The New York Herald sums up John Van
| Buren's losses in the late New York elections
as follows: "The prince, in our late election,
lost his reputation as prophet; in the canvass
he lost his temper; but worse than all, it is re-
ported that he lost FIVE hundred dollars in a
bet with southern man upon the State of New
York. What says the old proverb?'' Presi-
dent Pierce takes the matter to heart even more
than prince John, as he feels assured that the
result in New York exinguished his last, lin

The Legislature of Tennessee is endeavorine
to strip the governor of that State of the greater
portion of the power and patronage which be
has heretofore enjoyed. A bill has been intro
duced to amend the charter of the bank of Ten
nessee--the object being to take the appoint
ment Of directors out of the hands of the gov
ernor, and give it to the legislature. Another
bill is under discussion taking the management
of the penitentlary from the governor and Civ
ing it to the legislature. The superintendent of
railroads will also be appointed By the legisla-
ture. The governor ought to rejoice, because
it will rid him of a host of office seekers
The governor of Pennsylvania has pardoned
doctor Beale.. It is a pity that the State was
put to the expense of arraigning and trying
him. In these times of .shigher law it would
be better for prosecuting attorneys to ascertain
the views and intention of the executive before
proceeding with case. What is the use of
haranging Jurors, teazing judges, conyicting
and condemning criminals, if the governor in
tends to extend TO them a pardon? .z<z.

Since the difficulty between DIR. Worrel, our
late consul at Matanzas, and the Spanish au-
thorties, it has been discovered bY the state
department that the consuls of all other coun-
tries, except our own, within her most catholic
majesty's dominion, have the right, by special
agreement, to take possession Of the effects of
their deceased countrymen, and affix their seal
thereto, but it will be recollected that dr.. Wor-
rel was not allowed to perform a similar action.
or rather an attempt to do SO, was not respected
by the Spanish authorities. In view of these
facts, it is said the subject has been officially
brought to the attention of the Spanish govern
