A New ORGAN-JoURNALIsM IN WASHINGTON
Messrs. Bullitt and Sargent have engaged in
new enterprise in Washington, but on the same
old and well trodden field. They have started a
new journal, which they call the Republic, for the
purpose of supporting the administration, explain
ing the views of General Taylor, interpreting the
unknown intentions of the Cabinet, and probably
of directing and organizing the various elements
of the wing party throughout the country. This
new paper is the fifth journal-the fifth candidate
for public favor and patronage-whichi is published
in that city of magnificent distances, counting
population of about twenty thousand. The task
is mighty-almost equal to that of making beau
tifu orange or flower garden, or magnificent
field of wheat, in the midst of sandy desert The
democracy publish two organs in Washington
the Union and the Globe. The wings have now
there the hteAigencer, the Uhig, and the Republic
Such multiplicity of organs in one central city is
sufficient to break down any party, and scatter it
to the four winds of heaven. No matter what
talent those gentlemen may bring to the new en-
terprise, they must be supported with vast funds,
in order to enable them to live for several years,
and have measurable success but not alone that,
for their success involves the death and burial of
the Intdhgencer and the Wh,g 1t is utterly mpos-
slblc for so many to live in such narrow and
limited place as Washmg ton.
No journal can attain popularity or endurance
out of the great centres Of population of intelligence
and wealth. No journal can attain steady and
cumulative influence over public opinion in any
other quarter. Its influence will be too local
The journals Of New York are now engaged in
steady movement to extend their influence, and to
give them the widest popularity and all attempts
TO make anything superior to them, even in Wash
lngton will amount to expenditures and efforts for
no purpose. As matters now stand there, no news
paper can exist in Washington without receiving the
wages of corruption from Congress, in the shape
of jobs and gratuites.

The tremendous excitement and uproar which the
English papers assert occurred IN the French Ma
tionaI Assembly, has been grossly exaggerated
and, in fact, dwndles down to nothing at all, as
soon as an unprejudiced person examines the SUBJ
Ject.
The English journals are evidently alarmed at
the new phase which European politics have as.
sumed, and seem to dread the power which the
republican party in the National Assembly will
exercise. That party have compact force of two
hundred and fifty votes; and the relations france
towards the rest of Europe, and especially the me-
nacing attitude of France, will divert the attention
of their number from every thing touching social
ism and the re- organization Of society, to matters
of a wider and more comprehensive nature. They
will be occupied almost exclusively with the TO-
reign relations of France, and never will, if they
prevent it, tolerate the Russians to overrun
the republics OF Europe. They will not only SYM
pathize with the nations that striving for liber-
ty, but In case of Russian interference, aid and
assist them by men, money, and arms.
The moderate republicans in the Assembly are,
and will continue, distracted among themselves,
on minor questions but the radicals will control
the action of the Assembly, and give tone to the
direction of public affairs throughout the whole
European continent If Louis Napoleon desires
to make his administration popular, and TO see
France exercise its legitimate influence in that
quarter of the world in the present crisis he must
sooner or later concentrate the radicals, and rely
upon them for their support in the direction OF the
policy of the republic.
We shall note carefully the proceedings of the
new Assembly, and publish in the columns of the
Herald every debate of interest that takes place
in It.

CUSTOM HOUSE MovEMENTs.-We understand
that Mr.. Maxwell the new Collector, has over four
thousand applications for places in the Custom
House, already before him. He has to read
papers, documents and recommendations, to the
number of twenty thousand, before he can deter
mine whom he shall appoint. Now, the num-
Der of places in the Custom House does not
amount to mole than few over three hundred,
the aggregate emoluments of which amount to
about half million of dollars per annum-perhaps
less.
How, in such dilemma, is the new Collector to
satisfy all parties +? We understand from the best
authority, that not over sixty eighty employees
in the Custom House can be removed, with due
regard to the public business, for the first six
months, and that over one hundred and fifty can
not be removed before two or three years. The
Custom House is great piece of machinery, and
the transaction of public business there, requires
great deal of practical knowledge and skill to con-
duct it prosperously. Probably, therefore, three
fourths of the applicants before the Collector, are
utterly unqualified, and would be unqualified for
years to come, to perform the duties which they
want to engage in. We suppose, however, that
the first removals from the Custom House will be
of those holding sinecures Several lazy editors at
tachedtothe Sunday press, have been enjoying those
snecures, without doing any duty, for years past.
They ought to be cut off, root and branch at once.
Some intlmations given the newspapers ofcer-
tain appointments already agreed upon by the Col
lectcr, and grumblings have already commenced.
We understand, however, that nothing has been
yet determined upon; but we have no doubt that,
in less than one month from the Inauguration of
the new Collector, he will be execrated by the va
rious ciques Of the wing party around town, as
much as Gen. Taylor and his cabinet are by the
chques Of Office holders who have been removed,
and oHicc-begOars who have been disappointed.
The whole clamor and disturbance created through
out the country, have arisen from the office holders
ofthe locofocos, and the disappointed oice-beggars
among the wings. They are all of the same kid
ney, and ought to be put into bag and shaken
well together.
