REJECTION OF FoREsTI BY THE SANDMAN Go
misunderstanding to all accounts, the Sar-
dinian government has rejected Foresti-ap-
pointed Consul to Genoa by the present Cabinet
-on the ground that he was revolutionist and
an associate OF Mazzini in the recent revolution
airy movement in the peninsula. We have rea-
son to believe that the Spanish government will
reject, for congenial reasons, the appointment Of
Mr.. Soule as American Minister to Madrid; and
we should not be at all surprised if the Neapo-
Titan government were to reject Robert Dale
Owen on account of his socialist and extreme
opinions, as developed during his career in this
country. A curious question and discussion
may spring up from these reflections, which will
lead to some strange and remarkable develope-
ments hereafter.

THE FRENCH MISSION AND OTHER MArrERs-
Judge Mason, of Virginia, appointed the new
Minister to France, will leave, it is said, in a
short time, in the steamer for Havre, on his
way to Paris
Our accounts from Washington intimate that
Mr.. Sanford, the present Secretary OF Lega-
ton now in Paris, appointed by former adj
ministration, will remain in office for some
months, in order to give lessons in diplomacy
and French to the new Minister. After. Mr..
Sanford shall have found Mr.. Mason sufi-
GENTLY au .fait in his mission, we understand
that his place will be supplied by young man,
the son of Dudley Mann, our present Assistant
Secretary Of State. This gentleman, who is
about twenty-five years Of age, has been, it
seems, well educated in the modern languages,
and in some of the primary principles of dplo-
macy; but if he has imbibed some of the abo-
litionist and socialist opinions of Dudley Mann,
senior it is possible that Louis Napoleon, in
imitation of the Sandman government, and in
order to show his teeth to the United States,
may withhold his confirmationto the appoint
ment.
Apropos of the present Assistant Secretary
of State, Mr.. Dudley Mann. This gentle
man, it is well known, has passed some
years in Europe, intimately associated
with the republicans of France, and en-
tertaining the same views with them on
all political subjects. As an exemplifca-
ton of his sentiments in that direction, we
understand that on letter of introduction
from one of the leading abolitionists of the
North, Horace Greeley, Mr.. Mann procured the
appointment of small disciple of that school
to one of the departments at Washington
This is most singular fact in the secret his
tory of Washington appointments; the idea
that an editor who has poured such abuse on
the personal character and name of General
Pierce during the election campaign, should
have such influence in the Department of State
and with the Assistant Secretary thereof as to
get one of his friends appointed to fat office
in the very administration and under the nose
of the President. We have good many more
revelations to make in connection with Dudley
Mann, his antecedents, his doctrines, his asso-
ciates, his views, and his movements at Wash
ington. They will be very amusing and very
interesting to the socialist aud abolitionist par
ties in the North. who are now paramount in
the Department Of State and in the other de-
partments Of the government

The Meeting of Congress---The Speatership
What Say the Union Men!

With the meeting OF Congress we shall have
another Inauguration at Washington not of
new President but Of new epoch in the poll
tical history of the country. The work will
begin with the election Of the Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives; and, unless judi
ciously followed up in reconstruction Of the
Cabinet, and change in their party policy, the
restoration will override and vanquish the adj
ministration
The old party landmarks are broken up.
Their work is accomplished distinctions
between old wing and democratic measures and
principles are destroyed. Beaten in every
battle upon great national issues the wing
party, after disastrous career Of progressive
Generalization, was, in the final struggle of
