No EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. WASH
fNGToN, March 2l.-An official telegraphic de-
spatch has been sent to New York this morn
ing, to go out by the California mail steamer
announcing that there will be no proclamation
issued for an extra session of Congress.
\ There is much speculation as to show the
service of the Post Office Department will be
maintained. In quarters usually the best inform
ed on such Subjects tits said the law authorizing
the issuing of contracts will continue to. be
carried out, embracing the issue of Treasury
warrants as usual but, as there is no money to
pay Them they will be useless in the hands Of
the contractors, save as the basis for loans. 1t
is not known that any other evidences or certif

A dangerous counterfeit has just been detect
ed at the Treasury department, in Washington,
in the shape of SIS piece, the exterior of which
is pure gold plated upon an alloy, Of which gold
seems to be the base. The coin contains about
three dollars worth of pure gold, and is Of such
really superior execution as to make it pass
readily for genuine. 1t was detected by the

CRIMINAL CouRT.-Hon. Henry Stump, Judge
Milton Whitney, Esq, Attorney for the State, pro
scouting. The following occupied the Court yes
terday: ~. -H
Mr.. Whitney called the attention of the Court to
the case of Samuel kepstein, charged with at
tempting to pass a forged check of 5000 upon the
Bank of Commerce, and desired that the Court
would not take any bail until the Grand Jury had
acted upon it, The Court said it would be control
ed in the matter by the action of the Grand Jury.
Mr.. Whitney then suggested to the Court that in
all cases when bail was offered, that the same be
done in open Court, and that the State officers be
notified of the fact that they could be heard up
on the question. He had learned that in case
where young man had been arrested for at
tempting to pass forged check on McKim Co.,
and put in jail the party had been released on $500
bail, in the Clerks Office, by order the Court
and the States officers had no knowledge of the
matter e-

WAsHINGroN, June 22.-The Administration have
not yet determined the form of the circular to be
sent to Ministers abroad concerning the rights
of neutrals. A draft had been prepared and is now
before the President. The Department of State
maintains that free ships make free goods, which
the Paris Conference substantially admitted, con-
cerning cOntraband goods, and it is insisted that
arms and munitions of war only properly incu-
ded 1t is held that relaxation be made by bel
lgerents for the benefit of one Power to the excu-
sion of others, and therefore entitled to any
advantage conceded to England.
Regarding blockades, it is contended that the
proper definition is the regular investment of a
fortified place for its reduction and not simple
paper proclamation. These are the general views,
but may be enlarged modified. 1t will not be
issued in the shape of Instructions but for informa-
tion. .r. .. ......-... .. ......-
The statement that treaty is expected from Mr.
McLane by the Tennessee, is secuted in well-in-
formed quarters. No such hope is entertained.
Juarez asks money and men, neither of which can
be granted. f-gt..- f d
Mr.. Dallas last dispatches state that the defeat
of Derby was fully anticipated, but the friends of
Palmerston and Russell could not agree as to a
proper distribution of power, and therefore it was
believed they would not be able to form new
Ministry. ; --

SrArE TrcKEr.-For the first time during our whole
course OF life we have this week hosted Tag OPP
position 20 that OF the Democratic party, with which
have acted for twenty years We do this from sense
OF that honest conviction OF which should govern
the action of every man. When il is remembered
that the party TO which have heretofore belonged il
now in power and holds its thousands in absolute awe
and subsection to its every demand aud that orcani-
Eation is claimed apart from that party can que
ton the purity OF the motives which prompts this i'm
Porant step nor any justly attribute sinister
selfish motive in such course part since there
neither loayes fishes in waiting for by thus acting
ioris too well known to all in this community that there
few who would hazard nythnG against the

long and which have been both Unonsts Disunonsis
within the short space of two years. But far a
change on that subject concerns shall here only
remark that that question, well the re-openng OF
the Slave Trade, not being considered qualification for
Democrat shall in hosting flag and adopting
may think unfit for Southern people safely plant
their feet upon.
The ticket Is a good one and endorse it:
First. Because It neither endorses the ''mane nor
tail OF the Administration and secondly, because while
It composed OF able and true men, its presents
of talent that opens up of hope that the
vet TO get rid of that party which has been
fcng principle for the spoils of Office, until the ru
~ meritorOus and genuine hearted of the country
all not attempt scramble for office with them. Yes
il is conceded fact that gentlemen, strict sense of
worth and merit will no longer in contact with
those who rely upon party utilization and the name
Democrat, than their abilities. And little honor is
attached TO the high Offices of the country that
it is considered sacrifice the part of good aud fair
failing gentlemen 10 become candidates. A OF

however sure of success; yet if such pro-
