EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY .............Deeember 2, 185%, 10” Theugh +‘ The Star”’ is printed em the fastest steam press in use south ef Balti- more, its edition is se large as te require it te be put te press at an early hour, Adver- Sisements, therefore, should be sent in by 12 e’cleck, m.; etherwise they may net appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union shows that minority rights in the States are protected by the State constitutions, and minority rights in the Territories by the Federal Constitution. The Union, further, speaks of “political fol- lies, North and South,”’ and asks: “* Why should we quarrel about a matter which we cannot decide or control ? Nobody is x0 want- ing in judgment as to oe that slavery is to be maintained or abolished by parties. It is not a — atfair—a Democratic or Republican in- stitution.”* The Intelligencer treats of the position as- sumed by the Walker filibuster press at Mo- bile. 17 During November the deposits at the Mint in Philadeipbia amounted to $614,365, and the coinage to $879,135 in 5,608,938 pieces, of ‘which 3,080,000 were silver and 2,500,000 copper- {> During the year 1358, thus far, the imports of coffee at Philadelphia have amounted to 149,- 192 bags, being a decrease of 2,106 bags, as com- pared with the corresponding period of last year. Pattune —The New York Evening Post says the Chicago Press and Tribune, has failed for $100,000. The proprietors have had an extension of four years from the creditors, and in that time Will doubtless be on their legs again. Vineisia Powitics —The Democratic State Convention of Virginia will meet at Petersburg to-day, for the nomination of candidates for the offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor and At- torney General, to be voled for on the fourth ‘Thursday in May next. 07 A 8t. Petersburg journal announces that the tenor, Maimanoff, while on the stage, in op- era, had murdered the prima donna, Averonich. No details are given. It is merely said that the persons in the house were so enraged that the seats in the pit were torn up and much damage done. Frortpa.—The Legislature of Florida assem- bled at Tallahassee on the 22d ult. J. Finlayson, of Jefferson, was elected president of the Senate; and J. D. Gailbraith, of Leon, speaker of the House. Gov. Perry's message discourages the idea of reopening the slave trade, and favors the removal of the remaining Seminoles from Florida soil. —$< ‘Travantersc Stocx.—The subscription books of the Louisiana Tehuantepec Company were opened in New Orleans on the 2ith ult, anda large amount was subscribed the same day. The Picayune thinks the whole sum necssary can be raised inthatcity. With the aid thus obtained the Company look forward to the speedy devel- pment of its plans—a railroad across the Isthmus, and its own steamers on the Pacific side. Gas in St. Patersscrc.—The Russian gov- ernment has sanctioned the formation of a joint- stock company for lighting the streets of St. Petersburg with gas. The company has been granted the exclusive right of lighting the prin- cipal streets for a term of 50 years, and has also the lighting of all the other lamps in the other Portion of the city. Its operations extend, there- fore, to every point where gas-lights already ex- ist. The capital is fixed at four millions of Troubles. ————— Wearuer tn tHe Souru.—The weather in some parts of Louisiana, during the month of Novembez, has been unusually cold. Ice and frosts have been plentiful, and in Richmond, ac- cording to the Gazette of that place, ice bas formed sufficiently thick for packing for summer use—which is more than can be said of any local- ily in this vicinity. The sugar crop has been considerably diminished in consequence. About one-half of the crop has been realized on the first ‘Sppesrance of frost, and it was thought that not more than one-half of the remainder would be secured. The Louisiana papers are burdened ‘with complaints of the injury thus done. SSeS aa From Kansas —A Terriorial Mass Convention Of the conservative element assembled at Leaven- ‘worth, Kansas, on the 25th of October, for the Purpose of organizing an opposition to the Re- publicans. The attendance was numerous though only six counties were represented. A thorough Yeunton and reorganization of the Democracy was advocated and butly debated, a strong minority ebaracterizing such action as Premature. A series of resolutions, petitioning Congress for liberal land grants for public improvements, denouncing the Republican party, and in favor of the expul- sion of free negroes from the future State of Kansas, declaring the slave question a dead issue, advocating the opening of the Indian Reserves to settlers, and a modification of the pre-emption Jaws, was finally adoptod, with a preamble de- termining upon an immediate organization of the Democracy. The session was prolonged to alate hour and was rather turbulent. Both wings of the party were well represented, and the discus- sion maintained with vigor. The convention did not commit itself with regard to the next Presidency, though strong Douglas tendencies Prevalled. —_—_—_—————_______. PERSONAL. +++.

The ‘devil!’ Without Robert bas been in WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tue Concert To-nigut.—Though, as we write, the rain pours down heavily, the attrao- tions of M. Strakosch’s grand concerg, to come off to-night at Philharmonic Hall, ubtless fill every nook and corner of the large room with eager auditors. Never beforedid weever hear that so bright a galaxy of musical stars were assembled im this country in any such single entertainment. Though refraining from practising the arts to attract public attention resorted to by rival empressarios, M. Strakosch has achieved a permanent popularity for bis operas and concerts unapproached by those of avy othermanagerinthiscountry. He prefers to attain that object by engaging the best vocal talents and accomplishments that money will procure on either side of the Atlantic, to cre- ating a fictitious musical excitement by paying for puffing and blowing up mediocre artists like to the disappointment of them. Browns’.—During the past recess, Browns’ so well known and popular hotel in this city, has been renovated from top to bottom by the hands of some of the most competent mechanics of Washington. All the upper stories of the magnificent building adjoining it, recently erected by the brothers Galt, were constructed so as to become an addition to the hotel; and a beautiful addition they are truly, making as comfortable and elegant suits of rooms as grace any hotel in the Union. The furniture of the house, heretofore very elegant, has been made more so by the addition of every thing that good taste could suggest as being necessary, until Browns’ hotel will vie with the St. Nich- olas in the gorgeousness of the furniture of its parlors, public and private, and of its bed rooms. The ladies’ parlors—a suit of three— in all their appointments rival any private par- lors on this side of the Atlantic. These addi- tions and improvemonts will surely add greatly to the popularity of this long-established and tavorite hotel. Ex Senator Joun M. Nixes, of Connecticut, left, in his will, $20,000 to the poor of Hartford. His executor has recently paid the money over to the Mayor. One-half is to be devoted to the payment of house rent and the purchase of fuel for the heads of very poor families, especially widows. The other halt to be invested until the accumulation of interest makes it $20,000; when the interest upon that sum is to be per- Petually devoted to the object explained above. No man ever made a more truly charitable disposition of money when about todie. He bas laid up treasures in Heaven in so doing ; for the poor in their prayers will remember him, surely. It will be recollected that from the time he left the Senate almost up to his death he was regarded as being insane. On one oceasion he went to an insane asylum, of his own accord, for treatment—residing many months there. Yet he died ina far sounder state of mind, evidently, than hundreds of thousands making far more pretensions to the possession of deep religious sentiments and public spirit. - A Correctios.—We apprehend that the teB egraphic announcement of the election of “G. M. Kiem, Anti-Lecompton Democrat,” as the successor of the Hon. J. Glancy Jones in Con- gress, from the Berks district of Pennsylvania, is incorrect. We have every reason to believe that it is Wm. H. Kiem, a staunch Republican Party man, who has never yet professed the slightest identity with the Democratic party, who has triumphed on this occasion by the aid of the votes of Anti-Lecompton professed Dem- ocrats. What a commentary is this election on the sincerity of the professions of the Douglas party in our midst, of the determination of their leader and his organization to stand by the action of the approaching Charleston Con- vention! Is it not in strict keaping with the conduct of the Douglasites in the Indiana Legislature a few days since ?—and, indeed, with that of the Douglasites everywhere in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the late Con- gressional elections’ EXcAVATIONS FRoM THe RvIXs oF Car- THAGE.—A private letter received in this city from Tunis, Algiers, states that on the 20th of October H. B. M. steamer Supply arrived at that port from Malta, for the purpose of taking on board forty-five cases, containing Mosaic and Punic inscriptions, which were taken from the ruins of Carthage. Some of the Mosaics are represented as being beautiful and of large size—one piece measuring 15 feet by 6 feet. The cases generally measure about eight feet square. Besides the inscriptions several pieces of statuary and architecture, were also pat on the Supply. These articles are all to be taken to London and placed in the museum there. Both the English government and people seem to take great interest in the excavation of these ruins, and the former has been liberal in sup- plying money for the purpose. Cavirorsta Laxp Cuains.—Thero hus been forwarded to the Interior Department, through the Attorney General, full official accounts of the proceedings in the land cases of Limatour and Almedan, which have recently been adju- dicated in the Supreme Court of California in favor of the United States. The first of these claims was located near San Francisco, and covered, it is said, property worth $40,000,000; the other covered a valuable quicksilver mine. As the cases were very important, Attorney General Black engaged a prominent legal gen- tleman of Pittsburg, Pa., Mr. Stanton, to de- fend the United States, and he was assisted by the U. 8. District Attorney for California. It was shown on the trial, that the titles of the Private claimants were fraudulent; and al- though every arrangement had been made to Prevent detection, by means of the most inge- niously contrived schemes, the whole plot was laid bare and defeated. Evorses ror roe New Nava Steamers — The Secretary of the Navy has appointed the following Chief Engineers to examine and re- Port upon the bids for contracts for engines and machinery for the naval steamer now building at Norfolk, , to wit: W. P. Williamson, B. F. Isherwood, W. E. Everett, J. P. Whipple, and Alban C. Stimers. rastus W. Smith and Miles Cor- ew York, and Washington Jones, of Philadelphia, have been called upon by the Secretary of the Navy to act as arbitrators in awarding a contract for the engines, &c., of the vessel now building at Phi elpbia. The board of engineers who had the examination of these bids, consisted of four, and they were divided equally in their opinions. Hence, the Secretary has had resort to these parties out of the service, so as to insure impartiality in the decision. Brazmuian Tarivy on Frour.—The agent of the Associated Press telegraphed the follow- ing paragraph from this city yesterday: * Through the efforts of the State Department for « metioration of the duty on fiour in Brazil, an imperial decree has been issued reducing it thirty per centam below the former tariff. This been heretofore a large balance against the United States = ecovant ot acer tensive importations of coffee. {t ix now sup- posed that ur exports of flour to Brazil will very considerably Lae the drain from this coun- of specie, which it is represented has, through arrangement of trade, been di . = ees = verted into Bat We may add, in this connection, that of the entire coffee crop of Brazil about two-thirds, or from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 worth is sent (this country, and is admitted free. Flour is our chief export to that country, and the high tariff of Brazil has prevented its importa- tion so far, that, we are told, the amount sent thither from this country, for a few years past, has barely exceeded $250,000 or $300,000 worth. It is believed this reduction of the tariff by Brasil will operate very favorably on the trade of this country.

Tansill, a Captain in the Marine Corps of the Navy, will be promoted, it is said, to be a Major, vice B. E. Brooke, deceased; and R. L. Browning, a Lieutenant in the Corps, will be Promoted to fill the vacancy occasioned by the Promotion of Captain Tansill. ApporntuEgNt.—H. P. K.

(cor- ee From New Mexico.—The Santa Fe mail of the Sth reached Independence on the 28th of Oc- tober. The conductor reports snow a foot deep from the Arkansas river to Walnut creek. The weather was very cold, and the road in bad con- dition. A letter from Mr. Crenshaw, one of the contrac- ors on the route between Independence and Stockton, California, states that news had reached Santa Fe of a battle between Lieut. Beale’s par- ty of surveyors and the Camanche Indians, and that fears were entertained that the mail from Neosha to Albuquerque was lost. No particulars of the fight are given. No newspaper mail has been received, but pri- vate letters say that no news of importance had teached Santa Fe from the Navajo country. The St. Joseph’s Gazette learns from a private letter dated Santa Fe, October 31, that the Nava- jo Indians had attacked Fort Defiance, but were repulsed by the loss of 9% killed. The number of troops killed was four. This is probably an exaggerated account of the skirmishing in the Vicinity of the fort, reported by the mail of No- vember Ist. The California mail left Santa Fe for Stockton on October 25th in charge of fourteen men. Fears were entertained that the returning mai] party on that route would be cut off. as the Nava- jo, Mohave and Digger Indians were hostile to the whites. es THE LADIES ©: wul giv, 8th. good ou can have ad supper for 50 cents, del-t WASHINGTON SAVING FUND BUIL- .

He went to cmct ef Justice Reaver, where, after making ome very foolish demand, which was properly refused, he heaped upon him a most wanton tirade of abuse, even going so far as to invite the Justice into the street to fight. Officer Pomroy being present, arrested the tleman, and the Suatloe committed him to jail. Officers Pomroy ‘and Thomas soon had a carriage at hand, and, notwithstanding his remonstrances, and terrible threats of Western Hose, and other parties, they very soon conveyed him to Mr. King’s boarding house, near Tadiclary square, in your city. The weather this morn is terrible; suffi- ciently gloomy to plunge one intoa fit ofthe blues. Cloudy, smoky, foggy, celd, real winter-like, and attended with a pretty heavy fall of nail and rain. Consequently, our business thoroughfares at the time of writing this letter is almost entirely for- saken. ‘We are informed that Dr. Jewell, of Washing- ton, has purchased the elegant farm and stock of Lieut. Julius S. Bohrer, situated in Montgomery county, Md, about six miles from Georgetown. known as “ The Cottaye,” and containing about 180 acres.

Business along our river and canal wharves for several days has presented quite a cheerful and livelysappearance. The weather this morning has. however, laid another embargo upon it.

ALgxanpzia, Va., Dec. 2, 1858. The inclement weather which, this morning, succeeds the bright, bracing atmosphere of yes- terday, has hada serious effect upon out-door business; compelling the suspension of building operations in several instances, preventing the unlading of vessels, and altogether making busi- ness quite slack. The contract between this city and the Ameri- can Coal Company, which excited so much in- terest and sash considerable debate in our ed Councils last week, bas been finally concluded. In a short time, contracts for the work will be made, and the work itself commenced. Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o’clock, a frame stable belonging to Stephen Sbinn, and situated in the rear of bis residence, on Water street, was found to be on fire. The building was stored with hay, and it was not until the stable was ruined that the firemen were enabled to check the rogress of the flames.
