holding States.
Kansas.-Thoss who are anticipating the
return Of Gov. Geary to Kansas are in error.
We now have no idea either that an oficisi
wish that he should recall his resign alton has
been intinated to him, or that he has himself
dreamed of again taking possession of the
elephant be won from the late Administration,
under any circumstances whatever
We entertain little doubt of the truth of the
newspaper rumor that the Goyernorship of
Kansas has been rendered to the Hon Robert
j. Walker; though from circumstances in
which We place confidence, We arc skeptical
with reference to the truth of the additional
rumor that he declines the position. We be.
lieve that he has signi6ed his acceptance, and
shall rejoice, indeed, If President buchanan
has been able to secure 30 soon for that now
most responsible and difficult position under
the government Of the United States, q gen.
leman Of the enlarged experience, great pow
er' of mind and nerve, and proverbial control
over himself, which so distinguish Robert J.
Wslksr. We are very sure that nothing but
q mos. ,ommsndable public spirit could have
Induced him to undertake the discharge of
the duties Of the Governorship of Kansas in
these times.
Ex-Pr.sident Pi srce.-we learn tina, this
distinguished gentleman departs from Wash.
ington this afternoon for Philadelphia, where
he will SOLO urn for brief period, on his way
to lis homo in New Hampshire.
The condi, ion of the health of his estimable
ard SO univ ersally esteemed wife, has kept
him here until this time. Though now able to
travel, the ke alth Of Mrs. P. is not suficien.
to Justify him In accepting the public mani
festatioas Of the warm regard Of which our
follow citizens of Washington are 80 anxious
to manifest tOwar DIS him on this occasion.
No man in his position ever made more OF
warner personal friends in Washington BY
uniform cou.tesy, frankness, kindness and lib.
erality in all it has been his duty to do in CON.
nection with our affairs Long will Washing
ton remember him, as It's friend at ell times
and under all circumstances.
The Retired Off.eers.-We have reason to
believe that two a 7ditional Courts Of Inquiry,
similar to tho ono now in session in this CITY,
will DO convened l-y order of tho Secretary
Of the Navy; it being evidently impossible
for one to despatch oil the business to 20 be-
fore it, possibly for years to como.
The caae Of Lieut.. r. w. Meade, already
so long on trial, bids fair 30 occupy the atten-
tion Of the present court for at least q week
longer. -
