rha moment any man connected with the
..,,v il power abducts the public money aud
rie, from justice, immediately The Globe and
H. kindred prints charge him with having been
Wing, and thus endeavor to create an i'm
,,sss;on tina, all their numerous dishonest
officers are Wings or Conservatives in dis
ouse. Thus, the Globe, in speaking Of
Swauwout, calls him .IRAig- Conservative
We are aware that the organ Of the party
will stop al nothing; but the impudence Of
an assertion SO VIGOROUSLY in the face
If truth is what surprises us. No man
Knows better than the Globe that Gen. Jack
son and Svartwout were mutually enamored
Of each other, from early associations pro-
ba5lv) and thus the appointment was
forced through the Senate in opposition to
The better Judgment Of the Wings. Besides,
no man was more prodigal Of advice to the
President than Mr.. Swartwout, as to who was,
and who was not fit for office. His dictation
was even carried so far as 10 have more than
one Of the officers Of government prescribed
on The charge Of Federalism.
Now, forsooth, when he has fed from JUS
tice with the spoils Of Office in his pocket, he
is suddenly denounced by the Globe as a
Wing Conservative. Ii this be not the height
ofimpudence, we know not where to look for
it. One thing is worthy Of public regard, to
wit: that so long as any officer ofthe govern
ment, openly and palpably uses his influence
at elections, or in securing the adoption of
favorite measures, just SO long will he be re-
tnined maugre all. his pilferings and defalca-
tons. 1t is true, the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury may call his attention to the settlement
Of his public accounts, but that is all. Il is
only when defaulter ahsconds, and can no
longer be made available, that he is denounc-
ed as Wing or Conservative in disguise. -
So UNANIMOUSLY corrupt has this admins
ua,lon become that honesty in a man is a
downright drawback on his chances for Off
cia patronage Instead Of asking like Mr.
jefferson, is he capable, is he honest THE
only question is, " will he prove servile. will
he be ready to prostitute his Office for his
partyl" And II answered in the affirmative,
he is forthwith appointed.

ANOTHER DIVORCE CASE IN HIGH LIFE
sa&5. Al MOST s.&

1t will probably be recolleced by many of our
readers that Mrs. Willard of Troy, N. Y, who
was for many years at the head of celebrated and
popular Female Seminary 10 that city, was married
about year since 10 DR.. Yates, Of New York, for
merly Of Albany man who had, we believe, OBJ
tanned some celebrity as physician, though in low
circumstances as 10 pecuniary matters. Soon after
the marriage, Mrs. Yates, who had acquired hand
some property while at Troy, made arrangements 10
remove TO Boston with her husband for the purpose,
as was supposed, of more conveniently snperinend-
ing the publication Of several books of which she is
the anlhoress. Upon their arrival in Boston,
fashionable house was rented, and between four and
i've thousand dollars was taken from the purse Of
Mrs. Yates TO furnishit in good style. She soon
discovered however, that the character and dispo-
sition Of her husband the reverse of what she
he'd reason TO expect and that he was in taci ~
rannical aud unprncipled man, and withal an open
and hardened inf el and debauchee. As was to be
expected Mrs. Yates began 10 receive from
her husband the most unkind Treatment and the most
marked neglect. With The spirit Of forbearance
that distinguishes her sex, however the lady bore
in silence The llusage Of her husband until within
few weeks past, when she came TO the conclusion
that Il was no longer her duty to suffer from, and
quietly endure his cruelty. She accordingly left
"ihe bed and board" of DR.. Yates and returned to
Troy, with an intention, we understand, OF again
becoming connected with the Female Seminary in
that CITY, while her husband has refused not only to
allow her TO remove single article OF The furniture,
or her own horse and carriage all OF which
were purchased with her own money, but is at this
moment boarding at one of the hotels In Boston
upon the avails Of these articles, which he is dspos
ing OF as he finds mis- convenience or interest re-
tures. Mrs. Yates, on the other hand, has EN-
poyed a brother in-law, who is a lawyer in Yer
mont to GO to Boston and institute sucn proceedings
will secure 10 her portion at leasl of her pro-
perry. What sui cess her counsel will meet with
remains to be seen. The facts contained in the
above brief statement Of this singular and nnforu-
nate affair, we received from a source entitled TO
implicit confidence, and therefore have been in-s
duced TO give them publicity. We do SO, however,
not wife view to feed morbid appetite for scan
dial, but with desire to protect innocence and viz
from the pollutng touch Of the unprincipled and
degraded.
