‘th take advice ds to thé fitness of persons ting the office, Such s wisely i will conducé efficiency in Position, But the finpudent claims of @ caucus-making republicans in Congress, that they are the only representative men and should haye the power to control the President in gil nominations, is sublime. As.a general Principle it may be safely laid down that the members of Congress are the mést unfit advisers regarding nominations to office that can be found. Their personal relations within their own district are, through the inevitable necessities of their professional practice of Politics, more intimate with the most corrupt men therein, and not unfrequently they are under personal obligations to sustain for office persons of the worst character. If, then, we admit the principle on which the caucus of the Pennsylvania delegation is based, we consign the public offices of this country to the hands of the most corrupt and worthless class in it, and put off for a long day the restoration of common honesty to the administration of public affairs. There is one saving clause in the report of the proceedings of this Pennsylvania. caucus. After arranging the cards for the new deal a committee was appointed to wait upon the President and inform him of the result. He replied to them that he should want to appoint afew nal friends, but beyond these he would consult the delegation, It is to be hoped that the personal friends whom the President wishes to appoint will be sufficient to secure the leaven of honesty in public office. The old cry, “To the victor belongs the spoils,” has been the ruin of every President and every political party for the last forty years, and tio one comprehends more clearly than President Guant the truth of the axiom, “The army that plunders is demoralized.” NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. : On the 7th inst, the United States steamer Penob- ‘scot was at Key West.

The United States squadron in the West Indies is insignificant in point of numbers as compared with the English and French fleets.

Mr. Seeley moved for & committee on the mail con- tracts to the United States.

Desperate Affray in the Cambridge Lunatic Asylum—A Maniac Killed=—Attempts to Modify the License Lawe—Return of the Fishing Fleet. Boston, March 12, 1860, Acoroner’s jury in Cambridge has investigated the circumstances attending the death of James Parks, an insane man, which rumor attributed to the violence ‘of three Cambridge policemen. The Jury found the following verdict:—“That James Parks died at the Taunton State Lunatic Asylum on ‘Wednesday, March 3, 1869; that his death was caused by a fracture of the breastbone and of eleven ribs, nine on the right side and two on the left, two of the ribs on the right side betng broken in two places; and by the laceration of the right lung consequent upon said fracture; that these frac- tures were produced subsequently to his admission to the Insane Asylum, on Tuesday, March 2, and probably occurred about five o’clock on the mornt of Wednesday, di strug’ Asylum—namely, Joseph A.

A proposition to allow hotel keepers and grocers to sell without keeping open bars was also defeated, as well as a motion to re-enact the prohibitory law and repeal the present lcense system. The ‘ther consideration of the subject was postponed until next Tuesday, on mo- tion of the prohibitory party in the House.

After a long session they decided to vote for the amendment when it comes up on special next Wednesday, What the result’ of this re- solve will be to the political reputation of gro suffrage in this State, which the fifteenth amend- ment contemplates, When the State constitution of 1846 Was presented for the popular vote the negro suffrage question was voted down by a majority of 188,930. In 1860 it was again submitted to the people and again voted down by @ majority of 140,481, although the republican majority for Abraham Lin- coln was 50,136. It is evident, then, that the people generally do not want the universal suffrage recom- mended by this amendment and endorsed by General Grant in his inaugural. How the radical members of the Legislature can face their constl- tuencies after ratifying this unpopular measure without receiving a scathing rebuke will depend upon the good nature of the voters who sent them" here.
