WASHINGTON, Jan. 4th.
| The friends of Senator DOUGLAS are making the
most extensive arrangements to give him grand
and imposing reception upon his arrival in thi;
city. Some of his warm supporters say that he
will not be candidate for the Presidential nomina
tion in 1850, inasmuch as he could not then com
mand the vote of the united Democracy, but will
bide his time in 1864. In that event, all his infu
ence in the Charleston Convention will be thrown
In behalf of Gov. WISE, Of Virginia. who would be
very acceptable to the North as Anti -Lecompton-
lite, and to the South the first Southern Democrat
nominated for the Presidency since 1874. Should
this arrangement prove successful and Gov Wise
be elected, DoCGLAs would of course be the great
man of his Administration and command the inhu-
ence and position necessary to pave the way for his
own success in 1864. At any rate, say these an
htg"onts, no one can be elected as the Democratic
nominee in 1860 who is not acceptable to Mr..
DOUGLAS.
In the House tomorrow, Mr.. DAVIS, of Missis-
sippi, will announce the death of Gen. QUITMAN,
and after the usual euloges the House will ad-
journ.
MIR. STEPHENS, of Georgia, designed to-day offer
ing the bill providing for the admission of Oregon
as State, but the thin attendance prevented him
from doing At one time this morning it was
doubtful whether quorum would be in attendance
but sufficient number of stragglers in du-
ring the day to enable the House to proceed with
business.
The action of the Secretary of the Interior, invi-
ting the present meeting of Agricuturists and pay
ing them from the public treasury, excites some
comment, and resolution of enquiry into the power
of the Secretary thus to the public funds will
probably be introduced into the House. 1t was re-
ferred to to-day in that body.

mors are in circulation relative to the Nicaragua

THE BLACK REPUBLICAN AsPIRANTs.-A
Washington letter to the Philadelphia
Press says:
Mr. Seward is steadily pushing his
claims for Presidential nomination. He
has extensive connections in the Republi-
can ranks, and although not agreeable to
q large class of his party, will, it is sup
posed, command great strength because
of his consistency on the Anti-slavery
platform. The National Era, in this city,
NAV be regarded as his more immediate
organ, and the New York Evening Post
as his New York mouth-piece. Mr.. Thur
low Weed, of the Albany Evening jour
al. a shrewd and skilful tactician, who,
notwithstanding he has been bitterly as
sailed, seems to maintain his footing Is
doing all in his power to promote the
cause of Mr.. SewaId. The new Governor
Morgan, of New York, is another of his
adherents. Mr.. Seward commands not
only personal, but pecuniary influence,
and, as he is himself very wealthy, he
will be enabled to make most vigorous
campaign. On the other hand, the New
York Tribune, welding, as it does, great
power, is not looked upon, as very friend
ly, while it is more than likely that Gov.
Banks, of Massachusetts,, Gov. Chase, of
Ohio, and last, not least, Justice Mclean,
also of Ohio, will assert their pretensions
at the, proper time. There can be no
combination in 1860 Of the opposition
elements that does not pay due attention,
first, to the national sentiment as it exists
among the old line Wings South, and,
secondly, to the American sentiment as it
may be said to exist in the opposition par
ty all over the Union. The difficulty in
uniting these two elements with the adopt
ed citizens who are Republicans, and with
sincere Abolitionists, must be apparent to
every one"

A WOMAN DESERTED BY HER HUSBAND
Falls heir to $50, 900 and sodntS to Retl57s.--
Quite a rich scene occurred in the Essex
Market Police Court, New York, on Sat
urday evening. Mrs. Ann Philips, q very
good-looking young lady, attired in deep
mourning, appeared before Justice Bren-
an to prosecute her husband, William
Henry Philips, for abandonment. 1t ap-
pears that Mrs. Philips was left destitute
by her husband, with little infant de-
pendent upon her for support. She ap-
nealed frequently to him for assistance,
but he would not do anything for her.
Recently her uncle died in California, be-
| Cuaatbing 10 her some $4,000. Since
MS windfall her husband has been desi-
ro,,s of living with her again, but she will
not have ANYTHING to do with him. She
Thought. however, that it was nothing
more than lust that he should provide
for the child. This he refused to do, and
hence this complaint.
When Mr.. Philips responded to the
sunnmons. he demanded an examination
as to whether he was the father of the
child, and legally responsible for its sup
port, whereupon Mrs. Philips grew highly
| indignant, and exclaimed: "Well, you
are too contemplate a man for mo to look
| At. any way. You would murder me for

your whole family if choose" She then
walked towards the door and paused at
the entrance until her husband passed
her, when she took her parasol and struck
him several blows over the head and face'
breaking it into pieces. Pushing her
aside he escaped into the street, when she
followed him and the last that was seen
of them, Mrs. Philips was seen lashlng
him through the street.

ROBERT JossELYN.
When was a boy, it Is no matter when,
admit twas long time ago,
There were plenty Of children with romdabouts them
And the world turned around very slow:
Al nine the old people went through with prayers
And the children all went to their beds.
For they never took part in the old folks affairs
IIlan idea came into their heads
But now we have equisite dsniies At ten,
Who strut in their swaow-tailed coats,
And put on the airs and vices Of men
And squander their change and bank notes;
They top Of their cocktails and wine with a smack
TIL, though green, they al get very mellow,
And they slap yoa familiarly over the back,
While they -, "How dye do my old feIow~
They turn up their noses at girls in their frocls
And talk about hoops and long dresses
Al an age when their fathers wore natures own socks
Nor dreamed Of ntrigues and csresses;
They smoke, chew tobacco, bet, gamble and swear,
And -alaee az the pokas and fancies,
With an easy assurance and Isur,iishina air,
That delights all the Bridget- and Nancic~.
dear. am frightened half out OF my wits
With the hurry and hustle and STIR,
The world by steam progress, seems knocked into ft.
And goes round with whizz and whirl:
Shall we ever go back to the steady old pace
And grow up ami expand by degreesl
For now we rush on as if running race,
And the devil the lndmost would seize.

ron, the Correspondence Of the Na0 FORK Express.
A Romantic Historical Episode.

This happened about for years ago.
Soulouque sent an envoy to France,
charged with private mission, and armed
with full powers. Shortly after the sable
minister's arrival, he caused himself to be
presented to Alexander Dumas, Sr., whose
papa, as everybody knows, or ought to
know, was a magnificent general, of mo-
lasses color. Dumas, ST., is a shade light
er than was his parent, being of saddle
tint, and Dumas, Jr. son of Dumas, Sr.,
pretends to be almost white. So he is
in the dark.
The Haytien envoy, after diplomatical-
ly beating about the bush for a consider
able time, finally came to business, and
wound up by informing the astonished
novelist that his (the envoys) mission to
France was for the purpose of demanding
the hand in marriage of Dumas, Jr., for
her Imperial Highness, the Princess Olive,
daughter of the Emperor of all the Haytis.
"The hand of AlexanderW cried father
Dumas, thunderstruck. Goodness gra-
pusson must be insane! l say you must

Monte Christo bears the enyiaE1le fepJlta-
ton Of never having deliberately said q

ply added, by way of saying something:
''It's impossible, sir! utterly impossible
''Why?" demanded the envoy.
"Why? Because-hum because my
sons origin is too obscure for him to dream
of such an honorw And papa Dumas
thought this a triumph piece of cunning.
Nothing of the sort, sir! And, after
| all, continued the envoy, with engaging
modesty, what are sOef Only parvenens.

wouldn't imagine it, know; but it's a
fact. Besides, sir, if we were to demand
Prince we should be refused: or, at all
events, be fobbed off with an old ugly
one. A literary Prince-that's the tick
ct! He may write as many books and
plays down there as he chooses"
Papa Dumas, terribly embarrassed,
scratching his ear, and at last said:

about my ignorance of business; and, as
for taking wife upon my recommends
ton, he would laugh at the bare idea
Suppose we ask Thompson to break the
subject to himp
The envoy was satisfied with this plan
and Thompson was forthwith desired tc
repeat the proposition to Dumas, Jr.-
Dumas, Jr., swore that Thompson must
be crazy, and ordered the servant to e

A MOUNTAIN OF BOoKs.-The State of
Ohio annually appropriates about $4,000
to the purchase of school apparatus, and
books for her School Libraries. This
large amount is raised by tax of one-tenth
of mill on the dollar of the entire prop
erty valuation of the State. Under this
law, (says the New York Tribune the
Hon. Anson Smith, State Commissioner of
Schools, concluded contract, last Sep
tember, with the Messrs. Appleton of this
city, to supply the State With her library
books for 1859. Accordingly, all the free
space on the floor of the immense sales
room at Appleton's is now occupied by
great masses of these books, piled soidly
like bricks, ready for packing and ship
ment. In bulk, they measure over 25
solid cords, and they weigh 78 tons. Piled
on end, on a shelf, in the usual manner,
and as close together as possible, they
would extend from the City Hall to Union
square, or a distance of two miles. We
understand that Messrs. Appleton have
made arrangements to transport the en-
tire lot by special freight train, to be run
straight through from this city to Colum-
bus The binding, which is uniform, is
beautiful and substantial. Each volume
is lettered on the back, with the title of
the book, authors name, and the mark of
the "Ohio S. Library, 1882"
