THE CALIFORNIA MAILS.
The arrangement of the California mails is like
" TO involve the Government in some serious diff
culties, which have not been considered. Our
postal treaty with England obligates US to bring
the South American mails, which come to Panama
BY the British steamers. 1t is known that DIR.
Vanderbilt has issued perempory orders not to ear
~ that mail, or those from California, after June
80, 30 that both the foreign and domestic mails
must lie on the 18th nus until some temporary or
other arrangement be made. In view of thi' ext
gency, it is proposed that several Of the swftest
Government steamers shall be specially detailed for
the service until the meeting of Congress. They
would be much better employed in that way than
idling at Aspinwall or dawdling ut Vera Cruz.
The Panama Railroad and Pacific Steamship
Companies are ready to extend their cooperation
to such movement, and the suggestion will be
made in the Cabinet tomorrow. There is strong
inclination to adopt any mode which will defeat
The designs of the rapacous monopolsts who have
planned this last scheme Of spoilation.
Messrs. Dayidge and Hoadley, who represent
the Pacific and Railroad corporations, have both
disclamed any sympathy or concert with Mr.. Van
derblt's scheme, and charge him with the entire
and exclusive responsibility of refusing to take the
mails. as he has control of the connection this
side.
Propositions have been informally made to carry
the mails by the San Antonio and other routes, but
The transportation is considered impracticable
an average of tun of matter daily, without more
extensive and better organized arrangements.
Even then doubt is entertained whether the bulk of
it could be conveyed throughout the year, with the
Interruptions of snow and other obstacles ia
Winter.
Mr.. Gwin has returned here in the hope of ef-
fectng some accommodation. He had taken pas
sage with his family on the steamer of Monday,
but left il when the mail was refused His IN
fuence with the Administration is necessarily i'm
paired, since tho rupture with the President last
week.
THE QUARREL BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
MIR. GWIN.
That was, perhaps, the most violent personal
scene which the President has confronted since en-
terng office, although he has had to encounter
many disagreeable passages. Mr. Gwln aud his
household bad been on the most familiar footing at
the White House, and through that relation, exer-
cised no little power elsewhere. The constant cx-
actions were found worse than annoying, and the
President finally refused some demand point blank.
This led to an explosion, and Mr.. Gwin told him
emphatically, that he was unworthy of friends,
and hencefortb, neither he nor his Administration
need expect any support at his hands.
Mr. Buchanan is not the man to forget such an
indignty. Though he may fail to resent it, he will
probably have pacific oyertures made to Mr.. Gwin,
as was done to his friend Robert J. Walker. But
if accepted, they will be followed by the same
result in one case as the other. Mr.. Walker con-
scented to reconciliation only to find himself again
deceived. But Mr.. Gwin knows better, and will
not take promises for satisfaction. He must have
his pound of flesh or the equivalent.
MIR. wENDELL's DEVELOPMENTS.
Mr.. Wendell, ii appears, has more developments
in reserve than were made before the COyOdc
Committee, where the crust only was broken.
When the President hesitated about signing the
bill for the purchase of Government printing
Office, which Mr.. Wendell assumed for satisfactory
reasons would result in the sale of his establish.
ment, information was communicated to him thGt
other disclosures would be made if he persisted in
refusing to complete the law. The bill was signed
whether that fact operated or not to hasten it.
THE GUILLOTNE.
The renewal of Mr.. Carroll, Postmaster at Mem
phis, Douglas delegate TO Baltimore, is only part
of the programme which Los been marked cut by
the Administration.
GEN. CASs'S RETURN.
No time has been fixed for Gen. Casss return to
Washing tOn. He may be absent the whole Snnl-
mer The President conducts the diplomacy.
POSITION OF MR.. DICKINSON.
Mr.. Dickinson sent word here recently that he
and his friends would not move in NeSYork until
every Douglas head was brought to the block. MIR.
| Buchanan had taken the resolution before the
message was received.
TIE FUSION IN NEW JERSEY.
As Senator Thompson is a member of the Breck-
inrdge Executive Committee here,i is presumed he
has not countcnanced the movement in New jersey
for coalition Electoral ticket which is openly de-
