THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAUCrs on
THE CONGRESS PRrSrNG.-From the proceed
ings in the democratic caucus at Washington
last Saturday night, on the question Of the Con
gress printing, IL is evident that when that sub
ject il fairly preached we shall have some rare
sport. This printing embraces clear profit to
the happy recipient of about hundred thou
sand dollars year-four times the amount Of
the salary Of the President Of the United States.
Here, then, is plumber worth hWing; and we
may depend upon ii that there will be a terrible
squabble about ii. Some Of the democratic
organ grinders Of the "rural districts have
discovered that their claims as party men are
Just az good as If not better than, the claims Of
Mr. Harris, or Mr. Wendell Of the Union. Be

wards a combination movement against him
The Kansas question itself will hardly cover a
more comprehensive field Of research than this
Congress printing; and the rich spols involved
make il certain that the whole field will bc ex-
plored. We may therefore, when the subject Is
tapped. expect some very curious disclosures
touching the success Of Wendell In the last
and seriously affecting the chances of the Union
with the present Congress A hundred thousand
dollars Of public plumber, per annum, for even
two years, is worth fighting for F; and we think If
this printing is to go for the good of the party

President makers, who have been living for
years and years upon three hundred subscribers,
and government pap amounting to fifty or
seventy-fve dollars year, should have finger

GENERAL Wool AND SENATOR DAvIs.-We
publish elsewhere letter from General Wool
to the Flag Of The Union Mississippi journal.
by which IL will I've seen that the correspondence
between these two gentlemen, in relation TO the
delay in presenting the sword voted by Con-
gress 10 the first named, has already reached
the fifth remove, or "countercheck quarrel
somc," as defined by Touchstone. II will be
remembered that this testimonial to General
Wool, after having been prepared in accord
ance with the act of Congress, was allowed to
remain long time in the War Department, and
was there when Secretary Davis turned that de-
partment over to Secretary Floyd The new
Secretary caused the sword TO be Mt once for
warded to General Wool. with handsome let.
ter, and Senator Davis has endeavored to shield
himself from the suspicion that attaches to his
motives for delaying the presentation Of the
testimonial ordered by Congress, upon the plea
that Congress did not prescribe the manner
in which the presentation was to be male
Several letters have already passed between
General Wool and Senator Davis, in which the
Shaksperean gradations of "the rctort cour-
teous," "the quip modest" "the reply churl-
ish i" and "the reproof valiant have all been
duly gone through with, and the matter will
now, IL seems, be called up in Congress. Let
us have the whole truth about the affair, gentle
men: the public wishes to know If Senator Davis
has suffered the petty instigations of personal
malice TO influence his official conduct az Secre-
