THE ATTORNEY -aENERAIsHIP- srANBERY
RECOMMENDS THE APPOINTMENT OF MR.
| aRoEsBEcK.
Washington letter Of the 4th instant says:
| Mr.. Stanbery, who leaves tomorrow for
home, called upon the President to-day and
urged the nomination OF Mr.. Groesbeck as At
tornsy-General. The President hesitated in
consequence of Mr.. Groeebeck having been
his political enemies would say he was tender
ing Mr.. Groesbeck the situation in considera-
tion of his professional services IN the i'm
parchment trial. Mr., Stanbery, however, still
urged the nomination as one eminently proper
10 be made, and advised that such considera-

himself of Mr.. Groesbeck's abilities as q lawyer
and statesman. Mr.. johnson finally consented
10 consider the matter, and the probabilities

THE ADMISSION OF FLORIDA.
The New York Tribune's Washington CORES
pondent says:
There seems to be considerable opposition
among Republicans to the admission OF Florida
| for several reasons. In the new constitution
| is q singular proposition, in effect that every
owner OF real estate in the State is eligible to
hold any Office within the gift of the State.
The charge is made that the governor elect
Harrison Reed), originally from Wisconsin, was
| and assigned to duty in Florida. He is an in
innate friend Of Postmaster-G Randall,
and has been in close connection with him
since his arrival here. The Acknowledgements
or Ia Mr.. Clisson) also from Wisconsin, is also
one OF Randan's men, and, together with Heed,
| it is charged that they have been concoctlng
| plan to elect Mr.. Randall United States Sen
| ator from Florida. Reed has returned to Flo
| rida,it is said, for the purpose Of Immediately
calling together the State Legislature to elect
Mr.. Randall.
THE MEMORY OF PRESIDENT BUcHANAS-THE
SENATE REBUKEs TIE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TIvEs.
A Washington letter of Friday evening to
the Baltimore Gazette says:
The action of the Senate in adjourning over
one day as mark of respect to the memory OF
| ex-President Buchanan has produced con-
siderable ill-feeing on the part Of certain Radi-
| cal leaders in the House Of Representatives,
who charge that the action Of the Senate is q
direct rebuke attempted to be administered to
the House, which not only refused to adjourn,
but also rejected the resolution OF Judge
| Woodward offered in honor Of Buchanan's
memory. The Jacobins deny that their con-
duct is thus to be indirectly censured with
| impunity by their own par.isans in the other
end Of the Capitol, and are growing. around
like certain animals with oyer-heated heads.
The refusal of the. House to adopt promptly
Judge Woodward's resolution is now regard
ed by the leaders great political mistake and
one which is likely to tell severely upon the
| interests of their Presidential candidate. They
feel this and hence are sensitive to the just
rebuke of the Senate, whether intended as
such or not.

T1oNAL AMENDMENT"
