1.-THE CAROLINE"

Tie correspondence between our Gov
eminent and the British Minister has
caused great excitement at Washington.
The admissions and statements of Mr. Fox
have given new aspect to this affair and
threaten rupture between the two coun.
tries. If "Her Majesty" endorses all her
Minister has said, ahd refuses to make
such reparation as is called for, we think
il highly probable that the most fatal con-
sequences may ensue. We permit this
exciting correspondence" together with
the remarks Of members of Congress,
giving full account of the matter on both
sides. to occupy much of our space this
week. Mcleod is now in Jail at Lock

Although Mr. SrARR's REINFORCEMENT

Although Mr. sTARR's re-appointmen,
would have given great satisfaction to his
friends and might have been pecuniary
benefit to himself, we nevertheless feel
that the refusal on the part of the Cover.
nor TO re-appoint him will be quite an adj
vantage to the Wing cause. While Mr. S
held the Office of Prosecutor he was con-
sclentiously opposed to taking any part
in politics but now, as he observed in a
most excellent speech he delivered at the
Tippecanoe Meeting on Monday evening,
he feels like a free man and we have no
doubt he will act as such, in upholding
our cause.

Appointments by the GoYernor.

Appointments by the Governor,
By and nth the adoice and c nsent ofMe Council
JESSE WILLIAMS to be Territorial Agent
at Iowa City. This Office was created
by the Legislature to act as a check on
the Superintendent.
DR.. w. REYNOLDS to be superintendent
of Public Schools. This appointment
was made in accordance with the wishes
of large number of our fellow citizens,
and gives general satisfaction.
HUGH r. REID, to be District Prosecu-
tor of the first judicial district, vice w.
H. STARR, whose term Of Office had ex-
|pired.
The Gazette has it that Mr. Starr was
superseded. It is not so. There are
some things connected with this appoint
ment which reflect very little credit on
those concerned. A large number in
this District who were acquainted with
the faithful manner in which Mr. Starr
discharged his duties as a lawyer and
prosecutor, were DESTROYS that he should
be re-appointed. Without solicitation on
the part Of Mr. Starr, they drew up Pc
titon to the Governor in favor of Mr. S.
These petitions were signed by several
hundred individuals. Mr. Hall of Mount
Pleasant rallied his friends and considera-
BILE interest was manifested by himself
and partner, as we understand, to obtain
signers in his behalf. The Governor
waited until the very heel Of the session,
before he would make any nomination.
He had informed some person or persons
that he should send in the name of the
one who had the greatest number of signers
on the petition. This Hall probably
knew, and it made him industrious.
By securing the District, Halls petit
ton had on it at one time eleven more
names than Starts. Just at this time, the
Governor handed it in to the Council.
But on the same day some friend in Hen
ry County sent in another petition con-
tanning thirteen or fourteen names in
favor of Mr. Starr, giving him the MAORI.
ty. Owing to the circumstances and the
objections they had against Mr. Hall, the
Council unanimously rejected his nomi-
nation. Every one then supposed that
the Governor would, as a matter OF
course, nominate Mr. Starr. Instead OF
! this, however, he nominated Mr. Reid.
Mr. R. having powerful friend in his
partner, Mr. Johnston, member of the
Council, and being moreover recommend.
ed by two or three influential Loco Focos
who were opposed to Starr, his nomina-
ton was confirmed. All we incline tc
say about this matter is, that it has caused
considerable dissatisfaction among both
parties. Mr. Starr is highly esteemed by
all who know him. He is acknowledged
to be a good lawyer, faithful prosecutor,
and none has ever questioned his integ.
rity.
CHAuNcEY SWAN, to be Superintsnd.
ent of Public Buildings at Iowa City.
This nomination was made by the Go.
vernon and was rejected by the Council
by vote of 9 to 4. Since the adjourn.
ment His Excellency has taken the re.
sponsibility of appointing MIR Swan, not
withstanding the objection of the Coun
1 Gil. Comment is unnecessary.
