Mr.. George Briggs, Member of Congress from
this CITY, telegsphed to the Union-sayiug meeting
OF the Academy of Music, that bis heart was with
them, but he must remain in person at Washington
and vote against the election of Mr. Sherman. We
beg to assure Mr.. Briggs that in the opinion of the
large mass Of those who sent him to Congress both
bis heart and his voice are put to a very bad use
the former in sympathiziog with a movement whose
only effect is to embolden those who threaten dis
souton in the event Of being beaten in the coming
Presidential contest-the latter, in preventing an
organization of the House of Representatives, aud
encouraging the re-eating factiOusts to persist in
efforts TO cripple the action of one branch of the
Government, and ultimately break up the COnied-
eraoy. And this he calls Conservatism
New-York daily tribune., 1859-12-24

II is now seen that our recent so-called Union
meeting, though got up for the benefit of Horatio
Seymour and the Soft politicians of Tamnany Hall,
has turned out to the profit of Fernando Wood and
his Spartan phaIsnx OF IIards. This Is one reason
why The journal Of Commerce and The EIPress are
so ehary Of praise for the frank and uncomPrOmis-
iug speech of Mr. O'ConOr, in which The true points
at issue between the Disunonist Democracy aud
the constitutional Republicans were 80 distinctly
stated II would be a curious instance OF political
Justice if that meeting, instead of making Horatio
Seymour the Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent should result in cOnierrng that distinction on

From Washington.
spcolsl Dispatch to The N. Y Trbupe.
WASHINGTON, Friday. Dec 90, 1882
TIIp sFN sTR PRINTER


The Democratic Caucus of the Senate to-day
nominated Mr.. Bowman Printer. The President
made bis nomination personal point and used all
the influence at hrs command to secure success, by
direct appeals to Senators and by other appliances
OF power. 1t is supposed the job will be worth
rsary 100000, as the whole discretionary patron
see Of the Administration will be thrown there.
Notwithstanding the quarrel had with Mr. Weudell,
be will do the work.
L. s. DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Judge Roosevelt was confirmed IT, g. District
Attorney for the Southern District Of New-York
vice Judge Parker, declined. His acceptance was
ascertaned before be was nominated. The Presi
dent is thus relieved of an importantly for foreign
appointment
a number Of POstmasters were also confirmed.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
The aggregate imports, free and dutable, for the
last fiscal year we're S33S, ,765, ,130.
The exports, including specie, were 1856, 6,789,-
462.
THE sPEAKRRsHIP.
Mr.. FOrnsworth's speech to-day deranged the
programme for the Speakershp. The hope was
entertained, if the balotngs proceeded upon the
meeting Of the house, developments would have
occurred which probably would have resulted in an
election before Tomorrow night. That expectation
mustnow be deferred, and probably, be disappointed.
The Opposition have steadily gained by silence and
