FROM WASHINGTON.
HIGHWAYMEN AND BRAVOS.
WASHINGTON. JOG. 22, 1859.
The intestine strife which is rapidly ren
ding in pieces the Democratic party broke
out .vith great virulence the secret session
of the Senate yesterday. Mr. Hale 'was
in the chair, and a discussion arose upon
the merits of some nominations to office
which had been sent in by the President.
Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, denounced the Presi
dent with great bitteaness, accusing hint of
insincerity and insolence, and declaring
that he meant to oppose and thwart hint
whenever and wherever he could.
Mr. Douglas spoke en the same strain,
ttigraatizing Mr. Buchanan's recent ap
pointments to office in the West in very
severe terms He intimated that the Bu
chanan Postmasters in Illinois were little
better than thieves, and were so regarded
by the people If anything was missing
from the mails, the Postmasters were in
stinctively suspected of larceny.
These imputations on the standard-bear
en of the Faithful roused the ire of Mr.
Fitch, who denied their justice, charged
Mr. Douglas with uttering shameful cal
umnies, and denounced him as a rebel to
the Democratic party.
Mr. Douglas haughtily replied that he
was an uosubdued and a very suc.
cesoful rebel, and that neither the Presi•
dent nor his Senatorial followers could put
him down. He then retorted upon the
gentleman from Indiana his charges of
falsehood and defamation. At this stage
of the affair, Mr. Hale, the Chairman, cal
led the disputants to order, kindly sugges.
ting, in his own facetious way, that the
harmony of the Democratic party would
not be promoted by such displays of (rater•
nal affection.
The war of words still continuing, Mr•
Jefferson Davis at length interposed, and
• .1 Ik. onnlrl:nrr Sonatran
He told them they were talking "like high
waymen and bravos"-..and that their con
duct was shameful, and disgraceful to the
Senate. This brought them to their sen
ses, and they subsided into silence.
This scene is said to have been the most
violent and indecorous that has ever occur-
r ed:in the Senate, even in secret session.
where the prececcings are accompanied
with great freedom of manner and of lan
gunge---the Senators lighting their niers
and talking is the free and easy style of an
alter dinner conversation.
ft is a little remarkable that on the very
day when Mr. Broderick took the trouble
to openly relieve the sensitiveness of tome
of his brother Senators of the Democratie
party at my statement in the Tribune, that
he had compared them to a gang of bur.
glars. another Senator should feel compel-
led to compare them to highwaymen and
bravos. But let that pass. The most se
rious aspect of the matter is the indication
it gives that, in spite of all his concessions
Douglas is still regarded as a rebel, who
must be put down and punished; and the
further ir.dication, in the cane of ugh,
that Lecomptonism is not the only source
of dissension that rankles in the bosom of
the African Democracy,

LYNCH LAW IN ARKANSAS-FIVE HORSE
THIEVES Hum—The Memphis Eagle
learns the following from a friend recently
returned from Arkansas
'A man by the name of Rogers stole a
horse from an honest old farmer of Ar
kansas, and wended his way up into Wash
ington county, where he said he sold it to
a farmer there. But upon his not being
able to give the name or the man, nor
make satisfactory explanation, a company
who had been in pursuit of the horse
theif took him to the woods and tied him
to a log. and gave hint between two and
three hundred lashes, well laid on. This
had the effect of bringing him to terms.
He then confessed where the horse was
and who where his accessors. The com
pany then proceeded to Red . River Bottom
where they found the missing horse and
five fellows, whose business it was to steal
all the horses, and whatever else 'would
pay,' that they could, whom they hung to
the limbs of trees, until they were dead.
dead, aead. Upon consideration of Rog
ers having 'turned,' he was spared.'
WORSE THAN LEAP YEAR. —The ladies
of Schuyler county, New York, have a
way, peculiarly their own, of intimidating
the men into matrimony. The Rushville
Times say that one day lust week, at
Hur.tsville, a young woman, who had, or
pretended to have, some claims upon the
hand and heart of Mr. Thomas Watt, call
ed at his store and daManded that he
should either marry or submit to me encase
of the bullet. r. W. refused either born
of the dilemma, when she banged away.
The ball struck pretty near his centre,
bui hitting a rib, passed around tnd out,
doing no material damage. The young
lady was arrested and tried, but Esquire
Benson dismissed the charge, and let her
go.
Abolition of the Canal Board.
The bill for the abolition of the Canal
Board passed the Senate the morning, of
the :Ist inst. so amended as to abolish the
office intmedialely upor. the act becoming
a law. Much credit is due to the talented
Senator from Westmoreland, Mr. TURNEY
for the ability and zeal with which he
pressed this measure. To him, more than
any other merVber of the Senate, are the
people indebted for the passage of the bill
in its present shape. It was immediately
sent to the House, and approved by that
body, and now only awaits the signature
of the Governor to become a law. This
will be gratifying intelligence to the tax•
payers of the Commonwealth of all parties.
—They are now rid of the plunderers who
clung, with leach like tenacity, to the pub
lic treasury, filching the people's money
for the benefit of themselves and equally
' corrupt partizans. There is no doubt a
bout the Governor signing the bill, and
soon the I:anal Board—one of the most
corrupt institutions ever used by unscru
pulous and designing men for partizan
purposes— will be numbered among the
things that were. May we never look
upon its like again !
RE-ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
• In the House of Representateves, on

and hence, we could mix up. and live to
gether in peace. The Cubans are not of
our race---and hence, amalgamation with
us would be difficult if not inpossible.

Pike's Peak No Great Things!
ADRIEN, Mich., Jan. 18,1859.
I see the papers teeming with faoulous
accounts of the richness of the South
Platte or Pike's Peak gold mines. Now,
when I say that this is the greatest hum
bug of the day. I speak advisedly. I have
made two successful trips to California;
first crossed the plains to 1849, and worked
the mines nearly two years, and returned
to my hone in Cleveland, Ohio. I recur.
ned again in 1852, and worked nearly two
years more in the mines. So I think I sin
qualified to judge, from thorough prospec
ling, what a man can make per day in the
mines. Last September, I, in company
with seven others, started for the mines
of South Platte. 'There were also two
other California miners—J. D. Sprague
and James Fry---in our company.
We prospected the Platte, Cherry creek,
Plumb Creek, and many other mall
streams. We found gold ; but the bare
color was the fruit of most of our washing.
We have found as much as two cents ICI the
pan of dirt; but such places were few and
far between ; and at no place could we
make a dozen pans of dirt average one
cent per pun. It is all very fine, or wash
gold. It is estimated by many that there
will be 80,000 emigrants to the gold dig
gings next spring; and,judging from what
I have seen on my way down and on fron
tiers, I think it will be large, unless the
the truth is fairly mated. The border
men have a great interest in publishing
flattering accounts.
Every one who goes to the diggins with
the expectations of making money by dig
ging gold is destined to a great disappoint
ment. There are those on the border who
are now preparing to fit out the dupes of
their flattering accounts, that will make
the most money; and they alone will
be greatly benefited by this stupendous
humbug. I write this, hoping it may
save some of the alisapointment winch
they must ultimately feel if they expect to
find a new El Dorado at Pike's Peak.

THE SCHEME TO GET CUBA,
WASHINGTON, Janr 19, 1859
The Democratic members of Congress
have ostensibly resolved themselves into a
Committee of Ways and Means on the
question of Cuba, Some propose to ouy
it, some to get it under false pretenses.
some to take it under the Manifest dodge.
some to steal it in a mean way, and some
to take it boldly, highwnymen fashion,
These various methods will each have
their advocates in the discussions already
commenced in Congress. The sovereign
people can be considering the various points
here presented for themselves, while the
uiscussions plUgocoa. av 1..

es thereon. They will be variations of
the sane tune, a tune that may be fairly
denominated the political Rogue's March.
. It may be n relief for the public to. un
derstand distinctly in advance, that this
Cuba demonstration is not real but ts mere
ly a political teovement set on foot for a
double object. The first is to attempt to
embarrass the the Republican party in the
Free States, and the second is to concili
ate the fillibustering element, wounded by
assaults on Walker and his piratical con
, federates,
The Sham-Democracy, it is well known'
is in straits in the Free States. The par
ty is broken and demoralized. If some'
thing is not done to arrest its deentegration
it is plainly to be seen that it will be sites
ly past recovery everywhere. With this
view pressing upon them, the leaders have
held a solemn conclave here to decide
what shall be done. The result is the
springing of the Cuba question upon the
country in its present farm. It is not
done with a view of obtaining Cuba. It
is not because there is the least chance of
obtaining Cuba now or at any fixed period
in the future; for every public man of in
telligence sees and knows that, in the pres
eat temper of Spam, and in the existing
attitude of othea great European powers,
there is no-present hope of the acquisition
of that island. The real object of spring
ing the que ition is to start a public discus
sion that may, in its various ramifications
and bearings, by some possibility, some
where or at some time, embarrasas the Re
publican party. The chance is small, but
it is deem ed better than none. We can.
not say that the attempt should be unquali
fiedly condemned. Some reasonable con'
sideratton is due to the schismatic and fail.
fug condition of the Democratic party
, There is us evident necessity for it to do
something to save itself. Suppose we ad
mit, then, that it may as well demagogue
on Cuba as on anything else.
There is another emsideration that
, prompts to the movement, which is partly
political and partly personal. The fiHibus
tering element is just now at odds with the
Administration, This comes about after
this wise t Everybody remembers the Os
tend Manifesto of that famous diplomatic
trio, Messrs. Soule, Mason and Buchanan.
Everybody does not know how it was
brought about- Sold° was the father of
the movement. He devised the scheme
of the conference, got up she meeting, and
wrote the manifesto. Mr. Buchanan's
natural repugnance was conquered by the
manipulations of the wily Frenchman.
His magnetic forest and basilisk e) e did the
business for the facile Pennsylvanian. But
an Mr. Buchanan was moved by Presiden
tial considerations, it slid not answer his
purposes for Nr.Soule to be understood to
bo the author of the manifesto. Mr. Bu.
chanan accordingly r.s-wrote it, and it ex
ists to•dsy both in its original and in its
copied form, the difference between the
two being—not much.
Mr. Buchanan repented him and re•
lapsed shortly after; or at least he declin_
ed to coincide with the ardent and fantas.
tic views of Cho real author of the move-
most and to cooperate with him, under his
lend, in his Quixo!ic scheme to seize upon
Cuba, while France and England had their
hands full in the Crimea. Thence arose
first a coolness, and then alv stility. Mr.
Buchanan became President, turned Soule
and his Ostend doctrines adrift, and relaps
ed into his normal condition of anti filli
busterism. He's been harrassed by Soule
with his various fillibustering enterprises,
from that day to this. For Mr. Soule is
the real man who stands behind Mr. Will
iam Walker and furnishes the brains that
sustain all the astonishing achievments of
that depredatsr, and creates such coaster.
nation in the coltimns of The Washington
Union and in Hambugdorn genially. lest
the French and English and American
fleets in the seas of Central America should
all be insufficient to withstand the titanic
shock threatened by a few dozen raga
muffins launched upon that country from
the Biy of Mobile and the contiguous wa
ters of the Gulf.
But there is something more. Mr Sou
le is the bitter antagonist of Mr. Slidell and
Mr. Benjamin, and he wants the latter's
place in the Senate. To be sure, there
are other candidates for it, Mr Sandige
among them. But Mr. Soule has his own
aims; and he is, of all others, the man to
believe that thing can be done which all
the rest of the world knows cannot be done
Mr. Soule is a man'of sensations at d sur
prises. He flatters himself that no man
Can play the loon better than he, who,
while he dives in one direction, aisnprmilit
the observer by coining up in another.
Mr. Slidell recognizes the position of things
and wishes to conciliate the filibustering
element for hiso e wn purposes. While his
'
hand was not seen, he was yet principal
.n over in the getting up of the Senitorial
Caucus on Saturday night last, ut which
the Cuba movement was finally determin•
ed on as a party measure.
At this point m y be observed another
phase of ihe perional bearings of this trans.
action. Mn. Douglas was present. The
Mr. Douglas, DOI() was so heartily wele
corned-and Hazed by Mr, Soule and his
taw wAirie s,rl 00. at New•
Orleans. The Mr. Douglas who, a few
days ago, entered the Senate, and upon
whom, at the time, Messrs. Slidell and
Benjamin resolutely, and almost offensive
ly, turned sheir bucks, while he was re.
ceiving the congratulations of his friends.
This same Mr. Douglas entered Mr. Sli
dell and Mr. Buchanan's Cau . cus, and out
fillibustered them by proposing to get up
another Black Warrior affair, and make
it a pretext for seizing Cuba, inwardly
grinning a defiance to them to outfillibus
ter that delightful proposition if they could.
Such, in bri"f, are the political and per
sonal reasons for presenting the Cub.i
question in its present form. It is not ex•
peered, or at least it is not possible, to drive
the project to a vote at rhiv session. It is
the short session, and but little time is left
to mature and pass tho appropriation bills.
and this gives the Republicans the con
trol of the question- But the subject will
be got ready for its fullest spread at the
next, provided that the majority like the
looks of the discussion and the drift of
events.
Of course, those who have contrived this
notable scheme, pretend to be anxious to
know how it will be met by the Republi
cans. We can hardly conceive that they
should have any doubt of the subject.
The Republicans will not, nor will any
other great body of the American people,
oppose the acquisition of Coca, whenever
the island ctn be honorbly obtained on
proper terms. But it is to utterly ignore
the great contest for supremacy new being
waged in this Government between the
Free States on the one hand or the Slave
Power on the other. to suppose for a ino.
meat that the Republica), will advocate
the acquisition of Cuba except under the
application of the Wilmot Proviso—except
vs a Free State. This is the first vital
condition. The second would be this stip.
elation. to be inexorably maintained, that
the Roman Catholic religion should there
be stripped of its controling power and
doinination be and reduced to the level
of all other religious sects. The Slave
Power and the Roman Catholic hierarchy
will, of course, act in conjunction to pre
vent the adoption of either of these prime
conditions to the acquisition of that island;
but when, in the fullness of time, Cuba
shall come, as it must and will, we may
fairly presume upon the intelligence of the
people to affix such conditions to its acqui
sitions tie will not only advance the com
merce of the country, but promote its pro-
groan in the humane and beneficent ob
jects of the illustrious founders of the Gov
ernment.
As to the particular project emanating
from the Senate Committee to entrust
thirty millions to the President for corrup•
tion purposes; to be used when and where
he pleases, a t home or abroad, to buy up
mercenary horde of rapacious scoundrels
whether in his own country or in Spain,
it can receive neither favor nor quarter
from any but blind and unscrupulous par
tisans. It is a bold, bad project, to be de.
minced by every man of honor or honesty,
