1t has been stated in the St. Louis papers more
than once, that John Frnk could dictate to the
Post Office Department in all that related to the
mail routes of five six States of the North
West, and If there be any truth in this, it is
equally true that he practiced the same dcta-
ton, whatever it may be, during every Admin
istration for ten or fifteen years past. Fitz
Henry Warren passed over the route between
Chcago and Galena some time last summer,
and il would not do that he should be allowed
to occupy scat in the public stage in company
with common travellers, but new Coach was
ordered out with four horses, for his exclusive
use, with private instruction to Agents, along
the line to send him through as fast as horse
flesh could carry him. Who will wonder then
that Mr. Warren should have expressed his
qualification, at various stations along the route,
at sthe excellent time they made" Who dare

AHoTuER "iLLusTRIoUs TRIsoSER.'-The
African Prince, Add ell Kader, who surrender
ed to the French forces in Algcrs, on condition
that he should be permitted to reside where he
pleased except in his native land, is still! treach-
erousy confined in French prison. The Brit
ish Marqhs of Londonderry has taken great
interest in him, and is very active in endeavor-
inc to obtain his release. About year ago
the Marquis commenced a correspondence with
Louis Napoleon for this purpose, which has been,
continued till the present time. Lately the
correspondence has waxed spicy, partaking
somewhat of the tone of Webster's letters 10
the Austrian Minister.
Lord Londonderry first moved in this qucs-
ton, after n visit which he made to the prison
of Add el Kader, by addressing long letter of
remonstrance and entreaty to LOUIS Napoleoni
to which he received an evasive reply, protest
ing sympathy with the prisoner, and desire to
discharge him as soon as events would permit.\
The long delay induced another appeal, with
strong representation of the right of the Emir
to liberation, on the ground that he surrendered
only special pledges, that he should be per-
mited to land at any place, out Of Africa, at
pleasure which pledges it is affirmed, were
made by Gen. ,LamoricIere, the commanding
gentleman of the French forces in Algeria, with
the knowledge and approval of the Due ID
Aumale, the son of the then king of the French,
He drops the conventional terms of courtesy
and directly accuses the Due D'Aumale of
g princely weakness ard Gen. Lamoriciere
Of want of generosity and good faith.
The General has gone to London to demand
satisfaction for the insult, and the Duo de Nc
hours, in behalf of his absent brother, the Due
D 'Aumale, has pronounced these charges
and "repels them with contempt
The Marquis has publicly engaged, in one eff
is letters, in case the Ernir is not released,
, publish the correspondence with the Due
''Aumale and Gen. Lamoriciere, to establish
e want Of faith of which he accuses them.
In the mean time, the brave Emir, whose fate
lctes SO much feeling in the generous Eng
hman, languishes in captivity, with little
'pe Of ever being liberated. &'pis ffss.s

IGNORANT OR DISHONEST.

This is the caption Of an article in Saturday 5
Tribune, in which the editor endeavors to make
out, that we are ignorant or dishonest in accus.
ing the Washington Republic of opposition to
Kossuth. We made this charge against the or
gans ofsthe Administration including among
them the Republic. We are sustained by the
course Of those journals, the testimony Of the
New York Herald Neutral) and by the Ian
guage Of the Republic.
In speaking Of the Kossuth demonstration in
New York. the editor of the Republic s,ys:
at is likely enough that we have not given
way to the entusumasu which has been man.
Tested by certain New York journalists in this
connexion for we have not the same facility
nf comprchending fairs by intuition, or Of drc-
ding ey eathedra on the merits Of rcvolu'onsts
and prima dOnnas. which gives such decided
and cmDhatc tone to the sp.cnlations of our
commercial cotemporarics. We have freHurnt-
" sbserved that the good people Of The United
States remain quite cool and collected under
events that conyulse the city Of New York 10
the centre and we should not he surprised If
the renny newspapers derive an ample harvest
from getting uD Kossn'h excitement in that
metropolis, without rufling the surface Of af-
iatrs IN Virginia or Tennessee.
Will the editor Of the Tribune analyze the a.
bove and give us the benefit of his experiment
In reply to an article of five columns in
The New York ssConrier'' (whicl denouncing
Kossuth, the New York Herald furnishes an
article in the following strain:
We find that all these newspaper attacks nnnn

A CARDINAL.-The following is extracted

"What will our people say to a cardinal in

ing he has received? Yet such is theta at
the Vatican they say the matter was decided
upon on the 10th of Octorber."
Well, what if Cardinal Of the United States
should be appointed, and what if that Cardinal
should be Bishop Hughes We see no
good reason why these two things should not
be, or why it should be matter for much
wonderment. We presume that the Catholic
Church have as good right to regulate their
own church government as have any other
denomination of christians in the country
This appointment of a cardinal to the United
States, seems great bugbear to some people
