and unblemished integrity public officer while
Mr. Miller takes his place with very unanimous feel
ing of disapprobaton of the people Of this city, and
in defiance of hundreds and hundreds of the people,
whose humble petitions forwarded to the acting
President. At this day, neither mcdesty, propriety,
nor public feeling seem 10 have any influence upon our
RULERS at Washington. The ballot boxes alone
will bring them to their senses. The Wings formerly
complained that General Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren,
would listen to their rnernieS--they may well COM
plain of the present powers that they Will not even
listen TO their friends Columbus Statesman.
" Acting President Tyler, is rcaping no lanrcls by
his appointments TO office. There is deep, hollow
murmuring that will burst his head shortly if he
does not improve, that will look worse on paper than
the Reynoldsburg Post Office affair, in which Tom Ew-
ing cuts such sorry figure Never since the iorma'
ton Of this Government, has popular opinion been So
utterly set at Defiance in many of the late removals

rom The ST. Louis Republican of the LIST inst that the
perpetrators Of the horrible atrocities in that city, on
the night of the 18th ult involving burglary, murder
and arson are believed 10 have been discovered. A
negro man named Ennis, has given Information which
he appears to have obtained without having participated
the crimes Of the real actors, who arc stated to have
been slave named Madison, belonging to gentleman
Of New Orleans, and three dark mulattoes, named
Brown, James Seward and Warrck, barber; the FIRST
lately from Cincinnati and the second formerly Of New
York, but last from New Albany, Ia Warrick had been
for some time an inhabitant Of st. Louis. According
10 the information of Ennis who is in custody and who
alleges have obtained his information from the slave
Madison at their negro boarding house on the night OF
the l7h after the deed done, did not appear that
the scheme had been long concoced, or that their plan
Of operations was we'll matured.
1t appears that these four desperadoes went on the
night in question: TO the counting of Mr. Pettus
and finding the door unlocked, the entered, and found
MIR. Baker therein seated, with his boots off, reading
a paper. Him they quickly despatched, and lying in
wait for the arrival of Mr. Weaver, the other clerk
they killed him also Immediately on his entrance into
the building. This bloody work accomplished, they
then made effort to open the vault; and being nm
successful in this they set fire TO the building in five
several places, and left it, Such is the substance o.
Ennis statement as received from the slave Madison
The persons implicated have left st. Louis but Off
GERS have been despatched in all directions TO over
take and secure them, and the hope IS that they will
be npprchended and be made 10 answer TO the law fol
these horrible atrocities charged against them.

NEPorrsM.-The Church throughout all time has
been accused by having the children and relations Of
the great pensioned on her income So great was
the evil arising from this curse, that it obtained the
significant name of Nepotism. Our country is becom
ing subject to this same deadly and degrading curse.
WEBSTER appoints his son chief Clerk in the State
Department or as the Court Journals style it, Under
Secretary of State. WEBSTER appoints his brother
in-law, Israel w. Kelley, Marshal of New Hamp-
shire, and JOHN TYLER appoints a connection of his
family miller, Editor of The Ohio Confederate y to
be Postmaster at Columbus, Ohio. .Nepotism cursed
and degraded the Church, and there is nobody good
enough, or plant enough TO the purposes of Fe
deralism, but Badgers, Ritners, Kellys or Mllers-

The appointment Of of the Diapers, at Paris as

that the pretentons of such General Fenwick,
Mr. Walsh and MIR. Brent, and Gen. Harrison resolu-
ton boot should all be made to give way to Mr. Web
sters predictions for the Diapers The facts given in
the money article of the New York Evening Post is
full of explanation this subject. 1t appears that the
Diapers helped Mr. Webster TO q considerable share of
the outfit which enabled him pay his respects in per-
son 10 the money power in London, and lis avals

from all but some two or three counties The Demo-
cratic majority the popular vote will be even larger
than we have before stated-it is likely 20 exceed
5000. while last fall Mr.. Van Buren, had but little
over 1900. This is most glorious result, such
we expected from the "Old Dominion Indeed how
could she have done otherwise Could the State
which has been every vicssltude OF the Demo
cratic cause now desert it for letter reason than
that one of her sons led the phaanx of its oess No
