The NIayoralty OF baltimore.

1t will be seen by the letter of our Balt
more correspondent that HUeH JENKINS, esq.,,
has twice been nominated as the Wing cand
date for the Office of Mayor of Baltimore
the second time unanimous y-and yet, through
that modesty of character for which we have
understood this excellent citizen has ever been
distinguished, he declines to accept the post of
honor which his fellow citizens would assign
him. We trust that Mr.. JENKINS may be in
duced to review his decision; for though ordi
narily we should forbear to obtrude an opinion
in regard to the selection of municipal officer
out of our own city, yet in the present case the
great private worth Of the individual named
which has only blazed out more brightly from
the efforts of its possessor to hide it from pub
lie gaze-makes it duty of every Wing to
join with the Wings of Baltimore in urging
this eminent and meritorious gentleman to be
willing to bear the Wing standard on to VIC
tory.
IL is a lust sentiment that honOrs are not TO
be declined when the public good requires the
sacrifice which the citizen makes in yielding
up his private wishes and incinations to de
mand like the present; and we sincerely trust
that Mr.. JENKINS will allow the loud and
unanimous voice Of the members of the politi-
cal party TO which he has ever been attached to
have their legitimate influence upon this occa-
sion.

Mr.. Webster leaves this evening for Marshfield,
In company with his son. His autuunal fever has
just come upon him, and he is quite unwell; bat
all the pressing business Of his office is duly dis.
charged, and the routine, during his absence, will
be safely left to the experienced chief clerk of the
State Department, Mr.. Hunter, who will be the
Acting Secretary. The President called to see Mr.
Webster at his resdence, at 2 o'clock to day, and
took all afectionate and respectful leave of him.
The President and Secretary are on kind and con-
hdential terms, notwithstanding all the misrepre-
sentations Of those who wish we'll to neither Of
them.
II is a matter of doubt how far Congress has tho
power, or how far il is expedient for the exercise
OF the power, to cut up both Houses into COM
mittees, with authority to make inquiries, to ira
verse the country and employ operatives, and all
that at the public expense, during the recess of
Congress. II it is a matter Of personal favor or
advantage to members, ali ought to enjoy it; or
each member should have the right to receive
certain sum in Communication for the benefit, as
they do in regard to the books furnished.
The three committees which to set during
committees, relating to alleged abuses. relate to
subject which particularly concerns Congreas. as
sort Of grand inquest of the nation.
The thru committee, on the subject of frauds on
the revenue is necessary to the satisfactory con;
sideration Of the various projects before Congress
in relation to the modification of the tariff. The
tariff Of 1916 would work still better than II Does
could 1t be made rogue proof But the system Of
assessing ad rdiorem duties on foreign productions
is exposed to many evasions and frauds. Many Of
those articles that enter into the consumption Of
the wealtbier classes-such broadcioths, silks,
laces, and other fine goods-do not actually pay
two-thirds of the duties nominally levied upon
them. TO give the home manufacturer and the
revenue all the benefit which the act of 1876 int nd
ed to afford to them, the professed object and wish
Of ali parties. The subject will engage the atten-
ton of Congress at the next session, and therefore
definite and reliable information respecting it 10
