U. S. Ministers abroad.

The representatives to Foreign Courts appointed by the Lincoln Administration, are not likely to create a very favorable impression in behalf of that Government in Foreign Courts. Mr. Adams, at the English Court, is a person of respectable talents, and Mr. Dayton, of New Jersey, who goes to France, a former third-rate member of the U. S. Senate, who can speak very tolerable English. With these exceptions, the rest of Lincoln's Foreign appointments are execrable. Carl Schurz, the atheistical, Abolition, European Red Republican, is sent to the Court of Catholic, Slaveholding, Monarchical Spain. Burlingame, a pot-house, religious, Massachusetts politician, is sent to the dignified Court of Austria; and the political slang-whanger, Cassius M. Clay, who has never distinguished himself by anything but opposition to the institutions of his own South, is Minister to Russia! The foreign world will have a grand conception of the people of whom such as these are the representatives.
