Ecscutipc Interference w'M Coogress-Yze
GuUot'nc
Some days ago Mr.. Hoard Of New York
tossed a bomb into the Administration side
of the House, in the shape Of resolution
for committee to inquire whether the Presi-
dent and members of the Cabinet have brought
Executive patronage to bear upon members
of the House, to influence or control their
action There was a terrible hullaballo. and
the resolution was tabled. 1t will do to in
vostigate charges against the ex-Clerk Of the
IIouse-against the Door Kccpcr-against
Lawrence, Stone q Co.-and against spocula-
tors in government rcscryations-bu it would
never do to investigate charges against the
Administration. But Mr. Hoaid got a hear
ing, and put upon the record the Richmond
south and Enquirer" lboth Administra-
ton nowspapers,) and plain charges Of the
New York Tribune, all tending to show that
the patronage Of the Executive has been,
and is to be, used to control votes in the
House But there were no specific charges.
'cih rinesses, and on this ground the major
ty tabled the resolution. 1t is remarkable
that no such excuse was urged against the
other Investigations, They were based upon
suspicious informal charges-newspaper re-
ports. The resolution however, will have
an effect the scrutiny of Congress and the
people will he turned in the direction of the
Executive, and his footprints win be marked.
During the present week, some of the friends
of Douglas who were in office in Illinois and
Ohio, have been dismissed by the President.
Jealous efforts are made to bring sundry Yer
monters under the guillotine in like manner.
and both parties of the Democracy are here
in large numbers, and vigorously prosecuting
the battle.
Kansas Bill Rcporie3 IN he Seaate-H Homes.
To-day, the majority of the Committee ON
Territories in the Senate reported the Kansas
bill, with the Lecompton Constitution soma
tor Collamer submitted minority report for
himself and Senator Wade, and Senator
Douglas made a separate minority report
There is no hope of defeating the Lecompton
fraud in the Senate in the House there is
hope and it is stronger to-day than it has
been.

THE KANSAS FRAUDS.
The course pursued by Gen. Calhoun, in
certificates from the mcmhors
elect to the Kansas Legislature, is exciting
the surprise of honest men of all PARTIES
Whether the Pro-Slaycry or Free State party
have majority of the Legislature, depends
upon the validity Of the Delaware Crossing

turns made to him contained majority Of

the Prose of England made slower progress during
the same period and as evidence Of this fact he
terred to the works ofSir Thomas Moore. Lelands
Itinerary he characterized as delightfully."- quaint
English; spoke of the transatons of the Bible by
Latimer and Wickliffe and then traced rapidly the
salient points in the biography of Edmund Spen-
ser, followed him in 1856 to ireland where in 1856
he became the neighbor of Raleigh and in the
shade of kilcOman castle read to him the earlier
portions of the Fairy Queen. In 1890 the three first
books of the Fairy Queen were published in England
with dedication to Elizabeth as Queen ofEngland
France Ireland and Virginia Though an AllegOry
the lecturer said the Fairy Queen should be read
a school boy reads story. 1t is not merely an
allegory; it is tale Of chivalry-of romance The
language used by Spenser is more obscure than
that Of his contemporaries. His command of i'm
agery is almost miraculous. He ranges the whole
world of magma ton. He has wonderful richness
of phraseology, His use of antique words affords
great pleasure. This is one of the charms of the
old English ballads. \ similar charm is to be
found in Sponsors verse, and this is, to a consd
cradle extent, the secret of his power. After three
centuries, Sponsors verse is still initiated, but no
modern poet has equaed the grace of language to
be found in the original. The lecturer then closed
by reading number of extracts, in illustration of
his remarks, commencing with
gentle knight was pricking DER the plain
lclad in mighty arms, and silver shield,
Wherein old dnts of deep wounds did remain,
The cruel marks Of many a bloody field
And concluding with the fine passage describing
the death of Duessa.

Hon. EDWARD EVERETT AND THE New
YORK LEDGER-In advertising columns will be found
the prospectus of the Ne Fork Ledger which contains
all the particulars relative to Mr. Everets engagement TO
write for that paper. The Louisville Journal speaking
of this engagement, says:
The Hon. Edward Everett has paid the Mount
Vernon Association ten thousand dollars by him
from the editor the Ne York Ledger Of
his giving to that paper, throughout the coming year
original weekly contributions, under the head of Mount
Vernon Papers" This indeed is such an arrangement
other publisher in the United States in the world
ever had the liberaty and bOldness make. Edward
Everett the most accomplished scholar living and
we know not where to look for his equal in taste
knowledge and genius, and in grace, beauty, splendor
and magnitcence of thought and dction The that
writer like him has engaged at extraordinary
remuneration to contribute regularly to weekly family
newspaper, must of course, create immense demand
for that paper everywhere throughout the nation;
when it is known that, in addition to his splendid contri
buttons the paper has the regular services of twenty
thirty other writers each of whom has national rep
uaon the of the salaries paid out amounting
to at least thirty thousand dollars year, and probably
surely the demand cannot fail to be literally ire
mendous The Ledgers present circulation, of nearly
half million, may be expected to rise rapidly to mil

THE LETTTPE ,C

Eds. Exchange: A writer in your paper of this
morning regrets that the Mercantile Library Asso-
citation and the Maryland Institute have selected
the same night for their lectures thereby depriving
the community of the opportunity of hearing both
courses.
On the part of the Maryland Institute, the Lee
ture Committee 'would say in explanation, that for
eleven years they have used Tuesday their lecture
night; that their arrangements with their lecturers
for this season were made usual for that night,
without knowing that the same night would be Sc
lected by the Mercantile Library; that as soon as
they understood that the Mercantile Library had
determined to use the night, they resolved Ito
prevent the appearance of anything like rivalry be-
tween the two institutions) to change to Monday
night, and SO wrote to and informed all the gentle
men who were to lecture for them, but before the
time arrived for the lectures to commence the pu-
pills in the School Of Design attached to the Insti-
tute (some $50 in number) made so many and such
strong circumstances, that he change would de-
prive them of tie privilege of attending the lee
lures, Monday night being one of their school
nights that the Lecture Committee were reluctant
ly compelled to fall back Tuesday night, which
they had for so many years used. NJ.
