MR.. DOUGLASS PROSPECTS.
As efforts are being made 10 prove that an unseen
element is in the field against Judge Douglas, It
may be that The Star Of this evening gives out some
thing more than +" fitful and crepuscuar light" a
to the chances against him. 1t Gays tia. he can
receive but three votes from Massachusetts, six
from Connecticut, two from Mnnesots, FIVE from
Maine: and that after the third ballot there viii b
two votes against him from Indiana and six fros
Ohio. When we recall the feats that some Of Mr..
Douglass notable opponents have played 10 politics
we 1nay expect almost anything.
THE WOOD AND COOK DELEGATIONS.
Nobody supposes that the Wood or Ike " Cock
delegates will be admitted into the regular Convex
ton at Charleston. But should there be seccs-
sion of the extreme Fre-eaters, they may attach
themselves to the latter, and make nomination in
conjunction with them.
DOUGLAS IN NETWORK.
1t is stated here to-day by several prominent poll
tcians Of New-YOrk that Mr.. Douglas Is sure Of
that State. This sums up his stock 20 high that
very careful sort of men speak Of his nomination. sss
certain. To this do not subscribe, as several
Democratic Senators will certainly 90 TO Charles
ton TO oppose him with might and main.
CONGRESSMAN AS DELEGATES.
Mr. Bayard argued tO-day the superior fitness Of
CopgressrDen TO act as Delegates, just as the duty
of Democratic Senators to make platform was
asserted in caucus upon the ground that they were
the pick Of the Democratic party.
A PROSPECTIVE STORM.
PROFESSIONALLY there viii be stormy time at
Charleston, for the Slave Code doctrines will be-
tabled and resolution pressed pedging every DEL
egate to support the nominee
BLOCK FOR MR. SANDERS.
hear that the President says that if George n.
Sanders goes TO Charleston he will have to take into
consideration tho eZped.ency Of removing him from
Office. Mr.. Sanders says that the President may
have his Office if he wants it, bat it shall never be
said that he was such id fool as to oppose
Mr. Douglas.
THE PRESIDENTS LETTER TO MR.. WALKER.
1t is not true that the famous letter of the Pres
dent to Robert j. Walker has got into the hands Of
the former. The latter has the original, and copy
is in other hands. When the contents are made
known, as they soon will be, Mr.. Buchsuans
tIeacheIy and falsebood concerning Kansas matters
will be fully exposed. His game lstterly ha, been
to dine and wine tie most extreme men Of the
South, whom he urges to insist upon the nomination
of Southern man.
OFFICEHOLDERs FOR DOUGLAS.
The Oficeholders here, like those in New.York,
are secretly in favor of Mr.. Douglas, but declsra-
tions of such feeling might be dangerous. Re-
Gently some Government officials at Baltimore were
required to sign card to the effect that they did
not know what was going on at a meeting where
they were present, and where Douglas resolutions
were passed.
THE ADMINISTRATION CORRUPTIOSs.
Testimony has been given before the COvode
Committee showing that money was raised in the
Land Office to help pay of arrearages of indebted
ness incurred during the Presidential canvass.
EXTENSION OF PATENT.
The Hat Patent issued to H. A. Wells in 1876
and subsequently ressued to the assignees Of Wells
has been extended by the Commissioner Of Patents
for the benefit of the Administrative Of the in.
yentor for seven years. 1t was proved on the
Trial that the asceraned value Of the invention to
the public was so, 100000. 1t was also proved
that the inventors receipts fell below his expend
tures and that the family of the inventor was poor
and wholly dependent upon the gratuitous payment
to them of 81, 200 per annun by the assiguees Of
TIE resigned patent.
THE VOTE FOR MIR. DOUGLAS IN THE CoNvEs-
TON.
The Douglas leaders have been comparing notes
and summing up results this evening. 1 hear that
their estimate tallies closely with that of to-days
TRIBUNE.
To the Anocated Press
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April H. 1860.
The President to-day transmitted to the Senate cop
les Of additional correspondence with foreign gov
errments concerning the rights Of American NATURAL
lied citizens abroad. It is conducted throughout in
good temper the United States in ali repudating
tie doctrine of perpetual allegiance. IL appears from
these documents that twelve years ago the British
GoveTnn ent at the instance of Minser Bancroft re-
leased two naturalized Irishmen who were suspe;ted
Of aiding in the rebellion and engaged in 'treasona-
