THE LATEST NEWS,
RECEIVED By
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH,
FROM WASHINGTON.

speciA Dspseh to The n Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30, 1856.
A party of South Carolnians from Kansas passed
through here to-day, returning home, having absn-
doned that Territory as presenting no hopes to
their political enterprise or personal fortunes.
They and others from the South reliDqush the ex
pertinent as desperate, and complain of the Limited
material aid furnished by their own section.
The Tariff bill reported by the Committee of
Ways and Means at the last session and set down
for Tuesday next, as the special order, will proba-
bly, be superseded by prior business and deferred
to more distant day. Any general legislation on
this subject is doubtful at the present session,
though special objects may be secured by combina-
tons or fortuitOus causes.
The ceremony of receiving formal speech from
the Oldest member of the Foreign Legations VIA
not be observed on New-Year's day at the White
House. The Embassies will be welcomed as here
tOfore an hour before the ordinary reception, but
without any rigid observance of etiquette n.
Sartiges now ranks as the Oldest recognized ming
ter; and his omission will be mutually acceptable
to him and to the President.
Mr.. Wasbburne Of Illinois made personal ex-
planatcn in the House to-day, which Disconnected
the Democracy considerably. On the 9th inst he
stated that the Democratic papers of bis State
suppressed the resolution Of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton approving President Perce's Administration.
This fact was immediately disputed by Messrs.
Allen and Marshall, and also by papers in Illinois.
He produced this morning the State Register,
Galena Courier and Jacksonville Sentinel, showing
the suppression, and the subsequent admissions.
Messrs. Allen and Marshall receded from their
denial, thus crushing out all contradiction.
The Senate met received few petitions, and
shut up shop till Friday, with the intention of then
adjourning till Monday or Tuesday.
Mr.. Hamlin goes Immediately to Maine to as
sumo the Gubernatorial Office and the hope s e.
tertaned here that be will be promptly returned to
bis own vacancy in the Senate.
