Current Moves ox tue Pouitical Canss Boarn.—The most noteworthy feature of the session of the House of Representatives last night—held to afford a sort of escape-valve for the pent up “ Buneombe,”” owing to the really remarkable previous close attention of the en- tire session of the House to legitimate busi- ness,—was the speech of Mr. Humphrey Mar- shall,gthe American-party leader in the body, in reply to the late political manifesto of the nguished and justly respected veteran member from Maine, Mr. Israel Washburn, jr., whose point was to ennounce to the world that the Republican party leaders had planted their party immovably upon the doctrines of Senator Seward’s Rochester speech. On behalf of his party, Mr. Marshall formally announced that it will not ‘go’? Senator Seward and his doc- trines; but will organize anew if the Repub- lican party will not ‘‘fase’’ on some other than an abolition platform. slaveholding States are concerned, the Repub- licans have this game between the wings of the opposition entirely in their own bands; and having no hope of gaining anything material— jingle electoral vote—in the South, by fusion with the American party, they will ‘‘stand on”’ Mr. Seward’s Rochester “hand,”’ least by “throwing it up’? they may Jose more aboli- tion votes than they can possibly gain from tie American party by “backing water.” On the other hand, we are not among those who believe that the pruposed fusion on any conceivable terms, if carried out, will fail to lose Maryland to the Opposition. quire—in the present towper of the rural dis- tricts of that State over their loss of slave prop- erty by underground railroad operations—but a forma! fusion between the Amcrican and Re- publican parties to insure Maryland to the De- mocracy; so we have little faith that the an- ticipated coalition against the Democratic party Messrs. Washburne and Mar- shall, or other leading politicians, may bill and coo—squabble, and then kiss and make up— over such a proposition until the next presiden- tial eleotion; yet they will accomplish nothing more likely to induce the American party of the South to turn Abvlitioniats, than to induce the main body of Mr. Seward’s supporters to cease to be Abolitivnists.

The Union, speaking of “The Agency Sys- tem and the Government Officers,” says that it is not credible that any of the high officers of Government would deliberately and inten- tionally lend himself to fraud, and that it is Still less credible that the disappointed solic- itors of Government jobs and contract brokers, who hang about the ante-rooms of the depart- ments and the lobbies of Congress, have suc- eeeded ia monopolizing all the honesty in Washington, leaving the heads of the Govern- It does not suppose that there is any one of the heads of departments who does not feel relieved when an investigation is or- dered by Congress into any transaction which is made the subject of street-corner, bar-room, and newspaper impeachment. It says that these Congressional investigations originate in the black-mailing system which is coming so much in vogue in our day, and which has its convenient and congenial conduits in the “Washington correspondence” of so large a portion of the distant press. The black-mail- ing system itself arises from the crowded con- dition of the profession having its headquar- ters here known as the “lobby,’’ and the character, or want of character, of some of its Is rae Hovss, Mr. Cobb, from the Commit- tee on Public Lands, introduced a bill amenda- tory of the pre-emption laws of the United States, making provision for settlers who may have occupied lands before they were sur- veyed, to pre-empt the same; to prevent dis- putes relative to the claims of such settlers where more than one may be found to have settled upon the same tract; and to prevent frauds under the pre-emption acts.

Amon; Secretary of the A New Goversor ror Nesraska.—Wehave every reason to beliewe that the President to- day sent to the Senate the nomination of Judge Samuel S. Black, formerly of Pittsburg, Pa , to the governorship of Nebraska. A better appointment could not have been made. Judge Biack has not only earned much reputation as a Federal Judge of Nebraska Territory, but has endeared himself legitimately to its popu- lation of all political parties, by the manner in which he has discharged the duties so far de- volved on him. de Sarliges again, as, f tponed, and the The new law of executive commu- ‘a8 one from the ‘avy, in answer to a resolu- tion inquiring whether the chaplains in the Navy were required to conform to the ritual of the Episcopal Church, or wear rforming religious exercises on Th ecretary says that the regulations of the De- artment, approved by Congress and the Presi- ent, require the chaplains to wear gowns, but no particular church ritual is prescribed.

On motion of Mr. Hunter, the Pension Ap- propriation bill was taken up and passed. On motion of Mr. Gwin, the Pacific Railroad bill was next taken up.
