(sccretary Chase's Private OTgahD
thinks of MIR. LtncOIn's Foreign
Ministers.
There can be no reasonable objections
offered to sending abroad reinforcement
for our foreign Ministers. We never
felt that we could congratulate the coun-
try upon the Presidents sagacity in
selecting our representatives to foreign
Courts. Charles Francis Adsms is the
best of them, but doubts arise as to wheth-
er he is as vigilant and energetic as the
case demands. Burlingame, who was
was rejected by Austria and sent to CHI
ma, is not of any particular account on
either side of the world. Carl Shurz dis
graced himself as an importunate office
beggar, and having demonstrated in many
speeches the impossbility of the ultra
Southern States standing their ground in
q war with the loyal part of the Union,
should be at home making his words good,
instead of lingering at Madrid, where he
is like fish on dry land. Harvey, the
Minister to Portugal, would be doing
great deal better if he were letter-wrltmg
and lobbying at Washington. Cassius NJ
CLAY demonstrated his want Of diplomatic
tact and common sense in his letter to the
London Times and his Paris speech. Dan
Judd has not made himself particularly
eminent at Berlin, and we do not know
that there is any reason to suppose he Is
likely to do anything more patriotic than
the regular drafts for his salary and the
care of his health may indicate. John La
throp Motley is a man of genius, and it
is gratifying to see himrecognizcd by the
Government. Still, he is not the right
man in the right place. He should have
been our Minister in the country OF which
he is the great historian. Our weakness
in France. The Hon. VIM. L. Dayton
is very respectable old gentleman, and
quite as good as the late Jno. y. Mason,
but he is one of the last men in the world
who should have been selected for French
Minister. But he was q candidate for the
Vicc-P Presidency in 1856, anda great man
in Jersey, and to bring him to the surface,
was good way to eyadc the appointment
of Fremont as Minister to France. Then
good old Mr.. Pennington, the automatnm
worked by small boy Speaker of the
House, had son who who wanted to spend
some time in Europe. And the good old
people of Jersey must be accommodated.
So we have Dayton Minister and Penss
niagton Secretary of Legation--neithcr
of them able to speak word Of French,
and both constitutionally inefficient in
managing international business. BY sin
gular good fortune Mr.. Bigelow, Consul
at Paris is able to talk French, and is
scholar, man of the world, and man of but
siness enough, to be able to counteract to
some extent, the operations of the alert
and accomplished representatives of the
rebels in Paris. Thurlow Weed and Arch
bishop Hughes (both, it will be remem-
bered, particular friends ofour Secretary
of State), are sent over to reinforce our
corps of representatives; and Gen. Scott
is said to be on the point of sailing for
France, to serve his country, procure sur
gical aid, and meet his wife, who has been
spending the summer in Paris.
