TREASURY PLUNDERERs.- The Heralds WASH
ington correspondent says that a general activi-
ty is noticeable among the lobbyists who be-
lieve that the short and closing session will be
favorable time to press plumber schemes.
Among other measures is one for the construc-
ton of twelve iron sloops of war at private
yards, and also propositions to construct mail
steamships to be used as war cruisers, &c. if
needed. Attempts to revive these schemes are
already manifesting themselves They have a
strong lobby behind them. Another one will
be that IN favor OF ocean mail subsidies, among
which the notorious Mediterranean and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company will put in an early
appearance: This scheme has identified itself
as co-Worker with the interests now organic
ing for subsidies in favor of several important
canal projects. Southern business interests are
gong to make vigorous appeals for aid towards
constructing the James and Kanawha Canal
and the one proposed in Georgia, by which the
tennessee is to be connected with the Atlantic.
There are several minor schemes in the South
which propose to open and make available in
terror navigabe waters. There will be q strong
demand made in this direction but there will
be opposition equally as vigorous against grant
ing to private corporations subsidies of land or
credit for such purposes. There is, without
doubt, strong current setting, especially West
and South, in favor of the general government
dolrg something comprehensive to unite by ar
tliicIal channels the navigabe waters of the
Ohio and Mississippi and Gulf systems. But
it is shaping itself towards having the work
needed done by and for the government, and to
be made, as the military roads were virtually
Tree to all the people. There will be number
OF land grant extensions asked, and one or two
bills pending which, if passed, will transfer
valuable tracts in doubtful way to Western
railroads. The one referred to was the bill pre-
tending to quiet titles in Northern Iowa, but
which really would have put the homes of q
large number of settlers at the will of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad Company. This
measure was and will be lobbied again by
lawyer who has succeeded also In forming
strong railroad combination, to sustain cases
he has in charge by which demand is made
by some thirty railroads for additional compen-
sation beyond that allowed by the Quarternas-
ter General for the carrying of troops, NUM-
tons and supplies. Another project which is
being kept sub-rosa is to secure the lease of
certain valuable fur seal islands in the South
Pacific, the use of which we claim by priority
of discovery.

IT is said that Gen. Banks and Gov. Blair
now at the head of important House Com
mittees will resign their positions. Nothing
has been heard from Gen. Farnsworth, but it
is presumed that all these gentlemen having
Joined the Democracy, will not retain impor-
tant charmanships. 1t is intimated that if
these gentlemen have not the serse to do that
the House will take action. 1t is particular
ly important that Gen. Banks should retire
from the Craftsmanship of the Foreign Com
mittee as the member holding that position is
always called to consult with the Secretary of
State and it is very important that he should
be in political sympathy with the administra-
ton. Indeed in the past one or two instances
where majority Of the second house was in
opposition to the administration, the Chair
man of the Foreign Committee has been ap-
pointed from the minority through courtesy
to the admin istration.
