We confess we canno, discover the propriety
Of the Marshal Of the DisIric, becoming a lac.

his independence to think otherwise. 1t is no,

the President felt himself incommoded by the
" drawing rooms" why not discontinue them?
or why not make known his police regulations
through some other channel, than 'hro' one OF
the highest officers under the laws which gov

table, worthy Marshal has reGounded less to
his credit than this 6emi official police or
der OF his. j. he 10 be made the regulator

he act in the discharge Of his duty when he
consented to put his name 10 this police regu-
%Iation? Was he acting in obedience TO, or in
fur,herance Of, any laO Of this District! We
leave these questions for others to answer.
