The lobby. What of the lobby? What ire tho pros. pects of that third estate, the lobby? Als! we have survived the palmy days of the lobby—we ar in the sere and yellow leaf of the lobby, and we can only mourn the decline and fail of the lobby. Like the glory o' Israel the glory of the lobby has departed, though not without a pngoring hope of a glorious resurrection. But not now: not this sido the Presidential election—not unil the pre- eent order of things shall have passed away—not until “Old Buck” shall have beem saperseded by W. H. Sew- ard, or some such available man, can we hope fir the re- urn of the liberal reign and glorious carnival of tie lobby. ‘The lobby, (excepting the Florida war,) was but a starveling appendage of Congress until the advest of and brilliant success of the Galphin and Gardner claims, vader the administrations of Taylor and Fillmore, and of toe great Illinois Central Railroad grant, under the baneticent administration of “poor Pierce.” The acquisitions of ter- ritory resulting from the Mexican war, the discovery of the California gold mines, and the grand epoch of univer- sai speculation, extravagance and corruption thus brought upon the country exalted the Washington lobby trom the lowly condition of a beggar to the splendors of the ruling Power of Congress. Thus, under Mr. Pierce's favorable administration, the lobby rose to the dignuty of the third estate; and its anointed chief, Orsamus Beuajah Matteson, revelled im the luxurious anticipations of the imperial riches of a Cardinal Wolsey. And these were among the grand schedules of the magnificent jobs of the lobby: — 1. Ratiroad land grants and grants of land to canal aad 3. Steamship contracts, sites for fortifications, and for public buildings, such as Custom Houser, 8, Kc, 4. Indian wars, indemnities, annuities, treaties sions, ke. 5. Private claims of every imaginadl: description; and eet, thor not least, 6, The epoils of the public printing. ‘This magnificent catalogue of lobby jobs involved net | profits to the lobby of thousands and millione of dollars. Every great scheme, iand grant, patent job, steamship live, Indian job, private claim, or printing plunder, was treated a8 a great game of chance, dependent not upon its intrinsic merits as a public measure, nor yet upon the party divisions of either house, but upon the liberality of | the oily appliances of the lobby. And they were libera; in the extreme. Take a few specimens. Toward the close | of Mr. Fillmore’s term of oflice in the White House, there was a private gentleman flourishing {n this city, on a scale of expenditures which might justify the suspicion that he was ‘‘the man made of money.” He occnpied two houses— one his family residence, a princely establishment, the | doors of which were only opened to official characters, | and people of influence and high standingin society, His | other establishment was a *‘iree and easy,” open to all comers, but limited in its gratuitous supplies to liquors and eegars. Thus the gentleman in question avoided the ‘“trrepressi- ble couflict”” which would have rosulted from the opening his house to Tom, Dick and Harry, “and secured at the same time the good will and assistance of Dick, | Tom and Harry, who were kept in biiseful ignorance of the superior establishment provided for what the good old aristocrat of the federalist school would call ‘the better sort.” And what was all this for? A patent privilege, | which the member of Congress fresh from the rural dis- tricts would suppose to be hardly worth the lobby expen. Giture of an oyster supper for twenty men. Another case. The gentleman has his rooms at one of our great hotels. His liberality is that of a Russian prince in Paris. A thousand dollars a week for bis hotel bills alone would hardly cover his expenditures. And he has | a host of lesser lights under pay, any one of the firt half dozen of whom draws from him immediate contributions of hundreds and thousands, with a contingent interest of tens of thousands. And ali in behalf of a bill for the ex- tension of another patent monopoly which is about to ex- ces. re. ert yet another. Mesars. Smith, Johnson, Jones & Co. have established a line of steamers between San Fran- cisco and Australia. But the British government has es- tablished a rival line, against which Messrs. Smith, Jonn- son, Jones & Co. cannot compete without the support of Congress. They apply for a aubsidy of half a million for the transportation of the mails. Thoy come to Washington The lobby swarms around them. Smith, Johnson, Jones & Co. are taken captive by the lobby. They spend half @ million amovg the lobby, including Tom, Dick and Harry. But for the scores that have thus been hand- somely remembered there are hundreds who have been disappointed. The House, too, is convinced that the com- pany is rich enough to support’ themselves—the bill ails, ‘be company are swamped, the line is stopped, and between San Francisco and Austrajia ‘Britannia rales the waves.” From these specimen bricks, the readers of the Heratp will be enabled to comprenend the lobby operations involv- jog 4 railroad land grant of two or three million acres, and other jobs according to their lobby capacities, from an. Indian treaty covering a few hundred thousands to @ pri- vate claim of cight or ten thousands, allowing from a haif to nine-tenths of the profits to the lobby. Bat all these golden times have" umphs of the lobby were the Galphin and Gardnor elaime, 80 the first deadly blows to the lobby were administered in the exposure of these magnificent swindles. Next, ‘the railroad land grant and patent jobbing schemes which reached their zenith under i aged Pierce,” wore brought to a sudden extinction under Mr. Buchanan. And go of a host of other brilliant lobby jobs usually covered up in the fag end amendments of the appropriation bills. They have been stopped by Mr. Buchanan. Even the Congressional printing, which, with the Wastetully illuetrated books of the various Paciile Railroad explorations, was but lately a million or more per year, is now reduced to a_ pitiful estimated margin of two or three hundred thou- sand dollars. To the hue-and-cry of the’ independent newspaper press to the great financial revulsion of 1857, to the Congrcesional investigating committees thas order. ed, and to the disclosures of the bold and shameless an- pliances of the lobby thus brought abont, and to the re- solute anti-lobby policy of Mr. Bachanan, the country is indebted for the proatration of this late powerful institu- tion of spoils and plunder—the lobby. We cau realize the straits into which it is driven from tho tremendous pressure upon the new ofilcers of the House for the paltry subordinate places within their gift, and from the abscnce of nearly all the grest guns /of the lobby from the ecene of ection. They are not here, be- cage they are not wanted; they are not wanted, because they have been found ont, becanse the treasury is empty, bocanse cld Buck still stands in the way, and becanse both the great parties of the country fecl the necessity of a decent reapect for public opinion,’ in view of the Presidential election. Nomerovs bilis have been introduced, including vari- | ovs Pacific Railroad jobs, aitording some rays of promise | to the lobby; but the season is unpropitious, and the lobby is below par.

Cutting Out the Business of the Session—Something of a Scheduilo—Union or Disunion. dc. Under the call of the several States, of the last twe days, for bills, resolutions, &c., a mass of work has been | presented sufficient to occupy the two houses down to the inauguration of the next I’reeident, including the foliow- ing subjeeta:— ‘The Pacific Railroad, several bills.

Kaow everything, and who have the ins and outro the Prosi. dential movements of their party at y~T fingers’ ends. Meeting with one of there learned ppAeophers the other evening, we had the good fortune draw from his re- sources of wisdom the following instructive views in ro- gard te the prospects of some of whe candidates for the Charleston Convention:— Well, sir, will the Convention be able to agree upon & platform and a ticket harmoniously? “They will. Their platform will be the Cincinnati plat- ferm, with the simple change of a reference of the slavery question in the Territories to the Supreme Court, and with some strong combustible resolutions om Brown, Helper, Seward and the ‘irrepressible conflict’ ef the black re- publicans.”? ‘Will that do? “That will do.’” Secondly, then, you have various candidates. I should like to have your views concerning some of them. For example, I hear that General Joseph Lane, of Oregon, is considered a mighty available man im soms quarters. “Old Jo. is & mighty good old man, but he doesn’t carry guns enovgb. His political capital, too, is gunpowder, and ‘that has become a drug in the market. Besides, the old General, although apparently one of the most simple hearted and innocent old chaps in the world, is suspected by the politicians as a deep old schemer, with a will of his own. He is one of those plain, off-hand democratic men that please Old Buck; but he is not Old Buck’s candi- date. And, in fact, Old Jo, ig not troubled himself about the Presidency. Perhaps Jeffereon Davis would come nearer the mark? “Now you are on the trail. Davis is a strong man, and no more a disunionist than the Mayor of Washington. Mr Buchanan likes him. You will remember that in 1850 Mr. Buchanan wanted the Missouri compromise line run straight through tothe Pacific. Toat, too, was the of Jef. Davis, and many other Southern men. They tried it. They failed; but thoes men, especially Davis, from that circumstance, became strongiy attached to Mr. Buchanan, and he to them, especially to Davis. And have you not seen that for the last twoor three years Jeff. Davis bas been one of the most consisteat and usefal defenders of the administration in the Senate?’ Do you eoppoee, then, that Davis will be the Charleston pominees “No, ; 1do not say that; but tho administration will in his way. But, then, there are two or three candidates in the Cabi- net—Mr. Cobb, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Black, Mr. Holt, and—— “Stop, my friend. They must look out for themselves."’ Aud the Vice President? “A superior man, sir—too young, perhaps, for the old politicians, and too popular. The President likes him, in spite of his leanings to Douglas. Good chance for Breckinridge, however, because of his sympathy for Doug!as, Should Douglas be shelved, Breckinridge will serve ag a peacemaker with the Jouglas men better than apy other man.” Better than Wise? “Wise! You don’t suppose that Wise has a show, do you? Has be not given Dovglas the go-by on squatter sovereignty’ Have the New York softs forgotten the Donnelly letter? Besides, was there ever such a foolish fuss got up as that raised by Gov. Wise over Oid Brown? It was.a fair occasion for some good Presidential capital; but Wise really did run the thing into the ground. That letter to the President, too, got for the Governor a lesson on State rights which laid him out. But the strongest ob- jection against Goy. Wise is that he is so apt to fiy off the handle. He would run like a mill race among the adopted citizens, if nominated, because of his splendid fight with, and suppression of, Know Notingism in his Virginia cam: paign for Governor. But for all this, Wise Is a skyrockot; up he goes, and fizz, whizz, bang! he explodes in a sbower of colored fires, and he is out. Ask the democrats of the House and of the Senate, and they will tell you that ‘Wise won’t do for these ticklish times. They are afraid that he would write letters cnongh to swamp the party, even if his election, when nominated, should be perfectly sure.” How, then, will Hunter do? “Hunter bas a splendid chance. And that late seagon- able couservative Sontbern speech of his in the Senate is doing good service among Northern men. But Wise has ‘the inside track thus far in Virginia, and if Hunter eannot deat Wise in bis own State, he may have to haul off. The President bas a very high opinion of Hunter, for hs has never been found wanting when his services have been required to defend the measuree, expenditures and esti- mates of the administration. With the administration favorably dispored, aud with the Hrrarp at his back, Honter is a strongman. But, sir, this whole business depends upon the disposition that may be made of one other man.”? And that man is—— “Mr. Douglas! He \s the Little Giant in the path of all the rest; but for that very reason they are all the more likely to combine and crush him, just as was done in the cate of Martin Van Buren in 1844 He had a majority in that Convention, but the two thirds rule was applied and ho was defeated. Tne rule holds good. It cannot be safely repealed. It will stand. But as the majority car- ries the platform, and as the platform in this case will be the first business, the Douglas men may be strong enough tocarry it. But that will not help him; for the real ditil ) culty with Douglas, is Douglas himself. He would bave 0 many accounts to settle if elected, against this man, that man and the ether, that they will find it their com mon object to rule him off.”” But suppose Mr. Douglas were to conclude a treaty o peace with the administration’ «‘He would perhaps now be too late; but he appears to have no inclination that way. A great mistake. As he stands his nomination would be a rebuke to the adminis- tration; and we have seen gnough of the democrat par- ty of Congress, , to perceive the Piministration Will be endorsed at Charleston.” But we are assured that Mr. Dougias is gaining strength in the South, with his late speech on John Brown and th: underground railroad companies. “He is. But not in those quarters from which tne dele- to Charleston are drawn. My opinion is, that Mr. as will be euperreded—that he and his friends wili be retained in good faith in the party, aod that Huater, who is not objectionable to Douglas, or to the party in auy section, will most probably be the norinee of the Charles- ton Convention. Hunter bas no implacabie enemies, and is really an available man.” Wasmncrox, Feb. 22, 1860. The President's Last Levee, and Some Account Thereof—4 Great Gathering and 2 Glorious Iime—Facts, Fancies and Philosephical Gheervations, and Nothing About Politics. The President’s reception last evening was a great aflair. The White House was taken by storm, and all the gay world was there. It was something like the crowd atan ipavguration opening, or the turnout of a bright New Year's day. The accumulation of carriages in tront of the mansion was a blockade which produced many amusing exchanges of compliment between irate coach- men and indignant hackdrivers, and not in the choicest parliamentary language. The press at the door for an hour, going in, was dangerous to tall men with big feet, and to little women with extensive headdresses of artifi- cial shrubbery, and the crush for an hour, coming out, was eomewhat perplexing to plain country people; and so, aa the levee opened at eight and closed at ten, to tho good old tune of “Yankee Doodle,” you will perceive that the flow of the tide had hardly ceased ere the ebb com. menced. And seldom indeed bave we seen at any time, in the observations of many years, @ more brilliant assemblago thap that which waited upon the dignified and ve- nerable chief and the lovely young mistress of the Executive mansion last evening. In this term brilliant we inelude men of mark and beautiful or distinguished women. At nine o'clock there must have been more than two thousand poople present. They filled the east room—cighty by forty—und they tilled ali the approaches thereto, including the famous elliptical saloon, like a reatless swarm of bees. And there were more Deautiful women, more distinguished women, and more handeomely dressed women, in the throng, than at any of the ministerial receptions of the season, that are neceasarily limited w a given number of invitations. This is worthy of re mark, consicering the fact taat tho doore of the White House on levee nights are open to all well behaved psopie, of bigh and low degree. We say this is worthy of re mark, because the presence 80 many of the “‘cpper ten thousand” at a reception open to the ten hon- dred thousand shows that the former are quite ready to meet with the latter on this common ground of demo- cratic “liberty, equality and fraternity.” iu othor words, irs.

The truth is apparent—blondes and brunettes, tall and short, stout and thin, the elegant and the graceful, and the fat and dumpy—we have every va- riety of beauty here, and some, shall we say it, that are classed with apy variety of beauty. But if they are not handsome they are interesting, or good, or have some- oe to attract us; not unfrequently the loveliest of white eboulders. But the band bas struck up ‘‘Yankee Doodle,’’ snd w regretting the absence of ‘‘the Little Giant,’ whose mo- cesty, we are quite sure, keeps him away, must give up all this nonsense and look up our hackman. Wasiinoton , Feb. 24, 1860. Division im the Republican Party—The Charleston Conven- tion—Poor Pierce—Douglas, Slidell, Hunter, Wise, Breckinridge, Lane, Bayard—Buchanan Stock Ahead— Pennington, Chase, Seward—The Public Store Contracts— The Attacks of the Daily News on John Cochrane, dc. It is difficult to understand the drift of the greater por- tion of the letters which are written from this city to your metropolis, They misrepresent the state of fecling here altogether. With regard to the Presidency, every one in political circles is well aware that the question of nomina- tions is as completely bemuddled as it well can be, both in the democratic and in the republican camp. The re- publicans are diviJed into the most irreconcilable factions. The blundoring pertinacity of Weed in adhering so long to the Astor House slate programme has disgusted the anti-Seward faction to that point that his nomination is congidered to be an utter impoesibility. Bates has no chance, and I am not inclined to think that a New Fogland man can be made to go down; bat Ca meron stock, om the whole, stands well, on the principle that an adroit trimmer of the Jeffersou Brick school—can rally around him more of the floating ele- ments of the community than even quasi conservative oppositionist. ‘The democratic party are not only at sea, but they in- tend to remain so. The words ‘the most available can- didate”’ are politically fashionable, and will be go for one month longer. Jf the nomination at Charleston were to be decided by “brag” or “poker,’’ Douglas would win the game; but the old stagers of party are not to be taken in by auguries or prognostications. If the “Little Giant’, himself 1 to be believed, he has more fears of Pierce— noone else than poor Pierce—than of any other rival. Certain it is that he pretends to be aware of a conspiracy of two years’ perpen vd which the principals are Jeffer- son Davis, Caleb 1g, James Guthrie, of Kentucky; Robert McClelland, of Illinois; and, as subordimates, all the ex-officeholders of the last administration, the is primarily w raise disturbance and object of whi a row at ar! y and then, by a sudden preconcerted union of forces, to Franklin Pierée up to the top notch in the Convention. ‘All’s weil that ends well;” so that I think we may be safe in jing the echeme absurd. If success‘ul, it would be detestable; and only ere you what I have heard on the authority from which J have derived it. Senator Lane is a favorite ina rather limited circle, and there is no manner of doubt that he is a candidate for the Presidency. His very elaborate bow ficient proof of the fact. It is more elegant than his English. Socially he is admired; but officeholders need not take pains to curry favor with him for future tenure of their posit 1 would not dare to say the same of Breckinridge. He wins golden op'nions from all classes, and is as popular as Absalom under King David, without the same length of bair or the same danger from another Job. Hunter has ld 3 national strength, but is personally disliked on account of his coldness. Wise be stronger if he were not reported to bave an uny element of support from your State, which bas not exhibited itself favorably hore lately. A stropg and by no means unsuccessful effort has been making to concentrate strength upoa Hon. James A. Bayard, Senator i Delaware. ties! nted as possessing great natural powers, as being a logician and an accomplished lawyer; but it is also stated that his modesty and honesty utterly unfit him for popular with the masses, This would be enough to him at Charleston. Siidell wants to be President, but of course be cannot; ee witb half a score more of would-be candi- dater. Wise is confident of being the national executive from 1861 til 1865. His letters are voluminous. If Cag- ger and Cassidy had ‘ion of them they might make ‘a fortune by selling for twenty dollars a pisce. On the whole, the general underground cry is that Mr. Buchanan will be forced, whether he or no, to run once more, and It is thought eertain that he will be elect- ed. Pennington is not distinguishing himself as Speaker. He is doing rather the ite. He is utterly ignorant of ent Tule, and does not seem anxious to learn. ic is laughed at rather oftener than ought te be agree- able. He may perhaps, however, be licked into after a while. An attempt has been mae to create trouble in the Trea- sury De ent with tothe new contracts for pourpa lic stores. So muti the better. If there is an Vestigating committee, tt will result in the entire \- cation of the Secretary of the Treasury, of your or and of the contractors. The trouble arises exclusively from some discharged employés, from the aj rs ie one or two rather refractory departments, and some rotten outside politicians. The report of merchants and the summing up of expanses at the end of the quarter is altogether in favor of the eharge which Mr. Cobb made some months since. Much «igcontent prevails, not only among democratic but also among republican members of tho House, at the ¢isplacement of the Hon. John Cochrane from the ion of Chairman of the Committee on Commerce. He is re- cognized as one of the most statesmantike and probably the most industrious member of the Honse of ‘osen- tatives. To his personal popularity, and also to the ridi- culous attacks upon him by the Dai'y News of your city, is mainly attributable the unpopularity in Washington of the otherwise shrewd and gagacious individual who controls the columns of that paper. During the contest for the Speakership the democratic members of the House were more guided by Cochrane's advice and counsel than that of any other man, aud but for him Sherman would have been mevitably elected. Wasiinatoy, Feb, 28, 1860. ing of the Post Office Blanks— Wendell ant Rice— The Boot om the Other Leg, dc. The report has beem circulated far and wide, by the newspaper organs opposed to the administration, that ‘among the party contributions which it has extorted from Mr. Wendell, as public Printer of the last Congress, wers various subsidies to Mr. Rice, of the Philadelphia Penn- sylvanian, from the money received by said Wendell as the printer of the Post Office blanks. But all such accu- sations arc wide of the mark. The boot is on the other leg, as the following copy of an oficial document will sbow:— The Pri Post Orrick Drrartynt, Dec. 31, 1887. ed, That the printing of blanks and such other prints § may be required for the use of this Depart- ment out of the city of Washington be giveo to William Rice, of Philadelphia, to be executed by him until further ordered, upon the terms ani conditions of the latter clavee of the 11th section of the act of Congress entitled “An act to provide for executing the public printing aad establishing the prices theroof, and for other purposes,”” appreved Avgust 26, 1852, and of any other act or acts of Congress relating to the same.

Thus it appears officialy that Bice was the printer of the Post Ofiice blanks, that he was regularly appointed, and that he was thus entitled to receive ali the money and elt tho profits for the work. But Rice comtracted with Wendell to do the work, agreeing that Wendell should receive all the money therefor, and that to Wen- dell Rice should look for his share. Henco these subsidies to Rice.

The charch has lately been undergoing de- molition, preparatory to the erection of a new and more commodious one, and is at the present time more than half torn away. Some thirty or forty laborers, mostly Irish, were engaged in the process of raziog, thirteen of whom, at the time of the accident, were at work oa one of the northern walls, arranging to tumble it down, but of a sudaen it , and, without a moment’s warning to the unfortunate workmen, it fell inwardly, burying all of the thirteen beneath the ruins. Tho news of the sad calamity, £0 unusual and so terrific in its details, spread throvgh ihe length and breadth of our city like wildfire, ‘and scarce a hour had elapsed before there were drawn to the spot fully fifteen thousand spectators. Huan- , dreds of le, with picks and spades, ieat their might, and ‘quickly the bodies of the men were exhumed, ex- hibiting, in their mangled appearance, @ most horrible and revolting spectacle. Brains, pioces of skulls, &c., were scattered about here and there, and the bodies geuerally ‘were 80 mashed and disfigured as to preclude immediate identification. Fathers, mothers, wives, sisters and bro- thers of those known to be employed at the ‘ ed to the ground, and by th cries and prayers, frantic ¢; the most terrible ‘suspense, all formed a row and desolation that we hope never again to witaces. The bodies were removed fast, as the work of disinter- ring proceeded, to a sul of the St. Xavier school, a building adjoining. The first one taken from out the crumbling mass of brick and mortar was identified by a woman at hand as being that of her Latent.

As before stated, the bodies, quickly xhumed, wero taken to what may well be termed a dead-room, and ranged side by side in most horrible array.

Friends secking friends, wives after husbands, and child- ren rch rae were admitted one by one, and as the mangled lies of the dead were exposed, it is pot won- derful that 7 scenes were the consequence.
