q small and uncertain majority this was no very

every intelligent mind that to SEND commissioners
m Kansas with discretion TO investigate, is equal
IN an indefinite reinforcement OF the rights oil tue
parties interested. The pretense OF opposition on
the ground Of mourning expense Is hatdiy worthy
of respectful consideration. The committee never

absolutely necessary TO satisfy them on the points
most involved, and perhaps fifteen or twenty would
have been the extent of the number summoned.
THE Committee will meet tomorrow morning,
ard then determine upon the course TO be recon-

No censure which may be employed IN depre-

States at this uncture, can be too severe, IN we"

II is by no means certain whether our tillibuster-

that both Governments have agreed 10 suspeh-
sion of diplomatic intercourse. The Admlhistra-
ton will seek TO get rid OF him, Tor MI. DODoin,
who obtained the appointment, has said on more
than one occasion he never would nave RECON-
mended his nomination, had he supposed there
Was ANYTHING to do requiring discretion or ability.
As ne has affiliated with Walker in his official ca
pacitv. it is quite becoming he should make the
experiments. disrobed of his diplomatic toggery.
All the accounts which reached the Govern
ment BY the last mail agree in regarding walkers
tenure of power to be doubtful, not SO much from
the forces which Costa Rics aud Guatamala are
alleged 10 have called into the field as from foe,
whose approsches are more insidious, and whose
exsctons are more difficult to deny. The ac-
cursed thirst for gold, of which Horace spoke so
feelippy- auri sacrG fames-disturbs the patriotic
emotions OF the heroes who have assembled under
the banner of this adventurous chieitaln. Ihey
enrolled in the army OF that extemporlzed kepuo-
lie with the promise OF 100 American dollars
month, TO LAY nothing of any quantity OF bounty
land Thus far. they have received only SIR cents
a dan to provide themselves with rations, and not
a copper for anything else. The military chest Is
almost empty. If the country was wealthy 1t
would soon be replenished. But it has no other
riches tina those which nature has prodgally bes-
lowed. All the principal citizens WHO were SUE
De cted of having means were laid under cOntri-
button as soon as Walker got possession OF Gran
ada. They have been squeezed to the utmost
and cannot respond to her demands, even were
they inclined. Ii is said two companies of men
recently reyolted for want of pay and others
Threatened to follow the example. Ii the Preto-
riaps once begin to act for themselves, the end OF
Gen. Walkers career may be predicted without
much exertion of the spirit of prophecy. The
mass of the who engaged in this enterprise
were stimulated by the prospect OF gam when
that disappears, the army will soon sink like that
which Fallstaf mentioned Oh memorable occa-
sion. with some corresponding elements OF char
