they have not been az well received as thcr On. vu
yating pature would warrant. Tbs fact is, that
Mr.. Breckenridge looks at New-York politics
through the eyes Of his old friend and schoolmate
Street Commissioner Smith; and from this source,
or some other, he has conceived rooted distfIfst
and aversion toward Mr.. Wood.
But The Herald is implacsbIe, they say, and
will demand its uttermost pound OF flesh both from
the rhetorical Congressman and His ExcelIency the
Mayor Both have to make unqualified surren-
der, if they desire further support. No Craig
compromise will save Cochranes bacon; and not
even the whole diplomacy Of q " Complete Letter
"Writer" can avail Wood, should he continue to
run counter Cat this particular time) to The
Hsralds policy.
Before concluding, it may be mentioned that
there is an arrangement now on foot for grand
quasi-quarrel between Breckirridge and the Ad-
miDistration-the same. or the semblsnce of the
same to take place and be publicly exploited TO-
ward the end Of this month or the beginning Of
next. The plan is of John Slidelps conception,
and arises from his fear that the Administration
weight may injure Breckenridge aud Lane in some
States where it is necessary that they should suf
fer no losses.
Keitt's letter is regarded as a magnificent card
for Bell and Everett. The wording of the letter is
Mr. Kettle but the plan of was sketched several
weeks since at caucus 10 which Crawford Of
Georgia, Bayard of Delaware, Curry of Alabama,
Lamar of Mississippi, Wigfall of Texas, Ashmore
of South Carolina, and Shelton +. Leake Of Vir-
GINA took part. There were three or four others
present at the time, but their names have escaped
me, and are not worth taking much trouble to
recall

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, July "a, 1860.
ANOTHER DEFALCATION.
DefalcatiOn follows upon defalcation. The name
Of Major Sutherland, Quartermaster of the Marine
Corps, was yesterday struck from the roll of the
service by reason of his default to the Government
in e sum rising $4,000. He was suspended from
command some three months since, to enable him
to make good the default, but the suspension was
without effect to that end. His sureties are good,
and the amount for which they are liable is nearly
up to the amount of Major Sutheriand's indebted
ness.
An article in The Constitution of this morning is
ominous to the ofice-hoders. They had thought
from the Presidents speech, stating that every
Democrat was at liberty to support either nomi-
nation, "neither being regular" that they could
do 30, and that there would be no calls for sub
scriptions during this campaign. The Constitution
explains that they were not bound to support Mr..
Breckenridge on the score of regularity of nomina
ton, but on the ground that he is the true Ma
tional Democratic candidate. This is the justif.
cation for taking up subscriptions in the usual
way in the Departments for the Breckenridge in
terest. The thing has been going on for day or
two.
DOUGLAS IN THE SOUTH,
Miles Taylor has arrived to-day from Louisiana.
He is reported saying that the drift of things at
the South among the people, as distinguished from
the politicians is favorable to Mr.: Douglas. The
Douglas men here are in high spirits by reason Of
their great meeting at Mobile.
THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
hear that Gen. Cushing's friends are confident
that the vacancy on the Supreme Bench is to be
offered to him; but old political stagers predict
that that honor will not be conferred until after
the Presidential election
FOR THE NETHERLANDS.
