PEACE EMBASSIES.

Mr. VIM. Cornell Jewett of Colorado has re.
turned from Europe in the Norwegian, and
opened rather interesting budget Of volunteer
diplomacy. II now seems that the object OF
his unaccr,dited mission to the Old World was
the awakening there of an interest in favor OF
friendly mediation by the Great Powers In our
domestic troubles with view not to Disun.
ion Peace but to a reconstruction" on b.
sis of mutual forbearance and good will. Mr..
J. seems to have repented Of his hasty resolve
to denationalize himself, but is persistently hos
tile to the Presidents Proclamation OF Free
dom. He reports very general good will in
Western Europe toward q restoration OF tho
Union, insisting that even Napoleon III. desire'
this, and not the triumph of Secession. lie
claims that the Emperors demonstration OF
October 10Th last, has been greatly misappre-
hended in the loyal States-whicb, we must
say, argues iniecity as a dispatch-writer on
the part OF NJ. DrOuyn do Lhuys. Mr.. Jew.
etts motives appear to have been good, bis in.
dustry immense and his success as an unrecog-
nized diplomatist fairly on par with that Of
his illustrious predecessors, with the decided
recommendation that he pays his own bills.

MONSIEUR TONsON AGAIN.!

! In 1856, Congress, at the instance OF Messrs
Butler and Orr of S. c., saw fit to increase
IFS own compensation at one jump from S
per day to $4,000 per aonum-iully fifty pei
cent. As the only consolation for this, 1t was
stipulated by the same act that each Member
should receive Mileage Cor travelling fees) ioI
two journeys to Washington and back to hi'
heme for each Congress, and no more though
he should be required to attend half dozen
extra sessions And the reason for this is very
obvious-when Members are paid for oil their
term, it is most unjus. that they should be
paid Mileage for gsng home and returning
again meantime for their own convenience. IN
fact, Members, while paid $1,000 per annum,
should have Mileage for coming to tie hrss
session and returning from the last, and no
more. Their going home internedlately IS en-
tirely their own affair.
The act of Is5G distinctly specified that the
fret Mileage should he paid at the opening OF
Ike fret regular session, tie second at the
opening of ,te second 7tgaiqr sssaion.
Nothing could DO palmer than THE. But the
next year an amendment or addenda was qui-
