actually been seen with money. Suspicious

everything is done by back biting and quibbling.

is over, how he happened to get what he got.
The Second Washington, who has removed
Col. Weller from the Mexican boundary COM
mission and put COL Fremont in his place,
when asked if there had been any charges
preferred against Col. Weller, replied: +"
don't know that that is altogether a proper
question for me TO answer / don't put my
self on the stand about such matters" We
think when the Senate comes together, and
this removal and appointment comes up. he
will " be put upon the stand" and be put to
his trumps, too. Tickling the great Missou-
rian is not going TO secure his vote, il we know
anything about him; and if it does, it will
drive off others sufficient to make matter for
cool reflection all about the board in December
next.
We notice that relatives of members of the
Senate are freely provided for without distinc-

austrian Mission to america We learn
that The Austrian Government have sent dis
tinguisbed mechanic TO this country, to inspect
our steamships, naval depots and machine
shops-to collect drawings of locomotives,
steam presses, sc. &c.
This is the third foreign mission of the kind
that has visited this country within the last
ten or twelve years. The first mission was
from Russia, and resulted IL the construction
of the splendid steamship Karnschatka. That
mission was composed of three experienced
naval officers. The second was from Brazil ;
and the third is the above from Austria.
We can furnish the governments of Europe
with models and plans in abundance. In a
few months our ship builders and machine
makers will turn out a few steamships that
will probably astonish them.-N. Y. Herald.
