FROM WARRINGTON.
ruHDEAp LOCK.

w ARLINGTON, April T.-On "Wednesday teie-
craphed you that it an understood thlng on the
mart of the majority in the Senate to decline acton
on any of the new appointments oil the President IN
cases where an incumbent had been removed with
out any other than being thought an opponent
of the Presidents policy. This decision of the ma
jority has already been put in practice and will,
hear, be firmly and uniiinc hngy adhered to. 1t is
asserted however, by the friends of the President
that this action of the Senate will not cause him to
waver an instant in the course he has fit to pur
sue but that he will go on and make such removals
as in his judgment may appear necessary. 10
prominent gentleman, yesterday, he asserted that he
would appoint no man to Office who did not give
cordial and hearty support to his measures for the
restoration of the Union, and he further intimated
that no avowed opponent of those measures now IN
office would be allowed to remain there.
This is bold stand to take, but those who know
the President intimately say that he IS fully capable
Of maintaining it.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL,
on which so many charges of corruption lave been
rung for few days past, defeated in the House
to-day by n majority Of twenty votes. Thad. Ste
vens made a very determined Struggle in its behalf
but as most all of the members from the Central

'. SOMETHING LIKE CHOLERA
Cutie an excitement was created yesterday among
the residents of the section of the city known as nur
der BAY" by the sudden illness of seven conrabands
from eating catfish, by which man and woman died
and the rest made seriously sick. The circumstance
created panic, on the suppostOn that the disease
was cholera.
TROUBLE WITH FRANCE.
There is every reason to believe that we are on the
verge of very serious misunderstanding with
France If the recent opinion of Attorney General
Speed, that arms may be sent to the Juarists IN
Mexico, is followed by corresponding action it will
surely be regarded by the French Government as a
violation of Mr.. Stewards pledge of absolute ned
traty and the French troops in Mexico instead OF
being withdrawn, will be REINFORCED.
JEFF DAvIs's HEALTH FAILING.
The rapidly falling health of JEFF Davis is said to
be the reason why the President has granted pernis
sion to Mrs. Davis to visit him.
