The Gadsden Treaty.-We apprehend that
we were in error yesterday in announcing that
this treaty had gone into the Senate. We felt
satisfied that it was intended to send it in and
took it for granted that that purpose had been
only carried out. From what we have subse
quently gathered, however, we now believe
that Signor Almonte, the Mexican Minister
at the eleventh hour hesitated to pledge the
acquiesence of his Government in certain of
the alterations which the President deemed
necessary to justify him in giving it his sane
ton, and that for this reason it is still with
held, necessarily, from the Senate. We now
take it for granted that it will not be thus sub
mitted until Mr. Almonte can communicate
with his Government and receive their reply to
his representations on the subject.
"Make Note Ont ."-Itis somewhat singu-
lar that every foreign appointment of President
Pierce, against which the New York Herald
has enveighed, has been confirmed promptly
and without opposition, or even question, in
the Senate.
Restitution to Government.-The Treasury
Department to-day received three dollars in
letter, in which were written only the words
