These sudden surrenders are significant, la Mr. Jefferson’s day it became an aphorism, that few mien died and none resigned, Before the separation of Congress, there was a general conviction that a break-up was inevitable, Mr. Toombs was-free to declare that no other party hut the Democratic, could have stood the blunders and follies of this Administration, and doubted if that could endure two years more of such misrule, This sentiment is general, and . has been uttered even more emphatically, and with personal application, over and over again, by the very men who are most relied opon io Cougrees to sustain its policy. cert of poli isal action or bond of social ¢ympathy between the party as represented in the White House andin the Capitol, Even the publie plunder, whieh Mr, Calhoun graphically described asthe most potent of all political plasters, bas not furnished a bond of cohesion, And it has been fally tried, as the jnvestgations show.’’ Vicut ox A Ratinoap Can.—The Wheeling . (Va.) Intelligencer, of April 13tb, gives the following particulars of a desperate fight ina railroad car, which, but for the respectability of the source from whence it comes, we would suspect to be another Arrowsmith story: “We learn, froin passengers who arrived yesterday morning from the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, that a desperate and bloody rencounter took place on the night train, a short distance above Wellsville, in whieh one man was shot in the leg and another beaten so badly that he had to be carried out and medi. cal aid called. It seems that Capt. Moore, of this city, was oceupying a seat by himeelf, when a farmer, living io the vicinity of Sloan's station, came up, and either trod upon or kicked bis leg, probably unintentionally. Mr. Moore raised up and made some offensive remark, to which the other replied in the same tone, A cross-firing of words continued, until the farmer, in anewer to some epithet, struck Mr. Moore, when the latter drew a pistol and fired twice at his assailant, lodging two balls in his thigh. At this point one or two of the passengers, including the one that was shot, pitehed into Moore, and beat him most unmercifully, mutilating his face and person without stint, The excitement on the train wae most intense during the fight, aud the occurrence was much regretted by the conduetor in ebarge, as well as the officers of the railroad company, who kuow the affair to bave been as rare as it was unavoidable. Mr. Vernon Fuyp.—It appears by an official statement that $150,333 have been received of the sum of $200,000 required to secure the title to Mount Veraon, $150,000 of which has been paid in a little more than three months! 41.000 with interest thereon, is yet to be provided for, being the 4th instalment, due February 22d 1862. There is no conand ove from Kansus, lar causes, will become so much a matter of on day’s occurrence that it will pass unno: ticed, EXPULsion oF THE AMERICAN CONSUL, FROM THE , of April 24th, contains the following: “Mr, Black, Consul General of the United Stites in the Clty of Mexico, has received his passports from the factionist government, together with the order to leaye the Republic by the way of the valley of Mexico, The dismisstil was but the logical consequence of the rer cognition by the American Goverment of the legitimacy of the Juarez Government, but it Ie not so easy of explanation what induced the singular conduct of Mr, Ottway, the British Minister, in this connection. When Mr, Black received his passports, he called upon the British Minister and made an official request that he would extend the proteetion of the British flag to all American citizens and their iy that might be a resident ia Mexico, Mr, Ottaway directly refused any connection with the affair, much to the surprise of the public, while at the same time he expressed & ve lively sense of gratitude to Mr. Blaek for having on some previous occasion saved the life of an English subject. What singular developments the existing diplomatic complications hi Mexico have produced,” Meprocrity Iv Orvice.—There is much come complaint now-a-days, ib regard to the low staudard of men who are elected to fill many of our offices. Many are unable to comprehend the cause, and express great astonishment that itisso. To us the cause is very apparent, Candidates are selected more for their avaijability than for their sterling merits. And a ave the availables? Mere nobodies, A man that bas no opinion of his owa, who isa mere negative, who stands outside of all usefal, healthy conflicts, who can blow hot or cold in the same breath, These are the men who ate said to be uvobjeetionable, and they are agcordingly made the nominees for offiee, The man who venerates the principles be holds, who has the courage to defend them on all proper occasions, who will go right into the beat of of battle to aid # political friend or to advance his party—such a man has too many enemies to make hima proper candidate! Consequently he must be slanghtered to make Toom for some milk-and-water nonentity. It is true that a party that hae the boldness to take a man of this peculiar and sterling character, has a man to represent them, when they elect him—one that they know where to find, and it isa great pity that men of this class are not more generally selected by all parties. We should then have more honesty in politics.— os. Jnvestigater, Tu GupernatoniAL Canpipates.—The San Francisco Call, in alluding to the approaching contest, saye: For the Governorship alone, there are at least six candidates—three from Sacramento, one from Sat Fraucieco, one from Calaver: These six men all believe they are qualified to fill the office, and all think they have more or less claims Pri it, Weller’s claims are based upon his State Prison management and bis advocacy of Lime Point; Latbam’s claims are based upon his good looks; English’s claims are based upon the fact that he was Treasurer of State for a few months ander a Know Nothing Governor, and turned out to be honest ; Nugent’s claims are based upod his mission to Victoria, bis general services to the party, and his intimacy with the President; Dadley’s claims are based upon Customhousé promises for services rendered, the worst founded of all; and Denver's claims are based upot his being a non-resident of four years, an exGovernor of Kansas, the friend of Gwin, and . especial exponent of the new platform put forward by the Administration party.

The principle of popular sovereignty and non-intervention is cardinal and first with us, We can accept no candidate for any office who does not aceept that without reservation, and we refuse to recognize any decree intended to ignore or to set aside this fundamental condition, berices Letter from the French Emperor, ee . centra t .« ee Prager E The following, from the pub, lished at Victoria, V. 1, is any thing but encouraging.

(Va.) Intelligencer, of April 13tb, gives the following particulars of a desperate fight ina railroad car, which, but for the respectability of the source from whence it comes, we would suspect to be another Arrowsmith story: “We learn, froin passengers who arrived yesterday morning from the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, that a desperate and bloody rencounter took place on the night train, a short distance above Wellsville, in whieh one man was shot in the leg and another beaten so badly that he had to be carried out and medi. cal aid called. It seems that Capt. Moore, of this city, was oceupying a seat by himeelf, when a farmer, living io the vicinity of Sloan's station, came up, and either trod upon or kicked bis leg, probably unintentionally. Mr. Moore raised up and made some offensive remark, to which the other replied in the same tone, A cross-firing of words continued, until the farmer, in anewer to some epithet, struck Mr. Moore, when the latter drew a pistol and fired twice at his assailant, lodging two balls in his thigh. At this point one or two of the passengers, including the one that was shot, pitehed into Moore, and beat him most unmercifully, mutilating his face and person without stint, The excitement on the train wae most intense during the fight, aud the occurrence was much regretted by the conduetor in ebarge, as well as the officers of the railroad company, who kuow the affair to bave been as rare as it was unavoidable. Mr. Vernon Fuyp.—It appears by an official statement that $150,333 have been received of the sum of $200,000 required to secure the title to Mount Veraon, $150,000 of which has been paid in a little more than three months! 41.000 with interest thereon, is yet to be provided for, being the 4th instalment, due February 22d 1862.

When Mr, Black received his passports, he called upon the British Minister and made an official request that he would extend the proteetion of the British flag to all American citizens and their iy that might be a resident ia Mexico, Mr, Ottaway directly refused any connection with the affair, much to the surprise of the public, while at the same time he expressed & ve lively sense of gratitude to Mr. Blaek for having on some previous occasion saved the life of an English subject. What singular developments the existing diplomatic complications hi Mexico have produced,” Meprocrity Iv Orvice.—There is much come complaint now-a-days, ib regard to the low staudard of men who are elected to fill many of our offices. Many are unable to comprehend the cause, and express great astonishment that itisso. To us the cause is very apparent, Candidates are selected more for their avaijability than for their sterling merits. And a ave the availables? Mere nobodies, A man that bas no opinion of his owa, who isa mere negative, who stands outside of all usefal, healthy conflicts, who can blow hot or cold in the same breath, These are the men who ate said to be uvobjeetionable, and they are agcordingly made the nominees for offiee, The man who venerates the principles be holds, who has the courage to defend them on all proper occasions, who will go right into the beat of of battle to aid # political friend or to advance his party—such a man has too many enemies to make hima proper candidate! Consequently he must be slanghtered to make Toom for some milk-and-water nonentity. It is true that a party that hae the boldness to take a man of this peculiar and sterling character, has a man to represent them, when they elect him—one that they know where to find, and it isa great pity that men of this class are not more generally selected by all parties. We should then have more honesty in politics.— os.
