The JAPANESE EMBASSY Washington Nay
2S.-iu consequence Of the accident to the
Niagara, q new programe has to be made
respecting the movements hence Of the Japa-
nese. They are anxious to return to their
country at the earliest practicable period
To-day they are receiving the visits of the
Army and Navy officers and their families
and others. Their stay in the cities north
of Washington will necessarily be limited to
few days. and they will not be able to re-
ceive visiters to the extent they have in this
city. Persons have come hther distance
of over FIVE hundred miles, purposely to see
them.
The Japanese Ambassadors were busily
engaged this morning in estimating the COM
parative value of the conage OF the Two
countries, with the view to O reciprocal cir
culation. >.
The Commissioners ore pressed with aPPli,
cations, by citizens, to exhibit the various
appliances of mechanic arts and sclentihc
Illustrations. The principal attractions 10
.he Japanese are, however, heavy mechanical
operations, such as they witnessed at the
Navy Yard, the forging Of heavy masses oi
iron, working of machinery, &c. Ihey VIII
probably visit the Naval School at Annapolis
on Friday, or shortly afterwards, but no time
has been definitely fixed, as yet, for their hnal
departure from Washington.

meet at the Court House, in this place, on
the 9th inst. The object, we presume, is to
ascertain by what authority Gov. Bigler,
carries the Presidential vote of this county
in bis breeches pocket, aud when and how
our delegate to Charleston, Mr.. Hottenstine,
discovered that Mr.. Guthrie, was q good
tariff man. And also, whether the Report
of MIR. Guthrie, when Secretary ofthe Treasu.
ry puder Mr.. Pierce, in which he opposed
a tariff protecting the interests of Peunsylya-
MIA, was, or was not, forgery, or whether it
was the result Of miraculous conversion,
and If so, whether eleventh hour converts are
more reliable than those of longer standing,
such, for instance, as Mr.. Buchanan, who
while he recommends tariff, permits his
Secretary MIR. Cobb, to tell Congress that
free trade is the right doctrine, and that the
views OF his master are all mooushine and
ought not to be regarded.

A terrible tragedy was enacted in the
California Assembly, few days before its
adjournment. member of the House
named John q. Bell was shot and stabbed to
death, almost in his seat, by one DIR. Stone.
Stone was lobby member, attempting to
procure the passage Of bill for the division
OF the county represented by Bell, and to
which the latter was opposed. Mr.. Bell was
in the act of consultation with another mem.
Der beyond the bar Of .he Assembly, while it
was in session, when Stone came up, denounc-
ed Bell as liar, aud Immediately began
shooting aud stabbing him. The unfortunate
man was carried away, and died two days
after. Stone was released on bail. AS he
is rich man, the crime will go unpunshed
The Assembly took no notice of the murder
Bell was from Ohio, and was una.med-
Stone is from Kentucky. Several circum
stances show the act to have been premedi
