The two weeks later California intelligence,
brought ly the steamer Uncle Sam. which arrived
here about one o'clock this morning, is of a far more
ebetriug character than anything previously receiv'
*d ft* the Pacific side for some months. The wea
ther had become seWed and pleasant, the roads were
In a pa suable condition, and supplies of provisions
had gone fi rth from San Francisco in all directions.
The hungry had been fed. the naked clothed, and
Ihe -ick eared ;or. The markets remained in about
the same condition as per Lust accounts, with the ex
teption of flour, which hud again Blightly declined in
price.
No better evidence is wanting that the miners are
m a most flourishing condition, than the announce
tner.t that two steamers sailed from the empire city
of the Pacific on the loth and 1 Oth nit., with over
three million* seven hundred thousand dollars' worth
of gold, destined for the Atlantic States. Not satis
fied with mere gold the treasure- seekers have turned
their attention to diamonds. It is asserted that one
of these precious brilliants, larger than that of the
Crown diamond of England, which is valued at ten
milliocs, has been picked up near Columbia, in Tuo
hsmnc county. What next ?
The debate on the Central American question in
the L nited States Senate, yesterday, betweea Judge
ila.'on anil ex-Secretary Clayton. was conductcd in
a more earnest, but calm and deliberate manner,
than any previous controversy on the subject in that
body. As Mr. M. is the Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, and it being understood that
he spoke by authority, his speech will give the reader
scbk- idea of what will be the course of the admi
n iAtra tion should <Ireat. Britain, or any other Eu
ropean power, persist in extending their dominion,
either in Central, or any other part, of America.
Our special correspondent intimates that h.: did nut
go as far as authorized: nevertheless, he in effect
declared that the Monroe doctrine will not be merely
reiterated it will Ik enforced. Tie says England
" has gone as fur as ?he can, and preserve peace"
* this continent, the whole of it, must be freo from
further British aggression." We are informed that
President Fierce has already received semi official in
formation with regard to the recent operations of the
English steamer Devastation apainst Honduras,
which will probably be sent to the Senate before it a
adjournment. The cabinet had the matter under
aonsideration yesterday, arid we expect to hi ve
shortly a more definite exposition of the views enter
tained by the administration. In the meantime. Mr.
Jfasoii' i speech will be looked upon as txmtbrdra,
and as such wi'1. doutlle.-*. ew.ite considerAble ex

?? What news from Washington who has
been appointed Snch is the query which
every other man has addressed to his neighbor
> at least half a dozen times a day during the last
I fortnight. Other topics of conversation have
! lost their interest. The fall in cotton, the pros
1 pects of the money market, the news from Eu
| rope, and even the Aldermen, attract compara
i tively little or no attention. Startling bits of
gossip about oflicial corruption are barely lis
| tened to. and the retailer of a delicious anecdote
concerning the new Empress actually fails to
secure an audience. Nothing is marketable but
rows from the capital. Washington letters arc
eagerly fished out of the newspapers, and the
most ridiculous surmises of ignorant correspond
ents are made the subject of grave comment and
serious anxiety. The cliances of rival candi
dates fluctuate like fancy stocks. Jenkins gose
up on Thursday, but Snooks' arrival, with a
pretty wife, depreciates him on Friday, and on
Saturday knowing operators will not touch any
thing but Brown, who has three editors, two
Senators, and one Irish patriot in bis sleeve.
If such be the state of matters in New York,
no one will be surprised to learn that the capi
tal presents a still more striking appearance.
There the agony of office-seeking has reached
its climax. Hosts of expectants have travelled
thousands of miles to put in their plea for a snug
berth. Hotels, boarding-houses. and even private
dwellings, are crammed from basement to attic
with candidates for Presidential favor ? a garret,
with a truckle bed and a tin wash basin, is worth
$3 or $4 a night. Reams of paper are consumed
in letters of introduction and certificates of
capacity. To hear of the persecution which the
President is undergoing, and of the business
like management of those who arc supposed to
possess influence at court? to see the crowds
of poor fellows who are spending their last
cent in the campaign, and whose anxious faces
and nervous manner remind one of gamblers
round a roulette table ? to study the sbilful
manauvring and cunning devices of the pro
fessional ofl'ce seeker, one might fancy, without
any great stretch of imagination, that all the
gold of California was about to be distributed in
I landfills from the steps of the White House.
A sad thing it is, indeed, aad by no means a
matter of self-congratulation that all this in
triguing. and racing, and hoptJig. aDd fearing,
and begging. nn(i promising, and threatening ?
not to speak of more shameful practices ?are
j set on foot and stimulated by the prospect of
sharing the beggarly booty which the service
of the State oll'crs. We speak lesi as moralists
than as mere men of business. Many good
things and true might be said in deprecation of
the mania for wearing lhery with which some
men arc afflicted? much to the purpose on the
folly of bartering one's honest independence for
! a pittance from government. But we ap
1 peal to no such sentiment. Let us sup
pose that it is a glorious and a man
Jy tat-k to docket papers or copy letters iu the
oUcc of the treasury or the po-tal department.
Let us award our unqualified esteem ex officio.
to the man who extorts a consulship, o marshal
ship or a post office, from the cabinet. Let us
waive the aristocratic prejudices of republicans,
and consent to look upon the salaried do
? aie-tics of the State as equals. What is the
price for which they fctruggle ? What is the
guerdon w hich induces them to pocket their pride
Kiifl play the part of humble supplicant* just
j now in order that hereafter they may be per

Tic knowledge gained during this period of

ing. Bittei si may Ikj the disappointment of
the hundreds who return lrom Washington,
after seeing the prize on which tb'-y hud set
their heart become the prey of a rival, we al
most feel inclined to envy them when \re con
trast their prospects with those of th' ir mor ?
successful competitors. There may is- a few
.among the latter, whom, if a salaried sinecure
be an object of envy to an honest man. it might
lie possible to congratulate. There are men,

wlfpn accompanied by a tegohr stipend, would
?doubtless be ? boon. Bat by far the greater
number ftre, to our Bind, legitimate objects of
sympathy.
To complain of the system of awftrding " the
spoils to the victors,'' oh it is popularly phrased,
wo?ld be a waste of words. Something is due
to long established custom. No one, we im
agine. conceives it to be for the benefit of the
country that an efficient clerk should be din
charged to make room for a raw hand, because
the fortner happens to be a democrat and the
President a whig, or ?iee versa. But when an
abuse of this nature has taken root, it requires
a giant's strength to remove it. Party feeling j
and vindictiveness, or at least a natural desire
for retaliation, are arrayed on its side. The
memory of one proscription makes another a
necessity.
Politicians must become better Christians be
fore they can deny themselves the sweet gratifi
cation of their revenge and their ambition at tho
same time. Moreover, the custom has wrought
out, in a certain measure, its own cure. Tho
knowledge that a large number of appointments
will be in the gift of each President has stocked
Washington with a formidable array of tolerably
competent men of both parties. Many have al
ready served, and as there arc at least ten ap
plicants for each vacant post, it rarely happens
that the President is forced to select a very un
lit incumbent. This we note in mitigation, not in
justification, of the practice. Aided by judicious
management on the part of the cabinet, we be
lieve it may avail something to correct the evil,
i ABimilar benefit would attend the extension of
| each President's term of office to eight years by
I a re-election. Where the conduct of the chief
i ruler is such that the people can safely entrust
him a second time with the destinies of the
country, we should, on this as much as on any
other grounds, warmly recommend the practice.
The Fate of Mexico. ? The disorganized and
wretched condition of Mexico has, for a long
time past, furnished a fertile theme for the con
sideration and speculations of journalists and
statesmen, and has very naturally attracted
great attention in this republic. But it has at
the same time absorbed no less au amount of
attention in Europe, but more especially in
England and France. The idea of this Ameri
can Union being still further augmented by the
annexation of the extensive States composing
the Mexican federation is one which can with
difficulty be reconciled to these powers, jealous
of cur progress and dreading our preponder
ance in the scale of nations. This is the last
remedy ? the dernier ressort ? which could be
had recourse to for the rescue of Mexico from
tie evils with wlikft it has been so grievously
afflicted. Therefore, every means-calculated to
impede, postpone, or defeat the aacomplishment
of this apparently inevitable event, has been
and will be eagerly snatched at; and in this
sentiment we have perhaps the clue to some re
cent movements that have taken place in Cen
tral America-end Sonora.
The French press has. however, just disco
vered a specific which is warranted if adopted,
to restore Mexico to its former prosperity The
only great difficulty in the way is, that the
Unitsd States might not be disposed to cousent
to the arrangement. The remedy lies in the
voluntary resumption by Mexico of its ancioni
1>onds of fealty and allegiance to Spain, or. at
least, in the reforming of her government into
a monarchy, 'with one of the Castilllin prince?
of the blood on the throne. The idea is such a
capital one that we are induced to give a few
extracts from an article embodying it. published
in the l'aris Const it utionnel of the 21st ult.. and
which, we have ao doubt, will awaken some at
tention among our statesmen, by indicating how
the current of opinion runs in Europe in rela
tion to the affairs of this continent
A republic is not suited to the Mexicans. This
hi^ been iufficicntlj proved by thirty years of trou
ble, The Spanish sovereigns had elevated the pros
perity and greatness of the colonies; independence
and the republic have launched them into a state
of dissolution and ruin, of which the cause is evi
dent. Since exhausted Mexico has no more than
the choice of a master, we would prefer to sec her
return, on certain conditions, into the arms of the
Spanish monarchy, rather than to see her pmw under
the dependence of the government of V\ anhui^ton.
But if that is too great un effort of rea-ton for the
Mexican people, let then at least have the wisdom
to return to the monaschical cystem , an i let them
demand from the race of their ancient monarehs
i some prince whose ancestors have been connected
i with toe old administration of the country. * * *
' A foreign monarchy could not be installed in Mexico
I except by the aid of foreign powers. We arc com
I pletely ignorant what would be the dispositions oi
the various governments in lhat respect, but it ap
! pears to ns beyond doubt that England, for example,
repents to-day o! the attitude taken by her wht :i the
Spanish colonies revolted and liberated themselves.
Site has since perceived the fatflt which she then com
mitted. Of this we need no further proof than the
entirely opposite oonduct which she tollows in the
matter of Cuba, and her honest efforts to preserve
tLat possession to tiie crown of Spain.
If the sentiments embodied in the foregoing
extract indicate the latent polity of France and
England they will find that they arc somewhat
in the condition of the man who would reckon
without his host. To set them right therefore,
as to the course which lhc United States is pre
pared to adopt in case of any such attempted
interference in the affairs of this continent, we
recommend to their attentive perusal the inaugu
ral address of the nctual President of the United
States. If the contents of that document could
have been known when the article in the Con
?titutionnel was penned, wc venture to say that
no 'uch suggestion would ever have been uia?le
as that counselling Mexico to return to her
former condition as a Spanish province. In the
meantime, Santa Anna has returned to Mexico,
and we may soon expect to see decisive mea
sur< s taken to organiser a strong and cITicient
government, instead of those vacillating and
revolutionary imitations which have been ro
c< i.tK palmed off on that unfortunate republic.

-i i t.-'. - The great civic reform movement, which
has already been productive of such strange and
incredible events in the metropolis, secm-i now
about to be rendered still more piquant, spicy,
and interesting, by a desperate exterminating
conflict just commenced between two of our
illustrious Wall street editois. There was n
terrible commotion fn that region yesterday,
caused by the publication oi the first cartels
between the belligerent parties. The very
bulls and ljears, on reading them, ceased
growling, and were, as it were, awed into
a temporary calin. They have not yet recovered
from their astonishment, but watch with theut
uiot interest the progress of this direful
counter.
It would seem that one of the Wall street
blanket- the Courier and hneport r haj
become possessed, according to its o n story,
of a document, verified on oalh. charging ?omc
one supposed to be one of the editors of the
reformative Journal of Commerce, the other
blanket, with being guilty of one of the very
a< ts which have of late day" so much cxcite 1
th* indt; nation of that personnje. In a .
editorial article wliith appeared la the feraer j
paper one day hut week, ?ommenting apoa the
depravity of oar city government, and the
motives actuating some of its opponents in
the great reform movement set a foot, it
was broadly stated that someone had, on a
certain occasion, actually attempted to bribe
one of our incorruptible Aldermen in his official
capacity. Of course such a charge could not
be permitted to go unanswered, as silence
would be naturally construed into a virtual
admission of the fact. Therefore, in yester
day's issue, the Journal publishes the following
tierce communication from one of its editors,
??Lowing the war to be of so interesting a nature
that we are induced to give both parties th?
benefit of our circulation, to make the ca*u*
belli better known to the public
Congress Hall, Albany, I
Saturday, March 12, 1863. (
The Courier and Enquirer, in its leader of Thurs
day last, publishes the following:?
One pajer especially, adroitly working under tke ?over
of political neutrality bat made it its businnns to brio#
whig officers of the city government into odium, wbereaa,
in trutb, four fifths of the official m&lfeaaanee with
which we are curbed i? of democratic orign. We might
eaiiily khow what ?uch attacks are worth, by the publica
tion of a hworn affidavit in our han<li>, from an e* Alder
man, inculpating the avjiilant in thin case in an attempt,
while acting u the agent of a corporation, to bribe him
in bis official capacity.
I demand to know, through the columns of that
print, whether I am the person intended, and if so,
that the alleged affidavit be published. 1 have been
here since Tuesday last, ana shall not bo present in
New York, except temporarily, for some aayB. On
my return to the city 1 shall give this matter prompt
attention. Geo. B. Bctleh.
Now. then, let us see what the valiant editor
of the Courier will respond to this resolute de
mand. Will he publish the affidavit alluded to.
with a full accurate, and reliable history of the
whole affair ? If he is able to substantiate his
charge, why even the indictments against the
Aldermen will be placed in the shade by this
new and more interesting phase in the move
ments of the day; but if not, then be must cry
peeeati. make his confession, and solicit pardon
at the hands of the incensed editor of the Jour
nal. Wall street is amu/.ed at the magnitude
of the impending conflict, and it is said that
already immense bets arc laid upon the ie-ue.
Stand aside, and let us have a fair fight, and no
shirking.
Rati.boad Route to tub Pacific ? Retort
of Commissioner Bartlett. ? While Mr. Barfc
lett. the commissioner of the Mexican boundary
line, was engaged on that important work, he
took the opportunity of exploring the country in
reference to one of the three proposed railroad
routes to the Pacific -namely, the most southerly
of them? and he has reported on the subject to
the government. An exploring party has been
sent out there to make a minute and accurate
survey ; but, meantime. Mr. Bartlctt'e report,
which is the result of a more rough and hasty
examination, will be read with deep interest.
i information on this subject is eagerly sought
I lifter at the present time, and as erroneous
?views are entertained in regard to it by m;iny.
we have procured a copy of this valuable doc
ument. to which we refer the readers in another
column.
There are three great routes now before the
public by which h. is proposed to construct a
railroad. The first of these is from Mis* ouri
through the woll-known South Pass of the
Rocky Mountains, and'thence to San Fratxfisco.
This route is very direct, and. doubtless, the
shortest. The second, to cross the Rocky Moun
tains at a point west of Albuquerque; an<! the
third, from a point north of and near El Paso
del Norte, on the Rio Grande. Each ol' these
routes has its advantages and disadvantages, a-:
we thowed a short time ago in an editorial ar
ticle on the subject. In a work of such mag
nitude as the proposed railroad, a thorough ex
amination should be made, by experienced engi
neers. of the several routes mentioned: <ift?i
which the government can determine tlx- one
that has the greatest advantages, and act ae
accordingly. Mr. Bartlett, as we have -aid.
while conducting the boundary commission
across the continent, explored the region south
of the Gila, where it is proposed to run one of the
lines, or that extending west from ?>r near El
Fai-o. This is the rustle which is particularly
interesting to Texae, .and which, should it be
adopted, may have it* terminus within that
Slate.
One advantage whicb * ould accrue from the
route south of the Gila and across the nor i hern

Talk on 'Chang*.
The conversation turned on the character of the o t*,
by the Afriet. The state aud prospect* of*he ErglNti
money market were considered favorable, and it vras be
lieved that, ahould peace be maintained, ?spe d illv
between Era no* and England there was nothing in the
future to prevent irreat abundance of money, c#B?-d by
the influx of Australian gold.
Private lettersceceived by the Africa ajxak o! lar^e
rtceipt J of gold expected by early arrival*. The th'p
TJiiwe Bell", fropi Port Philip, with ?310,000 in jruld dust,
had been the only arrival of inportance line* the 12th *.f
Junuiry. There were 199 vessels (comprising '?O.OOti
tout) loading for Australia. The steamship Australia,
of the Australian Mall Steamship Company, hal sailed
from Plymouth, with ?'00 000 in specie, aad 200 mivil
bugs. It wa? estimate I by some that the ateamship
Great Britain now due, would bring a large amount of
gold. The receipts of gold in England wituin the nont
four or live nuiutha wi re expected to rea^h over $60,
000,000. It ? as believed that aome orders cair.?> out for
p-jrcbaiea of Southern flour, on Australian uccoiut.
Tlie eouimerciul character of the news, a* far as ? otton
t ni flour were concerned, was unfavorable. The f truer
wa dull, while (lour was rii and a quarter eenf? p?, bir
r<l lower. Wheat was nominally the inif, whil .? orn
sold rather freely at about former rates.
In conversation regarding the propriety of di^iimi
nating between the railroads of the State, by reg ila'ing
the tolls of the central roadi, white other* were ei'?r*.|>t
wa? net approved of by ecmc merchants who spoke of tlie
lubject. Kailroade, at be-it,, cannot carry freight in
competition with c&naW in the biating season, while in
winter it la a great convenience to the public for theui t?
Co io Tlie opinion was, that were these road* loft with
out interference in their tolls, the canal receipts would
be aboot the came And at best, there were no urgent
rea-ons for legblativo interference. IJy taxing the cen
tral loads an undue, if not unjust, dlecriminitou .n
favor of the competing railroad liues of Pennsylvu, m u
made. If freight* cannot come over our roads on fa
vorable terms, they must reu?h tide water through
Pennsylvania.
There was some conversation respecting the landing of
?mi|rrant passengers, by ?inall boats from sliip-t in the
ftre: m, and it was ?ald tbat, th?-re was a project CDter
taine<l by pome of our citi/^us to indure tho Legida'.u j
