Mr.. buchanan.

It is now asserted as fact that Mr.. BUCHANAN
has declined the mission to England, which he
accepted some weeks ago. The reason assigned
is, a difficulty between Mr.. B. and the Secretary
of State in reference to Instructions. Both gen.
tlemen are known to be aspirants to the Presiden-
cy, and each very naturally feels somewhat jeal-
Gus of the other Mr.. MARCY wishes Mr.. BUcH7
ANAN to 90 to England with his hands tied, so
that he shall gain no eclat by his diplomatic ca
reer, and Mr.. BUCHANAN refuses to serve on such
terms His partizans in Philadelphia have es-
poused his cause, and on the 18th let off little of
their spleen at a dinner gotten up among them
selves The proceedings indicate very rebel
lious disposition towards the Administration.
NS- After the above was put in type, the fol-
lowing paragraph came to hand in the Richmond
Dispatch:
The Washington Union Of Saturday morning
confirms the report that the Hon. James Buchan-
an has finally accepted the mission to England,
and says that Messrs Soule, Gadsden, Borand,
Greene and Bedihger will leave in few days on
their missions.

The Presidents Trip.

President PIERsE, accompanied by Secretaries
DAVIS, GUTHRIE and CUSHING, paid brief visit
to New York last week. to be present at the open
ing of the Crystal Palace. At Baltimore, Phlla-
delphia and other places on the route, he was re-
ceived with appropriate honors. We are pleased
to find that the Wing press so far as we have oo-
served, has not INDUCED in the strain of remarks
usual with Democratic papers whenever wing
President set his foot out of Washington city
But during this progress to New York, it leaked
out that the Executive had progressed into the
suppol. of at least one Wing doctrine-appropria-
tons for internal Improvements. Mr.. DAVIS stat
ed at the Philadelphia banquet that he was in ia
vor of the Pacific Railroad and was congratulated
by Mr.. BUCHANAN on having got so far beyond
his strict construction notions as to be willing tC
appropriate the public money to make it. "Old
Buck" was little severe, however, upon the fire
eater-he went on to talk about the Union, and
said that Wings and Democrats in Pennsylvania
had contributed greatly to roll back the black It'd
of fanaticism and disunion" Surely the old gen
tleman forgot his manners.

The two Popes.

The Washington Union, assuming to itself Pa
pal authority, has formally communicated from
the Democratic church, the .Ne,c York Post and
tho Buffalo Rspubie-two prominent free-soll or
gans. This proceeding, it is shrewdly suspected,
Ia merely ruse intended to influence the August
elections in several Southern States, where the
Democracy are in danger of suffering from the dis
affection excited at the Presidents free-soil ap-
continents. That this is the true explanation OF
the matter seems probable from the fact that i'm
mediately after the communication, the Buffalo
paper received Executive patronage to the amount
of $1,000 or $1,000, in the shape of Government
advertising. The Republic, therefore, is doubt
less well content to be ont Of the pale ofthe true
Chnrch, and has no complaints to make. The
Post, however, turns upon the Union and excom-
municates it. Thus we have the old scene acted
over again. of two individuals, each claiming to
be- the genuine successor of st. Peter and legiti-
mate keeper Of the keys, and each hurting anath-
emas and accommodations against the other
!, does not appear which side the President takes
whether he is for URBAN or CLEMENT--the
Union or the Post. No doubt, he will pursue his
usual policy aud try to conciliate BOTH Unless he
san do So the scism is likely to be as permanent
and general as shasWhich divided the Papal worl'
in the fourteenth century.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MoNUMENT.-The
managers of the Washington National Monument
have hit upon plan in connection with the Crys-
tai Palace Exhibition which will be likely to be
successful in securing handsome addition to their
funds. The New York Commercial says
The managers have appointed special agent
to receive contributions at the Crystal Palace. A
model of the monument is placed there for exhibit
ton, and around it are contribution boxes, of plate
glass, so that each vister may have an opportuni-
ty of casting his mite into the fund for the compile
ton of the work The monument has been built
up to the height of so feet, and when completed
it will be $40 feet high. The total estimated
cost is ST SOC, 900, and 100000 have already
been expended. If each visiter at the exhibition
contributes ten cents, it is supposed that sufficient
funds will be thus raised TO complete the structure.
Perhaps, if the agent provides box for each
State Of the Union, and each foreign nation, whose
industry is represented in the fair, generous ri
valry may be excited as to which can contribute
the most toward the erection Of monument to the
memory of Washington.

Western LunatIc Asylum.

We are requested to state that the apartments
IN the Western Lunatie Asylum are with bat few
exceptions now occupied and to call attention to
18th and 37th Sections, Chapter IS, Code of Vir-
giuis. These require that ,critten application be
made to the Superintendent of the Asylum as to
vhsther there DO a vacancy, and his answer re-
o.;ved before the patient be sent from home.
An observance Of this requirement may not on

o. The city correspondent of the Washington
Republic writes as follows
"But there has been Of late some rafting of the
dry bones of Virginia Democracy. Something is
wrong. The Hon. Paulus Powell, if report speaks
truth, lately failed even to obtain an interview
with the President, much less to secure the mis-
sion to France to Lieutenant Governor Shelton F..
Leake, who would not stoop to accept an appoint
ment as Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands.
The Hon. Mr.. Bedinger, the editor of certain

sing the humble mission, Mr.. Meade has no posi-

In the same letter. the writer says "thatan esti-
mable, talented, and influential Virginia states
man has very recently declared in this city that
the Administration is going wrong; that they
have run counter to the wishes ofthe old line Dem
ocrats of Virginia; that they had alienated many
of them and that they must promptly change
their tactics, or the Democracy of the Old Do
minion would change its relative altitude toward

said, will soon share the same fate. The case is
no better in the other departments.
The language of Gen. PIERCE quoted above, is
an appropriate text to the following brief account
given by the Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce:
eff a friend in need ever asks you to help him
to obtain Governmental office, deny him with all
your might and advise him with all your energy
to abandon the pursuit To have witnessed the

of July, and will DO remembered longer than many
other revolutions which have figured in the col
umns of political journals. New Workers, in
whose immense city there is such an ample field fol-
aman's wits to work in, employing all sorts of tai

of the stratened condition of clerk who is here re-

Carry and SlOO.

A warm contest is going on between thetwo ri
val companies which claim the right to construct
ia railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and
in short time our Government will have to de.
eide the question. The following brief account o
the grants, from the Baltimore american, will
explain the nature of the controversy:
| OF these two charters the elder is the Garay.-
This was granted in March, lS42, by Presiden
Santa Anna to Don Jose de Garay, Mexican cit
izen, extending to him the exclusive power of O.
pening and constructing communication across
the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec, together with the
property in and dominion over ten leagues ofwaste
lands on each side of the proposed road. The
rightsthus conferred upon Garay (and under which
surveys and other works are alleged to have been
prosecuted) he afterwards disposed of to two Brit
ish subjects, Messrs. Manning and Macintosh
who in February, lS49. parted with them to Mr.
P. A. Hargous, of New York, an American cltl-
zen.
! This grant, notwithstanding the decided repre-
sensations in its favor that have been made at diff
ferent times and in varions forms by the Execu-
tive authorities Of the United States, urged there
to by its present American proprietors, Mexico has
since pertinacousy refused to counenance, alieg-
ing its unconstitutonality nformaty, and other
minor fanlts as reasons for her vehement opposl-
ton. The subject of difference thus raised be-
tween the ,Garay grantees, the Government of the
| United States and the Mexican Republic, has at
times worn a very grave and serious aspect, and
the very decided position assumed by the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations of the United States
Senate in reference to>it, will recur to the men,
ory of the reader.
In order, amongst other motives, to exhibit to
the world spirit of hospitality and accommoda-
ton, and that the rejection of the Garay grant was
not contumelious to or distrustful of the United
States, the Government of Mexico has recently
granted another charter Fortified by treaty con-
cuded with the United States, and since sanction
ed by Santa Anna, but not yet ratified by this
Government, to A. G. Sloo and three others, en-
towering them to construct carriage road across
the said Isthmus from the head of navigation of
the Coalzocoalcos River to the Bay of Ventosa on
the Pacific, and upon the completion thereof to
construct railroad along the same general route.
The four grantees have united with themselves
seven other persons, and form the Tehuantepec
Company. by act of the Legislature of Lousiana.
to exist twenty five years with the usual corpo-
rate powers. and to have capital stock of ten
millions divsible into 100000 shares. Such in
brief are the two companies suing for the support
of this Government to their claims.
