pal Goyersment or Corporation Reform to Jn''ii!
TIN. appointment. In the first place. Mr. hing J.
not Printer In any sense, and hired outright M
priu,inr even OF his own newspaper till alter lc
h.d published it many years. Tie has never owned
a General Printing Office nor done any work but
his own in hi. life. and must now either purchase
material, on purpose to do this Corporation work
or "a. i. more likely su5-et il to some Printer
for part Of ,ae pay. the nominal Printer recely-
ing money from the Treasury for doing nothing.
To all this sort Of iobbng are most nyeierate-
y opposed.
In the second place, there j. no more need OF
\ Printer to the Board of Aldermen than OF City
Street sweeper to be elected ard compensated a.
public functionary. II one were needed. the
proper way would be- to select some capable and
ernincn, Job or General Printer. ard make con-
,rac, with Kim to do the work on favorable terms.
no can say that Mr.. Hing j.. appointed on ac-
count either of the excellence or the cheapnc-s OF
nj, work Yet these are manifestly the grounds
on which the appointment should be made
But we contend that the true way would be 70
employ some good practical printer to make out
a form for proposals. and then advertise the work
a. op N to the best bidder. There would be- no
difficulty in getting it well done and much cheaper
in this way which would give all inst want 1t a
air chance. and coald not reasonably dis.alisiy
any. The Wings IN our Councils are in honor
committed to carry this principle OF tar compe
ulon, no Iobbng, no fayoriti,m, as far Is 1t wi!
% and it can iust a. well be applied 10 Printing
a- to sweeping Thus believing, We have posi-
lively refused the kind offers oi our friends To
support u. for this or any such place.
Bur cyery one understands that this Printing y
given 10 Mr. King because .e Is the Editor OF the
American. II j, against the dangerous and most
oerniciou. principlc involved in this that we pro
lot. |, :. the deform-d and hidcou- first born Of
Jacksoni.m on rather Van Burenism. Mr.. hing
edits an able and wholesome public Journal ana
if our new Wing officer, can fairly and with due
regard to the public interest extend any patronage
to that paper, il il but right to do 50. But JOB
Printing i. entirely out OF his line and there Is no
more fitness in giving him this than Paul Circuit :
job Of pp"-cartng.
We have spoken frankly on this matter, be-
cause plain talk among friends Is the right thing
Most certainly. our remarks are dictated by no
unkind feeling toward Mr.. King. We know and
esteem him a. "a most honorable gentleman and
able Editor: We loathe the L0co-t oco slang
which couples his name with Darmoor FEEDER
alism.' SC and if we had been permitted to deslg-
nate the Editor connected with the Political Press
Of Ncw-York to whom this job should be given, we

olutcly opposed, now and for ever.
RHODE IsIASD.-Thc Providence Journal oi
Monday saws: The General Assembly will meet
Mt Newport three weeks from this day. From the
disposition of both Houses. we entertain no doubt
that if things remain quiet, the General Assembly

frame written Constitution for the State and
that the basis Of the suffrage, in voting for dele
gates 10 such Convention will be enlarged to the
limits proposed in Mr.. Jackson's bi offered at

" The Ncir Era ofyesterday is awfully glum
on the subject OF the Maniamus. 1t puts in tho
Decision and the Mayors manifesto, but says
never a word for Itself on the matter. But. a.
it canno, very well abuse the Supreme Court, 1t
publishes letter from Gov. Dorr. calling on the
State OF Maine to come to his aid against Gov
King and the Federal Government. ard then whales
away at all manner Of British and American Wings
and Tories with savage desperation, reitera'ing ut
