Gov. Geary, though finally admitted to an in
terview with President Buchanan yesterday, was
kept cooling his heels for some time in the ante
chamber, while the President gave audience to a
set of Office seekers from this city. We do not
wonder that the President was rather 10th to
look his illused friend in the face. Very likely
he entertains the opinion expressed by GER
tain Journal of this city, that Gearys resgna-
ton is premature-that he ought rather to have
stayed in Kansas, powerless and helpless as he
was, living and supporting the Territory Ad.
ministration at his own charges, and in risk OF
assassination, instead Of coming home just at
this inconvenient season to vex Mr.. Buchanan
with Kansas affairs, when he has so many other
things to attend to. Gov Geary might ask, to
be sure, what good he could have done-apart
from saving Mr.. Buchanan from responsibility
by remaining in the Territory. unsustained,
nay, totally abandoned as he was by the Adj
ministration, he had lost the last vestage OF au-
thority. Nothing remained to him beyond the
duty Of enforcing the process of Judge Lecompte
and the execution of laws the repeal of which he
had vainly urged, or which had been passed
against his circumstances and over his veto
Ii that is all that Mr.. Buchanan expects Of the
Governor Of Kansas, he cannot encounter the
least difficulty in filling the vacant ofice.-New

ssNAr1vE AxERIcASs."-Wh will now dare
question the orthodoxy of the Buchanan party
on the subject of Native Americanism. The
Buffalo Commercial says that "Ely S. Parker,
known to most of our citizens, as Grand Sachem
of the Six Nations and an Indian of fine talents
and cultivation, has been appointed Superin-
tendent of Construction of the new government
buildings to be erected at Galena, Ill. In this
connection we cannot very well refrain from the
following anecdote: Mr.. Parker, after study
ing law for while, gave it up and commenced
as an Engineer on the Genesee Valley Canal,
near Nunda. One day as he was coming into
the village with his level under his arm, one of
the party of little boys sung out, 'there come
the engineers"
.Yes!" said another little chap, zone In
dian and t,oo ears! !"
Parker is a capable man, and will undoubtedly
be able to Indidneer the public buildings at Ga
lena satisfactorily. This is the first time that an
Indian has ever been appointed to such posi-.
ton by Government.

TROUBLES OF THE PREsrDENT.-Mr. Buchanan

and harrassed by pack of hungry office-seek
ers, who have already nearly distracted him.
His friends-those who elected him, and of
whom each one imagines himself to have been
one Of the chief causes of his success-are
swarming around him, clamoring for the reward
due to their distinguished services. By night
and by day, is the new President tortured. In
dividual applicants, who have taken their case
in their own hands, worry him; aud delegations
from this State and that, charged with the task
of securing good places for their favorites, wor-
ry him. His tables are loaded with petitions,
praying for, and circumstances praying against
the re-appointment Of the present incumbent Of
some fat Office.
Poor Mr.. Buchanan! Everybody pities him
but his own party friends, who are merciless in
their tortures of him. His health, they say, is
sinking under the annoyances to which he is
subjected, and he is endeavoring to dispatch all
this appointing business as soon as possible,
that he may enjoy little repose. He needsi,
poor man, but we are afraid his friends will not
allow him to have it. Falling into pack of ra-
venous wolves would be mercy, compared to
