SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE \. I. TRIsCsZ.
From Special CoTyeponderk
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Jan. 81, 1853.
The mission of Dean Richmond and others here
is mainly TO consider the policy of the New-York
dele CATION in regard to the Lecompton instrument,
though nominally concerning patronage. The
course of Erastus Corning being that of the pivot
man, is watched with much interest. He has yet
given no distinct intmation of his purpose He
and those not already pledged are reserved 10 their
declarations, and are waiting full results from
kaIsas before coming ~ a decision.

state dinner on the 26th inst, to the Whole diplo
matte corps, Cabinet and dgnitsres, in celebration
of Prince Frederieks marriage.
The receipts from the Customs of NewYork
have, for the past week, averaged $4,000 or
100000 daily, nearly doubling those previously
since the panic. The Treasures clerk who pre-
pares the weekly statement is sick, hence the last
omission.
/ The Senate Territorial Committee agreed this
morning unanimously to recommend the admission
of Minnesota. Nr. Douglas ID authorized 10 pre-
pare report, embodying the facts and the recon-
merdatitn to admit; the repOr. TO be presented on
Monday. The difficulty regarding two Conventions
was overcome by member Of one who was on the
Conference Committee. and verified the joint pro-
duction as the Constitution, which was accepted as
a substantial compliance with the spirit Of the ena-
bling act. Gov. Medsry gave as d reason for not
certifying the document, bis absence from the Ter.
rtory at the time. The Constitution provides for
three members OF Congress, but the returns only
authorize one and fraction. To relieve this OBJ
lection, tie Committee viii reproduce the words
OF the enabling ac! allowing one member and as
many more as the census apporticrment permits,

A correspondent writes us bitter attack on the
system of District Superintendent Of Schools now
existing in this State, urging return 70 Town
superiatendents. This mpels US TO gay that we
earnestly protest sgsinst the change proposed. We
can but mske room for the heads Of our reasons
as follows:
]. The present law gives rs something over One
Hundred officers in place of nearly One Thousand
Regarding public functiOnaries as at best neces-
sary evil we decidedly prefer that system which
does the requisite work by the fewest hands.
2. The District School Superintendent pretty
generally deyotes his time Cor good part OF it to
his oficial duties, which the Town superintendent
never did nor was ever expected to do.
3. The District Superintendent is pretty gener'
aly chosen with some regard to bis presumed nj
ness for this particular Office This was rarely the
case with the Town Superintendent, who was quite
generally disappointed candidate for supervisor,
Justice or Town Clerk, who had TO be concihated
somehow. and who was made Superintendent lest
his friends should bolt the ticket, and who was
often VIGOROUSLY unfit TO examine teacher, mucn
more to supervise the schools OF whole township.
4. The Town superintendent could naruiy anoru
to see and was in no condition to realize that the
schools of his township were falling or had fallen
behind the average Of those Of the county; While
the District Superintendent is in position not only
to perceive the fact but to apply the remedy.
5. The Town Superintendent seldom dared insist
on liberal outlsys for the Improvement of school
houses, &c. in his township, lest the necessary in
crease of taxation should ipjure him and beat his
party next election. The District Superintendent
can and safely may require necessary improvements
in defsnce of "the shrieks of locality
I'm short, we are intensely, totally, lrrevocaoiy
hostile to a return to Town Superintendent. Ii
we favored any change, it would be one in the oppo-
site Notwithstanding the size of the Districts
and diminishing the number of the Superlntendents,
each being required to hold an examination OF
Teachers in each township of his District at least
twice a year. But we are rather inclined to let
we'll alone.

Hezekish Niles, is this country more indebted for
