& EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: 1L> Tuoven “Tue Stax” 1s PRINTED ON THE FASTEST STEAM PRESS IN USE souTH oF BaLti- MORE, ITS EDITION If SO LARGE AS Tc REQUIRE IT To BE PUT TO PRESS AT AN EARLY HOWR; ADVER- ‘TISEMENTS, THEREFORE, SHOULD BE SENT IN BY ‘TWELVE O'CLOCK, M.; OTHERWISE THEY MAY Not | APPEAR UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union regards the conduct of the late Congress, in refusing to provide for one arm of the Federal service, an outrage upon the Con- stitution, and an initiatory act of revolution, much graver than when such acts are but the result of a local popular ebullition of feeling or spasm of fanaticism. The Intelligencer contains a communication from the pen of a gentleman who it says ‘‘ has filled a high legal post in the service of the Government,’’ in answer to the communication whichjrecently appeared in the Union, on the application of the postal revenues to the support of the Department. —. Sa IP Acaloric engine in the Cincinnati Press office is a perfect success—working one of Hoe's cylinders at the rate of 3,000 impressions per hour, ‘with very little consumption of fuel. 7 Capt. Brown. of the ship Belle Creole, from Charleston, S.C., fell from the deck of his vessel into the hold on Saturday, at Boston, and was in- stantly killed. Capt. B. was an officer highly es- teemed, and his untimely end will be deeply la- mented. I~ In Warrensville, Ohio, last week, a woman was drowned in a cistern. The water being only four feet deep, it was supposed that, having slipped in, she became so chilled that she could not stand up until aid reached her, there being no other | person but a small child about the house at the | time. Emancipation tx Russta.—in ten of the Gov- ernments of Russia, the committees of nobles charged with preparing a plan of emancipation, have completed their labor. Wilna, Grodno and Kovno are among the number. A general com- mission has been named to revise the projects of | these three Governments before they are submit- ted to the Central Committee. A Paizz Orreren.—It is said that a reward of | $500 has been offered in Massachusetts for a Repub- lican speech which does not contain the words « oligarchy” and -‘ slave propagandists."* As the most diligent searcher has not been able to dis- cover such an instance, it is thought the prize will not be taken, and that these words will be consid- ered, in future, indispensable to the Republican vocabulary. : 1 The agent of the New York Associated Press, Mr. D. H. Craig, has sued Hon. F. O. J. Smith for libel, laying his damages at $10,000. We believe the libel consists in Mr. Smith charg- ing Craig with cutting telegraph wires. Thetrial of this cause, it is thought, will unveil the hidden tysteries of the New York Associated Press, and expose some strange and startling features connect- ed with their news arrangements. Frou New Mexico.—The New Mexico mail of the 2ist ult., has arrived at St. Louis. Lieut. Beale reports the Canadian Valley ex- ceedingly fertile aud every way adapted for settle- ment.’ Two of the stock mail parties are reported to have been cut off by the Indians. Sendoval, the Mohave chief, is dead. The Albuquerque mail was in successful opera- tion. NavaL.—The U. S. frigate Roanoke, was at Aspinwall on the 5th instant—all reported well. The sloop-of-war Vandalia was at Manzanillo on the last of February—all well. The sloop-of-war St. Mary's arrived at Panama on the 20th, and the next day Capt. Davis handed over the command to the new captain. The old officers and crew were also relieved, and returned in the Star of the West. I> Mr. Francis Gouldy, who, with nearly all the members of his household, was assaulted by his son Francis, in October last, in New York, has so far recovered from his injuries as to be able to attend service on Sunday last. He had, how- | ever, to be supported by a friend. He will never ~recover his normal vigor. A large piece of his skull was removed by the surgeon. His face is | under partial paralysis. from the result of his wounds. A month since, Mrs. Gouldy gave birth to a daughter, and has already recovered from her confinement. All the others, except the servant who died, have quite recovered. 17 In Philadelphia, last week, a clerk in Ma- gargee’s dry good store, heard of an alleged im- proper intimacy between his wife and a friend of | his, the Secretary of an Insurance Company. Be- ing farnished with what he considered undoubted evidence of his_friend’s double-dealing, he at | once, in an indescribable state of mind, repaired to | the office of the Insurance Company where he encountered the object of his search. accused him of playing a false and cowardly part towards him, and proceeded to administer to him a very severe drubbing. The assailant was taken into custody by gentlemen present, and handed over to an ofticer, who took him before a magistrate, where rich developments, usual to duch cases, are ex- pected. —————— {7 Ata recent meeting held at Newcastle-on- Tyne, England, some disclosures were made of the most damning character, against the adminis- | tration of Sir John Bowring, the Governor of Hong Kong, tending to implicate that high official in connivance at, if not some closer connection with Piracy. In this affair is mixed up the name of Mr. Daniel Richard Caldwell, who holds the respon- sible offices of Protector of Chinese, Register Gen- | eral, and Justice of Peace. The facts were made known, in consequence of a libel, which the Gov- ernment of Hong Kong instituted ayainst Mr. | William Tarrant, the editor of the Friend of Chi- na, who charged, in an article which appeared in his paper, that the Government had ordered evi- | dence to be burnt, from deep meditation and de- sign, and in regard to consequences, for the ex- Press purpose of preventing one of its members— | x convicted of | the said Mr. Caldwell—* from bei complicity with a Chinese pirate."* Tux Poisontxe Ca: In the Stephens wife poisoning case in New York, on Friday, the most material testimony was that of Mr. Flynn, the druggist who sold Stephens white arsenic twice, half an ounce each time, within six weeks of his wife’s death. Mrs. Brandon testified to deceased continually complaining of burning in her throat and stomach-sickness two weeks before her death Other witnesses testified to deceased constantly complaining of this stomach sickness. ‘The med- ical testimony was then gone into, Dr. Wood be- ing the witness. He testified that the bedy of Mrs. Stephens was in a remarkable state of preser- vation for a corpse of such long standing. Prof. Doremus proceeded to explain the various delicate and laborous chemical processes by which arsenic was extracted from the body of Mrs. Stephens. The poison was found not only in the stomach and Viscera, but in the muscular and adipose tis- snes and in the bones. He estimated the amount of arsenic obtained at two grains; there must have been considerable waste of the metal in the various Processes; in consultation with his assistants, he — were from four to six grains in the y. On Saturday the evidence consisted of medical testimony in regard nebapitony poisoning by arsenic, which symptoms correspond very strikingly with those manifested by Mrs. ‘Stephens before her death. ——— 07 There are three members Mr. Solomon in Parliament. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tar Extra Session Qurstion.—We have as yetseen no reason to change our opinion that an extra session of the new Congress will be ab- solutely necessary ta the % the public interest from the resul the ‘ agement of their business by the last Congress in the loss of the Post Office appropriation bill. There are hundreds of small contractors to whom the Department owes sums averaging, perhaps, $5,000. extensions of loans from banks or elsewhere, which are not ip these times to be obtained by such parties except with the distinct under- standing that the Govérnment may be expected promptly to redeem its obligations to the bor- rowers. Ifthe Department, through the laches of the last Congress, cannot pay them their dues, they will not only be prevented from complying with their several contracts. but will be ruined; and each and every one of them will have just and fair grounds for applying to Con- gress for indemnification, and that they will be thus indemnified eventually if such is the up- shot of the affair we regard as a fact beyond all dispute. We believe it to be the duty of the Executive at all hazards to save the mail service from being abandoned, and as being equally his duty to protect the mail contractors from ruin through the failure of the Government to comply with its obligations to them, if that be within his legal power. As for the bugbear about the injury to result to the Democratic party from an extra session, we do not regard it as a question legitimately est ring into the Pres‘don.’s calcul ctions of the necessity fur the exercise of his authority to call an extra session. The exigencies of the public service and the propriety of vindicating the good faith (complying with the obligations) of the Government, are the only proper points to be considered in any such connection, we apprehend. Nor do we believe that an extra seasion will result disastrously to the Democratic par- ty’s cause ina political point of view. The opposing organizations (political) have most to dread from being compelled to show their hands—to unfold their plans for the next pros- idential campaign, early. The longer they cin delay their final arrangements for that struggle, the more likely will it be that they will be able to unite against the Democracy. If an extra session should take place, their plans must necessarily be the result of the force of circumstances, rather than of intrigues and bargains of their leaders. The new Congress cannot be in session a fortnight without the de- velopment of their presidential plans; and, we repeat, the earlier they may be known, the better for the prospects of the Democracy in the next presidential election. ——e Stave Property 1x New Mexico.—The Territorial Legislature of New Mexico recently passed a law for the protection of slave prop- erty in that Territory. of which the following is a synopsis: The killing or maltreating of » stave is made equal with the same offences to- wards white persons. Kidnapping, stealing or enticing a slave away, or aiding in so doing, or assisting him to escape or secrete himself, is punishable with imprisonment for not less than | four nor more than ten years, and fine of from $500 to $2,000. To giveaslave fabricated free- ‘dom papers, or induce his absence from his owner. subjects the party to imprisonment and | from $100 to $1,000 fine. To incite or advise | to insurrection or furnish weapons to a slave, or | traffic with one without permission, are punish- | able with from three months to three years im- prisonment, and with from $25 to $100 fine. | The penalty for gambling with a slave is a fine not exceeding $100, or imprisonment not ex- ceeding three months. A reward is provided for apprehending runaways, and the sheriff: are compelled to take care of such when deliv- ered to them, at the rick of be: amenable to the owner for the value of the slave, and to take steps for restoring them to their owners or if no owner comes forward to claim them to provide for their sale at public vendue. It also provided that the owners of slaves | shall be compelled to provide adequately for their maintenance, and shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than one year, or fined not more than $1,000 for inhuman treat- ment of aslave. This law also provides pun- ishment for slaves convicted of erimes and misdemeanors, forbids negroes or mulattves giving evidence in courts against whites; pro- hibits marriages between whites and negroes, and makes all attempts to procure such alli ances punishable. The attempt to conviet on the committal of a rape on a white female by & negro or & mulatto is made punishable with death. Emancipation of slaves in the Terri- tory is totally prohibited. Slaves are not allowed to go off their master’s premises after Sunset without a pass. Provision is made for recovery of a slave unlawfully detained from the owners by another person hy replevin, or | habeas corpus. To hold as asiaven negro or mulatto entitled to his freedom, is to be pun- ished by imprisonment of from five to ten years, and a fine of from $500 to $2,000. The act took effect from the date of its pas- sage, which occurred on the 26th of January last. eran ars | Aproixtwexts.—The following appointments have been confirmed by the President: To be Registers of Land Offices—Ienry L. | Brown, at Boonville, Mo.; Thomas E.

Busrxess.—Those who know most of the bus- iness affairs of Washington, anticipate brisk times here in trade, of all description ¢! Spring, than heretofore. The business o Washington has not recovered from the effects of the panic last summer. The main results of | that, in this community, as in many others, | was the spirit of retrenchment in personal ex- penses, (a capital one,) it generated, and the prevalence of & greater disposition to avoid speculation in business operations. Few, indeed, among us, who were injuriously affected by the general temporary prostration of trade have failed to recover from it so as to be in a far better business condition than before blow came. There never was more hard cash in the bands of our fellow-citizens than at this bent hag there ever before so many opportunities for making money in trade here.
