cUsHINo's APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of Caleb Gushing as
Minister to Spain, in place of Sickles, is
understood TO mean that our government is
determined to have no more bunglng of
our diplomacy in Spain and wishes to re-
place our late hot-headcd representative
with cool headed and experience diplo-
mat. 1t is suspected that Sicklcs' misman-
agement has placed matters at Madrid in
such position that although 1t is a second
class mission our government must send a
iirst rate man to straighten them out. Next
to Charles Francis Adams no American is
better known abroad than Mr.. Cushing and
his appointment will dignity our Span
ish mission in the eyes of all the European
nations except the English, whose disfavor
Mr. Gushing earned by his attack on Chief
Justice Cockburn.
