Washing tow, Jan. 15.—The exposure of the extraordinary conduct of Representative Hewitt, of New York, relative to the O'Ponnell resolution, is the principal subD ject of comment here, and there is a general feeling of regret that his defense is so feeble. It is learned from au unquestionably reliable source that weeks or more ago Mr. West, the British minister, told a prominent mspiber of congress the facts as published regarding Mr. Hewitt's visit to hira In relation to the O'Donnell resolution. To a reporterof The Washington Post Mr. West said: "Mr. Hewitt will not deny that lie came to me and said what he is represented to Iuive said." Four hundred and seventy-five bills were introduced under the call and referred to appropriate committees. At ita conclnsiou the house at 3:45 p. 11. adjourned.

Mr. Hewitt soys that liis statement published in the newspa|Ders covers (lie sn'ijjrt fully, and he wiW nut be interviewed. A great many people ore anxious to know who it was that revealed Mr. Hewitt's secret to the public. There is a suspicion that Perry Belmout, the astute diplomat, and u second member of the committee on foreign- a Hairs, it at tha bottom of the plot. Mr. Belmont wanted to bo chairman of the foreign affairs committee—a position that was given ex-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania—anil he asked the members of the New York delegation to aasist him. Mr. Hewitt turned the cold shoulder to his colleague, and did all in his power to advance tlio interests of Mr. Cox, who wanted the plaoe. In consequence the relations existing between Mr. Belmont and Mr. Hewitt are not cordial. It is surmised that Mr. Bolmont, boing in the way of heariug the very latest diplomatic news, was told of Mr. Hewitt's indiscretion and whispered it in the ear of some few of his numerous friends. The foreign affairs committee of the house will be asked to investigate the mattor, and it is not improbable that Mr. Hewitt will himself r.se to a question of personal privilege aud make an official explanation.

The Weekly Times ia altogether different front the weekly newspapers of twenty years ago. The day of those papers it gone by. The telegraph and better local newspaper* everywhere, especially in the thriving centres ol rural population, have made the old weekly metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those hat cling to their ancient usages have lost (heir hold on our forward-moving people ; they are but shadows of their former greatness, and they have but a t-hadow of their former power. Those papers have had their usefulness, but it is gone; and, with It, they are going, too. It was not the foult of the papers: it was the improvement of the country that brought about the change.
