Jhe JmdgeSitp has been offered to Siias WRIGHT,
and he has declined accepting IT, Ii is presumed
that he has IN this refusal been overruled by his
friends. II is said that Mr.. Wright is immolatipr
himself for Mr.. Van Buren, Thus New York has
been rendered the Judgeship and the Senate has
rejected the appointment. She has again been
rendered the Judgeship, and she herself has de-
clined accepting it, Mr.. Tyler. it is be-
lieved, will turn to Connecticut, and invite Ralph
J. Ingerso the first lawyer in the State, to accept
the office of Judge in the U. s. Supreme Court.

Judge John Y. (not James M. of Winchester) Ma
son, Of Southampton, Va, OF the u: 5. District
Court will be- or has already been invited TO take
the Secretaryship of the Navy II is supposed tina
he will accept
! will venture to predict that Mr.. Jennifer, our
Minister to Austria, and Mr.. Todd, our Minister to
Russia both unfriendly TO President Tyler, will
be shortly recalled. Now then, who are 10 fill
those three great ofices-Ministers to France Rus

ton is becoming more interesting.

Cave Johnson chairman, and Senator Fairfield sec
rotary The chairman was empowered to appoint

In relation to the appointment Of Calhoun to the
State Department, will give you some of the
Washington views and specuatons.
First it is said that Mr.. Calhoun bad Withdrawn
his name from the list OF Presidential candidates,
and his friends had consigned him TO political OBJ
vion. He was dead man. The President, by
an act of great generosity, has revived him from
the dead, and once more brought his name before
the public An act which deserves the gratitude of
Calhoun.
On the other hand, it is said that the acceptance
of this Office under President Tyler can confer no
honor on Mr.. Calhoun. Should he accept, it would
be on his part act of patriotism in the present
the public good his friends hope he will accept.
In the Senate to-day, nothing OF special interest
has been DONE The Fox and Wisconsin river bill
