The Globe newspaper of to-day contains an adj
dress signed by MIR. Amos Kendall, in which he in
forms the public that he has resigned the office OF
raj and will in future be connected
with the Globe as one of its editors There was a
rumor TO this effect all day yesterday, but as IT APP
reared to be somewhat singular that a man should
omit the office of Postmaster General 10 assume the
drudgery and toll OF newspaper editor; the rumor
was not believed. At ten O'Clock last nlShi' now
ever was informed that the rumor was correct,
and forwarded to YOU a note confirmatory OF 1t,
which suspect reached you IN time Tor your morn

Ii was also reported yesterday, that Mr. Kendall
had been commissioned 10 go to the Court OF Ma
drid TO fiji the embassy now IN the ENJOY ment OF
Mr., John H. Eaton and the thing appeared to gain
much coufdence The first report proved 10 be true,
ana Mr. Kendall is 10 be regarded hereafter as the
editor of the Globe! Mr.. Amos Kendall, editor of
the Globe! How oddly that will sound. But, it
must be- nevertheless, exactly so; and all You gen
temen who catch your light from the radiatioDs of
the Globe newspaper itself, be prepared TO bow to
Mr.. Amos Kendall as your guide, your tutelar saint
and patron.
Mr.. Amos Kendall as political writer, and as a
skfsl pioneer, al one time stood high in the cata
logue of public writers. He has not lost anything
of his vgor his tact, and he may exercise the in
fuence he ever possessed, but doubt IT. Times
change, memory change, and men change, and the
multitude that Amos Kendall addressed from 1876 to
1880, is not the same multitude that now exists A
new race Of men have come into political existence
since those days, and the talismanlc influence oil
Amos Kendalrs pen NAV not operate as II oncs
did. We shall see, however, at no remote day what
will be the end of all ths-tme will tell us whether

Dabney, the bank robber OF virginia, passed
through this city the day before yesterday, In com
pany with three of his west friends. lie returns, !
am told, under promise OF" indemnify, PROVIDED
har sRh IN he
capable of and that he is further promiseda reward
of some thousands of dollars, in the event that his
erdenee -. shall lead to the the conviction of indi-
viduas who are suspected OF having been senehtted
by his villaiDy.
And what confidence can be placed in a bank that
resorts TO such damnable measures to detect the
merely suspected guilty. Dabney, lured by pro-
misses and hire in adpQnce, to accuse the innocent
and guilty alike, will undoubtedly do all he can do
to the wages of his masters aud If he be allow
ed to appear in evidence, do you suppose that any
one will escape where condemnation is essential TO
the fulilment of his designs The wretched man,
at the outset, should be placed where he can no
longer be permitted te depredate on society.
gentleman, from Virginia, who arrived IN town
to-day informs that Dabney carried no money
with him when he went away; that he fled to Can
da, and that after remaining there many weeks, and
obtaining no funds from those who were engaged
with him in robbng the bank, notwithstanding he
often wrote for them he made up his mind to return
and expose his rascally associates He vows ven
geance and says that he will make such expose of
vlliany, inv diving numerous individuals IN Rich
mond, as will astonish the world

those institutions.
