Mr. Wendell bas been subpanaed to appear before Mr. Covode’s Investigating Committee, which meets to- morrow. The first inquiries of the Committee w ll be directed to the use of money in various election dis'r cts, and espectally iu Pennsylvania, with a view of asco. - ing how much money was sent into each dictric, and who ordered it to be sent. Mr. Wendell wil decline entering into details in regard to this matter. He will reiterate what he has heretofore stated, confining himself tothe aggregate amount. The Committee will, therefore, make but little out of this branch of the investigation, TRE VCHLIC PRINTING INVESTIGATION EXTRAORDINARY DEVE- LOYEMENTS. The Committee on Public Expenditures had a meeting this morning, and Mr. Haskin, the chairman, examined Mr. Rives, of the @lobe, and Mr. Heart, Superintendent of Public Printing, tbe latter ag to his failure on yesterday to comply with the law of Congress requiring bim to open the bids and give the contract out to the lowest Didder, It appears that shortly after Mr. Heart testifed before the Committee on Public Expenditures to-day, where he was calied to ap account for not giving out (he coptracts for the Post Office blanks printing to the Jowcet bidder, as required by Jaw, be opened the bids, and the following extraordinary state of facts appearu®:— Jewett and Thompron, of Buffalo, bid 94% per cent less than the present rates, agreeing to dofor Ove and three cepts work that has been done for one dollar. T. Crowell, who has done the Poet Office blanks ring for fourteen years, bid ninety three cents less fan the pregevt rater, agreeing to dofor seven cents what be bas been doing for one dollar. Larcomb & Englieh bid eighty six per cent lees that the present rats. Fifteen others bid each more than fifty per cent Jers than the work has been done for. This developes the amount of plunder that has for years existed in the executive department of the public printing. As the Post Office blanks printing bas cost for- ty-fve thousand dollars per annum heretofore, under the new law there will be @ saving of about forty-one thou. sand dollars. The Senate to day passed a bill cutting down the rates of public printing twenty-five per cent. This reform is intended to protect Mr. Bowman in the enormous profite It is an established fact that the whole public printing haa been done at the starving rates o& forty per cent less than is allowed by the present law. In order to eclipse this show of reform vy the Senate, the House will probably amend the bill by reducing the rates at least forty-five rer cent. Should this amendment become « law, it will totally destroy the value of the public printing, and benceforth we sball have no more scramb- ling for the office of printer, which has so diegraced the present Congress, turning each Chamber at times into bear gardens and Congressmen into mere tradérs for the spoils. Mr. Browne, of the Constitution, has concluded his tes. timony before the Committee on Public Expenditures. It is as dry as his editorials. THE SICKLES AND WILLIAMSON CASE, All the democrats ana Southern Americans, with two «xceptions present in the House to-day, voted against the regolution providing for the teking of testimony in the contested election case of Williamson against Sickles. Thete two Soutbern Americans who voted with the ma- jority are Messrs. Adams and Anderson, both of Ken- Arg ‘RE PACIFIC RAILROAD. The Sclect Pacific Railroad Committee desided to-day informally to ho'd their next meeting on Monday next at ten o’clock, instead of Saturday, as agreed last evening. ‘The greatest interest seems to centre about this committee. Its room, where is suspended a large map, upon which is traced the different routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has been the centre of attragtion nearly all day by diffe- rent parties interested in the different routes. The chair- man of the committes and other members were present most of the time listening to explana- tions and arguments for and against the diff—o- rent proposed ines. The action of the committee last night in deciding upon cre line was published excla- sively in the Heraip to-day, and it was consequently ea- gerly sought for to-night. The friends of the extreme couthern and northern roads are confident that jf there is to be but one route it cannot be either of theirs, but will probably be the central. The friends of the South- ern road are here in considerable strength, and seem to be thoroughly organized, and represent a large amount of Northern capital. The northern route finds formidable champions in Governor Stevens, of Washington Territory; Colonel Aldrich, of Minnesota, and Mr. Stout of Oregon. The central route stands upon its natural merits,and commands the sup port of all true friends of a railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific. If the central route by way of the South Pass is agreed upon, as it probably will be, the extremest will probably be satisfied with the branches specified in my despatch in Menday’s Heraip, from Fort Smith to Pike’s Peak on the south, and from Salt Lake City to Port- Jand, Oregon, on the north. The action of the House Special Pacific Railroad Com- mittee, In adopting one route, is looked upon asa virtual ¢efeat of that mengure. The friends of a Southern route, end they are in a large majority in the Senate, will bring forward a proposition of their own, which will defeat the action.gf the House. The only hope of paseing a bill this fersion was by the adoption of two routes, Southern and Central. MR. BRECKINRIDGR’S POSITION. It seeme that a parsgraph started gome tims ago by & New York paper, and which is being extensively circu- lated to show that Mr. Breckinridge favored Know Notbirgiem in 1865, was taken from a letter attributing certain remarks to bim in 1666, and not from any speech le bad written or delivered. He entertained acd uttered no such etptiments. He was among tho firet to denounce Know Noibirg em in Congress, and continued that denun- c'ation throughout the contest in 1855 in his own State, lt is noderatood Mr. Breckinridge is looked upon favorably hy the administration, aud its influence may be exerted tor bim at Charleston. This would be likely to secure his nomination. AYPOINIMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. The Preeident to-day rent in the name of H. M.

All the chances are now in favor of the removal of the National Democratic Convention from Charleston to some more eligible place. The Northern members of Congress ny it bas become a necessity, and we have not yet en- countered a Southern member who does not cordially se- cond the proposition. The South Carolina delegation, we understand, bave not the slightest objection to ¢ffer, and we undersiand that, excepting the hotel keepers and liquor dealers of Charleston, the good people of that city ‘would really esteem the removal of the Convention froma that place a good riddance of a very inconvenient and troublesome incumbrance.

But, whatever the justification, it is enovgh that these charges are utterly beyond the reach of the rank and fi’e of the democracy. Another objection which cannot be met, is the absolute impossibility, upon avy terms, of finding accommodations for the crowd which will be drawn to Charleston, to attend the Convention, if held ‘The Convention will be in version at least « week; it may be two weebs—vay, it is possible, the work of tho platform considered, that three weeks may expire before they Come to ap adjournment.

What, ibep, remembering the climate of Cusrleston, will become of these extra filteen thousand stravgers, if thrown upon ihe streets, the most of them for all this period of two or three weeks? The fever may come upon them and clear ’ out; or they may create such nightly acenes of uoire end confusion as to disgust the good people of Charleston, and cast a cloud of diegrace upon the demo- cratic party.

Baltimore e commodate twenty thowand men during the sitting he Convention, at their ordinary charges to treusien: boarders Thus posted, we understand that the Natioaal Executive Committee will be called together next week to consider the subject; and so strong is the pressure in fa vor of a change, that we think the question virtually act Ued, and that Baltimore will ve the place, although the clsims and advantages of New Orleans, St. Lous and Touieville respectively are actively agitated. The central situation of Baltimore, however, its mode- rate charges. and its bountiful supplies of the Incompara ble oy ster#, shad and other tlsh of the watere of Che: peake Bay, will doub‘lese turn the scale ia her favor. The Convention must be in a Southern city, because the last «ne was in a Northern oity, apd Baltimore, after al), is tho place.

It was proposed to refer the eubject to the Committee of Ways and Means; but the friends of the measure desired the reference to be made to the Committee on Military Affaire, Mr. Reagan, of Texas, portrayed in vivid colors the frightful atrocities to which the frontier people of that State are now subjected by heatile abd maranding ra vages, and appesled with the spontaneous eloquence and energy of asufferer, for the protection of the govern- ment, urging the passage of thie bill for this regiment ofca, pedle mounted Texas men, from every consideration of jus- tice and humanity, and beseeching the Honse, as for tho lives of } is own family, to refer this bill to the Military Committee, in order that the Houre may ast in time to put this regiment at once in the field. This was the ap. peal of 2 man who put everything else out of sight, in view of his slaughtered congiituents, and of their women and children carried off into a savage captivity worse than death, Mr. Cox, however, removed from the immediate inte. rest of Mr. Reagan im these fearful froutier barbarities, took s wider range in his discussion of tne subject. He went at once into the main question of the horrible anar- cby of Mexico,and the policy and the necersity of our in- tervention to lift ber to her feet, to pour oi] into her many wounds, and to clothe her nakedness, The New York Hisnauy during the jast six months has pretty thorough- ly canvassed the whole jine of political, economical, com mercial and humanitarian considerations presented by Mr’ Cox upon this subject; but there were some facts submit, ted in thie connection by him to.day which will account at cnee for the absorbing apxiety of Mr. Buchanan upon the evbject of our Mexican affairs. ve facts are that, in default of the intervention of our government a8 a peacemaker on our Mexican frontiers, Gep. Houston, Governor of Texas, with ten thousand men at his back, will be very apt to be found before long on hie march towards the Mexican capital. Nay, more, that there are within our borders forty thousand men (Knights of the Golden Circle) organized for this very enterprise— that they are pledged to the Juarez government—that for their support of that government they are to receive the public lands in ten of the States of Mexico, and that they are to have the privilege of introducing three thousand fettlers Into the lands in each of said States. But Mr. Cox might have raid much more upon this inters stin; ibject, for the Knights of the Golden Circle are begipping to be very free and communicative. ‘They are ® Southern organization, and their object is simply the conquest, occupation and auvexation of Mexi- ¢o, and a new lot of slave labor cotton and sugar States, to tay notbing of cocoa and coffee and gold and silver. Our government, having recognized Juarez, will throw no obetacla in the way of volunteers found for his assist- avee. But even if ovr government were oppone: to them, it could not hinder them from going ag emigrants to Tex ts. Once there, they have only to cross the Rio Grande to ipnogurate their grand enterprise. And they will do it. Their arrangements are nearly completed, and the programme of their operations The only way to arsett their march is to put thie prop-sed regiment of mounted Tr xas volunteers in the fleld to loo! 8, FO bat the yegular troops im that quarter may be ¢crawn off to guard ibe Mexican bonnéary, But the republican par- ty wiil rot look at the question in thie tight; and so they are Sighting off this mounted regiment and the Jusrez treaty #8 part of w plan of the democracy for the raising of azotber grand war and annexation cry for the Preei- centis) campaign. i But this policy of the republicaia to keep Mexico in the Vackgreuna will fail. They are adopting the very game niated to bring it into the foreground. The whoie question for the present depen’ vpon the igzus of Mira tiege of Vera Crvz From the news received from that quarter to day, the result would #eem to be doubtful Snovjd Juarez capitulete, that will be the end of oar re- cognition of his goverument and the end of the Juarez treaty; but it will oply be the beginning of the end with the Knights of the Golden Circle. But should Miramon be defeated, routed’ and put dowb, 98 itis hoped he will be, then the republican party in Congrces will be compelled to face the music. In any event, it is pot the purpore of the democratic party to neglect the opportunity of approprieting for the “impent ing crisis’? of the Presidential coutest this Mexican ques: tion, when it je £0 very easy toreduce it into such a shane 28 to eweep away before the American people all otuer party iesues of the day.
