Wajjuingtqn, Dec. 2, 1855.
The Postmaster General's Report will recom
mend a M< ney Order system, but with some a wk
ward and objectionable features. lie has found
his pet system of registration a complete abortion,
and having been a close reader of Tiie Tuiiiune
during the last twelve months, he feels obliged to
adopt some of its aoggeationa for postal improve?
ments. He will thus relieve his ad minis trationVtf
that important Department from a portion of tho
bad reputation bis management haa given it. No
one denies Mr. Campbell's industry and persever?
ance, but as foT original and valuable suggestions
and improve meuts be has not inaugurated the first
one. Though this comes with an ill grace and at the
ele ventb hour, let him have the credit of for once
making a roe*oinuiendation of some value, though
under the heaviest pressure from the country and
the Press, and alter his own peculiar schemes ha<e
pioved complete failures. Tbe old stor* will be
repeated of the Post-Office not sustaining itself,
but there will not be sufficient coursne to recom?
mend the wiping out of the franking privilege

A STARTLING MOTION?BIOTOUS MEETING
From (Hr Special Corre*poodeaL
Leavinwortii CnY, K. T., Not 21,1855.
I expected to be able to leave this place before
this time, but the case of McCrea progresses
so slowly that I may be here some days yet. This
morning a somewhat startling motion was made in
Court. I bave alluded to a similar proposition
made a few days ago, to the effect that the Clerk
and two of the Attorneys, who had been actively
engaged in the lynching of Phillips last Mayf
should be expelled the Court. Then the Court
appeared to I e offended by the motion, and finally
ruled it out, as there were no affidavita filed at the
same tine to prove the allegatiois. The motion
was offered by an elderly and dignified lawyer, who, I
believe, has practiced in the United States Supreme
Court?'lhomas Shankland, esq. This morning Mr.
Sbankland rose and asked the Court if he should
understand that the motion would be sustained if
he produced the affidavits? The Court replied in
the affirmative, whereupon Mr. Shantlaad took
frtim his pocket ionic papers aud read the follow?
ing motion ai.d affidavits:

ing an esteemed merchant.
I will give my own testimony here. After
Shsitiklano left, tbe Court having nothing particu?
lar before it, a group of the "law atd order''
lawyers clustered round the stove, where I was
riling. The Clerk of the Court also came for?
ward, and in a low tone said to those around him,
the Cou't betol still in session : " The O -d d?d
e?n of a b?h I There's one man I've got to give
a d?d thrashing to before be leaves thia "
This was the only important proceeding before
the Court today, there being nu progress in wie ia
the Me Cr? a case.
In the evening a imcting was held. Dr, I'avis, i
a defeated Nebraska DexOOflTAt, who ran for Con?
gress in Indiana, was a little Pro-Slavery iah after
he came here, but is mw a Free State man, was
to address the meeting. Hfl made a very pretty
start toward a fair speech, when he was 'nrer
rupted About a dozen ot the active "la w and order"
men came w ith tbe evident intention of making a
row, and most of tbem were fully inspired in a
*pr*itu&] way. Such a Habel of noiso did they ?uake
that the Dr. had to retire. 1'ho Sherid' of this
county, Jarret Todd, elected by the Missouri legis?
lators, got up on the box wbore Davis had i>oen
trying to bold forth. Hfl was clothed in a sort of
vellow jean, had the appearance of a very illiterate
backwoods countryman, and was about half tipay.
Tbia latter l et waa very plainly indicated by the
peculiar modulation of his voice, and as he vocifer?
ated " I'm a law and o or sVt ua-an," tbe house
honored bis appeal with the utoct uproarious
laughter. He said it was the li: st time he had
"ever lx?n upon a box that way," and got off
it, after having declared that tin Dr. " sh mid
" s peak, r hould spsak," so the mich-abiiseJ Dr.
began again.
Th's time he was interrnpted by a string of
onaoSBOtM put by Judge Pahna, the County Judge
tVcted b\ the barons. His favorite interrogatory
was, " Aie you in favor of the laws of the Legis?
lature "' and this he asked agaiu and again, while
others engsged in conversation and discussion.
1'rom tbe fact that all the disturbance origoafed
with the I'ro-Slavery men, and was kept up sys?
tematically there is no doubt they came there to
break tip the meeting in a row. Several spoke or
rather attempted to speak, and final)? the immor?
tal Todd got '' on the box " again, and took a vote
on the question of Freedom or Slavery in Kauaaa
The vote on Freedom was lirst taken, and such a
shout of " Aye" went up that the poor sheriff was
almost overwhelmed; the vote on Slavery was
then taken, and although there evidently were not
nearly so many voices there was a goodly number,
and they yelled and shrieked loudly and loog. In
the midatof the hubbub the candles were extin
i i uished. and thereupon the meeting broke up.
That there were not violence and bloodshed is
i almost miraculoua, and so it well-nigh happened
ahortly afterward. Hughes, one of tbe "law and
order men, and ringleader of the mob that lynched
Phillips, sought Parrot in order to have a personal
rencounter with him, which only the interference
of friends prevented.

Thia mornii.g the political fevtr here again mani.
fested itself in a little excitement Hughe*, the
" law and order *' maul have already alluded to.
snapped a pistol at Mr. Shoemaker, Receiver of
Public Moneys at the Land Oflice, the only United
States official in the Territory, I am informed, who
is a Free State man. Luckily, Mr Shoemaker
happened to be unarmed at the time, or, as he has
the reputation of being a b.Md, determined man.
it is likely that Hughes would have been shot on
tbe spot. As it was, the bystanders at once inter?
fered and led off the parties.
The motion of Mr. Shankland has not yet been
acted uprn, and I am beginning to be apprehen?
sive for ire fate.
To-day has been apent in Court in discussing the
indictment, on a motion to quash it. I he pleas
are: that the Jury was not comprised of persona
of th>a county ; that the trmre iseued was for a
prfif Jury, and that some grabdjir-.rs had been
selected from thia; that an aujourued Grand Jury
waa irregular and dangerous; thai the Jury in
question waa realL adjourntd to Sep'ember, 1866
tbat there was a sufficient number of iurors pres?
ent when the Court was tirst called at this al
joiirned term, and that adJitional members were
added to it afterward. These were the chief ob
jtctioos, and they were sustained and met by ar?
gument. Tbe Court adjourned this evening, hold?
ing the matter in advisement
I stated in a letter recently that one of the
Grand Jurors had been dismissed and d scharged.
This it appears is a mistake. I got tho informa?
tion from a Grand Juror and from witnesses who
had given positive testimony agaiust him before the
Grand Jury. It was believed that the action in
qoestioa would of course be taken; but I no?
ticed this mtrning that the offender's name was
called with the others. Testimony of the most de?
cided character has been given bet?re the Grand
Jury sgainst the Clerk of tke Court, several attor?
neys aiid some members of both juries, but after
having watched the current of events very closely
for a tew days, I d?ubt very much whether a bill
will be found acainst any of them
We bare just had a rumor be that Mr Park
was mobbed ia Parkville tw > days ago, but I do
aot beliefe it. However, aa soon as I eaa I will
go down there
The weather has been very cold for a few days
back. te day there has been ioe and raia.

we can award the merit of either truth or originality.
Tie conception was crude and cfumsy, the plot dim
and dusky, and the diction and dialogic uarelieved
by a eoutary scintillation of either pertness. poetry,
wit or fancy. Anythiog more execrable we have
seldom seen oa the stage, aod nothing we believe
could kave indaced the managers to ac.ept sach a
thing, but the laudable de*ire to give ensoarage
neLt to a native production by a native aathir,
and with the soene laid ia the City of New-York.
The p'ay u said to be the proiuct.ou of a gentle?
man belonging to t .at so-called good society which
this piece purposes to picture. Of tbia we know and
caie naught , but ridiculous and mirth-waking ad are
the i retensiors of the people who fancy tbey are good
society here, they canrot possibly have descended to
?ie low (onditioa of kitchen vulgarity to whish thia
play would reduce them. Truth should be at least
the foundatuon of every comedy which oasht ta be
tbe mirror and reflector of the manners and fashion of
tie time. But the air and bearing in public assem?
blies ofthoe particular parvenua who claim to be
select rcc'.sty here, is quite tafficteat to convince any
one who has mixed in real'y refined sxkyty of the
utter wer hi-?nets of ench claims, and that the oaly
good and best society in this country is to be found ia
the Li erarj and industrial classes. Still such coarse
caricatnrts as those presented at Mr. Barton's Theater
last nigh'?without even a touch of bnlliancy to re

pander to the natural appetite of these who are* **

intl-avored to preeeut.
The drama is in four acts. Tae characters art)few,
bot tbey make up in intensity what they lack in aetn?
h. nj, A merchant who is reduced to bankruptcy by
a romblnaton of advene cir ams'ances, adroiiy
n?: . .i'd by a ft', n I who Is the most consumaata
stoundrel j < ^il!e, and wb ? is eventually disooverei
and ?aptnr.e<t by Uie moet persevering policeman oa

and petit laiceny; n mother who doos not do anything

Amy Startle, th< heroine, had been in her girlhood
wTraftally aocatai ?f puroining a pieoe of lace,
wbich ut fortunate n:K.\ although immediately huabed
up, came by some means to the knowledge ot Jarnes
Bht Man (Mr. C Fieber), a rejected suitor, who, after
Amy had mart Id Mr. I'.dward Oilttrood (Mr. A W.
I'tono), came to visit her and revenge his slightest
love by rovea'ing this secret to her husband, and then
ban i?atirg the woman who on e had humbled him,
Ai<led by circumstances he succeeds, while under a
fahe name, and under the guise of friendship, as
recm iiig the unhappy nterchan: almost to bankruptcy,
and also asaure? htm of tli? intiil.lity of his wife; aod
to convince biui that this story is true, he haa the hiss
hand overbear an ioterview between them, which he)
nans >?? with such a diabolic Ingenuity thai she
words of tbe wi^e seem to confirm the statement.
QUtWOOd immedia tdy casts off his wife, who returns
to !' r uio'her's house, where she Is followed by Sbel
vlde, who strive to itidoco her in teality to run away
with him. Ilisvi lauy is tiusily detected and he is
arrested by tlie ejertons of Mr. Pike, a p .) o oilioer
(Sir. Chapmen) who ba* followed hioa io various dis?
guises for three years. Though why be delayed his
oppn he nsion so lorg, it having been perfectly evident
all the while that he bad commit'ed crimes enough to
bang ha f a dozen ordinary men, is a mystery known
only to those verred in the secrets of the police. Baf
fice it to say, that eventually ev?rything is righted.
Ciliwoou's fortune is pr*eorved |sj him, he is satisfied
of his wife's truth:ultess, and Shelville is mat died off
to pri-on, having firs' made an ami?ble but ioeffectaal
at'empt to shoot his former sweetheart, Amy.
The esding character of the play is Amy, which is
perscnated by Mrs. Julia IK an Hayne. Thecharae
ter is one net calculated to display t > the fullest eit at
j her powers, but somo of the scenes were rendered so
effectively as to bring down applause in good earnest.
In some of the passages in tbe fiist act, where tke
dialogue is supposed to be bstween a lady aod her
hueband, her delivery of the language was too
declamatory for Ian ordinary parlor conversation;
but this stirTiees soon wore away, and as the mtersat
of the piece developed Ler acting became more natu?
ral t.nd tru'bful. Mr. Fiiher eustakoa the character
of the gett * manly sccuntbei in a very able and art?
istic manner; bis makeup was particularly excellent,
Mr. Whiting played an impassible old lawyer who
made his will and gave away all his property without
cause or prevocat on. La as res pec able a maaasr aa
so stupid a part deserved. Mr. Chapmas, as a vary
deep and mysterioos police officer, was so exceed?
ingly rraxsparen'.. that a rogue with sense enoagk te
s ep rosnd the corner when he bad picked a pocket,
would have seen through himst once. His rsooUeo
tion of the text was spasmodic and uncertain and aba
w ho e effect of bis acting 'very undecided and jerky.
Mrs. illake as the nurse, was perhaps a little extrava?
gant, but was very successful. Mr. Fenao made
a very respectable bankrupt, aod weot cotisoi
ntiously through his part It may not ba
out of place to suggest to the gentle?
men who p'ayed the attendant officers, that
policemen of even ordinary civilization would take off
their hats in a gentleman'* parlor. The play was
well received by the aadience, and will probably be,
w ith a little mots study, to insure the ease, and dissi?
pate the nervousness of tie performers a good aad
snccestfol actirg drama. In answer to a call for the
author, Mr. Fenno announced that that geet emaa
desired to withhold for the present his name from ike
public.
Ldward Fi zgerald, a carman in tbe employ of a
Mr. Marshall, of Fulton market, and Henry Knien, a
laborer at 9^ o'clock !n T evening entered McClatkye
porter house, coiner of Washington and beaoh streets,
ai.d had several drinks togs her. Beceining sotnevaat
oblivious from the effects thereof, a dispute arose be?
tween them which reau ted in a fi<ht Killen, as ra?
pe rted wu too much for his antagonist, and tbey
were separated by persors in the place Killen them
stepped out the door whi her he was followed by hat
adversary, who stabbed him in tho region of tha
heart and also in the abdomen with ajcne sharp is>
atrsaaestf, isdic'irg very dangerous and perhaps fatal
iijories. Fitxgtrald was seen to giro the thrusts aad
then run away. The alarm waa given, aad ofloera
Wille?? and Maynard, o' tbe Fifth Ward PeMes, wore
scon on the spot, but not ia time to arrest tbosasassha,
Tbey caused tbe wounds of the Injured aaaa ta ba
dratted, and afterward conveyed him to tha How
Yotk Hospital, where be remains in a critical condi?
tion. Sergeant Smith and Officer WUietts, late last
sight, were ia pursuit of PiUgerald, aad with souse
hopes of wresting him. Killen livs ia P?th street
with his mother.
