THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CITY: FRIPay. s+-nesMay 25, 1860, Spirit of the Morning Press. « The Constitution having been requested by the Providence Pest to stand by its record, replies ‘that it does that thing, and in turn requests the Post to stand by its record, &c. The Constitution thinks that the disturbance of ‘he late Republican meeting in this city has been exaggerated by correspondents of Republican journals, and by the journals themselves. The Intelligencer is devoted to Congressional Proceedings and news. ——_—-+20e- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. + A Prain Tacx ox Munictrat Arrarns —Yes- terday the House of Representatives struck out of ‘the General Appropriation bill containing it, the clause appropriating five hundred thousand dol- Jars for continuing the work upon the extension of the Capitol, having previously, in Committee of the Whole, struck out of another sucb bili, the clause appropriating thirty thousand dollars for the Auxiliary (Police) Guard of the Federal Me- tropolis. That man must be mentally blind who does not comprehend that such Congressional legisla- tion is fraught with most disastrous consequences to every property-holder, every merchant and tra- der, and every mechanic and laborer in our midst, Whether dealing directly with the Government or not. The adoption of such a policy towards Wash- Angton city on the part of those members who have adopted it, usually most liberal of all the House in legislating for the Federai Metropolis, has its origin, evidently in the existence of a state of things against which the Star, at least, has labored with unremitted fidelity. In the persist ent identification of politics with our municipal affairs, which has notoriously worked out here precisely such consequences to the public peace 2nd order, and to the economy and integrity of our municipal taxation and disbursements, as it had previously worked out in every northern city. it Is well known to ali that previous to and during the last municipal canvass, officious small politicians banded themselves into self-appointed committees, and instituted a system of espionage with reference to the politics of nearly every laborer and mechanic In the government employ- ment among us, holding over them the terrible rod of the loss of their bread and that of their families unless they voted (in our municipal elec- tions) to suit the views and purposes of the self- created regulators of their political conduct ‘Though they received no word of encouragement ia that work from the Federal Administration, their success in obtaining on various pretences public employment for more or less of their boot- heeling and brickbatting instruments, and in Keeping in such employment others whose busi- ness was notoriously rather to aid in dragooning their feliow-workmen politically, gave them such power and Influence over the minds aud necessi- ties of the employed generally, as to constitute such government employees here according to the un- derstanding of all parties, a political force to be wielded with immense effect which ever way the governing power indicated above, might elect to wield it. We will only remind the city reader of tue fact that in the published accounts of the riots ‘that disgraced the Federal Metropolis during the Yast Mayoralty canvass, the names of various in- dividual obscure employees upon the extension of ‘the Capitol were perhaps most conspicuous among those of the stereotyped violators of the public All that occurred nominally for the benefit of the Democratic party. We write nominally, be- ‘cause we have ever protested, as all will remem- ber, agaiust the identification of the Democratic Pparty’s cause with any such atrocious means of ‘working out to successful issue the schemes of the pestiferous elements that had combined to use Mhe shield of the Democratic party’s name for their own personal advantage in the future of our municipal affairs. We dreaded the result that wuch a state of things was sure, sooner or later, to ‘bring about. Namely: to induce the anti-Demo- erats of Congress in legislating for the future con- tinuance of work upon the extension of the Capi- tol, to refuse to appropriate until satirtied that what they might thus appropriate should not con stitute, in a greater or less degree. 2 fund for the denefit of the nominal Democratic side in our municipal politics. Our thought was for the fature prosperity and interest of the property, holders of Washington, and for the bread of the thousands of mouths among us that depended for bread more or less upon the continuance of that work. No sensible man can blame the oppost- tion in Congress for doing in this case precisely what the Democracy of the body would have done bad the same policy been successfully car- ried out by a like band of irrespousible anti- Democratic party municipal politicians. Viz for refusing to vote a dollar to carry on a work wherein those engaged upon it were as far as pos- sible banded into political clubs to operate against them—the Democracy. That is, for ao refusing, until satisfied that the practice had been broken So, too, in the case of the refasal of the House #0 far to appropriate another dollar for the contin- uance of the Auxiliary Guard of Washington at the expense of the Government. The members of the House who voted against it have seen, as clearly as all fair-minded men saw, that in the last mayoralty election, the city’s police was simply a huge well-organized and unscrupulous political machine, operating to deter timid voters cf the opposition from exercising their rights of citizen- ship, by directly and indirectly aiding and abet- ing the perpetration of the outrazes that mark: d the cendnet of the gangs of rowdies who, under the names of States Hose, Rams, &c., made night dangerous to the lives of all peaceable citizens of the Federal metropolis, and day hideous, by their shameless violation of the city’s peace, nominally for the benefit of the Democratic party's cause. They (the Opposition members of Congress) know as well os cthers do, that the leaders and most desperate characters identified with the States Hose were in the pay of those who then as- sumed to lead in the Democratic party's causa as involved in our municipal affairs; aud that more or less of them were duly provided for with places under the municipal government after the elec- tion. That a large band of the most abandoned des- Peradoes that Baltimore contained, were brought here, their expenses, paid, &c » for the benetit of the nominal Democratic cause as involved in that election; and that for weeks before and after that election, as well as on the election day, that gang, the States Hose and the Rams, made the life of every man in Washington Positively and pal- pably unsafe. They know, further, that the only Possible justification for saddling the tax-payers of Washington with some thirty thousand dol- lars per annum additional tax for Police expenses now bei |, Was to guard the future of the city agai. very means resorted to to elect the present incumbent in the Mayoralty—agains' the States Hose, Rams, Baltimore rowdy importa- tiens, &c.; the similar riotous clubs who essayed ke services in behalf of the Know Nothing Party, having been fairly conquered, driven out, and extinguished by the previous municipal (Mayor Magruder’s) administration. k They also know, as well as thousands of others do, that the police of Washington are the reu- tem these! creme here, the a a te the political action of tte Gow. uate the control of ters than theirs bas been for two years past, was never essayed in New York, of in Baltimore even. ‘They know, too, that not a inger was raised by the Washington po!ice on Saturday night last, to Protect from outrage end insult an Opposition Political meeting, when assailed Dy just such a mob as so frequestly canvess F7 “ao elrcumstances, Is it not idle te ex. ‘@ppropriations from Congress for the nite of the Federal Metropolis, untii may be some guarantee that a change for the better is to be boped for? . ° disgraced our last Mayoralty | being of our city to break up the employment of policemen here according to their politics, and their habit of being political partizans. We doubt not that when Congress perceives that the people of Washington are in earnest in the pur- pose of separating our municipal affairs, and es- pecially the police, from politics, and thus guaranteeing equal political rights to all parties in the District of Columbia, that the customary police appropriations will be cheerfully voted. It will be remembered, further, that no bill has been reported this session for the contifrance of the work upon the Washington Aquedact, for which a millioa at least should rightfully be voted. No more serious blow could be struck at our city’s future than a refusal to continue that So necessary work. Seeing these things as we do see them, it is but the Star’s duty to discuss this subject thus plainly to its city readers. Their prosperity hinges upon the regard of all parties in Congress for our city’s interests, and the Star's prosperity depends wholly upon theits. It has no othercare than the interests of the District of Columbia. It has not yet, nor will it ever, permit political considerations to stand between itand its duty to the District at large without thought of party. In the name of the real Democracy of Washington, it has repeat- edly protested against the practice by sinister per- sons for their own ends—nominally for the benefit of Democracy—of reprehensible acts such as it so fiereely combatted when essay ed here for the ben- efit of the Know Nothing cause; and its Democ- racy is by no means of that school which would lead it to wink at, palliate, or justifiy such acts, be they essayed for whom and by whom they may. An the present attitude of the Opposition of the Houre to our city’s interests, we trust all will see the wisdom of the Star’s persistent opposition to making politics a question in the employment of mechanics and laborers by the Government here, and to the continued prevalence of politics in our municipal affairs, when this city’s corporation matters, if those of no other American city. should be kept sacred from their contaminating influence. ~—— Tue Four Japanese Ennassapvors, with four others of the suite, the next highest in rank, will visit the President at six o'clock this afternoon, when they will be handsomely entertained by the President.

As t! ey are somewhat remarkable, I think it worth while to acquaint your readers with the purport of them, in order that they may beve a more thorough knowledge of Japanese manners and official eti- uette. n their first presentation they regarded themselves as the immediate representatives of the Tycoon, approached the President in pro- found silence, bowing three times as they ad- vanced, and after Foie J @ moment retired, with a like number of bows, and passed agalu into the Blue Room. After an interval they again ap- peared, but this time in the character of Embas- sadors, bearing with them the autograph letter of the Tycoon to the President, and advancing again with three bows as before, they presented the let- ter. and the ceremonies of speech making and presentation proceeded as we have described them in our former correspondence. W heneve the Envoys advanced or retired, the servants in the hall behind them simultaneously bent the knee as a mark of reverence to their superiors This being done with military precision, edded to the jinposi ce of the ceremonies “When the Emba lors had finally retired, and the fold: doers had heen closed, an inter- esting ceremony took place in the ordinary recep- tion room of the White House, which, at the request of the Embassadors, was made strictly rivate. They had requested to be preseated to iss Lane, and the ladits of the Cabinet. These ladies were assembied accordingly, and the Fm- bassadora were presented to each of them in tern; and they afterwards expressed themselves highly gratified with the manner in which they were received, As illustrating the Smiportance they attach to etiquette, they positively refused to allow any other ladies to be presented to them at the President's Louse, cousidering it a want of respect to so high an official.’ Imrogtant Rattroap Movewent.—A very large and enthusiastic railroad meeting w at Harrisburg, Pa., on Wednesday, composed strong deleyations from the ter of the State and elsewhere. of the Supreme Court, presided, number ef vice presidents Attorney General of the United States, t with Col.
