WANT TOCOMEIN THE L NION.— Delegations from New Mexico and Colorado are here to urge upon Congress the admission of those Territories into the Union as States. AT THE WaITR Hover To-pay —F. D. Web- ster, Esq., of New York, in company with sev- eral prominent politicians of that metropolis, had a protracted interview with the President about one o'clock to-day, and after they retired Gov. Ward, of New Jersey, was admitted. APPOINTMENTS RY THE PRESIDENT.—The President to-day appointed John B. Hay, of Virginia, and Edward P. McLean, of New York, consular clerks, and the following deputy Postmasters: James 1. Camp, at Dixon. Illi- nois; W. H. Maerter. at St. Charies, Missouri, and H. R. Keeton, at Mexico, Missouri. ComMissionRR OF PATENTS.—The Grand Army Journai strongly recommends Gen. S. A. Duncan, Assistant and at present Acting Com- missioner, for Commissioner of Patents. In this recommendation the Journal but expresses the opinion of the whole of that powerful or- ganization, the Grand Army of the Republic, of which Gen. Duncan is considered a repre- sentative man. But aside from this, Gen. D. has active and strong supporters. PERSON AL.—Major Ben Perley Poore has ar- rived in town for the journalistic campaign of the winter, looking particularly plump, sunny. and happy, a8 becomes a man who has just been the recipient of all sorts of ovations, m‘li- tary and civic honors, watch-presentations, &e., &c., on the anniversary of his fiftieth birthday. Fitty! why he doesn’t look thirty; but any how t's worth reaching the half century Post, to have the event 20 pleasantly commemorated. Tae INTERNATIONAL ARPITRATION.—The difficulties which have existed 80 long bet veen Spain and Peru and the other South American republics, and for which this government pro- posed an arbitration, are about to be adjusted by the convention which will meet here next week. The last of the representatives of the South American republics has arrived, and everything is in readinoss. The Hon. Secretary ot State is the arbitrator designated by the President. GROUNDS FOR THE CONTEST IN THE FiPTH MARYLAND DisTRictT.—As stated in the STAR some days since, Mr. Gary's friends are arrang- ing preliminaries for a contest of Judge Mer- tick’s seat for the Sith Maryland districts. They contest the seat on these grounds: First. That in Charles and St. Mary's counties colored voters were intimidated, in violation of the con- gressioual election law. Second. That separate polling places were provided in some precincts tor the white and colored voters. QUITE A DELEGATION of our musical ameteurs, whe propose to bring out the opera of Martha at Wall's Opera House by and by, went over to Philadelphia last evening to post themseves for ite production by closely watching its perform. ance by the Kichings troupe at the Academy of Music. Its rendition by our home troupe will be ‘ie musical event of the season, and the chorus on that oceasion will probably be the most attractive in every respect ever placed on any stage.

That in the British Legation, in fact. is the only one o! importance, occasioned by the temporary transfer of Francis Clare Ford, its First Secretary. Sir Edward ‘Vhorn- ton, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary—not English Ambassador, as a New York paperrates him—of course, remains at the head of that diplomatic representation. M. Bertbemy still keeps up a diplomatic sem- blance for France, though this government transacts its international affaira with the pro- visional government directly through Minister Washburne. This government, however, has just refused to receive the credentials of Vicomte Treillhard, who years ago was the Secretary of Legation to Washington, and who was commissioned, while at Chili, by the Napo- leon rule, as full Envoy to the United States. Baron Gerolt, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis- ‘er Riguipoteutiary of tbe North German Union, has been at his post here ever sincg the Franco-Prussian war broke out, and hasoccy- pied probably the most laborious office of all the diplomats. He is now, in years of service, ‘be senior member of the corps. M. Catacaay’ the Russian Minister, bas returned from his vacation, and will remain at the Legation, on I street, for the season. Senor Roberts, the Spanish Minister, is in New York preparing for his marital relations, which are to be full- filled next month. Senor Perez and the repre- sentatives of the South American Republics are all in Wasnington to attend the International Arbitration with Spain, of which Hon. Hamil- ton Fish is president. Hon. P. H. Le Poer Trench, who was third secretary of the British Legation here, bas been transferred to Portu- 1. The Chilian, Belgian, Danish, Austrian, Argentine. Brazillian, and Netherlands’ Minis- ters are all in Washington. PAYMASTER J. 8. GrRARD, now in close con- finement at the navy-yard, will be suspended, b; ‘he naval court-martial in session there, for the pretent, it is said. It appears that the payma:- ter’s pay-rolis were not forthcoming at the proper , and the government, fearing some- ‘bing was wrong, had him arrested. Paymaster jirard endeavored to explain by sarin, be understood that his clerk at New Yor! 1 transmitted the accounts, and that they were in the proper mtnow. The accounts will be audited to ascertain whether or not the trial will be proceeded with. pcmcia OE Tar Hoy.

AN INTERVIEW WITH OUR PREMIER. Newspa; 8 Political Diplomacy!— Foontuitities and a Itetew Ls Domingo Treaty. The same kind of a black, drizzly November rain, referred to by Senator Garret Davis, when the telegraph reported him as having announced his intention to proceed in a speech ‘‘with the deliberation of a drizzling November rain,” enveloped Washington yesterday, when with extraordinary trepidation Tue Star represen- tative rang the door-bell of his excellency Sec- retary Fish. The mathematical precisionof the tintinabulary result of the aforesaid ringing, was equalled, perhaps, by the rigid, though cor- «lial politeness of the servant, who ushered us inte the Governor's library. The same strict adherence to problematic accuracy was notice- able even in the figures of the carpet, and the arrangement of the furniture. Even the chcer- ful flames from the coal-grate gave evidence of axiomatic training, and flew up the chimney with scrupulous regard for imaginary angles, while the heat therefrom exuded into the room by the right and left flanks, and straight for- ward in the center, as if it had been drilled by Hardee or Upton. Very naturally we expected our great Premier to make his appearance through the door leading to the breakfast room, from which proceeded diplomatic sounds of clattering table-cutlery, by aright wheel, and a tly correct oblique mbvement to- wards our au, Sis Sy measeeaninacts Setiar es marl and cordial grecting, at poco poly easy footing, and we Procested tointerview him. Very naturally our first ques- tion related to the WAR CLOUD IW EUROPE. “The news this morning," said the Secretary, “indicates with great certainty that Kussia is in earnest. It will at least convince England that Gortschakoff means eerious business. I do dot think, however, that the necessary result of all this is a general war in Europe. The newspapers here and elsewhere seem to jump at that con- clusion, but they are, you know, very frequently mistaken.” “No doubt,” we suggested, ‘you are often amused at their statements.” ‘Yes, indeed,” he continued, “you SBWSYAPER PEOPLE JUMP AT CONCLUSIONS. The diplomacy of Europe is much more secret than ours, and consequently the journals there — mack — — = do, and pong ac enou Oa » taking up THe STAR, “I rarel: os. OR ir nowadays without tinding something of the kind—some statement based upon partial information and ly en- larged upon. I don’t find any here in this copy of Tue Star, but I venture to say that I will tind at least half a.dozen in each ofthe New York papers to night. They are very amusing some times, and not always very shrewd, though oc- casionally they dostrike the right spot.”’ Keturning to the subject of war, be said, “the most reasonable reault of the present com: plications will be a congress of all the great powers; but that is not certain. I merely say it is reasonable and probable. There are @lways occult influences at work in European politics, which frequently develop astonishing results. So you cannot count upon any result with cer- tainty. In fact, the future of Europe is clouded with Goubt.” aes “If there is a peace congress,” we remarked, “sit will probably result in the destruction of the WRENCH REPUNLIC.” “Not necessarily,” he answered. “I'he ex- istence of the French Republic depends entirely on the terms of peace which the present admin- istration is able to make. If Fayre is able to make peace without a cession of territory, he will be strong enough with the people to con- tinue in power. You must remember, however, that there is m government dejure in France now, for the people have not sanctioned, wi any formality, the existing condition of affairs. It Favre cannot make peace without cession of territory, he will be COMPELLED TO GO CUT.” “But how will the probable peace congress affect the French ?”’ we asked. “Iwas saying that it would not neccessarily disturb the present administration in France, if tis strong enough to maintain itself with the people on the terms I have stated; but if it is not, tis not impossible that the peace congress woul: uot only settle the Eastern question in which (ussia is interested but also take upon itself the responsibility of settling the DISPUTE BETWEEN PRANCE AND PRUSSIA; of course the latter power would object to this, as something outside of-the immediate cause of the convention. In truth the European situa- ion is entirely problematic.” “What kind of a government will probably ollow the Republic in France,” we asked, THE EMPIRE AT AN END. “The Empire is at an end,” he replied. ‘If the tepublic fails, and you must understand that I fo not propose to discuss it except as the infor- mal authority of the present, and further hat Ido not propose to discuss the capacity of the French people to live under a republican orm of government,—if, I say,the Republic tails, ‘be permanent authority will devolve on one of he Bourbon family. The Empire being at an snd, and the republic having failed, a kingdom will be establisned. It is not improbable, in ‘act it is quite possible, that an Orleanist — be taken up; but you must remember as { sai before that the fature in Europe is, as ever, en- irely problematic.” ™! WASEBURNE NOT PREMATURE. “Was Mr. Washburne,” we asked, “at all premature in his recognition of the Kepublic?”” “Not at all,” wasthereply. ‘‘He acted under instructions, and continues to do 69,”’. THE PARADOL SUICIDE. “(M. Paradol’s death was most unfortunate,” we said, and, referring to the printed desérip- tion of the interview between him and the Sec- retary on the day preceding the former’s sui-. cide, we asked if it was.a truthful account? \ot altogether,” he answered. “It is trae that be was pacing up and down the room in a very abstracted manner, when J entered, but I didn’t drop a book on the floor. I coughed loudly to attract his attention, when he advanced and took my band. His mind was evidently ab- sorbed with morbific sentiments, and I endeay- ored to arouse him. He asked me about bur neu- Soi ee remanence tants ve! ‘J about which overpowered by tainly he was of the opinion that his assess to the complications he expected to ated from the war, would be excessively anerous, but he was mistaken. ‘TRE STATUS OF M. DERTHEMY. ‘ M. Berthemy returned without strictly for- mal credentials, merely on a telegraphich re- commendation, and I have been compelied to extent to Sication, and weave as our medium of commu: we hay had very little necessity for that." ‘THE MISTAKE OF M. PARADOL. M. Parade! was greatly mistaken, for we have got slong :wimmingly, and the war, instead of increasing, has diminished the amount of the business of the French Legation. No, if he had remained he would have had the easiest time of any member of the diplomatic corps.” “What is the et of a new republic tty THE SECRETARY PUTS ON HIS DIPLOMATIC CAP. — We are forced to interject, at this junctare, an opinion that the Secretary donned his diplo- matic cap, and bis answer to the foregoing in- quiry was as discreetly befogging, even to our acute perception, as any jof the leading edito- rials in one of our morning cotemporaries, He said something about the slowness of Spanish diplomacy, and then, ia reassured tone, con- tinued as follows:—“Why, Spain did not recog- nize the independence of Holland for nearly a century, and after forty ears only recognized the independence of her South American prov- inces by declaring war against them.” THE STAR'S INTERVIEWER DONS HIS DIPLO- MATIC CAP. Thies full clap was not quite satisfactory to us, and we donned our diplomatic cap. After ad- justing it properly we asked if there was not a lack of Executive ability or attention to details in the Spanish character. “That may be a peculiarity of the Latin race. Yet some of the most able writers on interna- tional law have been Spaniards and Italians. Italy has risen wonderfully in the last fourteen years, and now exhibits as much intellectual ability and freedom from slothi as any of the nations of Europe. Since the days of Count Cavour the government of Italy has maintained a well deserved prominence in European affairs.” A FISH THAT WON'T BITE. We admit that this answer was sufficiently diplomatic to befog us again, because we couldn't see the connection between Cavour and Cuba, except in the way of alliteration. Like a skilfal diplomat, as we are, we changed our tac- tics, and, for the nonce, humored the Governor by roe Neng his vein of thought. , Biv ath of Cavour,” wesaid, “was a great Joes eS *« Yes, it was,” he answered, ‘‘ He certainly wasa great man. Had he lived he would have been a match for Bismarck.” «He was probably not quite so abrupt, so tyrannical a man es Bismarck,” we said. “ He certainly had more suavitor in modo than Bismarck,” replied the Secretary. “I knew him nally; but I never bad the pleasure of m Bismarck.” BO Go. ‘Still away from Cuba, and evidently getting farther away from it, we thought, and finally concluded to go about our business in the plump, old-fashioned American way. So we asked whether the election of the Duke of Aosta as King of —_ would materially affect the relations of this government with Cuba. We had him there, we thought, and rather ex- jane direct affirmative or negative reply. nstead of yes or no, however, he answered:— 18 CUBA WORTH A WAR? “If the Spanish people are noted for their slowness in diplomacy, they are also noted for the celerity with which they accept war. Do you think Cuba is worth a war to us?” Now mark our diplomatic reply:—“ Tne Spaniards,” we said, “‘are like the Irishman with his coat tail on the ground.” The Premier smiled a diplomatic smile, and said:—“* We are at peace at home, =, way, if there is trouble abroad, and we are likely to continue peaceable.” From all of which it is proy to infer that Fish does not in- tend to embroil us in @ war with Spain for the acquisition or to aid in the independence of Cuba, and that he thinks neither of those ob- jects can be accomplished without war. “THE REPUBLIO TO THE NORTH OF U8.” ‘We remarked, ‘‘ You meant Canada when you referred to that, didn’t you 2” “Yes, sir, I referred to Canada,and { was thinking at the time that England’s policy to- wards her colonies is exceedingly generous and very honorable. She will not interfere to pre- vent their independence whenever they desire it. She says she has held them in times past to her great profit as a source of revenue, but thrt they are now an expence rather than oth A that instead of drawing military contingents from them, she is compelled to maintain risons, and that now she is in honor bound to keep them as dependencies until they are ready to leave her.”” “What about GENERAL BUTLBR'S SCHEME we asked. “Oh, that means war. Gen. Butler means war. Although England would willingty give up her provinces on other terms, that is, as I «aid before, if they desired to go themselves, -he would never give them up for any other reason. No, Gen. Butler’s scheme will not do.” THE ALABAMA CLAIMS, “But the Alabama claims, Governor, wild they ever be settled?” we asked. “Oh, yes, certainly; they are bound to be set- tled some time,one way or another; very soon, ‘00, perhaps.” No oyster ever closed its mouth with more firmness and celerity than did Mr. Fish, after the foregoing declaration. It was useless to ask him when, where, and how the Alabama claims will be settled, #0 we contented ourselves with an inquiry as to the amount of claims held against us by British subjects. “Of course we owe Great Britain something ‘n the way of private claims,” he said; “but we bold them to be of less importance than the Alabama claims. The treaty negotiated by Mr. Keverdy Jobnson incinded all that class of claim+—private claims is the proper name for them—in the schedule with the Alabama claims. That was the objection to that treaty. No, sir; the A! ‘a claims we con- sider to be of a higher character, of more dig- nitied importance, than mere private claims, which are constantly arising between citizens of the two governments, and which can be set- tled by an ordinary convention or mixed claims commission.
