DAILY EVENING STAK. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 25,1853. The Evening Star having double the circulation of any other daily paper published in Washington, is consequently by far the best advertising medium in the District. Business men should bear this fact in mind. Persons in Alexandria wishing to subscribe to the Star will be regularly served by leaving their names with Geo.

1, of the last special session, made by Mr. Borland, from the Senate select committee appointed under the resolution of the 6th August, 1852, to investigate frauds of all kinds on the Government of the United States The document is too voluminous for us to undertake to read it at this time; yet we are disposed to embrace this occasion to say that we are satisfied that the labors of this committee are likely to prove beneficial to the public service. While it can hardly be questioned that portions of the testimony given before them was dictated by personal disappointment, malice, and, indeed, by sentiments very foreign to a patriotic regard for the cause of honesty and the interest of the State, nevertheless, the committee in question have dofie much to expose the fact that the robbery of the Treasury of the United States by all sorts of cunning devices, has come to be a fixed business with many men. And further, that a lax and very reprehensible condition of public opinion has encouraged such enterprises, until the man who successfully swindles the Gorcfbmcni of United States, looks around for applause for his adroitness, instead of fearing such punishment as would most likely be his recompense if dealing after the same fashion with his neighbors. The newspapers are in the habit of crediting the community of Washington City with at least countenancing all such acts.

This is a grave mistake. As is the case at all seats of Government; we have here, at times, a considerable number of persons, most of them residing at a distance, who live by their ingenuity in extracting money from the National Treasury for purposes really foreign to the legitimate ends of the government, and in payment of demands which will not bear the test of the severe scrutiny to which all claims upon the money extorted from the laboring masses of the United States by rightfully be subjected. The people of Washington, however, as a general thing have very little sympathy with them, and as freely denounce their disreputable practices, as do any others. Thes? people, having for the most part been previously in public life, enjoy position in society thus given to them in ignorance of their unworthiness, but from which it is quite as difficult to drive them here, under such circumstances, as elsewhere. We repeat, the business men of Washington are as firmly set against their dishonest schemes as any others in the country, and are as anxious as any others to see the measures for rooting them out of the purlieus of Congress already commenced in both Houses, successfully prosecuted.

This good work is so far but initiated. If the present Government of the United States prove to have the nerve to stand up to their many indirect pledges to lend their influence without fear or favor to effrct this object, they will reap the gratitude of all who are properly-impressed with the recollection that our Government depends for its continued success on the honesty and justice with which it is administered. Its power is in the sympathy and confidence of the people. Whenever it shall become notoriously corrupt, it will cease to enjoy that confidence and sympathy; resolving itself, imperceptibly it may be, but not less surely, into a Government akin to that of Mexico' in its failure to embrace security for the rights of who arc rightfully entitled to look to it for real protection, and for aid in the application of the thousand and one elements of individual prosperity which our country affords to persons detrained to prvspsr, QQly demand that their Government shall fulfil the strict letter of its constitutional duty, in the way of aiding their efforts. While we will hitch our journal to the car of no party, ot to the coat-tail of ambitious man.

we arc fi-ce to promise any Administration, party, or statesman all the assistance in our power, by way of aiding in the good work which this Senatorial committee has commenced. Spirit of the Morning Preai. The Republic criticises the very last letter of Colonel Benton on the subject of the proper routes for the Pacific Railroad. The editor calls Bentcfh's route the free soilers' route," predicting a dissolution of the Union, and all that sort of thing as the sure result of building this road where Benton insists it can best be built. After all, the south is to be no great looser by the late death of that emphatic journal, the Southern Press; as the Republic has evidently lighted its candle from Mr.

Fisher's expiring taper. However, we trust our talented neighbor will not think it hard in us for failing to spy that bloody from Benton's proposed route or in any other proposed Pacific Railroad route. Yet we commend greatly the Republic's zeal in guarding off, even the distant approach of anything which may indirectly go to weaken the rights of the south. Our neighbor is evidently bcut on retrieving its great anti-compromise mistake committed during the administration of Taylor, when, if we remember correctly, no one fought Mr. Clay's views about the settlement of the slavery question more valiantly or vehemently.

But it strikes us that the Republic is slightly overdoing the seeing snakes," as it were, where there are no snakes. Hundreds reared in "Washington city will recollect a dignified rotund turnspit or "phice," which for years kept guard on the steps of a house near the capitol. This animal became famous among the from his display of nervous irritability whenever the word Peas" was pronounced in his hearing. The little fellows were in the habit of chunking" Peas at him through the palings, singing out at the same time, "Peas, Porter! At length, Porter" only required to hear the word "Peas" pronounced to make the welkin ring. Now, without intending the slightest disrespect to our estimable neighbor, we must be permitted to say that in letting its new-born zeal for southern rights carry it to the length of spying the destruction of the Union from free soil ascendancy to grow out of the adoption of any particular lUute fui the piopOSCti Pa- cific railroad, that journal brings forcibly to our mind the faithful Porter" of times past.

Utter but the word niggers" in the Republic's presence, and we have a display of earnest determination to save the Union, which bangs Porter when Peas" were about. The Intelligencer contains a very interesting letter from its London correspondent upon the prospect of War in Europe and other foreign topics. The same paper also by mistake credits to the Republic items of Washington r.ews?the appointment of Mr. Gregg to be Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, and of Duncan McRae to be charge ad interim at Paris, which appeared in the columns of the Star some time before they found their way into those of any other Washington paper. The Union quotes the Albany Atlas to prove that in New York, the Hunkers who are howling over the manner in which the spoils have been divided there, have actually received three-fourths the plunder, though not outnumbering the other section of the party." The same paper ridicules the views of the Tribune upon changes proper to be made in our system of official intercourse with foreign nations.

The Sun discusses woman's rights, and praises Pennsylvania for recently chartering the "Polytecuic College" which, if really conducted on its programme, can hardly fail to prove one of thf? most useful educational establishments in the Union. In the Clipper, Mr. Samuel Barnes makes his editorial valedictory bow, and introduces his successor, Mr. Thomas C. Connelly, late of this city.

We congratulate the Clipper's readers on their acccs- sion in Mr. Connelly. He is a good writer, an industrious man, and a gentle- man in all respects worthy of their respect i and confidence. connected with the Washington press, Mr. C.

leaves us I for Baltimore with the sincere regrets of! thousands. Asa Parker Attorney at Law, Concord, Nkw of York" writes us that the story with the above title recently copied by us from some exchange paper, was originally written by him for the New York Spirit of the Times, He should therefore have the credit of first it to writing, though the story is one of Colonel Sam Starnbaugh's, who tells it with a raciness which cannot! be irausferred to the columns of any Washington News. Piter's Republic's Washington correspondent again fails to credit us with items of intelligence from this point appearing in the Star of Saturday last, and incorporated into his letter of this morning. We have to labor with great industry to gather such things, and are therefore entitled to the usual newspaper courtcsy of credit1' for them rrhen first appearing in our columns. Of course our friend's omission was an accident.

As we never omit such credit to any journal, we trust that hereafter our neighbors of the Republic wili not meet with another such mishap. Col. it. The Interior Department and THE Indian Bureau Interior Department and the Indian Bureau are understood to dissent in toto from the recommendations of Col. Benton to the Missouri squatters, wherein tho Colonel assures them that they may, with safety, go over the Nebraska line and make settlements without first obtaining the heretofore necessary permit from the Indian Burcan.

The Colonel, in a late published letter, takes tho ground that where ever the Indian title has been extinguished. United States territory is at once opened for settlement. Heretofore the Indian Bureau, backed by Uncle Sato's bayonets, have repelled all unlicensed settlers on any territory not fairly opened by formal action of Congress, and in this ease they are, doubtless, prepared to carry out their ancient regulation. Colonel Benton's reading of the law to the contrary notwithstanding. As much of Nebraska territory is exceedingly valuable, the Colonel's encouragement will undoubtedly induce many to overstep the line, when wo will have exciting news from that quarter or we are much mistaken.

Up to this time, the Bureau has had more trouble in expelling the unlicensed from Nebraska than from any other region, which, so far, has been under its efficient guardianship. Yot it thus appears that its Nebraska troubles have hardly commenced. The Navy Department has roccived official notice from Chief Engineer Martin, that the Princeton's boilers will be so repaired as to enable her to answer for the voyage she has been ordered to make. presume that she went to sea yesterday or this morning. The Chancery Commission in the Gardiner Hellen, John M.

Ennis, and John W. McKiin, attorneys at law ol this city, wh form tho commission ap pointed by the Circuit Court for this county, to take testimony to be used before the Court aforesaid in the Gardiner chancery case, wherein the Government aro struggling to get back some $200,000 of the money paid out on tho Gardiner claim, have so far examined but Judge Aguillar and Col. Ogden Nilcs. They are now examining Capt. Barry.

Their task is evidently to be protracted and tedious, like all things in the shape of law proceedings in the Gardiner cases. An Important TreasCRv Treasury Department are sending to the various Collectors and other officers of the revenue the following circular, vis: Treasury Department, July 20, 1853.

The developments in regard to the Turkish question give a more threatening aspect to affairs. Count Nesselrode has issued a new circular, more impudent than the last, claiming that Russia occupies the Princijialities because the French and English Meets are in Turkish waters, and hints out clearly that Russia will refuse all conciliation untill the fleets are withdrawn.

A willingness to evacuate the Principalities is, however, expressed when the demands of'Russtoarc complied with. It is said that the Porte will publish a reply to the Emperor of Russia, setting forth all the injustice with which Turkey has been treated by Russia. This note has partially opened the eyes of the European public, who see the necessity of bringing the matter to a close, Russia's objcct being merely to gain time to render her position impregnable. Although the possibility of war is scarcely admitted, publicopinion begins to demand something decisive.
