DEsrIcAnLE ATTACK.-The San Francisco
Bulletin has ever had the reputation of be-
ing most reckless i'll its attacks upon person.
al character, and has well earned it. It's la
test exhibition Of malevoence was contained
in its issue Of Monday last in a bitter and
most unmanly attack upon the character OF
Mr.. Edgerton, of Napa 1t was read here
with surprise and indignation 10y all who
are acquainted with that gentleman aud the
manner in which he has conducted himself
uniformly since the commencement Of the
session. The onslaught of the Baletin is
made upon the intimation that Mr. Edgerton
might possibly he elected United States SEN
ator in place Of W, NJ. G win. So far as his
fitness for that position is concerned, we are
not at this time called upon to speak, but
were we ever so bitterly opposed to lis pref
erences for the position, we would consider
it filthy business to attack his character in
such a scurrilous manner as the Bulletin has
INDUCED. The man who penned the attack
must be perfect saint, or the veriest hypo-
crite that ever dsgraced a tripod. Such
terms Of abuse betray weak cause and
must react upon the author.-Sac. Ac'cs

TRooPs AT WAsHINGToN.-A Washington
correspondent of the Alta says:
The city begins to look more and more
like an encampment. The President elect, il
is clear, is to have such an inauguration as
none of his predecessors ever had-in Artille-
ry Light and Heavy Dragons, and Infantry.
The army Quartermasters have entered in
to a contract for barracks for one hundred
men near the Capitol, and for stables for %
horses. Pleasant Inauguration day, Nice
time for women, fashion, and crinoljne!
Preparations are progressing for a grand
Union Inauguration Ball, to come off in this
city on the night of the 4th of March. 1t
is designed to be in no sense partisan affair."
but one in which Union men of all sections
and parties may join.
Early on Saturday morning, detachment
of fifty artillery men from New York arrived
here, and Immediately embarked for Fort
Washington where they relieved the corps
of marines, who have been garrisoning that
post for the past few weeks
The marines returned to the headquarters
of the corps on Saturday afternoon. This
reinforcement will make the force now at the
garrison much larger than it has been for
several years past, it numbering now nearly
two hundred and fifty.

TIE MONEY KING SuED-In the suit OF
James Porter VS.. A. j. King, which was tried
Tuesday, says the 5. +. Call, in the Fourth
District Court before a jury, judgment was
rendered in favor Of plaintiff for $3.50. Por-
ter had borrowed money of King on two
diamond rings, and given his note. At ma
turity the money was rendered for the note.
The defence set up, 1st, a denial of the value
I'd, denial of the tender of the money, and
Sd, that the defendant had been robbed of
the rings in question, together with large
amount of his own propeaty. The jury how
ever, gave verdict against the Money King.
This case will no doubt be appealed, as there
are a number Of articles alleged to have been
stolen which the rledgers would like to re.
cover The aggregate amount it is said will
reach $4,000

DOUGLAS AND CRITTENDEN.-The Portland
Advertiser thus comments on the late speech
Of Douglas:
Mr. Douglas recently made a speech in the
u. 5, Senate in support of Mr.. Crittenden
Compromise scheme His speech has given
great oifense to the Republicans, asimust the
speech of any one favoring compromise to
save the Union The secret is out when we
state that Mr. Douglas holds the Republican
party responsible for the existing troubles
which imperil the nation. And all good
men who love their country, more than they
love special political issues CT partisan
character, will hold this same party organiza-
ton responsible for the same thing. 1t will
be a difficult matter for that party to with
stand the Judgment that is being made up
against it, 1t is of no avail to talk about
making party capital out of the country s
distress. The idea now is to rescue that
country from the dangers that surround it,
Men are rising superior to party in order to
do this.
The Republican Washington correspondent
of the Bulletin thus ventilates his rage:
"Mr. Douglas speech in support of Mr.
Crittenden's proposition greatly disappointed
many of his best friends. 1t was expected
that he would rise entirely above partisan
considerations: but, on the contrary, he de-
voted himself to the aim of holding the Re
publican party responsible for the pending
troubles His speech will suit neither North
nor South The latter will never forgive
his refusal to sustain all their demands, and
on the other hand the North will rebuke his
attempt to make capital out of the country's
distress If he had simply placed himself
upon the policy of Popular Sovereignty,
offering it as a panacea and demanding of all
Union men of the North to come up and
concede that as a remedy for the pending
evils. he would have raised flag around
which strong party in the free States will
yet rally. But he abandoned that position,
abandoned the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and counseled submission 10y the
North to the Southern demands.

WAsHINdToN. February 2-The Assistant
Treasurer at New Orleans refuses to give up
the coin and bullion in the Branch Mint TO
the amount Of $3.50, 900, to the order of Sec
retary Dix, on the ground that the Branch
Mint has been taken possession of by the
State of Louisiana. On the receipt Of his
news, this morning, the President called an
extraordinary session of the Cabinet, and the
whole subject was considered. 1t IS under
stood that Senators benjamin and Siidcll
were sent for, to know if they were aware Of
this transaction, and the Government tele
graphed to the Collector and Treasurer to
know the facts connected with the seizure.

ton Post writes under date of February %,
as follows: Senator Sumner had an inter-
view with the President to day, in relation to
the offer of military aid by the Legislature of
Massachusetts,, for the defense of Federal
property and enforcement of the laws. Mr.
Sumner asked, What more can Massachusetts
do for the Union?' The President replied,
Adopt the resolutions offered by Mr. Crit
tenden.' Mr.. Sumner rejoined the public

siOle, and agree with that sentiment
