Hf the Senate persist in their amendment to the Post Office Appropriation bill offered to-day, abolishing the franking privilege, the bill will undoubtedly be defeated when it goes back to the House, as a large majority of members are averse to such a proposition, and are wil- ling to defeat the bill rather thas it should pass, Incident to the unexpected delay of the passage of the Po-t Office Appropriation bill by the Senate to-day, owing to the discussion of the franking privilege, a memorial is im circulation this evening among the mail contractors ‘pow bere, praying for the passage of the bill as it came from the House. If this cannot be done without delay, ‘bey ask that the interest clause and all other objec- Monable features be stricken out and left for fature legis- ation, stating, in conclusion, that their necessities are such as wo require immediate action THE HOUSE CLERK’S APPOINTRNTS.

Both were competitors of Warstom, and belong to New York. Mr. Howard, of Michigan, another competitor of Marston’s, has received O20 appointment; so that his leading opponents have been generously cared for by their conqueror. There is wild excitement for pinces. Mr, Marston to-day was pursued by bundreds of Importunate men and boys. ‘Much interest is manifested in regard to the printer of the House. The conference tonight of those who voted for Mr. Pennington was called to determine that question. ‘Mr. Washburne , of Illinois, presided, and Mr. Colfax was ‘the Secretary. After a spirited debate, the following were placed in nomination—Mr. Abram 8. Mitchell, editor of the Bt. Louis News; Mr. Dufrees, of Indiana, editor of the Adas; nd Mr. Coombs, of the Washington Republic. ‘Three ballots were taken, and on the last Mr. Mitchell received the bigbest vote, but this was not conclusive. If elected, it is Mr. Mitchell’s design to unite with Mrs. Bailey im the publication of the National Bra. Mr, Mitchell is endorsed by Mr. Blair, who was in the cavevs and aivocated bim as a good Missouri republican. He bad a plorality of votes, thirty-five against thirty- three for Defrees, of Indiana, and Coombs, of the Wash- * yngton Republéc, on the first ballot. On the second ballot ‘Yitchel) bad thirty-seven, Defrees thirty-six, and thirteen scattering Op the third ballot Mitchell had forty-one, De- Teves thirty-five, and fourteen scattering. ‘The caucus then adjourned to twelve o’clock to-mor- Yow. Mitchell will likely be elected to-morrow. KAPORTANT DRCISION RELATIVE TO TERRITORIAL LEGISLATION.

Whitney, Superintendent of the Uni- ted States Armory at Springfield, Mass., hes been nomi- nated totbe Senate as Collector of the Boston Custom House, vice Austin, removed. Caleb Stetson, President ‘of the Shoe and Leather Dealers’ Bank of Boston, was ‘Whitney’s principal competitor.

Mr. Toomna said the mail contractors bad no more claim than any other class of the public creditors. Now was the beat time to get this reform through. This privilege, which costs the Department now one million eight hundred thousand dollars per apnum, ought to be aboliehed. It was not proper that members, who wrote to constituents on public business, should bear the burden themeelver. Let the persons who are benefited by the correspondence pay for it. Mr. Hate moved to amend by changing the time to April. If isextended to the Ist of May"it would be after the arleeton Convention, and the democrats would have benefits not enjoyed by the rep»blicans, who do not meet ip Chicago till June.

Cregier, Carson, ‘Tae New Senator Rom CALirostA. —The telegraph has announced to us that Milton S. Latham has been elected by the Legislature of California to the seat ia the United States Senate left vacant by the death of Hon. David C. Broderick. Mr. Latham was elected Governor of the State on the democratic ticket last September, and was ipaugurated only two days previous to his being chosen Senator. The seat in the Senate is now held by Hon. Henry P. Haun, under am appointment by Governor Weller, The annual salary of the Executive of California is ten thousand dollars and the term of service two years, It may seem strange in the minds of some that a man should be found willing to give upa salary of ten thousand doliars « year for three thousand, which is the pay of a United States Senator, but it ehould be borne io mind that while the Governorship is for onty two years the term Mr. Latham will have to serve will cover nearly four years’ salary, amounting in the whole to aftrifle less than twelve thousand dollars. During bis term be will travel back and forth eight times, for which the govern- ment allows him, in mileage, about two thousand four hundred dollars each term, making an aggregate of salary and mileage of tbirty-one thousand dollars, for little over three years service as a Senator, against twenty thousand dollars which be would have received bad he remained two years Governor of the State, ‘TenTu Concreasionat Dusrrict HARD SHELL CONVENTION. — ‘This convention met on the 4th inst. and elected Thornton ‘M.

Ruopg Istanp Stars ConvenTion.—A mass convention of the citizens of Rhode Island who are opposed to the ro- publican nominations for State officers, was held in Pro- vidence on the Ist instant.

McnpERoUs CUROSITY—ATTEMFTED LARCENY OF 4 Boot BELONGING ‘Yo SrxruEns, ms Wire Powovsr.—One of the latest illustrations of extraordinary developement of the bump of curiosity was furnished at the execution of Ste- phens, the wife poigoner, in the prison yard of the Tombs, on last Friday. It seems that immediately after the low- ering of the culprit’s body it was conveyed to a smal wooden shed and committed to the care of scczie of his former ehopmates, who bad promised to procure him a decent burial. In making the necessary preparations to thisend a portion of the clothing and beth boots were pulled off and placed on the ground near the coffin. At the conclusion of their arrangements the friends of the dead wan bethovght them of the per of boots, but on looking for them in the place wher¢ they bad been depo- sited they were found to be <n cst. The idea immediately be yeas itself that “he boote, like many more valu- | able articles, b°%, peen ‘felonionsly taken, stolen | and carrie”, away” by somebody; but who the murderous Jarceniet could be, was a question hot fo easily to be solved.

Thus, as between these sections, it woulo appear an eternal is ahout to take place The vpity formed by our revolutionary sires, cemented £0 firmiy by revolutionary blood, is sbaking upon the eve of dissolution, and that which God in his wisdom put together a is about to’be at last sundered into fragmevis by the folly | er’ and wickedness Of man. And now, my friends, why is thiey Whence the origin of these lamentable internal com- motions? To what cause may be traced antagonisms prog- nant with such dreadtul coneequences? It is au invidious task to attempt to place reaponaibility for crime. Would that some ether than myself assumed the duty of ig out boldly and of pointing to the canses which have brought our noble country to the precipice on which it now stance. When I first entered public life, twenty yeare ago, ae a member of Congrers, we had great domes- tic national issues. The nation wae divided into two par- ties, each led, it was true, by warring statesmen, but each troly nat |, conservative and patriotic The issues were thoee appertaming to questions of governmental policy. They referred to the important questions of Srance, of commercial, navigating and manufac- turig interests, and to the proper conduct of our foreign affairs; and, im the assembled wisdom of Covgress representing every portion of our extended em- pire, however much men diflered upon these topics, they ‘were upsnimoue in upholding the public honor, the public feith, apd protecting trom azeault the dome=tic righta of each other's constituents. No man was found bold enough to advocate a theory which struck at the homes and the firesides of women and children. No demagogue ‘was found fool enough to assume an attitude of hostility to the right of families temph-ag Cutain: pobucal: power’ ty outer ol pol r een! nislity , founded u| ‘mistak benevolence; and, least men or parties that it was profitable or wise to ar section of this glorious Union against the other. But, my friends, a few years thereafter, covertly, yet surely, adder seeds were sown. Foiled and diseypointed politi- cians, utterly bankrupt in hones and prospects, conceived an iniquitous abstraction by which to regain lost partisan power or destroy the government, to the detriment of all otbers, In an evil hour an eminent though disappointed an Was induced to listen to the iusidious advocates of this theory. He was told that there was a slumbering Puritan ism ip the North that could be aroused to political useful- rh to at- nere—that there existed a fanatical, non-political element which, under big experienced guide, might vecome profi. table and available in controlling the numerical power of the government. With humiliation I admit that our Stato was eciccied as the theatre, and our own previously trusted champion, Van Buren, was chosen the leader of this hellish plot by which aoolitionism was fret warmed {nto partisan being and now used as an inferual machine threatening the cestruction of the country. Apd thus ‘wax laid the egg from which was produced the so called republican party of to-day.
