WASHINGTON, April /, 1860.
THE TREATY WITH MEMORANDA.
The treaty with New-Granads having beer raj.
fed, Commission will be appointed Immediately
to adjudicate the claims arising out of the Panama
riot in 1856, which were supposed to be greatly or
aggersted in some Of the official reports prepared
for the Department of State. This ratification re-
leyes an apprehended difficulty with that Govern
ment
THE PRESIDENTS PROTEST.
It is considered somewhat remarkable that tbs
President never protested against the scope of the
investigation by the House until hs read the testi-
mony given before Messrs. Haskin's and Coyode's
Con mittees. All the evidence thus far which, in
any way, duplicates him with privy to the use Of
noney in elections and the distribution Of patron
age with that object, was reluctantly extorsed
from his own political friends, ADD from persons
who enjoyed his confidence and intimacy. Some Of
them have openly boosted of not telling half they
knew, and others testified with mental reservations.
The charges made By tho Administration organs,
that Mr.. Covode's Committee were investigating
without specific aim, are false Thus far they have
addressed themselves exclusively to the allegations
contained in the Presidents Pittsburgh letter, aud
find them fully sustained by the conceptions of his
own Administration. Anonymous letters have
been addressed to Mr. Covode threatening him aa1
Mr. Sherman with assassination, unless they desist
FROM these inquiries.
THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Mr.. Hatch's report upon the practical operation
of the Reciprocity treaty with Canada demonstrates
conclusively that it works to the serious injury Of
our agricultural and other interests. Tariff. have
been established since it was made, in cOntravsn-
ton of its spirit, which, iu lis opinion justify liz
immediate abroga'iop. Buffalo, Rochester, o.
wego, and other towns, have suheied from tho
withdrawal of trade. The treaty viii expire in
1864, upon two years notice, unles, abrogated
before.
THE RIO GRANDE AFFAIR,
The troops which recently crossed the Rio Grande
in pursuit of Cortins had no orders at that ti@c.
though the War Department had issued instrre-
tions TO the same effect, which were on the W. :,
when the officers on the spot assumed the respe1
sibilty They, like those at Vera Cruz seemed .
understand the wishes of the Administration.
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FRAUDS
Mr.. Kings committee will probably close their
investigation on Tuesday, unless Mr.. Slideu should
desire to introduce more irrelevant natter for ths
purpose of Withdrawing attention from the main
fac's.

of the Presidents Message by circulating large
edition in Com ecticut and Rhode Island.
MARSHAL OF INDIANA.

of the -Nebraska.bill notoriety, as Marsh

leading Democrats of that State, who remoH
strated against il. The President gave in recogu
ton Of his services on Lecomptea at tho last Ses'
sion. Messrs. Bright and Fitch were both exer
