THE EVENING STAR. | Wstunoron news ano coer. WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY.......++ September 10, 1859, Spirit of the Morning Press. The Constitution announces that a very full re- view of Judge Douglas's celebrated article in Harpers’ Magazine will soon make its appearance in pamphlet form, being a ‘‘full vindication of the true Democratic doctrine on the Territorial question.** The Comstitwtion quotes largely from the inau- gural address of Gov. Magoffin, of Kentucky, to show that the safe middle ground of President Buchanan has been sustained by Kentucky. The Intelligencer commences its promised ar- ticle on the Territorial Question, giving over five colufnns on its legistative history, and proposing to resume the subject on Tuesday next. {>> A grandson of the celebrated Macdonald | a marshal of Napoleon II., is practising law in St. Louis i> The Mr. O.

Such he intends it to be, 4s @ proper tribute to the genius of the great man the day will celebrate. Senxpay (Qvestion tx Pitrssrrc, Pa.—The Citazens’ Passenger Railway Company of Pitts- burg ran their cars on Sunday last, and it is their purpose to so continue. A number of citizens are taking steps to enforce the observance of the law of 17% as interpreted by Judge Thompson, which is, that what has a tendency to make others com- mit a breach of the peace, is in itself a breach of the peace. ee eee See. i>" The favorite and decidedly most fashiona- die costumes of the present moment in Paris are the war soiled and patched uniforms of the heroes ef the Italian campaign. The red pantaloons pieced with the white cloth torn from an Austrian soldicr excites a burst of admiration and enthusi- asm, such as the most stylish artifices of gentle- men’s paraphernalia can never hope to excite even by the most artistic creation of his inventive brain and nimble fingers. ———— >> The two bundreth anniversary of the set- tlement of Norwich, Ct., was celebrated in that city on the 7th inst. It was estimated that there were from 15,000 to 25.000 visitors present from New York and the Eastern and Western States Among the notables present were Millard Fill- more, Albert H. Tracy of Buffalo, Erastus Cor- ning, Chancellor Walworth, Daniel C. Gillman, (Librarian of Yale College,) Bishop Lee of Dela- ware, Dr. Bolles of Cleveland. Mrs. Sigourney, &c., &c. The exercises on the occasion were processions, speeches, and general festivity.

Carroll Walsh; House of Delegates, Robert R. Vundiver, George Hays and Robert Gailey; State’s Attorney, John R. Richardson; Sheriff, Jos. W. Bateman. The Democratic Convention of Queen Anne’s county nominated James Dudley for Register of Wills and J. R. Strong for sheriff.

Extenstve Terecrarmc Exterprise.—Lixes To CaLivorsta anv Sait Laxe.—Contracts were executed in N fork city on Thursday by the Western Union raph Company, the Missouri River Telegraph Company, and the Missouri, Kansas and Utah Telegraph Company, by which the former company have become the controllers of all the telegraph line west of St. Louis, and ar- rangements are now in progress and ample mans provided to extend the lines of the two latter com- panies, under the general superintendence of Chas. M. Stebbins, Esq., from St. Louis to Fort Smith, 500 miles om the ronte of the Butterficld overland mail, and from St. Lonisto Atchison and Utah. The latter is now in successful operation a dis- tance of about 400 miles west of St. Louis, and the line to California via Fort Smith is in good working order about 300 miles west of St. Louis. By the line, which will soon open another section of about 200 miles, the press will recetve very full reports of California news three or four daysin advance ef the overland mail at St. Louis; and within the next few mouths it may be reasonably anticipated that the California and Utah lines will become the most important sources of Auteresting public intelli ce Inpgresvexcs Mostmext —The National Mon- ument Association haviug in charge the arrange- weuts for the erection of 2 grand monument in Independence Square.

The Republican y's committee here have published the allega- a that nine-tenths of the mail matter sent free because bearing on it the name Of a member of Congress, has the name put on by some one other than the member himself. While we do not be- lieve in the truth of this allegation in all its length and breadth, it is doubtless true that the law and the regulations of the ent are extensively thus violated for the benefit of all political parties and of individual cronies of members of Con- gress. The abuse ts incident to the existence of a legal franking privilege, used as ours certainly is, not so much to advance the public interest as to subserve the interests of members of Congress in- dividually and of the different political parties, At least, such are the purposes to which it has been systematically applied of late years. Its di_ Tect cost to the U.S. Treasury may be estimated by millions of dollars; while its indirect cost is much greater; for it is the parent of successful demagogism, the reason why inefficient and otherwise unfit persons manage to keep places in Congress after it is well known that they are unfit for and inefficient as national legislators. If Post- master General Holt succeeds in confining the use of the franking privilege hereafter to those legally entitled to it, he will be doing much indeed for the country. But if Congress can be induced to abolish it altogether, much more good will resuly from that action. As matters now stand, any member of Congress may, through a resort to the franking privilege, tox the National Treasury as heavily as he chooses, to subserve his own personal interests. He may compel it to foot the bill for the transportation of five or six millions of copies of electioneering appeals to the people in his own behalf, as Mr. Douglas has been doing in the last year: or of perhaps balf that number, as the Republican party’s committee in this city have done in the lost three months, for the benefit of their party’s canse in the Northwest. That such never was the intention of the law granting the franking privi- lege is absolutely certain. Yet that the law will be made more and more the pack-horse for the ac- complishment of such ends is quite as certain. A repeal of the law is the remedy, and the only remedy that will certainly answer. In the mean- while, the Postmaster General is winning golden opinions in all directions, from those whose appro- bation is worth having, for his exertions to pre- vent others than those entitled to abuse the law in question from so doing. As apropos to this subject, we may mention that not long since a mail of electioneering docu- ments was sent from this city to a post ottice yielding to the Department a revenue of nine cents, the cost of the transportation of which. by express or by any other possible private convey. ance, would have been certainly not less than forty dollars. > Dacisions or tmz Treasury DarartTMEeNt.— Upon appeals from the Collector of the port of New York, the Treasury Department has recently made the following decisions as to classification, under the tariff act of 1857, of certain articles of foreign manufacture and production : Button Stuffs —Certain manufactures of worst- ed, imported in the piece, 27 inches in width, with holes of the diameter of one-quarter of an inch punctured at intervals of 20 iuohon and ata distance of 9 inches from either edge—decided to be properly assessed with a dut: 19 cent.

The depart- saent bas no information of the establishment of a line by him to perform the required service,” etc. “Ton,” however, in his letter to the Sun of this morning, of the same date as the special dispatch, ‘* Sach assurances have lately been given of the ability and of the contractor, Mr. John- son, to fulfil his contract for the transportation of the mails by the Nicaraguan route, as to remove — that had been entertained on that ques- jon .”* Which of the correspondents is right? > A Fasrication.—It has been stated that there are Democratic committees now at work in this city franking and sending off political documents by tens of thousands, and that while this is the case the city post office refuses to send Republican documents franked and directed inthe same way. We state most positively that there is no Demo- cratic committee now in Washington engaged In the work of franking documents, and the story to the contrary is a fabrication, gotten up to preju- dice the uninformed against the Post Office De- partment, because it refuses to send by mall Re- publican documents illegally franked.

Gredt Conflagration—Six Stores Consumed— Mechanics’ Hall in Ashes. Correspondence of The Seaxi™ be Porremovrn, Va,, Sept. 8, 1859. Editor of the Star: Yesterday morning, between 4 and? o'clock, the commeunity of Norfolk was suddenly thrown inté a stateof miuch excitement, by the burning of a large exhfbition room known &s ‘‘Mechanies’ Hall,” which, together with some four of five other houses, (principally stores) were totally cousumed. It appears that the fire first, origmated in the above-named Hall, which communicated to other buildings adjoining, an which, notwithstanding the setive exertions of the firemen, were soon crumbled into ruins. Messrs. Farant, Lester & Co.’s tailoring establish- ment, adjoining Mechanics’ Hall, lost much of their stock. which I believe,was partially insured. Mecbanies’ Hall, which cost the Mechanics’ As- sociation of , was for about $14,000. Mr. Pepper who occupied the rear butiding. in which had several bil!iard tables, lost about $10,00C—insured for $5,000. Messrs. Walters & Co., who carried’ on the up holstering business, &c , was amply covered by an insurance of $6,000. Mr. thee, en cabinet maker, had a policy of $2,000, which he thinks will fally compensate him for his loss. Messrs. Cowdery & DeBree lost about $5,000, with an in- surance of about 32,000. A valuable Panorama of Australia and China, belonging to Mr. Boneau, valued at $6.000, was in the Hall at the time and was consumed, without insurance. The Fire battalion of Norfolk, assisted by the fine engine Independent of this city, did all in their power tosavethe buildings; and much praise is awarded to them for the agility and skill dis- played by them on the occasion. By proper in- vestigation into the matter, the worthy Mayor of Norfolk hopes to gain some clug as to it original- ity, which. as yet. cannot be correctly ascertnined. ‘During the fire several fights occurred, and sev- eral arrests were made for the larceny of goods which had been removed from the burning build- ings; and one man received a slight bruise on the head, occasioned by a brick falling upon it. We sincerely trust that we may never witness such a scene again as the one presented at this fire. We were pleased to see workmen en: yes- terday evening in pulling down the walls of the old butidings; and while we deeply sympathize with the merchants and others whe have sustained such a loss, yet we hope to see new and handsome buildings oceupying their stead. R.E.R. Items Telegraphed from Washington. Wasuinctox, Sept. 8—Neither the Mexican Minister nor the State Department have any ad- vices of the arrival of Mr. McLane ora treaty. Both, however, confidently anticipate the accept- ance of the terms proposed in the last instructions from General Cass to our Minister, in which case Mr. McLane has leave te come to Washington with the convention. ‘The Northwestern difflenlty will doubtless be- come a matter for negotiation between the govern- ment of Great Britain and that of the United ‘States, as the treaty settling the boundary has no Provision for a settlement.in sucha case as has arisen. The State Department has bad this mat- ter under consideration, and General Harney will receive fwstructions to act with greatcaution until the govements have compared views upon the subject. Suictoze or a Hotet Propriztor in New Yorx.—The guests of the International Hotel, Broadway. New York, were thrown into a state of great excitement, on Thursday afternoon, in consequence of the suicide of Mr. Alfred Free- man, the proprictor of the establishment. It ap- pears that he had been ill for about a week, with a slow fever and nervous attack, which so debil’- tated him that he was required to keep his bed His spirits were quite low, and he was heard to say that he did not believe he would recover. Thursday afternoon, about 3 o’clock, he requested Mrs. Gilson, his sister-in-law, who was waiting upon him at the bedside, to leave the room for a few moments. Mrs. G. complied with the reqnest, and during ber absence Mr. Freeman got out of bed, locked the door, and taking a razor out of his bureau drawer, waiked up to the mirror and cut his throat from ear toear. He then managed to make his way back to bed, and throwing himself down, died in a few moments. T’he situation of deceased was not discovered until life was quite extinct. Mrs. Gilson, finding the door locked on her return, became alarmed, and getting upon a chair, looked into the room through the fanlight over the door, when she saw her relative lying upon the bed, covered with bleod from head to foot. The alarm was raised and the door was burst open; but deceased was then inanimate. The cause which led to the commission of the rash act can be attribute to nothing other than sickness, for, as regards business and domestic matters, Mr. Freemun had no difficulty whatever. He was a native of England, and was about forty years of age. A wife and three children are left to lament the sad occurrence. f NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH, North Capitol, net.
