A VERY NICE "FAmILY PIE."-A bill is now
before the Senate entitled ga bill for ascer-
tanning and paying California claims" and APP
proPriates nearly a million for this object. If
the bill passes, and it is supposed it GER
tainly will, ex-Lieutenant Col Fremont, and
Mr.. w. c. Jones, sons,in-law of Col. Benton
and Randolph Benton, a son Of Col. B. are to
have the leading Offices in the commission.
In fact Col. Fromont's place is secured in the
bill itself. Perhaps itstitIe ought to be chang
ed to that ola bill for the benefit Of the Benton
family.

Of our readers will feel it a duty incumbent
on them to come forward and fill up the vacant
place. A glance at its cuts (and some Of them

Gen. TAyLoR's OWN OPNroNs.-Wc give
this week a letter from Gen. Taylor to Capt.
Allison, which is genuine and gives his opin-
ions correctly. We unfortunately let an article
from the Baltimore Sun into our paper without
the PREDATORY remarks that we intended for it.
The remarks should have been these. The
Baltimore Sun, from which tho article below
comes, is q paper that, like the N. o. Delta.
and others, underline gniso Of neutrality, new
or loses an opportunity Of helping along the
Locos and %injuring the Wings. The letter al
luded to is from a Mr.. Campbell, of Tenn,
and only gives his impressions derived from a
conversation with Gen. Taylor, and is intend
ed 10 injure him with the wings. We publish
II only to contradict the reports on the streets
and in the county, that Gen. Taylor has writ
ten such a letter to Gov. Brown.

The DISTRICT CoNvENrIoN.-Should the pro-
posed Convention come off at this place on the
Cd N onday Of May, it will be necessary for
the citizens Of this county TO appoint delegates
to it. This they can easily do by Appointment
from each precinct. Should it not, we believe
we can say that the wings Of this county who
are in favor Of being represented in the Ma
tlonal Convention, are DESTROYS that the Hon.
P. ". Tompkins should act as their delegate
leaving his action to his own discretion. As
he expressed his own views clearly during the
canvass, and received a larger vote than the
wing strength, w presume that he is su ffcien-
tly informed to represent US fairly. No one
doubts his ability or integrity.

CAVE JoHNsoN's MISUNDERSTANDING true
cause Of the irregularity in the receipt Of news
papers and other documents sent by Cave john
sons mails, which is the source Of so much
grumbling and complaint from the people and
the press, was satisfactorily explained to US
a few days since. On visiting our post Office
we were shown by Mr., Gray, an accumulation
Of packages for the country below, which
cannot be transmitted, by the facilities now
afforded him by the Department, for weeks to-
come even should no additional mailable
matter for that route come to hand, Now,
this is ashocking bad arrangement, and as Cave
has paid no attention whatever to Mr.. Gray's
letters on the subject, we think the people Of
this part Of the state should take the matter
in hand, through their representatives in con-
gress.-Raymond Gaaete. t7n i

Mr.. CLAy's LETTER-The Wasiinton Cor

himselfa Wing and well Informed politician,
thus notices Mr.. Clay's recent Address to the
Public!,
Mr.. Clay" letter has produced some senaa-
ton here. Among those who have contribu-
ted to put HIM in his present position, are not
more than six members Of Congress. | can
vindicate the Wing members of Congress from
the charges Of having contributed to Mr..
CIay's delusion. AS to the prominent wings
of the district, who were with MI. Clay while
he was here, they can be relieved also from the
faulty which his address attributes to the
wing party. So far from having solicited Mr..
Clay to become again a candidate, and repre-
senting to him that the Wing party could not
exist without him thoyhave uniformly rcpresen-
ted to those with whom they have conyersed
and with manifest sincerity Of belief, that Mr..
CLAY would not be a candidate for nomination
THAT he would withdraw at a proper time
and there was no expectation that he would be
the nominee. l undertak to say, without fear
Of contradiction, that Mr., Clay's appeal to the
public surprises no one, in this city, more than
some Of those who were entitled to be consid-
cred his strongest and most influential person
al and political friends, and that, yesterday,
they pronounced it to be a forgery!
