This presents question Ol more than OrdiDa- " importance. The Consultation declNes " The House cf Representatives SHALL choose their Speaker and other officers" Here is . fair opportunity of testing the OmnipOtence cf pOlCer, on the subject of removals. These Clerks have been in the service Of the House fur many years, virtually appointed by the House their names are regularly reported by the Clerk, and appropriations made For the payment of their salaries the new Clerk as- sumes the power to remove them, and appoint others in their places, without the consent of the House. A few days will determine, wheth- CT the House will submit to This usurpatiOn of their constitutional power and positive duty, and quietly yield their nccks to the yoke of petty tyrants! fN. Y. Adr. Another letter, dated Jan. 9, says-One of the newly appointed clerks, is Mr. Early, from Georgia, ,who is public 6efauIter,as post master at Savannah, in the sum of several thousand dollars. He managed with cOnsid- erabe address to obtain tie late appointment.
 He came on here and advertised he was'a can didate for the office of clerk. He called on his friends, hut they could give him no encOur- agement. He continued to hOw his own trumpet, and somewhat alarmed Mr. Frank lin and his friends. Having accomplished this he went to Mir. Franklin, and "ffsred in consideration of the peace and harmony of the party, to- withdraw, provided he could have a subordinate station. Mr. Franklin was slow to perform, being himself in snug 1 little office of three thousand year; and if Mr. Early had not threatened tO cane iiim. it is not improbable MT. Early would yet lave been without an appointment
 1 CINCINNATI, Dee. 17, 1888. I Lol 1oS ing for the purpose of nominating Judge Me Lean. The house was crowded with our most respectable people. It was a union of rcAectipg and patriotic men against the office hOIders.y, twas the people and John Mclean on one side against Martin Van Bnren and | the Kitchen Cabinet on the other. phe meet ing was publicly called, and it's business open ly transacted in the face of the public. The people here are taking their own business in- to their own hands. Let the office holders loo k to it; their reign Is at an end in Ohio. This they fear, and are consequently out uP- on the peoples candidate; aye, and upon the people themselves. The meeting here was 1 got up by the strongest and oldest Jackson men. The Chairman was my old friend Gen. eral James Findlay, the decided persopal and political friend of the President, and who enjoys, and deservedly, more of the conf dence of the Jackson party, than any man in Ohio. There were three Vice Presidents and three Secretaries, all with perhaps one excrp. ton, Jackson men. The mass of the meet 1 ing was formed of the old friends of MT. Clay, and the friends of the present adminis-
 traton. Let the office holders denounce this union. The people have produced and will sustain it.
 The Simon Pures would be glad to force Mir. Clay again into the field. This ttey will not be able to do. Many of the friends of Nlr. Clay are now supporting Mr. Mclean as
 man of indefatgahle industry. unisnpeachahle integrity, and great political experience. He is great fayOriie with the people of Ohio, 10
 whom he has been long and is well known
 He certainly gets this State, and We think there is not much more doubt of Pennsylvania. l 7He Murderer of Miss Cunningham.-We published an article from the Port Opposite paper, (says the Baltimore ChrOncle,) respec- ting the arrest and imprisonment of man on suspicion of being the murderer of Miss Gun I ningha in Cecil county, in. April. 1885, We are now informed, in addition 10 the ar- ticle published yesterday, that the man ar rested is a shoemaker, who has resided at. Or| in the neighborhood of Port Depositr, ever since the murder was cOmmitted-and that in one instance he appeared as witness. and tes- tifed strongly against two men who, few years since, were arrested on suspicion of hav- ing committed, or being accessary 10 the said murder; and had it depended an his testimo ny alone, they would. in all probability, have been convicted. The discovery no,0 made was very providential. He had hypothecated very valuable ring to man to whom he was indebted, which ring the creditor placed upon his finger and soon after. being in company,
 it was observed and identified, Miss Cunning hams name being still lrgible! On being questioned, he informed from whom he re- ceived it. and for what purpose. and referred 10 two persons who were present at the trans action. Process was accordingly issued. and the suspected culprit was arrested, and is now confined in Elkton jail. On searching his premises, we also learn that stocking, be- longing to the deceased, was also found, which, on comparing, correspOnded precisely with its fellow, which has ever since been pre- served by her family. Niles' Register. of the 23d of April, 1825. in mentioning the horrid account of the murder, says" She was just about to be married, and her ring, the emblem of plighied faith, was carried off, H is possi- ble thot this circumstance may lead 10 the dis coUery cf the murderer"
