WASHINGTON. Jan. l6. lsS
You will see by thc tone al some Of the Texas
papers that stronger hopes enteraiaed Of carry
Ing Annexation now than d few days since. WHY
il Is 20 canno, tell. II my opinion, the subic,
cannot BE- disposed vi, any shape, during ID. pre-
sent session. None OF the propositions now before
the Senate will be iavorably reported on by the CON-
mit,ec Foreign Affairs, 10 I" Inch they have been
referred. That COMMITTEE IS composed OF Ache
Berrien Buchanan, 1lorehead and Choate. Hhai
chance is there Of Texas scheme from that source,
Ii the Committee is forced 10 repoF, al all they will
report adversely.
lis hard 10 tell when the debate will iermiuats
in tho House. When il does terminate, 1t will be
hsrd 10 tell which, if any, o: the fifteen or sixteen
mans will be greed upon. l; is rot 10 be supposed
because one man IL III favor o Que scheme and an0-
the, of another scheme, that they will be able all
10 settle down upon any one. \ GU might as well
,rv 10 cure the dyspepsia by throwing rew and
ncougruous materials into your stomach. The
Committee OF the Whole have all these strange
schemes thrown in together that they may erment
into one. They remind me Of the story | heard Of
a servant who kept litile bag, in which he pre-,
served pirct OF every thipg which his master had
eaten lor werk. The bag was IN pretty much the
same position, at the end oi The week IN which The
Cumn,ittrc wili be at The end OF the debate. Even
then, If lhs House should agre upon any measure,
and send the Senate tOr Ihslr continuation, is
lust as likely 10 be met win declaration that the
House have no business 10 meddls with lhlrgs per-
taung 20 the treaty making power, as 10 be Goa.

Madame Rumor has been treating Us 10 pretty
| little piece OF news 10 day III relation 10 Mr.. WI.
! iiaii.s, Collector at Boston.
LIZ is a,,id iu, ne gave his tongue great lber-
lies in talking about persons "non sis had no bust
ness 10 meddle with. The substance OF his remarks
is not fit for publication, but IL Is sad that The Col
lectoIShp OF Boston may be vacant again before the
| lth of March There sald 10 be some business
| transactions with John Jones before his apponI-
mert. | know not ho" true the report about the
money part of the Ioatter may have been.
The nomination OF Judges Walworh and King TO
| the Bench of the Supreme Court Of the United
States, it is supposed, will not be confirmed The
reason you give Tor Nalworlh's conftmation 10 your
| f.,rt A
one has ceased 10 operate with members OF The
Senate, for u reason 1T which your readers may
guess. Ii is said that hs charge OF iavorins Don-
| ism can be proved against Chancellor Walwor,h,-
| There are other charges made against him winch
you will probably see mcntiJnedby others, 10 which
| shall not refer.
We have no farther particulars Of The rumored
deiaications, bur We shall probably have
ton in the House tomorrow. The Committee on
| Expenditures have had the matter under consdera-
lion and reuty TO report. We had u story this
evening that the accounts all squared up, and
that there was nothing wrong. nm alraid that this
| story is notrle.
In my report OF Mr.. Bnnkerhof's wheriUg
sreech against Annexation, forgot 10 say that hei
a full-blo oGed Loc9-F~co. Sietson Of New York

You will see that the motion 10 inquire into the
late d1cl was laid upon the table to-day, Oiter an
angry discussion. The principle Is the same, whe-
ther life has been sacrificed not; bur would the
matter have passed off so easily had it been another
Cilcy ailairi These duelists, though, think that
long The horse is not stolen there is no use for
locking the door Let the press speak out boldly
on this matter. In what does the dueist differ FROM
the murdererl And yetpubiic opinion must be cor
rected before we can blame men for yielding, like

The weather continues to be bedelightiul We hsd
a little rain to-day like warm April shower.
