Without some such union and concert defeat il
inevitable. The Democratic leaders here count
upon these probable distractions as one Of the
great assurances Of their success. There must be
some concessions Of opinion and some compro-
mlses Of existing party arrangements in order to
bring about this fusion of political opposition
otherwise it will be useless to undertake the can
yass. The Democracy will enter the contest with
compact organization, no matter who may be
chosen their standard bearer, and even to a mi

token CT victory. Can we never learn practical
wisdom from experience, or tact from our adver

The reception ct the Presidents last night was
By far the most numerousy attended and brilliant
Of the season, although strangers greatly predom-
mated over metropolitan nOtabtes. Conspicuous
among the crowd was the rudy face and silvered
head Of the British Minister Mr.. CHAMPION, who
seems to pocket his affront with the grace of one
who, for years past, is known to have longed for
the chance of trip across the waters. If Lord
Pslmerston should be able to hold on to power
until tire end of the war; there is every probability
that place will be made for Mr. Champion after
a year Of furlOugh, if his services should not be
sooner needed. The British Government never
turns it's back upon faithful servants, and as Mr..
Champion acted out only what he conceived to be
the wishes of his employers, he is certainly entitled
to protection, if to no higher consideration. 1t
was very cruel of our Administration however to
disturb the otiun cum dignitote which he had
established for himself here. bachelor, with
FIVE thousand sterling year, beautiful embow
cred retreat on the nights of Georgetown, and
very much favored in society, is not to be picked
up or picked off every day. DOwagers and de-
signing mammas are very wrath against the Adj
ministration, and will only be sppeased upon con-
ditiOn that my Lord PalmerstOn will send over
successor of equal desrablty
After long controversy, Col. FremOnt's Mari
posa claim has at length been settled by the CON-
plete recognition of his title by the United states.
When the case was first brought before the Su-
preme Court here, he obtained a favorable decree,
which it was supposed would exclude all further
litigation, and put him in possession of his rights.
The Attorney General, Mr.. Cushing raised new
issue on some question of survey, and the opinion
of the Circuit Court in California came up for
review the other day. The Supreme Court not
only reaffrmed its former opinion but it took Oc-
casiOn to administer proper rebuke to Mr.. Cush-
ing end the other Court, for attempting to resist
its authority by technical expedient. After the
last opinion was rendered, an application was i'm
mediately made to the Secretary of the Interior
for patent and he has now notified the counsel
of the parties that he will obey the requistion.
This patent will therefore be issued next week.
1t will cover nearly 45 600 acres of land, the real
value of which is not known, but is now estimated
by millions. 1t will be the largest and most valu-
able title ever made by the Government. INDEX.
