WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. =, 1857.
The recent letter in THE TRIBUNE representing
that the Interior Department hsd excepted to the
conduct of Commissioner Eddy in the Delaware
lar sales is decided mistake, and must have been
prompted by interested parties in the Leaveuworth
Land Company, which is composed of Southern
ard Free State men in q common speculation Mr.
E6dy's sCts have been approved throughout, and
became home to consult authorities personally before
proceeding with the sales, believing the apprase-
ment to have been deprecated to the disadvantage
of the Indians, which view is concurred in By the
Commissioners who were appointed for the purpose
upon the ground that the recent troubles lessened
the value of the land.
Information has reached here from reliable
sources that the Border Rufiians of Missouri have
plsnned oescent upon the Shawnee lands on the
Ksr sas River about the 10th Of next month. by
the treaty With this tribe they we're allowed to
select 300 400 acres between the Missouri State
lie and thirty miles west Owing to the non CON-
pletion Of surveys and delay on the part of the
United States the locations have not been made by
the Indians, aid the design now proposed is to
seize the best part Of the reservation. The Gov
erpment is apprsed of this intended foray, and steps
Will be taken TO prevent it, or collision must be
inevitable.
The opposition threatened by portion Of the
South sgainst Mr. IlsIrisOn's nomination as Kansas
Judge is on the pretext that the President has no
power Of removal This point was decided in the
early part Of Dir. Fillmore's Administration, when
he removed Mr.. Goodrich in Minnesota, to appoint
personal friend, under the authority Of Mr.. Crit
tenders option then Attorney General, and the
nomjI alton was confirmed unanimously by the
Sci ate.
The Presidents eyee, opening intended for to-
light, was postponed in testimony of respect to
judge Daniels bereavement.
The debate 10 day in the Senate on Mr. Harlan's
case bas Only served to complicste it more eaec-
tually and increase the chances against his reten
ton. Mr.. Seward opened effectively for the right
Of Mr Harlan, being sustained by Messr. Brown
and Hale, while Messr, Stuart TOucey and Doug
las were sgalnst. TIE question now has assumed
a party aspect and chances are therefore embir
rassef
Much sen,ation was produced in the House TO-
day BY the resolution of Mr. kelsey for Special
Committee Of i've 10 investigate the charges Of cor
rupton allege BY The N.so York Times ard support
ed by the testimony ofslr Paine of North Carolina.
After various suggestions of amendment it was
passed in the original form. This movement does
not directly cover the land printing or other large
operations of last session. or the sale Of bOOks aud
seate BY members, which are involved in the Prin-
cipe of inquiry, and are important to be investi-
gated if an effort is to be prosecuted seriously; 9th
eIwise the whole affair is farce, because, on pend
irg measures, no proof Of direct yenality may be
established. The parties implicated have covered
their tracks pretty edectuay, or will rely upon the
c"rtumsey Of witnesses. Nothing short Of a
tho rough scrutiny WI 'a'iAy the public sirce il has
been undertaken.
