LOBBY CHANGES AT WAsHMGToN.-Great
changes are at work among the lobby jobbere at
Washington. Whether Matteson shall be once
more expelled from Congress or not it seems
that he has resolved to relinquish his position
as the inside captain of the outside lobby league.
But the Right Honorable Orsamus Benajah will
not retire with empty pockets, if the testimony
of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson and others may
be accepted as the basis of actual profit and
loss. On the contrary, when Master Matteson
abdicates it will probably be with the following
drippings of lobby spoils in his favor. to witt

Being within fraction of the we'll known
lobby fee from the old United States Bank to
the Chevalier Webb. We do not know yet who
is to take the lobby captaincy of Matteson but
we understand that one of our New York NJ.
C.'s, who has been seen of late fitting about
among the patent lobby jobbers, will, perhaps,
be the happy man. According to the testimony
of that incorruptible Israelite, Simonton, in be.
half Of the editorial lobby jobbers, he has not
realized much from his peculiar services and
if something should not soon be done for him
by the rubber, the pistol the planning machine,
or the patent reaper men, he may be compelled
to fall back upon his old trade Of stitching old
clo in Chatham street. Thus far, the lobby
this session at Washington, from the loss of the
active management of Matteson, has been in
disorganized state (; but we have no doubt that
a chief to the forty thieves will still be aP-
pointed in season for active operations 1t is
considered judicious first to get the existing
Congressional committees of inquiry out of the

the prompt removal of this Kansas obstruction
from the channels of trade comes from the
rsbid disunion ultras of the North and the South.
In the South there exists violent faction
Of reckless, ambitious demagogues, whose
great ultimatum is Southern cOnfederacy,
in which they may be the rulers
In the North we have fruitful
nest of disunion abolition fanatics,
who have already held number, big and little,
of their open mouthed disunion conventions
and who, to-day, will be assembled in another
of these reasonable gatherings at Albany.
With these Northern disunionists dissolution
of the Union is aimed at as the speediest plan
for the destruction of Southern slavery, while
with the Southern secession troupe, disunion is
held to be the only alternative of eafety to the
slave holding States. Both these disorganizing
sectional factions are opposed to the pscifca-
ton Of Kansas for this bone of sectional con-
tention ia their present stock in trade and with
the admission of Kansas as q sovereign State,
they will be bankrupt, and cast out as political
Migrants upon the world
The clamor and wrath of these sectional
cliques of agitators therefore, may be safely dis
regarded. 1t becomes especially the duty of
Congress to pass this Lecompton constitution
without delay, when we know that it will bring
peace to Kansas and to the country and when
we know too, that the failure of this Lecompton
policy will inevitably reopen the agitation of
the whole question of slavery, the consequences
of which, political, social, financial and COM
mercial, to the North and the South, no man
can forsee.

WHO PUT 1T THERE.

The American flag has been placed at the
top of the tree on Cape Mendocino. Thi.
is the most westerly point in the Republic;
its rough and mount linous front rises haught-
lily out Of the sea, and away down at its base
the waves make foam, and roar, and strike
in direst anger the great and uDchangeable
rocks. Gales whirling up the coast or DASH
ing along from Oregon, lodge with the grand
family of trees whose leaves are never still,
at the green summit of the Cape. Who
put this starry flag upon that lofty tree? who
was so cognizant of sublimity as to climb
above the nations land verge and decorate
the 9rial desert there with his country's glo-
rious sign and gladdening emblem? Let him
be praised with those who have patriotic
inspiration in the hour Of peace, and ad-
vance to difficult distances tho standard of
their native land! Full in the presence of all
the nations that flag now wsves-its tremb-
ling shadow is on all the seas! But il has
had the strangest of adventures. Il has
been borne near to the mysterious sources of
the Nile, with but one freeman to protect il,
and in the cloudy solitude of the highest
mountains its sacred threads have bean ap-
portioned to resistess storms. Il vas left
alone on one of natures towers reared in the
new Antarctic continent, where have been
gathered the glittering frosts where eternal
winter builds huge icebergs round the north

HOW JOHN PHOENIX GOT INTO THE Ia.

John PhGnix, the inimitable wit, thus tells
an incident connected with a ride on the New

puts it on record to serve as q caution to
future innocent travellers: ......

''Leddies car, sir, av you plesse-forred car
for gentlemen without leddies." Need Isay
that this car was the most comfortable Of
the train, and with that resolve which ever
distinguished me in the discharge Of the
duty to myself, determined to 60 into it.
So when We changed cars at Utica, rushed
forth and seeing nice young person, with
apretty face, bonnet and shawl, and large
portmanteau, urging her way through the
crowd, Istepped up by her side, and with my
native grace and gallantry, offered my arm

manner of an old acquaintance:
