From the United States, Telegraph,

Here is the question presented. Will the Glob deny that MT Ingham, Gov. Branch, and MT Be- rien. were dismissed because they refused to con pei their families to associate with that of Majr Eaton?
 Will the Globe deny that, in January, 1880, mer- Der of Congress waited upon these gentlemen, and informed them that it was the Presidents dete- imitation to remove them from office unless they conformed to his wishes in this respectl
 Will the Globe deny that MT Van Buren avael himself of his peculiar situation to ingraciate him self into the favor of the President by urging tn, propriety of their doing sof
 Will the Globe deny that these gentlemen gav an unqualified refasal and that they, at that timt declared their readiness to give up their respectv, offices rather than hold them on such conditions!
 Will the Globe deny that the "malign influence no,o controls the public patronage7 lift does, we pledge ourselves to prove the truth ofour asserton either in court of justice or before committee d Congress.

The following paragraphs from the Globe of the 22d ult in reply to the Telegraph of the preceding evening, demand place in our columns:
 "A correspondence, of private nature, between Messrs Eaton and Ingham, appears in the Telegraph of last evening. It is to be regretted that crcum- stances sometimes occur in the private relations of life which make such appeals M necessary The mer- ture, we shall leave to the decision of the public, without any comment from
 "We are, however. requested to state that the &C., count given in the Telegraph of collection of per- sons in the Treasury Department. with the view of making personal attack on Mir Ingham, is utterly destitute of foundation.
 "We arefurther requested to state, that Major Ea- ton did oihom any attendant tohatercr seek meeting with Nj, Ingham, having first sent him word of his intenti,n in which he failed, simply because the obieo could not be effected without violating the sanctity of private dwelling

From the Washington Telegraph, June 2l. ANOTHER ATTACK UPON THE LIBERT,
 OF THE PRESS

The following correspondence speaks for itself; and is further confirmation of what we have said re-. lative to the which dissolved the late Cabi net. We reserve, for subsequent notice upon this extraordinary attempt to silence this press, by hold ing others responsible for our statement of fact which, so far as Mir Ingham was concerned had been stated in the Philadelphia Inquirer, several weeks age, the truth of which cannot be denied- It is proper, however, that we should say that Mir lngham having completed the important reports. for which he continued in the discharge of the duties as Secretary the Treasury, had made his arrange ments to leave the Department yesterday. In the morning he was engaged in taking leave of his friends when Major Eaton, accompanied by several others, made his appearance in the Treasury build ing. Their conduct was such as to attract the mo- tice of the clerks; and report soon was circulated that he had come there for the purpose of making personal attack upon Mir Ingham. One ofhis friends immediately apprised MT Ingham oft; and he hay ing prepared himself for the occasion, passed to his office without molestation Some short time after wards Major Eaton, with two of his bothers-n-law, Doctor Randolph and Major Lewis, left the building MT Ingham, we are informed, will leave the city for Pennsylvania, tomorrow.

WAsHINoToN, 18th June, 1851. Sir: have not been able to ascertain, from your note of last evening, whether is the publication erred to byyou, the act stated in the Telegraph, which you desire to know whether have sanctioned or will disayow. If it be the first you demand it is too absurd to merit answer If it be the last you may find authority for the same fact in Phiadel- phiA paper, about the first of April last which is deemed to be quite as friendly to you as the Tele- graph may be to me. When you have settled such accounts with your particular friends it will be time enough to make demands of others. In the mean me take the occasion to say, that you must be not little deranged to imagine that any clustering of yours could induce to dsavow what all the in- habants of the city know, and perhaps hafthe peo- pie of the United State believe to be true

IOtII JuHt, IOOI. Sir: have received your letter of to-day, and re- gret to find thatto frank andcandd inquiry brought before you, an answer impudent and nsolent is re- turned. To injury unprovoked, you are pleased to add insult. What is the remedy? It is to indulge the expectation that, though man may be mean enough to slander base enough to encourage it, he yet may have bravery sufficient to repair the wrong In that spirit demand of you satisfaction for the wrong and injury you done me. Your answer must determine whether you are so far entitled to the name and character of gentleman, as to be able to act like one. Very respectfully,

It is such contemptible fellows as yourself that have set forth rumors of their own creation and taken them ground of imputation against me. Ifthat be good cause, then should you have pity of your- self, for your wife has not escaped them, and you must know it.-But no more here correspon- dence closes. Nothing more will be received short of an acceptance of my demand of Saturday, and nothing more be said by me until face to face we meet It is not my nature to brook your insults, nor will they be submitted to-

The Press in Poland.-A French journal has been established at Warsaw-one result of the late revo- lution-entited "L'Echo de la Pologne." It was commenced in the latter part of January and is pub lshed on alternate days; it bears for a motto an adapted version of Shakespeare, "To be, or not to be, thus" Etre fibre, ou metre pas." The Po- fish language being chiefly confined to the country, the French has been adopted for the journal as the readiest medium of conveying to the world full knowledge of the sentiments and actual state of the brave defenders of that unfortunate country.-Lon- don Atheneum.

President ot the United States.
 WASHINGTON, 2lst June, 1881. The President of the United States:
 SIR Before leave the city, it seems to be due to the Government that should perform painful duty, imposed upon me by the events of the last fortyeght hours. It is not necessary for me to detail the circumstances which have convinced me of the ex- stence of vndictive personal hostility to among some fthe officers the Government near your per- son, and supposed to be in your special confidence, which has been particularly developed within the last two weeks, and has finally displayed itself in at ltempt to way-lay me my way to the office yester day, have reason to believe, for the purpose of assassination Ifyou have not already been appris- led of these movements, you may perhaps be surprs- ed to learn that the persons concerned in them are the late Secretary of War and the Acting Secretary of War; and that the Second Auditor of the Trea- ury Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States, were in their company; and that he Treasurer's and Registers rooms, in the lower part ofthe building of the Treasury Department; and also grocery store between my lodgings and the of ice were alternately occupied as their rendezvous while lying in wait; the former affording the best Opportunity for observing my approach. Appraised of these movements my return from taking leave lof some ofmy friends, found myselfoblged toarm, land, accompanied by my son and some other friends, repaired to the office, to finish the business of the day, after which returned to my lodgings in the ame company. It is proper to state that the prin- Npdi ptfsOHS WIlO DeeH tuus TUT btNt- al hours retired from the Department soon after uttered by room, and that received no moestation fom them either at my ingress or egress. But hav- ing recruited additional force in the evening" they Paraded until late hour on the streets my lodg- hgs, heavily armed, threataning assault on the dwelling I reside in.
 do not present these facts to your notice for the purpose of invoking your protection. So far as an individual may rely his own personal efforts, am willing to meet this peril; and against an assault by numbers have found an ample assurance of fprotec- ton in the generous tender of personal service from the citizens of Washington. But they are commu- nicated to you as the Chief Magistrate ofthe United States, and most especially ofthe District of Colum bia, whose duties in maintaining good order among it's inhabitants, and protecting the officers ofthe Go vernment in the discharge oftheir duties, cannot be unknown to you.
 have only to add, that so far as l am informed, althe persons engaged in giving countenance to this business are officers of the Government, except the late Secretary of War.

POLAND.-The following is from article in the last number of the American Quarterly:
 "We dread to hear the result of the glorious but unhappy conflict in which that devoted country is engaged We know, indeed, that the Poles will be faithful to their cause we know, that though single handed, hemmed in by hostile powers, and all un- provided as they are with the means of conducting war; they will sustain the terrible struggle with fear less intrepidity. But Warsaw like Carthage of old
 must fall at last; though the excited spirit of patriot ism may cover its fall with glory which shall not fade. We fear almost to read of partial suceesses- The generous enthusiasm of the Poles for political independence, is identified with the best interests, tho security and permanent repose of Europe it has not failed to achieve brilliant actions in its contest against the fearful odds of an immense empire; it may perform yet more honorable deeds upon the great theatre of the contest; but all these temporary advantages fail to excite in us thrill of triumph We fear for the result. The brave opposition which has been made, displays the more fully the merits of the nation which is doomed as victim, and We almost shrink from admring the gallantry which will eventually render more bloody and more severe the sacrifice that at last be offered on the uhholy altars of despotism. The nationality of Po- land has excited the strugge has animated her sons to battle; and has armed them in the panoply of an heroic despair. That nationality will be utterly de- stroyed by the impending success of Russia. The alarm rung too late for the devoted people tbcy rallied to the watch-word of liberty, but their glory and strength were already departed. Its name will be erased from the list of naons and the beautiful plains which the proud cavalry of its nobes used to assemble in the naughty exercise of their electiye e rights, will be confounded with the great mass of
 lands which constitute the vast empire of the North
