Affairs In Washington.
OUR SPECIAL TEIEGRApHe CORRESPONDENCE

|
| WASHINGTON CITY,
"WEDNESDAY EVENING, January ., 1880.
In consultation, yesterday, among certain lead
ing democratic Senators, 1t was agreed that one of
them, on the arrival of the gallant Hungarians,
from New York, should introduce resolution,
suggesting grant of land TO the exiles. Mr..
Seward was too quick for this arrangement, how
ever his resolution, to-day, cuts out the democrats
on the land speculation, and goes even ahead Of
Gen. Cass, on denuncaton of Russia and Austria
So much for the prospects Of 1852.
The Austrian resolution Of Cass is still pending.
MIR. Slicer, Methodist, is defeated, as Chaplain
of the Senate, by Mr.. Butler, Epscopalian elected
by the casting vote of the Wee President. Mr..
Butler is the husband OF the lady who was one Of
the witnesses against Bishop Onderdonk.
An immense pile of foreign and domestic nomi-
nations have gone into the Senate, including, as
we learn, the New York and PhiladelphIa APP
pointments That of Colonel Webb is among
them There is no report upon any yet, except
that of Mr.. Ramsay, as Governor of Minnesota,
which is recommended to be confirmed.
II is said that Sir Henry Bulwer disclaims, as
you have previously reported, the conduct of Mr..
Chatfeld in Nicaragua, and states that the island
Of Tlgre will be conceded to the United States 1t
placed upon equal footing. Among other
dts, it is SAID that if the treaty ceding Tgre
Island to this COVE rnment goes to the Senate, an
amendment will be moved, applying the Wilmot
Provso to the island.
The democrats Of the House took the alarm on
the first vote to-day, and after bringing up several
sick absences, they have been working to post
pone the election Of Clerk, as they have reason to
suspect that the free sollers will unite on Foote.
HALr.PAsr TES, PM.
We understand that Bishop Hughes is in the
city, and has secured California mail agency for
a Mr.. Bailey, of New York-a relation Of the
Bishops private secretary.
Last session, Mr.. Benton's resolution was passed,
continuing the officers Of the Senate ia their places
indefinitely. design Is on foot to rescind that
resolution, and have new election of secretary,
&c. for the benefit Of certain outside democrats.
We are authorized to state, that Texas will
probably sell out her claim to the disputed terri
tory, for ten or fifteen millions Of dollars. Col.
Benton's proposition looks to some such arrange
ment

The PRESS AND THE OFFICE OF CHIEF OF POLICE
A clerk in the Office of the Chief of Police is in
the habit Of devotng his time to the reporting Of
the proceedings of the Common Council, and he
also supplies police and other intelligence, from
the Chiefs Office, 10 two or three newspapers In
the city. Now we think there must be unfairnsss
somewhere. Either the gentleman is not paid a
sufficient salary by the Common Council, which
is a reproaoh TO that body, or if he is paid fair
salary for his time, he is acting unfairly TO the
public, whose money he receives, in giving up his
time in reporting for newspapers. 1t is matter of
surprise that the Chief Of Police permits IT, and
still more that it is connived at by the Common
Council. THIS gentleman takes advantage OF his
position to communicate intelligence, in advance
of the other papers who DO not employ him. Is
this fair TO the rest Of the pressl

TCLECRAPBIC INTELLIGENCE,
TelsSraphic Summary.

We publish underneath telegraphic synopsis
Of all the important proceedings that took place
yesterday in Washington, Albany, and other parts
of the country. Our special despatch from WASH
ington details what was done in Congress yester-
day
1t will be seen that the Assembly of this State
was occupied almost the whole of yesterday with
debate on the slavery resolutions, introduced by
Mr.. Raymond, Of New York. 1t is apparent that
the wings In the Legislature are determined to out
Herod Herod on that question, and to take the
ground from under the feet of the free soilers il
possible. If we mistake not, this subject will oc.
cupy great deal of time in our Legislature, and
the action which they will probably take upon it,
will of course produce counter-action in the
South. The Senate was engaged in miscellaneous
business, and report Of their doings will be found
below

THK RECENT DErALcATioS.- our special cores

ported dealcaiions discovered By the present cab.

there is certainly some consistency in his theory.
There can be 70 doubt in reference to the particu
lar case Of Prosper VI. Wetmore. that he has been
charged with a serious delalcation amounting to
over one hundred and seventy.fve thousand do
lars by the department, and that orders have been
gwen TO Mr. Prescott Hall, the disirio, attorney
here, TO commence persecution against him. Yet
we have seen every wing organ here, as well as IN
Philadelphia and elsewhere, repudiaie the idea Of
any defalcauon in the case OF Mr.. Wetmore, and
m addition TO this strange course, the Republic a,
Washington, which has been noisy Tor the last few
months about few minor dcfiultcrs IN different
parts Of the country. seems noe inclined to touch
this subject, but TO consign II to utter oblivion
II is supposed by some that this new tack 10 the
wing policy, has been produced by the discovery
that the sub treasury law requires the department
TO proceed crimnally against all who are actually
defaulters to any department Of the goyernm a.
This, certainly, Is new view ct the subject. and
will give rise TO serious reflections here an1 10
