Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1858-06-11


Rsmes as early as the very day after Mr..
Haskin delivered the last hundred pages oft to
the printer here. As Mr. Haskin and his clerk
are the only other parties in this city who are
known to have handled it, the public will just
y look to them for an explanation calculating
the breach ofeonfdence involved in its surrep
titious appearance in print, in New York
On the whole, Mr.. Haskin, of New York.
throughout the whole of this affair, has only
managed to exhibit, most strikingly, his entire
unfitness for his present position as member
of the House of Representatives of the United
States.
p. S.-The following is an extract from. a
Washington letter published in the New York
Herald of yesterday morning It's statements
are generally believed by all in Washington
with whom we have conversed on the subject.
We can only say to the House, that if failing
to relieve themselves by expulsion Of the
odium of Mr.. Haskins connection with the
body, their late professions of disposition to
maintain the integrity of the Congress of the
United States will be regarded by the country
at large as the merest balderdash for Buncombe,
conceivable:
q" Developments In the matter Of the Willett,s
Polnt investigation howa curious state of things
The chairman Of the committee who was the
most active member in endeavoring to criminate
the Secretary of War and Others now stands at
the bar instead of within il. At the last hour of
meeting yesterday 1t was shown that the chair
man Instructed the clerk to write an anonymous
letter to the chairman of the Senate committee,
MIR. Clay, making charges against Mr. Schell as
man nnht for the appointment of collector of
New York. This ANONYMOUS letter was mailed
tn lis
Kin wrote letter, az chairman Of the COM
Inittee, following up the charges, making ex-
tracts from the evidence, and striking out state
ments which were very material Ii was also
shown that both the ANONYMOUS letter and
that signed by Mr.. Hsskin as Chairman of
the Committee were In the same handwriting
and the clerk swore that both were dictated by
Mr. Haskin. IL was further shown that in an
important affidavit the date was altered by Mr
laskin from 1S5G to 1857 the object of the altera-
ton being to prove that the property was offered
In 1917 Tor given price, whereas the offer was
made in 1856. 1t was also proven that after the
manuscript had been examined by the commit
tee, MI Haskin went to the printing Office and
altered the proof, and instructed the foreman moi
TO allow copy to be given out to any one not
even to members Of the committee This is I'm
questionable authority for saying that the state
ment made in the Tribune of to-day, that Mr.
Haskin had been exonerated by the committee.
Is not true
PEACE IN UTAH.-The President Of the
United States yesterday communicated to Con-
gresS the following message:
10 me Senate and House of Representatives.:
transmit the copy of despatch from Cover
nor Cumming to the Secretary Of State, dated at
Great Salt City, on the second of Nav, and re-
Geived at the Department of State on yesterday.
from this there Is reason to believe that our diff
fculties with the Territory Of Utah have termi
mated, and the reign of the constitution and the
laws has been restored. | congratulate YOU on
this suspicious event.
m pnn ,,vir f;,rr tl;-
ton, and IN expressing the opinion that there
will be no occasion to make any appropriations
Tor the purpose of calling into service the two
regiments of volunteers authorized by the act of
Congress approved on the 9TH April last .sfor the
purpose OF quelling disturbances in the Terri
tory OF Utah, for the protection of supply and
enlSrant trains, and the suppression Of Indian
bostilities on the frontier. :,
am the more gratifed at this satisfactory in
telligence from Utah because il will afford some
rellef to the treasury at a time demanding from
us inc strlctest economy, and when the question
which now arises upon every appropriation is,
whether ii be OF character so important and
urgent as to brook no delay, aud to Justify and
require IA loan, and most probably a tax upon the
ment. F~'
In regard to the regiment of volunteers author
lied by the same act Of Congress to be called into
service for the defence of the frontier of T.Y,s
against Indian hostilities I desire to leave This
question to Congress, observing at the same time
sna.i III my OPINION, TINS state can be defended
lol pitscul Oy the regular trOOpS. which ma
not yet been withdrawn from its limits
,,, JAMES BUCHANAN.
A letter from Governor Cumming, dated
May I'd, accompanied the message lie writes
that Colonel Kane accompanied him from the
camp. At the boundary of Salt Lake county
he was met by the Mayor of Salt Lake City
and the municipal officers, who escorted him to
lodgings in the city. The people showed every
possible mark Of respect; and as soon as he
was ready for business Brigham Young called
on him, and surrendered into his hanos the
seals of Office In an address to the people, in
the Temple, Governor Cumming assured them
that he came to uphold the Constitution and to
maintain their rights. The assembly seemed
to be well satisfied with this declaration. Ru.
mors are bruited about that the Mormops will
set fire to the city as soon as it is occupied by
the United States troops. Large numbers of
Mormons, including Brigham Young and Kim
ball, were leaving the city, it was said for So
nora.
DEAD.-This community has recently been
greatly shocked by hearing of the death of Mai.
Patrick Calhoun, son Of the late Hon. John
Z. Calhoun, which took place at the residence
of his mother, in Pcndleton, S. C on the 9Th
or 9TH inst. His disease was consumption
which thus suddenly carried him off His age
was about -, and there was no more seryiceabIe
or promising officer in the Army of the United
States.
In this city he was universally known, re.
spected and loved--for hundreds of our now
most enterprising and distinguished fellow
citizens were his friends and associates from
very early youth.
