HE LOPEZ EXAMiNATIoN.-Our readers will be pleased to see that this tedious and improbable investigation has been brought to close; the counsel moving, that the ac- cused should be committed for trial before the U. $. Circuit Court. This course should have been adopted at first; the accused would then have obtained eclat and position by his surrender; and if, instead of "a tedious obstinate cavilling, and nterposing techni cal objections to evidence, he had boldly and manfully avowed his agency in the business, and thrown himself upon the pro lection of the laws, many would have giver him credit for believing, what he and his contederates so strenuously contend -tha ne has done nothing in contravention O those laws.
 The examination, however, no doubt very unexpectedly to some, has produced it: frults. The evidence has elicited many in terestlng facts, showing the notifications o inc plot the parties participant, and tht crownng and singular incident, that ths arms ot the State of Louisiana were used il inc expedition.--N.

WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-It has been very properly suggested that on the 4th of July, the anniversary of American Inde- pendence, the people, in their social gather ings, make contributions of any amount they may see proper, even if it is but a few cents each, to aid in the erection of the Ma tional Washington Monument. Two cents from each individual in the Union would exceed half million of dollars!

CONG R E SS.

One might hope from decision yester- day that the Senate was almost in sight of land. This decision was the adoption, by a large majority, of Mr. Soule's amendment 10 the compromise bill, stipulating ''that when the new Territories shall be admitted as States they shall be received into the Union with or without slavery, as their Constitutions may prescribe at the time of their admission" How much may be in- terred from the strong support which this provision received, we cannot undertake positively to say, but we presume that its adoption has not only gained friends for the bill, but promises an earlier disposition of the whole subject in. the Senate than we could have before ventured to anticipate.

OUR PREsIDENT.-The Buffalo Coname

OUR PREsIDENT.-The Buffalo Comme,- cial Advertiser says:
 "Within the last twenty years, no Execu- tive has been so entirely free from the charge of undue interference with the rights and prerogatives of Congress, as General Taylor. And we venture the assertion that it is beyond the power of an interruptions opposition, to point out single clearly es- tabished case. It was the peculiar vice of his four predecessors, Polk, Tyler, Van Buren and Jackson. And not only was it attempted to control legislation by inter terence,' but on the part of some of them, by intimidation and coercion. No ante and past Interference with the legislative department of the Government is the pe- culiar and prominent virtue of Democratic Presidents-as the records of their innu- merable vetoes, and subsidizing of members of Congress clearly show"

The Census Law of 1850.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, speaking of the census law, very justly says:
 "The new census will be one tremendous array ofinvaluable figures, any one of which may dsarm hundred phantoms, and put to flight thousand sophistries. Facts are the only data of all political dialectics, the primary elements of all political science. Such statements as this census will furnish are the beacons which illuminate the great civil deep. and guide the public pilots on their onward course. Society is in a per petual state of fuctuation. It is a sea of currents and counter currents; and the pol icy or the measures which may at one time be embarked upon with perfect safety and success, will, at another, end in shipwreck and ruin. The statesman, unlike the phi losopher whose province is the universal and immutable, has to do with the particu- lar and the transient, the conditional and the contingent. Such Investigations and developments, as are involved in this cen sus law, are indispensable to all wise legis- lation; and the more complete and exac, they are, the better for the interests of the country"

The Boston TraUeler, neutral paper, thus approvingly speaks of the course of the Administration in regard to Cuba matters: "lhe whole course of President Taylor has been an open, honest, and earnest pro- test against any violation of OUT treaty stip- ulatlons with Spain; and we have the fullest confidence that no rash or uncaled-for pro- ceedings will be adopted by his administra- ton. The brave old General knows too much of the evils of war to hazard, by any rashness, the peace of the United States, J, The TraUeler, in the above speaks the sen- timents of our whole people.

TIE CELEBRATIONS Within the last week the Benevolent Associations (Odd Fellow and Masonic) of this place, have had appro- priate and splendid celebrations. The first was on Saturday, by Tulula Lodge No. ?, 1. o. o. F. A procession was formed at the Lodge Room, which moved through the principal streets to the Methodist Church, where an able and interesting Address was delivered by Capt. JNo PRESTON, Jr. This address was something more than those us- ually elicited upon such occasions; it exhb- ited a depth of profound historical research that is rarely met with in public speeches, and Twas delivered in a style of refined and impressive eloquence that added much to the authors already high reputation as an orator. Al the conclusion of Capt Pres tons address, about 200 ladies and gentle men repaired 10 the Planters House, where they partook of an excellent dinner-a re- past that was highly creditable to the house and the country.
 The Masonic Celebration came off on Monday, 24th. A procession was formed at the Lodge Room, which marched through the principal streets to the Courthouse. An appropriate Address was delivered by R. F. SUTTON, Esq. We had not the pleasure of hearing Mir. Sutton's Address, but under stand that he acquitted himself with infinite credit. After the delivery of the address, the company present Qadies and gentlemen) repaired to the American House. where they partook of a sumptuous dinner.
 At night the young and gay indulged in the pleasures of the Ball Room.
 Everything passed off pleasantly and har- moniously, and both celebrations were con- ducted upon those liberal principles peculiar to the institutions of Masonry and Odd Eel lowship.
