Some crease for removing an officer is necessary, and
u this Is not supplied by his own misconduct, he is
forthwith charged with dcfraudins the Public.
or dya;n.-Wc learn thst the President, and
Secretary Of War, contemplate osecond trip to Old
Point, for the benefit OF the health of the former,
which it appears is but Indifferent. Three trips in
four weeks, beat the late "travellng cabinet" all
hollow. 6ut lot il DC remembered, that Sir Oracle
says, every public agent is entitled To u portion of
las time'-whcn he "opes his mouth, let no dog bark. -
The President il is understood has been afflicted
bya diarrhea. The Baltimore Chronicle of We'd
nesday, says:
A letter to the editors of the U. s. Gazette, dated 9TH inst, at
Washington, says-"Cencral Jackson has been much ,ndis-
posed. On Wednesday night the physicians were in attendance
almost the whole night, engaged in cupping him. think there

TIE Post QGce.--Judso Mclean would not give
into the proseriptivc system, unless The rule was made
To work both ways, and Jackson Post Masters who
have abused their trust, removed, Us well AS such
Post Masters as bad favored the other side of the
question. The wisdom and necessity Of this rule,
are eXeInplliied b. the following statement from the
Martinsburg Gazette:
Inc leIcSIapR says IL Is authorized by the Post
master General u say
THAT upon satisfactory evidence leng given to the Depart.
incnt, that any POSTMASTER had SD far devidtod, as well fui the
sinct line OF duty as from his official instructions, as Ia stop Oh
impede the circulation OF any newspaper, whether il be fr ~
against ;he Administration, or had, IN mas oiLcIai transactions,
rendered iac'lues TO Que parry 10 The exclusion of another, such
Postnas'er would Instantly be removed from office, without re-
gard To ms political professions"
Now WE are "authCrizcd' 10 say 1nOt hy the Post
master General, but By authority equally us rcspcctu
blel that satisfactory evidence - has been given To
the Department" that the Postmaster at Boonsboro d,
Maryland, 'had so far dcviatcd. Us well from the 81 rict
line ofhIs duty as to stop aud impede the Mails go-
ing from Virginia. We are further "authorizcd" TO
say, that hc has been regularly reported 10 the De
p%arlment, and that 1t l. followed, no notice viii be
taken nt it, lnasmuch Us the Postmaster Is u 10 the
whole hog Jackson man. For the satisfaction OF
the Postmaster General, we " III state, that the Nat
lntclngencer, Nat. Journal, Con. Wing, and phonix
Gazette, have been stopped and imyeGed somewhere
ON th9 route, whilst that ct1Ste and deiicate sheet, The
Telegraph, comes on regularly. Public interest does
not require tMS-Ne "havc no confidence IN tho prin-
ciPics OF any officer who does not make the public IN
terest his first and last consideration"
Latin.-The Baltimore Republican thus winds up
an account OF the adjournment Of the Circuit Court
at Washington:
Watkins is guilty, legally ut last, as well as NOR
ally throughout; the juTies are discharged; IRE are dis
charged. The farce Is IL omiuns."
This may have been typograrhical-but the Ed
tor should look more sharply after his proof sheets.
No man Is the less respectable FOR not understanding
