On account of newspaper and other rumors, we
expect the return Of Minister Shannon from Mexi-
co; but we are unable to gather sufficient light on
the subject to warrant us in q statement of the
causes and ulterior consequences of this movement.


Mckenzie Beverly has been appointed Sd Lieut..
U. ). Revenue Marine, vice Hezek ah Parmlee,
dropped for neglect Of duty. This is brother Of
Mr.. Parmlee, late one of your reporters, who saws
that Hezekah lost his place on account OF desert
ing his post to attend to sick family yet he JUS


ties the President on the ground that the discipline
OF the service m.st be maintained.


You will see by the list OF arrivals that the Office
men are concentrating already at headquarters.
We believe that the amount of none expended on
account OF oflice.seekers in Washington, from this
time till next December, will exceed the salaries of
all the officsrs in the executive departments for the
same period. 1t will be harvest TO the people Of
Washington but they reasonably calculated on ten
to one In the election OF Clay, there are so many
fancy men in the wing ranks who are above any
other service than sinecure.

We despair, ourselves, OF any modification the pre-
sent session, though vigorous effort may be anti
cpated in the HOue.


We hope Mr.. Robert Owen, the celebrated So
cast, Will not persist in his of lectures II
he does however, we shall give his theory as illus
trated In his course, tor what il is worth He has
expended large fortune IN recognizing society,
and thoush,. like Mr.. Greeley, he has effected
nothing, still, though sevenylhTec years OF age,
he expects TO revolutlonize the civilized world He
IS hale, iron-visaged old gentleman, but viii die
like the prophets, without the sight," His dreams
can never be realized. while matrimony continues
so popular among all classes. God grant that the
Meth0dists may get the old codger into their
clutches We believe thatMr. Robert Dale Owen,
the popular member from Indiana, who is practi-
cal Christian, whatever his theory may be, is op.
posed to the project Of the old gentleman delivering
exposition Of his impracticab!e scheme here or
elsewhere. We hope the father will consult the
position OF his son, and the prejudces Of the COM
munity, against general system Of property and
women In common, by the community at large.
