PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, PRO TEN.
There wac strong disposition among leading
Senators on the Democratic side to elect Mr.. Foot
President pro tenn, but his consent could not b
obtsined. He dscha. ged the most labcrious duties
of the chair throughout the recent session, and
with an ability and impartiality which extcrt~d
commentator from al sides. During the last nine
years he has presided more frequently than any
member of the bdy.
LINCOLN IN INDIANA.
Senator Bright admits frankly that Lincoln viii
carry Indiana by very large majority, and docs
not anticipate afy change of the Democratic pro-
gramme by which that result can be affected
THE NEXT HOUSE.
If any doubt was entertained az 10 the COM
plexiop Of the iext House of Representatives. 1t is
substantially removed by the present divisions
among the Democracy. No very great surprise
would be excited il the free States should send
nearly solid presentation Of Republicans.
THE SPANISH TREATY.
The injunction Of secrecy was removed from the
proceedings on tt Spanish Treaty to-day, but
subsequently reconsidered by the efforts Of those
who were mot instrumental in its defeat, but
the public American citizens who were Illegally
subjected to compulsory tiles in Cuba are do
prived of $l2s, coo which the Spanish Government
has always been ready TO pay, under the adjudi
cation Of proper eommisso.
QUARTERMAsTER-G GENERAL.
Col johnson was confirmed Quartermsstsr- Cen
eral today. The only point raised was whether
the President was reqnred to make the appoint
mept by promotion, or had the risht Of selection
urder the law. His fitness was universally con-
coded. The pewspa pers err in alleging or suppos-
ing this to be the officer who commanded in Utsh.
NO COALITION.
The Douglas leaders here openly ard defantiy
proclaim That they will consent to 10 coalition, or
comtii alton, or fus on of State tickets, such a.
gers Tor Mr. breckenridge. They are determined
TO fight the battle out squarely aud separately, aud
if they fail, 70 insure the fate for Mr. Brock
inridge. Overtures and suggestions have been
freely rendered them during the last few days, but
none baye been accepted or even entertained. The
effect of any such compromise would be the imme-
date Abandonment OF Mr.. DopelaA Mt the South,
ard the concs utratioD Of his Influence in the c0ss
States for the benefit Of bis rival; and failing in
hat, to carry the election into the House. and altl.
maiey 10 the Serate for Mr.. Lane. Mr.. Douglas
is Dot quite ready to sacrifice bimself for the ben
1ft of the enemies who persscuted him and broke
up the Convention. His charity is lot SO comprs-
hensiye.
TIE NICARAGUA TREATY.
The amendments the Nicaragua treaty, which
Dir. Coamer offered aud carried d es not impair
its value in any respect 1t simply requires that
the President shall NOT employ force at bic die
erection, for the protection of tho Isthmus trapsit,
OF without the previous 'ept of c sngress. This
is nothing more than reservation of the war
m king power, c,nfoed EXCLUSIVELY to Congress by
'te Constitution. Mr.. Buchanan appli,d in several
message. for the authority to employ Discretionary

ti"Dal HOTEL and intend to prosecute the canvass
vigorous! North and South. Large subscriptions
have been made 10 provide the sinews of war, and
il expected the campaign fund viii be increased

the Union, especially if heretofore afflicted with
Douglas proclivities.
