The election: in the State of NeW York has resulted in t fevor,ClAM,Dtentherats by such a plurality as insures the restoration of-that party to its fortnerlseendiney is the EmpireState'.

Strange that in proportion as such men, have partially detached themselves from, the, old Opposition party in ;Massachu setts, some standing entirely Meer, and others co•operating against that opposition, ihost of little leaders should be able to wield the ma jority of the State, and control the masses of the people, who are boastfully intelligent, and loud in self-praise of their own moral, physi cal, and finaricial superlinity We'can account for it upon no other theory than that Massa chusetts seems to be ready to adopt every ism that wiil,lead to bitterness lu,the South, turd to the disintegration of . any, party co operating with'tbe Southern people. But what a subject- for contemplation is the overthrow of WaI&AK U.

Thesi causes - had altogether so loaded doWn that party, so deprived it of every claim upon intelligent confidence and consideration, that,' like ,the drunken giant, it was rapidly reeling to its own 'overthrow, when the mighty arm of a recuperated and 'reunited Democracy pushed it from its eminence : [Prom Thursday's New, York Tribune.] , We need notrepeatwhat the journals and speak ers of be triumphant party have all along insisted -that this is a verdict not against "bleeding Kan sas," nor on COY slavery issue, but foi"bleeding New York." The people were persistently told that the Kansas, question was settled—that no preotioal issue respecting slavery remained open— and, that our !net Legislature bad been prodigal, - corrupt, tyrannioal, and bad plunged the State into all manner of - ilnanotal embarrassments and Weighed down her tax-payers with unneeessary burdens. We did not believe this—do not believe It now—but a majority did, and, by lotion, or in action, produced the result to w hich we bow. , We know that the prineiples of the Itepublioans are Still cherished by a large majority of outfellow °Wiens, and we Artist they will make this manifest on an early occasion. In that faith, we work and wait., THE COURSE OF GOY. WALKER. Wo, ought to feel, as we do feel, gratified that the position of Tus Pans in reference to the course of Gov. ,WALKER in Kansas; and particularly in , support of his refesid to do that act, as the representative of the Federal GoVeminent, which would dishonor any, indi vidual-Viz : the act of endorsing a forgery, with the fact of the forgery confessed and op- , parent to himself-;-ie so warmly and widely ap plauded, not merely by those who agree with us, in political sentiment, but' by all men who have carefully regarded the progress of events in Kansas since the sth day of October. The next step in the drama will be'upon the ques lion of subMitting the Constibition, shortly to be framed, to the people. • .• It is curious to note' the misty incongruities of those , who oppose the submission of the Constitution to' the people of 'Kansas That clasp of emulate who have been clathoring for the • last year against popular sovereignty, and , have been poisoning the public mind of the South with the idea that the only time when the popular vote of the Territory can, be fairly exercised upon the question of slavery, (if at all,) is when the Territory has ~preptired to come into the Union as. s,,State, are getting into' a sad di-' lemtna when they argue against submitting the Constitittion'of Ovule State of Kansas to the voters, ,created under that Constitution. In 0 • other words, they deny the binding force of a malority' obtained ,at the :ballot-boxes before theiConstitution is framed and established, on the; plea that the Constitution must fix the qualifications of the , voters;, and yet when that - Constitution has fixed these qualiflca tioes, and has stated in" distinct tams whO shill, and shall not, participate in the right •of suffrage; these same gentlemen refuse to commit their own Constitution to the'very citizens created by that Constitution I - If Governor WALKER can persuade the , convention to let their work go to the people of Kansas, he will not only do a good thing for the country, but will save some highly respect ,able -gentlemen from a most embarrassing and awkward inconsistency. EM(ILISH CIIARTISM. , In the intelligence from England, by the 'Canada, there is one item of more imieKtanee than may generally be imagined. It announces that the Chartists were about having a Con vention in London, under the leadership of Kr; JOHJSI Plum, for the purpose of agitating thumaases . upon the subject :of Parliamentary Refoni—ths ,necessity, in Great Britain, at , thl time. , ' • pears „ ,!Twenty-five ago,the British Perna-, Meta,. after a prolonged contest of two years, (during which a large portion of the city of ,Brintol , was destroyed by fire, after some dread fnl!ricits ;, the towns of Nottingham and Derby' Were also subjected to riots, bloodshed, and conflagration, and the Birmingham Political Union threatened •to march 100,000 of its armcd members into London.) enacted a series of three statutes by ' which exten. sive changes were made in the representative - system'of the United lc.ingdom of Great Bri. taro and Ireland. These changes were very powerfully and ,ably resisted by Lord LYND :num, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, JOHN sea Oltenia, and other prominent parliament arians on the Tory side. These measures of Reform were introduced when the late Bari Gnkr was Premier, and supported, among. others, by the 'eloquence and ability of Lord BROUGHAII, Sir JAMES GRAHAN, Lord Sv.ti- Lax (the present Earl of Derby,) . Lord Dun. HAM, THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY, FRAN CIS. IBBFRET, Lord JOHN RURSELL, DANIEL ,O'CoNNELI,, and a great many more of the party then considered f 4 Liberal.” England almost passed through a Revolution during two years of political excitement while the Reform Bill was in agitation. The House of 'Lords resisted it to the last—but the good ,sense of "the Duke" conquered them, and, at his suggestion, about 180 peers dually .ab stained from participating in the enactment of the'measure, not attending' Parliament, and of course not speaking or voting, until the mea sure was carried into a law, without their ac tive resistance or their aid. Much more was expected from this modicum of Parliamentary Reforin than it has yielded. For "It kept the word of promise to the ear And broke it to the hope." •The People, who almost made a Civil War to obtain it, speedily discovered how weak and one-sided It really was. For ,the measure was very weak, after all the agitation—partly be cause the Tory Opposition in the Rouse of Commons was able to obtain alterations which weakened the original propositions, and partly because the Whig lords who had obtained of fice on the promise of granting Parliamentary Reform were haunted with an oligarchie dread of giving too much power to the People. The measure was eminently one-sided. There were numerous boroughs, in which, by the influence of property, ,residence, or old family connexion, certain peers and wealthy private gentlemen could almost command to elect whomthey (peers and commoners) might name. But there were as many Whig as Tory borough-mongers. The Reform Bill cleverly abolished most of the boroughs in which Tory influence prevailed. But it adroitly perpetuated the domination of Whig, nobles and gentry in many other boroughs. The only actual gain to the public was that many largo towns which were not specially represented by mem bers of their own, obtained the right of having members of Parliament. There is something ludicrous in the idea of a place like Old Sarum, which did not con tain even one house, and bad not one inhabi tant for centuries, returning two members of Parliament, while Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, and other towns of vast wealth and large popu lation, being without any direct representation. The Reform Bill amended that anomaly—but it has perpetuated, to this day, the ‘, June. once " of certain Whig lords in many boroughs. Thus, the Duke of Bedford's nominee sits for Tavistock and Bedford, the Marquis of Lansdowne returns whom be Pleases for the borough of Caine, and so on, pretty folly through the peerage. Discontented with the Reform Bill, which neither reduced taxation nor Increased the wages of labor, the bulk of the People de termined to obtain the reform of the measure Itself. They found a leader in Firineus O'Couson; a red-hot Irishman, with a seat in Parliament, who was, perhaps, the beat stumP ;oratOr in England. What with fiery speeches in Parliament, fierce harangues against the Aris tocracy at public meetings, and a perpetual vol ley at them, in Lie weekly paper, rhe ,Northern Star,'(with a circulation of over 800,000 at one :time,),FEssmus O'Conttou kept up, pretty ve hement agitation against the Reform• Bill. It had been the habit, while there was great ex citement in favor of this measure, to boast of it, as fg The New Magna Charts." At this, Famine O'Dontoa laughed, as well he might, and fleclaredthat he would frame a real Char ter,, under which Democracy should be exalted. Me, Inv, tip nob document—he called it l' The People's Oharter"—and hence its advo cates were named Chartists. In England, for many years, Chartism was considered absurd and vulgar.' In Parliament, •O'Contioa had only two or three supporters— 'THOMAS kINOSSE DUMMER and the late JOHN FIELEINO.' 'At Newport, in South Wales, (in 'November; 1889,) there was a Chartist rising, headed by Jiang Pam, who was actually mayor of the town, which was soon put down, and ended in FROST'S being transported—he ti o a a n a tletl yw as p aned, r o d h o art s m a , n o d n h t e h a e d m s the o n r a e b w l e a g 1 l o t tah of April, 1848, which spoke so loudly and acted so timely in London, that the leaders 'slunk awaY,'alarmed by the swearing in of spe cial constables. :But now, when Lord PALIIER STON is pledged 'to bring in a new Reform Bill, next year, and when Lord JonN RUSSELL is sup posed to have a similar measure cut-and-dried in his pocket, and something must be done, a legal organization of the People, to press for a measure which will not be what CARLYLE calli if a sham," assumes a highly Important character—particularly as the People will be in earnest, while no one believes that PALMER STON or Lord Jong really are, on this point. One is a Tory, the other is a Whig, and very little do such mere party-men care for the People. • • 'The Charter demands five things—viz : An nual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, Payment of Members, no Property Qualification for mem bers, and that every man over twenty-one shall vote at the Elections. In fact, the Chartists aim at adapting the American prin. ciple,of Representation to the institutions of England. No American will think that the Charter, with these "Five Points," (as they are called,) makes any extravagant demand. In England, hitherto, these points have been branded, by Whig and Tory alike, as uncon stitutional and almost treasonable I If the Convention play the game prudently, they may obtain all that Chadian requires. PAL. MERSTON is likely to have' no easy' time of it during the coming Parliamentary Session. FRANK. WORDS TO OFR OITY FATHERS The following comments upon the proposed action of the City Councils on the city war rants are from the pen of one of the ablest and most correct thinkers of the day : , lam often asked, What shall be done to redeem the credit of the city? I answer, adopt the ethics of Franklin: do right; act justly, for discredit is generally the result of wrong doing. The city, I understand, has been issuing orders or warrants to the teachers of the public schools and others for the payment of their dues, when there was no money in the treasury to meet them. This was wrong. What would become of the credit of the richest house in Philadelphia, were they to adopt the same course? It would go where the credit of the city has gone—into discredit and degradation. Let me illustrate. Suppose any house should com mence giving cheeks on the Bank of North Ame rica when they had no money on deposits, and When the holder of one of their dishonored checks should go back to them and say, The bank won't pay this check—you have no money on deposit'; the firm might say, Never mind we are good enough; we are able to pay. But that don't give the holder of the check the money, who wants 'to pay his debts and buy supplies of, food for hie hungry family. No; the holder of this cheek, though the drawers be abundantly able to pay, is compelled to ge into the hands of the shaver and sell the order on the bank at ten, fifteen, or twenty' per cent. discount. Now, everybody would say this was very wrong in this house, and they, for such acts, must reap their reward—the discredit of their firm for wrong doing. Their credit, which, had they acted honestly, and not have given the cheek when there was'no money in deposit, would have been as good as gold, and, but for this, their name would have commanded the money at the lowest rate of interest in the money market. Is thlsnot just what our city fathers have been doing? These, warrants on the treasury, when there was no money to pay them, was a falsehood, and, of course, must share the fate of every other falsehood! Of what 'use for a philanthropist to devote his time to the visitation of the pnblio schools, preaching morality and right doing to the pupils when the teachers turn round and say, how can we, impress these immortal minds with the practical importance of honesty and doing right when our city fathers give no orders on the treasury and there is no money there to pay theta? Is it not plain to see that before giving these warrants when there was no money to pay them, Ms city should have borrowed the money on the best Serves they could to ply them? Every re flecting and honest mind will say yes ! But say these city fathers, now that they have perpetrated 'the wrong, let us do justice to the holders of these warrants and pay them interest. But does that remedy the evil and restore the lost credit of the city? Not at all ! It but sinks the credit of the pity in deeper degradation. It is virtually saying, We are good enough, and so long as we pay you the interest—lwo will pay the principal when we please. „ Can two wrongs ever make a right? " But now, •sa to the remedy for this error under this 'degraded credit, It is very (dear, in times like the present, no sane man wilt lend Jimm a dollar, much less a capitalist. Instead of adding interest, in which I see nothing but adding insult to injury, let them be received for taxes and all dues to the city ; thus absorbing them and get ting them eat of the way. By thus doing, there will be an increased amount of taxes paid in, and this honest course of action will inspire confidence in capitalists and real-estate owners, who, when they see a firm resolution of our city fathers to hdopt the ethics of Penn and Franklin to do right and pay up, will come to the rescue; for self-interest, that ruling passion of our nature, will prompt them tq this; for 'tie perfectly plain that this degraded credit of the city equally de grades the value of real estate—for who would bo induced to settle even in this " Olty of Brotherly Love"--by a continuance of this system of wrong. Real estate will cease to be a saleable com modity, and the finest estates of the city will go begging for purchasers. Right-doing is the base on Weigh credit is founded, and credit will flow froncthenee as happiness flows front right-dotng at least so thinks ono of more than forty years' ex ' portent* in monetary affairs. Ores Wuo Navies. BRADY, THE PHOTOGRAPHIST. At the World's Fair of 1851, in London, the prineipal prize for the best-executed photographs, of all sizes and desoriptions, was awarded to Mr. Brady, of New York. We perceive that, yielding to the pressure of the times, he has Out down his prices one-half. This certainly le the time to ob tain likenesses. Some Idea of Mr. Brady's immense practice may be formed from the foot that, during the past year, he executed about 30,000 portraits. Mr. Brady has two establishments in New York. Both aro in Broadway—one, long established, is near the Astor House, and just opposite Barnum's the other, at No. 359 Broadway, occupying the ex tensive premises over Thompson's saloon. At this latter place, he has collected a gallery of portraits; whloh really will be invaluable, after a few years. Already, indeed, many of Mr. Brady's eminent sitters have departed to " that bourne from which no traveller returns." Among these are William L. Marcy, Major Noah, and Dr. Rana. Nearly every political diameter of importance, during the last ten years, who has visited New York, has eat to Mr. Brady. Among the Presi dents are Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Van Buren, General, Pierce, Mr. Tyler, and Mr. Fillmore. There, also, are Col. Fremont, General Cass, Thomas H. Ben ton, R. J. Walker, Daniel S. Dickinson, James Guthrie, N. P. Banks, (the newly-elected Gover nor of Massachusetts,) and a variety of others. A great many foreign portraits are also in view in Mr. Brady's gallery, among which we would especially notion Louis Napoleon and Lord Ma caulay. in fast, every one whose portrait is worth having, seems to have made a point of giv ing a few seconds to Mr. Brady—for his operation is instantaneous, and he takes portraits, equally well, in cloudy or bright weather, and at any hour of the day—and he has wisely preserved a dupli• Bate for his own vlieetion, until he has formed what must be considered one of the most interest ing "Institutions" of New York. In the departments of Art and Letters, this col lodion is particularly rich. There may be found the portrait of almost every literary max of re pute in the Union, with all the "distinguished " 'foreign authors who have visited this country, Dr. Charles Mackay Winded—we mean the lyric poet who has sung of that "Good time coming," which, it must be confessed, journeys tit a re. markably slow pace. As for newspaper editors, the oollection abounds in them, running as far up as William Cullen Bryant, and as low down as Cornelius Matthews. Among the other literati are Henry C. Carey, and John G. Saxe, Bancroft and Ballots, Edgar A. Poe and Griswold who did his "Life," and took his reputation. There, too, among the artists, is the grave and thoughtful face of Professor Morse, who invented the Electric Telegraph. But tho artists are represented, in Brady's Gallery, almost as fully as the editors are. We should not omit mentioning that Miss Homer, the New England sculptor, is among them. Actors and singers abound In this gallery, and among the latest additions aro Charles Mathews and Charlotte Cushman. New York is the resort of "stars," and Brady catches them all. But we cannot attempt to do more than indicate that Mr. Brady has such a Photographic Gallery— the most extensive of the sort in the world. The styles in which those portraits are executed are various. The prices range from one dollar to thirty. The last price is that of the most exact and splendid Imperial Photograph—the very per. rotten of this beautiful and eglantine urt. The full lengths are admirable. There, also, are life. sloes photographed on canvas and finished In oil— resembling, with an accuracy which the pencil can• not reach, the ordinary oil-paintings. There are life. size medallions, (reduced from $lO to $30,) which aro durable as well as accurate, and rival the finest per formances of Bully and Neagle, Elliot and Cefferty. There Is the life•eise crayon, executed by the sun —but ineffaceable. And there are crayon vig nettes, particularly adapted for ladles and chit dren, so delicate Is the (mention. Mr. Brady has been eminently successful in his large group-sometimes bringing thirty figures to. gather at once. They are well adapted, (from their price also,) where a whole family are to be grouped Into one view. Miniature photographs (imitating ivory,) ambrotypes, and photographs, which resemble water-color pictures, are also among Mr. Brady's novelties. We have said enough to show the interest and yiluo of suolt a Portrait Gallery ae Mr. Brady, he Igg PIMS§O..PHILAtittPIitA 4 NOVEMI3I/11 6, 1857. oolleotedi to which additions are continually being made, It is a hundred times more extensive and complete then the collection of Mr. Matlot, the degoorrootypiet of London. 'The priors of the portraits is much less, also, and the execution 6UO. oessfully rivals that of the best artists in the world. We recommend all country cousins who go to New York to visit the Brady Gallery. There they can see an unique collection, and perhaps the reduced rates may tempt them, even though money be scares, to give Mr. Brady a sitting, on the cer tainty of obtaining a thoroughly satisfactory like ness at half price. BY 'MIDNIGHT MAIL. IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON Indian News from Oregon—Murder of Col. Ebey by British Indians—lnteresting Letter from Brigham Wong on 'lndian Affairs in Utah. [Correspondence of The Press ] The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received a letter from J. W. Nesmith, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Oregon and Washington Terri tories, communicating the details of the murder of Col. J. N. Eboy, at his residence on Whitby Island. The Indians who perpetrated the murder were from the British possessions, to the north of Puget's Sound. Those aro a Sem, warlike, and athletic race, euperior in every respect to any Indians on Baoifie coast. They have large canoes, some of which will oarry ono hundred men, and in which they proceed to Bea with perfect safety. For several years they have been in the habit of visiting the settlements on the sound, sometimes for the par pose of trade, and at other times to eommit depre dations upon our people. Tho immense canoes possessed by these Indians afford them the most rapid facilities for communi cation with all portions of tho settlements on the sound. They are well supplied with arms and ammunition, procured from the British traders of the north, and have the power to indict, as they have done, great injury. It is recommended that two small armed steamers should be stationed at or near the straits of Fuse, to intercept these marauders. Unless this be done there is danger of the settlements on the sound being broken up. Every effort was making to ferret out and punish the murderers of Col. Ebey. The Commissioner has also received the following report from Brigham Young, whioh, at this time, will be read with great interest : OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT Or INDIAN AFFAIRS, G. S. L. city, Sept. 12, 1857. Sla : Enclosed please find abstraet amount cur rent and vouchers from 1 to 35 inclusive (also at). street of employees), for the current quarter up to this date, as, owing to the stoppage of the mail, I have deemed it hest to avail myself of the opportu nity of gentling, by private conveyanee, not know ing when I may have another chance. The ex penditures, as you will observe by the papers. amount to $6,411.38, for which I have drawn my draft on the Department in favor of Hon. John M. Hernhiael, delegate to Congress from this Terri tory. You will also observe that a portion of these expenditures accrued prior to this quarter. which may need a word of explanation. Santa Clara is- in Washington county, the extreme southern county of this Territory, and this labor was commenced and partly performed, seeds, grain, do., furnished prior to the time that Major Arm strong visited those parts of the Territory; hence failed to find its way into his reports, and failed being included in mine, because the accounts and vouchers were not sooner brought in, and bones not settled. Until recently, but little has been effeoted in that part of the Territory at the ex pense of the Government, although much has been done by the citizens in aiding the Indians with tools and instruction in cultivating the earth The bands mentioned are parts of the Piede tribe of Indians, who aro very numerous, but only in part inhabit this Territory. These Indians are more easily induced to labor than any others in the Territory, and many of them are now engaged in the common pursuits of civilized life. Their requirements are constant for wagons, ploughs, spades, hoes, teams, and harness, Am., to enable them to work to advantage. In like manner the Indians in Cache Valley have received but little at the expense of the Go vernment, although a sore tax upon the people. West and along the line of the California and Oregon travel they continue to make their contri butions, and I am sorry to add. with considerable loss of life to the travellers. This is what I have always sought, by all means in my power, to avert, but I find it the most difficult of any portion to control. I have for many years succeeded better than this. I learn, by report, that many of the lives of the emigrants and considerable quantities of pro perty have been taken. Thiele principally owing to a company of some three or four hundred returning Californians who travelled these roads last spring to the Eastern States, shooting at every Indian they could see--a practice utterly abhorrent to all good people, yet I regret to gay, one which has been indulged in to a great extent by travellers to and from the Eastern States and California. Hence the Indiana regard all white men alike as their enemies, and kill and plunder wheiever they can do so with impunity, and often the Irmo bent suffer for the deeds of the guilty. This has always been one of the greatest difficulties that I have had to contend with in the administration of Indian affairs in this Territory. It is bald to make an Indian believe that the whites are heir friends, and the Great Father wishes to do them gocd, wnon - perhaps - the very next party wifich crosses their path shoots them down like wolves. This trouble with the Indians only exists along the line of travel west and beyond the influence of our settlements. The Shosonos are not hostile to travellers, so far as the inhabit in this Terri tory,exoept, perhaps, a f e w "Snake Dig gers," who inhabit, as before stated, along the line of travel west of the settlements, There have, however, been more or less depredations the present season north and more within the vicinity of the settlements, owing to causes above mentioned, and I find it of the utmost difficulty to restrain them. The sound of war quickens the blood and nerves of as Indian. The report that troops were wending their way to this Territory has also had its intluonee upon them. In one or two inetanoes this was the reason assigned why they made the attacks which they did upon some horde of cattle. They seemed to think, if it was to be war, they might as well begin to lay in a supply of food when they had a chases. If Inm to have the direction of the Indian drain of this Territory, and am expeoted to maintain friendly relations with the Indians, there are a few things that 1 would most respectfully suggest to be done: First, That travellers omit their infamous prao tics of ehooting them down when they happen to see ono. Whenever the eitisena of this Territory travel the roads they aro In the habit of giving the Indians food, tobacco, and a few other presents, and the Indians expect some such trifling favor, and they are emboldened by this practice to come up the road with a view of receiving such presents; when, therefore, travellere from the States male their appearance, they throw themselves in eight with the same view, and when they are shot st, and some of their number killed, as has frequently been the case, we cannot but expect them to wreck their vengeance upon the next company. Secondly. That the Government should mate more liberal appropriations to be expended in presents. I have proven that it is far cheaper to road and clothe the Indians than to fight them. I find, moreover, that after all, when the fighting is over, it is always followed by extensive presents, which, if properly distributed in tho first instance, might have averted the fight. In this ease, the; the expense of presents is the same, and it la trio in nine-tenths of the eases that have happened. Third, the troops must bo kept away, for it lea prevalent fact that wherever them are the most of these, wo may expect to find the greatest moult of hostile Indians, the least security to permits and property. If them three Items could bo complied with, I have no hesitation in saying that, so far as Utah is concerned, travellers could go to and from, pus and repass, and no Indian would disturb or molest them or their property. In regard to my drafts, it appears that the De partment is indisposed to pay them—for what reason lam at a loss to conjecture. lam swam that Congress separated the office of Superir tendent of Indian Affairs from that of Governor; that the salary of Governor remained the same fur his gubernatorial duties, and that that of Gas Superintendent woe $1,500. I do think that inas much as I perform the duties of both offices, that am entitled to the pay appropriated for both, ani trust you will no consider. I have drawn age's for the expenditure of this present quarter, to above set forth. Of course, you will do as yes please about paying, as you have with the drafts for the two last quarters. The Department has often manifested its ap proval of the management of the Indian affairs it this superintendency, and never its disapproval Why, then, should I bo 'subjected to such an noyance in regard to obtaining the funds for de fraying its expenses? Why should I be de nied to salary ? Why should appropriation' made for the benefit of the Indians of GM Territory he retained in the treasury, and Ind, viduale left unpaid ? Those are questions I loam for you to answer at your leisure, sad meals while submit to such course in relation thereto is you shall see fit to direct. I have the honor to ho ho., year ob't servant, .13111011 AM YOUNG, Governor and ox-officio Superintendent of Indiar Affairs, Utah Territory. lion. JAMES W. DENVIR, Com. Indian Affairs Washington, D.

Walker tali:arma is dividing the attention of the politiciand here with the result of the recent elections in New York and Massa &matte. His conduct in refusing to countenance the fraud of "the Oxford precinct" is upheld uni versally, and hero let me say that the leader in THE Panes of Tuesday on that question , meets with the approbation of all good men. It takes the proper view of the question and echoes the uni versal sentiment of the party in the State. The Democracy of Pennsylvania have ever upheld the constitutional rights of the South, through evil as well as through good report, and cannot, therefore, be justly charged with any sympathies with Aboli tionism in approving the action of Gov. Walker in his efforts to sustain the purity of the ballot box. The same disgraceful game which has boon at tempted in Kansas was played in this State in 1838 by Ritner, Stevens, & Co., and filled the capital with armed men and excited citizens, which came near resulting in civil war. It might—indeed, it most probably would—have had an equally disas trous finale in 1858 if the thing had been sustained. Agreeably to a provision of the Constitution, the Secretary of the State yesterday proceeded to the hall of the House, and In presence of Governor Pollock, read the returns for Supreme Judges.

Mr.Ashton,from the Committee on Water Works, reported the following : Resolved, That the bill from the Germantown Water Company for $350.88 be referred to the Committee on Claims, and that the Committee on Water Works be discharged from the further con sideration of the subject. Agreed to. Also, a resolution authorizing the Chief Engineer of the Water Works to employ two temporary clerks in the office of the Register of Water Rents for the space of sixty days each, at the rate of $B5O per annum cash. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Foster presented a report from Committee on Surveys relative to Cohooksink creek culvert. The report states the great necessity of the work, and of its immediate prosecution. It provides that satisfactory evidence shall be furnished by the contractors to the Chief Commissioner of Highways that full payment has bean made for all labor don and materials furnished for the preceding month, before he shall draw or sign a warrant for the final estimate of any work done by virtue of this ordi nance. The Chief Commissioner of Highways shall require full and entire payment by the con tractors of all labor and materials on account of such work, and the said commissioners shall give ono month's notice in two daily papers, of the time at which final payment will be Made on each and every contract. The ordinance on this subject, which authorizes the construction of the Cohocksink creek, Vino street, Moore street. and Twenty-fifth street cul verts, was reported book by Mr. Foster, from the Committee on Surveys, with certain amendments. The bill is No. 17 on Common Council file. After a lengthy and uninteresting debate, the ordinance was passed. A message was received from the Mayor, notify ing the Chamber that he had signed and approved certain ordinances and resolutions. Mr, Bradford, from the Committee on Poliao, preeentod a report on the subject of repairing the station house of the Nineteenth ward, recommend ing the adoption of the ordinance of Common Council approprlatin6. $2,800 for the purpose of erecting a new house in that ward. A. number of ordinances and resolutions from Common Council were concurred in; after which the Chamber adionrned. COMMON COUNCIL A message was received from Mayor VIIIIX dis approving of the system of itemizing appropria tions to the different departments, and vetoing the ordinance authorizing a transfer of certain items of the appropriation to the Guardians of the Poor. Ho particularly disapproved of the transfer of 51,200 of tho out-of-door relief fund to the manu facturing department of the Almshouse. Mr. Mueller moved that they reconsider the resolution vetoed by the Mayor, which was agreed to. Mr. Hacker said the Mayor vetoed this resolu tion upon his own presumption. He thought the Guardians of the Poor knew better what wee want ed for that department than the Mayor. Tho ayes and nays wore called, and the resolu tion passed by a vote of 39 to 14, viz : YEAS—Messrs. Alexander, Arnold, Black, Col hoop, Day, Deal. Drayton, Faulkner, Filler, Gin nodo, Hacker, Handy, Hutchinson, Jones, Kane, Keller, Kerr, King, Kneass, Mang, Makins, Mo ocher.

A message was received from the Mayor disap proving of the resolution, adopted at a previous meeting, calling upon the beads of departments to retrench—to curtail their expenditu-18, and upon our citizens to extend their mai- .lIIICO to the Municipal Government—all of which gas published last week. 1,800 321 300 NO 1,000 000 Mr. Holman moved to lay the message on the table. The Chair decided this motion out o' order. Mr. Masoher moved that the "veto message" be returned to the Mayor, as this was a subject with which the Mayor had no business. " - The Chair decided the motion out of order. Mr. Miller moved that they proceed to consider the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. Hacker thought, in this case, the Mayor had fur exceeded his duty; ho had no right to veto a simple resolution of recommendation. He declared this message nothing but Buncombe— political effusion thrown out to catch the people. 'llls message was a mere squib thrown out by the Mayor for political purposes. Ho considered tho publication of this message by the Mayor an out rage. Mr. Miller thought the Mayor pursued a proper course, if he differed in opinion with them. A citizen had said to him that Councils, at their former mooting, acted very strangely. For in stance : early on that day they passed a resolution calling upon the heads of the aetiartmonts to re trench their expenditure!, and in an hour or two afterwards they adopted a resolution to purchase the Sedgely Park at a loss of 560,000! Ho moved to postpone the resolution for the present. Mr. lineass was surprised that such a message should have been issued by the Mayor. There was nothing Improper in these resolutions. The first culls upon the heads of the departments to re trench, and the second calls upon the people to pay up their taxes. Ho thought the Mayor had for gotten himself and wandered in his message to sub jects entirely foreign to the resolutions. Mr. Miller thought the Chamber had made a mistake in sending this message to the Mayor. if be had acted right. be would have returned it to us without reading. He thought Councils had made a mistake, and should like men ac knowledge It. $Mr. Ridgway thought the Mayor had acted right. He had said in substance that they bad bettor attend to their business and be would attend to his. Mr. 'Tolman urged the adoption of the resolution over the Mayor's veto. Councils bad laid down a certain line of policy, and the Mayor had thought proper to run coveter to it. Mr. Moocher said : Mr. President, I have long ago ceased to be surprised at anything emanating front the Mayor of this city. I have witnessed so many of his ecoontricities that I look upon this one as a matter of eourso. Tie has un dortakon to veto resolutions with which he lied nothing to do These resolutions do not require his signature or approval to make them of binding effect. They were sent to hint by mistake, and ought to have been re turned by him to the clerks, and not to Councils. The resolutions merely request the exercise of economy by the departments, the police depart ment included ; honoo it appears that the Mayor at tempts to be both judge and jury upon his o wet ease, or if wo allow him to have his own way, ho would be judge, jury, and defendant; and if wo receive this message . from him, Councils will have yielded that soporvision over the police dopartmont en joined upon us by the Consolidation act and by ordinance. This veto of the Mayor is on a par with the one he sent to the late Common Council, vetoing the admission of the Union Engine company and the Cohookelnk Ilose company two weeks after they had become a law without his signature! The latter was, as an act of charity towards the Mayor, laid upon the table, but I trust that the present veto will bo returned to him for his digestion. Tho anxiety exhibited by the Mayor to have his demagoguism displayed to the public, manifests it self in the foot that he had it published In the pub lie papers before it was properly presented and rend before the Chamber. It was not my intention to notice any arguments contained in his message, for the reason that It is not properly before us, but the publicity given to his views by the publication referred to justifies a short reply. First, be ridiculed the idea of uni versal bankruptcy From this it appears that the Mayor in his obtuseness and luxury has as yet failed to discover that there exists a universal pros tration of the industrial pursuits of this city and country; that all the monetary institutions of this State and Union are broke, and that in come queues of both, a monetary crisis, unparalleled in the history of our country, afflicts our people. But it Is not to be expected that the Mayor, in the en joyment of $3,500 por annum, should become cogni zant of the want and privation, brought on in part by the extravagance advocated and practised by him, which Millets our people. Secondly, Mr. Presi dent, these resolutions do not refer to the kind of re trenchment he supposes. They do not contem plate the suspension of all necessary work, but they do refer to the necessary expenses of his as well as other departments of the city—expenses, the incurring of which neither contribute to the welfare of our tax-payers, nor famish to laboring classes employment, for which he pretends to have as much sympathy. The resolutions and Councils deprecate the system of feeding at the public ex pense, fie illegally practised by most of the de paitmonts of tho city. Councils deprecate the 'system of plunder known to exist in some of the departments, and also the contracting of debts, as practised by the police as well as some of the other departments without authority of law. The Mayor knows no difference between economy and parsi mony—between a reckless and a judicious expen diture of money. Thirdly, The Mayor endeavors to induce the Councils to believe that he is favorable to the re duction in the price of gas Futile simplicity! Does he suppose that we have forgotten that he has vetoed the only bill for the purchase of these works (page 873, appendix C. C. journal) that is ever likely to pass? Fourthly, It is decidedly refreshing to see the Mayor extolling the economy of his department. He says that $19,988.54 wan saved by his depart ment in 1856. If this was true, how does he no count for over $15,000 appropriated to his depart ment thin year to pay for the expenses incurred without authority of law, last year? Again, I ask how much credit belongs to him for the saving of $113,202 over that of 1855 7 Did he assist in 1855 in having the "police force reduced to 700 men? I think not. 1W efforts to have his force increased, both here and at Harrisburg, forbid each an assumption. Fifthly. The Mayor, in his message, attempts to throw ridicule upon a judicious system of itemizing the appropriation bills, as practised by the late Councils, as enjoined by acts of Assembly, and dictated by common sense. At this, however, we need not be surprised. Kings and despots seldom submit to a control and supervision of their cash accounts ! But the crowning glory of his message exhibits itself in the last clause thereof. He there admits that Councils anticipated his recommenda tion by passing the very measure be now re commends. Under these circumstances, would it not have been more creditable to him to have thrust his message into the fire, instead of before the public? But, air, I have said enough to convict the Mayor of gross inconsistency and an unwarrantable in terference with the duties of Councils. Let the clerk return the would-he message, and let him repent of his folly. Mr. Parker hoped they would adopt the reso lution. He referred to the "Bread Meeting," held a few days ago, and thought the Mayor issued this message for a little Buncombe—a little political favor. He hoped Councils would administer to him a proper rebuke. He did not know whether or net the Mayor was a candidate for re-election. He was astonished that the Mayor should veto a resolution selling upon the citizens to pay their taxes so they could pay their warrants and inte rest on their loans. The fault of the non-payment of the warrants laid with the citizens who refuse to come up and pay their taxes. Mr. Stevenson thought this was a great country. It contained fools enough to split rails and rascals enough to make posts to fence it in. He thought the Mayor was poking fun at them. He alluded to the inconsistentoeurse pursued by Councils, and thought the Mayor should have written them down asses. Mr. Miller thought the Mayor had act rightly ; that the resolutions were submitted for concur rence, and the Mayor had made a popular hit in his reply. Mr. Steel said there was not a sentence in these resolutions which called for each a message. If the Councils made dunces of themselves, it was no excuse for the Mayor following their example by making a fool of himself. More than this, the message had been laid before the public before it became the property of Councils. He was ashamed of this whole matter, and if there was any dignity left in that body not ono man would Tote against the resolution. Mr. King thought the Mayor was acting Na• poleon the 111. Ito was pandering to a feeling which existed among certain classes of our people, that the Government must furnish them with bread. This message was laid before the public and acted upon at a certain meeting before it be came the property of that Chamber. This was only fostering the festering sore which already ex isted in their midst. He denounced the massage as childish and foolish.

Lawrence Hotel.— The accurate details which we have given of the terrible tragedy at the SL Lawrence Rotel are still fresh in the minds of oar readers. In nume rous circles yesterday, they were the theirs of much comment, and various opinions were enter tained relative to the extent of the guilt of the murderer, Thomas W. smith, who is in close con finement at Moyamensing prison. From conver sations which we have had with those who know the history of the parties in this atTair, we are able to present an authentic account of the previous characterof both of them. The prisoner was per fectly cool and collected in his cell during yester day. He has expressed not a single regret at the crime which alleged outrages indnoed him to com mit, but rather bears the appearance of one who is well satisfied with having performed a commenda ble deed. Richard Carter, Esq., the victim of this most shocking murder, came to this country between twenty.tive and thirty years ago, and went to Schuylkill county, where he commenced to work industriously as a miner. He was noted for his frugality, and managed to save a considerable sum of money. He gradually rose from his obscure position, and in a few years he was widely known as a man of property and great influence. His wife, who is also English, is some ten years older than he was, and they never bad any children. A few years ago he became acquainted with a Mr. i John McCauley, residing n Lucerne county, whom he assisted in business. Mr. McCauley had a young, intelligent, and handsome daughter. in whom Car ter became interested, and he had her placed in a seminary at Wilmington. He need to accompany her to and from Wilmington, stopping frequently in Philadelphia, his wife not being informed of his movements. At the school, Miss McCauley was understood to be his niece. It is presumed that a guilty intercourse between them was going on all this time. About a year ago, and while Miss McCauley was still at Wilmington, she became acquainted with Mr. Smith, through a sister of the latter. who was a teacher at the school. Mr. Smith was fascinated by her and proposed marriage, which she accepted. The marriage took place at Wilmington. Those best acquainted with Carter believe that, instead of wishing her to marry Smith. he was opposed to it: that he was himself sincerely attached. to her ; and that be would have married her if it had been possible. Soon after the marriage . Smith became aware of the criminal intimacy existing between Carter and his wife previous to their marriage, and he refused to live with her. A separation took place, and Mrs. Smith was provided for by Carter. She gave birth to a child some eight or nine months since, and is living with it in a town near this city, where she has been well taken care of by Carter. Mr Carter bore the reputation of being loose in his moral principles in his younger days, and his conduct towards Miss McCauley, more recently, gave rise to considerable scandal. He was in the habit of having her to meet him on Saturday at a hotel in this city, and after remaining there over Sunday, she would return on Monday to school. They also travelled together to Niagara and other places. Smith alleges that this intimacy was kept up after their marriage, and, as we stated yester day. he also informed Lieutenant Dickbart, while on the road to prison, that in the conversation at the hotel Mr. Carterhad told him that he intended to visit his (Smith's) sister at the school at Wil mington. SMith was at one time engaged as a clerk in the store of his victim at Tamaqua. He was, doubt less, under the impressien that Miss McCauley was an adopted daughter of Mr. Carter. The acquaint ance was formed through the agency of Miss Smith, at the school. Miss Smith bears a most ex cellent reputation, and she had not the slightest suspicion of the real character of Miss McCauley. The latter is now with her relatives in Chester county. Her father resides in Luzerne county. Smith, the prisoner, has consulted several attor neys in this city, with a view to procuring a divorce from his wife, and proceedings were about being commenced when the tragical occurrence took place at the St. Lawrence Hotel. The body of Mr. Carter was on Wednesday night handed over to Mr. Atwood, the undertaker, by whom it was sent to Tamaqua yesterday afternoon. Smith has always borne an excellent character, although he was at times very eccentric in his con duct, and it is, perhaps, placing as charitable a construction upon the case as the circumstances will warrant to say that he manifested that eccen tricity in a very remarkable manner in the sad tragedy we have been called upon to record. We examined the list of agents for De Bow's Review, vesterday, and find that the name of Thomas Washington Smith is set down as travel ling agent for that periodical in Virginia. Vacation of Markel Staads.—We give -below an ordinance offered by Mr. Roberts, member of Select Connell from the Tenth ward, at a recent meeting, providing for the vacation of certain mar ket stands, and to prevent the sale of farm and garden products In the streets of Philadelphia by persons not the owners thereof. This ordinance has excited considerable discussion among these directly interested in its provisions : "Section I. The Select and Common Connell* of the city of Philadelphia do ordain. That it shall not be lawful to occupy any part of the foot ways or cartway in Market street, between Eighth and Fifteenth streets, as stands for the sale of the products of farms and gardens, or provisions of any kind. 0 Section 2. That it shall not be lawful for any person or persons to occupy the foot or ehrtways of any street or streets in the city of Philadelphia as a stand for selling, or exposing to sale, the pro ducts of farms or gardens, unless such products shall have been raised or produced on his or their own grounds, or that of persons duly authorizing him or them to seller dispose of the same. "Section 3. That for every violation of this ordi nance, a penalty of five dollars Shall be incurred, to be sued for and collected as other fines and penalties; one-half of which penaltyshall behead. to the informer, and the ether half into the city treasury: Provided that this ordinance shall not go late utir.t until the first day of January next." Police Items.—On Wednesday night, Bash Grosewell and another man met at the house of a lady in the Nineteenth ward, for whom both men entertained tender feelings. Each of the lovers claimed the exclusive right to remain at the house, and a row was the consequence. Bush seised a hatchet and inflicted several ugly wounds upon the head of his rival with the weapon. Had the latter been a little sharper, the German wculd have been put permanently cut of the way of this world's troubles. Bush was arrested and commit ted to prison to answer. Some time during Wednesday night the build ing No. 131 South Fifth street, above Walnut, oc cupied by different parties, was entered by means of the cellar•door. The door leading up stairs was forced open, and the offices of the following named gentlemen were entered and completely ransacked in the search for valuables : 31emrs. 11. G. Jones, J. A. Clay, Charles Thompson Jones, Wm. R. Ris ter, and J. D Sargent. In the room of ,Nfr Clay the rascals did considerable mischief maliciously. It is net known that anything was stolen except the loose keys about the building. They were all carried off. Resumed Operalions—Last evening, when oecupied in the Council Chamber. we heard th• familiar sound of the State House bell. Now that the works of the clock have been thoroughly cleaned. there will be a general rejoicing among those who depend upon it for the proper regulation of their time-pieces. Relief Meeting.—A relief meeting of the citizens of the Fifth ward was held lut erecting at the county court-house. No bussWV trans acted, and the meeting adjourned u eti. Yonday evening next. Pre-emption Claims Upon Lands Reserved for Railroad Purposes. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has made the subjoined decision, which will be found of general interest: "1. Pre-eruption claims open any lands with drawn from market for railroad purposes, where the settlements were made in good faith with the Government before the pa.sage of the law making the grant. and prior to the • definite location' or surveying and staking off of the route of the road, are subject to consummation within the period fixed by law for proving up and entering offered and nnoffered lands at one ordinary minimum of $1.25 per acre, and payment may be made is specie or with military bsunty-land warrants. " 2. After the surrey and staking, eff of any route, the pre-emption right cessws on the railroad sec tions; but from and after that date the Unite.] States reserve sections within the six-mile limits of the route are pre-eruptible at a minimum of $2.50 per acre till the date of ' final settlement' of the alternate motions to which the railroad is en titled " 3.
