The first question of interest; which meets us on the very threshold of our inqnirj-, is " who invented or composed the cipher in . which j these dispatches were sent T Ou this point we have tbe testimony of Col. 'Pelf on, the nephew of Mr. Tilden and his Secretary who was living in Mr, TutV1.B. house,. Jo. 15 Gramercy: Park, tofwhora tbe 'dis patches were sent. Cl.

Returning Ioard, and s ates that the negotiations failed because he could not raise the amount of money ashed. He further stats that bis un cle, Mi. Tilden, did not know of these negotiations till he (Pelton) had left for Baltnuoie to close the bargain, aud that wheu he (Tilden) learned wha't was going on, he '' telegraphed for him (Pelton) to ccjiue home and , at once put a btop to the trade. Ho states Ifurthtr, that his uncle.'Mr. Tilden; was quite -angry with bim and' Inade'knOwh his 'disapproval of Pelton's 'negotiations in very emphatic, t language,. : Col. Pel ton; then 'goes on to s lute, ithat in spite of bis uncle's disapprobation, 'so ' em phatically . expressed, of, his effort's to purchase the Florida Returning Board, he (Pelton) i, proceeded, tn make an ef- fort to pure ha Be ttw South' Carolina Returning Board and after that failed, he attempted to' buy an. electoral; vote in Oregon.

A Family Quarrel. The real purposes of the Democratic party are generally so carefully conceal ed from the public nuder a veil of pre tended economy aud sham reform," that it is only when the members of that happy family fall ont and quarrel among themselves, and some impetuous member breaks over the 1 restraints usually thrown around them, that' the American people can get a glimpse of the truth. A.n occurrence of this kind recently took place in Congress, and led to Bach an extraordinary exhibition that we shall take the liberty of laying the particulars before our readers.: On Wednesday, Jan, 22, tbe pending bill before tbe House1 being the bill refer ring to the Court of Claims, the claim of Maggie Barron aud other minors for supplies furnished the Union Army, the following discu6Bion took place be tween Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin,' a Democratiud a General in the Union Army, aud Mr. EJllis, of Louisiana: . Mr. Bragg opposed the bill ps a precedent which -would open the doors of tha Treasury to aa evil wLich would bankrapt the Govern ment. He had always been opposed to the Southern Claims Commission, ; It was a court which had bred fraud and perjury all over the land. It wan a remarkable result that in nine teen out of twenty cases the judgment had been against the Government. It was impossible to prove whether a person had been loyal or not He was willing that the dead past abo.uld remain dead, but he was no willing to sit by and allow it to be brought up in one form or another, by one member or another, and from one committee or another, fur the purpose of getung money out ot the 1 reasury under the plea oij loyalty. Loyal men in the South had been very few, and the evil done by feting them stand as they were, bore no' comparison to the evil that would be done if Congress opened tbe door and allowed millions to be ap propriated under the plea of loyalty. He had heard a taunt thrown at the Democracy which he thought it unnecessary to answer. Ho had beard it said that unless the Democrats of the North were more liberal, unleiS they opened their bands and gave more lavishly, the "Solid South " on which they relied would go over to the other side. He, representing the Democra cy of th North, would say that if there was a man who professed to belong to the Democracy of the South simply lor the reason that the doors of the Treasury wera to be opened to them, the sooner they went over the better for them and the better for the Democratio party. When the people of the country , felt that they could trust , the.Treasury. and. the interests of the Government with the Democratic party, with no "dan"erbt the Democrats of the North selong out. body and soul to the Democrats of the couth, that party oouul gather recruits in the Northern States that would nil up its rank 4 to the maximum, and it would have no need of that class of gentlemen whom it could hold only by giving them all they wanted. Mr. Ellis agreed that the percentage of loyal persons in the South, as the gentleman under stood it, was very small; but the Southern man who hkd been born there, who had been reared there, and who had ' been identified with that people could only. have been, loyal when he entered the Confederate, army .and did his full duty as a' soldier. They had been the only loyal people in the Semth. ' They had been loyal to their ! country, to thir God,' and' to the noblest, . highest, and ; manliest emotion ever breathed, by the human sop.1.,., xl , ... . , ' Mrl ' Conger dasired to, ask, a question, but Mr. ElKa refused to' jield and, continuing, said that here and there there might have been a few , persons .who bad espoused the Union cause, but he did , not know more than three men in his' State who had been loyal to the Union; He was willing, here and now,' to vote for a constitutional .amendment which should close the books aud foreter settle the aocoonta between. them and the Government The. lec ture which the gentleman from. Wisconsin (Mr. BrWgg7 liad feeen fit to' riad the Democrats of thai South came from bin with a rather bad grace. i . . t . . . No Democrat had proposed todeserHhe Dem ocratic party.

It regards them as traitors,, rand they are .openly denounced as such, by a leading Demo crat in the balls bf Congress. When we read this speech, we feel as if the tide of events had rolled back eighteea years and we were now in the midst df tbe stormy scenes of 1861,! and as the echo of ibis insulting taunt reverberates along the corridors of the National Cap itol, we involuntarily listen, almost ex pecting to bear it auswered by the thun der of the opening cannonade on Fort Sumter.

WasHEiOTOK, Feb. -fifenator Win dom said, in , conversation with your correspondent to-day, that he was just as enthusiastic as ever in his plan for the colonization f tbe 'colored . people in one' of the Territories. He says that he 'receives, a great many letters every day from i representative colored men of tbeknthTandthatTjp to this time only three have v indicated any PQsitiouJo tiie project, aud the ,ob suous presented uy these, he says, jec can be easily answered. ' He says the emigration J of four or five hundred thousand blacks from the five Southern States where tbey either exceed or closely apprjoiiuiate the white popula tion would at once settle i finally ' the vexed quefction of the relatiouH, social and political between the . two races, which' keeps Congress: and .the whole country iu a perpetual ferments He saya the reason why there are and bave been no raee troubles iq suchiitates as Maryland, and West Virginia id because while tbe, black population is large it is iusiguificaut in propurtiou to the white population. If the surplus black popu lation of such States 'us South Carolina', Mississippi and Louisiana can' be at- traded to new belda of enterprise' and labor, the white populatiou wonfd at once be relieved, of any abprehensioq of political i vassaliigfi," aud wonlit 4 disposed, both ly interest and bythe 8entimeut of what is-: right, to treat their colored fellow-citizens as they are treated in Maryland, ' West Virginia aud elsewhere.
