VINO Co.'s TO EHGLASp.--Mr. Buchanan viii
soon return from England, leaving the mission
to the Court OF St James vacancy. Who VIII
take his place? A Washington correspondent
of ne Of our cotcmporaries says that the
competition for the mission Is not loud but deep.
Many candidates have already been named.
IL is suggested that the present is n favorable
opportunity FOR redeeming the voluntary en-
eagements Of the President TO General Dix; but
the tendency Of the New York election il an
obstacle to that selection. Tho appointment
il not expected to be made before October"
Gen. Dix has presumption claim, we admit;
but if certain inside reports from Washington
may be relied upon, Governor Reeder, OF Kan
sas, is entitled to some consideration. Then,
again, the honest and well meant efforts of
Prince John Van Hnren at the late soft con-
vention, to avoid giving offence to the demo
cratic party by avoiding any endorsement or
approval Of the administration whatever, are
certainly entitled to great respect at headquar-
tiers. But we should not be surprised if the dis
tinguished ministerial services of Col. FHney
in the Kitchen Cabinet were to override the
claims of all other candidates. His most for
midablc competitor is Col Greene of the Bos-
ton Post, and his pretensions certainly appear
to be the more reasonable as between the two
favorites-for while Col. Greene from the pub
lie plumber has only been making his tens Of
thousands, Col. Forney is reported as having
turned over his hundreds Of thousands at Wash
ington, in one way or another. Perhaps, after
all, in order to get him out of the way as a
slippery customer, Gen. Gushing may be
slipped off to England just as Major Borland
was sent down to Nicaragua. The President is
barrassed with the cares Of State and the affairs
of Kansas and the mission to England must
wait till he is ready to receive the ultimatum
Of Marcy That's all.
