Beyond the proceedings in Congress there
is no news stirring to-day. You will perceive
that the much dreaded joint resolution, max :
ing the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
a Presidential appointment, is still wnrded
off-the administration being evidently afraid
to come TO Il vote.
Greene G.. Bronson arrived in town this
morning. and receives marked attention.

COLD CoMFoRr.-The Cotton Plant,
most excellent paper, and democratic in its
tendencies, we believe, in commenting upon
the defeat of the administration candidate
for public printer to the Senate, fixes up the
following plate of "cold comfort" for some
of the Presidential appointees:
There is but little doubt that there will be
pretty thorough overhauling of the appoint
ments, and it may prove that some of the
appointees, before it is finished, will look for
the approval of the Senate with no conf
dence at all. If they went to the people,
who are always referred to as the great judges
in such matters, we opine that they would
fare quite as badly Broken down politicians
are amongst them, some of whom the people
have refused to place in positions which are
far less responsible than those to which they
have been appointed by executive favor
Others there are who never went before the
people, and who, if they had, would never
have gone but once. While the mass of
them may get through after fashion, some
of the appointments will be rejected without
doubt, and the election of printer we believe,
tells it to the Administration. The conse,
Quence may be that the President will delay
sending in the nominations, in order that his
friends may hold on as long as possible,
trusting to chances, and the turn of luck for
all approval of his course Upon such de-
pendence rs that we don't believe that he
can look for the approval with confidence,
and although it may be mercy to the ncum-
bents, we shall be sorry to see the sport de-
layed by keeping the nominations up in the
depart Nents for some months to come. Bet
ter send them up ut once, and if heads are tC
fly, let them go. Some of them certainly
should go.

very short time.
This affair, we understand, grew out of

President is in state of great uneasiness
with regard to the ultimate fate of the daring
filibusteros which recently overthrow the
government of Lower California and declared
that State republic. 1t is feared that should
they fall into the hands of the Mexicans they
will be executed with as much non-chalance
MS were the unfortunate Criltcnden and his
associates of the Lopez expedition at Havana
Such proceeding would most assureGly set
the whole of California in blaze, and pro-
badly embro us in an immediate war with
Mexico. The great desire Of the President
is to capture these new filibusteros, and try
and punish them according to our own laws
By so doing their lives would not only be
spared, but we should also preserve inviolale
our treaty stipulaiiens with a nation with
