THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION.
The National Democratic Committee do not er.
pect to make any change of place for holding ths
Convention at their meeting on the 9Th Of April.
but only to satisfy outside sentiment By considering
the subject. Mr.. Smaly contracted to pay s., 500
for the hall alore. When the Cincinnati Conyen-
ton agreed to adopt Charleston, it was upon thu
appeal and assurance Of Gov. Manning Of South
Carolina that there would be ample accommoda-
ton and hospitality.
RECOVERY OF JUDGE TASEY.
Judge fancy has sufficiently recovered to re-
sumo his seat in court.
THE ADMISSION or KANSAS.
IF Southern candidate should be nominated at
Charleston as is now anticipated, it is probable the
Senate may consent to the admission Of Kansas un-
der the Wyandot Constitution, fearing to raise
that issue in the Presidential canvass. The Demo
Gratis of the South however, are reluctant 70 make
this concession and will not, except in the last re-
sOrt.
TERRITORIAL BILLS.
The Committee on Territories in the Senate,
directed its Chairman at the last meeting to pre-
pare bills for Nevada, Pixies Peak Dakota, and
Arizona in the ordinary form, to be submitted next
Thursday. No condition in regard to Slavery was
proposed, but may be before they are presented to
the Senate The House Committee have this sub
iect still under consideration, aud will proba-
bly adopt the general boundaries for the new
Territories proposed by the Senate, excluding
Arizona. They intend, however, to assert the
prr cipe distinctly in some form, that Slavery does
not and cannot exist in these Territories unless es-
tablished by law; thus cOntroyertng the sssump-
ton contained in the dictum Of the Supreme Court,
that it is carried there by the Constitution. This
may be, and perhaps, will be done BY declar-
atory clause, and not by provise as has been re-
ported II cannot fail to command support In the
House outside of the Republicans, but will be OBJ
stnately resisted in the Senate. As both Houses
will adhere to their positions, the probability IL, all
Territorial bills will fail this session.

examine the Navy Yards, exhibits fragrant abuses
and extravaganza at Boston, New York and Phila-
delphia Several reforms connected with the Store
keepers Office and Yard at New-YOrk are recon-
mended.
MORE ADMINISTRATION CORRUPTi0Ns.
The removal of Mr.. Van Dyck from the District
Attorneyship philadelphia will be soon be followed
by some interesting revelations, as he formerly pos
sessed the full confidence of the President and is
familiar with the means by which his election in
1856 was secured This change indicates the pur-
pose of Mr.. Buchanan to exercise his remaining
power in Furnishing all officials who set up for inde
pendent action at Charleston, and was designed
as q significant admonition to others.
THE TEXAS REGIMENT.
The Military Committee of the House took no
action on the Texas Regiment proposition at the
meeting to-day, there being barely "a quorum pres
ent. The present inclination is decidedly ayerse to
fixing this additional expense on the War Depart
ment.

siderable lobby in the House. including those espe-
ciay who are most active and interested in repre-
senting to the contrary through various newspaper
1t requires to be ventilated.
PAY OF NAVAL OFFICERS.
The debate in the Senate seemed to indicate that
the bill for increasing the pay of Naval Officers
would pass substantially as recommended by the
Committee, though Mr. Fessenden's substitute is
admitted to be much clearer, and more explicit in
many respects.
A DESERTER.

ing recently that Hendrick B. Wright one of his
fuelemen in Pennsylvania, was here, REASONABLY
advocating the nomination of Mr. Douglas. His
friend, Mr.. Montgomery, has also defaulted. Both
are communicated.
GEN. LANE AT CHARLESTON.
Joe Lane rests his hopes at Charleston upon tho
possible reversion of support from other candidates,
as he will go before the Convention with positive
strength. Mr.. Buchanan has regularly adopted him
as his preference, and is the open advocate Of bis
pretensions, hoping by some such accident to pro-
long the rule of bis dynasty 1t is said that Secre-
taty Thompson of the Interior Department also
supports him.
