SpIRJTOF The MORNING PRESS

SPIRIT OF THE MOhNINCf PRESS
The Union praises the New York Times
for it's declaration that one Of its reasons for
urging on the current Investigation is thus to
weed the Republican party of the connection
which some alleged corrupt members Of Con-
gress have with that organization.
Of the law to punish contempts of the an.
thority Of Congressional committees the same
Journal says
1.-The passage of the bill for the punishment
OF eontumaciOus witnesses constitutes an i'm
portant era in congressional legislation, and
the promptness and unanimity with which IL
was enacted will do more TO relieve the House
Of Representatives from the suspicions cast
upon portion Of its members than any step
that could have been taken. We think the
law passed is defective in some OF It's provi-
sions but they are such defects as Will not
neutraliZe its efficacy, and such as experience
will develop and call for amendment Ii Is no
solid objection 10 the law that Its necessity
was suggested by a special case. Most Of our
statutes have a similar origin; but being
made general and prospective in their provi-
sions. as this is, they are not liable to objec-
ton because they were suggested by a special
case If more time had been taken the bill
might have been more perfect; bat what
have been gained in this respect might have
been lost in the moral effect Of a prompt and
decided remedy for an evil which threatened
to defeat the ends of Justice"
The IHtsLligsHeer notices the fact that Lord
Napier, now the Secretary Of the British en-
bsssy at Constantinople, is spoken of by the
English press as likely to be the successor Of
Mr.. Champion ct this diplomatic post.

The Great Storm.
PARIS, France, January 5tb, /

The New York Eremtng Post says in re-
gard to the storm and the extent of country
over which it travelled:
From Montreal and Quebec, in the North I,
to Baltimore in the South. and from Dubuuue,
in Iowa, to Bangor in the cradle of the east
wind, we have intelligence, more or less com
plete, by telegraph, which enables US to form
some idea Of the extent of tho snow storm and
the prevalence of the cold. It would seem
that tho two have not travelled with equal
rapidity; for while the Geld snap has been
felt all over the whole country between the
points We have mentioned, and probably mu h
more extensively, the snow storm has not ex.
tended further than Buffalo in the West, and
there was moderate No mention of it is
made in Chicago, CINCINNATI. or Dubuque,
although the cold has been most intense in
each of these places. In the latter tho Their
nometer registered thirty-seven degrees be-
low zero ut sunrise yesterday morning, which
Is exceeded only by the village of Watertown,
In this State, where, on Sunday, all the mer-
curry thermometers CONCEALED at 81 degrees
below zero, and a spirit thermometer regis.
tered 40 degrees below.
Though more than a week has transpired
since the storm there has been nothing al.
preaching resumption of travel, even upon
many Of the principal routes There are but
two trains day running between this city and
Baltimore. The Southern lines are yet sealed
up.
1t is believed that the Orange and Alexan.
dria Railroad will be opened to-day from Cor.
don sville to Alexandria.
A dispatch was received on Friday night
from Richmond, stating that the locomotives
on tho Central Railroad had only been able
to proceed seventeen miles from that city, and
that the drifts were very heavy, exceeding
anything ever before known. 1t was no,
known when the road would be open to Cor
louisville, but every exertion was being made
to effect that object.

The News from Nicaragua.

The steamer James Adger, whose arrival at
New York We announced on Saturday, left
San Juan on the 18th. She put into Key W est,
and was detained there thirty.two hours
The purser reports that the cholera had dis
appeared from the isthmus There was little
sickness and no deaths on the Adger
The sloor -of-war Cyane was at AspinwalI
Walker was represented in better condi-
ton, having l, 200 able bodied men at Rivss,
who we're we'll supplied with ammunition and
provisions. Colonel Lockridge, with 300 men,
was still at Pupta Arenas awaiting the DOM
pletion of Q steamer, which was to be ready
about the 18th inst
The Adger encountered great fields of ice on
her homeward bound passage, in latitude 81
deg. and 80 deg
The passengers by the James Adger give an
account Of Walkers situation rather contra.
dictory of the pursers statement. The seizure
Of the steamboats, by Spencer is confirmed
Spencer states openly that he acted in behalf
Of Vanderbilt.
No injury was offered to passengers in the
captured boats but they were escorted to
Greytown, where the steamer was boarded BY
an officer from British man-of war, who or
dered the baggage Of the men to be put of
Immediately
Spencer kept the American flag flying from
nis steamer, aItnOugn ne maze the capture In
the name of Costa Rica.
President Mora, for the Costa Rican Gov
eminent, had issued a proclamation granting
pardon to Walkers men, and free passage
back to the United States, and both officers
and privates were deserving They all tell
hard stories Of their suferings from hunger
and sickness Walker is reported still at
Rivas, with 600 men.
Another account says Spencer states that
the Costa Ricans have $500 troops posted
along the route, and that they are all in force
at Sarapiqui, and have guns posted on both
shores.
The report that Gen Heningsen had fought
his way out of Granada and had Joined Wal.
ker is confirmed, as is also the rumor that
Gen. Chiffon, with large body of mon, had
pronounced for w alker at Leon.
Walker, it is said, retook Rivas and Leon
without losing man. Capt Saunders, with
his rifles, had advanced to Leon, to occupy
that post.
The foregoing is made up from statements
Of several returned Nicarsguans, who give
very conflicting stories.
