EDwARDsyILLE, FEBRUARY 10, 1892.

Under the domestic head will be found
several extracts from eastern papers on
the subject of the removal of Mr.. South
wick from the post Office at Albany, and
the appointment of Col. Van Rensselaer,,
a member of congress, to fill his place.
We have ever considered the right of
the executive to make appointments
from either house of congress, as perni-
cious to the best interests of our country,
and we are happy to see the exercise of
it, in this instance, SO generally repro
bated. The fate of the Missouri ques-
ton has shewn, conc lusiyely, that with
this appointing power, the administration
can carry any lavorite measure, in oppo-
sition to the wishes of a vast majority of
the people. This fact was uublushingly
confessed, and sarcastically thrown in
the teeth of the dough-faces, by a Virgi-
MIA Representative But will not the re-
marks, in the extracts alluded to, with
more propriety apply to the appointment
ola senator to "pctty Office" which is
not followed by resignation of his seat ?
To the latter there is constitutional pro-
hibition, as well as special statute 10 the
same effect To the former there is no
restraint upon the executive.
Court Ccremo7y.-A letter on this
subject, from the secretary of state to the
vice president, will be found in the pre-
ceding columns. The occasion of its
being brought forward at this time is ex-
planned in the preface. The publication
in the Richmond Enquirer, to which il
refers, accused Mr.. Adams of establish
ing an unprecedented system of etiquette
at Washington, and mentioned this letter
as confirmation Of the charge.
administrators and Judges Of Probate,
who can read, should take notice Of the
following extract from the 9Th section OF
the " act establishing courts Of probate %
The time of settling all estates il
above the value ofthree hundred dollars,
