WASHINGTON, jan H. 1910
We refer you to your reporters minutes, for an
account OF the interesting proceedings IN the Senate
to-day Mr.. Allen was thrown as high as the dome
of the CAPITOL upon the question OF foreign nerer-
in the affairs of this continent. His question
otleave, was laid out as cold abolition petition
We shall have to build twice The number OF steam
ers reported in the bill OF Mr.. Fairfield, before we
can carry out effectively, the resolutions of Mr.,
Allen. Meantime, the motion is as fla, as porgie
In The House, had five speeches for the notice,
upon the Oregon question. BY
Mr.. Stanton, of Tennessee, sensible and argu-
mentative;
Mr. Gordon, Of New York, rather prosac:
Mr. Bnnkerhoh, OF Ohio, clear, sparkling, and
pungent;
Mr.. Wentworth, OF Illinois, short, good humored
and conversational;
And Mr.. Chapman, of Michigan, who took away
the prize, by universal assent.
IL you have ever heard Pop Emmons in fourth
OF July Grafton, you may form some shadowy idea
OF the 81 40 eloquence OF this redoubtabe Wolve-
rine During his scattering shots OF wit, poetry,
anecdote, satire, and rldcuie, the House were anu
sed as though the hall had been converted into
circus, and Mr. Chapman into the clown. The
laughter was just uproarious, and the mock he
roic expression and gestures of the speaker every
whit as warike. Col. Cooke, OF Tenn, secured
the floor, as the first In order for tomorrow.

GENERAL POST OFFICE.

The Postmaster General was employed from
Thursday last until yesterday, in opening the bids
for carrying the mails in the western section, for
which the contracts come round this year. The num-
Der Of offers is very great. We understand the bids
amount to about $4,000. In the State of Arkansas
alone there arc between 60 and 10 routes and more
than LOO bids were made. We understand, fur
Their, that the saving to the department under these
bids will be from 30 to 40 per cent. And it is hoped
that in consequence of the reductions in the cost Of
Transporting the mail, and in addition to this, il the
postage law be SO changed, that letters which the
FIVE cents postage is paid be reduced from half an
ounce TO quarter of ounce, ii may come to pass,
10 distant time, that the department may be able
to pay its own expenses, without drawing for addi-
tional resources upon the general treasury. .. a'
The Postmaster General is anxious to expedite
the mails, as well as to reduce the expense He 10
now engaged on schems foe transporting the mail
from Boston to Washington in "a hours; and il all
the railroads will bat extend the same facilities
which some are willing to do, the work will be nc
complished. He proposes to scoaomiss the time
which is now lost at the post Offices at Baltimore,
Philadelphia, &C., in waiting for tho mails, 40
to hand in the bag at che postofice as the
car passes, and receive in return the made-up
mailbag for the post Offices on the route

FROM THE CAMP.

Dispatches were received yesterday from General
Taylor to the 9Th Of April-several days earlier
than other letters which had been previously r..
ceived from the camp by other sources. General
Ampudia had not arrived at Matamoras at the date
of these dispatches of the 9th. There were said
to be at that time not moro than 1900 Mcxicans
badly armed and organized. Our troops felt perfect
ly secure in their own strength and position. The
general had raised battery on this side of the
river, and on the 9Th he had mounted the cannon in
their places, 70 as to command the town of Mata-
moras. They had also enclosed camp near the
battery for smaller corps Of men, which was con-
sidsred perfectly unassaable and thus the general
might hereafter dispose Of the main body of his
troops as their health and convenience should re-
quire. A full and interesting account is given OF
the interview between General Worth and the Mex
lean officer at Matamoras, at which the general dis
played all the TACT coolncss and selfpossession for
which he is so eminently distinguished.
These dispatches were written before Colonel
Cross had disappeared. OF course no account is
given of him.
There are no New Orleans papers by this eve
ning's southern mail And Of course we hear moth
ing of the arrival Of the steamer Hunter at New
Orleans, in which General Worth had embarked,
and in which it is also supposed that later despatch
es from the army were transmitted. ,'

We need not, We are sure, bring before any
mans mind, by an elaborate statement, the now
aspect which our tariff discussions and tariff regu-
aiions must take, during the present Congress, In
the presence ofthe free commercial policy nov beng
established in that great country with which our
commercial relations are most various, extensive,
and important. The whole effect which open ports
In England destined sooner or later to produce
upon the industrial system Of this country cannot
be exactly foreseen. 1t must suffice for US now TO
know that this British freetrade is regarded
both by its friends and lis foes on the other side Of
the Atlantic, the beginning of a .ohOliy COM
msreiai era. That it is destined to operate vast
change in the prospects of the agricultural interest
of our countryside interest," that is, which en-
braces nine'tenths of the labor and capital OF our
nation-cannot be doubted, Time must be waited
