Faction IN THE APPOINTMENT OF COMPRESSION.
AL CoMMrTTEEs.-The Speaker of the House of
Representatives is now arranging the Commit
tees in Congress, Of which the Committee of
Ways and Means and the Committee on Com
merce are the most important, certainly those
in which the country has the greatest interest.
The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means in the last Congress was CLANCY Jones,
who was fair sort of man. For this post,
Sherman, the defeated candidate for the Speak
ership, is spoken of; but he has no claim to such
q position, unless that he endorsed HELPERS
book, and he is entirely unfit for the discharge
of the duties OF Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means. Equally unsuitable is the
gentleman who is talked of for Chairman of
the Committee on Commerce-Mr. Washburne,
of nlinois-who knows more of log cabins and
prairie chickens than Of ships and commercial
relations. Such is the way in which faction
prevents the business of Congress from being
properly conducted, appointing men to posi-
tons for which they are unfit, and excluding
men who are eminently suitable. For in.
stance, Mr.. John Cochrane, who flied the
Office in the last Congress, would be the right
man for the same post now. He discharged
the duties before with great ability He halls
from the commercial metropolis Of the Union,
was Surveyor of the Port, is acquainted with
merchants and merchandise, and is completely
conversant with commercial subjects. Why
not appoint him, instead of some ignoramus
from Che Western country, who knows as much
about commerce s he does about Chinese!

INDICTMENTS FOR CORPORATION FRAUDs-For
a couple of years past the attention of certain
investigating committees has been devoted to
the development of frauds in the Corporation,
the result Of which has been in many cases the
establishment of very grave charges Of cor
ruption and fraud against sundry subor dinate
officials, contractors, surveyors, and so forth.
We should like to know what has been done
with these charges. In two or three cases in
dictments were found by the Grand Juries
against the parties. Where are they? Has the
potency of political intrigue overshadowed the
majesty of the law? Has the scheming of the
low and vile governing class been able to ar
rest the course ofjustices The District Attor-
ney ought to be able to tell us whether these
indictments are to be acted upon, as well as
those found against thieves and burglars in
unofficial life, or whether they have been
suppressed by some hocus-pocus arrangement.
The people, who have been feeced at the rate
of millions of dollars for the last eight or ten
years by this class of criminals, have right to
know what course has been or may be pursued
with regard to these indicted individuals, and
we now call upon the District Attorney for in
formation.

The TREATY WITH MEXICO BEFORE THE
SENATE.-The new treaty with Mexico still
hangs fire in the Senate, and Mr.. McLane, our
Minister to that republic, has been called to
Washington, where he is momentarily expected
to arrive What is the object Of his coming has
not been explained; but We can hardly suppose
that the Senate can require any explanations
regarding the grave and important interests
that hang upon their action in this matter. Our
commercial intercourse with the eight or ten
millions of consumers of cotton fabrics, utensils
of iron, stone al eather, and the mechanical
appliances Of steam power, has been reduced
almost to CIPHER by the neglect of those de-
fences which this treaty provides for it; and at
the same time the routes to the gold and silver
regions of our territory on the Gila and south of
it, remain closed, for all the practical purposes
of emigration and trade, until the port on
the Gulf of California, which the treaty grants
to us, shall be opened. These interests are of
immediate and practical importance, and the
ratification of the treaty will give an early and
great impulse to our commerce with the
Pacific shore. The Interior advantages of
protection to our transit communication be-
tween the two oceans, and the political advan-
tages which the treaty secures to US, are too
evident to need comment.
1t is hardly possible to conceive that there
should be any doubt as to the propriety Of rati-
tying the treaty because of supposed inability
of the liberal government of Mexico to carry
out its stipulations. The contest that has been
going on there for two years, if rightly consi-
dered, removes any such doubt. A military
and clerical revolution, that absorbed the
whole army and clergy, has not been able to
reduce more than one-fourth of the republic to
its rule, and is to-day far weaker than it has
been at any previous moment 1t is true that
the great exertions and sacrifices that have
been made render it difficult for the constitu-
tional government to exhibit great aggressive
energy; but the same cause deprives the priest
ly revoluionists Of any strength they might be
supposed to possess. The Jusrez government
is stronger to-day, through the decay of its an
tagonists, than it has been at any previous time
Let the treaty be ratified, and the commerce
which will revivify Mexico begin under the
shield Of its stipulations.

holders from Mississippi to Aalden?" How for
tunate for the Shareholders that the power and
courage of Giddings are not equal to his will!
He added that he declared in Congress that
che wished every slave upon earth could listen
to him, for if that were the case, and his mind
could be obeyed, yonder sun should 60 down
upon q world liberated" No doubt if he had
only access to the slaves of the South this day,
and could escape himself with o whole skin, he
would advise them to measure more general
and more iendish than that of St. Domingo, and
to-morrow's sun would set in an ocean of
blood.
What would be the use in throwing pearls
before swine in arguing with man
who dignifes his trash with the name
of "a Lyceum lecture" but avows
that he would nullify the Fugitive Slave
law, and if slave escaped into Ohio, he would
regard him as free and not surrender him,
though he swore in Congress to uphold the
constitution. which commands the rendition of
the fugitive? On the contrary, he would look
on with appreciation and delight If the slave
should "stand up in his own humanity and
strike death blow to his oppressor"-that is, a
death blow to his master seeking to reclaim
him.
From man capable Of such revolving sensi-
ments a. these, the reader will not be surprised
