that il has actually already accomplished
fcarried) every point il Has made with Spain
upon the Cuba question so far.
The truth is, the President has had the good
sense to demand of her nothing either uArea-
souable or improper; and We take it for granted
that the frankness and promptness with which
the propositions and requests of our State De-
| partnent upon the Spanish Government are
understood to have been met are due in a
great measure to the experience with the
| United States and the sound liberalism and
patriotism of Mr. Ca1deron, who Is said to be
virtually the director of the Councils Of the
Spanish Foreign Office, so far as its transac-
tions with this Government are concerned
The European Wharf.-The foreign, ministers
in Washis gton undoubtedly possess key to
the apparent lethargy and want of spirit with
which the Russo-Turkish war has been prose-
cuted of late. They have positive information
leading them at least to believe that the cur
rent Vienna negotiations tcf the four Powers@
have resulted, so far, in formal notification
from Prussia, Austria, and all others control
ling the foreign policy of the German States,
to Russia, saying how far they will permit the
| Car to carry out his Eastern policy. They
dread an invasion from Louis Napoleon's horde
on the western borders, and by means of their
| fears that he will otherwise cross the Rhine,
they have been forced to signify to Nicholas
tn at if he makes s'the worst come to the worst"
they will, necessarily, be found in arms against
| him Hence his retrograde movements in the
| municipalities, and hence also the hesitation
manifested by the allied fleets; telling that
| their commanders still anticipate settlement
of the trouble by negotiation, rather than by
force of arms. We know that such impressions
are prevailing in foreign diplomatic circles
here day, upon the advices just received.
Expenses Reimbursed-It is held at the
Treasury Department in the settlement of &C.
counts, that when army or navy officers are
prosecuted before civil courts for acts done
manifesty in the line of their public duty
such necessary expenses as have been incurred
in their defence, are held to be proper charge
against the government, ana are reimbursed
to them.

mittee of ex-member borers, who jumped or

Of such over-nursing is the standing joke in The
Hall, and is being constantly referred to as
warning whenever any proposition comes up
in which ex-member lobbyites are even sus
pected of being interested. Never were gen
tlemen so victimized, as were the PRESIDENT
panies who were made to believe that the,
were acting wisely in securing lobbying ser
vices to be done by ex-members of Congress.
The Hon. Daniel Mace, Of Indiana. 1t ha
been understood here for some two month
past, that this gentleman was fast clmbin;
over the political fence. That is, making tn
usual preliminary movements for quitting tn
party with which he has been identified unit
recently. We perceive by the following &C
count Of his demonstration at recent meet
ing in Indiana, that he has gone, bag and bag
gage, clean out of the democratic camp 1t i

the wing ranks; inasmuch not long since
