He did not wish to comply with these impor- tunties. He did not like to displace Brigham Youog. Still he did not wish to get the ill-will and the opposition of those who were constantly importuning him to re- move the bigamist. So, to seem willing and anxious to please and gratify them, and at the same tinf@ to so act inthe matter as to give pleasure to Brigham Young ‘and his friends and to secure to Brigham a permanace in his office, the Brigadier President appoints Colonel Steptoe, of the army, Governor of Utah, knowing posi- tively all the time that the gallant colonel will not ac- cept the appointment, and that Brigham Young will hold on to his office until some other person shall be ap- pointed to supersede him, who will accept the appointment and be qualified. However much this step may prove re- volting to the moral sense of the American public, it bas been deliberately taken by the President of the United States (with perhaps the advice of hia friend Forrey) with the view of continuiog Brigham Young in his office, and of making good Brigham's boast, that ‘let them appoint my successor and 1 will sill be Governor of Utah. Mr. Burnhisel, the delegate in Congress from Utah if he sill speak his true sentiments oa the subject. will not deny tnat he was satistied the President did not de- sign the displacement of Brigham Young at the time he appointed Colonel Steptoe, of the army, to that post, Colovel Forney is yet a young man, We bave all rea his letter to Roberts on ‘the subject of the Forrest di Yoroe case. It may be that he will yet thrive in Utah when that Territory shall become a State of this Union. Bis principles, as éxpressed in the letter to Roberta, will be no ber to his advancement among the bigamists. But what becomes of the censures of the Brigadier and his partisans hurled against the late Presisent Fillmore for appoi such & man as Brigham Young to :he gubernatorial chair of Utah? What will Coluael Step- toe conclude when his appointment. which is uow pur- posely lying over at Independence, Missouri, and cannot reach hum for a month yet—what conclusion will he come to relative to the usy which has been made of his name, end the motive therefor ? ‘The Presitent may or may not veto the French Spulia- tion bil, Ifhe dares take the responsibility, he will veto the bill, It wil: square with nis_ votes on'the wub- Ject whilat he wasin Congress, ‘The fact that his most elevated an iotizate friends, Harry Hibbard and Joan C. Breckenridge, strenuonsly ‘opposed the bill, gives aa indication that he may apply the veto. The Evening Star predicts that he will do it, and it is well kuown that Mr. Secretary Guthrie will object to the payment of the French Spoliation claims, because it will take a large sum out of the treasury, and because Mr, Guthrie thinks and believes that he is three times as great a man with thirty mllions in the treasury as he would be if there were but ten millions there. ‘The Texas debt bill, which passed the Senate at the last session, is made the order of tha day in the House for Tuesday next.

(Correspondence of the Post.] Wasuinoton, Jan. 31, 1855. General Gadsden’s Negotiations for the Southern Pacific Kailroad—Blow-up with Mr. Marcy—The New York Merchants in Washington—Mr. Cunard and Smuggling —the smuggling Law.. In aduition to the obstacles which the Secretary of War is charged with having thrown in the way of # Pa- cific railroad by way of Rock Island, an account of which appeared in the Evening Post of the 26th, otber develop- ments have transpired tsndiag to show corresponding ac- tivity in the favor of Southern, or, as Col, Beaton ealls it, the Mexican route. Ihave heard, on what may be re- garded good authority, that General Gadsden, our minis- ter to Mexico, nut content with his success in purchas- ing the Mesilla Valley, has been nogotiating for still greater territoriel acquisitions to accommodate the Southern road, inclading the whole of Chihuahua, Son>- ra, and Lower Califorsia. It is stated further, that Mr. Marcy does not like the project of our ambitious diplomatist. and has written » letier with a view of induciag him to resign, to which the latter bas returned an insolent reply, not at all adapted to sesure the ratification of his doings by the executive. For, just now, it is no way 10 conciliate the Fresioent vy insulting Mr. Marcy. What will be the re- sult of this blow up. is not disclosed Moses H. Grinnell, E. Cunard, W, M. Evarts, Messrs, Morgan PLivings’on, ‘and other leading New York cupi- talists are at Willard’s, with a view of settling their ac- counts with Congress and the Departments. Oae of the objects of their visit is to obtain some amendments in the bill for the regulation ot emigrant passeager stips, and in this, I learn, they are successful. The amend- ments suggested are slight, chiefly providiog more room and Detter accomedations for emigrant: on their voy- age. This morning the bill, as amended, was approved by the Committee on Commerce, and it will be intro- duced as soon as possible in the House by Mr. Faller, of Maine, the chairman of the committee. These gentle- men-express their disapproval of that p ovision of Mr. Fish’s bill in the Senate, which requires the shipmaster to forfeit the pasrage money of every emigrant who shall die on the voyage. Mr. Cunaro is cesirous of obtaining a remission of the penalty to which he is liable for the smuggling carried ‘on by & passenger on board the steamship Asia, amount- ing, I believe, to the forfeiture of the steamer. It is probable some pecuniary commutation will be allowed by the government. Ellorts are now making to revea the law by which the owners of vessels are made zespon- sible for’ smuggling by passengers and saiors The ground of opsosition is, that such practices are commit: ted generally by collusion between the owner and tae crew.

To tne Senate AND House oy RePReseytatives: — I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of the Interior anc the Postmaster Geveral, together with ac companying documents. communicating what has been done in executicn of the act of Congress of Angusc 2. 1854, entitled ‘‘an act to provide for the accommods tion of the courts of the Cnited States in the district of Momachusette, and in the cities of New York and Phila- delphia ” Thave deemed it best, under the circurastances, xt to enter into any contracts for the purchase of si but tosubmit all proposals made in response to pu advertisement for several weeks in the principal ne papers in each of the cities designated. to Congress, for such action as it may deem proper to take in fulfiment of the original design of the beforementioned act. FRANKLIN PIERCE. Washington, January 24, 1855, ‘Wasntvaten, Dec. 19, 1853. Str: On the 24 of August last, Congress passed an act tu provide accommodations for the United States rourts at Boston. New York and Philadelphia, the second sec tion of which is an follows:— ‘Zee. Q And be it further enacted, that the President be authorized to cause to be procured, by pursbase or otberwise, suitable sites for buildirgs fo be used as court houses and post offices in the cities of Boston New York ard Philadelphia; and that he prepare and submit to Congress, at as early a day as practicable, plans and estimates for the same, together with acy con- tract or contracts be may make for any such site or sites, which contract or contracts shail bs conditional and mnace subject to the approval of se.” With a view to the execution of this act, you deemed it proper to invite proposals of sites, which was accord ingly done, by public advertis¢ment, for some weeks, in | the principal newspavers in each of ‘those citier: and we have now the honor to lay before vou the accompanyiag schedules of the offers received, showing by whom made, pin situaved, the superticial extent “and price of eacl We also submit a map or plan of each city, on which the sites are indicated by numbers corresponding with the numbers of the proposals. After the receipt of these proposals, you thought it advisable that we should visit thore cities, and, in con- Junction with the postmasters, the marshals and other officers of the courts, personally inspect the premises in order toa more sutisfactory ascertainment of their euitadleness for the purposes mtended, and the real value of the property offered We therefore proceeded to Philadelphia, New York ant Boston, and viewed each of the proposed locations, with reference to the convenience of the public as well as the interest of the goverzment. These jointly demand that the post offices. as well as the United States Courts, should be located near to, though not necessarily in, the midst of the business portions of the cities, near the centre of population, and at points easy of access, and with an eye to any ‘uture changes which may be made in these respects. These requisites would necessarily restrict the selections of sites to those portions of the cities most highly im proved; and it was anticipated, therefore, that the cost of the seme, in the three principal cities of the Uaion, would be very consicerable: but it was found to be #0 great that we are induced to recommend that n0 con tracts be entered into for the purchave of sites, but that the results which have been obtained be susmitted to Congress for # ch appropriatio: it may, in its wis. dom, see proper to make in fulfilment of its original designs It is suggested that the interests of the United States may be best consulted by the appropriation of such specific sum for the purchase of a suitable lot. and the erection of appropriate buildings thereon, in each of the cities f |, a8 Congress may deem reasonable and proper, with » proviso thi cont of the Int and build ing spall in no case exceed the amount of the appropri- ation for that purpose It ix also recommended that the buildings be erected under the supervisicn of a competent architect or super- intendent, and that they be of brick and fire proof, plain. ly and tantially floished, great rd being had, in all respects, to their durability and utility. Ibe construction of public buildings at other and miner a for thore ard like fond ang has been re peatedly authorized by Congress, and the necessity for them in these great cities ia etill more apparent. Present accommodations for the United States courts are unsuitable and insofficient; and, although the rents are very Jarge ond constantly increasing, it is not possible to procure, on lease, such buildings as the public interests require. ‘The great inconvienences attending the Post Office in Philadelpbin bave loog been a cause of serious cot plaint, the rooms now vceupiea being too small and tirely upeuited forthe large and increasing business cone at that office. In New York the building ured for a Post Office is, in wany respects, wholly unfitted for the pur; and in Be ston, where there is aleo a very large distribution, the rooms now occupied ns the Post Office are quite teo small, and, besides, are so badly lighted as to require the ase of gas in the day time.
