ComtNe TO Wasuinctox.—Senator Casserly of California, Williams, of Oregon, and Fenton’ of New York, and Representatives Loubridge, of Jowa, Fitch, of Nevada, and Cavanaugh, of Montana, left San Francisco Saturday for this city.

Mr. Bowry, the present Representative trom the 2d South Carolina district will contest the seat of De Large, the colored Congressman elect from that district.

It ts also charged that De Large was a biockade-runner during the war, and took out English naturalization papers at Nassau. Topacco MANUPACTORIES IN THE CouNTRY. ‘The Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue has prepared a statement showing that there are in the United States 916 tobacco manufac- tories in which there are 400 cutting machines. ‘3,082 screw presses, 208 hydraulic Presses, 136 snuff, £4 snuff mills, 57 hand mills and 99 mille of other kind. The total amount of the penal sums of the manufacturers thus engaged is ¥ 0. THE RUMOR that Judge Edmunds, the City Postmaster, will be appointed Commisstoner of the General Land Office, vice Joseph S. Wilson, to be removed, and that Sayles J. Bowen, of this city, will be appointed postmaster, to fill the vacancy made by the transfer of Judge Ed- munds, seems to be without foundation. Judge Edmunds is in Troy, New York, whither he went two weeks since for the benefit of his health, on which his return to this city will de- pend altogether. 3 ‘THE NEW FREXcu MINISTER, who was trans- ferred irom Chili to Washington by the imperi- al government of France in -July last. to fill permanently the vacancy occasioned by the su- icide of Paradol, has arrived here to relieve ‘M. Berthemy and to present his credentials. A pew phase, however, has been given to the diplomatic representation of France since the new minister leit his mirsion at Santiago and has been on bis way to Washington, which will prevent his being received by this government until he is accredited by the administration. Berthemy will therefore probably continue as the accredited diplomat of the new republic. NAVAL ORpERs.—Ordered--Lieut.

The first object demanding attention on entering it ig a dilapidated hair-cloth lounge, the four cor- ners of which have been worn away until threadbare ceases to covey an idea of the pro- gress of its decomposition. The eye is next at- tracted to the dingy, ink-spattered and SHOCKINGLY 6HABBY condition of the walls and carpets. On the former, in vacant spaces between book or doc- ument cases, which look like kitchen pantries in an old fashioned farm-house, hang four stee]- plate portraits, the frames of which bear un- mistakable evidence of time’s corroding power, and the left hand corner of one of them—the picture of James Madison—is devoted to the business card of eome ENERGETIC LIVERY STABLE MAN, and opposite it hangs the gaudy advertisement of somebody's unequalled French writing ti ‘We venture the assertion that all who have visited this gorgeously impoverished apartment, unless immediately admitted to the presence of the Postmaster General, found it to be the most dismal and discouraging room of the kind in any of our public buildings. When, a few days since, we entered it and were compelled to await a turn for aw audience with Mr. Cresswell, we had plenty of time to make a complete inven- tory of its contents, and to feel its depressing influence. Ifanything could have added to the dolorous surroundings of the place, it was found in the absence of the curly-headed, tobacco- chewing messenger boy, just when wanted to take = our card, wage hoge Brees — of Ne Or four lu; us Virginia politicians, who were discussing the cause and effect of the defeat of their candidate for town constable. Finally relief came in the person of the aforesaid messenger, who politely ushered us into the presence of Mr. Cresswell. and without more ado returned to his dismal den. No one save those who know him can appreciate the prompt, energetic, and business like character of our deservedly —— lar Postmaster General. There was a cor: dignity in his saluations which forthwith put us at eace, made our task of interviewing this prominent member of the adwinis:ration a pleasant one. “We are all very anxious, sir,” said we, ‘to learn your views regarding THE RECENT RLECTIONS,” “The result has not surprised me,” he an- swered, “though, of couree, I am disappointed in Maryland. I ascribe the loss of that State to the energetic canvas made by the democrats who brought out their entire strength, including voters who had not been at the polis before for thirty years, and to the jealousy or prejudice ot 8 large number of persons who have previously voted against the democrats but who iast ‘T'ues- day voted AGAINST THE NEGROES.

The order maintained throubgout the State, ot which | am certainly proud, is in- dicative of condition of the public mind which ig favorable to the increase of our \» for we are vs strongest in law-abiding co! munite: is not impossible that our demo- cratic friends may have CHEATED US A LITTLE; but as Ihave said,the main cause of our de- feat was the defection of some of our turmor siends."’ “* How do you view the result at large as di- rectly affecting the Administration?” “Well, as I said before, I am not surprised. The peony | of all previous administrations will show you that they have suffered similar treat- ment. In other words, the election intervening between the Presidential contests has alwa been and always will be more or lees unfavorab! to the administration in power. It is natural that itshould be so, for it is a season of apathy, or what the politicians call THE ‘OFF YEAR,’ when the policy of the administration is only partially developed, has been but brietly dis- |, and is not well understood. I was in the 38th Comgress, which, you remember, was the second of Mr. Lincoin’stiret term. We came very near loeing the House then. THE BORDER STATES alone saved us. In fact we had but a fair work- ing majority, and many of our most important ‘war measures were carried by from fourteen to twenty votes. The Freedmen’s Bureau bill, for instance, was adopted by only one majority. So you see there is nothing new in the present con- dition of affairs. in fact | think we might have ed it, and | am certain that the President did’nt anticipate the re-election of all his friends.

I think, on the whole, that we will be better off with the PAIR WORKING MAJORITY which we have inthe House than we would with our former power. We were too strong.

The administri tion will certainly miss his power in the House.” N@ REASON POR UNEASINESS. “Looking to the future,” he continued, “we have no reason for uneasiness. We are in a condition now to patiently wait for the mistakes which our adverearies are sure to make. We have only to continue the development of our policy to win in the next elections. In other words we must keep our finances firmly in hend, continue to reduce our public debt whicn is the most effective way to maintain the national credit, anc at the same time relieve our people 6 much as possible from taxation.

When the people see aud understand these facts, they will appreciate the mission of the administration. “* You think, then, that the present party di- visions or organizatons will continue until the neat Presidential Congress’’” THE WORKINGMEN. * Tcertainly do,” he answered. -- There will be, as a matter of course, numerous side issues like those developed in New York, Pennsylva- nia and Missouri; but they will be compara- tively local, and the national organizations will continue the same. The movement in Massa- chusetts, with Wendell Phillips at its head, 1s one of these; but the working men know that they are as well off under the present condition ofaftairs,as they would be with such men as he in control.

They are certainly to be en- vied, and I believe they will be contented with their adhesion to the republican party.” GEN. RUTLER’S MANIFESTO. “ It will not be necessary then,” said we, ‘‘to infuse some new element into the policy of the administration, as Ger. Butler suggests in his recent manifesto.” “Do you mean a war with England?” he asked. “T presume that is what Gen. Butler means, or rather he intends to puta little more back- bone into our Alabama claims the pu of annezi “In Gen. Butler’s ict,” said he, “where the le are excited over the fishery im. broglio, and the annexation scheme is talked of & great deal, such a policy would be exceedingly popular. In fact, war movements are popular with us, because we are natarally a contesting people; but it is the duty of rulers to AVOID WaR. its horrors cannot be imagined even after our own bitter experience. The increase of cur debt, the suspension of internal development, and the loss of life are terrible subjects for the contemplation of those who have the power to involve peaceful people in warlike strife. But Gen. Butler is mistaken in his premises. His scheme would result rather to our disadvantage than otherwise, because @ settlement on his basis would result in a charge against our gov- ernment, and I do not think that even if we could bring England in debt to us, the people of Canada are ready for annexation. No doubt Sore te us as a com- munity, as would the people of any of the north- ern provinces, and we would take them into our fold gladly if they would come of their own ac- cord. ‘The truth is that the smugglersas a class Ing numberless comme: ramifications, ers, Capitalists of all grades, and the official peop’ le generally are earnestly opposed to annexat!

Of course England would prefer war to the loss of any one of her provinces, and they are not sufficiently impert- ant to us to warrant us in provoking a contest, even if the Alabama difficulties could be set- tled thereby which I doubt. “LET US HAVE PEACE is still eur motto” we suggested. “Yes, indeed,” he replied, ‘peaceable employment in the development of oar great country, and the reestablishment of our antc-bellum condition, both commercially and socially is what we want. The administra- tion will foster the growth of even the slightest tendencies in that direction. 1t will strive to harmonize all past differences, to obliterate or eradicate the bitterness consequent upon our own war, and build up a national feeling which will ensure unanimity of patriotism among all the people North, South, East and West. Then. if we should unfortunately become involved tn war with any foreign power, we will fight a: one pople.”” THE SCHURZ MOVEMENT. «What do you think of the Schurz movement in Missouri 27 “It is one of the nataral incidents of the off year,” he replied,” and it is very natural that General Schurz should lead it.

Will there be any recommenda tion for such an increase?” “There has been some talk about that,” he replied; ‘but there will be no concert of action on the subject.
