SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union alleges that the MfeLIigeneer,
through its Republican friends in Congress, by
factions and uncompromising effort defeated
the Post Office appropriation bill, and suggests
that II i'll becomes that paper and the party
cooperating with it, to complain of the proba-
BILE increase of expenses that they have caused,
and of the President for not calling Congress
together to remedy the difficulty.
The BtclligeneeT, sluding to the action Of the
late Democratic meeting in Chesterfield, Va,
in describing the " Northern doctrine Of ro-
tation in Office, merely for the sake of rotation,
agrees that the doctrine is a 4" pestilential dog
ma Of political prescription, " but contends that
it has heretofore received its chief countenanee
and support from illustrious leaders and exem-
Plars of the Democratic party, and that instead
Of being peculiar to the North, it can be traced
back to Jeffersonian origin.

The SICKLEs TRIAL.-At late hour ycster-
day afternoon, the District Attorney fixed upon
the 4th Of April, proximo,-a week from next
Monday-for taking up the case of Daniel E.
sickles. 1t is to be presumed that he expects
to be able to dispose not only of the Hutchins
murder case before that date-Hutchins having
been indicted first and being also longest in
jail-but Of the many potty bailable cases of
parties too poor to procure bail, who now lie
incarceratcd on light charges. Such has inva-
riably been the custom here. There is nothing
whatever connected with tho confinement OF
Sickles justifying departure from the Courts
previous practice in his favor, that may involve
injustice to other accused parties.
