THE NEGRO APPOINTMENTS.

The most significant feature in the
foreign appointments made on Monday
is the nomination of three colored men
as Ministers Resident at Liberia, Hayti,
and Guatemala. at Port au Prince, K.
ID. Bassett. of Pennsylvania, relieves II.
K. Peck; at Monrovia, j. r. Clay, of
Louisiana, relieves John Seys, and at
Guatemala Silas A. Hudson relieves
Fitz Henry Warren. As Liberia and
Hayti are both negro Republics and
Guatemala nominal Republic, run on
the absolute Andy johnson system by
Central American Indians, the appoin~
tees, if good men, are in their right
places. There ia n prejudice existing
against negro blood in this country and
it's surest removal will be by gradual en-
croaches through elections where the
colored people predominate in numbers,
and the satisfactory discharge of duties
by such officers Appointments of col
ored men by the Executive and Senate. to
responsible home positions. excites rath-
ar than allays this prejudice. But the
designation of colored men to represent
this government in negro Republics is a
wise movement, and il has been inti-
mated these selections would be made
for services during the war. Certainly
hepuDllCanS Will aunlt It's pIOpIlcty,
and Democrats who lnveigh so loudly
against the negroes would not want any
of their ilk humiliated by being sent
TO an African Court. MIR. Clay has the
most pleasant nlission-at Liberia.
The Republic organized there by Amer
ican Africans numbers some 10000, con
trolling a quarter of a million of the
contiguous tribes. Mr.. Bassett OF Penn.
will have the most important mission
at Hayti. il being not improbable that
the half million Haytians will become
directly involved in the Cuban difficult
ties, either through coalition with the
Liberals or by collusion in harboring
privateers. If MIR. Hudson among the
Mesiizos succeeds in keeping his head
on his shoulders. drawing his salary AID
escaping the malaria, he will have ac>
complished the highest ambition that
would actuate any sensible person in
accepting the place. We have not the
honor of acquaintance with any OF the
gentlemen appointed, and refer our read
ers to eulogistic biographical sketches
that will probably appear in the Gazette
this morning.

HON. PIERRE sOULR.
A Former u. 3. Senator and his Son
Insane.

Apropos of the dispatch stating that
Pierre Soule, formerly u. S. Senator
from Louisiana and at one time a man
OF eminent promise, had been adiudeed
insane by the Courts, we give the fol-
lowing from the New Orleans Times of
March 2Oth. He was one of the Conn
missioners at the famous Ostend Con.
ference with Mason and Buchanan, and
gave it the firm attitude il assumed in
favor of acquiring Cuba.
The melancholy fact can no longer
be concealed. One of the brightest of
intellects and bravest of spirits has sunk
into hopeless imbecility. A rare genius
has suffered a total eclipse. Passions
once so strong. noble and generous,
faculties that were wont to engage the
admiration Of all, to illumine all SUBJ
Jects and diffuse a radiance in all cir
cles. nave succumbed To some mysteri-
Gus power, aud now thick darkness and
debility possesses the mind and soul of
one or the most gifted of cur citizens.
Yesterday petition was presented 10
Judge Duvigncaud by Messrs. Charvet
aud Duplantier, praying that Pierre
Soule be interdicted, and that curator
be appointed TO take charge OF his at
fairs. The petition alleges his perma-
nent and complete prostration and iDca-
pacIty. This distressing misfor. une has
'ong been known in the community,
From delicacy TO his esteemed family il
has not been regarded as proper to be
referred TO in the public prints. This
reason can no longer suppress the ex
preston OF our profound sorrow and
sympathy for the distinguished gentle>
man and his afflicted family. The un>
happy condition of Mr.. Soule has been
a &.
distressing character. His only son
some time ago manifested symptoms of
mental abberration. These have be-
come permanent, and now both father
and son demand the incessant care of
devoted relatives and friends. Those
who have known Mr.. Soule in his prime
as one of the most vigorous minded men,
with faculties of extraordinary brillian-
cy. and SO well preserved with tempe
rate, prudent, systematic habits. will be
surprised, as well as panied, to hear of
his infirmity. Only the most poignant,
deep and radical sorrow the most wear
ing, sgonizing and crushing of calami-
ties, could unseat an intellect so well
balanced by nature and long training,
so healthy developed and disciplined. |
Recalling the brilliant career of the af-
hicted gentleman, when the halls of
Legislation and the courts of justice rang
with the echoes of his melodious tones, |
and audiences were held enchained by |
his magical eloquence. when his noble |
presence in every ssemblage and on all
occasions drew upon him the admiring |
gaze of all beholders. the beautiful and
melancholy lines OF Shakespeare occur to
US with peculiar force and impressive>
ness

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Among the foreign appointments said
to be- agreed upon are j. Lothrop Mot
ley. of Massachusetts,, to supercede
Reverdy Johnson in England; Governor
A. g. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, 10 suc>
ceed Cassius NJ. Clay at st. Petersburg
and General Daniel E. Sickles, OF New
York, in place of General Rosecrans in
Mexico. Massachusetts has certainly
no need to complain of her fortune un-
der this administration-hav two
Members in the Cabinet, the Chairmen
Of two OF three of the most important
committees in Congress and the first
foreign mission, beside an innumerable
host of lesser officials. Nor has the
country, so far, any cause of complaint.
Motley will doubtless make an excellent
Minister He IL in the very vigor of life,

Harvard and bu rnished at tiottingen,

Legations, disciplined by the study of

historic research. His Dutch Repub~
lie" and UNITED Netherlands" are STAN
dard works throughout Christendom
and betoken abilities of the first order.
America could not do worse than TO
leave johnson there. nor, do we believe,
better than TO send Motley
Curtin goes TO Russia first class

oict that Sickles will be more success
