Gen. Pierce Gov. Marcy or Gen. Cushing, either BY
himself OF all three together, would have made much
better list iflet to do so undturbed by personal Claims
ard solicitations; but, considering all things we are
thankful that they have done worse They were OBJ

that other for the character he had worn threadbare
in securing them their present elevations here vas one
who possesses local influence, which he might turn
against the Administration if denied some good post;
there was another who had himself out of favor at
home BY sticking to the party righ wrong, and he

Southern and Western Elections TO take place in August
We hope Prince John viii be the lucky man. He has
more brains than any competitor, did more work for
Pierce and Paris and he will suit each other exactly

him do it without hesitation apology, and he will gain
strength by it even at the South.
Mr.. Marsh is Left undisturbed as Minister Resident
al Constantiuope, but be will soon be superseded
probably b. Dabney s. Carr Of Maryland, who formerly
held the post That fashion Of restoration is generally
bad one but it sometimes seems partisan necessity
Five Charges are LEFT unchanged as yet Major Cass
(son Of Gen Cass) at Rome where he will of course
remain as long as he sees fit Prof Hlddock (nepheE
of Daniel Webser) at Lisbon, which he will probably
keep likewise as be and his rendered Gen. Pierce i'm

law Of Col Seaton of The National IatelgeneeT, whom
il is doubtless considered good policy 70 leave unds
tubed, at Stockholm; besides the ocumbents at Boz
goa and Ecuador, whose places nobody probably was
wiling to take as yet Bysnd-by, some Of the Dllayes
and Dsneys who have been badly beaten in the recent

We think Humphrey Marshall will De let alone in
China for the present The Office is humbug, with no
earthly but to stop some ones mouth with $4,000
year and like outfit but who that is ft TO wear
even the title Of Minister to go TO China for
$1,000, or even double that sum By-sndby somebody
will have to be put out Of the way somehow, and he will
be furnished with $1s,O 900 and of Minister TO
China; when be will take the money and III shrewd

handsome spec out of it, Why shOEld he 90 TO China,

If he is cautious and reserved he may keep up the de-
lusion through the four wears that he can stay there
he chooses.
Mr. SouLE is man of talent, genuine orator. and,
having been born in Paris probably knowshow to speak
French-a Diplomatic Accomplishment. wherein our
ENJOYS are generally deficient. Many consider his ap-
poiDtnent great mistake, because Of his notorious
Filhbustering propensities we DO not l. our In
