The Intriltfrncer rejoices over the aettle

and Mayor Swan relative to the aet of the for
mer in holding the militia ot Baltimore ready
to suppress violence and wcure to all eitixens
of all parties the exorcise of their rights to vote
there to-morrow It strikes ns as berng still
problematical whwiLer the lait step of the Gov
ernor is a wise one. If the arrangements made
by Mayor Swan have really been made in good
faith, and prove sufficient to accomplish their
nominal endi, the withdrawal of the Governor a
proclamation will have been a wiae act. If not.
then an unfortunate one.

inr a nice little bit of scandle ts up before
one of the New York courts in the matter of a

of Mrs. Caroline Woodman, whom her husband
sometime since had confined in a private lunatic
asyl un, as she alleges, out of revenge for her
misdoings with Mr. G. Fumins, of that city.
The most singular part of the story is that the
person applying for the krbca* <orpw< is Mr. G.
Furntss himself, who. in this step, to say the
least, shows a marvelous indifference to public
opinion. It is stated that the husband pays a re

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP
An Interesting Perron?Senator Gwki
brought with him from California, on his la?t
journey hither, the Japan?*e youth, He?o, who
has for some years past attracted TVo little of
the attention of persons ot education and en
larged sympathies in thai-quarter. The truth
is. there.(in California.) tko growing importance
of our coinuieat^l irttaraoyrse with Japan is
more generally Comprehended than on the At
lantic side, whence nearly all intercourse with
that quarter of the world must be through our
Pacific coast settlements and commercial estab
lishments. The fact that young Ifcco. being
remarkably well tducated for his nge in studio*
such as are taught youth in his own land, ra
pidly became very proflcicnt in reading, writing
an l conversing in tho English language, and
indeed thoroughly Americanized, induced the
general belief, among those knowing him in
Saa Francisco, that he may in time prore of
great value to this Government's future in con
nection with Japan. Hence the evident public
interest iu him there.
As we share in tho belief that through his
services the way may be opened for tho prompt
realization of much of the commercial promise
of Commodore Perry's treaty, we trust that tho
Oovernmeut here will employ hiui iu s? me way,
that he may keep np his knowledge of his na
tive land, its language. Ac It may be that in
a year, a month. or a week, a translator of the
Japanese will be indispensable to theKtate De
partment: or that the services of an American
in feeling and associations who can obtain ac
cess to persons and things in Japan, such as
might not bo within the reach of any foreigner,
will be of great importance to the future inter
ests oi* the American commercial world in that
quarter.
Lut we will detain the reader no longer from
the articles concerning this interesting youth,
which will be found below?the tirst l?eiug a
letter from a former Collector ot tho Port of
San Francisco, Beverly Saunders. Ksq., to Sen
ator tlwin, and the latter an editorial from a
San Francisco journal :

It wins that his father is a wealthy land pro
prietor, residing aluiut thirty English mile?, l,.?m
Osaka, a seaport in Japau. iu which city resided
his brother engaged in commerce. The elder
Hero sent hi*son to Osaka to learn commerce unit
navigation with hi* untie.
In the autumn of l^t, Joseph was sent iu one
of his uncle's junks on a voyage to Jedo with a
cargo of sski and other articles, the boy bein"

The junk ari ived safely at Jcdo, discharged, and
took in a caigo of beans, rice, wheat, aud salt

gale aud blown oat to sea.
After remaiuiug fifty days at the mercy of the

can barque Auckland. Capt. Jennings, who took
otT thei crew, consisting of seventeen persons. ami
brought them to San Francisco, arriving here in

all these persons on board the revenue cutter and
wrote lo the Government at Washington for in
structions as to their di-position. The Govern
ment. with the laudable desire to set an example
or humanity, aud cultivate good neighborhood
with Japau, sent the s!oop-of-war St Marys to
take these shipwrecked }?eisons to their'own
country They were acco.dingly embarked on
board this vessel in the Spring of 1852. and s liled

transferred to the C S steamer Susquehanna

Puk-evptiox Claims to Laxps for Rail
p.oad Pt kHOSKfl.?The Commissioner of the
General Laud Office, in a recent decision, has
laid down the law and views of his office on
several points of great interest and importance
to the public of tho South and West, as fol
lows :
1 Pre-emption claims upon any laDd with
drawn from market for railroad purposos where
the settlements were made in good faith with
the Government before the passage of the law
making the grant, and prior to the "definite
location" or surveying and staking off of the
route of the road, are subject to consuniation
within the period fixed by law for proving up
ui..l entering offered and ntiofferod lands, at
one ordinary minimum of $1 .25 per acre, and
payment may be made in specie, or with mili
tary bounty land warrants.
2. Aftor the surveying and staking off of any
route, tho pre-emption right ceases on the rail
road sections; but from and after that date the
( S. H served sections, within the six mile
limits of the route, are preemptible at a mini
mum of 32.50 per acre till the date of 'final
adjustment*' of tho alternate section* to which
the railroad is entitled.
? >. i rom the date of the_^?a/ allotment afore
said until the date of offering the U. S. rt
<rrr*' icrttont at public sale, pre-emption
nghts to lands in such sections cannot attach;
hut after the offering, the reserved sections again
become pre-einptible at a minimum of $2.00 per
acre.
4 W here the$2.50 minimum attaches, bounty
land warrants under the act of 3d March, 1855,
cannot be used in part payment, there being
an express inhibition of such use in the statute;
but warrants issued under prior acts of Con
gress may be so used?one warrant only to be
laid on a single pre-emption claim at the rate
of $ I 25 per acre, and the balance required to
make up the $2.50 to be paid in specie.
Tin: Advices bv Tblbobaph ?We are fre
quently taken to task by friends on account of
the tone?evident bias?of telegraphic des
patches now and then published in tho Star*
columns, and it is quite a task to beat into
them, individually, the comprehension of the
fact that we necessarily publish such items pre
cisely as they reach us. always a few moments
ere locking up the form to go to press. Or, n
othor words, that it is past editorial capacity
anywhere eveu to revise them, or the power of
the agent through whose hands we receive them
to check the tendency to political bias with
which they are furnished to him. We find in a
late number of the Pennti/lvavian an exposi
tion of this matter, which, brief as it is, sets
forth the difficulty capitally. So we accordingly
transfer it to the Star a? embracing an expla
nation that can hardly fail to prove more satis

been able to give them orally in brief conversa

The New York State Election takesplacc
to-day. The result is extremely problematical.
depending in a great measure on the sucecss of
?the attempted coalition between the American
and Republican parties, which, though sup
posed to be complete in New York city, will not
prove sufficiently powerful there to stem the
torrent of Democracy. TheGermansof thecity
are Democrats almost to a man. which has em
boldened the authors of the coalition to make
it cordial and entire. In the rnral districts,
we regret to say, thousands of them are Repnb
lican-party men; whioh. in preventing so thor
ough a union, in them, of the two parties allu

A Screw Loose.?The Republican journals

" Missouriana voUd," ''the tjuakors didn't
vote/' Ac., Ac.; all which Is but by way of at
tracting attention from the fact that they hsve
been very essentially used up in the elections
in connection with the results of which they re

Mormon Deserters and their Strff?
The Nebraska correspondent of the New York
Ttme.i, under date of October 22, writes :
44 News ban just reached here front our frontier
Mormon settlement upon the l.ot:pe Folk of the
Platte River, near the mouth of Heaver, and
known as the Heaver settlement of Mormons,
(about one hundred miles inland from here,) that
s >me renegade Mormons, or seceders from tbe
Moanou Church, tleeing from the Danites of Salt
Lake, had reached that settlement a few days
since, bringing the news that a large farce of ti.e
Moiiuon militia, under ttrlgham Yotin?j and He
be r C. Kimball, were prepariHi' to !ruv Salt Lake
City, ici'.h provisions ami ammunition for a >ix
wtri.*' ront/Hunn in th' rnount'iins to tin ti- -
tcartf.anil thus to stop, tf possible, the yiissa^r of
the United Statu' troopx. Although tbe j><?- itive
destination wa< a secret known only t<> tbe le? d *rs
of the Church, yet it was general Iv supposed that
a the |>ass in the mountains near Hear River cut
oil, or at Steeple Rovks, the slaud would be made
by the Malt Lake forces with an almost certainty
of wiping out" the entire fo-ee sent a^aiftst
them In Salt Lake City, and through the Terri
to v, f^r some months prior tothis movement, the
militia or volunteer force have undergone more
this ordinal) drill, and a number of regimen's
would compare favorably, in point of drill, w.th
tbe Indi pendent corps of tbe States. The Mor
mons feel confident of destroying the force sent
against tbein this Fall, and, with their next
Spring's allies from tbe States, expect to stand a
regular Sght against the whole Unlt?-d States
available force, and not only conquer, but estab
lish themselves as an independent Government.
44 Between Fort Kearney and the Valley these
three or four men traveled almost entirely at
night, and, under the guidance of one of tue
pa,tv?a thorough mountain man?ev tiled the
regular traveled luiite,seeing notroopsor Indians,
and making tbe travel in about nineteen days
They, and all the mountain men with whom 1
have con veined, state that in the event of a stand
b'ing taken in some of the mountain gorges this
side of Salt Lake, ten men can easily and success
fully cope with one hundred and tif;y United
States soldiers. And who know these mountain
ranges and gorge* with all their advantages and
disadvantages better than the Mormons ? This
report also brings the somewhat expected news
that many of the Indian tribes from southern
Oreyou and Utah were secretely preparing to join
the Mormon force."
The MoI'EMKxts of the Fultos.?The Mo
bile Register of Oct. 26th, says :
44The IT. S. propeller Fulton Lieut John 1
Aliuy, commanding, arrived here yesterday iu
nine days from Chesapeake Bay. She i-> attached,
we understand, to the Gull squadron.
4 ? The Kill ton leaves to-day for New Oilcans,
and her errand in this neighlm hood is under
stood to be a general look-out for all runner and
Walk-er-aways hereabouts."
CaowBta Law.?A St Louis paper says that
the very practical virtue* of crowbar law were
tested In That city on Saturday. Armed with an
attachment taken out by one* of the prominent
citizens of St. Louis, and equipped with crow
bars. cold-chisels and similar ln?ti >imeuts, the
sheritf effected an entrance iuto the bank vault of
K \V. Clarke A Bro.'s, who suspended pay
ment not long since. The result of this official
boring wan the discovery of &S00 and the books
of the d.m, which the sheriff' took possession of.
C7* The inmates of the workhouse in New Or
leans made a revolt on the >2lst instant, in conse
quence of Hip bad fare furnished them.
IO" "A small hang out for a large wash ' is
the exp.esnive phrase which the Yaukee editors
employ to denote those sort of failure* in which
