RUTHLESS PRESCRIPTION.

Intelligence has reached this city, entirely
to be relied OF, that Gen. Beverly Daniel, Mar
shall of the District, is about TO be removed
from Office, by GTr Van Buren,! When we
adverted short time since, to the fact, that
the Marshal had appointed so large proper
ton of Administration men, as Deputies, I'M
der the Census Act, we supposed it would be
quite feather in his cap, in the eyes of Mr.
Van Buren,. But It seems, because he did not
choose all of them from the ranks of the faith
ful, he is to be 0StrGciSed. If this be not The
reason for his removal, we are at a loss to con-
ceive one. tits well known, there never was
more faithful officer. Receiving his appoint
ment under Mr. Jefferson's Administration. in
1903, Gen. Daniel has enjoyed an uninterrrpt-
ed succession, the unbounded confidence ofev-
cry President, down to the present period: and
his character Is beyond the reproach of even
the basest Calumniator. He was the cherish
cd friend of the illGstrious Marshal--tbat GREAT
and good man, who for purity and wisdom, has
left no equal behind. But what matters II. that
Gen. Daniel can baast Of long life of faithful
public service, and honorable private reputeq
HE'S guilty Of the {" damning SIM ofexercis-
ing his OlCa Judgment, in the affairs of his Office
and must, :" for so worthy cause" be DOOM
ed to the political guillotine. w e doubt wbe-
Their, IN the official conduct ofany Officer IN
der the Government, so little to condemn can
be found, as IN that Of the gentleman whose
case Is now under consideration. Who ever
heard Of any delinquency in discharging the
functions of his office? Examine the records
Of the Federal Court, for the thirty.two wears
that he has been Marshal, and you viii find no
enforcement for duties neglected. ENQUIRE at
the proper Department at Washington, and
you VIII his accounts always regularly set
tied at the proper periods. But all this would
not suffice. Mr. Van Buren, has the power,
and he is determined that those who win not
'crook the pregnant hinges Of the knee" shall
feel it.
This ranapgge spirit of Reform, having plut-
fed ifs cernlorant appetite to satisfy with the
blood OF victims at the North, has turned the
full broad glare Of its basilisk glance upon the
South. We'll, let 1t comet We shall see
whether the plain Republican people of North
Carolnas VIII sanction a course OF policy so all
| Torrent to every generous feeling--so well cal
cnlated to-stide all independence, and TO en-
| courage that vile spirit of watching for the
strong side, already spreading like a pestilenee
| throughout the land.
The successor Of Gen. Daniel is Wesley
Jones, Esq. of this county. 1t is due to him 70
say,that he united IN remonstraneesitoth the Pre-
sldent, against the removal ofthe present In
eumbent; from the double conviction. no dopbt
that the step wasuncalIed for, and would serI-
ously injnre the Administration. And il lciH
do so.-Raleigb Register.
How TO GROW RIcH.--Nothing is more
easy, says Mr. Pauldng, than to crow rich. 1t
is only 10 trust no body. to befriend none--to
heap interest upon interest, cent upon cent
to destroy al the finer feelings of nature. and
be rendered mean miserable and despised, for
some twenty or thirty years, and riches win
come as sure as disease, disappointment and a
miserable death.
