TROUBLES OF GEN. PIERCE.-The New
York Express thus considers the troubles
which beset the President in his "Mosaic
constructed' cabinet:
"Presdent Pierce is beset, we see, by diff
ficulties, because, on the start, he attempted
a coalition. TO work such men rs Jefferson
Davis with such men Us VIM. l.. Marcy, that
is, n Southern element of the extreme South
ern school with Northern gentleman, acting
with the Northern Barnburners and Alb
olitionist, and representing them in the
Cabinets an impossibilty; and fthe storm
should blow over now another storm will
brew for such house thus divided against
itself cannot stand very long.-The coalition
is an unnatural one, and the attempt to gov
ern the country with it will turn out vain.
1t will command no real working majority in
Congress when the offices are well distribu-
ted, for "spoils" now alone keep it together,
without "principes," as it Isl without rud-
der therefore, and without any adequate pur-
suit or real direction"

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, April


The calm in the administration of the
General Government will naturally be ex-
tended over the whole surface Of political
affairs in the States. We see proofs of this
on all sides. Gov. Cobb, of Georgia, and
Gov. Foote, of Mississippi, have both agreed
to consign the disagreement Of 1850, between
the Union men and the State Rights men, to
the tomb of oblivion.
The President is rejoiced at the acceptance,
by Judge Bronson, of the ColectorsAip of
New York. He ought to be pleased, for it is
one of the best appointments he has made, in
every respect. The President and the admin
istration were little disconnected by Mr..
Dickinson's rejection of the same office. 1t
is easy to see. that between. Mr.. Dickinson
- =, deep gus now exists.
TheSecretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Guthrie,
is engaged in the investigation and exposure
of public abuses, in his own department He
has explored the recesses of political favorit-
ism, established under the late administration,
and thinks he has found a den of corruption.
1t may prove to be so, but, at present, it looks
more like mares nest.-COr. Char. COur

By reference to advertising columns, it
will be perceived that Mr.. c.. Bell, calls at
tention to his large stock of Drugs, Paints,
Oils. Dye Stuffs, &c. &c. We have lately
been from cellar to loft of Mr.. Bells large
Drug Store, and also visited his Drug Ware
house in another part Of the city, where are
accumulated an immense amount of heavy
articles. We have no hesitation in saying
there is not in Indiana alarger stock oi
things appertaining to this business than
that of Mr.. Bells. He has large capita
invested, so as to keep constantly full sup
plies of everything demanded by an exten
sive wholesale trade, and be able to sell &
the lowest market prices. Country dealers
in this vicinity will find tito their advan
tage to purchase here, instead of visiting di.
tant cities. Many have tried the expert
ment, with satisfaction to themselves.

There are still a large number Of Books
missing from the vanderburgh Co. Library,
for the return of which the Librarian has
advertised weeks past. Now it is necessary
these books should be returned without long
er ceIay. We have no sympathy with those
persons whose literary taste runs in the way
of forming Libraries for themselves, by steal
ing books from apublic Library. The tax for
drawing Books out Of the Vanderburgh, Co.
Library, is mere tri1e, only fifty cents per
annum, yet a number of per sons have abused
this cheaply purchased privilege most sadly.
In the necessary absence at times of the Lii
brarian, (who keeping the Library open at all
hours of every day for the accommodation of
the public, instead of certain afternoon Of
the week, could not be presnt always) a
number of books have been taken away,
without being charged to the drawers. Hon.
or, honesty and common decency, should
have rendered unnecessary SO many calls for
the return of these books. They can be re-
turned either to this Office, or to the present
Librarian at the Railroad Office, over Insur.
ance Office. Some persons doubtless have
Library books in their possession unbeknown
to themselves. We would suggest search
through their private libraries, by those who
have been in the habit of drawing from the
public Library.

They WOULD RErURN.-The Cleveland
Herald gives the following account OF a little
affair which recently occurred at Oberlin,
Ohio. We commend it to the attention of
the abolition fanatics:
Two old women, slaves, who some two
years since were sent out of Virginia to
prevent their sale for debt, had found a home
IN Oberlin. They had several times written
their former Master that they wished to re-
turn to him. and at the length their request
became 50 urgent that he visited Obarlin.-
Here was an opportunity for excitement
which was READILY embraced by earnest abo-
htlonlsts Of that famous town Ii was de-
termined that the slaves should not return,
and the master was so informed He
replied that he had come at their own
solicitation, and not because he wished the
women and that he had no desire to take
them back unless they desired to 60. If
they did so, they would 60 and he should
take care of them. Every argument was
used to induce them to stay, and a cores
pondent OF the Oberlin Times, rank aboli-
ZIONIST sheet, says: 1--WE endeavored to put
the matter before them in the proper light.
We dwelt upon the possible contingencies
In the case. The possibilities of another
execution on their masters property, &c,
Twas all to no purpose.

The New York Times contains list of
one hundred and eleven Democrats who are
employed in the New York custom-house,
who receive, in the aggregate, the sum Of
over one hundred and thirty-one thousand
dollars a year. This fact shows that the
charge of ruthless proscriptiveness brought
against the Wings by the Locofocos is alto
gether groundless. We wonder whether,
at the close of Mr.. Pierces administration,
over hundred Wings will continue to hold
office in the New York custom-house
