rRon WASHINGTON.
A Spanish Cavalier Making Love to
the Daughter of an American Bank
er The Father Challenged, and the


Correspondence Of the ". z. Erpress)
49, WASHINGTON May 4th, 1858.
An unpleasant affair has recently occurred
here, which causes no little excitement in
diplomatic and fashionable circles. An
attacIse of the Spanish Embassy has long been
an admirer of the only daughter of a retired
Banker of Washington,-or, at least of the
'beastr year de sd cdssette," The father, for
reasons easily coniectured by all prudent pa
rents. forbade the Spanish Cavalier his house.
The Cavalier retired to his lodgings, and
wrote the Banker a challenge, but could find
no one TO deliver it.
On Tuesday night last, the Banker was
dining with Mr.. Slidell, who occupied the
next house to his own on Lafayette square.
While partaking of Mr.. Slidelfs hospitality,
his servant came in, and informed him that
two persons were hanging about his house
in suspicious manner. The Banker, whom
we Will call Mr.. c., requested his friend
Senator Bright, who was of the party, to
accompany him, and proceeded, with that
gentleman to his own residence. As he
entered the hall he met his daughter in the
hall, and proceeding to the picture gallery,
which was lighted only by the hall lamp
which shone through the doorway, he found
man snugly ensconced under the pianoforte.
Selling him by the collar. he dragged him
from his hiding place. and discovered him TO
NC nO ICES ptIsOlidSt ludu slHc CptitiIcA W
tdche! He discovered that the aforesaid Span
lard was armed by six-barrelled revolver
which he took from him, and then kicked him
incontlnently into the street. As he opened
the door for this purpose, he discovered an
other person of the same tribe, lurking about
the entrance.
AT the present writing the diplomatic corps
are represented as sympathiZing with the at
tGche. If this be true, it only proves their
esprit de corps to be greater than their sense
of decorum. What other fate does any man
deserve who skulks into your house under
cover of the night, with arms in his hands.
and when about to be discovered secretes him
self like burglar or an incendiary?
Our citizens generally, who are cognizant
of this affair, commend the decisive action of
Mr. c., as will every American father who
wishes to protect his daughter from the
Vaccinations of designing foreigners, rocking
with the vices of the corrupt Courts of En-
rope.
i new family hotel is projected by Mr..
Corcoran and other wealthy citizens. to be
erected on the corner of Pennsylvania
Avenue and Lafayette Square. The land will
cost $4,000, and the house and furniture
about 100000 more. Mr.. Stetson, of the
Aston House, it is said will take a lease of
this house when completed. The location is
superb, being nearly opposite the Presidents
house and in the heart of the fashionable
quarter of the city. SARATOGA.

Hindman and A. B. Greenwood directly before the democratic voters of said townships, and appointed delegates pro. pery instructed as to the choice of their respec- tvetownshipS so ascertdined-the delegates SO appointed and instructed met at Gainesville on the l9 9h day of April 1858, in general conven- ton, where the following proceedings were had:
 The meeting was organized by calling L. B. McNel to the chair and appointing P. K. Lester secretary The object of the meeting being briefly stated by the chair, Dr. J. L.

Our POsitOin.

Pherhaps there never was set of mortals harder 10 please than the editors of certain neu- tra, know nothing, independent, anti demo- cratic newspapers in Arkansas. Heretofore, when in one or two instances, we mentioned ihe name of some candidate for office and expressed wish for his success, they accused us ot dictation, of prescribing for whom the people should vote and went into fits of heroics, ask ing the people how long they intended to submit to this dictation, and whether tte organ," tte fanaily organ' and certain other names meant to be excruciatingly funny, which they applied to us, should control the votes and voters of re- mote counties.
 Our readers are aware that lately we have avoided saying anything concerning any cardi- date now before the people. Our columns have been open to communications from any friend of any asp.rant, ard we have excluded none, but at the same time have studiou5ly kept from ex- pressing any preference for any person.
 Il woul3 bs an afectatior of molesty in us to say that we do no, believe that our journal has any influence, or that it could not be made 10 advance the political interests of such asprants as it m. .-h- support, to the prejudice of others, as it would be unreasonable to suppose that we have Lot our individual preferences, but the choice of standard bearers in the approaching con-=s- is peculiarly the work of the people and they should b. left free II their selection
 l. many Of the counties the people have held conventions, have selected their candidates for county offices and delegates to the Batesville and Camden conventions, uniufueoced by any wish or exp-essoin of ours That they have selected and will select to represent IL .m in the legislature and in Congress good democrats, we are satisfied, and this is enough for us and should be sufficient for every true democrat
 Our silence as to the merits of the different aspiralts seems to displease the neutral know nothing editors not a whit less than the expres- sion of our opinion in favor of distinguished gentleman now deceased, did once before Perhaps, after the expiration of the nine days of their political existences, their eyes will be suf fcieutly opened for them to see that the "True Democrat contends for principles, not for men, and that we are and always have been ready to sacrifice our private interests to the good of the democratic party and the welfare of the State
 To the democracy we have few words to say: Hold full and fair conventions, gentle men nominate good men and then vote for them.
 There may not be an organized opposition, but our opponents are not asleep for if they can per suade some disappointed aud disafected mem Der of the party to run as an independent can dila.e, they will concentrate on him, as they know fiii well that defeat democratic nom'- noe < a severe blow to the democratic party.
 We repeat then, vote for your nominees, and whatever ability or influence th;s paper may possess w.ll be used in secoudins your efforts

They have not bronoht n n tnelr wlves and children yet; but say that they are on their way in.

This parry We understand is disposed to leave Florida. ohouid we be successful in getting the parties to emigrate that have mentioned, we will leave lorda, with four or five hundred of the hostile bands-besides the 40 captured by the volun- teers.
 There is small band of Tala- has-sees. nun befing not more than l5 or 20 men, women and children, with like number of old Jones' partv. will be all the Indians left in Florida-if we succeed as we now anticipate. We expect to reach the Rock by the 20th of May"
