It is understood that some of the republican Senators are to have a conference this week in order to consider an amendment prepared by Senator Simmons to the com mercial clause of the Mexican treaty. As the treaty now ‘stands, it would, in the maiter of importations, confer on France, England, Belgium and other nations great advan tages as to this country, because by our existing treaties with them they could claim all the benefits extended to “the ni’et favored nations,” among which Mexico would be included, and also give them advan. tages equal to our own in Mexico at our expense. This is the interpretation given to the clause by one of the Sena- tors. The object of the amendment of Mr. Simmons is to secure for ourselves exclusively the advantages to com- merce and domestic products. This, it is supposed, can ‘be accomplished, in which event the other clause of the treaty will become comparatively unobjectiona- ble to several of those Senators who are op- posed to the treaty in its original form. This _ Movement is regarded as indicative of an improvement in the prospects of a ratification of the treaty. There is Teason to believe that the parties directly interested will ‘acquiesce in such an amendment. LAND SALES IN MICHIGAN. Land sales are to take place in Michigan in July and August of alternate sections under the railroad act of 1856, the minimum price of which is two dollara and a half per acre, together with the lands heretofore unof- fered, embracing an area of 1,680,000 acres.

Lieutenant Governor Tom Ford’s elestion as printer of the House comprehended the establishment in Washington of a central organ of the repudlican party. The plan was a sop of the printing spoils to the down- fallen National Era and the starved out Republic, and the fusion of their subscription lists, (both together, 15,000) as the nucleus of the new concern. But the en- terprise appears to be an uphill piece gf work; for the sagacious Tom Ford, consulting the experience of Wen- dell, 1s quite chary about assuming the office of wet nurse to that insatiate horse leech, a Washington party organ.

THIRT ¥-SIXTH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. ‘Wasmrcroy, April 10, 1860. ‘THE CASE OF SANBORN, THE HARPER'S FERRY WITNESS. Mr. Sumvmr, (rep.) of Mass., presented the memorial of Mr. Sanborn, of Concord, Mass., in regard to the gross at- tempt to kidnap him by persons claiming to act under au- thority of the United States Senate. . ‘Mr. Score narrated the circumstances attending the capture of Mr. Sanborn, and his subsequent re- lease, and said the act was conspicuous, both as regarded the man against whom the attack was directed, and the place where it occurred. Mr. San- born was a quiet gentleman, of excellent fame as a scho- lar and of pure life. This was the man who was seized. The attempt was made at Concord, where a seizure was once before attempted which ended in a revolution of these States. The Senate owed something to its own character, and should wash its hands of this transaction. He moved the reference of the memorial to the Judiciary Commit- tee. ‘Mr. Mason, (dem.) of Va., said this man Sanborn was shown to be eithef in correspondence with the man who ‘was hung at Harper’s Ferry asa traitor and murderer, or with his friends. He had, therefore, been summoned before the committee of the Senate to testify. He replied, refusing to come, on the ground that he feared personal violence.
