NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

We clip the following from the editorial CO.
lumn Of the New York American though an
extract from that journals f" Occasional Wash
ing,on Correspondence" yet we suppose the
writer is in the secrets OF the ''prison house"
from the position given his letter, and from
various indications in its context:
You will have the news Of Mr.. Wises appoint
mcnt As Minister TO Rio Janero, without, perhaps,
percbviOg any particular reason why he should be
con6rmed, after the reflections have and yet
hope TO sec. ! cannot enghten you, unless the ru-
NOR that Mr. w. is much out Of health and that q
voyage 70, and residence in, more genial climate
may essentially benefit him. shall have had weight
with the Senate.
Can it be possible that the majority in the
Senate have such kind regard for Mr.. Wise's
health, that the "weight" Of such considerations
as alluded 10 has induced them to preml him to
take up his "residence" in a more genial
clime," with the hope that it "may essentially
bene6t him 2" And was Mr.. Profit rejected
because he had recovered his "beallh y We
think the writer must be mistaken, else from The
great number Of Projections we have seen" the
Senate must have il in contemplation TO provide
for a host OF sickly friends of the President
No, no we will not believe that any such con-
siderstions had "weight" with grave Sc
majors, whose duty it is to remedy defects
in the IL VS., instead of prescribing for individual
invalids. They deemed Mr.. Wise "honesl
and capable, and confirmed him, regardless of
the surmises and taunts Of the indiscreet Wbia
papers.
But the writer speaks of reflections "pe
yet hope 10 see" Is there "any particular rea-
son" for hoping there will be more rejectious 2
We had hoped, for the credit Of Senators,
and the honor Of our form Of Government, that
the axe would now be stayed. save in case. ad-
hitting such grounds for rejection as the Con-
sutut'on contemplated. In such a vas, Repub.
i'c as ours, more or less proHgate individual,
will, from time to time, BY means of deceitfuI
practices, obtain Office from the NEST guarded
Executive. These, however capable they
may be, are never "honest, - and should alvav.
be rejected by the Senate. And no Execuliv.
can object 10 such action, FOR it would be con
servat've Of the integrity of the Government,
But when men who are universally acknow
lodged 10 be both "honest and capable are re-
Jccted simply Tor the purpose OF striking blow
at the Executive, however injurious it might b,
TO the stability of our institutions, and the wei
fare OF the country, nevertheless il would be bu
natural Tor the Executive to Strike back.p A
President woul1 be just as UNSUITABLE in eject
ing from office every friend of the majority il
the Senate, as the Senate would be in rejecfine
every friend Of The President. This, we ar,
sure, Is the opinion Of every candid man.
Therefore there are no unreasonable rciec
tons thai ne 'HorE YET TO sEr.n

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH SPECIAL
ENVOY

II. b. M. ship Vestal of twenty-s six guns.
Captain Charles Talbot, arrived early last even
ing fro England, with the Right Hon. Richard
Packenham, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Plenipotentary from the Court of St James,
on board, as passenger. She left Plymouth on
the 10Th ultimo, the same day that the Europe
left Liverpool and, therefore brings no later
news. But we have received by her the Lon.
don Erening Nail Of he 18th ultimo. The Yes
tai was boarded by our news-boai five miles south
Of the Highlands, where she was left at an
Choir She has experienced very severe weather
on her passage-more particularly on the 25th
and 26th ultimo. On the former day she was
struck by sea, which sprung her bowsprit and
Knocked away the forecastle netting. And,
again on the sth inst, only one hundred and
sixty miles from Sandy Hook, she met with a
terrific snow storm, which drove her away to
leewsrd.
This clipper sloop-o i'll be up TO the city
this morning when Mr.. Packenham will land.
Its said that he will leave Immediately for
Washington, to enter upon negotiations on the
Oregon Question. We suppose that the Yes.
tai will remain here 10 take home the Hon. Nh
Fox, the present British Minister 10 this country

ARRIVAL OF MR.. PACKENHAM.

Ii will be seen by the extract we give from
the New York Herald, that Mr.. Packenham,
the British Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipo,entiary, has arrived at New York. ana
will reach Washington Immediately.
Mr.. Packenham, il is generally KNOWN mas
been sent by the British Government TO this
country, to engage in a negotiation for the set
element of the Oregon Question. That there
exists much feeling, nay, excitement, both IN
the United States and Great Britain, arising
from the conflicting claims of the two countries
10 ,he Oregon Territory, embraced within certain
limits, i, would be useless to deny. But that all
difficulties will be amicably settled, and the claims
Of both countries satisfactorily and honorably
adjusted, on the principles of justice, ii is beco-
ming 10 all good men to hope.

GEN. JACkSON'S FINE.

The bill to refund the fine imposed upon Ge-
neral Jackson at the time of the attack and de-
fence of New Orleans in 1915. and which met
the approval of the House OF Representatives
on the eighth of January last by vote of l5s
10 20, was disposed Of favorably by The Senate
to-day. An Intellectual effort was made yester-
day to amend it by adding proviso, that
nothing contained IN it should be construed
70 express or imply any censure OF the con
duct or character Of the Hon. Dominlck
A. Hall, by whom the fine was imposed. Du-
ring the last session similar amendment to the
bill reported by the late Senator Linn,
was adopted in this branch Of Congress,
but the friends Of the measure pref, rred a re-
lection to an adoption in the form which il was
thus made to assume. However, on this occa-
sion, patriotism, gratitude, and justice tr-
umphed over every other consideration and
the bill was passed. That it will receive
the Executive sanction is certain; for the
President, in his annual message delivered TO
Congress in 1912, recommended that this sub
ject be taken into consideration, and expressed
the sentiment that ait can hardly be doubted
that il would be highly gratifying to The war
worn veteran, now in retirement and in the
winter Of his days, to be relieved from the cir
cumstances in which that judgment placed him.

THE OREGON QUESTION.

II there was any doubt be ore, as TO the erpedien
cy OF adopting me assures at the present session Con
gress with view to precip,taie a solution of this
question, that doubt il removed by the intelligence
just received, that MIR. Paokenham the newly an
pointed Envoy from England to he United States
charged with full powers to negotiate an adjustment
OF the dispute. II is desirable IN every pont of view
that the question should be adjusted without delay
But the way to adjust speedily safely aud we'll is
not by the adoption Of harsh measures. We believe
tins Is the only boundary question between the United
States and England which remains unadius,ed and
the success which has attended former negotiations
ofhe kind, should encourage to enter upon this with
the expectation OF favorable result The linn IL han

we have seen with much regret the Controversy
which has boon gotten up and carried on in the Globe
between friend Of Mr.. Polk and friend of Mr.
h'ng m relation to the VIC. Presidency. The man.
Der OF conducting that correspondence can certainly
do no good TO our party, or to either of the d;.n

brought before the public. We ask them to abau
