CoNsULATEs IN THE WEST INDIA IsIANDs.-Now
that there are such a number of gentlemen about
Washington desiring the privilege Of serving
their country, and who. for the sake of doing so,
would have no objection to receive consular ap-
pointments, we conceive it to be very appropri-
ate to publish some facts in relation to the proba-
BILE value of those Offices in the West India
islands. upon which our information is authentic.
And it, after reading them the innumerable ap-
plicants have still patriotism enough to consent
to serve their country at the price, then let them
persist in their praiseworthy efforts. The fol-
lowing schedule and statements may be relied

Talk on ,Cllan1e.

There was now movement of importance to notice
in produce markets yesterday.
Regarding the Coectorship of this port it was said-
What would the public think, merchant appointed

raS And yet the selection of lawyer for Collector Assis
tan Collector, Appraiser, Naval Officer, is equally Alb
surd Merchants say that they always find It difficult
talk to lawyers respecting commercial matters
and that much delay in attempting to make expa
nations while to merchant speaking together in 81
milar cazel would probably understand each other in
Eve minutes.
Merchants also claim that commercial agents, well
consul at important commercial points, should either
be merchants, or have a commercial education They
contend that there larger admixture OF practical
employed in the administration of public AFFAIRS the
public interest would be better served.
II seems incredible to them how ouch cases as the Gal

other frauds could havc been perpetrated under

woolly horse about him, sir" We shouldn't
wonder if Colonel Benton had already made
just such q speech as that to General Pierce, in
confirmation OF Kit Carson's appointment.
Campbell, of Alabama, though reputed as
political salamander of the hottest secessionism,
is generally conceded to be man of superior
talents, and competent legal requirements for
the Supreme Bench; and the movement may
possibly prove to be good stroke of policy, in
consolidating the two factions of the Southern
democracy on the Union platform. We shall
see by and by.
Then, again, we understand the President
has hit upon Mr.. Daniel c. Eaton, of this city,
for Navy Agent He is o retired merchant,
understood to be worth some $500, 900, and in
all other respects qualified and trustworthy
man. If this be SO there is substantial guaran-
toe that, in winding up his accounts, he will
not fall short This is mighty good feature
in the case In all Offices anording large and in
definite margin for pickings and perquisites,
there should, in some shape or other, be Sc
cured in the selection of the officer, protec-
ton against those tempting speculations which
are so very apt to turn out disastrously to the
Treasury Department. And we are gratifed to
say that, in the various responsible appoint
ments thus far made, General Pierce has
evinced a practical purpose. in the choosing, as
far as possible, men whose honesty may be re-
lied upon; and has thus given to the country
an assurance Of his intention to steer clear Of
the Galphins, and all other Jeremy bidders,
and premeditated plunderers of the public
money. Let him adhere to this great principle.
The rampant speculative spirit Of the age i'm
peratively demands it.
We are advised that, in regard to the New
York collectorship, the cabinet have been cast
ing about for conciliatory go-between the
hard shells and soft shells-a halfand-half sort
of chap-and the idea is not bad one. It is
the common usage, in cases Of extreme differ
ences of opinion, in the most trivial and in the
most important affairs, to split the difference.
We are waiting very patiently to see what sort
Of a king the great Jupiter is going to send us
this time-King Log or King Stork. Headsup!
We have, however been speaking Of some of
the satisfactory appointments that have already
been made by General Pierce. They show him
to be man Of judgment and sagacity. We
might. per contra. pick out some Indifferent,
some bad, and some miserable selections; but as
the list will, no doubt. become longer, as the
howl for the plumber becomes stronger, we shall
defer their enumeration for the present. All
things considered, General Pierce, thus far, in
his distribution of the spoils, has been doing
very well; and if the business has been some
what tardily DONE we must recollect that there
are some disappointments to be taken into the
estimate. Put a little more oil on the guillo-
tine

THE SENATE AND THE PREsIDENT.-Tbe Sem
ate hold on. though they have dwindlcd down
to almost less than quorum. 1t is said the
administration want them out of the way be-
fore making certain appointments. which they
may or may not reject In the meantime. the
five or six hundred dollars per day which the
Senate costs the Treasury is something, as
long as they are doing nothing. Let them set
tie their accounts and adjourn. There is no
immediate prospect of war.

arriving without entering, this source 10 much
reduced.
As the port Of ST. Thomas is an Important
place commercially. though the consular pay Is
small, it is to be hoped the present administra-
ton will appoint to 1t an officer capable. in all
respects to represent this country with honor
and respect, and to protect and be benefit to
the large American interests conferred there.
These remarks are made to undeceive persons
seeking appointments in the West indies and
we commend them to the serious attention OF
all interested. We expect the publication Of
them will create regular stampede among the
aspirants to consular dignity now besieging
the capital.

THE BARR AND BUTLER CoNTRovERsY-We
can follow this affair no farther. The last card
of Mr.. Butler. of two mortal columns and half
in the Journal Of Commerce, blocks the game.
His closing paragraph, however. will show how
the matter stands -
In respect to the offer of Alderman Barr to sub
NIT the question, whether not Ibave been lbelled
by him and General Webb, to the Grand Jury,
most respectfully decline. In reference to the latter
have never had any occasion to ask for any help in
dealing with him. So far concerns the attacks of
Alderman Barr there several reasons for de-
clining his offer. The Investigations, now in pro-
grees, into some circumstances connected with the
composition Of the Grand Jury, win present q state
of things at which all good citizens mnst shudder.

Alderman Barr. His other offences slight import
