Not a few honorable members, prin. cipally from the interior, setm to have adopted the quisicality, as has been evident in more than ‘one tirade against American foreign missions uttered in the consideration of the diplomatic | and consular bill. The opinion when enter- tained sach quarters is a pernicious one, and is simply the result of almost* entire ignorance of the requirements of that branch of our public service. By way of shedding light on the subject we quote below re- marks in connection with it from the pen of Mr. 0. Jennings Wise, an editor of the Rich- mond Enquirer, who for seven years was con- nected with the diplomatic service of the United States—as an attache (clerk) to the Brazil Lega- tion, and as Sceretary of Legation in Paris. We commend the result of his experience as therein stated to the sober reflection of Con- gtessional advocates of no-American-missions | abroad : ‘Having seen nearly seven years of diplomatic service in subordinate stations—nearly three as a copying clerk with the nominal rank of attache; and | four yearsaxa secretary of legation—having served | under four distin: raished ministers plen! atiary | —having copied. filed, indexed and arrang many volumes of diplomatic and consular corres- | pondence, having now no desire whatever to | re-enter the diplomatic service, we evince no egot- ism in saying that we would much rather trust our own experience and observation on the subject, than the Incubrations of legislators or editors, any one of whow would probably blunder in the word- ing of a note verbai-. ** We can truly say that in the course of our ob- servation we have not sound a single diplomatic post which could be abondoned without injury to the public service, nor one at which a faithful pub- lic servant could not find important labors to occu- Py his time beneficially for his country. Every: where we have seen advantages to Be ined abuses to be corrected or prevented, valuable in formation to be collected. The consular depart- ment alone requires the constant supervision of a corpsof diplownatists. The ascertainiig, arrrang- ing and ery | statistics of high importance in commercial and international connections, would alone furnish ample material for useful labor. The claims of our citizens against foreign governments ean find no efficient advocates except in ministers residing at foreign Courts. The theory and work- ing of most of the governments cf the earth are in such conflict with our own system and doctrines, as to require the frequent interposition of efficient diplomists. to protect the life, iberty and proper- ty of our citizens, native and naturalized, For ac- grate and timely information, too, as to passing events, our Government is often entirely lepend- ent on our ministers abroad.

But we are proud to say, it has never been our lot to be bronght in official contact with an incompetent or unworthy American diplo- tatist.

Its achievements It is true that im Facts axp Ruwors.—The New York Herald of yesterday contains a special despatch from this city to the effect that a messenger arrived here on Saturday from Vera Cruz, with des- patches from Mr. Churehwell, the special agent of this Government in Mexico. tis understood the despatches allude to the alarming danger which threatens the lives and property of Amer- ican cities in Mexico from the banditti, and advise this Government of the necessity for Prompt assistance. f It is a general impression here that the Pres- ident will veto the bill granting lands to the | States to endow agricultural colleges. It is stated that the board of Army officers, convened here by order of the Seeretary of War to make a thorough investigation with a view to redneing the cost of that branch of the public service, will be prepared to report in a few days. If the results of their labors should , not be available fur Congress during its present | session. they will furnish the basis for future estimates for the Department, and, as far as can be done without change of existing laws, will be adopted as the policy of the Department during thecurrent year. There is astrong dis- posiNion on the part of all the heads of the Gov- | ernmental Departments to obsorve the strictest | economy in their administration of public af- faire, and none of them go farther in this Tespect | than Secretary Floyd. A report is current that recent private nd- vices from Cuba are to tho effect that a perfect | ry system of terrorism prevails all over the island. | Taz Tarirr.—Considerable excitement has prevailed among the politicians of all parties around us since Saturday afternoon, growing | out of the prevalence of an impression that majority of the Committee of Ways and Meani had agreed to report a tariff bill to-day, with | the understanding that no member of the com- | mittee should be regarded as being bound to | westain the report when it might be before the Fivuse. The object of their agreement to report | ® partiowar bill after yo long failing so to do, | we take it. is simply to get the subject before | the House; it being impossible to effect that object in any other way. A majority of the committee are well known to be in favor of some change in the existing tariff, though there | is not a majority for any particular change. “It is understood that Messrs. Letcher, Dowdell and Crawford being opposed to any change in | the tariff of 1857 whatever, voted (in the cont mittee room) against reporting in any way on | the subject. Our own impression is, that if the subject matter gets before the House some | change or other will be made in the tariff: not ; as pradent, we fear, as if the question had been duly taken up for consideration 2 month ago, and all propositions bearing on it thoroughly sifted. P.S. Just before going to press, to-day. we learn that the bill which a majority of the Committee of Ways and Means voted, on Sat urday, to report is, a bill to authorize the re- issue of Treasury notes, simply, not a bill to amend the Tariff act of 1857. The vote upon it was five (Mesers. Phelps, McClay, Letcher, Dowdell, and Crawford.) to four (Messrs. Phil- lips, Morrill, and the other two opposition members who are on that committee.) An effort was made to obtain a vote in favorof reporting the Tariff bill known as Mr. Phelps’s; but as its friends in the committee would not consent to permit that of Mr. Morrill to be offered (in the House) as an amendment to it, the Protectionists on the committee refused to sanction the proposition to Teport it. The Treasury-note bill will probably be re- ported sometime to-day or to-morrow, and, our belief ix, the House will amend it by the addi- tion of a Tariff «‘rider.”” Tus Larest Investigative Comntrer.— On Saturday, the Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives appointed Messrs.
