SENSIBLE ADMISSION.
Leading Democratic Senators admit that tn
success of the Republicans ia inevitable but are
determined to make the fight in order to expo.
the weakness of Mr.. Douglas.
THE PROSPECTS or DOUGLAS SOUTH.
From present indications, Mr.. Douglas will have
hardly any organization South. His professsl
friends in that section retreating every day and
in scores. Mr.. Clingman, who has stood up for
him among the last here, will give in his adhesion
to Mr. Breckenridge as soon as the NORTH Carolina
Convention rati6es his nomination. Others are
seeking excuses TO back out since Mr.. Fitzpatrick
withdrew.
THE TREATY WITH SPAIN.
The treaty with Spain, for the adjustment OF our
outstanding claims was rejected by the Senate to-
day. because the Amistad case was specially men.
toned while Others were referred to q Commis.
sion for adjudication. Mr.. Mason was willing to
strike out the Amistad by name, aud LET it take
the same reference as the others, hut some Of the
opponents of that clause voted to retain it, and
then voted against the treaty. This blpnder may
involve us in future difficulties. Good policy re-
qured friendly arrangement with Spain, ana the
sc tlemenI of claims which have been used as o
pIetense for vexatiOus diplomacy.
THE MEXICAN TREATY.
The Mexican Treaty was nominally reconsidered,
and therefore goes over till next session. 1t re-
qured only majority, and there wss no disposition
to contest the point when pressed so earnestly BY
Mr.. Simmons. Messrs. Anthony and Wilson of the
Republicans voted with him to galyanize this corpse.
Juarez will probably be in exile before the treaty
is again considered, if present signs may be
trusted.
GENERAL JEsUP'S VACANCY.
Col. Joseph L. JOhnson'was nominated Quarter
master General, in place of General Jesup de-
ceased. He is an excellent officer, who has
achieved his distinction by merit, aud not fasort
ism. Mr.. Hale moved the nomination should Lie
over under the rule, and it will be coofrmed TO-
morrow, though there will hardly be quorum Of
the Senate. Col. Thomas of the Quartsrmastef's
Department, who was next in seniority to Gen.
Jesup, and other aspirauis, are much disap-
pointed at being oyerslaughed or neglected.
THE BOSTON POsT-OFFICE.
The President is inclined to order the Boston
Post. Office to the new building in Summer street
The restriction which was imposed Last March to
State street, having expired with this session, IA
attempt to renew that limitation failed. Interested
parties are now here urging the change.
THE CALIFORNIA MAILS.
No temporary or other arrangement has yet been
made for carrying the California mails via Panama.
The Postmaster-G General refuses to entertain any
proposition but one strictly within the provisions
of the law, which only allows the hostages. And
he Will not permit the mails to be carried with any
condition or recognized contingency by which
future ella IN may be preferred against Congress for
additional compensation. This strict interpreta-
-tion does not suit the steamboat owners.
-. THE CONSTITUTION TO BE SUSTAINED.
As The Constitution has hoistsd Mr. Breckin-
ridges name to-day, an effort may be made to
sustain it by his friends during the canvass, as its
stoppage now might be subject to mi.construction.
The investment will hardly pay dividend.
THE PRICE OF PRINTING.
TheP rinters of Congress and their confederates
are in quandary, since the reduction in the price
of 40 per cent, whether to throw up the work or
to continue and trust to Congress for an increase
of pay next Winter. They contend that tais
arbitrary discount is ruinOus, and that Mr.. Has.
kin's resolution proposing t"was ouly intended for
BuncOmbe.
The Senate first amended the resolution By
striking out 40 and inserting % per cent, intending
doubtless 10 defeat the whole reform, as there was
no time left to consider il if returned to the
House. A similar amendment was attached to the
Civil BILL but the Senate receded, and the whole
thing was considered cl sed after an jnsincere
demonstration, when Mr.. Crittenden called I'D the
House resolution on Saturday night, had the amend.
ment reconsidered and carried the resolution as it
came from the House, to the establishment aud dis.
gust OF the lobby, who were already counting their
gains and planning Summer excursions.
THE SUPERINTENDENT or PRINTING,
Mr. Heart, Superintendent of Printing, will not
be removed till after the adjournment of the
Senate, if at ALL AS the whole difficulty originates
from suspicion that he will favor the purchase of
Dir. WendelPs printing Office, it might easily be
obyiated BY inyit ng proposals. for building mater.
ais and machinery under the law. 1t will hardly
DO to start Government Office with battered type
and old materials, and the Committees IN Printing
