Tho Jonanese are much exercised about the
furn of the NIAGARA. and cannot be made TO be-
lieve that il was occasioned by an accident. They
are fnly persuaded it is artifce to detain them
in this country, and insist upon immediate prep
arations for their departure. The Naval Commits
sion have not yet been able to remove this preju-
sNne. though every persuasion has been employed
10 satisfy them that they can reach Japan within
.be limited time, and still have abundant oppor-
tunity TO visit our principal cities, original de-
signed. This unexpected difficulty may interfere
materially with some of the projected arrange
ments in Philadelphia and New-York. In any
event, the Japanese ask to be relieved from going
out at night and attending balls, aud such specta
cles for which they have no taste, and which are
repugnant to their habits of life at home. They
manifest great interest in all useful and mechanic
arts, and express greater satisfaction at their
visit to the Navy. Yard and its workshops, than all
the public exhibitions.
THE MILITARY ACADEMY BILL.
The conference on the Military Academy Bill
killed off the proposed Texas Regiment and the
substitute which was designed of mounting two in
fantry regiments, thus saving Sl,OOO,0OO, which
The Senate endeavOred to impose under fictitious
clamor contrived in Texas, for the purpose of Sc
curing this expenditure, and to which some were
inclined to yield in the House. COrtina's rayages
were all ina ginary, except they were directed
against the Treasury.
TIE PENDING TREATIES.
II il not improbable that the President may call
an Executive session of the Senate immediately
after the Legislative adjournment, if the treaties
which are stl pending shall not be fully considered
before then. That with Mexico has expired, but
Aiata has received authority to extend the time
two months. In the present complications OF
Mexico which are more embarrassing than ever,
The Senate may well hesitate to act on that treaty,
especially as Lerdo, through whose Influence 1t was
mainly obtained, is alleged to be on the eve of
Withdrawing from Juarez's Cabinet, to be sue

to that treaty. to his Republican friends, but 1t Will

THE MISSION TO RUSSIA.
At the request of John Appleton, the President
las withheld his nomination for the mission TO
Russia. He is now urged by his friends to act as
counsel for the American claimants before the
Paraguay Commission, and as that viii prove
more profitable than the mission, he will doubtless
accept. Mr. AppletOns resignation as Assistant
Secretary of State filed two months ago IN
the department, bat the President desired Its ac-
ceptance deferred until now, when he reluctantly
consented. As some compensation to South Car
olina for Mr.. Picken's vacancy at st. Petersburg,
w. III. Trescott of Charleston has been rendered
Mr. Appleton's place. He has respectable parts,
is well educated, and afflicted with various dplo-
matte theories of little value 10 the practical
routine of the department.
A PANACFA FOR THE DEMOCRACY.
Senator Nicholson assured a circle of anxious
Democrats to-day that panacea had been found
for all the maadies of the party IN the probable
nomination of Ex-Governor Seymour OF New-1

Our friends are agreed. Let the Democracy lay
down the platform and open the ball.
