The port of London has seen many rare and strange sights in its long history, and one of tbestrang est, says the GlobeDemocrat, was the-re'centappeftftJUceofii teaship called the Mee Foo fivinff "the Chinese flag." It -was not exactly a high'pooped, -shingle-bottomed sailing junlc snch as we are accus tomed to associate with Chinese sea faring, but a handsome, Clyde built steamer of 1,700 tons or so, which had been bought by an enterprising Chinese firm, and with whioh the owners pur posed to make a great deal of money in the carrying trane. In this country we are so much superior to the ignorant Chinese that wo do not permit our citizens to own Clydo-built vessels, or to register them under the American flog and to make money with them. We protect 6ur American shipping by wise and kind legislation, and wo are so successful in protecting it that last year there -was not a single Ameri can vessel that passed through the" Suez Canal or -entered the har bor of -Amsterdam, and it will not be ten years before Chinese flags, instead of being strangers in Lon don port, will be more numerous than American flags. The .Democratic congressmen hare elected tJen. Rosecrans chair man of the congressional campaign committee. - It is characteristic of the Democracy to always make a mistake at the time when the con sequences of their mistake would prove most disastrous to them selves, and in their selection of. a jnan as their chairman whp is pre eminently unfit for the position, they have evinced their usual in- aDUity to torget or learn any thing. The Qregonian reports Nicholas Luning.:as having said tlwt bis new purchase, the Wm. Taber, ...would-be, ready to go on the lino between here and San Francisco in a mon'thrjhat ho "had sent an agent to"New York commissioned to buy "two steamers suitable- for his trade: that he had one and a half million dollars to invest and knetnof no better enterprise than aflteamshlp line, to Oregon, and that the Taber would bo run only till the new steamers arrived. Washington Letter. Prom our ItejruUr Correspondent. Washixotox, D. O, March 10,1832. The enemies of ex-Senator Conkling have been talking a good deal about how tlio vote stood on his confirmation for Supreme Judgebut accounts do .not agree. Of course tho proceedings of the executive session are secret and the oath of '-a 'Senator requires him to keep them so, henco, whatever is said about the vote is specula tion or-guess-work based upon views expressed : by the various Senators. beforehand. Tho state ment that Senator Miller, of New York, was ono of the few Repub lican Senators who voted against Mr. Conkling may pretty certainly be put down as incorrect. This talk about obtaining the secrets of the executive session reminds me of a sort of praotical joke played upon Senators by the astuto Ed munds. It was at a timo when thesecrets-of the daily executive sessions wore leaking out freely. In fact, . the executive sessions were no secret, for the newspapers daily published oery thing that was said or done that was worth publishing. Senator Edmunds is a strict constructionist of all rules and laws. He believes in making 'executive sessions secret. No newspaper reporter ever found a leak in him and it is doubtful if any one ever tried. In one of the executive sessioas the subject of the accuracy with which the news jwpers got tho reports of the pro ceedings supposed to be secret byJfr. Edmunds, who. protested against it and insisted that it should bo stopped. At his instance all the doors of tho gallery were examined to see if they were locked, and all the recesses w ere looked into to see if any caves- dropping reporter had concealed himself within the chamber. Sen atorial dignity even stooped to look under the seats in the report er's gallery. "Of course, no intrud ing reporter was discovered, and the Senate was convinced that nono save those legally entitled to be present heard the proceedings. Notwithstanding this precaution, tho newspapers continued to pub lish full reports of tho secret ses sions, including the expedition to and search of the galleries. After a day or two's talk over the mat tor it datvnod on tho Senatorial mind that Mr. Edmunds had, in fact, discovered the method of leaking, by the search he had in stituted. Ho had compelled the Senators to demonstrate that th only way in which tho secrets got out was by somo Senator telling. Ho was not willing to stand up in the Senate and intimate that the Senators gave away executive se crets but he compelled the Senate to show itself that the body con tained leaks. Another recent nomination of tho President's that has created a good deal of stir in certain circles is "that of Pinchback for Surveyor of Customs for the port of New Orleans. A lot of.people here ai.d in Louisiapa have been very much, agitated over this appointment and telegrams have poured in pro testing against his confirmation. It is an office- which Pinchback has been very anxious to secure, and which would give him a great hold on the colored vote of that section, two years ago his name was sent in for tho same position under -nu understanding said to have been had with Secretarj Sherman, but President Hayes when his attention had been called to the nomination he had made, withdrew tho name and Pinch back went home in no small dudg eon -to Louisiasa, and was a pro nounced Stalwart from that time. His present selection, it is under stood, was at tho suggestion of Senator Kellogg and is the inaug uration of an effort to solidify tho colored vote of tho State. Pinch beck is wealthy and a keen poli tician and his appointment in con nection with that of Senator Ken nedy, another colored man, to the position of inspector of money or der postoffices in Louisiana is re garded as a very shrewd and im portant one from a political point ot view. Since the apportionment bill passed there has been a good deal of figuring on the probabilities of the next electoral college as well as the complexion of the next Congress. By the terms of tho new law the electoral college will consist of 401 members, instead of 3C9 as in the old college, and a successful candidate must have 201 votes, instead of the memo rable 185. Dakota is likely to become a State before the next Presidential election, in which case the college will contain 404 mombera and a majority will re quire 203 votes. In tho elections of the last decado tho sixteen Southern States cast 138 electoral votes, in tho next they will cast 162. Assuming that Dakota will at that timo rank as a State and be Republican in politics, and that the South will still be '-solid" tho Democrats figure that just 50 ad ditional votes will bo necessary for them. But from the present outlook they had better not count very largely upon the solidity of the South in the next election. But by the way, since it is becom-. ing so common for presidents and rulers to be shot at vide the lat est attempt on the life of the Queen of England it is doubtful if eithpr parry will find anybody two years henco willing to set themselves up as a target. If this sort of thing goes on the office of president will ;go begging. -fcPOT. -Buy a eopyof The WEEKtTa.s- tobias to-day.
