Our Boston Boston, March 16, 1854. The New Hampshire Blection—St. Patrick's Day—Constis tutional Statisties—The Supreme Court and the Liquor Law—More ‘Know Nothing’? Victories—Congressional Election—“The Barclays of Boston’’—Character of the Work, and Characters in the Work—Errors—Mr. Shil- laber’s New Book, from the “Partington Papers —New and Great Hotel. The democrats breathed easier this morning, on being ‘Sesured by the telegraph that there was a majority in the New Hampshire House of Representatives in their favor Of ten, to be increased, it is probable, to sixteen—a great thing to brag over, when one recollects that the demo- cratic majority in that body, last year, was eighty-nine. No account is taken, either, of the dozen members of the «old guard,” who belong to the democratic side of the House,and who will be very influential in that body. It isa great pity that Mr. Burke failed of an election. ‘There is not a eensible democrat who does not see that his party bas been beaten badly. I have heard the remark made fifty times within the last three days, that the administration has received a terri- Die defeat, procee dfrom the staunchest democrats in our State. They regret the result deeply, but they have too much sense to endeavor to disguise a fact simply because it is disagreeable.

Mr. Philip Egerton is supposed to be im- mensely rich, and to have made @ fortune in China, the popular notion being that he had buried immense sums of & im his garden, which, accordingly, some en‘ ing ‘ankees secretly treated as @ placer. It turns out, how- ever, that Mr. Fgerton’s property existed only in the imaginations of bis contemporaries, so that, when death called upon him to come “down with his dust,’ he had but little more than his body with which to | meet the peremptory demand.

But who, you may ask, were the “Barclays?!” The} were a wealthy model family, and very perfect in respects, Mr. John Barclay is very rich, and has three daughters and a son. The son is a bobbledehoy, but the daughters are angels. The eldest of these damaels makes his country and joined the Spaniards : hated by those whom he betrayed, detested and distrusted by those whom he nominally serves, and compelled to bear the blame of everything. Your very clever Concord correspondent, ‘‘W.,’’ whose letters have been read by every one here, hit the result previousto the election better than any one else. It has come out almost to the slightest figure as he predicted. It is not often that a man makes #0 good a shot with a grey goose shaft, by which I mean a pen of steel, or sil- ver or gold. ‘The Irish made no parade yesterday, though it was St. Patrick’s day. If I am correctly informed, it was thought unadvisable to engage in any public movements, not exactly from feer of the Know Nothings,”” but be- cause in th f the public mind prudence dictated 1 not answer for the correctue account, but give it as Thear it, and not caring one straw about the matter: The report of the Coch ¢ Water Poard shows that uring the last year the quantity of water consumed in Boston, drawn from the Brooklyn reservoir, was ~ 8,436,817,500 gallons. An equal quantily, and one hun- red million gallons beside, was wasted at the outlet dam. The number of water takers, including public Duildings, was 18,170. The daily average of consumption was 8,652,300 gallons, or 55 gallons to each inhabitant. The receipts were $197,190, and those of the present year are estimated at $215,000, The whole cost of the works up to January 1, 1864, was $5,674,828. ‘The estimated saving to the city, in the fre department's expenses, through Cochituate water, ia $51,705. Our temperance people feel worse xbout the decision of the Supreme Court against the fourteenth section of the Maine law, than they thought could poayibly be the case. It had’ been given out for some days that the ‘court was about to decide against the constitutionality of the fourteenth section, x0 they were tolerably prepared for it; but they were not prepared for so sweeping & condemnation of their pet measure as came from our highest tribunal. There is so much insinuated against the whole law in the Court’s opinion, that no one of their number is certain that the whole statute will not finally ‘be cleared away simply through judicial decisions, or all that they value in it. That any future law that can be made will fare any better, is also a subject for them to think upon with as much coolness as they can. They have been #0 accustomed to consider themselves incapa- Ble of doing wrong, 80 long as they should Le laboring in Behalf of temperance, holding that such an ond is capable of justifying any means,that they can scarcely believe that the court has decided adversely to their ideas Yet there is nothing new in the language embodying the decision of the court. There is not 2 point made in that decision which Was not brought forward, with more or less dis- tinctness, when the law was under discussion in the Le- lature, or by the press at the same time. The court’s ‘uage may be more critically correct, and it certainly is judicially calm; but there is nothing ‘in the “opinion? that has not been sald, over and over again, to the friends of the law. ‘They used to pay no attention to it, and now they are compelled to notice it. So much for ‘speaking by authority. ‘The subject of so amending the law as to make it con- stitutional and stringent, is now before a special commit- tee of the Legislature. The votes in the House, when this committcs was appointed, — indicate that the temperance people can do pretty much as they please in that body; but it is thought that the Senate will put a stop to any measures that may go through the other Lranch. This would be in ac cordance with the old whig practice, previous to their defeat in 1850. The prosecutions of liquor sellers are going on with great vigor, which does not look as if the friends of the law felt sitogether discouraged. | Still, T think that their position has been considerably damaged here, What may set them up is the folly of the rum men, who do not bear their triumph with so much grace as they ought. They do wot seem to recollect that the de- cision was not made in favor of rum, but to render se- cure the enjoyment of the rights of persons and of Pithe tic ries in Mases ww Nothings’ have been winning more victo- election of a Mayor of Salem, jn consequence of Mr. Newcowb having refused to take the * to Which he had been chosen, occurred on the 1¢th.

The nothings’? cast 1,251 votes, and the whigs 511 ; majority of the former 740, which was not a bad day's work, es- pecially as the whiga were quite anxious for a new fight, And proposed giving their opponents a regular beatin: for having had the audacity to “molest their ancient, solitary reign.’? The beating took place, but the cat-o nine tails was in the other hand, and the whigs appeared as Titus Oates, being not their only appearance in that aracter. be Lynn the fight was much stiffer, and the whigs made a very near approzch to victory. ‘The largest yote ever thrown in that city was cast on that occasion. The whig candidate was Mr. Baker, a very popular man, and his op- nent was Mr. Newhall, also a whig; but whigism is ist now a negative quality with most people, and it ‘would hardly answer to rely upon the intensity of a man’s | revious attachment to the whig party because he had Formerly ‘acted with it, People sometimes leave old and worn out parties, and become attached to more *‘ healthy organizations ;””'and a very wise proceeding such a change not unfrequently turns out to be.

What is more, this same whig is op: joned to the Nebraska bill, xo that one of the admin! ration’s officers is favorable to the election of a man who will do all that he can to prevent the success of a measure that the President declares to be the very a of his eye, but which others call the apple of discord. The President and every member of the Cabinet, ex- epting Mr. Marcy, have been secking to get the vote of ine of our delegation for the Nebraska bill, but without mecess. There is every reason for believing that every nember from Massachusetts will be against the bill. I have just read Mrs. Harrison Grey Otis’s novel, “The Barclays of Boston,” which was published this , but a copy of which I obtained » day in ad- yonce, of Reading, the Hrratp’s Boston agent. ‘The vook will probably disappoint many readers, for though it is lecidedly clever, it is not exactly what was ox- pected, if I may juige by what was said in advance of its appearance.

As the lady who has given us this book thas passed her American life in our ‘ best society,” her account of it must be accurate. People who write, or ‘who attempt to write, novels of society, generally fail from one of two causes:—First, from want of familiarity with that order of social life which they aim to de- lineate, and which no degree of talent can supply; and in the second place, from lack of talent, which prevents hem from turning their experience to account.

The fault is not in her, but in her subject. Her book shows that she bas talent, hu- mor, and acquirements, a very keen sense of the ludi- erous, and a thorough appreciation of the foibles of hu- manity. It strikes m st she is too good-natured to be leat, which is a sure way of succseding as a writer. we delights in seandal, and censure and carica- dure, and more than one writer has gained fame and for- a x ing to ite amiable appetites in this re a for story, Mra.

ITEMS AND GOSSIP ON THE NEBRASKA QUESTION. The Ohio resolutions against the Nebraska bill were laid on the table in the State Senate on the 13th inst., to be taken up when the Senate had nothing else to do. ‘The anti-Nebraska State convention of Ohio is to meet at Columbus on Wednesday next, the 22d inst. ‘The tables of the Ohio Legislature, we should think, would groan under the weight of the numerous Nobrasks resolutions which have been. laid upon them. As s kind of compromise, the following were offered in the House of Representatives on the 15th inst.:— Resolved, by the General Assewbly of the State of Ohio, ‘That our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Rep- resentatives requested, to inalat upon ‘the insertion in any bill for tho organization of a Territory, and to support no bill which does not contain the following provisions :— 1. An explicit declaration of the right of the people, through their Territorial legislature, to form and regu- late their loca) institutions, inel the question of slavery, and to exercise the ‘same during the period of | their territorial existence, as well a in the adoption of | a State constitution. | 2. That sll executive and judicial officers of the Terri- tories shall be chosen by the qualified electors thereof. 3. That all white male iahabitants over twenty-one | years of age, including those who have declared their in- | tention to become ci of the United States, shall be | entitled to vote and hold ee AN 4.

Tho exer- tions and yells of that crushed and despised faction, are the only impotent evidences of vitality that it cau now exhibit. The fanglesa viper can hiss, but it cansot wound. The South is now potential in the Senate, omni- potent with the President, and the speedy passage of the Nebraska bill by the House of Representatives, will demonstrate that we have abolitionism in every form and shape under our feet.” A large and enthusisatic meeting of the friends of the Nebraska movement was held in Annapolis, Md., on the Sth inst.

That is a do- mestic matter of each State, in which each is sovereign. | Fifteen of the States allow a large portion of their popu- ation, (the slaves) as many wives as their masters please, and as many concubines as they cxn get. A ma- é ag every man to keep as many concubines as he con hire, and turn them off when he ployses. and consign them to poverty and destruction. In all the States vast numbers are publicly kept as common prostitutes, and ither Congress or any other power bas been appealed to. But because the Mormons in Utah have, like the ‘uritane in New Fogland. determined to be governed by | the laws of God, they must, forsooth, be refused admis- sion into the Union. Does not republicaniam itself guaranty to Utah the right of self-government? Have not they the same right ts establish polgamy, that Michi- gan has to prohibit it, and establish duality?’ Is the re- publicanism of America a reality, or is ita false pretence, a.swindle? Nothing can be clearer than that if the people of Utah see fit to institute and practice polygamy, no er on earth can legally prevent them. The cols real digiculty in the matter will arise when those who have been legally married in Utah to a number of wives, choose to go with their wives to reside in other States. Marriage in all the States is a civil contract, and the go- neral rule is, that if the contract is valid when made, it will be enforced everywhere. But this rule is not uni- versal. Conflicts are likely to grow up on this quostion. In the ease of Indians married in their own country, and of @ few Turks and Chinese sojourning for a short time in the States, their polygamy has been winked at, and the courta have not determined the rule of law in the Pre- | mires. But it is doubtful whethe: will be extended to the Mormons. Tae Mrcnro.

[Correspondence of the Charieston Courier. ] ‘WasainaTor March 9, 185: ‘The Landed Estate of Mrs. Gwin in Tezas—Richard P. Robinson's A, in its I. ‘The good fortune which has recently befallen the esti- mable lady of Senator Gwin, of California, is a topic of much remark in social circles here. The circumstances under which this lady has received @ very considerable accession of property are of such an interesting and even romantic cl that an allusion to them ma: not be considered out of place. It seems that Gwin was first married to a Mr. Logan, an extensive landowner and trader in Texas, During the revolution- ary troubles in that State, while Mrs. was 60- journing in Kentucky with her friends, Mr. sud- denly died without leaving s will. By the law of Texas @ widow is entitled to succeed to the entire property of her deceased husband: ‘The estate of Mr was, how- ever, admin! upon by his partner, the property without regard to the rights of the widow. Although Mrs. she had been defrauded of her property, she did not deem it advisable to prosecute her claim in'the courts of Texas in the then disturbed condition of affairs In that country. After her marriage with Dr. Gwin, however, she w Doctor, partly from motives of delicacy and partly be- cause his attention was e1 by his own business, neglected to gered steps in the matter. In this posi- tion the affair until the Doctor’s arrival at New York from California, last fall. When in New York an annonymous letter was Riess in his hand, signed “Justice,’”? the writer of which stated that undera recent decision of the Supreme Court of Texas, Mrs. Gwin was clearly entitled to a large amount of landed property in that State. Not knowing, of course, what reliance to place upon such a statement, ning Coe an anony- mous source, the Doctor concluded let the matter stand until he should meet with Senator Rusk, of Texas, from whom he might obtain information which would ba more satisfactory. Senator Rusk did not arrive in Washington until after the session was somewhat advanced. Immediately after his arrival the matter was mentioned to him, and he fully confirmed all the statements of the letter, and further announced that a distinguished lawyer of Texas had come on to Washington for the expross purpose of consulting with Dr. Gwin in regard to taking proper steps to secure the pussession of this property. At a subsequent inter- view, this legal gentleman stated that by the old law of Texas, an administrator was obliged to renew his bond every year. The administrator of Mr. Logan had failed to do this, and his sales were made after the expiration of a year from the time when he entered upon his duties, and were consequently void. The Supreme Court had lately decided that this old law was now in full force, and under this decision Mrs. Gwin’s right to the proporty thus sold, is indisputable. The property in question con- sists of from 50,000 to 100,000 acres of land, worth from two dollars to twenty dollars per acre. It is not the least singular circumstance in this case, that there is reason to believe that the writer of the ano- nymous letter referred to, was Richard P. Robinson, who, some years ago, attained notoriety from his connection with ‘the mysterious tragedy of the murder of Helen Jeweit, in New York. Robinson now resides in Texas, and he bas been heard to express feelings of gratitude to- wards Dr. Gwin for his kindness to him some years ago, when, an ontenst from society, he was wandering in Mis: bord ty Dr. Gwin does not remember this circumstance, but it seems that Robinson does, gnd has availed himself ofan ne § to return remembered kindness. It is i remarkable coincidence that Robinson’s pret wife is also indebted to the kindness of Mrs. Gwin for assistance some years ago, when she was in trouble. It was in pro- secuting » lain of his wife's, to some property in Texas, jn Robinson ascertained the position of Mrs. Gwin’s es- tate. ‘The circumstances connected with this affair invest it with all the attractions of fiction. It is a gratifying re- flection, however, to the friends of a Indy who is deserved- ly admired and’ respected, that this history, though strange as fiction, is nevertheless true. s Mrver’s Srrixe 1x Cumpernann, Mp.
