It is understood that the Cabinet has. had several
long and exciting sessions over this Central Amer

CURED. The unterrfed Democracy have been trying
to get in bill regulating the right of suffrage in the
District Of Columbia so as to permit the three hous

Democratic politicians here by the appearance of o
long letter from Francis P. Blair former editor of
the Globe newspaper the organ of Jacksons and
Van Buren's administrations. He enters into a de-
tailed history Of the in which he was super

out of the Treasury in November 1874, was not re-

modern Democracy may be guilty. ''
Mr.. Buchanan will be here the first of next week.
His object, suppose is to report account of his
diplomatic dongs in Europe-includng the conferen.
