APPOINTMENTS.

The National lntcDigencer of Thursday,
7th inst, says:
"The Hon. John c. Calhoun of South
Carolina, was yesterday nominated to the
Senate by the President of the United
States TO fill the Office of Secretary of
State, and, before the Senate adjourned for
the day, the nomination was unanimously
con6rmed.'
This is an appointment with which we
can conscientiousy congratulate the coun-
try. However we may have differed from
this distinguished citizen on important
questions Of domestic policy, we are happy
in the belief that, in the station TO which
he has been called, under circumstances
we'll calculated TO natter an honest pride
in him, he will do honor TO himself and to
his country. .c.0"t
The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore American writes, under date OF
March 9th:
at is said that John Y. Mason, of Va.
will be nominated tc the Navy Department
1t also said that court of inquiry has
been ordered. composed of Messrs. Bolton
Aulic, and Ramsey of the Navy Depart.
ment, to investigate the terrible calamity
on board the Princeton.
Silas Wright has been offered the va
cancy upon the bench of the Supreme
Court, and his frienos say that he has posi-
lively declined.
Mr.. Calhoun has been nominated by
the advice of his friends. Mr.. McDuliie
and nearly all of them, and the general pre-
sumption is that he will accept. Indeed
it is said, there is no doubt of it.
Governor Wilson Shannon, of Ohio
was yesterday nominated by the President
TO be minister to Mexico; and Capt. w
c. Bolton, United States Navy, to be chic
of the bureau of construction and repair

USThe lizards" rcsortcd TO a contcmr
ible trick in St. Louis, the other day, to
make a little capital for their tumble-bug
master. A meeting was appointed for a
jackson Jubilee TO celebrate the old he
ro's birth day, and the refnnding of the fine
imposed upon him by Judge Hall. The
"Softs' and the "Hards" had each appointed
a meeting at the same place, the former al
three O'Clock in the afternoon, and the latter
at night. The "hards" were fearful of a
failure, and proposed that all should meet at
three o'clock and continue during the eve
ming, and that it should be purely a Jackson
Jubilee. The proposition was acceded to
by the "softs." The meeting came on, and
the "hards" got the start Of the "softs" in
the appointment of committee to report
resolutions for the consideration Of the
meeting, it being composed Of a ma ority
of softs. The report Of the committee
was read and among the resolutions was
one praising Col. Benton, which Of course
kicked up row. The President of the
meeting is said TO have only called for the
ayes on the resolution, motioned 10 the band
of music in attendance to play W, declared
the resolution adopted and the meeting adj
iourned, in the same breath. The resolu-
ton was afterward put to the meeting and
voted down by reclamation. The "sof,s'
held meeting in the evening of the same
day, at the Court House, at which Messrs
Hudson, Blennerhasset and Treat made
speeches, and fully exposed the meanness Of
the Bentonians. Drowning men," &c.

CONGRESS.

Congress has now been in session three
months and half, and in all this time they
have consummated no act but the one TO
refund the fine paid by General Jackson in
1915, and the act (Which the President has
Informed Congress is Of no avaiD for au.
thorizing certain transfers of appropria-
tons in the Naval service. The session
will continue until the first of June, and
probably longer. The character of the
present Congress will probably account
for this waste of time; on this subject we
copy the following from a late number Of
the New York Express:"
"HousE OF REpREsENrArIvEs.- ap
pears to be collection OF the lowest, the most
ill.bred members in this body at the present
time, that have ever come together as legislative
delegates from any or all the States, since the or.
ganzation OF the government. Many Of those
who occupy seats in the House would not be ad
mitted into respectable society, If from no other
objection, for the total want OF dcccncy Of man.
ners. And it seems as if the character OF the
men must have been known at the commenc.
ment OF the session or they would never have
chosen such miserable tool for Speaker-a
man utterly destitute Of the energy OF character
which the Office requires or else hR,self mem.
Der OF the BLACKBOARD school, ndiherefore with
great propriety appointed to preside over the de.

ceedings OF the House, we have no recollection o
having known him, in the most digracefu scenes
which occurred, as calling member to order,
who was violating all the rules of the House, o:
well as those OF good manners and even com
mon decency. This is a state Of things that
cannot be endured. Those parts OF the country
where the rules OF good manners and civility are
better observed, and where member OF legis

violations Of order and decency, would be ex
PEELED from the House, will net willingly submit
TO the gross abuse which their representatives arr
subjected to from the vulgar, bullying conduct o
men who are not more than half civilized in lhe
manners and are more than half savages in thei
dispositions. This exhibition OF coarseness and
brutality Of conduct is more likely in the enc
TO destroy the government, and break up the
Union, than all the noise and buster abou
slavery and abolition. In our judgment, thu
members from the old States would be justified il
giving notice TO the House, that unless the rule!
Of order and decency OF manners are enforced
) and they are protected against insults while the,
are in session, they will leave their Seats and re
fuse to attend to the public business. The con
sltution and laws have been already trampe,
under foot during the session, in the case Of tn
persons admitted 10 seats in the House who wer
not legally elected and it would not be strang

The ST. Louis Transcript says: "The
Insurance Companies of this place have
determined to effect no insurance upon any
boat or cargo, under the command of Capt.
Walter of the Mary Tompkins, or C. H.

their objection is the report of Capt, Spar.

officers overloaded their boats, on their

official remonstrances TO the contrary.

derstand from those who are well &C.
quain,cd with the political history of the
county, that if the wings will act unitedly,
and bring out their whole strength, they
can succeed by majority Of over one
hundred. 1t is to be hoped they will suffer
no local questions TO divide them, or per-
sonal preferences cause dissension in their
ranks, but will unite in giving vigorous

1.-THE editor of the pilot" in late
number of his paper, took the editor of the
Reporter" TO task for misrepresenting
Maj. C. F. Jackson, on the subject Of the
currency bills, districting the State, and
equal representation, and calls upon Mr..
Treat, the junior editor of the Reporter
who was at Jefferson City during the last
session of the Legislature, to "refiesh his
memory" and he "will find that Maj. Jack
son is, and has been, right, upon all the i'm
portant questions now before the people
Mr.. Treat has refreshed his memory" and
recoliec,s that at the beginning of the ses-
sion, Maj. Jackson was opposed to district
ing the State; that he afterwards became
the advocate of districting, and assisted in
preparing bill, but when that bill was pre-
sented, he opposed it, much TO the aston
ishment of his friends! The junior editor
of the Reporter gives his recollection of
Mai. Us course on other subjects, and con.
cludes as follows
Such is our recollection OF the facts-that he
was opposed, SO far as his action in the House
was concerned to the District Sysem-that
whilst he contended for equal representation, he
opposed the only mode in which it could, with
any degree Of probability, be effected-that he
did not vote on the bill providing for call OF a
Convention-and that he was the champion OF
two OF The currency bills"
1t will require all the Majors eloquence
and justification, as we'll as the assistance
of his two organs in this county-and they,
all combined, notwithstanding their adroit-
ness in writing, and responsiveness in
speaking, will fail to convince majority of
the citizens of Howard county, that he sis,
and ever has been, right, upon all the i'm
portant measures before the people,"
