WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.
The Union of this morning has a significant
leading editorial on Mexican Affairs assert
ing that we have clear right on the princi-
pies of self protection to intervene and com.
mand and enforce order in that country. The
editorial endorses an article from the New
York Herald, declaring that the President
should have full power of Peace or war.
1t was recently extensively reported that
Secretary Cobb had accepted the appointment
OF Minister to France, and now it is rumored
that he is going to England in similar ca
pacity. But there is the highes. authority
for saying that there is no truth whatever in
these statements, and further, that since the
formation of the present Cabinet, it is not
known that any member thereof has had the
remotest idea of Withdrawing from it, for any
purpose.
The Presidents Message is in type and will
he ready for the Press tomorrow, Advance
copies of the Message will, according to the
Presidents desire, be sent only to Richmond.

ly new proposition) and returned it to the
Senate, who received it and agreed to it,
while II majority of the House committee
(Linsley and Kellogg,) reported ,as it should,
that the Committees Of Conference had
not agreed, and recommended the House to
adhere to the former vote, whcreupon Mr.
Nccdham, who had by this time
become conscious that he was member of
the House and not Of the Senate, submitted
his views, as minority Of the committee.
The Senate after having agreed to the report
of the three Senators and Mr. Needbam, pro-
cceded to rcccde from its proposal of amend
mcnt to the House bill, and agreed to an en-
tirely new proposal of amendment, being
what it had already agreed to as the report"
before stated, and sent the two documents to
the House for its concurrence. The House
thought Unanimously that both those pro-
ceedings on the part of the Senate were en-
tirely irregular and parliamentary, and
returned them to the Senate with civil mes
sage to that effect and so well satisfied was
the Senate with the opinion of the House,
that it quietly laid both papers on the table,
and there let them remain, thinking rightly,
that "the less said, the better" If in all
this there was any cause of indignation on
the part ofthe Senate, it ought not to 60

Good for Marysville.

Every now and then our neighbors of Nye's
ranch, wake up from their wonted legthargy and
refreshed by long ard quiet slumbers, make Rome
howl with their wild Civilizations. They celebrated
the cable laying last Monday, and if reports and
the papers tell the truth they did the thing excee-
dinghy proud" Their whole proceedings passed
OIL as handsomely SIS could have been wished if we
may except tine conduct of certain celestials who
after frmng into line refused to train in the cot
pany because forsooth, they were stationed at the
rea,. Not choosing to follow in the wake of cvili-
zation they showed their barbarous inclination by
retiring, mattering to their opium and chop sticks
They probably thought the celebration was gotten
up in honor of the treaty inst entered in to between
Uncle Sam and his fowery Majesty. and that its
provisions entitled them to prominent place in
the ranks as those Of the most favored nation''

The River Claims...Aeain.

We regret having no more encouraging news
concerning the state Of affairs the river, to lay
before our readers this week This would seem to
tion than usual of theriver operators. Four or five
we, Ks past, the prospects were more fattering
than in any previous years. In fact, we know of
but one Of the six large river clsims that has been
entirely successful. We refer to Capt. John Ly-
ties claim. Enough gold has been realized from
this claim to pay all expenses, and make liberal
dividend among the shareholders. Gilman's claim
which is the first one below Lyte's, is reported a
complete failure. The Union claim Harry Minots)
which, day or two since, was almost ready for
working, is flooded with water, the foot dam having
broken away or sprung leak. OF course this mis-
hap will set the work back for several days. The
condition of matters at Channel Rock is alluded
to elsewhere. The water is running through the
fume, and there is favorable prospect of an early
resume of mining operations. Relating to the Ne
braska claim we have favorable reports, but moth
ing definite. We fear the Cape claim will turn out
much less favorably for its shareholders than first
prospects led them to expect. They have taken out
very large amounts of gold; fortunes, almost, in
some days since operations began, but in so stu
pendous work, the current expenses require the
daily yield of thousands to make it profitable in
vestment. The original amount paid the contract
or, was two hundred thousand dollars. OF course
much more than this enormous sum has to be dug
from the claim to reimburse the shareholders for
their outlay;-the payment of employees having
precedence of dividends. What the exact sum to-
tai already realized is we are uniformed; but from
what we can gather from outsiders have no rea-
son for supposing that onehalf the first cost
has yet found its way from the river bed into the
companys treasury. However, should the season
prove auspicious. and no mishap occur, we may
hope the Cape will yet redeem herself. 1t would be
great disaster, both to individuals and the county
for this noble work to result in failure.
