CHANGE or THE CABINET.

The following gentlemen resigned their re-
spectlve Offices on Saturday last, viz
Mr.. EWING, Secretary Of the Treasury
Mr.. BELL, Secretary Of War.
Mr.. BADGER, Secretary of the Navy.
Mr.. GRANGER, Postmaster General
MIR. CRIrTENDEN, Attorney General
II is understood that the Postmaster General
did not resign until Saturday afternoon, several
hours after his four colleagues, and that the
Wing portion of the New York delegation in
Congress urged him to take the step, about the
propriety or necessity of which he seems to
have had some doubt, and which he has probably
taken with reluctance.
AS we anticipated, four able and distinguished
gentlemen were promptly nominated to the Sc
nate, by the President, on Saturday, to fill the
vacated places. The new nominations were as
follows:
WALTER Forward, Of Pennsylvania, to be
Secretary of the Treasury.
JOHN MCLEAN, Of Ohio, to be Secretary of
War.
ABEL P. UpsHuR, Of Virginia, to be Secre tary
OF the Navy.
HUGH S. LEGARE, of South Carolina, to be
Attorney General.
The following nomination was made yester-
day:
CHARLES A. WIcKLIrrE, of Kentucky, to be
Postmaster General.
These are all able, learned, distinguished and
patriotic men, Of eminent purity and integrity of
character, and sound Republican principles
They all, we believe without exception during
the struggle of 1910, favored the cause which
resulted in the election of Harrison and TYLER
The country will see in the selection of such
men, the evidence Of Mr.. Tyler's sagacity and
discrimination, and an earnest Of his consistency
to the principles and the cause by which he
came into power.
The people will also bear in mind that DAN
lei WEBSTER stands steadfast at his high and
honorable post Whatever others may think,
his great and comprehensive intellect sees yet
no sufficient cause for abandoning situation in
which his faculties may be exerted to the high
advantage of the Republic
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-09-14
THE LETTERS OF RESIGNATION.

We have copied from the Integencer the
letters of Messrs Criuenden and Ewing. That
Of the former is in good taste, and characteristic
of heightened and honorable gentleman. The
letter of Mr.. Ewing is of very different order /;
being a second edition of Capt. Bolts.
Mr. Ewing, in our opinion, has, for himself,
committed at least two fatal errors. First, by
resgning his office and second, by writing and
publishing an attack upon the President divulg-
ing the confidential counsels of the Cabinet
The first evinces lack Of judgment and good
sense, and the second a miscenception of or
want of those honorable principles which ought
to characterize the conduct of gentlemen in such
not yet seen, nor do we believe there exists any
sufficient reason for the resignation Of any mem
Der of the Cabinet. The conduct of the retiring
members seems to US TO be based upon errone-
Gus views Of their official characters and rela-
tons From the tenor of Mr. Ewing's letter,
one would think that they withdrew because
they could not control the President, or because
the President had not in one thing acted in
manner agreeable to them. Such view places
them wholly in the wrong. They had no right
to suppose that the President should consult
them as to the propriety Of his own conduct,
any farther than he chose. And therefore it. is
perfectly ridiculous and absurd for Mr. Ewing
to affect TO be personally insulted because the
President did not show him his Veto Message
It's great pity that Mr.. Ewing had not studied
and better understoodhis own official rights and
duties, as well as those of the President.
The PRONUNCIATION in the public press of Cabi-
net secrets, by retiring Secretary, is uniusti6-
able and all but unprecedented. He who does it,
proves by the act that he was unworthy to sit
at the Cabinet board. Ii is of itself sufficient to
throw the whole statement into dscredit 1t is
an unfair advantage taken of the President !;
which cannot but involve its author in no small
share of disgrace. We know not the merits of
the opposite side, and the public cannot know
them, for the reason that the President of the
nation cannot condescend TO enter the lists Of
personal controversy with an individual lnstru-
ment Of faction. Mr.. Ewing knew this. He
seems to have kept daily record of his CONVEX
satons, perhaps anticipating, if not premeditat-
ing, their possible use for himself or some favor
tie in an electioncering campaign, for which,
unfortunately, too many persons seem to have
been preparing.
There is but one example, that we know Of
in the history of the Government, of retiring
Secretary, who has undertaken to assail and
reve the President by means of the publication
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-09-14
THE BLOODY SHOWER.

DR.. Troost has given soPhomorca and unsatis-
factory account of this phenomenon in the Nashville
Banner MIR IIallowcll attributes il to peculiar
species of butterfly undergoing change This is
natural and PLAUSIBLE. DR. Troost however, thought
of every thing but insects and to the following
conclusion
II to that the fall of the substance collect
cd at Lebanon is easily explained. We acquaint-
ed, from experience, with the effects and power of
wind. Our forests exhibit every where the devasta-
tons of the winds, called hurricanes. The dcstruc-
ton OF the town of Charlotte, in ncighboring coun-
ty is still fresh IN memories. Aulcles taken up
by the wind IN that town were transported 10 and 20
miles. There other winds called whirwlnds,
which have the power of raising up materials into the
air and transporting them 10 great distances Such
wind may have taken up part of an animal, which
was In state of decomposition, and have brought il
il contact with electric cloud, in which it kept
in state approaching 10 partial huldy or vlscosity.
In this case the cloud which was seen by the negroes
as well the state in which the materials WERE is
counted for.
ut is said in Kirby and Spence's Natural History,
that many species of Lepdoptera (butleraies) when
they emerge from the chrysals state discharge red
dish fluid, resembling when the number of the insects
is considerable, drops of blood.
