EVENING STAR. a A EEERELON CITY “SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PREss. Tho Intelligencer’s editorial column, to-day, ‘is devoted to the work of explaining and en- forcing the prepriety of the action of the Whigs (straight-outs) of New York in refusing _ to coalesce with the Republicans, in which that journal is now so deeply interested. The Union concieves that the next national contest is to be between the Democrats and the - Black Republicans;”’ and expresses its approbation of the results at which Mr. Winthrop has arrived in his recent straight- veut Whig letter, while freely expressing its decided dissent from much of the reasoning by which that gentlemen reaches his conelu- sions. The Unton also, upon its knowledge of the * high-toned reputation” of Capt. Rey- nolds, lately dismissed by the President from the United States Army on account of ‘ de- rangements in his accounts,’’ acquits that gentleman of all suspicion of conduct in the discharge of his official duty ‘“ prejudicial to his character for strict probity and honesty.” WASHINGICN KEWS ARD GOSSIP. The California Election—In the Penn- sylvenian ef the 23d instant, we find an clab- orate cuslaught upon us, called forth by what we took occasion to say, on Thursday last, concerning the causes bringing about the de- feat of the Democrats in the recent California election. We have neither time, space, nor juclination to reply to the gross personalities and vituperative abuse with which the Penn- sylvanian assails the Star, nor to analyze its bold statements with reference to the result of lection in different counties of that State, h the writer (evidently ex-Governor bigler, of Pa.) could know no more than the man in the moon; as the details of the re- sults have not yet been received on the Atlan- tieside. The tone of the Pexnsylranian’s re ply will, however, be sufficient to satisfy sen- sible men that our strictures on this matter were sound. The idea of denying that gross and most reprehencible ccrruption existed in Calif pol , and inthe management of her public affairs, which the Penusylvanian does by implication, is most refreshing. Our allegation was that the Democratic party of Catifurnia deserved its defeat, as the legiti- mate result of the universal seramble for offices there, on the part cfimproper men—a disease raging in these days in all parties, but with perhaps greater virulence in the different par- ties in California. To prove how this disease gnaws at the vitals—the etrength—cf &party, we instanced the fact that it had destroyed the political in- tegrity of the leaders of a wing of the Democ- recy Of that State—of the Bigler and Broder- iek faction—and explained the efforts of the two B's to defeat the re-clection of Senator Gwin, after he had been fai:ly aud overwhelm- ingly renominsted as the Democratic eandi- date for the Senate. We also described the ciicumstances under which the re-nomination ot Governor Bigler was effected, to explain why it was that no exertions could suffico to reconcile to him thousands of those who had never before in their lives voted anything but a regular Democratic ticket. We cheerfully admit the charge of placing fur more confidence in the abilities, experience, ebaracter aud effectiveness of Dr. Gwin, than in these of ail bes.des who have, up to this time, appeared for Califeraia on the stage of ue ailairs here. Those who are familiar 1 the history of the legislation of Congress ecncernuing California, will doubtless agree with us on this point, and in deploring, for Or ia’ ke, that he should have fallen i, and undue ambition ch, small, compuratively, in intellect, politieal integrity, and capacity for vefulness. The Pennsylvanian says, icy. Bigler received a heavily inereated vote Digler than for any one else upon it. { increazewhowever, the fact that San iswo had rested a year under Know rule, is to be thanked—tho rest cf the Big'er wou'd doubtless have run better everywhere im the State, if instead of boldly throwing himself against bis party’s nomina- tion fur U. 8. Senator, he had simply declined fo take sides in that contest, bieing to Eimyra, «2 dung whatever he fancied to do to escape mixing up bis own polities] proepoots with the ecuse of his party, after the fashion of An- drew Juineou and other public men who are 'y men, covecrning whose positions there never arises @ question cf their thorough iden- Uilestien with those whose favor gives them “ii teir importance and strergth. We do .ot publish a perty paper, and are as iree, quite az free, to comment with inde- pen lgnce on the short-comings of Democratic peblic men and the Democratic party, as on xy otbers, Whenever we see the effect of wee ft iutegrity of political purpose we shall cer best to expose it, without caring the snap ofa Grger which party or what would- be leaders may be “riled”? or shown up by our «fforts £0 to do, The Speakership.—Though we have taken Geotsion to say little on this subject of late, we havo, severthelcss, carefully noted the signs of the times bearing on the probablo result of the approaching election for that important Position. AI! parties, or rather all cliques in ali parties represented ia the next House, have, each, their respective eandidates; until their maine is, almost, “legior.”” It iz, however, already clear to our mind that, unless great changes ia Congressional sentiment take place, no Northern man can triumph. The friends ot Mr. Seward—avowed members of the new | Republican organisation and those secretly *ympathiziog with them—will number some tixty, ia the Hall. Not ancther Northern vote ean be obtained for any Northern man iden- tified with that interest. The position of the National Intelligencer against it, so emphatic and effective, will be that ofthe small body of straight-out Whig members. The Silver Grey Know Nothjngs are equally hostile to it, and will sooner Witeess the elevation of a Demo- erat, though some of them still profess undy- dag hostility to the repeal of the Missouri re- striction. ihe Know Nothing-proper strength isa mere handful, available to effect a result only in case «f a closely contested election be- tween other iatere ts, al be Democrats, the or ly prominent man who bas strength be: i ina- tion, is Jaz. Ti, Rie ee sbility aud fairness in the chair during the two aW last sessions, have gained for him a personal popalarity as a presiding officer which we have votes to him beyond his party strength, when the canvass becomes protracted. We have heard indirectly from gentlemen occupying Positions most adyerse.to his on general poli- ties, that in case they eannot sozure the elec- tion of peraons sympathizing with themselves, they will labor to seeure Mr Orr’s elect‘on, on the ground of his superior qualifications and the scrupulous sense of justice which regu- lated all his acts as a presiding officer when called to the chair in the last Co gress. Washington as it is.—The following are the views of effairs in this city of the vet- eran Washington co:respondent of the New York Journal of Commerce. Wequote them as a matter of interest to our immediate fel- low citizens: “Wasnineton, Oct. 18. “On every side may be seen the evidence of the approaching session of the United States ever, perhaps, were more exten- sive preparation made to entertain members, visitors on business, and visitors for pleasure The year 1856 has been one of extensive build- ing in this city. Without commerce, without manufactures, without any of the rich resources of active industry, on which most of your growing towns depend, Washington has at- tained to nearly 60,000 permanent inhabitants. This number is increased with every session of Congress. Men of all grades of intellect, and of all characters, good and bad, and in- different congregate here, and eagerly pursue there various objects. Of the gen‘ler sex also there is always an abundant supply, and of various character. Curiosity and the love of enjoyment bring the ladies here, for it is re- markable that at the seat of our Republic, un- like the same influence at the seat of a Mon- arehy, Paris, for example, female intrigue in political affairs isan unknown element. Votes on minor questions, as those of pensions and claims, may be ruled by the interference of the ladies; but the gameof politics they leave t> the male politicians. A tender-hearted female like Miss Rix may plead with indefatigable fervor and potent benovolence for a bill to rc- lieve the miserable, but she is then acting in her natural sphere. She does not soil her mantle with political stains. Corruption, however, there will be, unless our public men set themselves against all tribes. And these are presented in the most specious and decep- tive forms. Moreover, it is often said here that the probability of the success of a claim befure Congress is gencrally in the direct ra- tio of its boldness and magnitude.” Mr. Commissioner Mason.—Judge Mason, of Iowa, who lately resigned the Commission- ership of Patents, is expected to return to Washington in a few days. Those who are immediately interested in the management cf the affairs of that branch of the Executive Department will be glad to hear that it is hoped, on reasonable grounds, that he wi'l resume the discharge of the duties he so lately declined. It is understood that the position has been left unfilled by the Pres?- dent, in the expectation that he might be induced to resume the place. The fact that all representing conflicting interests in con- nection with patents are extremely anxious to have him again at the head of the bureav, isthe most impressive compliment that can possibly be paid to the manner in which he acquitted himeclf when resently holding the Commissionership. Appointed.—Mr. Joseph H. Hilton has been appointed to be # watchman for the portion cf the offices of the Treasury Department located in Coreoran’s building, coracr of F and Fif- teenth streets. The Curent Oporations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 231 of October, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $410 50 For the Treasury Dopartment.... 86 For the Interior Department :... 37,473 20 24,782 33 67.651 96 10,161 82 114 50 From Lands. 287 94 On account of the Navy... 72,537 72 _ oe PERSONAL. «+++ Ex-President Tyler is at the St. Nicho- tel Hotel in New York. +++» The Beltimore Republican, of yester- day afternoon, regrets to eay that the Wask= ington Union was misinformed as to the Hon Heary May’s health. -‘He is still quite un- well, and it is the opinion cf his friends he will not be able to speak again during the campaign.”’ A fine boy named Frazer fell upon his knife while running a race with other boys at Bigbee Vulley, Mississippi ; the blade entered his heart, and he died before his father, who was one of the umpires, could reach him. ++++ In the Court ef Quarter Sesstobs. Phil: adelphia, on Monday, a yong German woman, vamed Johanoa Wilbemina Schelinski, being gn trial on the charge of stealing $137 from Joseph Shoemaker, iu whose house she was living as a domestic, there was euch an array of witnesses on the part of the defendant a3 tocharacter and to the posseesion of money by her, that the jury had no difficulty in rer- dering a verdict «f not guilty. Johanna was 80 overjoyed with the verdict that she wept aloud, and embraced all her friends in the court room, not excepting the lawyer who de- fended her we Passmore WILLIAMsoN'’s CAse was before Judge Kane, (in Philadelphia,) on Monday, on petition, iu which his attorneys reviewed. the subject of his incarceration. According to the ger, Judze Kane gave the counsel to un- derstand that the first step was for Wiliiam- son to page himself of the contempt cf court, for which he is now in restraint, before his pe- tition vould be received, though he would lis- ten to an argument upon his right to be heard by such petition. Our cotemporary says: “If he (Williamzon) were to state the facts frankly and unequivocally, for the purpose of possess- ing the court with the true state of the case, and not quibbingly or evasively, to avoid re- sponsibility, he would b doing, in our opin- is duty towards himself and fj ily, and be showing a proper respect and submission to the laws, which position certainly can never lower any man in bis own self-respect or that of the community in which he recides His present position is regarded by the public as ver Ly ea towards the law, in which he orfeits the sympxthy of the public, and gets bo credit for herelans a : , — Ben ONT ALLOW THE RAIN TO revent you from yoing to {MAN TONIGHT. “y ‘om going tosee WYMAN ref 1856, for the deli frateraally invited to be ~ : Tor yo ag Vapi it stan’ o’clock, as business ance will» be subautied for consideration, on of officers will take .
