How to Maxx Carirat ror Senator Dovs- Las —While greatly amused, as every one else in Washington bas been, with the lively and often truthful personal sketches of gen en now in public life here, published in the New York Times over the signature of “Nobody,” we are at the same time forcibly struck with the boldness with which the writer essays to turn them to the ad. vantage of Senator Dougias’s hopes of obtaining the Charleston nomination. Were thie feature of them confined to what he says of things— pelitics—it would not be worth while to criticise the writer's speculations; but he cannot essay to describe any gentleman personally, known as be- ing decidedly opposed to the nomination by the Democracy of him who coaxed Messrs. Hickman, Haskin, Adrian, & Co., to the verge of the precipice from which they leaped into the arms of the Republican party, without grossly misrepresent- ing them. This trick of the otherwise clever writer in question, is most glaringly apparent in his recent sketches of Senators Fitch and Gwin, caricatures most unmercifully, and in exhibits a total lack of that knowledge of the individual public history of American statesmen of the times, which every native born citizen connected with the press has of course at his finger’s ends. ‘The fact that such misrepresentation of gentle- men is essayed evidently for the benefit of senator Douglas, will do his cause more arm than good; for public opinion will of course hold him morally recponaible for it, a8 he is held responathle for the Monstrous stories concerning the state of Demo- cratic party sentiment throughout the South with reference to him, so {ndustriously written from this city, to screw his would-be partizans, in States that cannot possibly give Democratic-party majorities, up to the work of seriously undertaking to thrust him, as the Presidential candidate upon the States that will vote the Democratic ticket; every one of which repudiate him as heartily as they repudiate his doctrine that Territorial Legis- latures made by abolition aid societies’ tools, may lawfully exeInde sl«very from United States Territories Tua Sovruesn Matrs.—We do net know that there was ever before ao general complaint as at Present concerning the irregularity and dilatori- ness of the Southern mails. We are usually in- disposed to give ear to such complaints, becanse the trouble is generally not fairly chargable upon the Pest Office Department. Now, in case the inability of the Department to keep its engage- ments with the contractors has placed it at their merey. As they ere not being paid, of course they will pay less attention to due observance of the regulations for their government The fault is with Congress altogether, which bas failed to enable the Department to pay them, and the couutry will very properly hold that body respon- sible, and not the Department. In the matter of the yreat Southern mail, however, the Department does seem fairly chargable with the fact that the wails between New York and New Origans are how regularly two days behind passengers br- tween the same points. The latter take the new South railread route, and thus travel from Wash- ington to New Orleans in three days The former are transported over the old route, and require five days to make the journey. We do not know that the Department has lawful authority to change the route of a mail until the expiration cf the full teria cf the existing contract for its trans- portatioa. 1 it Las, however, its failure to avail the mails of the so much greater speed of the new route will continue, aud very justly, to generate invidious comments wherever the public are in- terested in having the great mails of the country keep pace with the progress of the times in the matter of speed We doubt not that until it is in the power of the Department to make a regular and formal coutract with the companies forming the route, they will transport a through letter mail for a merely nomi- nal compénsation; as it seems to be clearly their interest tv demoustrate to the Government as they have already domowtotrated ty the traveling public, that by patronizing their route quite two-sfths of the } resent traveling time of great Southern mail will be sived. The fact that the business public have a deep interest in this matter should induce the hope that the Department will at once make some sul arrangement. = —— Tue House Pxintixc.—The hitch yesterday in the election of a House Printer is understood to have grown out of Mr. Stanton’s disposition to secure «hinges in the law regulating the pay of the Public Printer before chosing that officer. and Mr. Adams's disposition, if possible, to direct the House printing into the hands of those conducting the Nottong! Ero. of thiscity. The fact that Mr. Glossbrenuer came within a single vets of Mr. Defrees, can, however, hardly fail to have the effect of closing up the Republican-party ranks in favor of Mr. D.. their nomince. whose election we anticipate to-day, 12 terday after 3 p.m, Mr. G. would have “tie his competitor; as about that hour Mr. Ruthin. who had been absent for some days, was ayain in his seat. We believe Mr. Glossbrenner has polled all the votes he’can possibly receive, for Mr Etheridge is pursuing the same course in this election he pursued in that of the Speaker: and, we apprehend, will, under no circumstances, vote for any Democrat; preferring instead to see the bittere:t abolitionist the Republicans can start, triumpu through the fact that Ae holds out against the policy pursued hy the rest of the American party of the body. ind Catirornia Powitics —We muke the follow- ing brief extract from the Sacramento cortcs- pondence of a San Franci®o paper, by way of showing the current condition of the attairs of the Democratic party of California: “SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1S, 1-60) * The two general State Committees of the Dem- ocratic party are in session here, and are laboring to bring the two wings together.

Mackenzie, of the Philadélpbia Press, vives the foliowimg interesting description of Mr. H., ang, of the champagne business : Mr. Heidsieck is one of the very few F; men who isa rtsman in our or even in English sense of the term, and after visiting Southern states, intends to go West, with his ins and dogs, and have some shooting and hunt- ig there. fie is an active and intelligent gen- tleman, aged about 36, and the only person named Heidsieck whoisatall concerned in Wine-making. His grand-uncle founded the firm, which was continued by his father and uncle, and now con- sists of himself alone. His tis one of business as well of plersire. He desires to see our country, and also to visit Cuba, and is desirous of check. ing, if ible, the home-manufacture and sale of fictitions champagne, which so largely prevails here. Henceforth his brand will simply bear his own name—Charles Heidsieck. He stites some facts worthy of notice First, thongh the consumption of Cham ne in the United States is estimated at 1,000.0 00 baskets per annum, the quantity actually made in France, in a comparatively small district, is not more than $00.000 baskets. One million of baskets are annu- ally sold in the United States, while, at the cus- tom-house at New York, where more than two- thirds of the whole importation is passed, only 175,028 baskets were cleared in 1559 The actus! supply of the genuine wine, by a!l the Cham- pagne-makers in France is S00,Ui0 baske's a yecr, of which Russia takes 160.000; Great Britain and her dependencies, 185.000; America, 20.000 ; France, 162.000; and Germany 110,000 laskets every year. Thus, only one-tifth of the wine sold in American as Champagne wes made in France! Four out of evcry five bottles drank here lave been made here. “Most of the fluid. popularly called champagne. is a mixture made irom Jersey cider, or other liquors more hurtfal, put into a required degree of etfervesence. We recollect a trial at the court of ceneral sessions, New York, in October, 1554, whereby the wile machinery of fraud was exposed. A wine dealer in Wall street was convicted of selling a basket of cham- pagne of a particular brand, the bottle-labels of which were forged, “contrary fo the statute.” Kyvidence was given before R der ‘Tilou, who tried the case, how the moder acle of changing cider {nto champagne waa perlormed. It was shown how a fabrientor of labels bad Nthographie stoues to make imitations, and tow he stamped the corks; how the wine-s.akers buy up empty champagne bottles from the hotels, put their own stuff into them, aud sell them ayain to hotel keepers and others. In this case the convicted Wine merchant was very properly sent to prison, Where, thouzh he olfered to paya large sum by way of fine if the iznominy ef confinement were spared him, he had serve out the whole of his time. A much more appropriate and severe punish- ment tigi « few weeks’ imprisonment would have ben fer the frandnlent wine maker of French champagne out of Jersey cider to have been com- pelled to drink # basket ef bis own compound in the conrse of a week. ‘That would have been a severe punishinent—perlaps a fatal one. It would have extended the Hastern custom of suiting the penalty to the erime—just as. in Constantinople, vhena baker is detected in using light weights he is putinto his own oven with the next ba 4 and when the loaves are dra’ drawn out also. - I~ The New Yor! uary 21.

As a self-made man, his character was worthy of im- itation; and those who disagreed with him in political opinions conceded to him the possession of many estimable qualities. Mr. Crittenden, Mr. Seward, and Mr. Foster followed. speaking in high terms of the patriotism, incorruptible and untarnished honor, &c., of the deceased. and adverting to the manner of his death. Mr. F. said that duelling was a crime both against Divine and human laws, and no better than murder; therefore he could join in no mblic tribute toa man who died in violation of Pre laws of God and man. He did not revard the so-called code of honor as a ‘higher law;” and if those whose duty it is to make Taws set a bad ex- ample to the community by breaking them, they forfeit their claims to ouz respect. Mr. Foot said that Mr. Wade, who was detained from his seat to-day by sickness, had prepared some remarks for this occasion, and he had been requested to read them; which he proceeded to do, at the conclusion expressing his entire and cordial concurrence. Mr. Toombs remarked that h’s acquaintance with Mr. Broderick was merely of an official nature; but there were points in his character that won his admiration and respect. He was bold, honest, and thruthfal. and, as such, an honor to the American Senate In answer to what had been said by Mr. Foster, he would say that Mr. Broderick felt in defence of his honor, 2nd under no circumstances could a man die a more noble death. - After the adoption of the customary resolutions, the Senate adjourned.
