News Of rh- Mern,ng.

President Pierce and Sidney Webster, his
privsse secretary, have been subpenaed in
the ..6llibuster case at New York. At least
such 10 the understanding at Washington.
Reports from Central America say that
there fears Of another 6llibuster expedition,
from San Francisco to Lower California. 1t
10 said, also, that Walker had not capi.ula-
ted. ~ II was believed he would do, at st.
George, but would carry the war into the
snemy's country. Reports, however, were
very conflicting.
The ice broke on the Ohio at Pittsburgh,
Wheeling, and Portsmouth, on the 9Th. The
river Was rising rapidly. A hole was stove
in the Arcola, at Wheeling damage slight;
and the steamer Chicago was sunk, short
distance below.
Several cotton presses we're burned at Mo-
bile on the 9th. Loss $4,000. 10000 to
$1,000 bales Of cotton consumed.
The coroner's inquest in the case of Bur-
dell, dentist, N. Y, was proceeding, and
attracted great interest. No facts with ref
srencs to parties implicated were elected.
A 6vs-story building corner Of Mercer
and Blescher streets, New York, occupied
BY Mr.. Bosch, as q cabinet warehouse was
consumed BY FIRE on the 10th inst, and Mr..
Bosch and his wife persisted in the flames.
CoKoRRss 9rn.--The Indiana Senators.
elected BY the late fraud, presented their
credentials, which were referred to the Judi
eiary committee. Considerable debate was
had over the subject, whether they
should be referred to the Judiciary com
nittse or select committee. The Judicial
~ committee, now having the matter in
charge, 10 the same committee that had Mr..
Harlan's case. We believe they will make
90 early report, and fan one, as the spirit
OF the Senate on the occasion seemed candid
and conmendsble. Mr.. Pugh gave notice Of
. bill regulating the elections OF q. S. Sena-
tori, which certainly seems very much needed.
In the House, the SUBJ marine telegraph
bill was referred to the P. @. Committee.
The tariff bill was discussed. The tariff
will probably be much reduced by the
House bill. The probability Of sur
plus revenue of $43 100000 next June. in
spite OF cxtravagant expenditures and lavish
appropriations for every thing. will do much
towards producing that result.

Dr.. Norman Eddy. United States Com
missioner for Delaware Lands in Kansas,
has been here several days making re-
port Of his doings to Mr.. Manypenny,
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs, and
meantime the sales are being postponed
from day to day until he returns with new
instructions. 1t is considered the most
profitable land sale ever made by the Gov
ernment. There are nine hundred Della
ware Indians on the lands in question, all
of whom, it is estimated. will be richer
by the sales than the average Of white
men. Commissioner Manypenny and
Secretary McClelland are dissatisfied with
the course pursued by Mr.. Eddy. and
will do what they can to prevent his be-
ing retained as Commissioner to superin-
tend the completion Of the sales in Leav-
enworth City.
Itappcars that Mr.. Eddy is in favor Of
sustaining the land appraisa's made by the
Commissioners sent out for that purpose,
which are perfectly satisfactory to the set
tiers, who have made valuable improve
ments upon their several lots. These lots
were each appraised at from $3.50 to $500
About half or two-thirds of those in
Leavenworth City are claimed by Free
State settlers, and with their improve
ments. are valued at $1,000 TO Sc, 500
Mr.. Manypenny. who has done his utmost
to enslaye Kansas. is still at his old work
He wishes to deprive settlers Of the righ'
to bid in their lots, according to the ap
praisal. but wishes to throw the sale opcr
to swarm Of spectators from Missouri
who would. by an understanding. ALLOW
the Pro-Slavcry settlers to bid in theil
lots. and secure to themselves the improv
ed lots Of the Free State men. He pro
poses to do this under the plea that thereb,
justice ,rould be done By the Indians! A
good deal he cares about the ladians, a.
his operations will show.
