THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY.. March #, 1860. Spirit ef the Morning Press. The Constitution notes the exchange of ratifica- tions of the treaty of commerce and navigation and of the special convention with Paraguay, at the State Department yesterday, and comments favorably*upon the merits of the documents thus ratified and exchanged. % The Intelligencer has its usual editorial Con- gressional summary and news miscellany. ———_+20e-__—_- I> General Whitney was presented with a splendid service of plate by the armorers of Springfield, Mass., on the occasion of his taking final official leave of them on last Saturday. {7 The Toronto (C.

In most cases they are to delivered for shipment from the American Gulf ports. the orders coming from agents of Spanish and Mexican houses. I> We take the following from the editoriay columns of the Charleston Courier, which thus confirms the statements contained in the para- graph: Boarp at CaaLestox.—The Augusta Consti- tutionalist says :—We are informed, on what we ard as reliable authority, that the hotels in Charleston will nace five dollars per day for board during the sitting of the Democratic Na- tional Convention. We hear it stated also that this charge will commence several days before the Conveution convenes. The opinion prevails that the Convention will be in session from two to three weeks. The ex- pense, therefore. for board alone, will be about one hundred and fifty dollars for each delegate in attendance at the Convention. Visitors to Charles- ton will, of course, be charged the same price. Tux Cast oF Stevens anv Haziett.—The Richmond Enquirer denies a telegraphic report in the New York Herald that Gov. Letcher assured Mr. Sennott, the counsel of the insurgents, Stevens and Hazlett, that he should have a hearing before the proper legislative committees in behalf of his clients. The Enquirer says : ~‘ Both in Charlestown and in Richmond. in reply to appeals from Mr. Sennott, Gov. Letcher positive ly refused to take any step that might in- re with the strict execution of the sentence of the prisoners. It was not in the least through his agency that Mr. Senuott yesterday obtained perm: ion from both Houses of the Legislature to present his case to the two committees of the two Houses. Mr. Sennott will be res tfully listened to by the two committees on ‘ bursday evening.’’ The dispatch in the Herald, above alluded to, farther states that Mr. Sennct had an interview with President Buchanan on Saturday last, in the bope of obtaining his personal influence with the Governor and Legislature of Virginia to ob- tain their pardon. That the President treated Mr Sennot kindly, and expressed to bim his ‘warmest sympathies and the hope that he will succeed in bis mission; bat, while be did not de- cline to act directly, he did not promise to take action.

By and through that delinquency only, were the resolutions of Messrs. Covode and Hoard recently. Had they been offered in good faith, of course there would have been no Democratic op- position to them. But it is well known that their | sole purpose was to get upasort of “Charley Ogle gold spoons” sensation for the benefit of the Re- publican party’s cause, as wholly unfounded upon 4ruth as Ogle’s never-to-be-forgotten movement is now universally admitted to have been. Con- sidering the late doubling of the pay of the mem- bers, and that that increase of their compensation has been attended with a halving of the length of the long session—which makes the sum paid them under the new system three or four times as much per diem of actual service in the hall as under the old—it strikes us that the occurrence of such in- juries to the Democratic party through the im- paired non-attendance of Democratic members is wholly inexcusable. ae ~Tug New York anp Paxnsytvaxta Deizca- TIONS TO CHARLESTON.—We are beset with in- quiries as to who is to receive the votes of these delegations in the Charleston Convention. We answer thus that the members of them (those del- egations) have not as yet even the remotest idea upon whom they will concentrate., We are, how- ever, very sure that they will go to Charleston perfectly willing to support the candidate for the nomination who, on consultation with the dele- gations from the other States, shall be regarded 48 most likely to triumph if nominated. They will both surely act in concert with the delega- tions from the Democratic States in the belief that the only way of conserving the permanent as- cendency of the party is to stand firmly by its ancient principles, which are of course much more consistently cherished by the party in such States, than where to succeed once ina while it is necessary for it to play pig or Puppy, as occa- sion may require. . ——=.- CaHoovLE-ino.—Quite a number of leading politicians from all quarters of the country and of all parties are now here, their errand being to influence the action of the three grand conven- tions soon to come off. From now until after these conventions the number will doubtless daily increase, with the increased anxiety of such gentlemen about the results of the conventions. Congress, too, is busily engaged in similar labors, the members being very generally partizans of this or that aspirant for a Presidential nomina- tion, where not themselves candidates. So {n- tensely are all the politicians now here thus en- gaged, as that the public may expect the trans- action of precious little real business by either House until the Chicago Convention—the ast to come off—shall have been held =a Tue WeatHer.—The following report of the weather for the morning is made from*the Amer- isan Consolidated Telegraph Line to the Smith- sonian Inatitution.

Tuesday —The report of the committee on the case of Wm.H Wilson, charged by Dr. Kurtz, of Baltimore, with practicing frauds in certain investments, was read. The committee report that seven of the nine specifications in the charge had been sustained, but the committee were of opinion they did not establish an intention of fraud; that he bad been guilty of improprieties, and that he be admonished by the Conference to be more careful hereafter in his business transac- tions. A number of speeches were made on the ques- tion of allowing Dr. Kurtz to withdraw certain papers which he desired to use in taking the case fore another tribunal. Finally. it was decided. to admit him to withdraw such papers as were necessary for bis case. The question then came up, shall the character of Wi‘tiam H. Wilson pass? This also elicited a great deal of discussion Rev. John Thrush said he could not, inthe fear of God, vote to pass Wilsou’s character until he had exhibited more of the character of a Christizn than he had done. Rev. Jobn Gilbert said that he knew Wilson wel!, and he was a man who wassharpon a trade. Wilson was naturally a shrewd man in business aud the man who dealt with him must keep his eyesopen. He, however, believed Wilson to be a true Christian Rev. E. R. Veitch ingu‘red of Mr. Thrush what he meant by the remerks in regard to Wil- son’s Christian demeanor. Rev. W.G. Eggleston said he could not vote in favor of Wilson if Mr. Gilbert had given a true representation of his character. A Methodist preacher should be one to be trusted under all circumstances. Mr. Gilbert said Wilson was not the only Metb- odist preacher who he would watch in business transactions. Rev. Mr. Clemm hoped Gilbert would cease speaking and set down. Rev. Mr. Gilbert hoped the Chair would pro- tect him from being insulted. Rev. L. F. Morgan stated that Wilson was much cast down at the verdict of the Committee, but did not design taking an appeal. Rev. John Thrush ex; jalned bis remark in r- gard to Wilson. He referred to the treatment of Wilson to Kurtz since the Committee had agreed on their report. 2 ‘She vote was then taken, and the character of Wilson was A motion was made, at Wilson’s request, to cbange his relation to super- numerary, which was by a vote of 68 to 45. The report of the Committee on the Tem perance Canse was read. It recognizes the causeas one or vital importince, aud recommends that one eer- mon be preached at every appointment during the year, and also one on the Sabbath preceding the Fresidential election. The report wat adopted Dr. Nadal presented a report from the Com. mittee on the Metropolitan Chureb. The report states the value of the lot is $15,000 or $20,000; upon which there is a debt of $4,400, and says the foundations are a standing reproach to the Church. ‘The committee did not recommend any means 01 relief, but wish the Conference to pass resolutions os of the sense of the body on the matter. - Ryan advocated with much earnestness the completion of the Church On motion, the report was laid on tlie table for the present.
