THE NEW YORK WHOLE NO. 7403. MORNING EDITION—SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1856. THE LATEST NEWS, — BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Interesting from Washington. ‘THE DEPARTURE OF ¥\.. MORSE FOR NSW GRANADA —HI8 INSTRUCTIONS—-°8E BENATE NOT IN SES SION—THE VOTE ON THB ADMISSION OF WHIT- FIELD, DELEGATE FROM KANSAS, IN THE HOUSE— EXECUTIVE DOCUMENTS—-THE BRICK CHURCH PRO- PERTY FOR A 1OST OfFICE—THE MAGNIFICENT SWINDLING BAILKOAD SCHEMES BEFORE CON- G@RESE—ACTION OF THE VIRGINIA ELECTORS, ETO. Wasitncrom, Des, 6, 1866. ‘The instructions for the new Commissioner to Bogota ‘were sent on to New York by a special messenger yes- ‘terday, apd Mr. Morse is expected to leave to day by the ‘@linois for Aspinwall. From there he will go in the team frigate Wabash to Carthagena. I learn that the general tenor of his inttructions sre’ in conformity ‘with the views on the New Granadian questions set forth by the Hexic, He ts to reiterate the demand already made by Judge Bowlin for indemnity to the suf- ferers by the Pavatwa riot, will ask for a proposition from the New Grapadian government for a fina! settle- ment of the mail transit question, for which a respect- able bonus will be paid, and will insist upon some sub ‘Stantial security for tho transit across the Isthmus io ‘fature. aid that when Mr. Hoagley, President of qhe Panama Raitroad Company, was here lost week, he urged Mr. Marcy to mabe an offer for the purchase out- aight of the Isthmus, but the Secretary woold not listen ‘Co auch an idea. Mr, Morse’s instructions do not include the mission to Guatemala, so that is still open to the as. Pirations of the faithful. ‘The Serate not being in session today the House had -everything its own way. The galleries and lobbies were ‘Srowded to excess, as !t was rumored that sufficient de- mocratic force bad arrived to reconaider the vote refua- ing Whitfeld his seat. It was soon determined by the ‘Whitfleld party to let the vote be taken and risk the con. Gequences. The oppcsition joined issue, though doubtful “Of the result. The excitement now ran high, and every man was urged by the leaders to stand to his desk, as ingle vote might turn the iesus. The vote commenced, and was completed before any idea could be formed as to which party had won. ‘The Speaker at last announced the vote to be one hun. dred and eight ayes and one hundred and eleven nays— ‘three majority against laying on the table the motion to -Teoonsider. ‘This was a test vote, and the struggle was considered -onded, when the scenes suddenly shifted, and the farce ‘was repowed by the republicans r¢fasing to take the vote -to reconsider, and by factious movements staying off any final ection. The scene now presented In the hall was ludicrous and disgraceful iu the extreme. The sudden change of par- ties inthe play created excoesive laughter throughout ‘the ball and galerics. As (ho delay woutd only strength on the democrats, tho proposition 10 postpone until Taes- day next was agreed to by them, and the curtatn fell. ‘The executive documents which have been commupi- Gated to the Senate, but which bave not yet been ordered 0 be printed, are now being put in type, and printed copes will be ready tor distribution @s soon as the order for printing is made, As yet they aro confidential. ‘The bali being clearcd for members to salect seats as ‘their pamoe wore drawn, the first namedrawe was Whit- ‘Meld, of Kensas. This was followed by shouts and weving of bats from the lobbies and galleries. Ae the ‘Goure bad refured, however, to permit Whitfleld to be Sworn, the Speaker decided he could not be permitted to ‘take bis seat. Col, Wiilard, Governor clect of Indians, was ta the lobby Of the Bouse to day surrounded by his friecds, Be says Incisna is certain to elect (wo cemooratic Sena. <Oa Medary, of Ohio, will be pressed for the Post Office Department under Mr. Bochanan Mr Stephens, of Georgia, saye the report that Fre- cnont had challenged Sevatcr Toombs is faise. The excttem:nt waxes ho.ter and hotter among the ‘Virgivians in both houses, as te ths course pursued by ‘the Electoral College in recommending Mr. Floyd for a -eubinet porition. ‘One of the electors arrived here to-day, and beconfirms my statement of last evening. It is alleged by the Hunter Iaterest here ae upreceden- tea_end thatthey wii! not submit t,t. Thore is trouble fn (Ze O14 Domtnton It was understood to day that the President had de- ided to accept the Brick churca as asite for the New ‘York Post offce, and the parties who wero {atorested ‘were grostly elated; hot I understand this evening that ‘the President has charged his mind, owing to some facts which bave leaked ovt, Fifty thousand dollars have been distributed among the lobby. Gen. Houston arrived today, direct from Texas, in good heal h, and ts stopping st Willard’s. The ecbeme of the session is embraced in the proposed Tallroad grants 1 \clegraphed to you yesterday that se ‘vera Soutbern and Wesirn railroad companies had com- ‘ined and would roon attempt to got through Congross a DIL, the result of which would give about ono handred ‘and sixty mi!lions of acres of public lands to sald compa- nies. This, | now learn, ombraces only one half of the proposed grab upoo astional domain. The Pacific Ratiron’ bills, introduced jast winter by Mr. Kennett, of St Luiz, and by the Commitice on Public Lands, were botled own to one bill, which was read twice @t the last sersion, ard only awaits the “nick of time’ to Gpring it upon the House and pasa ft to @ third reading. ‘The magnificent bill, as proposed by Mr. Kennett, pro- poses to give the right of way and aid in the form of Public lands, one mile in width along the line of the railway, to & Bet Of speculatess Who were locorporated by the ‘Gtate of Miseourt, end called the Pacitic Retiway Company. ‘The bill, at now before the House and proposed by the -Commitice on Pub!'s Lands, grapts the same righ and ‘Privileges to the following companies: — 1. Haonibal and &t Jor ph Railroad Company. 2. Paoiic Railroad Company, of Misasuri. 3. Burlirgtom and Missoor) Kiver Raiiroa4. 4. Phiindelphia, Fort Wayne and Piatte River Air Line. 5. Misrisaipp! amd Missour| Company. 6. Iowa Central Air Line. 7. Dubuque and Pacific Railroad. 8. Northern Iowa ant Minnesota Company. ‘Thene lines, if the dill becomes a law, are empower. Od to extend their ronds, with the immense grant of land one mile wide, to @ polut of junction somewhere nose Fort Kearney, but not coath of that point. Thence as trusk line it to be constructed between the parallels of Qe Wirty-cightb and forty fourth degrees of north lati. ‘tude to the Pacific, with brancher to Sacramento, Stock ton, Maryeville, Sen Jose, &c, This trunk line is to be owned snd controlled by the above companies, The umber of acres of Iaad embraced in this achome is va ously estimated at one Aundret and fifty t too hun. dred and fijty millions of acres—some say five hundred aniliions Within the past forr or five years grant» of alternate sections of the public lands have been made to nearly all Of what aro denominated the ‘land States.” Up to the present Congress there grants wore confined to Missouri, Milinols and Arkaneas, Last spring, however, no less ‘than cight other States were similarly favored. and one of them (lows) to such an extent that every acre of the public land within her bordsra was as suddenly ewat- lowed up by the railroad companies upon the signing of ‘the bill ss If an carthquake bad engulphod the common. wealih, According to the records, 17,086,282 pores were thus withdrawn, by tho acts of the inst session, from pab He sale at the government price of $1 25 por acre, and are now held at such enhanced prices as the speculative companies orn get According to the Pacific Rai'road bill, we find that the Gouthorn route is to be laid out under the direction of the Gtates of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas and Cail- fornia, But the central and northern lines aro given directly to certain railroad companies therein specified. ‘Thus the central railroad and all te branches is handed ‘over to the road included in the above list. And the north- ‘orn route is granted to the Northern Lakes and Pacific Railroad Company, of which Alexander Ramsay is Prosi- dent, and to their associates, successors and assigns. Al! these companies are already the recipients of lands from Congress, and the attempt is now mado to extend their grants (which have taken up ail the public lands w thia tho States) to the Pacific, so as to give them all the fande in the Territorios and the vast pisin lying on either side of the Reoky Monntaine, In all tho previous grants, sing'e alternate sections wore donated. In the Pacific Railroad scheme, alternate sections, twenty soo: tone ceep are given, or nineteen times more [snd to each mile; and it ir further provided that if \n aay place where the roads run, good land cannot be found, the com- Fanies may telect from the nearest lands of better quality. ‘The lavd to be thus donated amounting to between one bundrcd and fifty and four hundred millions of acres, does not include the branches provided for, aut watch will swell the aggregate as I have mentioned, to live hundred million acres! The bi!l also provides that the governmint sball pay dve hundred dollars per mile, per annum, for carrying tha mails, for ten years, boing five millions two hundred and sixty thousand dojlars a year, or an absolute guarantee for the ten years of fifty two million six hundred thousand dollars, in addition to the grant of five hundyed million acres of land. Can impu deuce ask more? It te uneless to say anything by telegraph as to the fea- sibility of constructing these roads, or ag to their being Profitable even !f constructed, because the b)ii on its face demonstrates that the projectors have no \tea of com- pleting them. The bill expressly provides that as each fifty miles of road is constrocted the Commissioner of the General Land Office eball band over to the companies alternate sections twenty sections deep; and thas the speculators will follow the settlements and build their roads as the country may vecome peopled. They will follow civilization, not Jead it, and thus quietly usurp the public lantis for all time t> come, deriving # never failing source of revenue, apart from any consideration as to the wants of Califorma or the completion of a road to the Pacific, Buch a plan, #0 extensive, embracing such dazzling Prospects to the speculators, vo the politicians, to the members of Congress abou! retiring from public life forever, will, of course, command a powerful and active {ofluence. Men of all grades and characters are in favor of it. You will find your Weeds, your Sewards, your Webbs, your Forneys, your Sidpey Websters, your Franklin Pierces, your Greeleys mixed up init. News: Paper correspondents of influential rs are bought up —'x-Senators, ex-Cabinet officers, ex-M. C.’s are pur. chased at 80 many acres per head, The vote of a mem- ber of Congress is worth ten thousand acres of iand in this grand operation; that is the amount offered. But opposed to the scheme are many of those who ob- tained grants of lands for railronds last year, and who fre not in this fresh attempt to swindle the people out of thelr territory, and who are fearful that if the new grants are obtaived their profite will be greatly diminished. Between thoso rival in tereats there is to be a great fight, and curious developements wil! be made on both sides. THIRTY-FOUKTH CONGRESS. BECOND SESSION. House of Representatives.

Our Washington Correspondence. Wasunaton, Dec 4. 186%. Nicaragua and the President's Message—The Diplomatic Intercourse of the two Countries, dc., de. ‘That portion of the President's message which rofers to Nicaregua, bas already preduced considerable ted aad Bo little excltement. Am interesting debate is likely to spring up in both Houses ef Congress io relation to Hand Central American affaire generally. It is evident that the frends of Nicaragua are pot disposed to permit the qaib- bling and vaseillaiing course of this imbecile admiuiatra- tion to pass unobserved or unrebuked. Is tg well known that Padre Vijil was recoguized by this government on the 14th of May last, and devarted shortly afterwarda for Nicaragua, leaving as charge d’affaira Major Joba P, Heiss, who, in July Inst was officially ro- cognized by the State Department—I have aeen the letter of Secretary Marcy to that effect, dated July 5—and which recognition was endorsed by the President of the United States at « later date. Pacre Vijil left the United States in June, and shortl after bis arrival in Nicaragua, General Walker bavin been viected President of that Republic, he addressed the following despatch to his government :— Gramapa, July 81, 1866. To Tae HONORANLE SECRETARY OF Stars oy THE Re- PUBLIC :— Sin— Although since my arrival in this town I present: 0 myrell to Supret Provisional Government of the Republic in order to acquaint him with the result of the commision which was entrusted to me Bear the government of the North mericaa Confederacy, now that the Presidential casir is ocoupted by the mons tliustrious Wm. Walker, I deem it proper to repeat the same sentiments I then ox, 4 binoe the 14th of May of the present year the supreme go- vernment of the United Siates fully recognized and ac- kpov edged, without any restriction whatever, the go- verpment o this republic; and in the act of my reception as Minister Plenipotentiary, the President of that great Tepubiic waniferted to me that he fe't the most travernal reptiments towarcs Nicrragua, that he desired to culti- vate the most friendly Giplomatic relations, zinoe it wag Fo Decet Bary for the success of the transit across the Isth mur, in the territory of Nicaragua * * * * # From acareful reacting of the President's message, it would appear that, soon efter the departure ot Padre Vijil, the political affairs of Nicaragua underwent an un- favorable change, and became involved ‘in much uncer- wnty and confusion, Diplomaic representatives trom two contending parties baye been recently sent to this goverpment; but, with the imperfect information pos- seabed, It was Dot possible to decide which was the go- vernment defacto; and, aweiting further developements, I bave refused to receive either "” Now, what jost ground the President had for assuming such a position is a matter of surprise to every person, who has observed the course of things in Nicaragua. The meseage of the l’residen; is calculated to misivad the public, for it assames that Nicaragua bas bad no repre- repiative here siace Padre Viiil departed; when, om the contrary, as I stated betore, | have seen the official seeneen of Mej.

Wall street was yesterday thrown into a state of great excitement iu crnsequence of the annowncement of the failure of Jacob Little, the great bear cr the stock board im this city, and that also of Honehaw & Bon, of Boston, im the aggregates for the sum of at least tex millions of dollars. Mr. Lit'le sxnounes® personadiy ab the board in the morving his inability to meet bis engagements, but tered to complete all bit outstanding contracts by pay ing up bis differences at the day's quotations. It te ua- deratood that hiv creditors will, almost without excoption, come into the propored arrangement. The onteteedin, contracts are to enormous amounts. It seema that Mr. Little was largely stort in etooke chiefly in Western rattroad shares, probably inciuding w Considerable amount of Erie, There were many rumor regarding the amount he bad sold, rome of which were no doubt exaggerated. The probability is that the nea ber of sbares which Le bad roid, short or on tme, Gmounted vo about 100,000 or 160,000. We understeet that he offered to settio bis contracts at the pricos of stocks yesterday, but announced that should this proposition be declined, and stocks should continue to advence, that he ‘would be unable to fulftt bis eozagements, We learn thes some of his largest croditors acceded to his propositiea, while othera had not decided how they would sot, ae they, no doubt, wished for time to consult their conatite- ents. Itis likely all will come into th: meavure whem is considercd that Mr. Little has alw _ s shown great libe- rality towards others over whom ho had geiurd « similar advantage, and was generally willing to accept of any dif. ferences they were uble to pay. The intelligence trom Eogiand by the steamer of the large arrivals of gold from Australis and the rise 10 com sols has had its eflect on American operators, and retee@ the price of stocks at ajomp, In this atte of things Mr. Little doubtless foreseeing his uttor inability togo oa; came tow stand sii! at once, The consequen re of this wtil be more distinctly seen im 8 day or two, aud involvements oC other parties, who based thotr own opersticns on the contracts of Mr Littio, must also be extensive and heavy at the second beard, stocks went up to Thursday's prises, aod there are many reasons why such @ result would be struggled for by those who are to dehver at the prosems rates, When the bypotheoated stocks are, however, re- sorted to by the lenders of money in the street—whe bold them as scourity—we shall probably thon see considerable deciine. The great bear cisappocring for = time a8 a purchaser, the supply will excied the de- mand Tn 1853 Mr. Little found bimself in very much the same predicament, and settiod his differences by his notes baving eix, tweive and eighteen months to rua. ‘These were taken up before maturity, and probadiy the same measures will be resorted on this occasion. Hie losses are estimated at about one million of dollars, but his friends appear confident he will be able to rospemd, whatever the sum may be. All these time bargeins, ae our readers are doubtless aware, are sirictly tllogat.
