this morning, and tomorrow none but few strag-
gers will be visible, who sre in search Of Offices for
their friends or for themselves.
This general exodus prOdaced marked impress
sion upon the Senste to-day, for hardly quorum
was present. Mr.. Macon called up his report and
resolutions from the Committee o: Foreign Affairs,
concerning the Outraged" IN the Cali, and this
enabled Mr.. Benjamin 10 deliver the speech which
be has medtatsd for some tine psst, gong far
greater lengths than the Committee Mr. Mallory
followed IN the same direction, and Judge Douglas
relieved himself Of an episode in Illinois politics,
wherein he presented leading othcehoiders OF the
ADMINISTRATION who figured 81 the Springfield Con-
vepton in DO enyisbls hght, giving notice, ii
they we're not checked in this shameful course,
what consequences would follow. Lelb, Carpenter
and their coniederates We're graphically pictured
before the Senate. After Tit between Mr. Cling
man and Mr. Doolittle in regard 10 the Psultlng
affair, Mr. Tocmbs sgnified that if the question was
pressed on the resolutions, he should DEBATE them
ayerring at the same time that they did not 60
nearly lar enough for hun. Under these circuln-
stances an Executive Session was carried.
All the nominations which were laid over yester
day, including those of Vaudeville, Surveyor-tien-
eral of California and the Marshal OF Kansas from
Georgia, were again sent in by the President. The
extradition treaty with France was ratified. though
il was necessary to call in additional Senator'S, after
the vote was taken, in order 10 make up the quo
rum The Senate might easily enough adjourn to-
mOrrow, if the disposition were entertained. Ihere
are number of small Indian treaties in Oregon
and Washington Territories yet to bs considered,
bat they involve controversy. The Dacotah
treaty is yet pending, under postponed motion to
reconsider.
Congress has gone away, leaving the country in
a condition such as has not been experienced for
many years, and without having made an effort to
relieve the wants of suffering and sighted industry.
Forty millions of dollars have been authorized IN
Treasury notes and loans within five months, IN
addition to the revenue from customs, lands aud
miscellaneous sources and, with the current ex-
penditures a still further use of the public credit
will be demanded in December next. This Is the
first session since Congress voted themselves sala-
red officers and they have adjourned two or three
months earlier than at any period WITHIN hlteen
Years, and without the least pretense OF having
attempted anything but the appropriations and sec
tional agitation. No provision OF any KIND was
made securing the Treasury notes and loans. for
which the proceeds of the public lands were always
heretofore pledged. These are some few OF the
results which Democratic Administration and
Democratic majorites IN both branches of Congress
have achieved after . session OF more than hys
months. II requires the bodest OF andacIty to face
constituencies after such criminal and williul
neglect.
The catalogue of bills passed is dull recital OF
the common routine, unredeemed by public inca
sure Of any importance, or by one act OF policy OF
national magnitude. The private bills were carried
by drumming and log-ronlng. The lobby fairly

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1853.
There 10 nothing 70 secret that it will not out
they say. And there is another proyerb which tells
US that when rogues fall out honest men are likely
TO learn things which they ought to know. What
is true Of rogues is true OF politicians. When
quarrel breaks out among the politicians OF party,
the opposite party may rely upon gaining useful in
formation. Matters will De disclosed which were
meant to be kept carefully eoyered up and it is re-
markable that the secret corners which arc then
raked open invariably those in which some un-
cleanness is concealed. Human nature has not
reached that point of perfection which would prompt
man to 90 about rebearsng the good traits and
the good deeds Of his enemy. AT least, not IN

The harmonious Democracy have had a new
quarrel. The bright and briapt and serene tu
tnre which was gOrgeously painted and prophe-
sled by the ubllant orators who clustered around
the President on the night when the Democrats OF
the capital cee brated with music aud with ban

lery. their triumph over Kansas and the Black Re-
publicans-that future is already black and turbu-
lent with clouds Of rage and hatred. The men who
carried through Congress the English bill Tor con-
sderation are furious because they cannot get their
paw and have gone home denOun ,lDg the President
and his Cabinet as cheats end traitors. On the eve
of departure they have stated to me how the thing
was done, and requested me 10 communicate the
particulars to ruE TRIBUNE and the country.
The passage of Engsn's Kansas bill depended on
the Ohio Democrats in Congress, especially on Cox
and Lawrence both committed against LecOmptoD,
but both weak men, susceptible To influence and sure
to Yield If strong pressure we're made upon Them.
The war spirit, stimulated by the prospect Of call
for volunteers to serve in Titan, ragged violently IN
Ohio, and a regiment was organized there ready for
immediate service whenever called upon. Every
possible agency Was brought 10 bear upon the Pres
ident and his advisers 10 obttin for Ohio the PRIV
ilege of furnishing a regiment Washington swarmed
with asprants for glory and commissions from that
State. The President and the Secretary OF War
replied 10 al applications the subject thai nothing
could be done or would be done until Congress
passed the Kansas bill and the Deficiency bill. Mr.
Floyd's word, his word as Freemason, was
