A REPoEr.-The New York Herald, SO IL
nous for its premature discoveries, has let
ter from correspondent, dated City of Mex
leo, Feb lst, which says treaty Las been
signed between Mexico and the United States
by which our government is TO loan Mexico
S15,000,O0o.
OF this sum S3oOo,0 00 goes to pay Ameri-
can claims. AS security for the loss, the u.
States are to receive 10 per cent OF the GUS
toms. Arrangements are also to be made for
a more extensive commercial intercourse be-
tween the two countries.
If it is to be an indirect way Of bribing
Mexico into the adoption Of asystem of trade
with us, it would be most polite measure,
but strict constructonists would be puzzled TO
find the power in the Constitution for the gen.
eral government to make loan to foreign
nation. Free trade with Mexico would
enhance our exports Of manufacture for which
she would mainly rely on us.

A SINGULAR MIsTAKE.-The Legislature of
Illinois, adjourned on the 10Th without day
An apportionment bill for the representative
and senatorial districts in the State, which
had caused high degree Of party excitement,
was passed in spite of the strenuous opposition
of the Republicans, who, after their defeat,
relied with confidence on Gov. Bissell to ar
rest it by his veto. But to their chagrin, it
came back next day with the Governors ap-
prevail, which fact was recorded upon the jour-
nal of the House. An hour after, letter was
received from his excellency, saying he had
signed the bill by mistake. and withdrawing
his approval. The law had gone through all
its forms and could not be nulified; it was
effectually a statute Of the State. Notwith-
standing, the Governor sent in formal mes
sage the next day vetoing the bill and his
own approval of it. Whether the bill was
such one as he did in his conscience approve
and felt bound to sign, and was afterward:
driven by the camor OF his political friends tC
retract his sanction; or was the signature in
truth an oversight, are questions which each
one answers according to his political preju
dices. There can however be no question as
to the validity Of the law; the mistake is ar
incurable one.

The ExPUsLIoS OF MEMBERor CONGRESS-
The following is the resolution with which
the report Of the Congressional Corruption
Committee concludeds:
"That w. A. Gilbert. a member of tho
House from New York, did agree with 4. +.
G. Triplett to procure the passage of resolu-
ton or bill through the present Congress for
the purchase by Congress Of certain copies Of
che book of said Triplett on pension and bounty
land laws, in consideration that Tripleti
should allow him to reserve q certain sum Of
money out the appropriation for that pur.
pose.
That Gilbert did cast his vote on the Land
Bill, depending heretofore before this Con
gress, for corrupt consideration, consisting oil
seven square miles Of land and some stock Civ

{ In the debate that succeeded, "wonder
GUS fellow feeling" was exhibited by many o
the defendants of the accused. There was al
offensive attempt to impeach the witness, and
disparage them as''poor degraded specimens o
humanity assailins the characters Of high
ly honorable members Of Congress-" After
long debate, the report was accepted and or
dered to be printed.

CITIzENsHIP.-Mr. Biggs' amendment to
the Minnesota State bill in the United States
Senate, providing that none but native or nat
uralized citizens Of the United States should
vote for members Of the Convention for the
forming Of State Constitution and its adop-
ton, was carried by decided. majority. The
mover said the proposition might have a faint
of Know Nothingism in it, and he did not
know whether it was one Of the principles OF
the Democratic American party or not, but
he was himself most decidedly in favor of
combining the privilege Of voting to actual citi-
zens of the United States, native or natural
lied.
Mr.. Broadhead of Pennsylvania, said he had
supported the principle in the adoption of the
Nebraska bill, but he was the only Northern
member Of the Senate who sustained it,
He was in favor Of the proposition, because
ne believed the right of suffrage was cock
tensive only with the rights Of citizenship
He could go no further than the Constitution
of his own State had gone, and that has con-
fined the right Of suffrage to citizens of the
United States. Mr.. Brown Of Mississippi ex-
pressed his hearty concurrence in the views
expressed by Mr.. Broadhead.
This doctrine Of the American party in In
diana is thus sustained by the highest Old Line
Democratic authority in the Senate of the
United States. The only positive measure
now proposed by the American party here, is
change of our State Constitution restricting
the right OF suffrage to those who have been
made citizens Of the country under the laws
of the United States. We trust this reasona.
bic proposition. sustained as it is, by the lead
ing Democrats of the country, will find no op-
position from old L.neism in Indiana.

KASsAs1S CoSGREss.-The House of Re-

KANsAs1N CoNGREss.-The House of Re-
representatives. passed bill on the 18th by a
majority of t,oenty, repeating all the laws of
Kansas, declaring the present Territorial Le-
gislaturc spurious and providing for new
election. Although there is little reason to
hope that the Senate will concur in this action,
it is nevertheless of considerable importance
as an indication Of the increasing strength
ola just sentiment in regard to Kansas. 1t
woull be a fortunate event for the country,
and for the incoming Administration. if the
Senate would co-operat: with the House in
thus removing the most formidable obstacle
to the restoration Of peace in Kansas, and one
of the most fruitful sources of ill-feeling and
contention in the Unionat large. The sincere
friends of Mr. BUCHANAN cannot but desire
such a eonsummation.

week at night in the midst Of snow storm.
a telegraph operator in one Of the cars, named
Stager, (of course Yankee) hearing the
cause of the detention, got cut and taking
down the main wire from the pole alongside
the track, cut it-attached small brass wires
to the two ends, dotted" the distress Of his
train to the Pittsburg and Brighton stations;
and putting one of the brass points to his
tongue read the answer that an engine should
be immediately sent, and then talked off this
pleasant lightning to his anxious and impa-
tent fellow passengers.

o. The Richmond Wing says there is a
deadly ieud existing between Gov. Wise and
the Hon. Mr. Hunter and their respective
friends. In 1854 there was an arrangement
made between the friends Of each that Wise
should be made Governor, and both parties
should then support Hunter for tho Presiden-
cy. IN violation of this agreement, Wise, az
ter being made Governor, became ambitious
and intrigued for the Presidency himself; fail
ing in that speculation, and wishing to remain
the most prominent man in old Virginia, he
is trcacherously operating against Hunter to
prevent his advancement and to diminish his
influence and reputation. The Wing says
Wise has ruined himself with all parties in the
old Dominion and his influence is entirely de-
stroyed.
He has vigorously attempted to rally, but
all his efforts have been in vain. His Gizzard-
Foot letters crushed him to his ''no more"

The BLESSINGS OF SURGERY.-The Men,
phis Bulletin relating two cases of interesting
and successful surgical operations by DIR.
Fenner in that city gives the following details
of one of the cases;
The operations was for congenital cataract
In 1S49 he was thirteen years of age, and had
been the same as blind from birth-his vision
being SO obscured as barely to distinguish light
from darkness. DR.. h. operated on the right
eye at that period, with complete success
extracting the diseased lens, and giving to him
perfect vision with the use Of cataract glasses.
After the acquisition OF sight, thus obtained,
he learned TO read, pursued course OF edu-
cation, and is now medical student in this pla-
&c. The last operation was for the extrpaton
Of the diseased lens from the other eye. twas
quickly and skillfully done. The operation,
though SO important and delicate one, is not
very painful. An incision is made across the
front part Of the eye ball, sufficient in breadth
for the passage out ofthe diseased lens. 1t is
then detached and extracted with delicate in
struments made for the purpose. The wound
heals up, and an artificial lens adjusted IN glass
ses worn like ordinary spectacles, performs
the functions ofthe natural one, giving perfect
vision. In this case, the extracted lens was
of dngy greyish co.or, opaque, and covered
the whole Of the retina.
Ofcourse, our professional readers know how
entirely practicable these various operations
are; but the idea of cutting open the eye ball,
actually taking portion OF it out, and thereby
restoring the blind to sight, will be new and
strange to those Of them who, like ourselves
have not had occasion to particularly note the
successive steps which surgical science has at
taincd.

STARCH FAcroRY.-We are very glad to
learn that active measures are to be taken by
several citizens to establish mandatory OF
starch from corn in this city. 1t is a very
profitable branch of business, in which n very
few establishments have a monopoly. There
is no point in the country, that presents so
many local advantages for au enterprise Of this
kind. We have cheap corn, cheap fuel. cheap
labor and the surplus water in the canal is
soft and pure enough for the process.
