The fruits of the great victory are likely to turn
into ashes upon our lips Another such victory ana
we are undone. Little did we think last summer,
while stumpng it for Polk, Dallas, Texas and Orc
gon, and reduction of the Tariff that our greatest
troubles to be reserved until after the victory
We told the people of Virginia that if they gave US
Polk and Dallas we would give them revenue
tariff the territory Of Texas, and the whole Of the
Oregon and that would show to the country
that had other and greater to attend to
than this pithul, contemplate, loaing, beggarly,
sinking, barbarian squabbling for the "spoils."-
But we were deceived. The whole issue OF the
victory turns upon the oaves and fishes. The tariff
is forgotten-Oregon is negleced-Texas is secured,
but is only considered valuable from the few paltry
federal Offices there to be created. We in a

Cannae; for we seem to have fewer chances Of es-

II Mr.. Richie is elected, the southern wing OF
the democracy may expect to hold the balance OF
power with the election OF the . Constitution for
the Senate. But Mr.. Richie may be defeated
with the assent of the South, from his uncertain
attitude upon the Sub Treasury question And now
come to the report upon which these specua-
IONS are based We have given you several well
authenticated hints regarding organ for the espe-
clal support OF the Van Buren-Wright men, TO be

that this high functionary declared he did not want
the house at present. but would pay the rent to keep
II closed.
We expect Refill back in few days. and then we
shall try and get him an introduction to Father
Richie. Meantime, Mr. Ryes would confer ia
by telling the purport of his late visit Al
bany, and the result OF his various contradictions
with Gov Wright, and whether he (RIves) is to
throw his friends of the House the scale OF Refill
rice If Refill gets his paper going here, as
informant remarked to to-day, il will dissolve

wise and watchful supervision OF all the odds and

the heavy penalties OF imposition of the tariff OF
1872
The Cabinet have resolved uson introducing the
broom of rotation into the several bureaus Of
the Navy Department; and to do this, it has been
found necessary to send certain indignant old
modores out to sea, to get rid Of them, and their pro-
testations.
We have not been up town this morning, and have
no news as to the dolngs of the Cabinet to-day,
cept that the President and Mr. Buchanan, and Mr..
Walker, had little executive session Of their
to-day, in matters and things in general and Texas
particularly.

row the subject of the grand mineral region Of
Lake Superior, from couple Of gentlemen just in.
