the spoils generally. II Is quite possible that mot
one public measure win be passed till the third Of
March, and that then the appropriations may sll be
run through between sunset and daylight, with the
President imprisoned in . side room Of the Sena
to sign the bills All in all, it will be highly in.

NOVEL INVENTIONS According to some of our
contemporaries, the New York HERALD is entitled
to the highest honors as the greatest inventor Of
the age. When, some months age, we received a
pious, moral toned communication, purporting to
come from certain abolitionists of 'Change Alley,
London, and enclosing us the dorcenr OF fifty pounds
sterling, Is the first instalment of bride designed
to aid in the defeat of Mr., Wa,bridge, candidate
for Congress from this city, and when we exposed
and published the fraud, the wseacres of the press
gravely declared that the whole affair was scheme
concocted and carried out by the HERALD, as an
advertisement to more fame And when, in few
weeks after, some other Of amiable friends had
placed in our hands packet, labelled as valuable,
but whose mission was to furnish us with an i'm
provised passport to eysium, the Same oracles de.
clared that this, too, was another invention for
notoriety, emanating from the same fertile source
set aside the afidavits Of the gentlemen tcstifying
to he particulars, as published by US at the time
We feel overpo .ered with a sense OF the undo
served compliments so lavishly bestowed upon US;
but our candor, as well our modesty, compals us
to dsciaim our title to them to such an extent As
it would, however, be of little avail to declare to
these iaterers of that have no right to the
honors of an inventor in the sense for which they
give credit we will only assure them thas we have
not the slightest objection, but, on the contrary,
would be most happy to see them initiate any Of
inventions, Let Of these editors get up fac.
smile Of the Walbridge bribe, and distribute two
hundred and fifty dollars among the charitable and
benevolent institutions around them, and We pledge
ourselves not to sue them for an encroachment on
our patent rights. And if they are of such ven-
turouy disposition as they credit us with, we viii
reload cur torpedo box in their presence, and place
it in their haEds, when perhaps they will make an
efor. to open it, as Mr.. Bennett did. That's all.
THE NIcARAGUAS MIAIs TER We Published, with.
in the past week or two, very voluminous articles
and documents in relation to the important matter
OF the contract existing between certain Of our cti
zens and the Nicaraguan government, for the con-
struction of chip canal through that republic.
Mr.. Aarcoleta, whose name appears prominently 10
the affair." the plonipotentiary of the Nicaragusn
government, having had his authority called in
question, ard it having been distinctly stated that
Nicaragua had national representative in the
country, Mr. Everett, the Secretary of State, has
given the following explicit denial of that allegn
tom

consideration. EDWARD EVERETT
To Senior Don Josy MancoLErA, &c
This looks bad for Wall street. Bat there vet
may be mistake; perhaps Mr.. Everett is not sects-
tary of State
Il will be interesting to the public to know that
we have in preparation full and impartial account
of the origin, history, present financial condition,
and political relations of the Transit Company,
which will prove an appropriate pendant to the
earos6 which we last week nr1de of the Canal pro-
ject. We propose to take up and sif; impartially
oil the schemes of connecting the two oceans, SO
that the people, who after all are most interested
may form sound and impartial Judgment between
them.
