Removal of Marshal Stewart.
A dispatch from Washington on Thurs
day, says it is understood that Daniel 11.
Stewart, United States Marshal for the
District of Georgia, has boon removed, on
the charge of want of vigilance in arrest
ing the officers and crew of tho slaver
Wanderer, and that Mr. J. M. Spurlock
is spoken of as his successor. This ac
counts for the announcement mudo in tho
Home paper last week, that Judge J. M.
Spurlock had been appointed Marshal of
Georgia.

This gentleman, who has been twice
elected to represent tho Third Congres
sional District in Alabama, is out in a
letter from Washington, dated the J Ith
instant, in which lie declines a ro election.
He says “It lias been known, for some
time, to many friends in the District that
I would not boa caudidato forro-clection
to Congress. A public announcement of
this determination is proper now, that
ample opportunity may be afforded for
tho selection of another to represent you.”
Minister Forsyth.
The enemies of this gentleman seem
determined to find suino cause of accusa
tion against him. Since tho story about
the stolen silver bars found on his premi
ses iu Mexico was satisfactorily accounted
fur, a Vera Cruz correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat further charges Mr. For
syth with having accepted a bribo of
SII,OOO to procure tho escape of a crimi
nal, and siding with the despotic and
American hating party.
No body who knows Mr. Forsyth will
give a particle of credit to the statemont.

Supreme Court Adjourned.
The Savannah Republican says tho
Supreme Court, which has for several
days hceu in session in that city, ad
journed on Thursday, having completed
the docket. It says: “Several judgments
below wero affirmed by reason of a disa
greement. between tho two presiding
Judges—an evil which certainly calls for
legislative correction. The Reporter—
whose courtesies we would take occasion
to acknowledge—was called homo some
days ago, since which time vve have found
it impossible to obtain a note of the de
cisions.”

Interesting Document.
A dispatch from Washington to the Au
gusta press, on Thursday, says “the Presi
dent, to-day, communicated to Congress a
statement, called for at the last session,
of the unsettled accounts due to the peo
ple and government of the United State*
from all foreign powers. The document
is largo and intensely interesting.
“Among the claims is one against Eng
land, amounting tu six million live hun
dred thousand dollars; one against France
amounting to fifteen millions of francs.
Nearly all, however, are private claims,
some of which have been admittod and
others repudiated.
“There is scarcely a maritime power of
any importance against whom there is
not sotno claim.”

Dally Stale Press,
Our enterprising young friends, E. C.
and A. M. Roland, of tho Stato Press, at
Maoon, have issued proposals to com
mence tho publication of a daily paper
about the first of next month. Having
succeeded beyond our most sanguine ex
pectations (entertained when they started
the Weekly State Press about sixteen
months ago,) wo feel sure they will suc
ceed with the daily. There is no reason
why Maoon, situated iu the geographical
centre of Georgia, with rail roads run
ning iu every direction, with a largo and
increasing trade, and a population of over
ten thousand inhabitants, should not sus
tain, well, a daily paper. It is tho fully
town of that sizo iu the Union, wo feel
certain, that does not boast a daily. It
is true the attempt has been made and
failed; more, we think, for the want of
nervo to risk and skill to manage. This
we think the present undertakers piossess
in an eminent degree. Wo liavo known
them from boyhood, and no net of their
lives has yet indicated that they recog
nised the word “fail” in their vocabulary.
These are tho kind of men to face such
music.
Iu tho prospectus, they say “tho daily
will contain tho latest tclegrnphio intelli
gence, in advance of papers cast of this
point; and will bo neatly printed on a
largo sheet at tho same cost us tho dailies
of Savannah and Augusta. The news,
commercial, literary, political, and other
departments, shall each and all receive
full attention, llul without making fur
ther promises—preferring that our Daily j
shall show for itself—we bespeak for it
the good will and patronage of our friends
and the public generally.”

ably in advance.

Coil gross ion at.
On Tuesday, tho 18th inst., Mr. Cobh,
of Alabama, in the House, reported from
the Committee on Public Lands, a bill
construing the act of April 20tb, 1818, so
as to give registers and recorders of laud
offices a regular salary of $2,500 per an
num, irrespective of commissions. Mr.
C. stated that great abuses had long ex
isted iu regard to the compensation of
registers and receivers. Some, who were
prohibited by law from receiving more
than $2,500 per annum, ttad drawn as
much as SIO,OOO for a years’ services.—
The object of the bill was, lie said, to
stop tho system of “stealing” which has
been going on for many years. The bill
was passed.
On tho same day tho following proceed
ings were had on tho minority report of
the Committee on Territories to admit
Oregon:
On motiou of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia,
the minority of tho Committee on Territo
ries were authorized to print their report
on tho admission of Oregon.
Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, said that
it would he utterly impossible to obtain
action on the bill during the present ses
sion. Time would bo wasted iu discussing
it. The subject could be taken up at the
next session, and could bo deliberately
considered, lie therefore moved to strike
out the enacting clause.
Mr. J. Cochrane, of New’ York, said
that although the bill was fully as impor
tant ns any which could occupy tho
House, lie was willing to make tho pres
ent veto a test question, and see whether
the House would accept or reject so ne
cessary a measure.
The question was taken by tellers, and
resulted—B4 affirmative, 53 negative.
Tho Committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House.
Mr. Cochrane, of New York, moved
that the House uon-coucur in the report
of the Committee, and demanded the pre
vious question.
The demand was sustained.
The vote was taken by yeas and nays,
and resulted—yeas 108, nays 81.
So the bill was rejected.

The Cession of n Portion of West
Florida to Alnlmmn.
The Montgomery Confederation of Fri
day morning says:
A friend lias just shown us a private
letter from Judge Yelvertou, who had
been appointed by the Governer of Ala
bama a Commissioner on the part of this
Bt:ito to negotiate with the proper au
thorities of the State of Florida, relative
to a cession of a portiou of West Florida,
inch I>ING l’njtsAt'OLA, stating that tho
Legislature of tho latter State had passed
a joint resolution, which had been ap
proved by the Governor, leaving it to the
people of tho Stato to vote upon the
question of cession. The letter stutus
that “the resolutions passed the Senate
to leave it to West Florida alone, but the
llcuse amended them, leuving it to the
State. Hut is is all tho saute, for if tho
West votes for it, it is well understood
that the cession will take place.”
This intelligence is of the highest iiu
j portanoc to the people of our Btnte. Wo
have uo lime for comnieut.
Republican Support.
The New York Tribune has determined
not to commence its advocacy for a Re- |
i publican president until 1800, but when
the time arrives it will lend its energies,
< taleuts, ud influence to the triumph
I over what it sneeringly calls “sham De
mocracy.” It will labor for tho aceom- 1
1 plishmeut of this end, independent of
1 per-onal prejudice, local dissentions, or
j minor differences. So the nomineo is
I “openly and unequivocally anti-Slavery
j Extending, anti-Uuba-stealing, anti-Fili
buster,” it will receive its hearty support.
’ Mr. Greeley is certainly candid.

Washington Rumora anil Specula- 1
tlohe.
Washington, Jan. 17, 1859.
Tho reported uccount of tho action of
the Democratic Senators in their caucus
on Saturday afternoon, excites a good |
deal of attention in political circles. It
appears to have been called to consider
tho President’s recommendation in ref
erence to Cuba. Outlie general proposi
tion as to the importance and moment of
the acquisition of the island, there was
no division of opinion—all agreeing that ■
tho possession of Cuba was a matter of j
tho first magnitude nod consideration.
On the made of procedure in the case,
discussion took a wide and varied range.
Senator Mason is reported to have ex
pressed himself warmly in opposition to
the $30,000,000 bill of .Air. Slidell, but
signified at the same time his unwilling
ness to stand in the way of its favorable
roport from the Committee on Foreign
Affairs in tho event it met the general
approbation of the caucus.
Messrs. Hunter, Shields, and Clay are
understood to have shared the distrust of
Senator Mason respecting the wisdom and
policy of the bill. Mr. Douglas sustain- !
ed the measure. The account of his re- j
marks is that he thought the prospect of
purchase a gloomy one—that in his judg
ment there was never greater aversion on
the part of Spain to tho cession of the
island than at the present time—never
greater determination on the part of the
European Powers to prevent, if possible,
its sale, but that he could not believo the
President would endorse a measure of
this sort without some lights of which
tho country had no information; that
with his ministers at every court in Eu
rope lie had avenues of reformation not
possessed by Senators, lie would not do
him the injustice to think his late mes
sage in regard to Cuba, and his endorse
ment of Senator Slidell’s bill, was with
out some satisfactory data to go on. In
a word, Mr; Douglas was willing to clothe
him with power to make the attempt to
acquire Cuba. The reported account
credits him with the declaration that, in
his opinion, there was but one mode of
getting the Island, and that was on the
occurrence of another Black Warrior case
to seize it and then give notice to the Eu
ropean Powers that we are ready to ne
gotiate on the basis however of uti posidetis.
Senators Slidell, Gwin, I verson, Toombs,
Davis and others are understood to have
expressed themselves favorably to Mr.
Slidell’s bill. Senator Davis is reported
to have repudiated the idea of forcible
seizure by way of reclamation, and to
have urged the increase of tho secret
service fund. The caucus adjourned
without coming to any definite conclu
sion, though the sentiment seemed to be
pretty general in favor of sustaining Mr.
Slidell’s bill.
The project gives rise to much division
of opinion among tho Democratic mem
bers of the House. Some of tho States
riglits members from the South oppose it
on the ground of its vesting too much
power in the Executive, while the large
majority support it on account of an un
willingness to take on themselves the re
sponsibility of withholding the power to
attempt the purchase of the island. The
fate of the measure is very doubtful. The
opposition will be against it cn masse.
The Committee of Ways and Means are
still in helpless division on the tariff.—
The scheme referred to a day or two
since has fallen through, and there is
now good reason for hope that nothing
will be done this session. The returns
of the treasury for the past few weeks
exhibit a growing increase, indicative of
a revival in trade, which will enable the
government to get on with the present
tariff.
Washington, Jan. 18, 1859.
An extra session is now seriously talked
of. Only thirty-odd working days of the
present Congress remain for all the busi
ness that lias accumulated for the last
eighteen months, and how it is to be done
in the brief period remaining, appears to
boa puzzling enquiry. Tho truth is that
unless the appropriation bills arc pushed
with more vigor than they have been,
two or three of them must be lost. In
deed, the probabilities strongly favor tho
idea that some of these must go over in
any event. The various interests in the
House that want legislation for pressing
present cases, say the government can as
well do without appropriations as the
country can without relief from Congress
in the discharge of business properly and
urgently devolving on it, and that if the
withholding of the appropriations will be
likely to bring the body together again, •
they will unite for that purpose. Such is
now beginning to be the general talk.
An unusual crowd attended the Senate
chamber yesterday to hear the eulogies
on tho late Mr. Harris. Every niche in
the galleries of the new hall was crammed
to its utmost capacity. Impressive and
touching addresses were delivered by
Seuators Douglas, Davis, and Shields.—
The feature in the House proceedings was
the eloquent tribute of Mr. Lamar, of
Mississippi, lly general consent, it is
voted the most manly, graceful, lofty,
and thrilling effort of its kind that has
been pronounced here for years. This is
tho second appearance on the floor of the
gifted young Mississippian during the
session, and it is a high compliment to
say, that in his latter performace he add
ed greatly to the high reputation achieved
by his first.— States.
