The Union this morning notices the state
ment Of a correspondent Of the New York Tn
bune that " arrangements have been made TOR
q thorough anti Lecompton organization with
out reference to political antecedents, y and
adds
The country will await the completion of
these arrangements with q consider able degree of
curiosity Every one Is anxious to know what
position Messr-. Douglas. Wake Wise, Stanton
Stuart, Bell Crittenden Co are to occupy in
the new party. They have certainly made great
sacrifices, and ougbt to be well rewarded; but we
imagine they will get much less than they bar
gained for. The slack Republican committee
men OF the several ates Were to have met in this
city yesterday, for the purpose, we suppose, Of
lnauguTatlng the arrangements alluded to by the
Inbune's correspondent, and also to divide out
the spois In expectancy; but IL they got together,
the TACT has not yet TRANSFERRED"
The Union pronounoes absolution upon Sen

dent in connection with the residence Of the
latter for a few weeks of the summer at the
Soldiers Home, the Senator having yesterday
made o complete and ample apology therefor.

THB VALUE OF INFLUENcE IN THE SENATE.
Yesterday morning Senator Gwin introduced
into the Senate bill creating additional land
Offices in California. To-day the Senate passed
it-despatching the business with unprece-
dented celebrity, so far such matters are con
cerned. So much for the disposition of the
body to oblige its author.
CHARLEs MAcKAr, the English song writer,
is at Willards', in this city, to-day, on his
return from his recent lecturing tour through
the Southwest. Mr.. M. appears delighted with
his reception in that quarter, no less than with
the geniality and hospitality of that region Of
our great country. He is next to lecture in
Baltimore.
CONFIRNED.-The Senate yesterday con,
| frmed the nomination of Col A. S. Johnston
