The Negro QaestlOn in washington.

We received communication yesterday,
from ATTEND 10 Grass Valley, in relation
to selected paragraph that appeared 10
our Tuesdays issue, entitled, 1.-THE Negro
Question 10 Washington" The following
is the substance of The paragraph:
A great deal Of astonishment and indignation
Is EXPRESSED in Washington, ID. c., on the dis
covery that section was smuggled into the act
supplementary to the act for the release Of ceT-
tain persons held to service or labor in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, which places the negro on
an equality with the white man in the courts of
Justice Of that city. The section alluded to pro-
yides that in all judicial proceedings in the Dis
trict of Columbia there shall be no exclusion
of any witness on account of color.
This paragraph was clipped from some
exchange, aud we should probably never
have thought Of it again had not our atten
tion been called specially to the subject.
Our Grass Valley correspondent, alluding
to the paragraph, says:
No such provision could have been inserted
in the bill without pnblic attention having been
drawn to it. There was an amendment stated
to have been offered to that effect, by some
member whose name do not recollect, as pub
lished in the Congressional proceedings, but
which fell still-born, without debate, like hum
dred others Of a similar character. Mr.. Latham
would certainly have known it, and would have
given us the benefit Of the fact, had such pro-
vision been inserted in the law; but in his
speech here last week, the worst he could say
OH the subject was, that it had been proposed
by some Republican in the House, that the tes-
timony of the slave should be taken as to his
own valuation, under the emancipation bill, in
opposition to the masters valuation. This, he
stated, was only prOposed-not adopted.
Had such provision been "sIDuggled'
into the emancipation act, Latham would
undoubtedly have alluded to it in his
speech.

MURDER AT SCoTr's BAR.-A dispatch
from Yreka gives The particulars OF a mos;
foul murder that was perpeIrated at SCOTS
Bar. in Siskiyou county, last Saturday
night:
A dispute occurred at gambling table in the
saloon of Lew. Anderson, between the dealer
Of game and Swede known as Pete. Ander-
son interfered, and short time after, while go
ing out Of the house, the Swede threw a stool
which struck Anderson in the face. Anderson
swore revenge. and on Sunday night, expecting
the Swede would come into town he watched
for him with the aid of an accomplice known
as "Big Jack" About 10 o'clock Anderson
received the signal agreed upon, taking pick
handle he attacked man supposed to be Pete,
in the public streets, knocking him down and
beating him senseless, and with the assistance
of "Big Jack" dragged the man into the saloon
when they procured light and discovered they
had murdered an innocent man named Wiley,
a German. The murderers then closed the sa-
loon and attempted to conceal the body, but the
alarm was given by persrn who had witnessed
the affair, and they were promptly arrested.
Both were brought to Yreka and confined in
Jail.

The GTEAT WGECKING COSTRACT.-' IL was
mentioned in the Call short time ago that
J. F. Wells. Esq. Of Boston. had concluded
large cent net with the Government to
raise The vessels sunk at the GospOrt Navy
Yard, aud ia Hampton Roads. The con
tract embraces The raising Of the following
vessels:
Pennsylvania, 120 gun ship; Delaware, "a
guns; Columbus, so guns; Kariian, % Sans;
Columbia, so guns; United States, 80 gHns;
Congress; 90 guns; Plymouth, ~ guns; Ger
mantOwn, % guns; Cumberland, "a guns;
Dolphin, 4 guns; Merrimac, IL guns. The
new rebel steameTs-Water Boat and Powder
Boat.
The undertaking involves an outlay by the
contractor Of some SS60, 900 before commencing
the work; he will employ something like 200
men, among whom will be 20 divers, who will
descend to the sunken ships jR the Wells &
Gowan submarine armoT. Such of the vessels
as arc not raised will be blasted with powder,
end all the material that is of value recovered.
The contractor is the same party who Tajsed
the steamer "Erie" in Lake Erie in 1864, and
has been engaged in other submarine opera
tions. We understand he is to commence op-
eratioDs at once, and is to receive IS per cent.
salvage from the Government on the value OF
all property recovered.

Tue fusion papers of California, as if by
precoDeertedarrangcment, have commenced
denouncing Mcclellan and other Federal
generals, and are endeavoring to weaken
the confidence of the people 10 the officers
who are leading the Union armies. These
same papers profess to be hOrrifed If any
one calls in question the infallhilty of the
President aud bis Cabinet, and denOunCe
as no better than treason every word spoken
against the cOrrupliOns and rascalilies, and
wapteful expenditures, that have crept into
the civil administration of the Government.
II opposition to the political policy of the
President is reasonable, is II not alsO trea.
sonable to attempt to destroy the confidence
Ofthe public in the officers that command
the Federal troops?

r. Fell IN BATTLE Robert Samuel, son OF
VIM. NJ Downey. of DOwnievilIe, w+s kill
I'd in the battle Of Gaines Mill, before
II chmond. on the 9Th of June. A com.
rade writes that "he fought like hero un.
til shot through the head" The Downie.
willie News says of him:
Young Downey was among the first who
joined the army from New York, and his first
term having expired, he re.enlisted and partic-
ipated in several of the hercest battles. He was
in the memorable battle of Bull Run; was there
again, when evacuated by the rebels, was en-.
gagged in the first days fight before Richmond,
and fell at last at Gaines Min. We
do not know that we should add anything re-
gretful. We do not know where an American
youth could die more gloriouslyly than in front
of the fight, in advance of all the swarming
hosts of the Union, close to the citadel Of trea-
son, where Greek met Greek on the bloody
crested waves of war. We do not know what
more an American citizen could desire his son
to do, or what greater glory is within reach
Of an American woman than to bear such a
son.

CUsTOM House DRAY@AN.-The squabbles
which have go long disgraced the manage
ment of the Custom House ct San Francisco
have partially eliminated. AS q result, the
Collector is to be deprived Of the drayage
patronage; that is. the appOi0tment is TO be
taken from the Collector, and is hencefOrth
to be let out by cOntreCt to the lowest bid
der. The position Of drayman has been the
most lucrative of any in the Custom House.
Under Collector Washington the perquistes
were estimatedIat $2O,OOO; but thu profits
were largely Increased in consequence of
The Sample" rules introduced by Collector

CAMERON AT CoURT.-Minister Cameron
has had an interview with the Gear of Russia.
On that occasion the ruler Of that great people
expressed his admiration for the success we
had made in the development of the vast extent
Of territory now within the jurisdiction Of the
Federal authority. That authority, in the opin-
ion Of the Emperor, should be maintained at all
hazards. If the Great Republic Of the West
was broken down and ceased to WELD an nAu.
ence, the course of empire and of civilization
would be changed, and a continent destined by
God for the happy home of millions of free, in.
telligent people, would be given to inhdeliiy and
barbarism, ruin and desolation.

TIE SENATORIAL CORRUPTION CAsE.-Out
renders are doubtless familiar with the lead
ing facts in connection with the bribery Oi
two delegates in the San Francisco fusion
Convention. It was the most bareiaced
case of political corruption ever brought 10
light in this State; aud after the facts were
exposed, both tbs briber aud bribed were
allowed to retain their seats in the COnven
ton, aud Legislative ticket was iually
cOncocted. giving to the principal aspirants
for the U. S. Senate a certain number Of
friends. After bribery had done its work,
and the Convention had ratified The con.
tract Of the would be Senators, the dele.
gates thought to clear themselves Of all
laint of corruption by adopting the follow
ing:
Whereas, The interest Of the State of Cali
fOrnia, and Of the City and County of San
Francisco, is paramount to the interest Of in
dividual aspirants to the Office of State Senator,
and
Whereas, Corrupt attempts have been made
to influence members of this Convention to
vote in the interest of particular aspirants to
the offie of u. S. Senator, therefore
Resolved, That this Convention declares its
unqualified condemnation Of all persons who
would offer or accept money with view to in
Ruence any vote for or against any candidate
for nomination by this Convention.
Carried, "a ayes to no.
1t is worthy of remark that Strobridge,
the briber, as well as the two delegates
who were brbed to vote in the interest oil
Park, voted for the above.

WAR INClDENT.-A correspondent relates
the following incident of fight between a
Pixies Peak regiment aud the rebels, near
Fort Craig, New Mexico. The affair was a
regular bushwhacking arrangement from
beginning to end, but here is the story:
A Pike was standing isolated loading his
gun, when he was fred at by Texan from be-
hind a rock. He went on loading his gun, with
out paying much attention to the shooting. The
Texan suddenly jumped up and fired six shots
at him from his revolver, missing him every
time, and Pike now had his "growler" loaded,
which the Texan observing, he sings out, II
"That be i'd" shouted Pike, 'you've had six
shots at me, and am bound to drop you with
one, for making such id fzzle Of it." Say
ing which he raised his rife, and taking delib-
crate aim, sent the rebel to his account.

AMENDING THE OoNsrrurroN.-The nre.

AMENDING THE CONsFITUTIoN.-The press
and people are divided on the policy ofoer.
tain of the Constitutional amendments pro
posed; yet the majority, and perhaps a large
one, seem to De in their favor. The SolanO
Herald says:
We have, on former occasions, shown that
the requirements Of the Constitution, as to the
amendments proposed by the Legislature, have
not been complied with; and that, consequently
no amount of ratification can give them valid
ity; that some Of the changes are such as never
were contemplated, either by the Legislature in
which they were proposed, or by the people;
that their ratification would remove still further
from the people the accountability of their pub
lie servants, and would seem to be an indorse.
ment of reprehensible tampering with our or
ganie law, and an overriding of the safeguards
thrown around that sacred instrument.

Tho ARMY In VIrgInIa

By late Eastern dispatches we have some
additional particulars of the operations and
position of the Federal forces in Eastern
virginia, II seems that a portion OF Nc
Clellan's army had arrived at Alexandria.
from Fortress Monroe, and were temporari-
ally encamped, at Camp California, two
miles from the former place. Another
corps was expected TO arrive on the 10Th
The corps of Gen. Porter, however, arrived
at Fredericksburg last week. and now com
prises a portion of Pope's army. aud the
opinion prevails that the troops at Alex
audria will proceed Immediately to the
RaDpabannOck. A force Of rebel cavalry
had made an attack on Warrenton on the
23d, and were repulsed. Kearney's diVi-
sion. which was among the first that arrived
from McClellan's army, took part in this
engagement New regiments are daily
pouring into Alexandria, and are immedi'
ately sent forward to join Pope. Skirmish-
ing was going on continually along the
Rappahannock, and on the 2lst Sigel, by u
stratagem captured thEee of the enemy's
regiments. 1t appears that during the
night, the enemy hadeOnstrucied'a bridge
over the river, and in the morning opened
fire on Sigel's batteries, and the one near
the bridge WIS apparently Withdrawn.
Three rebel regiments then crossed, and no
sooner were they over, thaR the battery
opened, on the bridge and quickly demol
ished it. At the same time, deadly fire Of
musketry opened on the enemy in front,
and their retreat being cut off, nearly two
thousand are said to have been captured.
About four hundred we're killed aud wOun
ded. The enemy then, attempted to out
flank Sigel by crossing at French ford,
but reinforcements were ordered up and
they were repulsed. The expulsion of
newspaper reporters, and the order of the
Government EOrbidding the transmission Of
intelligence from the army in Virginia by
telegraph, has rendered the collection of
reliable news extremely difficult; but we
have reports from different sources that the
enemy had made several attempts to cross
the river, and every time were repulsed.
Pope's forces are distributed along the
north bank of the river. and it was thought
thoy would be able to maintain themselves
until the arrival of reiniOrcemehts enabled
them to assume the offensive.

CorTON IN ILLLXOs.-A considerable
quantity OF land in Southern Illinois has
been planted with cotton this season, and
the crop is said to be looking remarkably
well. The farmers planted all the seed
they could get, and though the amount
which will be raised will be of bu! little
Importance in supplying the great want,
yet SO many have turned their attention
to it that the Importance of the move will
be very great.

EUROPEAN NEwS.-We have advces from
Liverpool to Aug ut IAN. The following
items, lelegraphed to the Associated Press,
are of interest,":
The London Daily News had an editorial on
the rapid expansion of the emancipation
scheme in the prosecution THE American war.
1t says that it is not to be expected that the
Northern people would see at the outset that
the extinction of slavery was their true aim and
only practicable issue 70 put an end to the war.
The extinction of slavery was now undoubtedly
becoming the master element Of the struggle.
Every moment makes new abOlitiOnists, and
when there are enough of them to satisfy Pres
ident Lincoln, he win speak the word and make
the sign which will save the Republic.
The Marquis Pepoli had arrived at Paris
from Turin. 1t was believed that his mission
was to submit to the Emperor a plan for the
occupation of Rome by mixed garrison Of
French and Italian troops.
1t was believed at Palermo that Garibaldi
still intends to embark at Messina. 1t was
supposed that the 18th OfAugust was fixed up
on as the day for demonstration hostile to
France. Throughout Italy, says the cOrrespOn.
dent of the London Times, visiting Venice and
writing on the 10th, there is st i'll an uncon-
ceivable swarming from all parts towards the
south, and the Government authorities find the
greatest difficulty in preventing landings on the
coast oi Sicily.

For EUROPE.-Geo. N. Sanders, formerly
a noted New York politician, passed
through Buffalo recently, on bis way TO
Europe, through Canada. He is supposed
to be bearer OF dispatches to the rebel Com
missOners in Europe. Tie fact that be had
TO smuggle himself through the Northern
States, IN order to get to sea, shows the eff.
fectveness Of the blockade.
