The person who arrived stated that no Gespatches had reached the camp from Governor Cumming; bot this is undoubtedly a mistake, as an officer of the army, writing on the 6th ultimo, states that an express from the Governor had just arrived at the camp with intelligence that Governor 18 had arrived there, bringing news that an expreas ‘was cold and stormy, the duties of the soldiers very harassing, and the provisions rapidly diminishing, with s certainty of o resort to mule steaks and even coarser fare. There is, moreover, no prospect of any immediate relief for them, as the supply trains have been, if not stopped entirely, at least seriously re- tarded in their progress across the plains by heavy now storms and swollen streams. A despatch from New Orleans states that the Vi- ——- a, wl eP2 FR = it elected by less than three hundred majority, while several Know Nothing nominees were defeated. In Congress yesterday the Senate was engaged on the Army Appropriation bill, which was finally pamed. The amount involved in this bill is $17,000,- 000. A bill was introduced repealing the Atlantic telegraph act of March, 1857. The bill providing for the ocean postal service was taken ap, bat the Benate adjourned without making any progress on tt. The House was engaged in discussing, in com mittee, the amendments to the Miscellaneous Appro- priation bill. The Willett’s Point Investigating Committee presented their reports. The substance of them is given under the telegraphic head. There is # report from Washington that a chal. lenge passed yesterday between Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana, and Davis, of Missiasippi, in conse- quence of offensive language used in debate on the Army bill. 't ‘© believed, however, that throngh the intercession of trends the affair has already been @atisfactorily arranged, or is in progress of adjust- Tent. Our Belize (Honduras) correspondent farnishes an interesting letter, dated May 21. The Legidatare had passed a new law for regulating salvage claims, directing the awards to be made by port wardens in- ttead of the arbitrators heretofore called on to act. ‘The sum of fifteen hundred dollars had been appro- priated for the purchase of a mall fire engine in New York, and if the machine gave satisfaction, five others, with two ladder tracks, would be ordered from our builders. The crops of mahogany and log ‘wood were large. Sogar and rom had falien greatly in price, with great quantities on hand. Sugar could not be sold at four cents per pound. Trade was ex. ceedingly dull in Belize, and all the merchants were selling by retail. It was reported that Hondoras ‘and Guatemala had declared war against each other, and @ number of people had left Truxillo and moved into Roatan for safety. The colony of Roatan was Progressing in wealth and social comfort, and Eng NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1858 ‘ land was evideatly endeavoring to fasten her hold firmly in the affections of her sable subjects. Belize was very healthy. Nothing new had beon heard from the Yucatan Indians. The Grand Jury were empanelled yesterday in the General Sessions, when the Recorder delivered ‘an elaborate charge, touching upon various topics of interest. He says that the lax administration of to discharge jury duty, and states that our present Metropolitan Police system bas proved a failure. He reiterates the views frequently ~xpressed in oor columns, that the police power sheuld be placed in the hands of one chief exeoutive officer, who sheald be held responsible for the prompt arrest of viola- ters of the law. In the Court of General Seasions yesterday James Anderson, alias James Reed, indicted for grand larceny (second offence), pleaded guilty to an at- tempt to commit that crime, and was sent to the State prison for two years. It seems that in 1856 this prisoner was convicted of stealing promissory notes to a large amount, but in consequence of his youth was let off with three months’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Mary Brady, keeper of a jank shop, charged with receiving lead pipe knowing it to have been stolen, was acquitted, the evidence against her being very alight. Edward Lilly, aaid to be a notorious “confidence” man, was tried fot grand larceny in obtaining a gold watch and chain from William Daniel, a Florida merchant, by means of the confidence game. The jury failing to agree, the Recorder discharged them last evening. Hleven were for conviction and one for acquittal. We published some days since the complaint of Charles J. Macdonald in a suit entered by him in the Court of Common Pleas against Commodores Morgan and Garrison, for services rendered the Nicaragua Accessory Transit Company, amounting to something over $96,000. We give to-day the joint reply of the defendants. The trial of the cause, it is expected, will elicit some interesting incidents respecting the management or mismanagement of that corporation. We take this opportunity to state that the allegation contained in a letter of one of our Washington correspondents, to the effect that Mr. Cornelius K. Garrison, one of the defendants in the action, had sailed for California on the 5th inst., to avoid an appearance in the suit, was wholly with- out foundation, as that gentleman is now in New York and has been for some days past. Our corres- pondent must have been imposed upon by some party whom he thought reliable, but who is evidently interested in the controversy. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday. A com- munication from the Police Commiasioners, recom- mending that the money accruing from penalties imposed upon policemen be placed to the Police Life and Health Insurance Fund, and appropriated to its use, was laid on the table. A report in favor of pay- ing $1,759 50, the expenses of the military compa- nies called out during the Metropolitan Police riots, was discussed, and laid over for further considera- tion. The proposition to increase the police force was debated, but no action taken. The City Inspec- tor reported that the number of registered births in the city during the past year was 18,449. The Board of Aldermen met last evening. An important communication concerning the condition of the wharves on the East river was received from the Street Commissioner. It is given in our report of the proceedings elsewhere. ‘The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, but the business was of a routine character. The report of the Committee on Assessments for paving Lexington avenue, between Thirty-fourth and Forty-second streets, with Belgian pavement, was presented and ordered to be printed in docu- ment form. An ordinance establishing a pound in the Twelfth ward was adopted. The Board meets this evening. The select committee of the Board of Councilmen who have in consideration the establishment of a foundling hospital in this city held a meeting yes terday. Dr. A. B. Mott spoke in behalf of tho establishment of an institution for foundlings. He urged it on the grounds of the necessity for some establishment that would have the effect-of cartail- ing the great number of abortions in the city that are continually being produced, and in which the lives of both the mother and infant are frequently sacrificed. He then argued that many of the infants which are found dead would have an opportunity of living if there was an institution in the city where the mother might leave them with the assurance that they would be property provided for. He con- cluded by showing that charity demands the estab- lishment of an institation for foundlings in the city, No one else spoke in reference to the subject, and the committee concladed the matter by a final ad- journment. ‘The Board of Health Committee engaged in in- vestigating the ewill milk question met yesterday. A letter was read from Mr. Frank Leslie, acknow- ledging the receipt of the committee's subpens, bat refusing to attend; promising, however, to obey the ummons and “‘state all that he is prepared to prove,” should the committee faver him with two days’ notice, and promise that his witnesses might be permitted to come and go safely, without insult from parties who had hitherto been permitted to throng the committee room. The committee ad- journed until Thursday, the Clerk having been di- rected to subporna Mr. Leslie. The anniversary of the Marine Temperance So- ciety was hela last evening in the Mariners’ charch. From the annual report it appears that the total nomber of mariners who have signed the pledge is 31,271. 471 members have joined the society since their last annual meeting, and the prospect ofa large increase of numbers is very favorable. The attend- ance of the members and friends of this excellent and praiseworthy institation last evening was nume- Tous. The annual examination of the boys of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum toek place yesterday after. noon, at the institation in Fifth avenue, befure Arch- bishop Hughes and a large number of persons. The exercises were very creditably performed. Ad- dresses were delivered by the Archbishop, the State Scperintendent of Schools and others, and the pro- ceedings in general terminated very satisfactorily. ‘The annual examination of the West Point Mili- tary Academy has been in progress for some days, and will probably be finished early next week. We have on hand a sketch of the examination as far as it has proceeded, and an account of the interesting exercises yesterday, on the occasion of the review of the cadets by Gen. Scott, but are compelled to de- fer its publication. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 2,000 bales, mainly on the basis of 110. for mixed middiings, ‘and at 120. for straight do. The advance noticed day be fore yesterday in common grades of State and Western flour was partially lost, while good extra grades. and cspe- olally Ohio, were unchanged. Sales were meds toa fair extent. Wheat was in fair activity, while prices were somewhat irregular. In wheat the sales embraced about 30,000 © 40,000 bushels, at rates given in another columa. Corn was in fair demand, but irregular, with sales of about 30,000 bushels at rates given in another place. Pork was heavy, with sales of mess at $17 30 & $17 36 and of prime at $14 10081415. Sagare ‘were steaty, with sales of 1,000 hhds. at rates civen cise. where. Coffee was firm. The sales embraced about 2,000 bags of St. Domingo, for export to Hamburg, at 8%c., cash; a small lot of Java, in bags, at 16c., and 600 @o, To at 10K%0. The stock of Rio amounts to about 20,000 bags and a total of bags and mate of about 42,282. Freighte were steady and without further change in rates, while engagements were moderate Mone Flonrmie Ovrraces m Kawsas—It appears that the free State fighting champions of law and order in Kansas, in the absence of any stray Missouri border ruffians to shoot at, have turned to shooting each other. Thus, the notorious Jim Lane, the Major General of the free State fighting vagabonds, did, the other day, deliberately shoot and kill his next door free State neighbor for daring to approach the well in Jim Lane’s garden for a bucket of water, in defiance of the orders of Lane to the coatre- ry. This horrible outrage gives us the true character of this Jim Lane ia a very few words It would be a good thing for the peace of Kan- saa, ifhe and about twenty others or more of the same etripe of ruffianiam of both parties there, could be killed off by each other before the August election. As it is, we hope that this last bloody outrage of Lase will not be without its good effects in opening the eyes of the re epectable free State men of Kansas to the utter wortblessness of this fellow and the ruffian gang by whioh he is surrounded. ‘The Finale at New Orieaes—A Warning to the New York Taxpayers. We learn by telegraph to-day of the final re- sult of the excitement at New Orleans, which has terminated in the election of the Kaow Nothing candidate for Mayor by a majority of 290 votes, though many of the principal names on the same ticket were defeated. Thus much and no more are we informed by the telegraphic reporter, except the additional fact that the Vigilants have broken up their camp, and the municipal authorities have issued writs for the arrest of the leaders on a charge of high treason. In view of the poverty of the intelligence eent us by telegraph, and the ab- sence in the columns of the leading pepers of New Orleans of any premonition of so great an excitement in the public mind there, we have been almost entirely in the dark as to the ohar- acter and extent of the movements in that city, and have been obliged to judge of them by what we knew of the previous existing feeling there. We can only pursue the same course in judging of the result; for, a8 the telegraphic reporter does not give us the mumber of votes cast, we do not even know whether the vote has been a full one or not. There are several prominent facts in the intelligence we have thus far received which we must recapitulate. The class of men whose names are attached to the invi- tation to Major Beauregard, and the known political antecedents of many of them, com prising nearly every shade of political opi- nion, indicate that it was @ movement of the business and substantial men of the city, and not a party mancuvre. In all the proceedings, as far aa we have been advised by the telegraph, they bave carefully abstained from acts of an aggressive and unlawful character, and seem to have confined the purposes of their organization to self defence, and to the carrying out of their pre-announced intention of protecting voters at the polls. The election, we are informed, has been conducted peaceably and without blood- sbed, but that » large number of the Vigilants did not vote. For the causes of this course on the part of voters we can only resort to conjecture, It may have been that they had not confidence in the ability of their organization to protect them from violence ; or it may have been that they did not wish to provoke a collision which might have resulted in the shedding of much blood, and preferred to adjourn the final conflict to the courte, which they may do in this wise. By a law of the State of Louisiana, paased two years since, it is provided that in case it shall be proved that either of the contending parties used intimidation during any of the elections there, such election shall be set aside. If this be the policy of the independent party we shall yet hear more of this affair. One thing seems evident in the result of this New Orleans election—that where two parties are arrayed against each other with cannon and bristling bayonets in a political contest, the men having something to lose are no match for the roughs. This fact will come home with terrible energy to our New York taxpayers. The struggle we have witnessed in New Orleans is precisely such a one as is coming upon New York, if the men of substance do not organize and look after their city government. It isa contest between the taxpayers and the taxeatera. The condition of the two cities has very great points of similarity—a plundered treasury, a continually increasing city expenditure, corrap- tion in every branch of the city government, and « determination on the part of the tax- eaters to hold on to the spoils at all hazards, The breakdown of the business men of New Orleans to reform the government of their city should bes salutary warning to the property holders and business men of New York. Party Moves Unvex Cover or Ornicit. ImpxacoMENnTs—Discomrrrure OF THEIR Promo- Tens.—The Willett’s Point investigation has taken the turn which every sensible and unbi- asced person expected. All the members of the committee but one concur in exonerating the Secretary of War and Collector Schell trom im- proper or corrupt motives in the transaction, The truth is that the inquiry was got up for the purpose of defeating Mr. Schell’s confirmation by the Senate. There was nothing in the sub- ject matter of the charges which might not every day be made the ground for imputations of « similar character whenever the government en- ters the market as a purchaser. Real estate will always acquire a factitious valae as soon as it is known that the government is in need of it. This was the case with the Willett’s Point pro- perty. As soon as it was ascertained that it was likely to be required by the War Depart- ment, Mesera. Irving and Wetmore bought it up in the expectation of making a handsome profit out of it. They did just what Wesley and the Times men did in the Brick Charch affair, only that they managed matters with a little more skill and made eure of their title. The government cannot always pre- vent itself from being forestalled in this way, nor can it expect to make better terms than private purchasers. On the contrary, it is exposed to many disadvantages, from the facility with which its intentions get wind through the indiscretion or careleseness of subordinates. ‘These facts are so notorious that were it not for the proepect which it afforded of damaging Collector Schell's chances before the Senate, it is certain that we should have heard nothing whatever of the Willett’s Point investigation. Although the labors of the committee are substantially cloeed, they have had added to them a supplemental tack of a not very agreeable or creditable nature. The motives that urged on this inquiry have led to the performance of some tricks with the printed evidence, which will necessitate farther investigation. Not only has the testimony been altered ‘n its passage from the committee room t the printing office, but, through some undesitind agency, it has found its way prematurely into tle newspapers. Mr. Haskin acknowledges that the passage struck out from the printed copy of the evi- dence was erased by him, and that he made the erasure because it was inserted through the mis take of the stenographer, or was interpolated at the printing office. As this passage was a re- mark etated to bave been made by Mr. Heskia in exculpation of Mr. Schell, ite excision is the more remarkable from the subsequent dissent of that gentleman from the reports of his col- leagues. If the observation ia question was really uttered by Mr. Haskin, it is bat right that Mr. Schell should have the benefit of it; if not, then the party who bas dared to take each liberties with the evidence should be severely punished for it. We look with oari- osity to the resalt of this eupplemental investi- gation. Locnouuma anp Léesr Mavaonumyr nv Cononess.—The report of the Investigat- ing Committee on the tariff corruption case is a rich mine of information and wealth of secrets. Tho evidence of many of tho witnesses should be publiched and republished until the people have it by heart, in order that people may understand how the le- gislation of the country is carried on. Let us glance for instance at the evidence of Mr. A. R. Corbin, formerly of St. Louis, but for the last fourteen years a citizen of Wasbington, and sometime a clerk of the Committee of Congress on Claims. Mr. Corbin’s firet acquaintance with lobby management was when he “felt a deep interest fa the success” of the Illinois Railroad bill That bill, it seems, could net have passed on its own merits. But there was a bill pending for a revision of the tariff in the interests of Penn- sylvania and New England, and after mach ne- gotiation it was arranged that if the protection- ista would vote for the Illinois Railroad bill, the Western and Southern men interested in the rail- road would return the compliment on the tariff question. Combined, the two parties command- ed a majority of Congress, People must not panse—as there is se much temptation to do— to reflect apon this pretty pieceof logrolling. The best is to come. Before either bill came up, it was ascertained by the friends of the Illinois Railroad that a strong sec- tion of Southern men were resolved to do nothing more for New England till she had altered her views on the slavery question, and that consequently the new tariff bill would not pass. At first blash this seemed a fatal objeo- tion. On reflection, however, it was determined to trick the tariff men. Their bill was intro- duced and referred to the Comaittee of the Whole, before the railroad measure was touched. This done, and while the tariff bill was in com- mittee and before it could be reported back, the Illinois Railroad bill was sprang upon the House and passed by ® small majority. The tariff bill came up shortly afterward and was duly defeated—the [Uinois men being among the first to vole against it. The public may be congratulated on the en- tertainment afforded by so delicious a piece of lobby revelations. Mr. Corbin’s next experience was in the service of these very New England manefactarers whose aims had been so cruelly defeated on this occa- sion. He “agreed with them” that a modifi- cation of the tariff was ; and also agreed to accept, in case the bill passed, $7,500 for his services in persuading Congress that this was the case. The money was promised by Mr. Samuel Lawrence. The logrolling here was with the iron interests of Pennsylvania, and the modus operandi was the same as what we have already described—with this exception, that both parties failed. Next, in 1856, Mr. W. W. Stone wrote from New York to enlist Mr. Corbin on the side of the Proposed modifications of the tariff. Mr. Stone closed his letter with the significant hint, that “you can by aiding us do yourself and your country great good.” It is painful to see that on this momentous occasion Mr. Corbin was blind to the interests of “himself and coun- try.” Atleast he says he waa He “went to work systematically to render the passage of the bill an .” By what artful means he tried to “arouse the jealousy of the wool growing interest, second the jealousy of the iron men, and third the jealousy of the Southern interests,” Mr. Corbin naively and refreehingly confesses at length. It is novel, even in this degenerate day, to find « man con- fessing even boastingly that he deliberately tried to deceive people by statements which he knew to be unfair. ‘The bill passed. A fow days afterward Mr. Corbin received letter from Mr. Stone, en- closing ® thousand dollars, and stating— The laborer is worthy of his hire,and I enclose & ja Selaskenpemeen is It dees not therefore appear that Corbin’s efforts to defeat the bill were considered very damaging by its friends. He did not return the money; but to calm his conscience, he gave no receipt for it. Into the private questions concerning Mr. Corbin himself, it is not worth while to enter; we have said enough, for the present, to illus- trate the methods by which legislation is effected in Congress. The report is instructive reading. i rere Scamer Resorts.—The sudden arrival of hot weather has stirred up the keepers of the hotels at the several watering places, and we have pub- lished quite a number of their announcements in our advertising colamns. The publicans at New- port, Cape May, Old Point Comfort, West Point, Lake George, Shrewsbury, and all along shore, are brushing up their houses for the summer, and in fortnight or three weeks, should the season be as dry and hot as at present indicated, the fashionable hegire will be in full flow. Even now the railways and steamboats are beginning to feel the pressure of pleasure travellers, a class 80 distinct from business men on the wing as to be easily recognized. The lawyers, judges and city officials are hurrying up their business preparatory to s summer vacation, and the loungers have already begun to flit towards the North. The fashionable hotels are filling up with Southerners and Californians e rowe for the watering places or Europe, and in a day or two we shall have an influx of Congressmen and the Washington lobby, who will leave the capi- tal like rats running away from a well picked bit of cheese. The prospects of the season at the watering places are not very brilliant. The revulsion palled down many business men who were in the habit of throwing about their dollars like pebbles, at Newport or Saratoga, and the in- creasing railway facilities have opened new places of health and pleasure. Still we hear from various quarters that the hotel keepers at the fashionable summer resorts have promised to mend their ways, to improve their houses in all important respects, and to do away with the odieus black mail system instituted by the ser- vanta, If they carry out these reforms they may have « fair season; but they must not ex- pect to make so much money asin the flash times. For the present, this metropolis, with ita many attractions to the stranger who has pleaty of loose cash, is the favorite watering place. The Opera engages almost the entire attention of those who patronise in-door amusementa, ‘The prima donna, Mme. de Gaszaniga, is a very fine artist, and che has made a great sensation. She was, however, so unfortunate as to make her débit im the emall-souled city of Philadel- phia, where they have a fine Opera house, and have had fine artists, whom they could mot ap- preciate. They allowed Gazsaniga and Ron- coni to eing to empty benches, and ruined the manager. They have no appreciation of art, if it costs anything. Their loss, however, is eur gain. Tax Busovess or Tas Srexet DeranTMent— Morn Feavps.—The Street Commissioner, Ed- ward Cooper, submitted a lengthy report te the Commoa Council on Monday, setting forth the present state of the business of his do- partment, from which it appears that there are one hundred and forty-three contracts for work on street improvements, im va- rious stages of operation. Of those, the largest pamber (forty-nine) of any one class are for work ordered by the Common Courcil bat not yet contracted for; ao that the new Street Com- missioner will have an opportanity of exercising his akill in dealing with the horde of contrao- tors, surveyors, assessors, and s0 forth, who have made such fine pickings out of previous con- tracts. Of course a report from the Street De- partment without afraud being referred to in it would be an anomaly in these days of public peculation, and Mr. Cooper’s last document cannot be classed as euch. He draws the at- tention of the Counoil to s neat little placer— amount not specified—picked up by a contractor named MoLeod, in regulating and grading Forty-thied street between Tonth avenue and the Hudson river. But this is only a trifle com- pared with the placer discovered by Tereace Fearley—but fortunately not yet worked—worth $46,500, in building a sustaining wall on Fifth avenue between Forty-ninth and Sixty- firat streets, to keep the earth from falling at each side. Mr. Farley executed the contract for grading thia part of the avenue some time ago; but in April, 1857, a resolution was got through both boards of the Common Council ordering the building of a sustaining wall. In the June following another resolu- tion was got through—of course not by the instrumentality of any of Mr. Farley's friends— to the effect that, as a matter of economy, the contract for the wall should be given to the game party who executed the former work of grading. The cost of this wall was to be $49,500—a nice aseessment on the unfortunate property owners. Mr. Cooper, however, not re- cognizing the right of the Common Council to make a contract, their duty being confined to authorizing the work to be done, forbade Mr. Farley to proceed with the wall, which he had already commenced, and instructed one of the heads of his bureau—Mr. Lovell, Superintendent of Street Improvements—to leok at the work and report thereon. He has done so, and reports that there is no necessity for a wall; that an ad- dition of 17,000 cubic feet of earth, at a cost of $3,000, would put the avenue in good condition; ‘and of course the job on the wall would be a clear swindle of the property owners, amount- ing to the pretty sum of $46,500! ‘ This is the latest discovery of fraud in the contracts for regulating streets, and we may expect that every day’s work of investigation will develope a fresh one. No wonder the taxes of the city are running up to ten millions s year. Tue Cuevatmen Forney Stu mw THe Dvmrs.—The Chevalier Forney has just return- ed home from Washington, with his peace of mind very much broken up by Mr. Appleton, Assistant Secretary of State. The particular offences of Mr. Appleton in the premises are not very clearly defined, but Forney pronounces him the “Oily Gammon” and the “Oliver Le Dain” of the administration, a regular shaver of flats, and a professional barber to boot. Weil, well, what's the use of taking on eo about itt Was not the Chevalier Forney the “Olly Gammon” and the “Oliver Le Dain” of poor Pierce; and didn’t he seek to fill these two characters, and that of Cardinal Richelieu besides, under Mr. Bachanant We do not wonder that the unfor- tunate Forney, in revisiting the outside of the kitchen at Washington, should feel the loas of the savory viands inside; but it only makes the matter worse to raise an uproar about it. Re- cently the Chevalier Webb, while nosing around the kitchen, was completely fascinated by the delicious smell of those fat contracts for the Mormon war, and he set up a terrible how!- ing over them. But, cui bono? The cock came oat with his broomstick and drove him off. Let the Chevalier Forney keep cool, and remember that— ‘What can't be cured ‘Must be eacured. Mas Writamy' Concunt.— We Ces're to call the particu- lar attention of our readers to the announcement of a con- cort by Mise F. L.
