General Webb in BraziI-His COntr0.
yersy with Admiral Davis.


From, the N. p. Times.
We have recently published in the
Times q very interesting official CORES
pondenoe between General J. Watson Webb,
our Minister in Brazil, and Admiral Davis, in
command of our squadron on that coast. 1t
seems that, in its official publication under
direction OF the State Department, this cor
respondence has been very materially emas-
culated--the Secretary not deeming himself
authorized, under the call of the Senate, to
publish so severe an arraignment of this action
of the Navy Department as is contained in the
letters of General Webb.
1t will be seen that General Webb deals
with the whole question: and with all the par
ties involved, with characteristic frankness
independence and impetuosity. Where he has
instructions he follows the line of conduct
which they mark out, with vigor and fidelity
especially il they seem to him adequate to
the emergency; where he has none he acts all
the same-never hesitating 90 take the re-
sponsibility" upon himself.
The whole difficulty, as the public pretty
well understands, grew out of tue refusal OF
the Comm apdsr-in Chief of tue Allied armies,
and or tie Brazilian forces, to permit an
Amer lean war vessel first to pass the blockade
and convey cur Minister, Mr.. WashbuTn, to
his destination, the capital Of Paraguay, and
next to bring him away after his position h I'd
become dangerous. General Webb demanded
reversal OI this decision, the censure by the
Government OF the Secretary VINO made it,
and such general rrdress the insult to our
flag SEE med TO require.
Failing TO secure either Of these demands,
! the General made the peremptOry demand,
| either ior permission Tor the Wasp to go
through the block ding lines, or TOR his pass
! ports. Admiral Davis. WHO seems to have
! taken different view bl,h OF tho Minister 5
| duty aud OF bi5 own, demonstrated very
| strongly against the demands made by Gene
raj Webb, which, instead ri inducing him to
waive them, or modify them in any respect,
only had the ELECT OF drawing the Minister
attention 70 the Animals dereiclion OF duty,
and to bring down upon himself very
sharp and prOtracted correspondence.
1t is camtd, on General Webbs bshalf
that his prompt aud vigorous inteTposition
actually saved the lives OF Mr.. Washburn and
his family y while in doing this he had to con
tend, not only with the Brazilau Government
ard the chiefs Of the allied toroes, but with
the inactivity and incompetenoy of Admira
Davis, Of our own squadron. II will not be
denied or doubted that he acted with degree
of promptness and vgor, and with para
mount regard for the honor OF his country
and the safety of his countrymen, quit
characteristic OF his whole career, both a
home and abroad.

Congress Nothing but A Caucus.

FfOnl "Brick" Pomeroys ~ Y Democrat
Under the despotic rule of the radical ma
jOrity of Congress, legislation has become
nothing but the partisan action Of political
caucus. Everything is decided upon in a
caucus of radical members, and then is put
through under the spur of the previous ques-
tion," cutting off all debate, almost choking
down all thought about matters of the most
vital importance to the present and future
we'll being Of our country.
The Irtbune's Washington correspondent
OF Tuesday says:-"A caucus of the Senate
will be held tomorrow morning, for the pur-
pose of considering the relative importance OF
the various measures before Congress, ana de-
termining the course of action thereon
Hear that, people OF America All the action
OF Congress is Determined" in purely par.
iisan caucus. There is no act of your National
Legislature that deserves any higher respect
than the edict of caucus. So far as the dig
nifty and justice Of legislation are concerned,
this caucus might Just as we'll be held in the
"Loyal League" pest-hole in this city, and its
daily action proclaimed TO the public in the
columns of the Tribune, as to go through the
expensive farce OF doing the business at the
Capitol in Washington. The entire legislation
at the Federal capital is controlled by some
lHeep or twenty radical leaders, They CON

ooot all and shape all, while the rest OF the
radical members stupidity acquiesce In their
work, and then the whole is rushed through
the abominable farce Of Congress by the om-
ntpotent previous question. Now we say these
fifteen or twenty leaders might Just as well
meet in some congenial whisky hole for 'de-
termiuing" what shall be law, and then pro-
claim the same through the radical press,
thereby saving the people all the useless ex-
pense of Congress. And this course would
also save the Democratic members from the
humiliation of belonging to so.called legis-
lative body, in which they have really no more
influence or recognized right than they have
in the negro Assembly of Hayti.
For example, there sre a great number of
vacant offices, both at home aud abroad, and
President Johnson, with a proper regard for
the public welfare, has sent to the Senate
names to fill them. Forthwith the radical
leaders call their caucus and in secret session
determine not to act upon single case, there
by leaving this great number OF offices still
vacant until Grant has chance to supply
them from the great batch of thieves who
are waiting without to be let into the public
crib.
Recently President Johnson nominated two
OF the best officers in the whole army to be
advanced to the post of brigadier-generals in
the regular army. The radical caucus was
called to determine" upon these cases, and
it was decided that they should not be con-
flrmed, for the simple and sole reason that
they are gentlemen OF too much responsibility
and too much honor to be relied upon to do
whatever infamous and dirty business the
caucus may please to demand of them.
So gradually both the civil and the military
service are being weeded of all efficiency and
all responsibility, and their place filed with
the disreputsbe tools of the caucus.
Our Government is caucus, particularly

b1om the ". Y. Tribune.

E1ODl The ". T. Tribune.
The investigation of the Alaska purchase
seems to have nearly reached bottom at last,
and a very pretty little affair it is when we
get at the truth. Our readers will remember
that Captain r. j. Hinton wrote from Wash
ipgton to the Worcester Spy q story that over
81 coo, 600 of the price paid for Alaska had
been distributed among newspaper editors,
corr respondents, lobbyists, and other persons,
for the purpose of promoting the sale, and a
list was given of the principal newspapers
sad to have been bTibed. committee of
Congress has been about six weeks looking
into these charges. One journalist after
another was called and examined. None of
them had received any bribe or been offered
any, but several had ''heard" that money
had been used. There was rumOr of a
man named Noah who had said that
Mr.. Robert J. Walker, the Cars counsel, ~
paid him $4,000 for services as a newspaper
correspondent but Noah, being found,
protested that he never had got cent
and never had spoken to Mr.. Walker in his
life. The man named Hinton was called, and
confessed that he had no knowledge of the
truth of the statements he had been the first
to publish, and got all his information from a
man named Martin, who professed to have a
list of the persons bribed by the Russian Gov
eminent. The man named Martin was exa-
mined, and knew nothing at all about the case.
Tasistro The man named Tasistro was
equally ignorant, but thought Mr.. Seward and
General Banks, at all events, must have been
bribed, because they were both 'fush' Of
money about that time; and if they did not
get it from Baron StOeckl, where the mischief
did they get ii SO the story of the Russian
bribery seems to amount to this--that General
Banks has bought land and Mr.. Seward has
paid off mortgage. Really We think the
farce has gone far enough.
Several interesting facts, however, have
been developed in the course of this otherwise
barren investigation. There was the high
principle of Mr.. Robert J. Walker, who would
not touch $26,0 fee for lobbying the pur-
chase through Congress, unless it came in the
shape OF a regular 'eounsel's fee." There was
the uneXampled kindness of the Washington
Chronicle and National Inteliigencer, which
gave up their space to Mr.. Walkers articles
| on Alaska. There was the gratitude of Mr..
Walker, who hinted that one or both Of them
ought to receive some pecuniary recompense
for the damage they must thereby have suf-
fered There was the delicacy of the editor of
the Chronicle, who waived his claim to the
$4,000 offered in obedience to this suggestion
in favor of the publisher. There was the
promptness OF Mr.. D. G. Forney, who didn't
waive his claim at all, but took the money,
and we hope has made good use of it. And
finally, the investigation has shown us how a
certain class of journalists manufacture
Washington news, and with what extreme
caution it is necessary to read the Worcester
Spy. Upon the whole, the information may
be worth the trouble it has cost to get it.

A correspondent Of the White Pine
News says the route surveyed from Carhn to
White Pine, which it was believed would
prove shorter than the Elko road, turns out
to be 141 miles in length, over some almost
insurmountable hills, while that from Elko
by what ia known as the Glllsen route is
only los miles and the road comparatively
level. A later issue of the News says the
construction of a road TO Carlin has been
abandoned, and that Elko will probably be
the town after all that has been said Of the
proximity of Carln to White Pine. An
Elko correspondent says the alkali flats sur
rounding Carlin were by the magic eloquence
OF Captain Palmer, at a public meeting,
changed into fruitful soil, Carlin was brought
fourteen miles nearer to White Pine than
Elko by the same influence, but that before
the truthful and mathematical accuracy of
the surveyors chain the Captains facts all
resolved themselves into fiction, and the
country remains as Nature made it,
