! It was at one time, the determination OF the
administration to punish Mr.. Cambrelcng for
uniting witt, the Loco Focos, and the Job Has
kell party of the city Of New York; out, as
the result of the election in that city showed
that the Loco Focos were too strong to be
sneezed at, Mr.. Cambreleng was taken back
with the Evening Post, and to pacify his cha
grin. and to CRAFTY his ambition, he was pro-
NOTED to the Craftsmanship Of the Ways and
Means. do not doubt, he will ably dis
charge the duties assigned him, and come on
with triumph. Mr.. Canbreleng, is an able
man, a good speaker and perfect political
trimmer. -
The world of fashion and beauty ofthe city
was out to day; and among the iarcst and
brighest of the fair ones, noticed a young

For the last three years, to my knowledge,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1885.
One of the stirring subjects, which has oc.
cupied the public mind all summer, having
now found its way into Congress, predict
that it will not so easily find its way out a
gain. tits indeed, brought specially before
that body by the paragraph in the Message
concerning the circulation OF incendary pa
pers and pamphlets through the mail. The
members from the slave holding holding
States intend to make some stand on that sub
iect. So that although the Wrentham Peti.
ton presented by Mr.. Jackson has been the
immediate cause of the existing agitation in
the House, it is not the sole cause. 1t has
precipitated, and brought on prematurely, a
debate, which must sooner or later have come.
And fear these Petitions will, if they con-
tinue to be sent, continue to keep alive, and
even augment the heat and bitterness OF the
South; and have bad effect on the mutual
relations of the North & South. Some of the
members from the South go off like rocket,
the moment the word slarery is uttered in
Congress. The Petitions themselves are so
worded as to aggravate and excite the sensl-
bilty, which the Southern members naturally
and universally feel in reference to this
subject. They are not mere business papers,
as they should be, to lead to any useful end,
and would be if they were composed by men

diatribes on slavery, couchcd in the inflama-
tory and Incorporate language characteristic
of the publications of the Anti-SIavery Socie-
ty. This fact, say. affords some apology
for the warmth Of the Southerncrs.-A the
same time, it must be confessed, that the lam
guage and temper Of some Of those gentle
men are ill-calcuated to calm the raging fe-
yer Of ultrasm, which seems to have seized
upon the whole people of the United States.
