THE NEW CABINET.

TRIBULATioNs OF HORACE GREELEY
The n. Y. journal of Commerce, in mischief thus
makes fun of the philosopher of the Tribune: :"
Mr.. Greeley, some time since, retired from the
firm of Seward, Weed Co., and gave to the head
of tho firm notice of his withdrawal, in long letter
the contents of which were divulged by Mr.. RAY
mond OF the Times on the occasion of his memorable
visit to Auburn soon after the Chicago Convention
aud which, in consequence of such disclosure, Mr.
Greeley compelled to publish. Pursuant to
fair notice given, Mr.. Greeley went to Chicago to
prevent the nomination of Seward for President; and
he did it. Refused admission to the convention from
his State where the Republican party was managed
by Seward and We he was taken up as founding
by the young State of Oregon, and thus enabled to
strike blows in as well out of the Convention
which told against the New York aspirant for the
Presidency. Mr.. Seward was defeated-defeated
too through the instrumentality of Mr. Greeley
But the latter, while enjoying sweet revenge over
his PROSTATE foe, had not the felicity of SEEING his
own favorite nominated. Bates, too, was sheiyed.
but it was natural for the enemies of Seward. and
especially one who had been so prominent in clear
ing the course for Lincoln, to hope for favor at the
hands of the President elect.
Alas for all human expectations Greeley has
been showed aside Weed invited to Springfield to
help make up a Cabinet, and on the day named by
the President for public humiliation. Mr. Greeley
thereof
With Mr.. Seward at the head ofthe Cabinet how
about the patronage for the State of New York?
But the trouble does not end here. The Tribune
friend) for Speaker of the New York Assembly
and went up on New Years day to execute that lit
tie job How he succeeded, the public have al
| ready been informed. Robinson, the Tribune can
didate, defeated, and Littleohn is again cuck
of the walk at Albany.
The troubles of our contemporary do not, how
ever, even now come to close. Scarcely had lie
got comfortably back to his sanctum from Albany
before his favorite candidate for Speaker for whom
he had written and talked and travelled, was guilty
of fiat treason to his frien.
The Tribune is against compromise, concession,
justice or fair dealing the question of slavery in
the Territories or slavery anywhere, and especially
is opposed to the plan which has the joint support
OF the two leading party papers in this State the
Atlas and argus, and the Ecen'n9 Jornot,) for the
admission of all remaining territory at once as
States. What, then, must have been the astonish-
ment of its editor on learning that Mr.. Robinson,
for whom he had made such powerful effort had
actually introduced into the Assembly soutions
endorsing that very proposition. This act, which
Will probably receive the approval of the Legisla-
ture and people of the States fills up the cup oe our
neighbours afliction and commends him to our sym
patty. He has told us thousand times that the
country suffering for the great national sin of
slavery; but we will not retort by changing his
multiplied caamities to the partizan and fierce aei-
taton Of the slavery question. Better is it to leave
him to that sef-examination which is appropriate
| to the circumstances
| Let us Join our sympathies in behalf of a brave
but fallen political aspirant. Let US drop tear,
as we contemplate his misfortunes; and if we are
forced to conclude that this slavery agitation has
returned to plague the inventor" let US neverthe
less extend to its foremost champion the ''compli-
pliments of the season." and advise him next to try
his chance for United States Senator.
| The BEE ANNOYANCE IN CALIFoRNIA.-Since the
extensive importation and production of bees in
California, they have become, in many respects a
source of great annoyance The housekeeper in
cooking, the grocer and fruit dealer, all have them
| swarming by hundreds, and perhaps thousands
around their premises, rivalling the house fly il
troublesome propensites. Sacramento coal
dealer recently obtained quantity of coal which
had cask of molasses broke over it.. When il
was brought into the yard, the bees collected il
such quantities that hesspent half day with host
in washing off the coal in order to remove the
temptation. They have partially DESTROYED the
produce OF several vineyards Sacramento
when the grapes were gathered it was found tina
the little thieves had extracted the juice. As mat
ter OF course, large number of bees are necessa-
rily destroyed while poaching on forbidden ground
Is there remedy for these difficulties, asks the
Sacramento Nei0s. Can bees be kept from annoy
ing everybody but their owners, and at the same
time preserve their own lives, or must the evil
complained of continue to increase in magnitude:
