Washington Union, upon the heels Of the bonn
oardment of San Juan, appeals to Congress for
the small discretionary fund to the President,
in reference to our Spanish relations, Of ten
millions Of dollars, or 50, and thinks that such
an act Of confidence in the Executive would
have the effect of bringing the negotiations of

ANOTHER TEN MILLION SCHEMs.-The at
tempts made last week by two members from
Mississippi, to introduce resolutions to place at
the disposal Of the President ton millions Of
dollars so as to adjust the difficulties with
Spain during the recess of Congress, (ri ct
arms, we suppose,) are but another specimen
Of the means resorted to by the present Marcy
Davis administration. In consequence Of the
extreme steps adopted towards Gen. Quitman
and other Cuban sympathizers, by Judge
Campbell, and endorsed by the official organ,
q very bitter feeling has been aroused in Mis-
sissippi, and the Southwestern States generally
the papers there being filed with denunciar
tons Of Jefferson Davis. In order to try and
counteract this feeling, and make the people,
believe the administration is really favorable
to the acquisition of Cuba, couple Of members
from Mississippi have been Undue ed to offer
the 6libuster resolutions referred to. Ofcourse
JEFF. Davis we'll knew that the House would
not listen to such proposition, and thus he
hoped to obtain cheap popularity at home
by making it appear that Congress had refused
to place any money at the disposal of the
President, and consequently it was impossible
to do anything in the matter. We take it, how
ever, the people Of Mississippi are not fools,
and that they understand perfectly that If the
administration was really desirous Of pressing
Spain to settlement, nothing would be easier
than for the President to send message to
Congress stating his object, and asking for an
appropriation to carry it out. If Congress
then refuses, the President and JEFF Davis
might say that it was not their fault. But the
paltry dodge Of getting irresponsible resolu-
lions offered in the House for the express pur-
pose Of having them voted down, whilst it Is
fully in keeping with the character Of the pre-
sent administration, is too transparent to inn
pose upon any one.
