that at present Congress confines itself to d

We mentioned statement that a respon-
siole party had made that he had to pay $500
to Democratic chairman of committee in
Congress before he could get report on his
claim. The House appointed a committee to
investigate the charge. The Congressman
was Soaring, of New York. On reference to
the Washington news of this morning, it will
beseen that the charge was sworn to before the
committee! The ramifcations of Democratic
corruption are indeed amazing. They meet
the eye in every direction. They reach
through every department of the public SER

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
/ The Presidents senility was practiced upon
with great success by new operator to -day.
The latter, envious of his colleagues (Mr.
! Slidell) success in procuring the Presdent's
endorsement Of his wild Cuba thirty. million
bribery and corruption scheme, brought out
from the Executive mansion to- day an appeal
to Congress to hurry through the passage OF
his (Benjamin's) bill, giving the President
power to make war upon Mexico, the Gen.
! trail American and South American States at
| his discretion.
| Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Fessenden, on the Re-
publican side, exposed and denounced the
measure as unconstitutional. Mr.. Slidell
and Mr.. Benjamin finding that the two Pres
idential measures embarrassed each other,
and were like to prove mutually destructive
like the Kilkenny cats, contended each for
precedence Of his scheme over that Of the
other. MIR. Benjamin, in his anxiety to res
cue the President, came upon the keen lance
of Mr.. Fessenden, and was hayed. Mr.. Doug
las went the whole animal for compliance
with the Presidents recommendation, which,
however, he insisted must be extended, 90 as
to enable the President to make war upon
all States, both great and small, at all times,
and under all circumstances. Jefferson Da-
Wis went over TO the side of Seward and Fes-
sender against Buchanan and Douglas to the
rescue of the Constitution.
| Mr.. Slidell appealed for unanimous con-
sent to keep q resolution alive which he had
offered yesterday for proposing night Sea-
sions next week to secure the passage Of the
Cuba bill. Mr.. Mason objected, and refused
the consent Mr.. Slidell appealed to Mr.. Ma
son to listen to reason. Mr.. Mason refused
to listen to anything, and called Mr.. slidel
to order.
| Mr.. Collamcr got the floor on the Pres-
dents last exhibition Of imbecility, and the
Senate adjourned. All is confusion in the
ranks OF the Democracy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-Mr. Wade made
an Intellectual effort to get up the Homestead
bill in the Senate yesterday, "a Senators vo-
ting for it and 81 against it. Mr.. Mason
wanted to call up the bill alluded to in the
Presidents Special Message, giving him ex
traordinary war-making power. Mr.. Toombs
snubbed the President, remarking that Con-
gress knew how to discharge its duties ,-and
intended to discharge them without the Pres.
ident's urging the work upon them. The
Senate disagreed to Mr.. Mason's motion
