The fight between Secretary Marcy and the
hard shells was on the Collectorship, and al
though he succeeded in excluding Augustus
Schell. the appointment Of Daniel S. Dickinson
we should suppose. would be still nore unpa-
latable to the Secretary Of State. The difference
is, that. instead of subordinate officer, the COM
mander-in-chief of the hard shells, (who, more
than any other man, is responsible for the defeat
of the movement for the nomination Of Gov
Marcy at Baltimore.) is made the Collector Of
this port. We presume that Mr.. Dickinson will
accept. He will make faithful and capable
officer, or his past distinguished public services
60 for nothing.
But the skeptical in Marcy's generous dispo-
sition to compromise this difficulty think that
his consenting to the nomination of Dickinson
may be but q trick at last. The Collectorship
may interfere with Dickinson's aspirations for
1856. He may, therefore, decline it. Perhaps
Marcy feels pretty certain that he will; and, in
that event, having made the utmost concession
to the hard shells, he may yet secure the ap-
pointment of soft she'll Augustus Schell
seems to have some misgiving Of this sort; for
we understand that he has telegraphed his
friend Dickinson to accept the Collectorship, at
all hazards What says Mr.. Dickinson? Shall
we have the fight over again, or not?
Mr.. Schell. it seems, failing in the Collector
ship, declined anything else in our city list,
and is. therefore. left out entirely. Perhaps he
may be offered something else or he may be
satisfied with the triumph which he has
achieved for the hard shells, notwithstanding
he gets no share of the spoils. Something
ought to be done for Mr.. Schell.
Mr. Charles O'Conor, as District Attorney,
is the next most prominent and satisfactory
nomination for the hard shells. We trust it
will meet the approval even of Prince John
Van Buren,. The sons of the Emerald Isle will
certainly appreciate the compliment
Abraham T. Hillyer, for Marshal. will do;
but we have not yet been informed whether
Captain Rynders consents to this branch Of the
compromise or not.
John A. Dix-next to Marcy and the Van Blu
rens the most conspicuous Of the barnburner
soft shells-no man will question as a first
rate practical appointment for Sub-Treasurer
But for his free soil alterations and procli-
vities, for which, it is said, he has repented,
he might have occupied ay one of the very
highest positions under the government at
Washington. AZ an offset to Daniel S. Dick
inson Mr.. Marcy will doubtless console himself
that General Dix is a Rowland for an Oliver.
We have already given full account of Mr..
Heman J. Redfeld-a makeweight to the soft
shells, and the Premier particularly, for the
loss Of the Collectorship. He has, too the
authenticated certificate Of an old fogy, which
is better than all.
Mr. Conrad Swaekhamer for Navy Agent, is
not SO widely known. We have asked for in
formation concerning Mr.. Swackhamer. Can
Hon. Emanuel B. Hart furnish US with his life
and public services? Swackhamer is a strong
name. any how.
John Cochrane, for Surveyor, has been an
active politician, around the edges and has the
reputation of being pretty strong soft shell.
Isaac v. Fowler for Postmaster is respect
able appointment We hope he will prove him
self worthy successor of Mr.. Brady, and hur-
ry up the mails.
And thus the work is done at last. 1t was
great issue, that of dividing the spoils Of this
Empire City. The fate of the democratic party
in this State-the fate of the cabinet, and Of the
party throughout the Union, hung upon the divi-
sion ofthese spoils Their distribution was task
Of nice and difficult responsibility. And when
we find that the chiefs of the bard shells and
soft shells had to be brought in to the rescue we
can appreciate the magnitude Of the occasion in
the cabinet. The entire schedule is another
striking illustration of the tact and saving dis
erection Of Gen. Pierce.
Now, let the seven or eight hundred wings in
Office here turn their attention to the sweets of
private life Or, if they have taste for adven-
ture, let them look at the number Of ships that
are up for California and Australia, and the re-
cent intelligence of the astonishing quantities
of gold daily turned up in those outside coun-
tries. And let the hungry democracy be civil,
and keep cool, in their scramble for the plumber
which the poor wings must disgorge.
Finally, if Governor Marcy should conclude
to go to England, we shall yet have a reorgan-
cation Of the cabinet, resulting from the contest
on the New York Collectorship.
