The steamship Baltic, from Aspinwall March 18, and bringing the passengers, treasure and mails brought down from San Francisco to Panama, with dates from the former place of March 5, arrived yesterday afternoon. By this arrival we have full details of news from Oregon, Washington Territory, British Columbia and Cali- The treasure list per the Baltic amounted 36 64—the smallest amount that has been d here for the past seven years. The cause ascribed for this diminution is the fact of the dis- covery of silver ore in the Washoe district, and the investment of large amounts of capital in mining enterprises for the developement of the new aurife- rous district. Some of the ore is assayed equal to a value of $30,000 per ton, this being gene- rally understood for silver alone. Another large fire occurred in San Francisco on the 3d instant, and property to the amount of $33,000 was destroyed. By a despatch from Sacra- mento, of the 4th instant, we learn that a a- structive fire occurred at that place. ax large amount of property was des~sed The Sacra Mento papers state “+ tires are becoming more frequent, a»2 «wat in about four cases out of five they are ene work of incendiaries. California since she came into the Confederacy, has been the scene of larger and more destructive fires than any other State in the Union, from the fact that everything is held at a fictitious value; for instance, a wooden house is held at as high a price asa brick or stone one in New York; and when one of the former geta onfire it generally involves a dozen others before it is subdued. In our news columns will be feund the details of an indiscriminate and horrible massacre of two hundred Indians at the Indian villages on Humboldt Bay, besides other intelligence from Washington Territory, British Columbia and Ore- on. " The news from New Granada contains the impor- tant announcement that the Cass-Herran treaty, as amended by the United States Senate, has been finally ratified by both houses of Congress. The measure had been recommended by President Os- pina in his message. The President's opposition to @ repeal of the unpopular “Election Law” had caused great excitement, and a revolution was feared. In Guatamala, the Wyke treaty, to settle the boundary between that country and British Hondu- ras, had been ratified. The health of Hon. Beverly 8. Clarke, United States Minister, had not im- proved, and he intended returning to the United States in the next steamer. Gen. Barrios had been elected President of San Salvador, and his term of office extended to six years, The government of Nicaragua bad confirmed Colonel Cauty’s contract. The government of Costa Rica had arrested a Spanish subject for some expressions he had used in regard to some of its acts. The Spanish Consul interfered and had him discharged. The news from Chili contains nothing of im- portance. Business at the mines was ina flourish. ing condition, and the country generally prospe- rous. Markets were active, and ores had advanced. Hon. John Bigler, United States Minister, was ex- pected to arrive soon. In Peru an attempt at revolution at Arequipa had been suppressed. The murderers of Captain Lambert had not been discovered. The foreign residents were very indignant at a statement made by some Peruvian papers, that the unfortunate gentleman had committed suicide in a fit of deli- rium tremens. The arrival of a French fleet was expected, to enforce the French claims; and an American squadron is said to be very mach need- ed, to teach the Peruvians some respect for us. Preparations to repel the threatened invasion by Peru were making in Bolivia. The latest accounts from Ecuador represent that ore Le as ran on the eve of civil war. ‘e have of El Comercio, of Laguay Venezuela, to the 3d of March, falion ss The arms of the constitutional government were still in the ascendant, and the forces of the rebels were being rapidly dispersed.

Some tine ago we copied an article from...

A discourse was delivered in the evening by the Rev: Dr. Pise, of Brooklyn. Among the pumber who visited Johnson, or Hicks, a8 he is also called, at the station house yesterday was his wife, who had arrived in the city at an early hour in the morning. She was not pre- viously aware of the nature of the charge against her husband, and upon learning it became much excited. She was much affected during her inter- view with the prisoner, and wept bitterly. John- son appeared slightly moved, but endeavored to this prosperity is due, if this were the | case, how is it that the méngrel and pure ne- gro Nations south of us are| not as prosperous as are those where the supé@rlority of the white race is admitted, and the separation of the races is enforced? } Let us look at the facts. The Southern States of our Union, Cuba @nd Brazil are the only countries on this cor mnt where the amalgamating theories of black republi- console her by denying the truth of the accusations against him. The prisoner was also visited by a watchmaker, who recognized the watch found in bis possession as having belonged to Captain Burr. Johnson maintains the utmost coolness and indif- ference, and has engaged a Connecticut lawyer to defend him. He will be brought before the United States Court this morning and examined on a charge of piracy. The wife of Captain Burr was s0 much affected at the unhappy fate of her husband as to entirely prostrate her system ; and it is re- ported that she now lies in a very precarious condi- tion. Public interest in the shocking affair of the E. A. Johnson continues unabated, and much anxiety is manifested for further developements, A fell report of all we bave been able to glean will be found elsewhere. The pilot boat George Steers brought to this port yesterday afternoon the wreck of the oyster sloop Spray, which she found anchored and sunk four Tiiles off Barnegat. The Spray had previously collided with the sloop Lucinda of Rockaway. From the fact that but one person was seen on board ihe time of the collision with the Lu- cinda, together with other suspicious circumstances in relation to the afluir, it is feared that a trageay similar in its features to that on the ©. A. Jonasoi was enacted on board the Spray, the victims of which were the captain and his brother. A China- man named Jackalow, who was the only person seen on the Spray at the time of the collision with the Lucinda, was subsequently picked up by the schooner Thomas E. French and brought to this city, which he is supposed to have left. As his route is known to the police, there is little pro- bability of his eluding their vigilance, and his ar- rest may be looked for this morning. Fall details, so far as they have been developed, are given elsewhere. Cotton continued to rule dull on Saturday, while sales were limited to some 400 a 500 bales. Tho low gradcs were depreseed, while middling and higher quali- ties were not obtainable at any concession under previous quotations. Flour was in moderate request, and without change of moment in prices, especially for the better clage of brands, while the medium and lower grades closed dull. Wheat was dull and heavy, and, in the absence of sales, quotations were in a measure nominal. Small lots of Indiana white were reported at $1 66. Corn was in larger supply and prices were heavy, while sales were fair, including Western mixed at 72c. a 73c. (in small parcels). Jersey and Southern yellow sold at 7c. a 78c , and choice Southern white at 80c. Pork was dull, with small sales—new mess at $17 62‘; a $17 75; old do., $17 1234; thin mess, $16 8734; olf prime, $12 373g a $12 50; new do., $14 371¢ a $14 50, and Western prime mess, $16 50. Sugars were active, with sales of about 2,200 hhda, and 160 boxes, all at steady Prices. Coffee was firm, with moderate sales, including 600 bags Jamaica at 13c., and 200 do. Maracaibo at 1340 Freights were steady, while engagements were s10derato, The Republican macOries Before the Peo- ple of o-~aecticut—The Facts and the po ures of the Result. The State of Connecticut is the first that is called upon to give judgment through her po- pular elections on the momentous question: “Shall this Union be driven into a state of an- archy and blood ?” That is the true issue between the two par- ties whose leaders and orators are respectively urging upon the people the acceptance or re- jection of political theories which, if adopted, must involve this country in a xanoninarsy at~it war, The aim and object of the black republi- can party, with all the processes of develope- ment of its schemes, are now unfolded. We have seized its high priest—the master mind that has worked out, years ago, the whole course of the argument, from whose fountain the political abolitionists and demagogues have drawn their thought, and brought him before the judgment seat of the people. The book of Lysander Spooner, which we have held up to view in all its fallacy of ineeption and powerfal logic in argument, shows conclusively the end we must attain if the black republican party succeed in obtaining the control of the govern- ment. It is proclaimed that no slave exists in the South by virtue of law, that writs of ha- beas corpus must be issued to bring them be- fore the federal courts, that federal judges must decree their emancipation, that federal armies must surround and sustain these courts in the Southern States, and repress at the point of the bayonet every attempt to resist this violent and destructive dismemberment of the social organization of the South. Nay, more: it is proclaimed that every negro is to-day in all respects the equal of the white man—that any slave is eligible to every office, not except ing the Presidency. : The intentions of our fathers who founded the Union, and framed the constitution, are set at naught; the practice of the government and the understanding of the people are declared at fault, and the republican party insists that five millions of negroes are to-day citizens of the United States, and that we are henceforth to be a motley and a mongrel people. Hitherto it has been a popular belief and a popu- lar pride that we were a nation of whites, and of white men only. The Indian, from the earliest times to the present, has been denied citizenship; the African has ever been held beyond the pale of our nationality; and to-day the Chinese, who are pouring into our Pacific States, are resolutely withheld from an admitted equality, The natural instinct of the white man rebels against assimilation and amalgamation with the inferior races. More than that, we are convinced that to this fact we have owed our progress and greatness as a nation; and when we look upon the mongrel communities south of us, we do not hesitate to attribute their decay to the confusion of disso- nant races, and the consequent decay of the su- perior. But now the black republican flag is un- furled, and the white man alone is not to rule the country. There are some stout facts that Oppose themselves to the triumph of this nig- roving theory—facts connected intimately try, and Wdustry and commerce of the cdun- to the interests diome, directly or indirectly, nity. The South is gan in the commiu- of the North large quantime: it buys ry. article produced by the farmer~a, fashioned by the hand of industry; it supplies us with cotton, sugar and coffee; and the ex- change creates and gives employment to vast fleets of ships and thousands of seamen. This source of employment and wealth is due to the social organization of the South—to the system of domestic servitude established there. The political abolitionists, unable to meet this fact, deny it, and claim that it is to the steam engines, the cotton gins, the inventions cans are not admitted. Together they contain a population of from tweaty to twenty-five millions of people, includidg approximately eight millions of human shves. Inhabiting territory of equal climate ajd soil, we have in Mexico, Central America, Hayti, the British West Indies, New Granada agd Venezuela, an equal population, with a sqnewhat greater disproportion of the races. d what is the reeult to the industry of the world? Do North- ern inventions and labor saviag machinery pro- duce the same result in bob? The returns of the commercial statisticd show that they exercice no influence, Compare the exports to the South with those to Mexico, those to Cuba with those to Haytij those to Brazil with those to Venezuela and) the other States: where the slave communitiey take millions the others do not take thousanis; and while the South, Cuba and Brazil supply the world with cotton, sugar, coffee and tobapco, the products of the mongrel nations conribute barely a drop to supply the great currents of Northern industry and trade. These aw the facts upon which- the people of Connecjicut are to con- sider and to decide at the|coming election: whether they are prepared gad willing to en- force a political abstraction which shall super- sede commerce with war, industry with blood- shed, and peace and plentywith anarchy and want. Tue ConGresstonaL Lossy at Worx.—As Congress is just getting into the business of the country—the squabbles about Speaker, Printer, and so forth, being settled—the opera- tions of the lobby are now becoming quite brisk. The activity of ‘change daring business hours is dulness compared with the liveliness of the lobby at Washington just now. The representatives of all the different interests which look to Congress for aid are seized upon and beset by the rapacious harpies of the lob- by, who endeavor to drive as hard a bargain as they can, at the same time that they make the most rosy promises of success in case their valuable services are secured. The principal and most fruitful gold fields upon which the lobby is 20w employed comprise the Presi- dential placer, in which all parties, cliques and individuals are working with pick and cradle as industriously as Pike’s Peak miners; the Pacific Railroad and telegraph enterprises; private claims of every hue and shape, just and unjust; fat contracts for fort sites for the government, steamship lines, &c.; Indian treaties and claims; railroad grants, with their accompanying donations of land, and all those sorts of schemes. With such an extensive ca- pital to work upon, it is no wonder that the lobby finds its hands full and expects to fill its pockets in proportion. But we believe that the war which the Herap has waged upon the corruptions of the lobby has somewhat re- duced its strength, as it certainly has brought its character into a most unenviable disrepute. The grand army ~bieh wus wort in former days to garrison the federal capital has dwindled into a paltry camp of se- cond rate politicians, but still the agencies of mischief and corruption remain. There are many measures in railroad and steamship lines, and other enterprises, which are most desirable for the country at large, but which are destroyed by coming into contact with the lobby—the Pacific Rail- road and Telegraph for example. The Pacific Railroad, pérhaps, yields a more magnificent spoil than any other measure before the present Congress, and hence the lobby has seized hold of it with its weual rapacity. The Telegraph Company, as we learn by a despatch, has re- fused to accept the services of the lobbyites or to pay them a cent; and if this be so the Tele- graph Company are certainly entitled to some consideration. Whatever influence can be ex- ercised to break up this infamous and corrupt lobby system deserves to be applauded by the public. Tue State Dunnrve THE Crry For ITs Dests.— We have received an interesting account of the present difficulties in the financial depart- ment of the city, arising from the delay in pass- ing the tax levy. There has been a great anxiety exhibited on the part of the Legisla- ture, in dealing with the tax law, to get an ap- propriation for some $200,000 attached to it for the Commissioners of Records, in consequence of which it has been subjected to all kinds of delays, and has finally been sent back with the Governor's veto, because of this very appro- Ppriation. Every epecies of pressure that could be devised has been brought to bear upon this point, and the last attempt to coerce the passage of the bill and cbtain the Go- vernor’s approval, with this appropriation affixed to it, is the demand by the Su- perintendent of Public Instruction upon Comptroller Haws for the payment of the three-fourths mill school tax due from this county to theState. It will be seen that the Comptroller refuses to pay this balance, for the Teason that the treasury is empty, and must re- main so until the tax levy is finally disposed of, He recommends the Legislature to pass the tax law, in such a shape, of course, that Governor Morgan can consistently approve of it, and then he will attend to the demands of the State. The Superintendent of Public Instruction complains that the members of the Legislature are be- coming restive and clamorous for the payment of the sums due their several counties. If they are, let them pass the tax levy in a proper form, and we have no doubt their wants will be attended to. Warrewasutxa THe METRoPoutran PoLtce CommisstoneRs.—In the eighth section of the new Police bill, now before the Legislature, a provision occurs legalizing all the acts of the ant Metropolitan Board.

The principles upon which the royal brokers actare nearly identical with those of Mr. Close Shave, the great New York dperator. He shaves the buyer and the seller, and divides with one or two stool-pigeons, who hold the basin and rub in the soap. In like manner the Emperors of Russia, Austria and France, and the King of Sardinia, play into each other’s hands. France wants the small farm of Savoy, and is willing to exchange for it some improved city property in Tuscany. It is quite true that the Sardinian title to Savoy is not prime, nor has France the smallest claim to Tuscany. But the imperiz) brokers do not stand on such sms"), points; they carry their titles to othe: people's property in their cartridge b~xes, and serve writs of eject- ment at the mouth of a sixty-eight pounder or at the point of a sword-bayonet. They have even tried to disturb the poor old Pope insome jana which the Church appropriated so long ago that the title has at least the respecta- bility which the dust of ages gives to law parchment. For this the brokers have been heartily anathematized by all the faithful in every part of the world, and they have sus- pended operations in that quarter. + The Russians have rather a large farm of their own, but, like some people a little nearer home, they are not satisfied. Turkey and Persia are outiyitg domains to the Russ, and if Austria, who hankers after more Italian palaces, will agree to help Russia in robbing the Oriental sovereigns, the Cossacks will join the sharp shooters of Francis Joseph on the plains of Lombardy. In the old times Spain did a great deal in the real estate way, but failed in busi- ness through laziness and inattention. Just now the old lady has waked up, and thinks she would like to have a bit of Morocco—proba- bly for a vegetable garden, a military drill ground, and horse-breeding farm—the chief use which France makes of Algeria. The combinations and complications and in- trigues of all these brokers are extremely inte- resting. The Emperor of the French is the great bear of the market. Heis Jacob Little, George Law and Commodore Vanderbilt rolled into one—sovereign, politician, stock operator and real estate broker, he manages Europe ex- actly as a clever man keeps a dry goods shop, or operates in Wall street, or buys and sells houees, lands, politicians, Congressfhen, Alder- men and other property, real and personal, steady and fancy. He has his agents and stool pigeons in every European Cabinet, and even in the Vatican itself. His best go-betweens are members of the government and Parlia- ment of England—best, because they are used without knowing the fact, and they work faith- fully for Napoleon, with the impression that their efforts tend in a contrary direction. As the Chevalier Webb has recently ascertained, among other wonderful discoveries, the Em- peror is a wonderfully clever man, and the king of the real estate brokers; he reigns in the Tuileries by the will of the French people; heis Emperor of the stock and real estate mar- ket by courtesy of the British government. Tae TRAGEDIES on Boarp THE Oyster Sneors. Pho myntesluusaud lursivic tragedies which occurred last week on board the oyster sloops E. A. Johnson and Spray are exciting more interest than anything of that character ince the murder of Dr. Burdell. The capture of the suspected criminal of the E. A. Johnson at Providence, on Friday, created an immense ex- citement all along the railroad route to this city, where he arrived on Saturday, and a strong disposition to lynch him was manifested atseveral points. From all the circumstances that have come to light in connection with these shocking affairs, there is little doubt that a triple murder was committed on board the Johnson, and a double murder on board the Spray. The prompt arrest of the alleged murderer in the case of the Johnson is a striking in- stance of the value of telegraphs and rail- roads as thief-catchers. With an efficient de- tective police, and the aid of electricity and steam, it is now almost impossible for a crimi- nal to escape, no matter to what quarter he may turn to flee from justice; and when the Atlantic telegraph is in working order, ab- sconding to Europe will be just as ineffectual as flight to any part of this continent is now. The yessel by which the runaway sails is almost always known; so that, by the applica- tion of the ocean telegraph, he can be arrested the moment he sets his foot upon the shore of the Old World. Tue Brit TO Prove Acaisst Unsare Borin. 1nGs.—There is a voluminous bill now before the Legislature to provide against unsafe build- ings in this city, a measure which, it is neefffess to add, is of the titmost importance. We have had frequent fatal examples of the insecurity of buildings in the metropolis, and almost every large fire which occurs multiplies them. The firemen are perhaps the class most exposed to danger from the falling of buildings and walls, and it seems, therefore, quite proper that the nomination of officers to carry out the pro- visions of this bill—namely, a superintendent of buildings and his subordinates—should be entrusted to the heads of the Fire Department, subject to approval by the Mayor, as the bill provides shall be done; but in the exercise of this important duty we find that three members of the American Institute of Architects are au- thorized to act with the presiding officers of” the Fire Department. To this provision we object, because, although it may be sup- posed that these gentlemen have considera- ble experience in the matter, it must not be forgotten that architects are very often build- ers as well, and it may happen that their own work would sometimes come under the super- vision of the Superintendent; therefore the ar- chitects of New York should have nothing to do with the appointment of officials. If the advice of an architect should become necessa- ty, itis very easy to employ one. With this exception, the bill seems to be unobjectionable. ee Ayortner Stxpay Law.—No sooner had the Governor vetoed the Sunday Amusement bill, which our moral and religious Legislature had enacted as an atonement to Heaven for all their legislative malpractices, than another bill, of a similar character—which we print else- | tainmenyas been introduced into the Senate, lv passed, w j‘s.,and such like-enter- \wP e hope ve Goveruede-bill should irst one, TeBaratan, 6 it legislators that its cnact enact ment may enable them to stand well before | referred the whole subject of the backrupt taw to a the Court of Heaven, against which they have | member of said committee, who is an eminout lawyer, and who been sinning so grievously throughout the |S’. ™ L bets Meso buon whole of the session. times.

If there has been any change on the subject in the minds of republican Senators, it is not known here by those most deeply interested. There has been no change in the affairs of Mexico to warrant any different action from the present record. THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

They say the demoor: speakers are making republican voters. THE INDIANA MARSHALSHIP, A large number of applicants for the succcesorship InpicTMENTS FoR Bripixng ALDERMEN.—The Grand Jury, we perceive, have found indict- ments against Messrs. McIntyre and Tucker for endeavoring to bribe the unpurchasable Alder- man Brady for $2,000 to cast his vote in favor of Gideon J. Tucker for President of the Cro- ton Board. This is all right; for if the indict- ment is proven the whole question, which is now somewhat involved in mystery, will be ventilated, and we shall probably learn the modus operandi in the purchase of an Alderman.
