ruE PURCHASE OF THE CONSTITUTION.
M arrangement has yet been completed for
Mr, Dreckinridge. They will not buy without
absolute control, md m entire release from any
present or future responsibility for the Admin
istration, not caring to be tied to corpse. 9th
erwise new paper will be started. If the
Constitution he procured on the terms proposed,
stat. But The political management :,s' direc-
tion will belong to those who pay theil money,
aud the President may find himself without q
personal organ, filled with daily ind disgusting
adulation.
Mr. buchanan claims that inasmuch rs the
patronage and official influence Of the Admins
tration will be exerted for the ticket, a certain
sharc Of consideration on the part Of the paper
should be allowed It. No such condition will
be agreed to. While the Administration may
be sustained in its general policy, the paper
will be mainly directed to an energetic canvass
ior Mr. Ereckinridge.
Nr. Bowman and his tribe are to 80 out in
any event, because the Committee hare abun-
dant u.eans, without connecting their party or.
gan with any job for the printing Of The Sem
ute, and do not want the odium Of such aaeocia.

THE c1T1L ELL.
The amendment which Jefferson Davis sue
ceeded in attaching 10 the civil bill, prohibiting
the pal chase Of any patented article by either
the War or Nary Department, without special
authority Of Congress, tas ca',sed much confu.
sion in both, and among the patentecs, who
have heretofore had full swing, to say nothing
Of certain official benefciaries who hare protited
largely by their position and influence. Sir.
Davis did not evidently intend to strike at in
Teutors or mechanics, as has been alleged; but
to check abuses which had grown TO be uotori.

Why he aimed this blow particularly at thu
Navy and War Offices may he explained here
after. lie must have had some strong reason
His amendment further provides that all con-
tracts and purchases, except in cases ofexigen-
ey requiring an immediate delivery, shall be
made by adEertis'ng for proposals. and in pur-
suance OF IN appropriation already made. Had
such law been in existence when the Admin
1st1atlon came into power, millions Of dollars
would have been saved, aud the public scandal
OF several Investigations prevented.
Mr. Floyd has issued orders to all his bureaus
in accordance with this lin itation not to make
any purchases, and it is supposed MIR. Torcey
will follow his example. It may occasion some
temporary inconvenience, but will result iu IN
ul;imate advantage.

Census Ol'ice Of the completion Of their duties
BY some Of the Assistant Marshals in several Of
