Another Nigger tn the Fence—Thurlow Weed and Seward Laying their Heads Toyether—Row in the Albany Post Office—The Naval and Printing Committees—Pay of Members of Congress— Foreign Intervention in Mexico— Address of John Cochrane Before the Art Association of Washington, dc., ce. As the setsion approaches its cloge tho excitement and interest increaseyplots and counterplote are the order of the dry; but ag the schemers operate sub rosa, it is almost Impossible to correctly define or understand their real in- tentions. Under the pretence of attending the Napier ball Politicians and lobby swindler’ are gathering rapidly, ‘Thurlow Weed and Seward are concocting some stupen- dous acheme. Weed’s principal fugieman, Farmer Abel, has been bere the entire session attending to the lobby. Schoolcraft, Thurlow’s Albany banker, has recently ar- rived, aud the sumerous secret meetings lead me to sup- pose that there is a ‘nigger in the fence’’ somewhere. Last night Boward, Schoolcraft & Co. met in Sherman's (of Ohio) room, at Willard’s. It te more than probable that the programme they are arranging is how they can bes advance Master Sewnrd’s interests, clog the wheels of go- vernment, stop legisiation, cut off supplies and embarrass the administration. Mr. Thomas E, Davis, a wealthy gentloman of New ‘York, ana’a particular friend of Bishop Hughos and Sew- ard, is also ou the ground, and it may be he has somothing to do with these plottings. Tam informed twat there is a row in the Albany Post Office. Comstock, of the Atias and Aryus, the Postmaster, hhas been pitobing into Secretary Tucker and other firm friends of the administration; and henee the trouble. The Postmaster at Indiaoapolis is aieo iv a x—the part’culars Tbave vot yet tearned—but I presume it ts the old story; some bungrier individual wants his place. It is report that the Naval Cowmiittee will band iv their report to-mor- row: I doubt the rumor, becauso they sent the Sergeant- at Arms, oniy yesterday, to New York for important wit- Deszes. The applications from New Yorkers, out of emp'oyment, volunteering testimony, are DuMerous—$52 @n0 $2 a day are the inducements. ‘The Printing Commitee will soon be ready to report. Wendell gave Lis evidence yesterday, and they let him up easy. ‘This coufirmes my first statement, and farther war- Tants the conciusiou of my last letter, that the affair would end in smoke. The thirty million bill will pass the Senate; but in the House I fear there wiil not be timo to get it to a vote. While members of Congress are seized with such a fit of economy avd retrenchment, would it not be well for them to look ‘into their own cuse? First, take their pay, and it will be seev that, by the law which gives them a salary instead of a per diem, there is an additionst charge of over ‘ove million one hunored thousand dollars each Congress. Will they return to the cight dollars a day, and save this large anount? The long ecssion of frum five to six months, ‘ag last year, and the short session of toree months, make @ little over one-thira of the Congressional term—two ‘ears in actual service. The pay vow, under the three ovgand @ year salary, amounts to nearly one million eight Damen tbousane dollars for the Congreesional term, while under the old law of eight doliars a day it would amount, taking tho term of service of this hen aoa tor little over six bundred thousand, making a difference, as before stated, of over one million ono hundred thousand dollars. In another matter, with regard to themselves, our pat- riotiomembers of Congress might make some tetrench- ment. The mileage drawn is far-borond actual travelling expenses, I heard a member of the House from the Far Westeay that bis mileage amounted to about fifteen hun- dred dollars, while his travelling expenses. were sixty dollara each way. If the amount charged were only what is necessarily expended, several hundred thousand dollars would be saved to the treasury. Besides the wholesome reform in the way of retrenchment, a change in this respect would strike at the root of a demoralizing system Of deception, or covering up extravagances, under the guise of proper expenditures. And 80 the reform might be price bape near the franking privilege, extra allowances to employ: the Capitol, a change in the corrtpt charges eee, for witnesses called by investigating committees, which, with other allowances, put twenty thousand dollars a Year in the pocket of the Sergeant at-Arms, and in many Other abuses in the legislative department of the govern- ment. At least a million a year could and ought tobe Baved in expenditures by and for Congress. In my communications to the Haxatp some time ago, I Btated, from retiable information, that the French and Faglish were about to intervene in the affairs of Mexico, under the pretence of enjorcing claims against that coun- try, and of seeking redress for wrongs done to the sub- jects of those governments. The late news from Mexico confirms thie statement, The admiuistration bag been re peatety assured, in diplomatic style, that these European ywers bad no such purpose, and had no on tite territory of Mexico, and was, at one time, disposed to piace confidence in those assurances, But events speak more forcibly than words, aud I believe the administra- tion now realizes the fact that, while we are adhering to the policy of laissez faire, the Powers of Europe are nul- Iity:ng at every step the ‘Monroe doctrine, aud secretly fand actively trying to render the United. States a secon- dary Power on the American continent. ‘The address of Mr. Cochraue the other night, before the Art Association of Washington, was quite up to the ex- pectations of his intimate friends, who have long known ‘what a well of deep and refined eensibility was hidden under the soperfices of his political character; but it was & disappointment, though a most agreeable and surprising one, ib the large number of bis auditors who had oaly known him or heard of him asa leading member of Con. ress. Somehow, people had imbibed a notion that, Keough Mr, Cochrane was acknowledged to be a gentleman Of considerabie figure in politics and society, and, without exception the best clocutionist in either house, yet, to Bpeak satisfactorily on art before such an assemblage bs Gathers in vhe exbibition room on sach occasions, would Fequire a kind of taste, a species of discernment, a sort of Jeatning, and a mode of discussion, very different from those qualities which ordinarily distinguish a representa- tive from your city. Whether it was that Mr, Cochrane was cewrmined to show that he had an exquisite Tolish for better and purer things than politics, or thst the assembinge of beautiful paintings aud sculp- tures had yivilled in him the feelings with which many man looks on the objects of his fond and secret idola try, unknown to the world, 1 know not; but he certainly made an address—1f not extemporaneous, at feast with a thoroughly extemporancous air and manner—easy, (ucut and vivacious, as if be caught at the ideas just as they presented themselves—which would have beeu creditable to any of the amateurs or litterateurs who bave in any pre. vious year delivered lectures before the association. It was listened to by the élite of our metropolitan so- clety, hg og | the most of those who are not taken up Merely with frivolities or banquets, and no speech in Congress of this session has been more talked about. Poli- tics are temporary. But art, taste, li:erature, are eternal. Sanders, Butterworth, Schell, Caldwell, deputy P. M. of New York, and many othor Now Yorkers, arc still here. ‘Weather beautiful.

The thirty millions is a gros bribery and corruption fuRd, and sag aprp nad of Caba is clap-trap and a valu attempt to save democratic party from that anoibilation the Almighty has destined for it. He spoke elaborately on tbe expense the purchase would entail as mortgnge and interest, and detailed his personal experience to prove that Cuba, although a good isnd, 13 Dot 80 as the Western Stats, avd its climate is in effect a perpetual tropic. To purchase the istand is merely to pay two hundred doliars per bead for every man, wo: man, child and Digger, not to own them, bot for leave to govern ® scum of popuiation that we would reject with scorn if they offered to come for nothing. The only usa of the ietand' to us would be to keep there a fivet and army, costing a hundred millions annually. The native creoles are an ignorant, vicious, priest riddoa tet, over whom Gen. established a mili- tary despotism, not to prevent a political insur- rection, but crime. From the Captain General, the Judge on the bench, and the priest in the pulpit, to the lowest Cuban, bribery’ is universal. No other but the Catholic reli; ia tolerated, and the Cubans to a man are true to the Catholic church, and the Catholic church to despotism. wae, Dellaved staat the declaration of indo- ence qi re in was written in some ver in New Orleans. What was the fate of the gallant Crittenden when he went in good faith to aid these so- called panting Cubans? He died like a man, but declared with his latest breath that he had been deceived in his belief that the Cubans thirsted for liberty. Here he wont largely into the Dred Scott decision, saying that it and the thiity milion corruption fund are the ou'y planks in the democratic platform of 1860, and under wi they will march tocertain defeat. Mr, Chandler concluded by ex- amining the details of the expenditures, to show that the increase since 1852 bas arisen from corruption. Mr. Pork, (adm.) of Mo., then addressed the Senato in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, His remarks were artapged under{our beads, which he discussed separately, 98 follows:—First, is Cuba desirable?—second, is the offer to purchase it the best means to obtain it?—third, have we the ability to pay for it?—and fourth, is the present time the bert to make the offer to buy {t? We can only give the briefest outiine of bis arguments. He said that the Gulf of Mexico was empbatica) 4 Mediterranean Sea, the United States and Mexico only ing its shores. ato it flow our rivers, which makes it receptacle of an fmmense and ‘ever {increasing commerce, and of the products of regions almost from the ‘frigid to the torrid zone, throvgh which those rivers’ flow. Cuba closes it and makes it a cul de sac. The channel between it and Yucatan is almost closed by currents which impede ti ong 80 through the nar- row portbern strait, between the coast of Cuba and the Florida capes, the commerce and surplus products of six- teen States and Territories must pass to markets, besides being the key to the transit routes to the Pacific. A few hostile war steamers could seal this passage; hence the necessity that the Gulf should be what the Romans called the Adriatic, a “mave nostrum’’ (our sea), and if need be, algo a ‘‘mare clausum.”” The acquisition of Cuba is alike important to our growth, commerce and security. More- ever, tho removal of the differential dutics against our flour, manufactures, kc , would give an impetus to our ma- nufactures, commerce and. marine, and give us the sugar monopoly of the world, as we have that already of cotton He cou'd see vo insult in the offer to parchase, and was confident that annexation would be hauled by the inhabit. tants of the island. We can acquire it only by couquest or purchase—and purchase was cheapest. The flaaucia objections against the purchase were untenable. Mr. Collamer says we have not money eucugh in the trea sury topay for it. True, we have not. We never have had and never will have so much st im the treasury while the government of this Union is aiministered in accordance with the principles of the constitution. Nevertheless, we can raise any amount of money when the occasion demands it. The objections against the po litical azpects were equally untenable. He was ready to trust the President with the amount, and there were precedents for doing so in the case of Pre. sident Polk in 1847, and Jefferson in 1808, aad in the case of Algiers. Our purchase was no business of France or England’s. This country was ready to fight the last dollar and drop of blood on that issue.) What better time can be found to make the purchase tban the present? When will Spain be more willing to sell or necesgitous? Mr. Polk here referred to some portions of Mr. Seward’s remarks, and in the course of the question and answer which ensued Mr, Polk tried hard to make Mr. Seward define his future position in respect to acquiring Cuba, He asked him categorically to fe ees! be was in favor of its future acquisition. Ir. Sewakp, (opp.) of N. ¥., replied that when the juncture shall come that will make the subject a practical naa would answer, but that now it was an batraction. al . Mr. Potx resumed, urging the suitableness of the pre- nent time to buy the island, saying: ‘Let Spain know wo ‘want it, that the Cubans want us to have it, and that we aro willing to pay a full price for it, and wo will get, it Let one of thoee storms come on Spain, such as she 80 often been ex] to in the recent past, and she will do as the mariners do in like cases, throw it overboard. The subject was then postponed, and Mr. Huntur again called up THE CONSULAR AND DIPLOMATIC ‘TION BILL. Mr, Pua moved another amendment, to consolidate the smaller missions—Rome with Naples, Sardinia with Swit- zerland, and to combine the several Central Americar missions. A long debate followed of considerable interest. Mr. Hunter ould affect the public service. "Mtr, Supe ‘entertained aimliar views. .

Without taking any action the Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. ‘Wasmvaton, Feb. 17, 1859. 4 CONTUMACIOUS WITNESS. The Sergeant at-Arms, pursuant to previous order of the Houge, produced John Cassin, of Philadelphia, who had been summoned, but failed to appear before the Select Committee to investigate the accounts of Mr. Seaman, the late Superintendept of Public Printing. He was now ar- raigned at the bar of the Houso, under attachmentfor con- tempt. On motion of Mr. Gro. Taytor, (aim.) of N. ¥., cbair- man of the committee, the Speaker was directed to pro- pound to Mr. Cassin the questions of ‘* What excuse had he to give?” and “ Whether he was now ready to appear before the committee and answer alt proper questions ?”” Mr. Cassin answered by a written statement under oath, that on being summoned by the Sergeant at-Arms on the 9th inst., he immediately prepared to attend as required, but allowed himself to be delayed a few days, owing to the illness of a near relative; but he had now come, and voluntarily surrendered himself, He meant no disrespect wo the House, and begged to be excused for any apparent or actual dereliction, and was ready to testify before the committes. Having thus purged himself from the alleged contempt, on motion of Mr. Tay1or, he was discharged from cus- tody. Y POSTAGE ON.

Mr. Davis, (adm.) of Miss., defended the democratic party from Mr. Garnett’s charges of extravagance. Why the inst year of Mr. Fillmore’s administration was selected for comparigon with Mr. Buchanan’s first year, coming, too, from a democrat, he was unable to determine. This was not a fair test. He accounted for the increase by the extension of mail facilities to the Pacific, the Utah troubles, the expenses attending the Territories of Kansas and No- bragka, the euppression of Indian hostilities, and other objects of expenditures required by the eas and con- sequent necessities of the count For those (ncreaged expenditures the President and the heads of the depart- ments are not to blame. If there is any complaint, it should fall on the Congress of whatever party. Mr. Graxcen, (opp.) of N. ¥., made a speoch to show that New York is guarding the liberty of every perzon, regardless of complexion or condition, who gets foot on ber eoij. As sbe claims their allegiance, she owes protec tion inreturn, fhe fall's her constitutional obligations, no person can come within her territory and take away a human being to be made a slave.

He hastened to the spot, and just as he wag about to enter @ man came running out of the alley way with his hands and face covered with blood He instantly stopped the fellow and arrested him. On going to the spot from whence the screams appeared to emanate he caught a companion of the prisoner’s jn the act of vio- lating the pergon of a poor widow woman named Catha rine Kearnon. The officer promptly arrested the man and took bim, together with the other prisoner, to the sta- tion house. There the acoused gave their names as Jas. Gallagher and Scott Melaughlen. On gaining sufficient strength, Catharine told officer Quinn that while in the street sho wasattacked by nearly a dozen rufflans, who forcibly dragged ber to her room, where they thrust her face downwards on the floor, threw her clothes over her head, and while almost strangled to death by two men who clutched her bv the throat, others violated her person She attempted to scream, but was prevented by the pri- soners, who (og agag in her mouth and clung still cloger to her throat. They also beat her in the face with their fists, and sbe might have fallen a victim to their brutality, had not some one in an upper room of the house adjoinmg been aroused by the ruthless violators, and promptly called the police. Mrs. Kearnon was taken to the etation house in a most shocking condition, and, on belog questioned, told her story, whien corresponds in alt its material features with the facts related above. She claimed to bea respectable woman, and the police say that she bas a ceughter some ten’ years of age. The victim, after receiving proper attendance, was placed below stairs, but eome hours later left the cell unob served, with some female lodgers, und when wanted to make an affidavit in the case ehe was not to be found. The officers are in search of Mrs. Kearnon, and doubtless will be able to find ner, as they have some of her things at the station house. The two prisoners were taken be- | fore Justice Osborn, and locked up to await an examisa tion. The police allege that various. persons living in the immediate vicinity of where the outrage was consum mated were aware of its commigsion, but had too much regard for their own lives to sound au alarm, lest the fact should come to the knowledge of the rowdies, who would be sure to retaliate. The police are on track of other parties. Tur Finemen’s Ficut is Beekman Sreeet—Tae Free Commussionrrs’ INVESTIGATION.

Goon News yor SMoxERs.—We are informed that at a late meeting of the officers of the railroad companies controlling the land route between Now York and Boston, via Hartford and Springfield, it was decided to provide comfortable smoking cars, to be attached to the morning and evening through express trains—the absence of which ‘“uxary” has £0 long been a subject of complaint among a portion of the patrons of that popular route.

Should the tables be at any time used by whist or other pertics while en roule, every description of Fambling will © strictly forbidden.
