FIGHT IN CONGRESS ABOUT THE PRrxr,vo
SPoILs-The spoils of the printing of the House
OF Representatives is the only remaining bone
OF contention to be disposed of for the present.
and we may expect fierce fight of the politi.
cal dogs Of the two republican factions In Con.
gress when the House meets again. Great ex-
element prevails at Washington on the sub
ject The first caucus had it all arranged for
MITCHELL of st. Louis, Missouri; but second
caucus has it fixed for Defrees, Of Indiana.
Nevertheless, it is not yet finally determined,
and there will be hand to hand fight in the
House.
Mitchell is the candidate of Blair, Of Silver
Springs, who, though he appears to be retired
from public life, is an old politician who still
pulls the strings, and he has an interest in the
printing establishment of Rives, of the Washing
ton Globe His candidate for the Presidency in
1856 was Fremont, who was defeated by the in
trigues Of Weed in Pennsylvania. His present
candidate for the Presidency is Bates, of Mis-
souri,, whom he can control as easily as the
Snowman directs the movements Of Punch and
Judy. Defrees, of Indiana, on the other hand
is the candidate of Thurlow Weed, who has an
interest with Wendell, and, of course, wants the
Job for him. Seward is the candidate Of Weed
for the Presidency, and that gives the contest
for the plumber political complexion, involv-
ing faction fight. The slate of Blair and Bates
has been broken for the present, and the slate
of Seward and Weed has been substituted, but
the contest is not yet ended. How it will end
is still doubtful, and leads to much speculation
in Washington.
Our correspondent accuses the Weed and
Wendell party Of bribery and corruption in
getting the programme changed; but they are
no more guilty Of bribery than the other fac
ton. They are both guilty alike, and neither
is worse than the two democratic factions in
the last Congress, who played the same game.
They are all corrupt, and none of them have
any scruples about bribery whenever it serves
their turn.
In the case of the Speakership, with the aid
of Forney and his little clique, Weed was van
quished, for Sherman was his man, and also the
candidate of Seward, while Pennington is the
successful nominee of Blair and Bates. The
contest between the rival factions in the House
is now extended to the printing spoils If
Mitchell gets the fat job, Rives gets the work,
and the Bates Presidential stock goes up. If
Defrees should be the lucky man, then Wendell
gets the work, and the Seward stock goes up in
the market, the higher law is raised peg
higher, and the irrepressible conflict will spec
Oily come to a crisis. We shall watch this fac
f;on fuhf with enma intaract TT Ia tho rrot;r,;
nary skirmish before the great battle at Chicago.

PoIITIcAL DEATH AND BURIAL OF CONGRESS
sIoSIAL DEMAGoGUE.-In another column we re-
print two articles about Mr.. Ashmore, of the
House of Representatives, published by the
Charleston Mercury, the we'll known leading or
gan Of South Carolina, his own State. This is
the same individual who took up the cause of
Pryor, the representative Of Virginia chivalry,
when We characterized him as he deserved, and
stated that he was silent in the debate. Ash

expulsion of our reporters from the House,

his courage was equally remarkable, for he

against this sudden burial Of Ashmore six feet

for six months, in order that he may have an
opportunity of setting himself right with the
country, and that we may sec whether there is
anything in him. The interment is premature,
for we have not yet settled our account with
the demagogue.
Meantime, we may observe that the extracts
from our contemporary show the calibre of the
men in Congress who set themselves up in op-
position to the New York HERALD. They are
repudiated in their own States, and the course

The New Commercial Policy I'm France
Its Probable Effect ON Trade.

In the news from Europe by the City of
Washington, it is stated that the manufacturing
interests of France had presented strong me-
mortal to the Emperor against the new COM
mercial policy he had inaugurated, declaring
that it was nothing less than "an economical
and social revolution" which should be resist
ed by every possible means.
This is very similar language to that used by
the English protected interests when Sir Robert
Peel sacrificed the cherished convictions Of
years, the Affiliations of party, and almost his
tenure Of power, to the evidences of reason
and of truth. The direst prophecies of ruin
we're poured forth; but time has proved their
fallacy, and that the fiscal system then adopted
by England is the most advantageous for the
State and for the people, including even the
protected classes. Louis Napoleon has taken
care to secure his new policy by COM
mercial treaty with England, which has already
been signed, although its stipulations as regards
France will not go into effect until the year
1861. The initiation of France, and through
France probably of all Europe, on career of
free trade, is thus secured and we may prog
nosticatc the greatest benefits to accrue there
from to all the realms of commerce.
As the fiscal system Of every nation is but
little more than the plan Of raising taxes, which
are paid by its own people, it is upon its own
industry and wealth that the greatest effects of
relaxations are produced. The industry and
commerce of England have exhibited won.
derful augmentation since she threw off the old
trammels Of protection to manufactures and
agriculture, but the trade Of other nations has
participated in this improvement. This is evil
dent from the increase of our own trade with
the United Kingdom. The following table ex-
hibits the statistics of that commerce for pc
Rod of fifteen years, as given by the reports of
the Secretary Of the Treasury on commerce
and navigation. We have divided them into
three periods of five years each, during which
three great general causes operated on trade
These were the new financial policy of Eng
land, the influx Of gold from California, aud
the wars carried on by England and France in
the Crimea and in Italy. The following table

Increase OF tobacco trade IN 10 years, 81 per cent
The contrast Of fiscal systems in their effect
upon commerce could not be more strongly
presented than in these tables. We see that as
regards the two countries, the one pursuing the
liberal policy advanced by far the most ra-
pidly, and in respect to the articles of trade,
the freest exhibits steady aud sound growth,
while the most taxed presents the auomiiy of
very slight movement, with the exception Of
the last period in France. This exception was
caused by the great demand for tobacco by the
French government for its troops in tine Of
war.
Wien we contemplate the fact that this in
crease of trade with England has been effected
in the face ola continually growing competi
ton on our part in the production of the chief
articles of importation, the increase of com
merce is the more striking. With France, with
whom we have little or no competition ia in
dustry, the growth Of commerce has been slow
and small. Under the new system it will open
to new life, and, indeed, we cannot but be-
lieve that we shall experience far more benefit
from the change in the French policy than will
England. The taste of the French in the pro-
duction of textile fabrics must open to her
manufactures here a large market, which will
be still further increased by the liking Of our
citizens for French calicoes and silks, French
wines, and French articles of luxury We
ought soon to exchange with the thirty-six
millions OF Frenchmen as much as we do
with the thirty millions of British subjects, aud
we doubt not that when the new commercial
treaty shall have been completed, our CON-
merce with France will exhibit an increase far
beyond anything that has been witnessed with
any other country. q

Russell Houston's speech Last Night.
One of the moet argumentetive speeches
delivered here during the canvass, was heard,
last night. by large crowd, from the lips
of one of the ablest and purest men of our
State.
Mr.. Houston is no politician, as he states
in the outset; but he discussed the political
questions of the day in a most signal and lu-
cid manner.
His remarks were principally confined to
the question of Congressional protection to
slavery in the Territories; and be showed the
inconsistency of the Breckinridge party on
this subject, in manner that convinced all.
He showed that Andy johnson was voted for
upwards of fifty times at Charleston by the
Tennessee democracy upon the Cincinnati
platform, and asks what would johnson aud
his party have done in this state. had he been
nominated at Charleston, instead of Douglas
at BALTIMORE If nominated at all, it must
have been on the Cincinnati platform, for he
was baQoled for on that platform. Democracy
would then have been in ga fix" with pro
lection candidate on the Cincinnati platform.
which denies protection; and another protec.
ton candidate on q protection platform. The
whole speech was replete with cogent reason
ing, such as we wish every man in the State
could have heard.-Mem. Eng.
