From Washington.

A
WASHINGTON. Jan. IA caucus OF
Democratic Senators was held yester-
day, on the Presidents recommendation
in reference to Cuba. A debate of three
or four hours ensuod, involving tho
question of, whether any steps should
be taken in relation TO il, and if so,
what character according TO the best at
tainable authority. Mr.. Mason, made
the opening speech, and was followed
by Hunter and Shields, though favor
able 10 acqusitise-t&ey-thought action
at this time impolitic and calculated to
impair rather than improve our pros
poets to that end. Mr.. Douglas regard.
ed the appearances as gloomy, but would
support Shields bill, placing in the
hands Of the President, $50, 100000 to
be used in negotiation; he expressed
the belief that the President would not
indonsc the measure without sufficient
date to justify him in so doing Mr..
Douglas had l. ng desired the acquisition
OF Cuba. In his judgement there was
but one mode, and that was on the hap
pcning of another case, similar to that
of the Black Warrior, to seize the lis
land by way of reclamation, and nego-
tiate afterwards.
Mr.. Davis, and others, did notlke the
suggestions Of Mr.. Douglas.
The discussion n this stage became
intensity interesting, the best ability Of
the participants therein being put forth.
Mr.. Slidell, of Connecticut, advocated
his own bill.
Messrs. Davis, Toombs, Gwinn, Ri g.
ler and Clay, favored the idea of increas-
ing TO sufficient extent the Foreie in
intercourse fund; leaving the matter at
the discretion of the President, as in
previous cases.
Mr.. Iverson thought that Spain could
be wsaried with the question of Cuba,
by the repeal Of such parts of our own

Some may think that Abraham Lin.
colin, our late candidate for u. 8. Sena-
tor against Douglas feels greatly disap.
pointed and grieved because of his dc.
feat. On the contrary, we assure both
his supporters and opponents that no
man ever took defeat more phllosophi.
cally or good naturally.
A gentleman who was at Springfield
last week, tells us that on the day OF
the election of Douglas by tho Legsla-
ture, number Of "old Abe's" friends
called on him, and one Of them remark.
cd: "Wcll, Abe, ] suppose you are not
going to cry over split milk, are
your"

County Printing.

We have taken some time and space
70 search out and expose to the public
eye within the last six months, the wan.
TON extravaganza of the County Com.
missioners, under the.eye and sanction
of the black Democracy, as represented
BY its Court House Clique. This OK.
travagance was shown 10 exist in wan.
Ton and useless public expenditures on
tho Court House, Jail, County Asylum
and Cut-stone and iron.fenco enclosinp
the public or Court House square, &c.
sc. To these numerous and we'll al.
sthsnticated charges our nsighbor of the

and could not volunteer an explanation
The charges were true. and like other
matters Of NAL or misfeasence in Office
under tho dictation of tho clique must
not be subject to enquiry or investi.
CATION.
- At last however, our Rip Van Win.
kIe neighbor has been aroused from his
quiet ropose by startling correspon-
dent whose style and statement are fair
limitations Of his own editorials, by the
important announcement that we had
charged five dollars moro for Job OF
work done for the county than our
neighbor had for similar services, 10
which we properly responded, and the
last number ofhis paper iavors us with
rejoindor. 1t is surprising that tho
sum OF $500 in the matter of printing
should so arouse and startle our neigh.
Dor when thousands wantonly squan.
dered on time serving partizans could
not elicit q comment: In his rejoinder
our neighbor says: "Thc allusion that
we knew what Mr.. Fosters bill was be.
fore we presented ours is simply not so. y
If 90 Mr.. Bently how could You have
informed one of the Commissioners
that we should not have charged for the
fraction of q square, before its allow
ance? We have before stated and re-
peat it, that our charges were made in
accordance with our bill Of prices and
challenge denial of their correctness.
We have never intimated that the pri-
ces charged by our neighbor wero ex-
horbitant or incorrect, but simply urg-
cd the propriety of the Commissioners

done moro 10 arouse public attention
20 the true issues before tho country
and expose tho shallow hearted hypoc,
racy Of "squatter sovereignty" than all

summer In Illinois. Single handed. he
met and demolished the boosted cham.
pion Of 'squattcr sovereignty" and cv.
erywhcrc carried in triumph tho prin.
'eiples Of the Union rs inauguratcd by the
Fathers. In no speeches have we met
with so much ability, cIoarness, brovity
and|on every occasion where he met Mr.
Douglas his gentIemanly deportmen,
overshadowed the "little Giant" so trans.
ccndcntly that IL became provcrbial tina,
II long Abe would but condcscend 10
handy epitchts with Douglas, the latter
would be mo where" with tho masses,
We say hc fought the campaign Of Iii
noissinglc handed against a host of the
friends and expcttants Of Senator Dong
las, and beat the latter Horse, foot and
Drugoon, before tho people. While
Douglas, his friends and an ungene
rous opposition press gsye to tho lattol
q triumph, the facts bear ms out tha'
Lincoln and the opposition triumphet
In every expression of popular scnti
ment. While Douglas triumph was
bare success by means Of fraudulcn
gsrimandoring oftho State for legislativ,
purpose. Lincolns triumph, was tina
OF an outspoken honest expression o
preference In behalf OF the popular
voice of tho whole State.
With Mclean and Lincoln we pre-
sent standard bearers, that the grea
