THE Piston MOVEMENT

Mr Buchanan encourages combinations witkhs
Douglas men in different States hoping BY Ast
mean, to prevent an election BY the people. sal

the House, t. carry it into the Senate for the b.
eft of Gen. LanS This is the reason why, inhi
speech from the White House, he declared aeitss
candidate to have been nominated according to y
usapes of the party. He alio prompted the n
posed coalition in Pennsylvania, which Mr.. dog.
lass friends have spurned. His professel ~.
TALLY for Mr.. Breckenridge Is insincere. h
only interest he feels in the ticket is for Con- Lse
who has been q supple instrument Of his Admi,-
traton throughout. This schene will fail. no mt
ter low much pressed, for the leading friendsof
Mr. Breckenridge understand Mr.. Buchana's
game and have expended nearly $500 10 telegrat-
ing over the country not to enter into any arraup
ment or bargain with the Douglas faction.
The proposed fusion in New-York, BY which v
Bell men are to be nominally transferred TO n.
Douglas, but really to Gen. Lane, was really CO.
triyed here Immediately after the Baltimore Co.
vention. Its managers and objects are perfecy
understood. If an election by the people could o

contemplated by few desperate managers y
their last hope, and Mr. Douglas should be returad
to the House as one the three highest candidste
he would have but one vote in that body-nliaoiL
The present probability is, he will not receive q
electoral vote, and cannot be regarded as serious
candidate.
THE PATENT OFFICE.
The business of the Patent Office continues 70
increase largely, ard beyond the ability Of its cleri
cal force to answer the public demands promptly.
About 100 or 100 new patents are issued weekly,
independent Of renewals, improvements aud the
Like.
THE TREASURY.
Mr.. Clayton, Assistant Secretary Of tho Treas-
ury, was sent to New.York recently for the purpose
of making some arrangement BY which the Depart
ment might be relieved of the immediate pressure.
SO, OO0 900 or 49, 900, 900 Of Treasury Notes, past
DUE have not been presented for payment, but
draw the rate of interest at which they were issued
until public notice be given by the Secretary. The
holders fare better under this arrangement if coz.
tinued than they would as purchasers for tho loan
which is to redeem these notes in the present state
of the money market.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The exact amount of appropriations made at tho
recent session cannot be ascertained, even sp-
proxmately, until the proof sheets of the laws ara
received from Messrs. Little & Brown. The public
acts have all been published here, and tho agsre-
gate is known in round numbers, but the private
bills, which figured up pretty largely, have yet to
be included. This delay of a month, after the
adjournment, for information which ought to be
ready Immediately, must be corrected.
DECLENsIOE OF MR.. LAMAR.
Mr.. Lamar, of Mississippi, declines reelection
to Congress, intending to accept Law professor
ship in Georgia. He is regarded as one Of tho
farest and ablest of the extreme Southern wing.
TAXING OFFICE HOLDERS.
The office holders here complain Of being
taxed to organize campaign clubs for BA. Brecken.
ridge, when Mr.. Lincoln's election is certain, and
they are endeayoriDg to prepare for general sIo-
dus after the 4th of March.
