We believe that deficit may have occurred in
the WAYS and Means of that establishment, with.
oot any impeachment Of the integrity OF the OH
GERS at the head of it, beyond their having con-
cealed it from the knowledge Of Congress, if they
we're themselves aware Of it. After the rumors
which have been circulated, it cannot be doubt
ed that the subject will be fully examined at the
approaching Session of Congress. 1t cannot be
long, therefore, before all doubt on the subject
will be cleared up. We really hope that the a
mount Of deficiency in the funds of the Depart.

public report, and that, whatever it may be, it
will be found not to have been caused by reck'
less use Of them in rewardng political friends.

that we did what we could TO prevent his cleo

on the American character. The authenticity

Rcsolred, That the Report Of Doct.

respective newspapers of this town be

no benefits to individuals which can
counteract the disadvantages of this in.
discriminate indulgence. Where such
visits are necessary for the public ser.
vice, or for any just right Of the indi.
EIdual concerned, they will be author.
lied; nor will reasonable indulgence
for the qualification of laudable curios.
ity be refused, where the circumstan.
ces OF applicants make those proper
and where the public interest will not
suffer. But of the propriety of these,
the General-in- Chief will Judge; and
therefore no officer will visit the seat
o. government unless ordered, or un.
less specially permitted so to do by the
General-in-C Chef. An officer howev.
er, may pass through the seat of gov-
ernment when on duty, or on leave of
absence, provided it is the most direct
route to his place of destination; but in
such case, he will report in person to
the Adjutant-G General, and not remain

Upon the publication of this note the
press throughout the country chanted
a solemn dirge. Panegyrics were
showered by the Jackson papers upon
their departed friend. Even the oppo.
stion spake mildly of the spirit that
was gone, recurring to the charitable
principle
"De mortuis nil, nisi Joaum,"
but behold! in the Standard of the 26th
ult. another disappointment.
''NorIcE.-The causes which induced the no.

political chess board" for the game in
1887, or whether Mr.. Mumford had
become little obstreporous and threat.

his allegiance, or what other cause
