WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP

GONG TO PREss.-The change in the de-
parture of the early afternoon train for the
North, that takes place to-day, compels as to
put the Stars first edition to press 35 minutes
earlier than heretofore We are therefore un-
able to bring the portion of the report Of tho
SickIes trial inserted in that edition down 10 as
edition, however, will, of course, contain 80
much more Of that report; to the close of the
days proceedings, We presume.
BOsToN Posr OFFICE.-Touehing the matter
of the Boston post Office, to which we referred
the other day, we have now to state that the
postmaster had the sanction of the Department
In the arrangement he has made to keep the
office in Summer street, and but for the late act
OF Congress prohibiting its removal from State
street, the matter would never, probably, have
attracted any attention outside of the city of
Boston. The charge that Mr.. Capen, the post
master, is, or was, to put large sum of money
in his pocket by the removal, at the expense of
the Government, is all bosh. The Government
engaged the new Office for but one year, and
the rent is to be the same as for the old office
except that if the postmaster shall let an addi-
room in the old Office, and save in the expense
Of gas sufficient to meet the difference, he is
allowed to pay $4,000 instead of $500. 1t
seems that he undertook to erect the office him
self, because nobody else would venture to do
it on such terms; and, so long as the Govern
ment was satisfied with the bargain-the citi-
zens being equally we'll, if not better accommo-
dated-we are at loss to see where there is
any serious ground of complaint.
Mr.. Capen's interest in the matter was fully
explained to the Department, and as it was no
unusual thing for postmasters to own their Of
| fees, and as the Department could regulate the
| rent from year TO year, as it might deem right
and proper, his proposition to become the pro-
prietor was assented to. This circumstance
however, has no doubt been used greatly to his
prejudice and we are assured on the most I'M
doubted authority, that many Senators, in
| GLIDING at least three of the Senate Post Office
Committee, voted for the late act prohibiting the
removal, under the belief that they were car
! rying out the wishes of the Department in so
doing; and but for this belief, we are satisfied
the measure never could have become law.

Admission of Oregon.

The bill for the admission of Oregon.
has passedthe House Of Representatives
IN the same form it passed the Senate.
Here is an instance of Democratic con
slstency Oregon has less popula-
ton than Kansas, yet the admission of
Kansas was opposed by the democracy
on the ground that its population was
not equal to the ratio required to entitle
1t to Representative in Congress-
Now the democracy falsify their posi-
ton by voting for the admission of Or
egon, and still refuse to admit Kansas.
1t Is true, the application for the admis
sion of Kansas, is not now before Con
gress; yet during the discussion on the
admission of Oregon, in the House of
Representatives, an attempt was made
TO repeal the prohibitory clause in re.
spect to Kansas, enacted at the last ses.
sion OF Congress, which utterly failed Of
success--it finding no favor with.the de.
mocracy' The dominant party were un-
willing to place Kansas ON an equal foot.

they found them, which we can testify

of this Flying Artillery some time since
inflicted what they termed a compli-

or three door knobs, and what little

secluding ourselves in remote part OF
the house, for fear they are down upon
us again.
Now | can affirm, that of this party
there was not one we would, outside OF
this troupe, dare call uncivil; but linked
together in this way, they are only pests
to society, and the best wish l have OF
them is, that if they know their places.
and what belongs to good manners and
the general happiness of society, they
would keep the peace, and not go about
disturbing the sacred quietude and Sc
clusion of firesides by their unlimited
presence. Indeed, we feel willing tc
mitigate the punishment of the orig
inator two-thirds at least of the time
as that would give them ample time tc
batter down his house, not even leaving
SO much as a grease spot of himself.

New Slavery Project.

Slavery is not only constantly seek
ing new territory whereon to plant
itself, but also new subjects for enslaye-
ment. President Buchanan's organ,
the Washington Union, has recently
come 0 the conclusion that great inter
ests On be promoted, by reducing to
servitude other races besides the Afri-
can. The Union expresses the opin-
ion that California can greatly advance
its wealth and importance as a State,
by ensIaving the great numbers of Chi
neso now within its limits. 1t argues
the economy Of Chinese over African
slavery, saying, for one-fourth Of the
annual interest on an African slave, the
Californian may have loborer who
will answer all the purposes of the ne
gro" 1t is no new idea, however, that
the slave power would always remain
satisfied with reducing negroes alone to
seryitude. Other races of men, ire
spective of color, must in due time be
brought under the yoke, when the pow
er becomes sufficiently strong to subju-
gate. Slavery in the Roman period
was not limited to color or race; mod
ern slavery will be equally indiscrimin-
ate, when it gets the strength to exc
cute its purposes. The National Era
justly comments on this proposal of the
Union to enslave Cinnamon as follows:
" Is it not monstrous, that a party
which claims to have been founded by
Jefferson, not content with enslaving
the poor savage Africans, should now
propose to enslave the Oldest civilized
people Of the world? But the Black
Democracy have for some years main
tanned that Slavery, irrespective of col
or, is right, and that the laboring classes,
whether white or black, should be
slaves. Should this last enterprise sue
coed, it will be more than a halfway
step to the introduction of white sla-
very. The Chinese have no African
blood in them, and their enslagement
would at once destroy the popularity
Of slavery in this country, of being
confined to the African race. Slaves
would cease to be distinguishable by
the color of the skin and by the hair ;
and with these characteristics abolished,
there will be no difficulty in enslaving
the wretehed, halffed, sallow denizens
Of the sand. hills.
