The Union, speaking of the admission of Oregon, thinks that there are few subjects that have come before the present Congress of greater national importance than this of the annexstion of a new State to the Union upon the Pacific side, and rejoices at the ab. sence of party feeling and the obliteration of party lines upon a question before the present Congress. The same paper publiskes and com- ments upon the recent speech of Mr. Stewart, of Md., on the subject of the Tariff. The Intelligencer also publishes the speech of Mr. Stewart on the Tariff question, and is devoted to Congressional proceedings and news. —___—__-e+e- THE WEEKLY STAR.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tax Ixvesticatine Comurrrees.—We = derstood that the members of the cece committees of the House of Rare at are under obligations Of secrecy 85 ha transpired in their sessions, and we are assu that the Democratic members thereof have re- fused to violate this rule. It is extremely un- fair that the Opposition members should not likewise keep their pledge, which itis pretty evident, from the following paragraphs from the New York Times and Tribune, and others of a similar character previously published, they have not done: ‘« The House select investigating committee on printing discovered another fraud of between twenty and thirty thousand dollars to-day ina contract with a Philadeiphia house for paper.”? “*Sherman’s committee of investigation rela- tive to the navy-yards expect to close the testi- mony this week. Every day’s developments present new wonders of corruption; and the com- mittee’s report will create a greater explosion than any other document of the century. Searing says that he can prove that he paid for painting bis house.” This distribution of such portions of the nom- inal evidence as suit the slanderous inclination of the Opposition press, by piecemeal, if the work of members of the committee, is tolerably good evidence that they do not expect the final re- port to be one out of which they can make po- litical capital; and hence their determination to make it do all possible injury to parties ac- cused, by distributing quoted portions of it, and by piecemeal, in advance. Jupex McCaxpiess.—The recent appoiat- ment of the Hon. Wilson McCandless, of Pitts- burg, to be the United States District Judge for the western district of Pennsylvania, ap- Pears to meet the unanimous approval of the press of that State. This was to have been ex- pected; for while he has for twenty years past been a leading Democratic party man, active and efficient as such on all proper occasions, no other distinguished lawyer of the State has enjoyed, as a man, a larger share of the confi- dence of all who know him. The Lcnnsyi- vanian says of his appointment: “AN EXCELLENT Arrointment.—We learn from Washington that the President has nomi- J ate, Wilson McCandless, of Pittsburg, to be Judge of the District Court of the United States for Western Pennsylvania, in place of Judge Irwin, resigned. A number of able gentlemen were named for this place, and several were urged upon the President with much earnestness, by their respective friends W bile it may be admitted that the public inter- ests would not have been prejudiced by the selec- tion of either, it affords us pleasure to say that the appointment of Mr. McCandless {s sure to meet the general approval of men of ail patties in that section. Asa gentieman, a scholar anda jurist, he enjoys the respect of all who know him, and in every respect he is regarded as emi- nently qualified for the Bench. ‘There is great propriety inthis appointment in another aspect. Col. McCandless bas ever been the earnest, reliable, personal and political friend of James Buchanan, and has always been faith- fal to the Democratic canse—alike in adversity and in prosperity. While the appointment of others may have been desired by their friends, that of Mr. McCandless cannot be regarded as objectionable ar offensive by any Democrat or friend of the President. Tom axp Tapey Acain.—We find the follow- ing in the dispatch of a special correspondent to the New York Trihune, dated Washington, February 9: “In the Executive session of the Senate last evening, an exciting debate arose on the appoint- ment of Benjamin Wiggin, of Maine, as Com- missioner under the Reciprocity treaty with Great Britain, to mark the line between the river and sea fishery. It was charged that the a) point- ment was made to reward Wiggin for voted for Buchanan in the Cincinnati tion—tbat he is utterly unqualified, and an un- safe man for so important a post. ‘The Senate declined to confirm Wiggin, and the case was laid aside for future action’? This indicates that the late in vestigation as to who betrayed the secrets of the Senate's Executive session has not resulted in stopping the leakage. If poor Tommy and Tabby were expelled from their quarters under the gallery, and we suppose they were, this renewal of the offence would imply that the verdict against them was unjust, and that it was from other sources that newspaper writers obtained their information. But, jesting aside, as the alove paragraph involves what is calculated to dam age the private character of a party who has no opportunity of defending himself, this cae is far different from the other, wherein it was the reputgtion of Senators only that was con- cerned. They could clear themselves promptly of unjust aspersions, which this party cannot do. Facts anp Rumors.—The correspondent of the New York Nrws says: ‘The Opposition begin to fear that the Ad- ministration will not be foiled in its determina- tion to annex Cuba it has leaked ont that a secret personal agent of the Queen of Spain bas been in this country for a twelve-month, and that there have been several meetings between him ard the President. This person is said to be a lawyer of great eminence in & in, and to have the charge of the Queen’s private estate, and knows her wishes and intentions better than ber Ministers, or the whole of the Court com- bined.” The Baltimore Exchange says that— “*A letter from Paris by the last steamer, from @ prominent source, states, on information re- erived from Madrid, that it is not probable Mr. Preston will be received as United States Minis- ter, but if he should be received, the first inti- mation from him relative to the purchase of Cuba would be deemed sufficient ground for giving him his passports. Our Government, however, Js not in receipt of any official informatioa from Spain on that subject.” Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, denies that there is truth in the report that he desires to succeed Mr. Iverson in the Senate. He intends to withdraw entirely from public service. The Baltimore Repuslican’s correspondent pays the following compliment to Mr. Barks- dale: “The Hon. Wm. Barksdale, of Mississippi, has on several occasions lately acted as Speaker of the House; the able manner in which he has conducted himself during the most tumultuous proceedings, is a common subject of commenda- tion He hax shown himself to be prompt, firm and a fluished parliamentarian.’ Tas Weataer.—The following report of the weather for this morning is made from the Moxso Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution.

Thirty-fitth Congress—Secend Session, In tHe Senate, yesterday, after our report closed, Mr. Simmons replied to Mr. Toomb:, and favored an increase of the tariff. He con- curred with Mr. Toombs relative to the neces: sity for curtailing Government expenses. The question was then postponed; and— - Mr. Seward made an ineffectual effort to get up the Indiana contested Senatorial sinsiia case. The consideration of the Cuba bill was then umed, when— Mr. Foot moved to amend by adding aclause to the effect that no part of the money should be used till after the treaty was ratified. Mr. Pugh offered to amend #0 as to limit the aggregate amount to be paid for Cuba to $150,- 000,000. He advocated the acquisition. Ad- journed. In tue Hovse, Mr. Grow opposed the ad- mission of Oregon, and offered, as an amend- ment to the bill, a proviso requiring a census to be taken, and the admission to depend on the population being equivalent to the ratio of Congressional representation entitling it to one member. He strongly opposed the admission at this time. Mr. Bingham gave notice that he would offer an amendment describing the boundaries of the proposed State. . Mr. Hughes advocated the admission; and said that the opposition to it on the Republican side was because they were resolved to vote against the admission of any other new State whose constitution did not recognize negro equality. oe Mr. Nichols advocated the admission, and nswered very completely the arguments of Mr. Grow. He exposed the palpable incon- sistency of that gentleman’s course, and at the same time refused to recognize this as zee tisan question, as marked out by Mr. Hughes. Mr. Granger and Mr. Maynard followed in opposition to the admission. t was agreed that the vote should be taken at 12 o’clock to-morrow (Saturday.) The House then went into Committee of the Whole, and resumed the consideration of the President's Message. Mr. Lovejoy made an anti-slavery speech. After a recess till 7 o'clock— Mr. Keim explained his position in favor of an increase of the tariff. = Mr. Taylor, of La., advocated the acquisition of Cuba. . Mr. Wood opposed the repeal of the fishing bonnties. Mr. Jackson deprecated bigher-lawism— North and South. Mr. Farnsworth denied the sectionality of the Republican party, and opposed ihe adimia- sion of Oregon because its constitution ex- cluded negroes from the State. Mr. Lane adyovated the admission of Oregon. Mr. Taylor, of N. Y., made some strictures on the extravagance involved in public print- ing. ‘Adjourned. Preceedings ef To-Day. In tas Sexate, to-day, Mr. Yulce, from the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, reported a bill to abolish the franking privi- lege, and for other purposes. Mr. Mason moved to take up the Amistad bill in preference to the Indiana question, as he thought it would lead to less debate. Mr. Seward said that he would have to sup- port his minority report in the Amistad case, which might occupy considerable time. The Indiana Senatorial question being taken up, Mr. Seward was addressing the Senate in favor of the admission of Messrs. Lane and McCarthy, when our report closed. In tux House, Mr. Searing rose to a privi- leged question, and read a paragraph ia a let- ter of a Washington correspondent to the New York Times, published a tow days since, in which the statement is made that in the testi- mony before the naval investigating commitice it has appeared that paint was taken from the New York sea ee and used to paint the house in which Mr. Searing resides. The state- ment further asserts that the testimony shows that laborers employed at the navy-yard were taken there to do the painting. Mr. Searing pronounced the statement a base and vile slander, perpetrated by a still baser correspondent, and called on the chairman of the committee, Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, to state whether any such charge had Leen made to the committee. Mr. Sherman replied that no such evidence had been given, nor had any information im- plicating the gentleman’s character, in any Iaanner, been elicited by the investigation. He said further that the committee had stu- divusly avoided giving any information to the press, and that carly next week they would report the results of their labors. he House then resumed the consideration of the bill for the admission of Oregon, which was advocated by Mesers.
