WASHINGTON, March 10,

WASHINGTON, March IL, '63,
Notwithstanding we have had rumors upon ru
mors of war during the last few days, yet, up
this time, there has been battle fought, though
the fighting in this anticipated war ofsextermina
ton, when it does commence, will be all onion
side, as according to usage and custom "to thu
vctors belong the spoils,'' and the opposite part
must yield without groan. In fact many of the,,

by the forelock,'' and rendered their resignation
10 take effect at an early date. This we do
think right, as such course tends to embarras,.
the administration, BY compelling them 10 max.
the appointments 10 ill the vacancies without
having had time to examine into the merits Of tn
different applicants. The appointment Of Pete
CIV ashingtcn has been the only one made a.
yet, excepta few unimportant ones to fill vacan

we learn that several protests have already beer
sent to the President against his retention, but y
we understand the character of Gen. Pierce, he is
not the man 10 pay attention, 10 such things, az
they generally emanate from those disappointed,
1t is stated upon good authority that Col. Benton
some Few days previous TO the Inauguration, waited
upon Gen. Pierce, and in his peculiar manner en-
tered his protest against the appointment of
certain General from NIassachusetts to seat in
the Cabinet, stating that if the appointment was
made the Cabinet would be the most unpopular
one ever formed. After patiently hearing the Col.
though, Gen. Pierce is said to have made the fol-
lowing reply: "That it was matter of surprise
to him to find that those gentlemen who were the
most luke-watm during the canvass, loerc no,o the
most anxious as to the success of the adminiEtra-
tion.'', This was rather damper 10 the Col,

Singular Marriage of the Emperor's Ply
siciau.


The marriage of the physician of Louis Napo-
leon, Dr.. Conneau, is announced. We learn from
The Courier des Etats Unis, that he has, in imita-
ton ofhis royal mast, r esponsed lady thirty
younger than himself. DR.. Conneau, who is said
to be most excellent man, had been the tutor of
this young lady from her infancy, having bestowed
upon her all the tender care and solicitude of q
father. Sometime ago, finding his charge of an
age and in position to be married. he offered his
services IN making for her an advantageous seec.
ton. But have already made my choice, replied
The young lady, and am resdy to be married at any
time. How! reioined the astonished doctor, have
you indeed selected your husbands; and who is the
happy many Its yourself, responded the damsel;
love you with all nay heart, and am now ready to
betome your wife. TOO much surprised at this de-
claration TO believe his pupil in earnest,the doctor
turned it Oft as apleasantry. She insisted that she
was serious; he at length made formal and dis
tnct refusaI'of her hand she had offered him. The
young lady, however, as il seems, well considered
The subject, and her pnrpoge was not to be chang
cd. She reproached her tutor with unkindnesS,
and with a willingness to make her miserable.
The doctor yielded so far to take the subject in
10 consideration, and after consulting with his
master and friend, the Emperor, at length decided
10 acce t the ladys offer and become the happy
husband OF his now happy pupil.

Cor. BENTON AND THE PaEsipENr:---An amusing
story is told Of recent interview between Col.
Benton and President Pierce. The Colonel ex-
pressed himself heartily gratifed at the result of
the election, and very deslons 10 support the new
administration; but he told the President that he
had one man in his Cabinet who would make him
ridiculous--a ''perfect nondescript. sir" said he
la perfect NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. one thing nor
the othe1.,, The Generainqured what gentleman
of his Cabinet had been so unfortunate as thus to
incur his dspleasure. The Colonel named Mr..
Gushing, and launched out inso repetition of his
epithets, which have gwen, not exactly in his
words, but as nearly 50 would be strictly proper;
closing by saying, that he was the only man on
earth who seemed to have been created for the ex-
press purpose of being Tyler man. ~
The President heard his formidable obiuTgations
10 the end, and quietly remarked to the Colonel
that he had been delighted, on reaching Washing
ton, to find so many gentlemen who werequite
Indifferent as to his election, solictous
concerning the welfare of his administration.
Whether the story is quite authentic or not,
cannot say; but it comes from Democratic source.
True or not, it is certainly good.

FnITnRs AND TnCEs.

For the thirty years preceding the adoption le4j-)
Of our present Reformed Constitution the judiciary OF
cur State was with partial and temporary exceptions
the creation OF that adroit and generally able band Of
politicians organized by Martin Van Buren, and popular
" known 81" the Albany Regency The Law practical
IT, was what they III 10 cODsrue declare i. and
the Judges being appointed at Albany, and generally
from the ranks Ofhe most ac,veand servcesble lawyer
partissns of the Regency were quite much inclined
to serve their political creators 70 dispense absolute
snd impartial justice That they consciously and Will
fully perverted the Law we do not believe but that
the strong though unconscious bias Of partsanshp led
them TO twist the Law TO work great injustice.
especially to antiRegcney Editors, We cannot doubt
Consider these facts;
In 1874 our State was visited by political tornado
caused by the refusal Of the Regency to permit a
choice of Electors of President by the People. The
excitement ran high, when the Legislature proceeded
TO choose the Electors and Van Buren, and Crawford
were most Unexpectedly beaten. Gen Root then

the Electors and, on perceiviag that the Adsms AM
