Washington Bitk, May 29, 18,19,
En. A mus: Yon have probably noticed
that Delason Smith lias published a letter
in the Statesman over his own signature,
denying the truth of the statements made
by your correspondent " Looker On" of
this place. It so happens that I and scores
of other citizens of this vicinity arc living
witnesses to the truth of the statement
made by your correspondent, Smith did
say that " he and G rover wrote every edi
torial that ever appeared in the Statesman
in favor of Stute government, and that
Rush always opposed a Stute government."
He did say that "Bush was eternally
slanging somebody or other that nono es
capedthat lie (Smith) packed him on his
back for sixty days (one man here thinks
he said six weeks) last year, and barked
for him, for Bush was a dumb dog, and
couldn't bark for himself." He did say
that " Hush was a perfect drawback on the
party," and that nine-tenths of nil the po
litical enemies he (Smith) hud made in Or
egon, ho made by upholding that mean
Bush." Smith moreover did say that " Lo
gan was devoid of principle, and mean and
treacherous." Ho also said that if the
election went into the House, a million of
dollars could be commanded by the Repre
sentative from Oregon, and implied that
Logan could I taught over. Ho also
said thut Nesmith hud told him to draw on
him while In Washington City for a thou
aaud dollars on a certain contingency. The
idea we all gathered was that Ncsmith had
tried to bribe him to oppose Lane. These
and many other statements he made of a
similar character, which men of all parties
will testify to. Those who may want fur
ther evidence arc referred to Morgan Kees,
Luther Elkius, James Klkina, Cpt. Shields,
Copt. Settle, Robert Miller, Harvey
Smith, Jeremiah Ralston Sr., II. C. Hill,
all Democrats, besides many other Demo
crat and Republicans, who were present
and heard tho statements. The fact is,
Smith's letter of denial is so notoriously
fclsc that his warmest friends are growiug
cold toward hiin and if he secures a seat
in the Senate by Lis falsehoods, he ha oer
Uiuly lost the confidence of many of hi
former friends in LIun.

The trial of Daniel E. Sickles closed at
Washington April 20, the twentieth day of
the trial. The case waa submitted to the
Ju7 without argument by counsel on either
side, and, after retiring about an hour, they
returned with verdict of not guilty.
According to the reports In the New York
papers, the burst of feeling that ensued on
the rendition ol the verdict was beyond de
scription. For several minutes the Court
was scene ol uproar that was unparal
leled. Hundreds yelled an though gone
mad, others wept, and a great number
leajicd Into the dock and embraced the
prisoner wildly. With great effort the
judge and his officers obtained a moment
trj lull, wheu one of his counsel moved the
discharge of the prisoner. It was ordered,
and Mr. Sickles was carried upon the shoul
dcrs of the crowd out of the court room
For a moment he stopped and shook hands
with the jury, but he was too much over
come to utter a word. Many of the jury
men wept profusely. Once outside the
Court room, the shouting-was renewed, and
there was a tremendous rush of the crowd
to seize Mr. Sickles and embrace him. The
police were overthrown, and such wild
demonstrations of affection and sympathy
were probably never witnessed before.
With a great effort he was extricated and
pluced in a carriage, when a movement was
made by the crowd to take the horses out
of the carriage and draw it themselves
but this was nreveutcd. no was borne
away to the residence of Major McBIair,
where he wus followed by hundreds of peo
ple of all classes. Onco there, it was im
possible to resist the impetuosity of the
populur feeling, and the house was thrown
open. A steady current of people of all
classes, ages, and conditions flowed through
it for several hours, who shook hands with
Mr. Sickles, and congratulated him with a
heartiness that moved him to tears.
The verdict of acquittal spread like wild
fire through the city, and for a moment all
business was suspended. The news reached
Willard's Hotel at the hour of dining,
when the guests stood up and gave repeat
ed hurrahs. It is useless to describe the
extraordinary manifestations of public sen
timent, which took every conceivable shupc,
evincing the joy of the community at this
most righteous verdict.

En. A mil's: I think you arc mistaken in
the statement made in your lost issue
that Stout refused to answer, when asked
" if the people of a Territory could pass
laws interdicting slavery." I was present
and thought I heard Stout use about the
following language:
"The people, or Legislature, of a Terri
tory can puss laws prohibiting slavery, but
I express the opinion, as a lawyer, that all
such laws would be unconstitutional, and
would be declared so whenever the questiou
is carried to the Supreme Court,"
The fnct is, Stout occupies the same posi
tion as Jo Lane and Delazon Smith. Ho
is not a Douglas noninterventionist.

The Aksiinistration Endorsed by a
Democratic Meeting. Two men, says the
Boston Traveler, recently contrived to saw
their way out of the Little Rock (Ark.)
jail, but before they left held a meeting, and
adopted resolutions denouncing Know
Nothingism, endorsing the foreign and do
mestic policy of the "present Administra
tion," and expressing their " unabated con
fidence in the wisdom, patriotism, and in
tegrity of our present Chief Magistrate."
The resolutions were carried unauiniously,
and a copy left, with a request that they be
puiuishea in the Little Rock papers. The
meeting then adjourned sine die, and went
to sawing.

The Washington Stur says: " By an act
of Congress, passed just at tho close of the
late session, it was provided that coal for
the navy should hereafter be obtained just
as other supplies are namely, by adver

course, necessitates the abolition of the coal
agencies, and accordingly, the Secretary of
the Navy has informed the agents that their

Tho Jackson Mississippisn, a Drc-cating
journal, which is anxious the South should
eo out of the Union, recently put the query
to the Memphis (Tenn.) Enquirer, whether
it was not in favor of Southern secession
from the Union, if a Republican should be
elected in 1800. The Enquirer responds
" that it subscrilws to no such doctrines
as resisting the inauguration of a President
constitutionally elected, and that it will re
sist it to tbe utmost, and it adds that until
the Southern people are struck with judicial
blindness, it can never take a deep bold up

J. F. St. James, recently elected Sfayor

the subject of Congressional intervention iu
fuvor of slavery in the Territories, there is

REri'BLiCAS Prospects thk Next

reviewing the political wpect of affairs in
Pennsylvania, reaches the following con
clusions in regard to the next Prcsidcncv:
Starting from this point, the chances of
the Kepublican party loom np into bold
relief. The Pennsylvania October State
election or IS00 decided the last Presiden
tial election in favor of Mr. Buchanan.
In thus saving the State to the Democracy,
he saved the party from absolute destruc
tion. Rutin tho Pennsylvania October
election ol l8o8 the Democracy were rout
ed, borse, foot, and dragoons;" and now,
in ine spring or isoy, we Una the party

that "exposures will bo made at the next
session of Congress of a character to dt
mnnd tho imHacliineiit of high officers of
tho Government. It would seem that la
many departments there is not only a delib
erate disregard of the Icttur of the law, but,
more shameful fact still, there have beet
authorized violations of the sanctity of pri.
rate corrcsiiondcnce. To relieve our iuiti.
tiitions from the infamy that the present
Administration has put upou them, and 0
save us from that dire calamity, in which
tho finger of scorn would point at us front
every quarter of the civilized world, it li 1

otherwise, to so make the facts appear that
they will call down at once crushing denun

Hero is one: A gentleman, in one of tlte
great cities of tho West, holds himself re
sponsible, with another, on oath, to prore
that not only were documents ordered not
to be distributed when sent by a certaia
Senator, but that letters were also violated.
An investigating committee will be called
upon this matter, ns well as upon the ma).
practices of the Post Office Department, st
an early day of the session. So iusecurs
has tho transmission of private correspon
dence become, Hint 0110 niiht well think
tin re was here, as in tho pulmy days of the
Austrian dcsxtism, a censor of tl.e mails
one who, with diabolicul ingenuity, got in
side of letters and allowed all to pass that
wcro unexceptionable, to its requirement!,
and withheld all that were calculated to de
feat or embarrass tho 'powers that are."'
Cay- Hon. Jereiniuh Clemen, formerly
a distinguished Democrat, now iditor of th
Memphis Enquirer, said in his sjrccIi in the
American Convention nt Nashwlle, a few
days ago, that it required cxtiaordinary
credulity to believe that the Administration
intended to use the thirty million dollars It
asked for of the late Congress, in the pur
chase of Cuba. "In my honest opinion,"
said Mr. Clemens, " the intention wm to
use it ns a corruption fund to secure the
nomination and election of John Slidell at
President of these United States, Th:r
is nothing in the past history of cither
James Buchanan or John Slid"ll to pltici
them above suspicion. Give them thirty
millions of dollars to be used in buyiit;
Spanish officials, and, unless some such tu'r
adc occurs us thut of the leopard changing
his spots, a part of the sum will be employ
ed in buying the Charleston Convention,
and the remainder in ptirclins'ng the vote
necessary to insure the election of its
nominee," '

Senator Toombs, in his late speech on the
revenue question, spoke of the wastefulness
of the Government in these terms: " Your
appropriations for the navy yards hate
gone to the building of heroscs for officeB
and the making of flowcr-pots, and all that
sort of thing, nt a cost of $2,000,000 and
it will be no less as long as you will pay it,
but will go up to $1,000,000 if you dool
stop it. There are $2,000, 000 that yon
have no need for nt all. You have 8,000
sailors to man your navy. You have not
increased them of late years, and you nave
now 8,000 men in your navy yards to help
them civilians. You have carried their
number up from 3,000 to 8,000. ' You
have eight navy yards. England has 550
ships, and has two navy yards. (You have
eight conveniently located all about the
country, and it is a cause of reproach to
good Democrats for tho enemy to say w
keep people here to cheat them in electim',
and at God is my Judije, I urn araid thin
is something in it." : .

Coquetry. In most women HneciaIlT
if they are handsome the love of coquetry
is as strong as the love of life. It showl
itself as soon as the beanty of the maidei
begins to bud. It pnta forth its blosson"
as she advances into womanhood, and fade!
only with her fading charms. Vanity
vanity is the root of the plant. The desire
of pleasing all of offending none is the
origin of coquetry. Then, too, the display
of power by which the strong man if ebon
of his strength, leads many a female, Defr
