Gonoral Babcock in- quired of tho Proaident, and tho lattor sald that of courseho had noobjoctions tomake. What Gon- oral Babcook telegraphod in reply 15 not known. It is tho opinion of leading Republican Bonatora friondly to the 8anto Domingo annoxa- tion soheme- that this movemont will result in tho way of protecting Amorican oitizens in an offlcial protectorate over the island of San Do- mingo, and finally in its sonexation. This rich company going thero will soon control * tho in- terosts of the islaud, and it will not bo long be- foro thoy will appenl for protoction, eithor from foreigh Govornments or-from tho Haytien or Dominican Governments, Tho United Btatos Governmont must thus protoct ita citizons, and from a protectorato to anncxation is but a short stop. - THE BPANISIL QUESTION, whichis just now nttracting such goneral at- tontion, bas not thus arbeen the subject of con- sideration in the Cabinot,” Thore is, howevor, agrawing anxioty on tho part of tho Prosidont and his official advisers to have Spain make soveral concossions to Cuba in ordor to offect a ceagation of tho warliko troublos which have existed there for 60 many years, snd to this ond correapon dence of an important charace ter, in addition to that alroady publishod, hes " been golng on betwéen the Spanish Government and our own, .This corrospondonce thus far has beon slmost wholly withoat result, ana tho Government promises nothing for the futuro, THE OREDIT MODILIER INVESTIGATION. Hon. Larson F. Porry, tho attornoy for.the Government bofore the Credit Mobilier Commit-- too No. 3, has got fairly atarted in the invostiga- tion, and has snown an earnest desiro to sid tho Committes in an honost and secarching inquiry into the facts of the extravsgant uss of monoy to tho dotriment of the Governmont Interest in the Union Pacific Railway. It hias beon thought by tho Attorney General that it is cssential to have the othor attornoy provided for by Ran- dall's rosolution, a resident of Washington, in order that he may have convoniont nocess to the depart ments_and tho Governmont records at all times, and without the delay and oxponsos of journoey to the capital. Ho will theroforo to- marrow offer the appointment to J. Hubloy Ash- ton, s prominent lawyor in this city, who wns the Assistant Attorney General undor Prosidont Johnson. THE OALDWELL INVESTIGATION will probably closo this weel, but it is not likel; a roport from the Committeo will bo submitto to the Benato until the following woek. The examination on bohalf of the accusod will begin to-morrow. ~ About twenty-five witnestes have . beon . summoned, ~eight or ten of whom aro alroady hore, but it is not thought the sxamination will be along one. Mr. Cald- rell will probably bogin® his defence on Lia own behalf on Wednoeadsy. LOUISIANA. The Committeo during the week will begin the investigation into the Loulsiana question. ‘There bave been alroady summoned the mombers. of both Canvassing Boards, tho bwo_Becrotaries of Btate, Govornors Warmoth and MoEnery, and promincnt men in all positions. Thoy will ar- rivo oarly in tho woelr, 'Tho quostion s to_the Electors must bo soltled beforo the 17th of Feb- ruary, that being the day on which tho votes aro counted. - THE AREANSAS CASE. .

A now treaty must, therefors, bo mado, but it canno$ becomo operativo in loss than a year, and the Commissioners, under it, may rofuso to roc- ognizo tho work of thé prosont Commission or not, a8 they oo fit. In the meantimo, tho diffor- onces of & monetary charactor botweon tho citi- zona and Goydgnmonts of tho two countrics are of a very acrious character, and delay in adjust- ing thom may prove to be of great consoquenco, NOT TO DE CONQUERED. It may bo protty confidontly stated that tho Bonate will not confirm the nominations of Judges Humphroys sud Bustood, whioh, it will ‘o romombared, gimply involves o transposition of their proueni positions. Irrespective of af- tor considerations, the Judiciary Committco have discoverod a legal obsteclo in tho way. It sooms that tho raaafnuuann of theas gentiomon wore 8o worded as to talke effoct only when ecsch was confirmed to the poui- tlon of tho othor. The Committeo aro of the opinion that such a rosignation cro- ates no vacanoy, and, cnnw*)uonug au appoint« mont cannat ‘bo_proporly brought bofore the Benato undar auch circumatances.
