Society and Politics in Washington—Ne. 7, 70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Wasurneron, Feb. 16, 1854. I see political events looming up in the distance which appear to me as though they will prove to this administration very much like political icebergs, and if the America ship of State, with spoilsman or helmsman Marcy at the wheel, keeps steering the present course, the first we shall all know will be a general smash and crash, and the ship will be brought up all standing. But I will not indulge in profound prognostications, like other letter writers, My mission isto deal in facts, and if I understand Your last letter to me, you wish me to “narrate” to a distinctly what Pierce says and does, without indulging in comments.” These are your own words, I believe, though I cannot refer te your letter, as I Ieft it down in my reom at Jemmy Maher's, and I ‘am writing this lester in Faherty’s room, at the State Department, I will endeavor to comply with yeur wishes, although I shall lose a great deal of fun by it. I have had three separate interviews with the Pre- fy sident during the past week. He is buried up to his eyes in trouble, and although I am very sorry fer ‘him, I can’t help matters— because he won't take my advice and cut adrift from his constitational advisers by kicking ’em out. We stood by the wall down back of his house on Mondsy morning fer over an hour, and talked over the whole matter; but, as I said to him, ‘‘ Frank, what's the use of talking when , ” me i tak und no eer you mean cay: kl “ “Genres Bests te octzing bomse t0 play el again. iis nomination will rejected certain ware, Toucey tells me.” “Well, suppose the Senate does reject him, and he come home, what doyou care ?”” “T don’t like it.

A girl named Jome Wickes, allas Mary Loe, aged irl named Jeese 28, residing with Mrs. Nansy Vedder, No 82 Broad street, died on Wednesday neomyunder circumstances that led Coroner Smith, upon notification of the po- lice, to hold an inquest, which is still in progress. Mrs. Vedder testified thatthe girl, who had been her bearder for some four weeks, declared to her that she was in the way. Mrs. Bord, living at 35 Fifth atreet, Troy sent word by a woman named O'Hagan, that she (Mrs. B.) would produce an abortion for the sum of $20. This wastbree weeksago. A fortnight ago she left my house for Troy; I visited her there last Friday, at Mrs, Bord’s house; she was sitting up in a rocking chair, but so weak that she had to be helped in and out of bed; she had been quite well at my house, and had walked up to the stage office ; the girl told me (witness) to eome and bring her down on Tuesday; but on Monday, Mrs. Berd sent for me, and I found her in a very bad eondition—no fire in the room, &c.; she had her things in her setch- el, ready to return to Albany; I asked Mrs. B. if she was ableto return; she said “Yes, she has got to go;”’ she refused to give up her hat aud cloak unless she was paid $10 more; and said that she would not pay the doetor’s bil.
