The Washington dispatches of the Oath
have the following items of interest:
The motion of Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, to
refer the Navy Appropriation bill to the
Committee of Navy Affairs, was intended
to inaugurate system applying to all
General Appropriation bill, thereby dimin-
ishing the power of the Committee on
WAYS and Means, and encouraging retreneh-
msnt Although not presented as strict
ly party measure, 1t will receive strong
support from the Republicans. r.
Mr.. Kilgore, of Indiana, will endeavor,
after the recess, to introduce, under sus-
pension of the rules, his resolution demand
ing information concerning the action Of the
Administration respective the landing OF
the slaves in Georgia.
Objection was made to-day by Mr.. Gar
nett, of Va, TO the introduction of the
resolution. This is indicative of "a deterlni-
nation on the part ofthe extreme Southern
members to smother investigation.
An editorial in the States, tonight, as
serts that Juarez's envoy here is authoriz-
ed to offer concessions, which will amaze
the country, on condition that Buchanan
will recognize the faction of Juarez as be-
ing the legitimate Government of Mexico
Among the concessions which the States
is permitted TO mention, is one giving di'
rect transit between Texas and the Gulf oi
California. Another guaranty is, freedom
of trade, and the settlement of pecuniary
difficulties on terms most favorable to the
United States.
Gen. Walkers friends here, deny the
receipt of any information of the landing
of the Susan's passengers in Nicaragua, al
though they do no: doubt the fact. They
also express the confident belief that sever.
al hundred additional "emigrants" fol
Nicaragua will elude the vigilance of the
Federal officers within few days.
The Union's leader of to-day is slgnlfi
cant of backing out of the important new
doctrine of the present Administration II
favor of the enforcement of the contracts
of American citizens with foreign Govern
ments. 1t excites much surprise and com
ment.
The Committee of Ways and Means
have reduced Secretary Cobb's estimates
for the expenses Of the next year, two mil
lions of dollars.
A better disposition is manifested toward
a modification of the tariff, and a moder
ate bill is now being prepared, combining
the principles of specific and advaloren
duties.
1t is the general impression that Sena
tor Douglas must be tabooned, if he fails
to demand satisfaction for the insulting let
teri of Slidell and Jones.
The Democrats will endeavor TO kill the
House Pension bill in the Senate Commit
tee, in order to avoid public test.

R The St. Louis papers of the 18th
give detailed account of tbs explosion at
Belcher's sugar re6nary. The bodies Of
thirteen men were gradually exhumed from
the heated masses of brick, iron, and wood.
Three wers corpse, scalded and mangled
in the most dreadful manner, and the 9TH
ers were terribly, and several of them fatal
ly, wounded. Some twenty laborers were
employed in the building, not one Of whom
appears to have escaped sufficiently un-
harmed 10 give any coherent account of
the catastrophe be experienced. The
conclusion shook the earth and buildings
for several squares, and was heard with
perfect distifctness over all the northeast
ern quarter of the city. The southern and
western walls of the engine building were
blown out, and ponderous masses of timber
and iron were thrown sixty feet upward in
to the air.

"Turned LOase'' Again.

General Foley, of Indiana, has been in
dulging in another epistolary flight. We
find bis last effort in the Cincinnati Times
The letter turned up in a Magistrate's
Court under these circumstances:
Two Indianians disputed in regard TO the
delivery of drove of hogs. One of them
entered suit and secured an Attorney
suit was about being brought, when a con-
tract was produced, copy of which, yer
batim ct literatina, we produce below.
1t was written by Gen. F., Con-
gresham from the State of Indiana, whose
signature is attached as witness. The
signature is of the same chirography as the
document, SO there is no dispute as to the
authorship. We omit the names of the
parties:
'this the 10th of November 1858
''this is contract maid and agreed up
on Between-and- the said-has

The Delinquent List is entirely under
the control of the Auditor and Treasurer
and the Commissioners have nothing to dc
with it in that respect. Neither was the
subject ever brought before them. The
assertion that in every other county in the
State but Holmes, ii is given to one paper oi
each political party, Caskey ought to know
is false. II cannot be advertised in more
than one paper unless each should agree
to take balf price, as the amount tc be paid
is fred By law, and we do not believe there
is Republican county in the State where
the Democratic paper is authorized to pub
lish it.-Holmes County Former.
The above extract needs little correct
ing. The Treasurer has no more to do
with the Advertising of the Delinquent
Land List, than the man in the moon. II
be had, different policy from the mean
and narrow minded one now pursued here,
would soon be inaugurated,-for he is a
man. If as is above stated, the subject
was never brought before the Commission
ers, then one of them, a man of truth and
probity heretofore-has been guilty of tell
ing falsehood in regard to it. We know
that the price is "6xed by law,"-even
though we have no extensive law library"
to resort to,-bu: we know also, that this
law has been regularly violated ever since
it had an existance, or at least so long as
the German paper was published in this
county, it and the Farmer, both getting
full price. But then these were both Lo-
cofoco papers, and we presume if there
were twenty papers of that political char
acter published in the county, they would
all get this advertising, and all get full price
for it too, but it is little and beggarly in a
Republican paper to claim it. What bu-
siness have the Republicans to want to
know anything as TO how their money is
spent, or how the affairs of the county are
conducted? Such impudeuce on their part
should receive a check Immediately. II
our assertion that in every other county
but Holmes, this class of advertising is
given to one paper of each political party,
is not true, will the Farmer please to name
the exceptions? There may be such, but
we know of but one in the State, still we
do not suppose Holmes county is the OILY
one in the State, where "mighty mean men,
occasionally get office.

g The Locofoco' press had better be
sparing of their abuse Of the N. Y. Irib.
une. The Editors of that paper seem to
be very uncertain whether they will sup
port the next Republican candidate for the
Presidency or not, and it is not unlikely,
ifthey conclude not TO do so, that they will
support the nominee of the Charleston
Convention. There won't De much doubt
of it, if Mr. Douglas should get that nomi-
nation. The Tribune wants the Republi-
cans to drop their present party name,
adopt some new one, go snooks with the
Native Americans, Spiritualists, Free-Lov-
ers, and every ism in the land, in order to
beat the Locofocos. The Republicans
think they won't mix.

The GREAT LEvIATHAN.-The English
papers arc indulg ging in the expectation Of
signal success for the mammoth steamship
of $4,000 tons, under the management OF
the new proprietors, who have obtained her
at about one fourth of her cost. 1t is
quite likely, however, that she would prove
a dear bargain even if they had obtained
her for nothing. The cost of sailing her
must be enormous, and the cargo she will
carry will be very small in proportion to
the cost ofcarryIng. All which shc seems
to be available for is transport ship, when
the movement of large numbers Of emf
grants or troops TO a distant point is called
for. The cargo stowage is at only 5000
tons, which is not more than three or four
times that of one of our medium sized
carrying ships, whose expense for year
will not be much more than those of the
Great Eastern for day. Her coal stow
age is stated at 10000 tons; and her con-
sumption of fuel will he about 200 tons a
day. She could take 5000 soldiers to In
dia, probably, in sixty or seventy days.

About Governor for 1859.

From various parts of the State our ex-
changes come to us at present agltatlng
the important question as to who shall be
the next Governor of the great State of
Ohio. They seem to be pressing the
claims of the favorite of their own particu-
lar section.
In this connection have been announced
the names Of Caleb B. Smith, of Cincin-
natl; D. K. Carter, of Cleveland; Colum-
bus Delano, of Mt. Vernon: Joshua R.
Giddings, of Ashtabula co.; VIM. C. Den
nison, Jr, OF Columbus, and perhas others.
Now, although we have not heretofore
said anything on this matter, yet We have
had a candidate all along, and we take this
occasion to notify our contemporaries and
their several candidates that our candidate
will rec i've a very warm support from a
pretty considerable "neck of woods" about
here
Our candidate is no other than the HON.
MARTIN .WELKER, the present Lieut..
Governor of the State. He is a man with
talent enough to fill any position with hon
or to himself and benefit to the people
With an unsullied characte, and grow
ing reputation, he is a gentleman inside and
outside. He has filled high Judicial po
silion with eminent ability, and as the pre-
siding officer of the Ohio Senate, he has
conduted himself so rs TO acquire the
friendship and command the respect of all
those by whom he was surrounded while
pursuing just and upright course.
He differs from great many men, in
this important particular-that the longer
he is known the better he is liked.
We shall have more to say on this sub
iect at another time Coshocton Age.

H '.The Mexican and Central Amer
ican Colinizatian Association" is the name
of a secret society, which, "they say" is ex-
tending rapidly throughout the different
cities of the Union-for what purpose may
easily be imagined. "They say" also, that
many of its members are very wealthy,
which is not bad way to induce poor ad-
:renturers to engage in any scheme of fill
busterism that may be started.

A Boy TIES HIMSELF TO THE TAIL OF
A Cow.-A most distressing death occur
red in Rappahannock county, Virginia,
lately. A little son of Mr.. John T. Cor
der, near Flint Hill, left the house with a
negro to drive some cows to point not
far distant. In few minutes the negro
returned and stated that the little fellow,
who was about nine years of age, had tied
himself to cows tail and had been badly
hurt. The father proceeded TO the spot,
about mile from the house, and there
found the little boy tied to the tail of a
COW by a rope around the waist. He was
dead, having been dragged some distance,
and his body shockingly mutilated.

A NEW MovE-Gcn. PIERcE's name is
mentioned in connection with the next
Presidency. 1t is said that he was sent
abroad to avoid the clamor of politics in
the United States and to remain away un-

Administration has been rendered respec-
table by contrast with that of Mr.. BUcHAN-
AN, but it was thought of it at its close,
that no lower bottom than that to which
it had been sunk, would ever be found.
