The Junior editor of the New York Express
writing from Washington, says the election Of u
Public Printer in the Senate has thrown some
thing worse than lizard shell" or "Soft shel'
into the Administration ranks \ bomb shell
ha- fallen there, and scattered the nucleus of
party forces 10 the Winds There were sixteen
Democratic Senators who promised to vote for
Beverly Tucker, one of whom for reasons, went
to New York 10 avoid doing 10, aud another of
whom was accidentally absent. Mr.. Armstrong
received, among his vote of II, one from Mr.. Bell
on personal considerations, and one from Mr.. Cass
on the same grounds
No event that is likely to happen during the
session can we'll causo moro groans than this one.
The Cabinet got whisper of it yesterday morn

denoucos the act TO day in most imprudcnt
terms for an organ aud pronouncos the thing

The event was hailed with immense rejoicing
by the National Democrats Of New York. one
hundred guns were fired in the Park by order Of
