FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON Jan. 90, l-57.
Mr.. Wise and a whole raft Of Virginia editors are
bs,e summoned by the rumored apprehension OF
Mr. Buchanan's inclination to abandon Mr.. Floyd
and adopt Mr.. Hunter as Secretary OF state. Inc
bare suggestion Of this contingency has stFred up
hostility keeny, and the Nlrginians, with Wise at
their head protest most vehementy. Within -
hours circumstances have rather pointed to Mr..
Hunter a. Premier, but with no authoritative as
sursnce. This has resulted from embarrassment not
from inclination, and has been proposed as mode
of compromising an acknowledged difficulty. WITH
Mr.. Cass aside, there is no point OF agreement
except Nr. Marcy, and he is not received kindly,
and Will not be accepted but as necessity. The
suggestion of Mr.. Hunter has Occssioned trouble
in another direction. Mr.. Buchanants firmly liked
upon Mr. Cobb for the Treasury, and will bring
him in LET who will stay out; but Mr. Cobb IS uh-
willing 70 play second part to any man oil his own
rank OF wears and has so signlhed very emphatlcsl
". He is thus indirectly serving Mr.. Wise's in-
terest with which he is not identified. Mr.. Bu-
chansn mourns over the want of harmony among
his frieId s.
At Mr.. Msrcy's reception last night, Mr. Bu-
chsuan was the particular star; but the company
Being good be left like other gentlemen to fol-
ow his own nclinations
Mr.. Seward has been detained from the Senate
for several days BY severe cstarh, which Is new
partially checked.
The Committee of Investigation are now waiting
the pre,ence of some witnesses summoned from a
distance.
The Senate was engaged four hours and half IN
discussing the appointment Of Mr.. Harrison for
Judge of Kansas. No objection is made against
him personally, but the effort Of Mr. TOomb' and
Others is to induce the President to recall the nOmi
nation ard continue LecOmpte. Il appears no ac-
tual superseders has been sent 10 LecOmpte, and
BE- continues in Office, while the nomination of his
successor is pending. livery effort will be made
to postpone and cmb Hrsss action, in the hope that
Dir Pierce may yield to the pressure for retention,
or the question may be thrown over to the new
administration. Mr. Cass and such like while pro-
Tossing to favor lIarrisons nomination, have indl.
directly aided the postpOnement sought by Lee
complies friends and thus proved allies instead OF
opponents. II is very evident from the urgency
with which this matter has been pressed, that the
Southern ultras hope to perpetuate the disturbing
issue in Kansas, through the fundamentally of
Judge obnoxious to the whole people in the Ter
ritory.

The long controversy hich has existed as TO the
value of the Trinity Church property, aud as to
Whether or not lis proceeds have been appropriated
in conformity to the trusts upon which it is held
seems at length to be approaching toward a go
luton. The report Of the Selec: Committee Of the
State Senate, in relation to this subject of which
an abstract was given in our yesterdays account OF
legislative proceedings at Albany, is of very sig
rifcsnt character AID not only that, but in the
highest dtgIcc damaging to the Trinity Chu.eh
Corporation, VINO are charged in it-or those at
least wtO have undertaken to speak for the Cor
porat on-with studied attempts to conceal from
the knowledge of the public who the corpOrators
are, the amount Of the property held by them, and
the purposes to which It's income Is applied
This vast property, without including some parts
Of II which at pre,ent are uDproductive, is esti
mated by the Committee to exceed four millions OF
dollars in Values value constantly increasing.
The income OF il, instead of being deyoted to ex-
tending the facilities for religious instruction. would
seem. according 10 this report, to be mainly EN-
ployed in extending the influence and domination
of Trinity Church. Instead of endOwng new and
independent parishes with land and thus gradually
distributing this vast estate, when the Corporation
makes grant at all, ii ia either in the shape of an
annual stipend to the rector reyOcabe at pleasure,
or else money. grant to the parish, for which a
mortgage taken on the parish church, the interest
not being collected, but lief. to accumulate, as a
means, in addition to the principal, of keeping the
parish in a dependent position. Trinity has now
sixty-sx churches under mortgage to the extent Of
near 100000, and thrty-eight clergymen held by
the golden chain OF stipends at pleasure.
This is certainly an appropriation of that vast
property in which the people Of NewYOrk, who
have long stood in wholesome dread of clerical
control, will not be likely to acquiesce and we are
inclined to think that in undertaking to set egisa-
tive interference at defiance, the Corporation will
find i'self 10 have reckOncd without its host.
