ITALIAN DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS s.-King Victor
Emanuel has made changes in two of the most
important foreign missions in the gift of the
Italian crown-those TO Washington and Lon
don. BY telegram from Florence we are in
formed that Sgnor Bertinatti has been com
missioned to the United States, relieving
Signor Marcello Cerrut, and that Signor Cador-
M, who made himself so active in the sup
preston of the home mill tax riots, is to be
despatched to London, to take the position
now held by the Marquis d'Azzelio. 1t is not
likely, however, that Italy will undertake any
marked change in her plan of diplomacy to-
wards either government

great constitutional questions of individual

A RADICAL CRITICISM ON ONE OF GRANTS
APPOINTMENTS. is folly to expect that the
appointments Of any new administration will
give universal satisfaction. Where one appli-
cant is successful hundred are disappointed,
and, with their friends, the latter go about
growing like bears with sore heads, until they
learn to appreciate the fact that the pursuit of
Office is one of the meanest occupations re-
spectacle people ever engaged in, and are
content to engage in some legitimate and
honest employment. There is some point,
however, about the following paragraph,
which we find in the Harrisburg (Pa.) State
Guard, radical paper 1--WE can say to the
head of the nation that if he sends an impair
tial gentleman to Harrisburg to ascertain the
state of real public feeling here on the subject
of the Post Office appointment, he will find
that the man appointed is the most obnoxious
in all respects in Harrisburg, and that the
manner in which he was forced into Office over
the heads of q soldiers widow and surviving
hero Of the war is regarded az one Of those
high-handed acts of tyranny which disgust
an intelligent people and weaken their conf
dence in the men who represent them"
The New York herald., 1869-04-13
The wild Hunt for once.

Although some thousands Of the faithful
have been rewarded and most of the first class
places inside the United States have been dis
posed OF, the wild hunt for Office still continues.
The vast and hungry swarm of expectants
which filled the Washington hotels and board
ing houses for the first week or two after the
Inauguration has melted away; but numerous
little gangs of claporous and hopeful ofice-beg-
gars still hang around the great charity hospi-
tails at both ends of the avenue. There were con-
siderable gatherings yesterday at the Treasury,
the Interior and the Post Office Departments, and
quite crowd of hopeful pilgrims at the White
House, Greeley being the most conspicuous
figure in the procession. The unsettled foreign
missions and internal revenue offices of this
city were the marrow bones of contention, and
with from six to dozen applicants with their
papers and hackers for every place, and with
Greeley in the foreground and Dana bringing
up the rear, it may well be imagined that
General Grant had a hard days work. But
they say he takes it all with wonderful
patience, except when his cigar goes out and
he has not another conveniently at hand.
We begin to feel interested in the misfor-
tunes of Greeley and Dana. 1t has been said
that General Grant is not student over books
nor reader of newspapers. We fear, how
ever, that he has learned that Chief Justice
Chase was, even down to Tammany Hall, the
first choice of Greeley for the succession to
Andy Johnson, and that the hero of Vicks-
burg was only vigorously taken up at last by
"Old Whitley" as Hobson's choice, and that
consequently this hesitating Hobson has only
the claims upon this administration of an
eleventh hour man in the vineyard. We fear
that General Grant remembers the services of
Dana In the Army of the Southwest rather as
those of Stantons overseer than in any other
light, and that accordingly the General has no
very grateful recollections of Dana in the
tented field. We fear, too, in this military
view of the subject, that Danas volunteer efforts
in behalf of Greeley's promotion to the Court
of St. James have been rather dead weight
than benefit to Greeley, and that the unfor-
tunate philosopher, aware of this, has been
not less anxious all this time to get rid of his
superfuous friend than was poor Sinbad the
Sailor to be relieved of "the Old Man of the
Sea-" Well, patience is great virtue; and 40
we cannot discover any special comfort in the
grist Of nominations sent in yesterday for
either Greeley or Dana, the best we can do for
them is still to recommend patience, and to re-
mind them that we cannot all be captains.
The New York herald., 1869-04-13
The Foreign Appointments.

The President sent up to the Senate yes
terday an important budget of foreign appoint
ments, in which, it will be first observed in a
general review, he reafiirms his policy on the
negro question to be, equal political as well
as civil rights to the black man with the white
mana new departure.
Separately considered, we are gratified to
find at the head of this list the name OF
J. Lothrop Motley, the historian, for the mis-
sion 10 England. Mr.. Motley, it will be re-
membered (appointed by President Lincoln),
was our Minister to Austria under the late
administration, but being called to account by
Secretary Seward for certain conversational
remarks charged upon him by one McCracken,
to the prejudice of President Johnson, Mr..
Motley Indignantly resigned. This affair has
not been to the disadvantage of Mr.. Motley
with General Grant. Upon the solid qualifica-
tions, however, of Mr.. Motley for the English
mission his nomination will be universally
approved, and if we are not greatly mistaken
his diplomacy on the Alabama claims will be
widely different from, and more to the purpose
than, the English dinings and winnings of
Reverdy Johnson.
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, for
Russia, is selection doubtless mainly due to
the active services to the Union cause of this
Governor during the war, and in every respect
he will, we dare say, be an Improvement upon
the Minister he succeeds. John Jay, Of New
York, for Austria, is good appointment, and
thoro will ho cd
ing it. John S. Carlisle, of West
Virginia, for Stockholm, is man
of recognized abilities, but we sup
pose that he owes his appointment mainly
to his services in the outset of the war, in the
movement which detached West Virginia from
old Virginia and the rebellion and made of her
q new and stanch and steadfast Union State.
J. R. Clay, of Louisiana Gan aristocratic
darky of New Orleans), for Liberia, is said
to be a man of high accomplishments but
this was the very place for Fred
erick Douglass (colored), provided he
would consent to exile himself in
distant negro republic with nothing around
him but niggers. We think he would not, and
Clay may, refuse to go. But in this colored
Clay, and in Ebenezer D. Bassett, of Penn
sylvania (colored), for Minister and Consul
General at Hayti, the claims of our fellow
citizens of African descent are flatter-
ingly recognized, and they ought to
be happy. When the late James Bu-
chanan was our Minister at London he
was brought in contact at court reception
with strapping negro in gold lace repre-
senting the empire of Hayti. ''What do you
think of him?" some one asked the Minister
of the United States. 81 think" said
Buchanan, ''that that fellow in New Orleans
would sell for fifteen hundred dollars" We
have had wonderful revolution since that
day, and its wonders are just beginning to be
revealed
The New York herald., 1869-04-13

TRIED IN THE FIRE.-We must be choice
party in this town-the mass of people making
up the decency of city life. One of our par
sons produced on Sunday the argument that
of every hundred young men who start from
the country to endeavor city life ninety seven
go to the devil or perish at some station on
that line, and only three succeed in their
original object and become respectable citi-
zens. At this rate we are well winnowed
selection and represent higher average of
morality and virtue than can be found else
where. Our three hundred thousand decent
people are chosen from nine millions of coun-
trymen. What a weak and wicked set they
are-those fellows in the rural districts!
The New York herald., 1869-04-13

The ANNEXATION OF CANADA. Under our
old reciprocity treaty with Canada we col
lected, in 1865, ss,3s7 duties on something
over thirty-six millions of imports. Upon
twenty-eight and half millions of imports we
last year collected three and fourth millions
of dollars duties without any reciprocity
treaty. These are solid arguments for the ad-
vocates Of Canadian annexation. They indi-
cate what an immense benefit Canada would
derive by being linked to us. The trade Of
1865 would, however, be but small figure in
comparison to what would be rapidly devel-
oped in that event. Canadian, English and
american interests all point to the question Of
annexation as one which must occupy the at
sention of the Interested governments at avery
early day.
The New York herald., 1869-04-13

TREATIES BEFORE THE SENATE. The United
States Senate reassembled yesterday under
the Presidents proclamation. Members went
into executive session and ratified sew
eral treaties, and concluded with the minor
States of Germany for the protection of natu-
rallied American citizens returning to the
Continent Of Europe. The provisions are
similar to those of the original measure on this
subject concluded with Prussia. Senator
Sumner delivered q lengthy address in sup
port Of the Cushing treaty relative to the
Darien ship canal, pointing out the great ad-
vantages which would ensue to our commerce
on two oceans from its ratification and an
agreement with the United States of Colombia.
The subject remains for consideration and
action.
The New York herald., 1869-04-13

Peters church, which stands on the corner Of
Barclay and Church streets, is in the line Of
one of the big railroad jobs, and if the bill
passes the jobbers will have authority to de-
molish the church and pay some ridiculously
incommensurate price for it. This fact has
brought out the pastor, who denounced the
job from his pulpit on Sunday. The Down
East parsons have thought politics ft for the
pulpit, and there is more reason for denounc-
ing from the same place this pest of our city
so intimately allied with public immortality.

A FLARE-up IN THE WHITE HoUsE-SENAr

A FLARE-Up IN THE WHITE HoUsE-SRNAroR
Ross RAMPANT.--We refer the reader to our
Washington dispatches for the details of a
funny flare-up in the White House yesterday
on the part of the rampant Senator Ross OF
Kansas, and all about his imaginary share
of the spois. He was like the sheep that
went up to the goats house for wool. He
came back shorn. AS one Of the immortal
seven who saved Andy Johnson on the
impeachment, he perhaps thought he
was big man, and had the right of
a Conscript Father to speak his mind
freely to Johnson's successor. But he lost his
balance, swelled up into towering passion,
used some profane expressions, as they say,
lost his case, and left in rage. In BRIEF as
it appears, Ross, in attempting to play boss,
has met with loss, and has found that he
can't play the bully with Grant Should
occasion require, we hope that the President
will repeat the prescription to every other
Senator who may approach him after the
alleged dctatoral style Of Ross.

MAXIMUM VEoTIaAL EST PARsIMoNIA The

believe Cicero fool for saying that economy
is the greatest revenue. ''He might as well
have said twice four make two, argue they /;
''for 1t stands to reason that the more money
we let Jimmy squeeze out of the citizens of
New York the greater will be his revenue; !;
