The late annual report Of that ofiicer, IN
which, it win be remembered, Butler was
alluded to in no very complimentary terms
by the COMMANDMENTS Chief.
Various stories are going the rounds with
regard to our relations with France and
Mexico. Not the least sensational Is the
report Of disposition on the part of our
Government to establish prOtectorate
over the donlinions claimed as an empire
by Macmillan and misnamed republic
BY Juarez. II IL very well to treat all such
rumors Is mere speculations, as they are
denied in high quarters. The presence Of
Lew. Campbell, the United States Minister
to the Mexican Republic, in this city, and
the unusual number Of consultations which
Mr.. Romero has had of late with Mr.. Sew
ard, has given rumor On impetus which
runs for ahead Of the actual truth Of
things. On the subject Of the Alabama
claims there have also been various state
ments. It Is very well known that Minis
ter Adams and the Secretary Of State have
had much correspondence on that particu-
lar subject; but no one has authority for
making definite statements thereon. When
the Government Is ready to make disclo-
sures on these subjects they will be made.
With regard to the case of the Baltimore
police commissioners there is yet conside.
rable comment and vast amount of spc-
culation. The Radicals, for some reason,
are anxious for riot, and talk Of resisting
the constitutional authorities Of the State
of Maryland as well as the forces of the
General Government, as If that will insure
for them o degree Of patriotism higher
than any yet known. Here 1t is openly
talked Of as q. certain event in case Co.
vernon Swami does not back down from
his position, and in some Of the depart
ments to-day 1t is asserted that he will do
30. That remains to be proved, however.
II Is truly . deplorable state of affairs
when State laws are compelled to be ST.
fenced by mob violence.
Reports concerning the political situa-
ton in the State of New York are not al
together pleasing to theRepublicans. They
seem fearful lest the majority which it is
asserted Hoffman will roll up in the city of ]
New York will 0verreach that which viii
be- against him in the Western counties,
where the Radicals have full sway.
The multitude Of political clairvoyants
who have some indefinite time in the flu
ture fixed for an exodus Of high officials
from the departments where they at pre-
sent pursue their irrespective functions
claim that between now and the meeting
of Congress many changes will be made,
cpd that the reason Of the present inac-
tivity arises from the fact that the prepa-
ration Of the annual reports prevents the
appointment of new incumbents just at
this time. It 10 asserted that Mr.. Chandler,
the Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
will certainly leave. OF this there Is no
doubt; bat not just now. These reports
Of official changes arc getting to be absurd.
They ought not to be credited until pub
lished In ct least semi official form.
Washington 10 becoming more lively, and
people are getting in readiness for the
next sssdon Of Congress. The weather
Has been beautiful ever since the termina-
ton Of the late heavy rain-storms. We
wonder u II % prelude TO the severe huf-
ricsAes which have been having their sway
atyasious points throughout the country.
