SPIRIT OF THE mor NING Si The Union expresses the opinion ° Emperors Napoleon and Francis Joseph are manuevering for a pésition, but with no purpose of putting their influence to the hazard by en- ging in a struggle which can serve no other end than to let them down from their present lofty elevations to be beggars and mendicants amongst the more sagaciaus and prudent poten- tates of Europe. The Union says of John M. Botts, in noticing his politieal re-appearance, that candid toa fault, fall of good quatities and genial impulses. be is yet one of the most wrong-headed politi- cians in the country. The Intelligencer cites sundry democratic demurrers to the Cyhan policy of Senator Brown, as lately enunciated by that gentleman et Tammany Hall. them one article from WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ———-+ - P Mixe Waxsu, it now seems to’be understood in New York, was certainly g»rroted.

His genius was far more brilliant than that of any of such as his mind dwelt much on, were remark- ably quick and clekr. with maral eomrage to persevere in carrying out his political purposes under adverse influ- ences, toa degree surpassing that other man we ever knew. Though trained in the school of New York city munieipal politics only, his mind took in @ far wider political scdpe than the mind of almost any other of the peculiar eecentricities of his character and habits. it was of a philosophical turn. It was his habit, notwithstanding the extent of his information upon public affairs, to essay to measure everything by the seale with which he was originally most familiar. Hence the ec- eentricity of most of his oratorical efforts— always so full of pungent thought and abiding integrity of purpose as to rivet the attention of the New York Journal of Commerce. ce U>> Corporation donations to the out-doer poor. in New York, ate to be stopped on the Ist day of April next.

That is fortunate, indeed; insomuch as white the party always, sooner or later. overcomes its open enemies. nearly all its reverses are occa- sioned by having in its counsels those who, while professing to be of it. are really ardent sympathizers with the eause of the opposition. —_——— | Tum Report.—In the brief notice of the | leading points of the Report of the Army Board United States military service cannot be re- trenched. for which we had space at command yesterday. we omitted to mention that the grand result of the Board’s earnest investiga- | tions is an emphatic endorsement of the en- ergy. cconomy, integrity, and efficient manage- ment of the affairs of the service in all its unfrequently upon théze to whom it would be dangerous to make sinister propositions in un- mistakeable language.

When at times without a penny to prrohase food for his family, thousands were offered him for bis influeuce to compass the enactment by the New York Legislature of sinister measures. he notoriously spurned such bribes with hot indiguation.
