Mr.. EpIroR Hawkeye has seen the anticipated re-
suit of the Tyson meeting. Poor Fitnam has been
removed by Postmaster Montgomery from his humble
place of Carrier in the p. o." and the motive OF
the removal is well understood here. Fitnam's Of
fence was an anonymous call for meeting, and an
insulting refusal to confess that his object in the call
as treason-not to Mr.. Montgomery, but to MIR. Ty-
son. Mr.. Montgomery does not love Mr., Tyson
more perhaps, than he does Mr. Tyler. and was well
pleased enough, doubtless with Fitnam's defiance to
Tyson, provided il worked no injury to himself. lie
willing, forsooh, to reward Fitnam In any other
way than by openly retaining him in his place That
was not admissible, for it would have made him ac-
cessory after the fact at all events, to Fnams plot

Mr. Montgomery might have liked right well even
see the whole corps of Tyler men thrown into con-
fusion by division into factous cliques but he was
trembling in his shoes fer his own place, which he
loved more than he hated either President Tyler or
Mr. Tyson and he was polite in turning out an hum

INTRIGUES.

The complete demolition of Mr. CLAWS pros
poets, has again put all the machinery of party
intrigue in motion. The old National Repub-
lican party is again roaming in the field of spec
ulation. Its ultra leaders are again seeking to
effect alliances, for The sole purpose of crush
ing the President. They would even get
down on their knees to the President-ask his
pardon, and pledge him their supporl--if by do
ing so they could obtain an opportunity to be-
tray him. We learn that even some of the Off
GERS and hangerS-on Of the ultra Wing majority
in Congress, are getting "wondrous kind" since
the Ohio defeat AS for the ultra Wing editors
their offers of submission will soon be pouring
in every hour! Serpents knaves they have
nothing hut pollution in their atmosphere, and
death in their touch
Yet there are thousands and hundreds of
thousands Of those who acted with the Wing
party in 1910, that will honestly and heartily
join with the ''bone and snewn of the Repub-
iican party in determined and successful sup
port of President Tyler. But save US from the
ultras Of either party
The Intelgencer will soon "defne its posi-
tion," which will be the signal for the rest of the
Federal presses to abandon Mr.. Clay Who
will they ruin next? We will soon be able to
name him.

THE RECENT COURTS MARTIAL-FALSE
PUBLIC IMPRESSION

Various circumstances have combined of late to
bring the internal character and condition of the
Navy before the public eye, and none more so than
the recent General Courts Martial one sitting in
Baltimore and the other in New York, before which
so many officers have been arraigned, and by which,
several have been convicted and condemned. The
notorety given to the alleged and established offences
of these officers, has, by very sweeping and erro-
neous view produced impression unfavorable TO
naval character in general, and guided by this i'm
preston, every rumored indiscreton OF boy or man,
has been magni6ed and trumpeted forth as evidence
of its truth and justfying the conclusion, that
some suddenly developed corruptng influence has
come over the Navy. One cause OF this error lies
in the exaggerated manner in which public attention
has been called TO these courts by the places of their
session. and the circumstances attending them but
its chief source is oversight or ignorance of the
principal fact that the greatest offenders, and the
most aggravated and disgraceu of the crimes brought
before these courts form batch Of years accumula

viduas. But from some motives influencing those
who presided the destnics Of the Navy and had
its important interests in their keeping, the proper
means of investigation not awarded as the Of

arraignmeni has fallen upon the present presiding
officer and the entire disgracefu accumulation Of
past time, is at once thrown, en- masse, before the
startled public resulting in its unavorable judgment
upon the whole body. So far from being responsible
for the unworthy characters thus brought to judgment
in body the Navy has been the victim to the opinion
of those who refused earlier Investigations Of the al
le ged misconduct The error thus committed has
been strongly marked BY the fact, that some Of the

THE U. S. GAZETTE REBUKED.

We copy the following paragraphs from the
CHESTER (PA.) REPUBLICAN. Those precipi-
tate Wing journals that have put up the name
of Mr.. Clay for the Presidency, ''subject to the
decision of the ballotboxes" will surely see their
error:
The folly Of the Wings in nominating candidate
for the Presidency by Town and County meetings
State Conventions and Legislative caucuses not sub
ject to the decision of National Convention, is well
depicted in the following article from the Norristown
Fress, Wing paper.
We would respectfully ask, when did the Wings
succeed in eecting their candidate to the Presidency
before lS40i And why did they succeed' Because
the claims of the different candidates submitted
to the decision Of National Convention, and all
was ''union and harmony" in the Wing ranks. A
National Convention must again be held ifthe Wings

other politicians TO the contrary Notwithstanding
