A LEGISLATIVE BLUNDER.-In the act au.
thorizing the election of Clerk Of the Courts,
our legislators forgot to make provision that
that officer should serve as Clerk of the Coun-
ty Commissioners as well as of the Supreme
Judicial and Common Pleas Courts The
Commissioners are consequently without
scribe unless the old Clerk "oyer." We no.
notice by the Legislative proceeding OF the
present session, that in order to remedy the
blnuder, bill has been introduced providing
that the Clerk of the Courts shall act as Clerk
of the County Commissioners. The oversight
in the first place was inexcnsable; but il is of
piece with large portion of the laundering
Know Nothing Legislation of. the past two or
three years which is full Of ridiculous mis-
takes, to say nothing of the creation of large
number Of new offices to bestow upon party
wire-pullers up to the browning glory OF the
whole concern, TO wit: the Nunnety Inves-
tigation, conducted with such signal ability
under the auspices Of Mr.. Joseph Hiss and
Mrs. Patterson. Ne,O Bedford Standard.

The Ner CnbInet.


Mr.. Buchanan is about on the point of depart
ure for Washington, to feel the pulses of the pol
itieians at the Capitol, previous to the formation
of his Cabinet After ascertaining the actual
state Of things, as to the conflicting elements
which compose his patty. upon his accession to
power, the President elect win retire again to
Wheatland, and there proceed Immediately to
decide upon the individuals whom he is to call
around him, to aid him in his administration of
public affairs. As but little more than month
viii transpire before Mr.. Buchanan is to assume
the functions Of his high Office, of course he has
no time to spare.
Whether he will find affairs at Washington in
reference to his party, in that decided condition
which will be of aid to hum in making up his
mind 10 which section of it to give the most
prominence in his Cabinet, is very predetermined.
He WILL we opine, find it utterly impossible to
come to any harmonious conclusion, as to his line
of policy in his appointments. Mr.. Buchanan
will be beset by the same willy and boisterous set
of extreme politicians, of the ultra fire eating
school, like Jefferson Davis, Gov. Wise, &c.,
who by their influence proved the ruin of poor
Pierce. These men comprise large majority
of the Democratic party at the South, and yet
they are the very ones whom Mr.. Buchanan is
anxious to overlook. His preferences are eyi
IDENTIFY in favor of the more moderate section,
headed by Cobb of Georgia, to whom he is anx-
ious to give place in his Cal met, provided he
can reconcile the opposite divisions.
And then, as to the Northern section of his
party there is the same strife between the friends
of Toueey, Douglas, and Others of the ultra pro-
slavery doughfaces, and the less intensely pro-
slavery hunkers, like Cass, Clifford of Maine,
&c. 1t is very clear, that whichever way Mr..
Buchanan sides in the construction of his Cabin.
ct, the various elements which will make up his
administration will be so antagonistic, that he
will find his term of Presidential office but four
years boisterous voyage upon tempestuous po-
litcal sea.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes
Governor Wise has great power over Mr.. Blu
chanan, so much so that The latter has absolutely
written letter deprecating Wise's anger, and in
so many words begging his support Governor
Floyd, Wise's friend, will undoubtedly go into
the Cabinet. 1t has been intimated to Howell
Cobb that he could go into the Cabinet. Cobb
will only accept the State Department, so he has
stated. Mr. Buchanan has expressed prefer
ence for Clifford Of Maine, over Toucey of Con
necticut. The latter has great Southern and
Western strength, however. If Mr.. Buchanan
stands firm, Clifford will be the man. II the
representatives of the members here sway him,
then Toucey will be taken. Mr.. Sldell mas made
point, that Benjamin of Louisiana, ex Wing,
must go into the Cabinet, and it is generally
coded that Slidell will succeed"
