the confirmation Of Mr.. Cook, rs Postmaster
at Chicago. II was expected that he would
pursue this course. but his bitterness was
rather astonishingly intense. He charged
Mr.. Cook with all kinds Of crimes and cor
ruptions, and states that he will sustain his
charges by proof. A little more than four
years ago, this same gentleman was the bo-
som friend Of Mr.. Douglas, and at the re-
quest Of the latter the former was appoint-
ed 10 the position he now holds by Presi-
don't Pierce. But a change has taken place
since then. Now Mr.. Douglas is warning
against the Democratic party, and his for
lner friends arc thrust aside to make room
for hi, new allies
/ henrd Mr. Wilson Of Massachusetts, ro-
mark that he desired very much TO see Mr.
Douglas speech on this subject published.
According to his opinion, il severed the last
bond which connected Mr. Douglas with the
Democratic party This Republican Sena-
tor seemed to be clated with tho oloquence
and bitterness displayed by tho new recruit
of his party, and was apparently willing to
acknowledge him rs leader in tho ebony
party already. Mr.. Douglas will cndeayor
to have the injunction of secrecy removed
from these proceedings.
Washington, March 6,
The Grand Jury Of tho CITY Of Wash
ington have under tho law of Congress to
punish contempt Of the authority of either
House, found presentiment against John
W. Wclcott, the recusant witness.
Tho probability now is that Mr.. Wolcott
will tell what disposition he made with the
money placed in his hands by Lawrence,
Stone l. Co.
Washington, March Z.
Mr. Green has arrived here as a mcssen-
ger, bringing with him the Journal of the
Lccompton Convention and the evidence
taken before the Commissioners to examine
into the illegal frauds on the 2lst of De-
cember and 4th of January. The docu-
ment is volumnious. 1t is said that the in
vestigation reduces the legal vote of the
former TO about $500, whereas it was here
tofore stated at 6705.
The three branches Of the House Kansas
Investigating Committee will, it is supposed,
make their report next week.
Tho Herald correspondent says that Mr..
Bernheisel, the Mormon Delegate in Con-
gross, has recently read letters from Brig
ham Young, in which he predicts the ami
histion Of the United States troops in Utah,
unless they are recalled by the government.
He also suggests the appointment of n
Commissioner to proceed TO Utah to inquire
into the condition of affairs there.
The Times correspondent says it is ex-
ipected that Monday or Tuesday the major
ity report of the select committee on
Kansas will be presented to the House,
when the minority committee will immedi-
ately move, as question of privilege, that
the whole matter be referred back to the
committee, with specific Instructions on the
ground that the orders of the House have
not been obeyed. 1t is believed that such
movement will be rendered successful by
the votes of number of members who arc
in favor of the admission under the Leeomp-
/, ton constitution,
Correspondence OF the Y. Tribune, March T.
The Union compliments Gov. Stewards
great speech by saying that as regards all
the essentials that may be supposed to have
power in Pandemonium it cannot be eXcell
ed. 1t declares that there can now be but
two great parties in tho country-one ma
tional, the other sectional. BY which il
means one Pro-Slavery and the other Anti
Slavery. The day of parties founded or
economical questions has passed away
Parties that have attempted to wear two
faces on the slavery question have gone tc
pieces, and the democracy can no longer tcl
crate halfway opinions or halfway men.
Mcssrs. Douglas, Stuart, Broderick, Walk
er, Wise, and Others, are apostates on th'
great test question, and the Democracy re
nounccs them. They belong to Black Re
publicans, and are traitors, like Arnold ant
Judas.
No eulogium of Senator Hammond
. speech has yet appeared in the Union, n
omission which excites much comment fror
Southern men. His frank admission tina
for sixty years tho shareholders have rule
tho country, is considered damning con
fession.
Washington March 9.
There is no immediate prospect of the al
rargement for expediating the transports
Ition OF the mails between Washington an
r ,ston, preliminary to reform in tn
Southern service. Tho Senate in executiv
session to-day confirmed Mr.. Cook as Po:
+ Master at Chicago.
A Washington despatch Of the 9th to tn
(. Tribune states that the intended movemer
for remanding the inquiry into the Kansa
. frauds to the Select Committee with instrut
tions is postponed, owing to the absence {
!, five Anti-Lccompton members.
