ton and support Of the above resolution
Mr.. CLARK asked the attention of the Committee Of
Mi arr AfGrs to communication in the Enquirer OF

to reach thcss who had already perpetrated them.
Mr. SPARROW remarked that the bill from the Mill

this day would rem dy one OF the evils aimed at by the

How APPOINTMENTS ARB SOMETIMES
MADE.-Gen. Scott in his autobiography
furnishes bit of scandal relating to ap-
pointments by the President. In Feb
ruary, 1928, Major General Brown died +;
and a new major general-in-chief was to
be appointed. Scott was the senior. But
Mrs. Mason Of Anacos Island, Georgetown,
desired the appointment of Gen. Macomb,
because he had promised to place her SON.
in-law, Lieut.. Cooper, then at Fortress
Monroe, upon his staff. Mrs. Mason in
duced Mrs. Rush to prevail upon Mr.. Rush,
the Secretary of State, to persuade Mr..
Adams, the President, to appoint Macomb,
and this intrigue was successful. The
Lieut.. Cooper, who thus got his staff ap-
pointment, in order that Mrs. Mason
might be near her daughter, his wife, is
now the rebel adjutant general.

Par Mobile Fratrun.

The N. Y. Tribune, abiding to the fact
that MoCLRLLANs name is used in connec-
ton with the New Jersey Senatorship says:
Hereupon an intrigue j. on foot to defeat his
election by On unacknowledgcd alliance be.
tween the Unionisls in the Legislature and Ger.
tain intensely Copperhead wireworkers. If
the disciples of Vallandighain can give US three
or four votes for Mr. Ten Eyck, let us accept
them with due gratitude.
The N. Y. INecs abiding to the same
fact says:
We hope that the Democracy Of New Jer-
sey will be on the alert TO defeat such q move
ment. Gen. Mcclellan i, linked to the corpse
OF the War Democracy. and the most fitting
place for both is political sepulchre.
A few weeks since the Tribune was
falsely asserting that Gen. MCCLELLAN was
a Oopperhead of the worst sort, and now
it confesses that the intensely Copper
head wireworkers" are conspiring to de-
feat his election to the Senate, and propo
ses to accept with due gratitude three or
four votes from the "disciples of Mr.. VAL
LANDIeHAM." The Ne,us is willing to CO.
operate in this movement. GREELEY and
BEN WOOD are still in partnership, and
play into each others hands splendidly.
They are couple of nice young men
both equally "loyA" and honest.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

1t is rumored in intelligent quarters
that General Fremont's commission as Ma
ior General will be restored to him, and
he will be ordered to the command ofthe
army of the James. in place of Gen. But
Ter, when the latter shall be made Secre-
tary of War. 1t is possible that Gen. FIRE.
mont may be sent to Paris.
The structures of Maj. Gen. Pope on
the mismanagement of our Indian affairs
has walked up Commissioner Dole, of the
Indian Bureau of the Department of the
Interior. 1t is supposed he will oppose
Gen. Pope's proposed reforms.
The Richmond Ezominer has an az
ticls on the capture of the Florida, which
it calls contemplate Yankee trick. It
says:
Brazil will, Of course, remonstrats Unless
she can interest great maritime nations, her re.
mOnstrances will be wholly in vain. There
has lately been GOODNESS between the Emperor
and the British Government. Diplomatic re-
latiOns were suspended for that and other rea.
sons. The protest from England, if any, will
probably be cold and easily answered BY Mr..
Seward. France and Brazil are on very friend
~ terms, yet there are considerations which
may cause France also to be very cautious in
stirring the matter too roughly. We need not
expect any serious trouble to grow out of It.
The good ship Florida is lost. Our command
ers will have learned that they had better for
the future avoid all ports except those of Eng
land and France and their colonies.
