THE EVENING STAR. ASHINGTON NEWS AND Goss! Deatu or THE DavcHTER oF James Stzruexs,| XXXVith CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. WASHINGTON CITY: TUEsDaY.. February 21, 1860. Spirit ef the Morning Press. The Constitwtion thinks that the sentiment of a Jarge majority of the Republican party is, “Give us Seward or give us death "’ The Intelligencer is devoted to Congressional proceedings and news. — see OF The New York Post denies that it refuses te support Mr. Bates, of Missouri, if he is nomi- nated by the Chicago Convention. * I> From Shillington we have Godey’s Lady's Book for March, containing in its literary budget gnother installment of the ‘‘ Slimmens” auto- biograpby. {07> The New York Tribune thinks the post- ponement of the Chicago Convention to June a grave mistake, both in loss of time and in the opportunity given for breeding dissensions among the Republicans about rival candidates. (0 Henry Downs, a young man who was sus- pected of having killed another by the name of Joyce, inariotin Baltimore, about a year ago, and who has kept himself concealed in his moth- er’s house in that city, ever since, has given him- self up, asserting bis innocence, but stating that be prefers to stand a trial to longer enduring his self-imprisonment. {> The New York Tribune comes out strongly for Bates as the Republicen Presidential candi- date. It says: “If, then, our Convention shall decide that it cannot safely nominate Seward or Clase, we hold, with due submission, that the man for the hour is Edward Bates, of Missouri. Mr. Bates is com- mended to our judgment, because, while essen- tially a Republican, he has not bitherto been identified with our party, and is not exposed to the unjust prejudices which incessant misrepre- sentation has excited against our veteran leaders. Born, reared. and always residing ina slave Statr, will be morally impossible to make anybody believe that he meditates disunion us means of getting rid of slavery, or that his election would resuitin disunion ** Up-The Democrats of Baltimore met in the several wards last night to select delegates to meetin convention on Monday next to choose eleven delegates to represent the city in tle State Convention. The delegates thus elected for the eight lower wards with that part of Baltimore connuty composing the third Congressional Dis- trict, and from the twelve upper wards which constitute the 4th district, are also charged with the selection of delegates to represent these dis- tricts in the National Convention. The friends of Mr. Douzlas claim that at the primary elections lest night enough Douglas delegates were elected tocontrel the City Convention, thus securing a Douglas representation in the State Convention, 2nd also to render certain the election of Douglas delegates in both the third and fourth Congres- sonal districts; but this is denied point blank by those well posted in tbe political atfinities of the delegate The claim is made doubtless for ef- fect. Persenal. «-*: Rev. Dr. Sebon and family, of Nasbvil's, Tenn , are at Kirkwoods’. --- Major Albert Smith, Captains W.R. Sboe maker and Hitchcock, U.S. A_, are at Willards’. ---- Long John Wentworth bas again been nominated ior Mayer of Chicago by the Republi- cane. --- Mr. Frederick Southgate Brown his pe- titfoned the Louisiana Leyisigture to permit him to leave off the latter part of his name, leaving it Frederick Sontbyate, because Old John Brown has rendered the name infamous. ~ George Wilkes, of New York, one of the ssengers of the steamship City of Washington, id statercom entered on Satorday by some thief. who broke open his trunk aud riticd it of 150 in gold, and all the valuables it contained, besides letters of credit and of introduction. ~The editor of the Murfreesboro’ (N.C ) Citizen, writing from the -*Ocean House,"* Ports- miouth, Va., pokes fun at Miss Martha Haines Butt in the following cruel fashion: “Miss Martha Haines Butt is in town and creates a considerabie sensation. The protite of ber last book, -‘Leisure Moments."* it is said, will reach $60,060! !?° ---- B. H. Kinney, the Massachusetts sculptor, whose busts of Eli Thayer, Alien, the revolver patentee, and other notables. have attracted con- siderable attention at the Art Association Gallery, proposes, if an appropriation can be got from Congress, to execute an Equestrian Statue of La- fayette. ---- It is definitely announced that Messrs. Blackwood have in press, and will be published next month, a new story by the author of “Adam Bed entitled --The Mill on tke Floss,” “Floss,”* or *Flosche.” being (according to the Proviucial Glossary) Yorkshire for “the channel that receives the waste water from the mill-pond.”? Later From Hayti.—The John Brown Memo- rial Sere ces—Scenes in Hayt i Cathidral —By the arrival at Boston of the brig Monticello, we have received Hayti papers to the Ist instant. On Friday, January 2Utb, the grard solemn ser- ~vice in memory of John Brown, took place at the Cathedral. Although the ceremony did not hear an official character, President Geitrard with his wife and children were nt. During the day the flags were all kept half- mast, and the houses hung with black. Tbe church was draped in mourning, and in the middle of the nave was erected a cenotaph covered with crape, and illuminated by light ‘wax taj The ba ad part was covered with white serer on which was depicted a pen, a sword a Bible, with the inscription : A John Brown, Martyr dela Cause des Novos. The se: vices were celebrated with unusual reli- gious pom Abbe Moussa, an Afric1n, officiated at High Mass. M. M. Federique and Viesana both onounced from the pulpit eulogies of John rown. In the afternoon, a grand procession was made to the end of the city to a place known as the *-Martyr’s Cross,”’ where further religious ceromo- nies took place. The principal citizens of Port au Prince bave decided to wear mourning badges for three days. ac From Catirornia.—The San Francisco papers to the 2Uth ult. announce that the barks \What Cheer and Paye sailed from that on the 2ith ult., to obtain cargoes of fancy goods, * and other productions of that country, which have been recently sold at enormous profits. Some skiliful designers accompanied the Page, with the purpose of furnishing the Japanes+ mecbenics and @rtisis with models after which to manufacture articles better designed for the American market bond a igs’ the San Francisco fs in suc ‘ul operation, employing eighty operatives, and turning out 130 blankets daily. sf Resolutions had been introduced into the As- sembly declaring that the miners in quicksilver held tie same relations to the Government as the gold miners, and bes | Congress to procure the removal of the injunction which now prevents operations in the New Almaden quicksilver mines A vill bas been introduced for the enactinent of 2 law compelling the closing of bazaars, saloons, and r _— of tratlic on the Sabbrth day.

UF Our Minister resident to Heuduras, the Hon. Beveri: L.Clarl of abj teed ete bao formed in the ator —_6——— Tux Vircixia Convention.—The effort so &trongly made by @ov. Wise’s friends in the Virginia Convention to commit the Democracy to him has failed, as it deserved to fatl. Virginia adheres to her old usages, and will not throw her- self away, at least ‘‘without sufficient cause.’’ We do not believe there {s a single politician In Washington who thinks Gov. Wise could have the slightest prospect of a nomination at Charles- ton, even if Virginia supported him. He has ab- solutely no strength outside of the State. His candidacy at this time cannot benefit himself, and its only possible effect can be to injure Mr Hunter, and prevent Virginia from going for him at a time when all concede that he is one of the most available and popular names before the Convention. We remember to have read when young of 2 certain dog who amused himself by lying down on a manger of hay, which he, of course, could net eat, and would not suffer the ox toeat. This selfishnessand perversity of the “dog in the manger,”’ is not without its para!!el in the present action of the ex-Governor and his special friends. If he can't be President, he is deter- mined that Mr. Hunter shall not be; though in former years he is reported to have expressed his willingness “to crawl to Washington on his hands and knees to make Hunter President.” Now we do not wish from him any such demon- strations of affection at this time, and we do not think they would benefit Mr. Hunter very deci- dedly if he made them; but we should be glad to see the ex-Governor abandon a hopeless pursuit and cease his efforts to distract Virginia. Whether he does or not, we regard it as every way prob- able that the sagacious Democracy of Virginia Will yot fritter away their strength at Charleston upon Mr. Wise, or lend themselves to help out his ‘‘dog-in-the-manger”’ policy. In the foreguing we do not wish to commit our- selves to any one cf the Presidential candidates; but aim merely to expose a game that has been played to distract and paralyze the just and bene- ficial intluence of Virginia in Democratic Con- ventions. ———— A Battimorne Detecation.—Quite a number of Bultimereans, including Mr. French S. Evans and others of the Patriot newspaper division of Baltimore city Americans, came on from that city his morning, for the purpose of hearing the ex pected spec -h of Mr. Henry Winter Davis in reply to the resolutions of censure passed by the Mary- land Legislature upon his course in voting for Pennington for Speaker. > Tse Maryiaxn U.S rorsHip.—The in- telligence from Annapolis is to the effect tat the friends of Senator Pearce and of Mr. Long are on each side confident of success in gaining the Dem- ecratic nomination. Senator P. has addressed « letter to Mr. Blackistone, of the Maryland Senate, defining bis position, and positively avowing his Democracy, which it seems had been juestioned by his opponents. —w Cane Votep.—Among the on dits of the day upon the avenue is one to the effect that a number of the leading citizens of Columbia, S. C., have ordered the manufaeture of a palmetto cane. to be presented to Mr. Edmundson, of Va., 2s a testi- monial of their appreciation of his conduct in his late personal collision h Mr. Hickman. Orekatic Concert.—We hear that on Monday night next Medame Gazzaniga will appear in Operatic Concert in this city, for that night only, she being ¢n route to New Orleans to fill an en gagement. She will be supported by Signor ‘Tummaro, Carlos Shenal, and Signor Albites. ————— Rervsuican Exxcutive Commirrex.— At a meeting of the Republican Congressional Exec- utive Committee, held last evening, the following olticers were chosen: Hon. Preston King, of N_ ¥.,cha'rman; Hon. John Covode, of Pa., treas- urer; Mr. Harrington, of N. Y., secretary. ‘ — ‘Tue New Yorx Contxstsp ELEcTION Casz.— The case of Williamson against Sickles will be taken up again by the Committee on Elections to-day, and the arguments submitted on Thursday last reviewed a Exxcutive Recertion.— The fourth regular reception ef the season at the Executive Mansion takes place this evening from § to 10 o'clock. ————_.. ee UF The press of Maryland continue to express their dissent from the oppressive measures before the Legislature concerning the free colored popu- lation—said to number above ei ghty thousand in that State. The Cumberland Allegunien Ssays:— “<The supply of other labor, demanded by the withdrawal of so large a number of free negroes, might be filled with a population far more dan. gerous to the institution of slavery and the security of slave property than the free nezroes themselves. The increase of the free negro class, it must be conceded, is a crying evil, but even that, we think, might be managed without reconrse to such extreme measures as those proposed.”? ee {[9> The Eastern Argus, of Portland, Me.. ven- tilates some new charges against Mr. Neal Do: . of Maine law notoriety. ie. it appears, was one of the sureties of the defaulting State treasurer, Peck, who, in return, lent him (Dow) some nine or ten thousand dollars of the State's money. Upon the defaleation of Peck, it appears to he al- leged that Mr Dow assigned his property for the benetit of his own private creditors, and, having obtained access to Peck’s safe, the vouchers of his loan from the treasury disappeared Mv. Dow, however, says that the loan was repaid. eee eee A Coxpitionat Parvon.—k. T. Nichols, for- merly manager of the Cieveland Athenwum. who was two yeutrs since sent to the Ohio Penitentiary for six years, for a forgery committed upon his brother-in-law, (P.T.

The condition of the pardon requir the prisoner to return immediately to Cleveland, to be tried on another indictment still pending against him for forgery.

The Paragraph also denies that Redpath has left the country, but in- timates that he is concealed in Boston. ————— FemaLe Heroism —A big negro attempted to rob the house of Mr. A. 8, Solomon, Lexington avenue, New k, lately. He had made upa bundle of goods, with M) cash in it, and was making off, when he was met on the stairs by Mrs. Solomon, who contested the bundle with him After striking her several blows without conquet- ing her, he took to his heels sinus his plunder. SS ae anaes i A letter from Sagua La Grande says that the United States steamers Mohawk and Crusader are so vigilant in hunting for American slavers on the north side of the island that interested Parties now order their vessels on the south side. The same letter states that nearly all the slavers are now leaving the island with Mexican papers, and three steamers are fitting out in Havana. 1 [7 Saturday night was one of the roughest ever known on Long Island Sound.

She last saw her father three days before hisexecution, when she was taken into his cell and bade him & very affectionate farewell. She was passionately attached to him, and continued to the hour of her death to deplore his cruel (and to her mysterious) fate, the particulars of which had been communi- cated to her by heraunt. She could not under- stand why her father should be bung, and fre- quently ai her belief in his innocence of the crime charged against him. On her death-bed she repeatedly yed that God might have mercy on those who brought him tosuchanend But a short time previons to expiring, she bade an affectionate farewell to all in ber presence, among whom were the Rev Mr. Skinner and other members of the Methodist Church. She clasped a cousin, a youth of about ten years of age, about the neck, and entreated him to meet her in heaven, where she expected to be with her father and mother shortly, and where she prayed that all might come. The child’s ail- ment, according to the testimony of her physician, was “trouble;”’ she appeared to pine away at the thought of the fate which had befallen her father and mother. At 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, she was buried in the same grave with her pa- rents, in Greenwood Cemetery.

A m e was received from the President of the United States, communicating four memorials of residents at the eastern of the Roc! Mountains, asking the extinguishment of the In- dian title, a survey and sale of the public lands, the establishment of an assay office, and the erec- tioh of a new Territory from contiguous portions of New Mexico, Utah, Kansas, and Nebraska, &c.; which was referred to the Commitee on Ter- ritories and ordered to be printed. The President says that these memorialists invoke the interpo- sition of Congress and the Execitive, and recom- mends that such provision may be made for the protection and prosperity of our fellow-citizens at and near the slope of the Rocky Mountains as their distance and the exigencies of their con- dition may require. Mr. Fitch submitted the following resolution, which was laid over under the rule: Resolved, That the Committee on Public Print- ing be directed to inquire and report whether the contract made by the Secretary of the Senate with Mrs. Adeline Sergeant, and renewed, with modi- fications. on the Leth and. 17th of February, 1860, for binding the reserved nunibers of Senate docu- ments, is authorized by law; and if so, what the terms and conditions, express and septieg such contracts are and have been, and in at manner the work has been executed under it; and that the Superintendent of Public Printing be di- rected to cause all work to be withheld and all proceedings suspended under such contract until such joquley and furtber order of the Senate. Mr. Hamlin presented a petition from A. Bosch- ke, asking an appropriation to defray his expenses in making a minute and accurate survey of the District of Columbia, engraving the map, and furnishing the Government with 1,000 copies. The resolution from the House of Representatives for the appointment of committees to revise the joint rules of the two Houses was, on motion by Mr. Bright, taken up and agreed to; the commit- tee on the part of the Senate to consist of three, and to be appointed by the Vice President. ‘The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the special order, being the resolution sub- mitted by Mr. Davis affirming the rights of the Southern States under the guarantees of the Con- stitution, Mr Clark addressed the Senate at considerable length; after which, the bill reported by Mr. Sit- dell from the select committee in relation to bank notes in the District of Columbia was taken up Mr. Simmons was about addressing the Senate on the bill when a message was received from the other House announcing the death of the fon Win.

Mr. Gireen gave notice that he would resist any attempt to pass the bill without reference, as the committee now bad a bill on that su ject before them.
