JOHN TYLER, PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.

Z John Tyler, who, by n dispensaiiGn Of Provi-
ldence, has become the legitimate President! of the
IUniLed States, Is a native of the same county Of
s Hanover in Virginia, which gave birth to our late
4 lamcned Chief Magistrate, In his political faith
4and attachments he is democrat of the old JEFF
! ersOnan school, and was one Of the most efficient
Stsupporters of the last war in the lever House OF
8Congress. lie has long been the friend of Henry
EClay, and was at the iIarisburgh Convention, one
sof The last who consented TO the substitution ct
Eanothor candidate for the Presidency
q In the Senate of the United States, Mr. Tyler
Hmaintained a steady opposition to the measures OF
Ehe late administration, until, in conformity will
Ehe Virglnian doctrine of instruction, he resigned
Mhs seat. lie has, however, in his recorded
Mspccches, expressed himself opposed to the reclar
Etering of United States Bank, although 1t Is be
EIieved that his opinions have undergone some mod
sfication upon this subject within the last two o
Ethrco years. Certain it is, he is decidedly opposed
'to the Sub-Trcasury scheme and to the exercise o
hthe veto power by the President.
q From his personal appearance we should judg'
Ethat Mr. Tyler was about fifty years Of age, He i
etall and slim in hsfgure, and strCngl y reminds ont
Eoi the published likenesses Of Patrick Henry Iii
zhair j. still unsllvered, and his cOuntenanCe is in
Edicatve of manly lrankness, courtesy, and anna
Ebility of temper. His manners are cOurlly ant
Scordial, and his style Of reception singuarly gra
%cions and prcpossessinr His manners are COURT,
Eand cordial. and his STYLE of recep,on sncularI,
Euracous and prepossessng. In his dcmeanor a.
ANice President he has been remarkably modest anC
Eunohlrusve, indicating no disposition to interfere
Elm the distribution of offices, or to bias the judgmen
sof the Executive and his Cabinet. Indeed, he ha
Ebeen almost wholly overlooked by the managn
spoli)icions and leaders at Washington, inasmuch a
his position, apart from the unooked-lor contin
Egcncy which has now called him to the Whit
klIouse, was one of little more influence than tina
gof an ordinary Senator. Certain people will I'm
Ndouhtedly now be very active in attempts to max
Sup for their past nattention.
Fl Mr. Tyler is fluent and graceful speaker, ultho
i in personal intercourse he is by no means incline
kito be garrnlons. lie is unqueslonnbly man o
Sterling abilities and good sense, and will not b
Eblindcd and moulded by any man or set Of men

Irom their exalted stations the blow is more terri
4Lo in its power, mere universal in its elIens,

3ojest station known to the world. The death of
ia petty Prince, the King Of an ensuvGd and mana
sclod people, woaIdb be looked upon rs gala day and

edo that, than, we now ,mourn, that he has fallen SO

THE GLOBE AND IT'S PRESCRIBED "
FRIENDS

On Saturday the Globe published the name of
Michael w. Ash Navy Agent at Philadelphia, as
one fthe prescribed, removed" Now there are va
rious ways of " removing" and Of being removed"
First there is the being "iaken off," which leaves
deep damnation" Shakespeare hath it. Then
there is the taking off ones sefthe of being
moved with exceeding rapidity by ones own legs,
Nv in the case of Swarwout, and many other valued
and dear friends Of the Globe.
The removal of Mr.. Ash was not exactly Of this
latter Sort but he took himself out of the Office by
voluntary resignation the 9Th Of January last lea
wing due to the Government only the small Of
about 81 social of which has been since paid
slight balance of something IS 900. And this we
suppose will some day be paid up Mr. ASKS bonds
men, Mr.. Jeremiah Berrl and John Weaver must of
course be good, and presume Mr.. Ash to be AN ho
nest gentleman. But though this is not bad state of
accounts for loco in the public service these times,
it still would be matter Of convenience, we have
doubt TO the Government If these little odds and ends
were all picked up and handed over-they would come
in play in some way. BY the way will the Globe tell
how it is about the prescription" Of Gov. Find
lay late treasurer Of the Philadelphia Mint" Can
we help him to shed another tear upon that matter

These were events Of 1886. In 1889 the
Chief Engineer, in obedience to instructions
emanating from the proper authorities sent in
an estimate of $i,193,s72 for the repairs and
Improvements of forty three several fortif-
cations, specifying in detail the amounts to be
applied to each. This, we are given to under
stand, was the lowest estimate compatible, in
the judgment of the Engineer Department, with
any considerable advance of these works. The
Secretary of War; however, reduced this esti-
mate TO 100000, and the Committee Of WAYS
and Means in the House OF Representatives, to
S29O,OOO!
The following table, taken from correspon-
dence of the Engineer Department with the
Secretary Of War, 1910, is especially instructive
on the point, if we consider the circumstances
under which it was made. as explained in this
extract: Finding" says the Department, ''there
was no probability that the sums necessary in
the opinion ofthis Department, for the judicious
progress Of the works, would be allowed by Con-
gress, and fearing that the works might be left
acithou any means, the estimates were reduced
to the lopest amounts compatible with the pre-
serpdtion of the system Of operations, and NTH
any sensible progress" The amounts asked
and granted are as follows. -
