WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The construe-
ton Of the Senate and House COMMITTEES
on Public Lands shows that extensive
packing has been going on against Cen
trail route to the Pacific, anil cxcites a
good deal of Indignation. The fact that
Mr.. Broderiek was thrown off OF the
Senate committee because he was in favor
of the above named route has already
been extensively commented upon. Cen
eral Walbridge. of Michigan, one of the
most earnest friends Of Central route
to the Pacific, and who has served on the
Land Committee ever since he has been
in Congress, has been transferred from
that committee by Speaker Orr. to the
Committee on Ro IDS anil Canals. The
fact shown in my last, that the PreSideat
is in favor of an extreme Southern route.
that Mr.. Gwin is laboring for such route
and that the committees of the two Hous-
es are packed against route that will be
satisfactory to the business portion OF the
country. is evidence that we shall not
have a Pacific railroad out of this Con-
gress.
The House this morning laid on the
table the whole subject relating to the
right Of Mr.. Harris, of Maryland, to a
seat, thus giving that gentleman his place
by a vote Of 103 to 81. 1t was a strict
party vote, If we except Messrs. keitt,
Ciarnett, anil Seward of Georgia, who
voted for Mr. Harris on personal grounds.
The important fact demonstrated in this
vote was, that the entire Illinois delega-
ton, except the Republicans, roied trith
tie administration against Mr.. Harris,
who always voted against Lecompton.
All the other anti-Lecompton Democrats
voted for Mr.. Harris. The action of the
Douglas Democrats in this matter is taken
as an Indication that Mr.. Dougl las is go
| ing with the Administration. If he has
so concluded, am satisfied of one thing.
that he will make the journey back soil
tary anil alone, with the ejaculation Of
those who thought better of him. Of
Good bye. bad rubbish" He has mis-
taken the temper of the men who have
associated with him in the anti-Lecomp-
ton fight, If he thinks them to be wealth
er-cocks.

1t is boldly charged in this city by
gentlemen who profess to know what they
are talking about, that Gov. Cummings,
Of Utah, has become Mormon. or. pro-
fesses to be one, and that he is juggling
with Brigham Young to have eonstitu-
1 ton so framed as to secure the votes of
! the South. by Indicating to them that the
new State will endorse slave holding, AMI
evade polygamy. Gov. Cummings OBJ
| iect in this is to get elected to the United
States Senate The people who inhabit
Carson Valley-the faireSt and most val
liable portion Of Utah-declare this to be
true. and for this reason are anxious to
become organized into Territory in Or
der to escape the disgrace which now at
taches to the Territory of Utah.

WASHINGTON. December Is.
The course of the Union produces a
profound sensation. 1t has read the Pres
ident out of the party, and virtually pla-
ced Mr. Cobb at the head of the Admin
istration. The article Of last Friday on
the tariff causes astoniShment and dismay
among the Buchanan men in the Execu-
tive departments and in Congress. The
/ Union represents that Free Trade is the
doctrine Of the Democracy, from which
it can never depart, that Protection in
any case whatever is pandering to per-
sonal interests, and in class legislation.
The remarks are plainly levelled at the
/ Presidents recommendations in favor of
wise and specific duties The central
organ plainly intimates all who subscribe
to such doctrines are anti Democrats, and
not entitled to the confidence Of the par
ty. The article is written in the exact
style of the message, and was either COM
posed by Mr.. Cobb or under his direc-
tions.

WASHINGTON, Doc. II. 4
If any of your citizens contemplate
meeting Judge Douglas on the arrival at
New York of the steamer Black Warrior
from New Orleans, they will be disap-
pointed. A letter received here last eve
ming. from New Orleans, written by Judge
Douglas Just on the eve of his departure
| from that city, states that he would ''tar-
ry awhile at Havana. AS he is under
stood to be in favor Of acquiring Cuba,
he viii have an opportunity, while on
the Island, of ascertaining the views of
the people in relation to his project Of
annexation. The Judge will probably
reach New York about the first week in
January. He win 'tarry awhile" there
to receive the "hearty congratulations"
Of numerous people upon the glorious
prospect before him of being elected again
to the Senate upon an outrageously I'M
fair apportionment and upon losing the
popular vote of his State.
