some idea of its eficieney as a steam generator may be had from the fact that steam was raised in it to 50 Ibs. pressure, from cold water, in 30 minutes after kindling the fire. This boiler is the same in its ar- rangement, by the by, as the one used on the canal steamer Jas. L. Catheart ; the success of which boat consists, it is believed, as much in the capacity of her boiler for generating steam as from any other cause. The kitchen is the most complete one weever saw. It is 46 by 25 feet, and is 15 feet high. It is lighted by a glass roof. Its arrangements “are the completest conceivable, and were do- signed for the most part by the Brothers Wil- tard. In it are threo huge ranges—one for boil- ing and baking; another, Piant & Ball's well- known hotel range, for miscellaneous cooking, 18 feet long, set im the centre of the room, so that a battalion of cooks may operate around it; and a third, quite as large, for cooking vege- tables by steam. The second range we here mention sends its smoke under the floor, toa three-feet flue, seventy feet tall, so well that, with every one of its grates at a red heat, neither gas nor smoke escapes from it into the bedy of the kitchen. The rvom is ventilated by another three-fect flue, ranning clear to the top of the roof, through which the aroma or smell of the viands being cooked escapos, with- out penctrating elsewhere. Hard by the kitchen is the bakery,with brick and cast-iron ovens sufficient for the baking neceszary for a little family of twelve or thir- teen hundred persons. Like the kitehén, and, indeed, ali the rest of the house, it is amply supplied with hot and cold water, from the pump and boiler room before mentioned. Near at band is the huge dumb-waiter on which the meals of the employees of the establishment are hoisted to their dining room, just overhead. The wash room is on the Same (ground) floor. its machinery is so arranged that with its help three women can wash and wring out 3,000 pieces per diem. Hot and cold water cocks supply each of its huge troughs or tubs, and escape cocks and pipes instantiy convey off the water that has been used, as required. The doors of all these rooms, and, indeed, of the whole of the ground floor except that of the main dining room, are of tiles, such as are soen in the addition to the Capitol, now being con- structed. The main dining room is on the ground floor and extends from within a few feet of Pennsyl- vania avenue, along Fourteenth to F street, 230 by 46 feet. Its ceilings are elaborately frescoed, and its arrangements are such as that one thousand persons can be comfortably seated at table in it at one time. It is Perhaps the largest, as well as the most complete din- ing hall In the United States. Midway of its length, on the west side, is a grand Staircase, in a forty feet hall, leading down to it from the stories above; and on the same side, communi- cating with it, are half-a-dozen elegant rooms for the accommodation of private or other spe- cial dinner parties; and also two carving rooms communicating with the rooms in which the table ware and linen, wines, dry fruit, &c., are stored. On the floor above, just over the engine and boiler rooms, the kitchen and bakery, are the dining hall of the employees of the house, ano- ther for private servauts and children boarding there, the store-rooms for bed-linen and clean clothes, the laundry in which the latter are finally done up, and the room in which ma- chinery is doing the work in the way of iron- ing which would, without its employment, oc- cupy the time of thirty or forty females. Over the main and private dining rooms (in the new building) are two ranges of private parlors and bed-rooms extending from F street 4 coxaaihed, and flanking a grand promenade hall. Indeed, the three stories next above the Barrett was the person who inflicted the fatal wound. This, in 1 cireumstances have enti¥iéd him either to an might not under the sep Sn egesl pera yern acquittal or to a more favorable verdict than Gost. Thus’ there are a multitude of prome- | he received ; but it is impossible to say. that it nedes in the establishment on the same level—f SB0uld n affect the jadgment'of his moral from Féireest%o Penthsylvania avenue, 309 feet, | Suilt, or tat it does not plead more’or less m.the,cortier of Fourteenth street up | * y evens om tion of the extreme aod fi ‘the the immense pile, as it now is, truly. * The ground floor of the original building, o Pennsylvania avenue, has been essentially re- modeled. Thus the former broker's office at the corner of Fourteenth street has been converted into an elegant reception room with tiled floor, for the aceommodation.of lady ‘guests arriving and lady visitors to persons in the house. The two parlors for gentlemen next to it have been refitted from end to end, and the office hall or main entrance for the public has been much enlarged, and greatly increased in brilliancy and convenience. Immediately over head, the so well known promenade hall has been entirely renovated and improved by the introduction of fresco work and graceful Italian pillars, while the ladies’ parlor, with which its centre connects, has been doubled in size by throwing into it, by means of large fulding doors, the adjoining rooms on the east, which are as highly finished in all their arrangements as the main parlor, by the hands of competent artists. But we may notelaborate concerning the im. provements of this now so grand establishment. Wherever a change in the interior of this por- tion of tho structure (on Pennsylvania avenue) could be made to add to the comfort of guests and the convenience of the house it has been done, and to so great an extent as that its ha- Litues for years past would hardly recognize its “once familiar halls.”” From top to bottom the proprietors have refitted and refurnished, so that, with the cost of the new building, ma- chinery, &0., their outlay, to provide for the necessities of their increasing business, has been (during the past season) somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000—a quarter of a mil- lion! ‘This fact telis the tale of the extent of the hotel business in our midst—a business which has increased, part pass, with the in- crease of the population, wealth, and taste in our whole country. We presume that in no other city in the world, of no greater permanent population than ours, is that business so exten- sively carried on; for no other people in the world peregrinate as do the Americans after obtaining the means of amusement—pleagure secking—by travel. The proprietors of this magnificent and elab- orate establishment are still very young men. They came hither but a few years ago without means, and by steady industry and care anda thorough knowledge of their business, have been able to erect and furnizh—as their own property— this completest and perhaps largest hotel in the country. As business men, they have fairly earned the confidence of this entire community ; and, as hotel keepers, they have 8o satisfied the public at Jarge as that through the profits of their patronage they have ob- tained the means of becoming the Jona fide proprietors of suchanestablishment. That the future business of Willards’ hotel is destined to be commensurate with the enterprise of its Proprietors, is certain; for its past busincss— when so imperfect an establishment, as com- pared with its present condition—has been such as to jastify the Messrs. Willard in thus extend- ing and improving it. The most of the work has been done by the day and under the personal supervision of the Messrs, Willard, and much credit isdue the mechanics of Washington for the manner in which their duty has been performed. The first foundation stone was laid the first of June, and the whole is now nearly completed, and will be opened in a few days for the reception of guests. The iron work, (amongst whieh we saw some beautiful Corinthian columns in the dining- room, as well as the window heads, girders, &c., &e.,) was manufactured by Wm. M. Ellis & Bro., enginoers and founders, of this city, who have furnished the gross weight cf about 80,000 Ibs. to the Messrs. W. in such articles, we understand. | Tus Commeration or Barrett's SENTENCE. In times of excitement and during the prev- alence of lawlessness and violence, the pardon- ing power often becomes the subject of discus- sion, and its use is criticised with extreme severity. Men are ever prone to lay the blame of existing evils on those who stand in high places, however remote their connection with the source of discontent. In obedience to this disposition it is very natural to attribute the increase of crime to the occasional exercise of Executive clemency. But a moment’s candid reflection will satisfy any reasonable person that such an assumption has no solid founda- tion. A simple fact will show the error in their mode of reasoning. The instances in which criminals escape merited punishment by the favorable verdicts of juries are ten times more numerous than the cases in which they are saved by Executive interference. Were there no such thing as a pardoning power, the effect would be to increase the ia- dulgenee of juries, to make them more relue- tant to convict offenders, and thus to defeat in a greater degree the ends of justice. The power to discriminate between grades of guilt, in cases where the law recognizes no dif- feronce of punishment, must reside somewhere. Take it away from the Executive, or forbid, by denunciation and popular clamor, its exercise in any case, and it will be wielded,with twelve times as much capacity for mischief, by every jury that isempannelled. Our laws may pro- claim, as they do, that the man who kills an- other for violating his female relative, ‘the inebriate who slays a friend in the madness of intoxication, and the wretch who coolly mur- ders @ guest for his money, are deserving of the same penalty. But it is by no means easy to reconcile this doctrine with natural justice, nor to induce jurors to sustainit in practice. Were it not that thero is vested in the Chief Execu- tive Magistrate a power to deal mercifully in cases for which no general rules could have been safely prescribed, the slightest diminution in the moral guilt of a homicide would in nearly every instance produce a complete exemption from punishment. From the very nature of the pardoning power it is clear that it was not intended to be con’ trolled by any well-defined rule. If it could have been subjected to law, it would not have been left to discretion. It saves where the law condemns. It was not designed to apply only to cases of doubtful guilt; for there the jury should acquit the prisoner. It was not pro- vided to correct errors in the course of the trial ; for the judiciary is invested with sufficient Power and intelligence to do that. * And yet, while we must concede that there is an impracticability in reducing the exercise of the pardoning power to any perfeet system, and in prescribing for it any other limit than the conscience of the Executive Magistrate, it seems to have been assumed, in some quarters, that the recent act of clemency in favor of Bar- rett, was in violation of some acknowledged principle. We cannot acknowledge the ju- tice of this assumption. The powertul appeals made in behalf of the prisoner to the President may be thrown out D of the account. The earnest efforts of the counsel and of the jurors who tried him may be disregarded, aud many conteud from the'r ¥ own recollection of what took place on the trial ©; 313 feet, to the eastern terminus of} 3 been otherwise im- posed. Many around regard the’ case as’ coming within that class for which the power of conimutation has been wisely provided. In as- serting this, it is not intended to assume that imprizonment for life isin every instance a suf- ficient punishment. And yet it may do no harm to remember that it is still a punishment, and a terrible one. The offender has not been set free upon so- ciety. We are ata loss to conceive what ex- couragement will be afforded to crime by the eontemplation of Barret’s fate. The boon which he has received is not liberty, but the sad priv- ilege of spending the remajnder of his days within the walls of a penitentiary. There he must remain while the long years passdrearily away, while summers go and return, without one glimpse of the sky or breath of the free air. Old age will steal upon him in his gloomy cap- tivity; and he will close his miserable existence uncheered by the presence of a single friend. Surely this should be some consolation even to those who can see no safety to the public in anything but blood. Mexican Arrarrs.—It is stated that Senor Tassara, the Spanish minister resident here, has been asked by this Government for an ex- planation of the intentions of Spain towards Mexico, as connected with her recent move- ments respecting that country. The impres- sion prevails that Spain purposes to interfero in favor of Zuloaga, who is the contestant with Juarez for the government of Mexico. It is stated thata Spanish ficet has alroady been sent from Cuba to Tampico for this purpose, and that another more extensive one is to fol- low at an early day. 08+ Tux Meruopist Convzrence.—The South- etn Methodist Conference, of Virginia, meets at Portsmouth on Wednesday next, the 24th inat., and will be presided over by Bishop Kavanagh Every preparation has been made by the citizens for the entertainment of the members.
