An Unjustifiable Attack.
For the first time to-day, our attention
was called to an article which appeared on
our local page on Friday last, making a
most unjustifiable attack upon Baiox X.
Bunt, the present member of the Legis•
'attire from Huntingdon county. We
have since been informed from a reliable
source that the prosecution against Mr.
BLAIR was of a most malicious character,
and that he was fully and honorably ac
quitted of the charge preferred against
him. We regret exceedingly that any al
lusion to the case appeared in our col
umns, since it was well known that the
whole prosecution against him was urged
by political opponents, for the purpose of
destroying his influence here and at home;
and had the verdict acquitting him of the
charge preferred against him been pro
perly viewed bi our local, he would not
.have permitterit to go into the columns
of the TELEGRAM We were entirely
ignorant of the article being in the paper,
otherwise the correction would have been
made before our attention was drawn to it.
Genl Cameron's Position
The enemies of Geu'l Cameron are
doing their very utmost to place him in a
false position on the present state of af
fairs, by asserting that he had fully en
dorsed a speech delivered by Senator Big
ler. In order to expcse this falsehood
more fully we extract the following debate
from the Congressional Globe, had a few
days since in the Senate, viz :
Mr. CAMERON. I, also, have been charged
with a petition similar to the one just presen
ted by my colleage, by a committee of thirty
three workingmen, representing, as they say, a
meeting of four thousand workingmen held at
Independence square in Philadelphia,
on Satur
day evening last. I have no doubt the men
were there, and 1 have no doubt that they repre.
sent, toe great extent - Thernsettor-or-rvrraegl-
- "num - 'Li= luso teeteum 1% not as represented
by my colleague, as I understand him hero
now. The other day, when this subject was
up, 1 bad occasion to pay a compliment to my
colleague for the speech delivered by him. I
wished to say to the country that although that
speech was conciliatory, although it went very
far to conciliate the South, none of the gentle.
men on the other side of the House paid any
attention to It. On account of what I said
then, I am charged with having endorsed the
speech and the whole speech of my colleague.
I said it was an able and a patriotic and a prop
er speech—l think those were my words—but
I did not say that I endorsed it, for I never
endorsed all his sentiments, and certainly 1
could not have endorsed the reasoning of this
speech. I agreed with him thus far: I said
that I endorsed his sentiments in favor of the
preservation of the Union. I say so now ; I
say everywhere, that I will make all reasona
ble concessions to save this Union from separa
tion, with a hope that a proper response will
be met with in the South.
I look upon the question differently from my
colleague in this respect; I do not think that
there are any offending States. I am sure the
State of Pennsylvania has not offended her sis
ter States. She has done nothing but what she
would do again in the exercise of her Constitu
tional rights. I look upon it in this way: the
North have won the battle on the great ques
tion of free and slave labor ; they are the
strong party, and they can afford to make con
. cessions to tins weaker, if concessions be desired;
and all my remarks the other day, and all I
shall say now, and all I shall continue to say
upon this question, have been and will be based
upon the idea that I am content to do anything
that could honorably be expected of me that
will bring peace to this country and prevent a
separation of the States ; but before I act, I de
sire to know that whatever concessions I and
my constituents may be disposed to make, will
be received in the spirit in which brothers
should receive kindly treatment from their
brothers. I want to know from the South
whether anything that we can do will bring
back to their duty in the Union those who aro
leading this great rebellion South ; for I look
upon it as a rebellion. I are willing to take the
resolutions offered by the Senator from Ken
tucky as a basis of settlement. I said that the
other day, I believe ; at least I have said every
where in my conversations that, while there are
some points in his proposition which I cannot
adopt, I will go far, very far, further, perhaps,
than a majority of my constituents would go,
to take away all cause of complaint on the part
of the Southern people. Especially do I de.
sire to hold out hope to the Union-loving men
in the South, who are now battling with those
who are disposed to dissever the Union. I
want to encourage them, and I will go as far
as auy man can be expected to go to enable
them to put themselves right at home and
among their constituents. After having said
this, I have the honor of presenting the petition
of these workingmen of Philadelphia.
Mr. MASON. Mr. President—
Mr. BIGLER. Will the Senator from Vir
ginia allow me a single word ?
Mr. MASON. One moment. The Senators
from Pennsylvania have spoken of a disposition
on the part of their State to make any conces
sions to the South which they can make with
proper regard to the Constitution or to them
selves. Now, I do not understand what those
Senators, or others who use that term, mean by
concessions. I am not aware that the South
ern States have asked for any concessions of
any kind, in any form. Yet that term is in
as familiar use here as a household word, that
the South asks for concessions from the North,
and that the North is willing to make them
We would never ask for concessions in any
form. It has been the uniform language of
the Southern States here, through their repre
sentatives. 5 ° far as I know, that they are per
fectly satisfied with the Constitution ; they
have no complaint to make of the Constitution.-
Their complaint is, that the Constitution has
been violated and disregarded, to the prejudice
of the rights secured to them by the Constitu-.
Hon. They ask for no concession in any form
or shape. It would be unworthy in them to
ask it, and derogatory in the other States to
yield it. What are concessions? The idea is
that the North are to give to the South some
thing that the Constitution does not entitle
them to. That is the only Idea of concession.
We have never asked for it in any form or
shape. We have asked only that the Constitu
Lion be regarded, fulfilled, carried out, as the
makers of the Constitution designed it should
be, for the protection of those rights under the
Constitution that wo say have been outraged
peunopluania /Daily e.elegrapl), grbursimv 'Afternoon, ithruarp 7, 1861.
and violated. We ask for no concession. We
should be humiliated if we alit ask it ; and
they would be humiliated if they granted it.—
We ask for no concession ; we ask only for
right. We are asking for no new provisions
whatever. We are asking for a sedulity, not a
concesion.
Mr. HALE. Mr. President
Mr. BILLER.• I hope the Senator from New
Hampshire will allow me a moment.
Mr. BALE. I have got the floor about four
times within the last fortnight, to say a very
few words, and on each occasion there hasheen
some other member of the Senate so well con
vinced that he could address the Sedate better
than I could, that-ho has appealed to me, and
I, yielding to the impression have given way ;
and the Senator from Illinois [Mr. DOUGLAS]
says that I did not hear a better speech than I
should probably have made myself. That will
do for him to say ; not for me. [Laughter.]—
I do not mean to occupy long ; I desire to state
that I wish to address the Senate upon this
subject, not at great length, and I desire some
convenient opportunity to do it; but while I
am up now, permit me to say that I have been
listening from the first day of the session until
to-day, this moment, to hear from the other side
of the Chamber just exactly so sensible a speech
as the Senator from Virginia has just made.
That, together with the telegraphic report which
I saw in the newspapers, signed by the illus
trious Senator from Illinois—no disparagement
to my friend yonder, [Mr. TRUMBULL,] and the
venerable Senator from Kentucky ; no dispar
agoment to my young friend yonder, [Mr. Pow
sat,]—makes ins think there is something in
the announcement they have made ; that
there is a good prospect of Union upon this
subject, when I hear the remarks that have
just been made by the honorable Senator from
Virginia. They express, in better language
than I could possibly utter, (because, however
correctly I may think, the Senator is mole
fluent and eloquent than I am,) the sentiments
and convictions that I entertain. As an indi
vidual Senator, looking upon myself as the
humblest Inembsr of the body, but still feeling
that responsibility which was imposed upon me
when I took the oath to support the Constitu
tion of the United States, and feeling some
thing of the responsibility which the extraor
dinary position of public affairs at present im
poses upon everybody, I desire to acquit my
self, so far as I may, of any patriotic obliga
tions that rest upon me as a member of this
body. Not taking up the hour of the Senate,
-nor keepine the impatient ears of the Senate
from hearing the dulcet notes of the Senator
from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Braun who is wait
ing for me to sit down, I shall yield the floor,
with the announcement that, at some time
which will be convenient to the Senate, and
when there is nobody who thinks he can ad
dress the Senate better than I can—if such a
time ever arrives—l hope to address a few re
marks upon this subject to the Senate, and to
that portion of the country that takes any in
terest in what we are doing here.
Mr. BIGLER. Mr. President—
Mr. FOSTER. I ask what question is before
the Senate?
Mr. BIGLER. The•motion which I made, to
print the memorial.
Mr. CRIMES. I think there was-no-such
motion made.
Mr. FOSTER. I did not hear any motion.
There wee no business before the Senate _that-
Saw.
Tho PRESIDING OFFICER, (Mr. Pons.)
The Chair did not hear the motion, but the Se
nator.from Pennsylvania says be made it.
Mr. BIGLER. Mr. President---
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator
from Pennsylvania is entitled to the floor.
Mr. GRIMES. On what motion ?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. On the motion
to print the memorial he offered.
Mr. BIGLER. I regret exceedingly , that my
impatience has abbreviated the speech of the
Senator from New Hampshire, for I am very
sure we are always glad to hear his musical
voice ; but that regret is relieved by the an
nouncement that we shall hear him soon again.
But enough of that, sir. Nor do I intend to go
into this general subject. My object is simply
to say a word to my colleague, which I know
he will receive in all kindness. He certainly
does not intend to intimate that I bad any
agency in creating the impression that he in
tended to endorse all that I said in my speech
of the 21st instant. I certainly had not. I did
not so understand him. I knew he could not.
But I will say that I was much gratified with
the manifestation of a desire—which I know he
feels—to reconcile the unhappy differences which
are dividing and breaking up the country.
For that I thank him. And I have never, so
far as I am concerned, anywhere intimated that
my colleague could or would endorse all the
sentiments of my speech; nor had I any reason
to believe that he was satisfied with all the
features of the proposition of the Senator from
Kentucky, or that submitted by myself; but he
did say, substantially, that he was willing to
make those propositions a basis of adjustment,
and to go to any reasonable length to accom
plish the desired end. But enough of that point.
Illinois and the Peace Commission
GO
Both Houses of the Illinois Legislature
have passed the following resolutions,
providing for the appointment of Com
missioners to Washington. All the
Democrats in the Legislature voted against
them. The Governor has made the ap
pointment and the gentlemen appcinted
are on their way to Washington :
WHEREAS, Resolutions of the State of Virgin
ia have been communicated to the General As.
sembly of this State, proposing the appoint
merit of Commissioners, by the several States,
to meet in convention on the 4th day of Feb.
ruary, A. D. 1861, at Washington,
Resolved ty the Senate, the Home of Representa
tives concurring herein, That with the earnest de
sire for the return of harmony and kind rela
tions among all our sister States, and our re
spect to the Commonwealth of Virginia, the
Governor of this State be requested to appoint
five tgemmissioners on the part of the State of
Illinois, to confer and consult with the Com
missioners of other States, who shall meet at
Washington, provided, that said Commission
ers shall at all times be subject, to the control
of the General Assembly of the State of Mi.
nois.
Raylved, That the appointment of Commis
sioners by the State of Illinois, in response to
the invitation of the State of Virginia, is not an
expression of opinion on the part of this State,
that any amendment of the Pederol Constitu
tion is requisite to secure to the people of the
slavehclding States adequate guarantees for the
security of their rights, nor no approval of the
basis of settlement of our difficulties proposed
by the State of Virginia, but it is an expression
of oor willingness to unite with the State of
Virginia, in an earliest effort to adjust the pre
sent unhappy controtersies in the spirit in
which the Constitution was originally framed,
and e consistently with its principles.
Resolved, That while waste willing to appoint
Commissioners to meet in Convention with
those of other States for consultation upon
matters which at present distract our harmony
as a nation, we•also insist that the appropriate
and constitutional method of considering and
acting upon the grievance complained of by
our sister State, would be by the call of a Con
vention for the amendment of the-Constitution
in the manner contemplated by the bth article
of that instrument, and if the States deeming
themselves agrieved shall request Congress to
call such a Convention, the Legislature of Il
linois, will and does concur in such call. -
Repeal of the Tonnage Tax.
For some time past we have noticed a
movement on the part of those immedi
ately connected with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to harmonize all con
flicting elements opposed to the repeal of
the tax now imposed upon tonnage pas
sing over that road, and we believe that
they have gener.tily succeeded in offering
such terms to forwarders and shippers
over that great thoroughfare that they
will not only find it advantageous to
themselves, but also to the public in gen
eral, to have the present law repealed or
modified. We observe from the Pittsburg
papers of yesterday that they have suc
ceeded in making satisfactory arrange
ments with those mostly interested in
railroads, and that the Board of Trade of
that city have adopted a report on the
subject which, we believe, will harmonize
all the opposing elements from that section
of the State. The report,laid before the
Board of Trade by a special committee on
that subject, was presented by ex-Oover.
nor Johnson, and read, as follows:
To the President and Board of Trade :—GBN
TLEMEN.—The undersigned, a committee ap
pointed to consult with the officers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company in relation to the
proposed repeal of the laws imposing a tax up
on the tonnage passing over said railroad com
pany's works, beg leave, respectfully, to report:
—That in pursuance of the duty assigned them,
the committee had a free and full consultation
with Col. Scott, the Vice President of the Rail
rued Company, on the subjects submitted for
consideration. The annexed printed proposi
tion was presented as the basis for consultation.
It is herewith submitted. The legislation pro
posed will relieve the Railroad Company from
any claim on the part of the State for the pay
ment of a tax on its tonnage, unless suds tax
shall hereafter be exacted from all railroad and
other improvement companies. It does not
intend any release from taxation on the prop
erty, stock, bonds, or other interests of the
company. The propriety and policy of requir
ing a corporation; furnishing the only great
thoroughfare between the Eastern and Western
commercial depots of our State, and to deter
mine by whom that impost is eventually paid,
whether by the consumer, producer, or agent
employed in its transportation, may e confided
safely to our representatives.
We would not knowingly and willingly sur
render any of the clearly ascertained sources of
revenue of the State, whilst her debt and tax
ation remains, for any mere local advantage we
might derive from such action ; as a part of
the whole, we might lose more than we would
gain. Still, if the arrangement proposed ben
efits the State, as well as our own locality,
there is no reason for withholding our assent.
The Railroad propose - EV tiii• assume the recent
purchase of the main line canal, to wit: to pay
towards the reduction of the public debt, up
wards of $13,500,000, on or before 1890, in
equal annual instalments, instead of paying,as
per contract of sale, $lOO,OOO annually, and
interest of principal untillB9o, and then at the
rate of $1,000,000 per annum. We consider
the change of the time and manner of pay
ment highly advantageous to the Common
wealth, ensuring the certain and present re
duction of the public debt at the rate of nearly
half a million a year.
It is further proposed that the Railroad com
pany will purchase at par the bonds of certain
railroad companies mentioned, to the amount
of the tonnage tax now in litigation between
the State and said railroad company. Your
committee believe this proposition is highly fa.
vorable to this section of the State, ensuring,
as it is alleged, the completion of two roads in
which the city and county have a large inter
est as stockholders, and of other roads with
which the vicinity is closely connected. It is
true that the aid is in the form of a loan, to
be secured by a mortgage, thus transferring
eventually to the railroad company moneys
that are claimed to belong to the State. Should
the claim be made good to the State, the inter
ests of this community would be much less
benefited by its payment into the Treasury than
by its appropriation as proposed. The com
pletion of two ten roads named in tie proposed
law, it is believed, in the largely increased value '
of property, and the developement of dormant
mineral wealth, will furnish sources of taxa
tion largely more beneficial and important
than the tonnage tax. Your committee urged
and it was agreed to insert in the proposed law,
the provision contained in the written paper
hereto annexed.
This provision secures to our citizens and all
others doing business on the railroad the repeal
of the unjust discriminations that have hereto
fore existed against our trade. By its terms no
charges shall be made at less rates from points
beyond either the Eastern or Western termini
of the road, than are charged to the people of
Pennsylvania, and particularly those of Pitts
burg and Philadelphia. Merchandizb and pro
perty charged through rates and coming by
river may be disposed of here or within a spified
time shipped eastward as per original bill of
lading; thus placing the traffic on our rivers
on the same footing with that using rail trans
portation. By the terms of the printed bill
the rates of tolls fixed on the first of February,
1861, are to be maintained as maximum charges,
and from this maximum the amount of ton
nage tax is to be deducted in futuie, or from
the amount of any lower rates fixed by the
company.
The Vice President of the company stated
that the rates fixed on the first of February,
1861, were on 4th class, forty cents ; 3d blau,
fifty cents ; 2d class, sixty cents ; Ist class,
ninety cents. These rates for 4th, 3d and 2d
classes are the late summer rates, the Ist class
only being placed as winter rates. These we un
derstood were to be the maximum charge, less
the tonnage tax. These charges would be high
ly advantageous to this county. The Vice Pre
sident, however, after the adjournment of our
meeting, informed a member of the Committee,
and desired him to acquaint his colleagues of
the fact, that he had been mistaken in these
rates as stated ; that in fact the toll sheet of the
first of February, 1861, fixed 4th class at forty
cents, 3d class at sixty cents, 2d class at seven
ty-five cents, and first class at ninety cents.—
With these maximum rates the trade of this
community would be for half the year entirely
at the control of the Railroad Company, and
the reduction from them of the amount of the
tonnage tax, would permit higher charges than
exist at present. With a maximum fixed at
the last named rates we could not recommend
the measure proposed for approve!.
With the rates fixed as just named by Col.
Scott, we would not hesitate to urge favorable
action. If it is wrong to fix the highest rates
that are charged, and equally so to adopt the
lowest charges, then, es a compromise, we sug
gest that the Board recommend that the winter
rates shall be as fixed in the present toll sheet,
and the rates for summer charges shall be the
same as last season, less the amount of tonnage
tax in each instance. We submit respectfully
the whole to the action of the Board and offer
the following resolution : that-the Committee
be discharged from further consideration of the
subject.
The amendments proposed by the Commit
tee, and agreed to by Mr. Scott, provide that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company shall not, at
any time, charge or collect rates of any descrip
tion of freights from any Eastern or seaboard
cities to Pittsburgh higher than those charged
or collected from said points west of Pittsburgh.
Nor shall the said Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany at any time charge or collect rates on any
description of freight from Pittsburgh to Phila.-
delphia, Baltimore, New York, or other sea
board cities, higher than the rates that may be
charged from any point west of Pittsburgh to
the same points, on the same description of
property. Provided, further, that the local
rates from Pittsburgh or Philadelphia to sta
tions on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
shall, at no time, exceed the rate charged
through between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Nor shall local rates between any two stations
on the road between Philadelphia and Pitts
burg exceed the rates, as made from time to
time, under the provisions of that act.
The rates charged to any lcc.l point shall
not exceed those charged to any point of
greater distance, in the same direction from
the place of shipment ; and, provided, further,
that shippers of Western products, under
through bills of lading from any point West of
Pittsburgh, (by river to Pittsburgh) to the sea
board eitie=, shall have the privilege of dispos
ing of their property at Pittsburgh, by giving
timely notice, before its arrival at that point,
to the moiler agent of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, arid by delivering up their
through lulls of lading, thus releasing the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company from all lia
bility on account thereof If the property is
not sold at Pittsbur.:ll, the owner, consignee or
shipper of said property shall have the right
to deliver the same to the transfer agency of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Pitts
burgh, and forward the same, within ten days
after Re arrival at Pittsburgh, under the condi
tion and rates of the original through bills of
lading.
On motion the report was accepted, and the
committee discharged.

WABHINOTON, Feb. 7
Mr. COLFAX (Ind.) called up, yesterday, the
bill relative to the postal service. He said the
Committee on Postal Affairs did not wish it
thought, even by inference, that they recognize
the right of States to secede from the Union.—
After a consultation, they hadagreed on a more
general bill, which provides that whenever in
the opinion of the Postmaster general, the
postal service cannot be safely continued, or
Post Office revenues collected, or the postal
laws maintained, or the contents of the mails
preserved inviolate till delivered to the proper
address, on any post route, by reason of any
insurrection or resistance to the laws of the
United States, the Postmaster General is hereby
authorized to discontinue the postal service on
such route, or any part thereof, and at any
Post Office thereon till the same can lx. safely
restored, and shell report his action to Con
gress.
Mr. COLFAX stated that although he had a
half-an-hour speech be witthecrto deliver on the
subject, be would decline, as some time yester
day was spent in debate—one speech for and
one against the bill. Votes were better than
words.
Mr. BRANCH (Dem., N. C.) inquired whether
by the bill persons in the States not seceding
can correspond with those in the States which
have seceded.
Mr. COLFA replied that no lines were estab
lished in the bill. The mails can be carried to
the borders, and thence letters transmitted all
over the seceding States by express, if they are
placed in stamped envelopes.
The bill passed, 181 to 26.
Judge Black's nomination made stir in Exe
cutive session. It was not referred to the Ju
diciary Committee, but was emitted by. Mr.
Cameron with much severity. There is a de
cided majority against the nomination includ
ing six or seven Democrats. If pressed to a
vote, he must be rejected. The President was
informed of this fact after a careful canvass of
the Senate last week, and much surprise is ex
cited that he should expose a friend to un•
necessary mortification. This place has been
kept open six months, and now, when the term
of the Supreme
.Court is nearly over, and a
new Administration about coming in power, the
President proposes to fill it and deprive his sue-.
cessor of a life appointment, properly belong
ing to him.
Judge Petit's nomination is in the same
category, and will probably share the same
fate.
While the stars and stripes were hauled down
at the Pensacola Navy-Yard, by order of a trai
tor, the only man who manifested any toten of
respect for the flag was an old boatswain, who
kissed it as it descended from the staff. He
came near being lynched for that manifestation
of respect
Lieut. Skimmer made no truce or negotiation
with the' insurgents at Pensacola. They aban
doned the experiment, because it involved in
convenient perils, not withstanding the immense
disparity of forces.
The "Peace Congress" sat two hours yester
day without making any material progress.—
The Committee on Organization reconsidered
the besolutitn appointing two assistant Secre
taries, and increased it to the number of four.
Mr. Hoppin, of Rhode Island, son of one of the
Commissioners, and Mr. Towers of New Jersey
were selected. This mode of admitting special
outsiders, and excluding the press and public,
is justly condemned as an invidious discrimina
tion. No ploporitious were presented, as sev
eral States are still not represented ; but seve
ral delegates ventilated their exnbriantpatriot
ism in expressions of devotion to the Union
and fraternity. It is evident this body will
have a more protracted existence than was at
first anticipated. The hour of meeting is,
however, changed from 12 to 10 o'clock,wbich
the venerable patriots wilt find rather trying.
Mr. Rives suggested the rules which governed
the Convention that adopted the Constitution.

The Virginia delegation to the " Peace Con
gress" are desirous of obtaining some declara
tion against coercion. They propose to con
ciliate the Cotton States by deposing the
General Government, and encouraging war
upon it without resistance. The Kentucky
Commissioners conferred last night and agreed
upon the outline of a new proposition for Com
promise, which they believe will be acceptable
to both sides and involve no surrender of prin
iiple. It will be offered after a more extended
consultation, in order to ascertain what degree
of strength may be secured. The election in
the State has resulted more favorably than
would have been anticipated. The Union ma
jority is at least ninety.
The conclusion of Andrew Johnson's speech
attracted a large attendance in the Senate, and
many passages were loudly applauded. It was
altogether the most scathing review of the Se
cessionists and their schemes yet heard in Con
gress, and will exert a powerful influence on
the Tennessee election, if circulated in time.
None of the Southern Judges on the bench
of the Supreme Court have proposed resigning
except Judge Campbell, and he may be induc
ed to reconsider a hasty committal. Secession
ists have labored hard to induce them to with
draw, in order to streng thou the movement.
The bill of indictment against ex-Secretary
Floyd, found in pursuance of the presentment
of the Grand Jury of this District, charges him
with having accepted Russel's drafts, without
requiring an equivalent in service, to the
amount of over $7,900,000.
The Navy Departmene has placed the Naval
School at Annapolis in a complete state of de
fence. Provissions for six months have been
a toted , and the necessary armament completed.
This action was taken as a precautionary mess
are against any future contingencies which
may arise in Maryland.
Some decisive action will have to be taken in
regard to the collection of revenue at Savan
nah, Mobile, and Now Orleans, where the offi
cers have or will resign. While this defection
was confined to Charleston, it ems of no great
importance, as that port was virtually block
aded by destroying the channel for uses of
commerce. Now the case is materially changed,
and must be met promptly, unless the Presi
eent intends adjourning the question till after
the 4th of March, as he has done in every in
stance of large responsibility. His whole game
at Charleston has been to avoid a collision un
til be could get out of office, being perfectly
willing that Mr. Lincoln should have one upon
entering it.
Mr. King's appointment as Postmaster-Gene-
ral was not reached, and will not be till Judge
Black's case is disposed of. Mr. Buchanan
seems to disregard the commonest decencies in
grabbing every vacancy during the last days of
his expiring dynasty.
