HONORABLE TO THE WOMEN.

II has been the practice in the Post

deceased posimasters as their successors, in
the cases in which ii is agreeable 10 the
people. This practice has been in opera.
tion numbsr OF years, and the number of
females who have thus held Office is quite
large. During all this time there has not
occurred single instance of delalcalion
among them, So much for public testimony
and the same is almost as invariabe
rue in private life. Woman has more
rigid regard for the obligations and distinc
lions of meum and iuum than man. A
woman, with her friends loose money in
her work box, on her knee, and her own
in the sixth story, will rather go up and
get sixpeuse al the top Of the house, to
pay an errand boy, than touch what is no,
her own for an instant. A man, who shall

the sexes; and such is the way in which

ANOTHER COURT MARTIAL.

A General Naval Court Martial for the
trial of all offences ihs, may he brought
before il, was ordered 10 convene on board
the North Carolina on the lst Of February,
Com. Downes presides, and the numbers
are Com. Read, Captains Gwinn, bolton'
Skinner, Turner, Aulick apd Wyman,
Commanders MckeSn, Shuhrick, and
OGDEN, Samuel Rush, of Philadelphia,
and VIM. ii. Norris, Of Baltimore are
Judge Advocates The officers and alleged
mu,ineers of the Somcrs will be tried. The
charges against Commander Mackenzie are
for murder, oppression, and illegal punish
ment with variety or specifications.
Upon this subject The Madisonan corrects
several errors into which the press has
fallen In the frs, place the Court Martial
was no, called by the Presi4e lent wit out
waiting for the decision Of the Court OF
Inquiry, nor has he meddled with the
matter a; all j, having been lelt 10 the
Navy. He has followed his roctne duties
in the case, precisely as he would have
done in any other case. Court Martial
is necessary, under every possible view.
Ii Mackenzie be guilty, it is necessary III
order to Try bim; if he be innocent, it is
necessary in order 70 try the mu'ineers.
1t was not necessary, therefore, to postpone
it even ill the rising of the Court of 10
|'quiry The fact that il has been postponed
till several days after that event, is proof
enough that il is now called with view
to take the case from The civil authority.
We understand that the charges upon
which Commander Mackenzie will be tried
embrace three counts; the first murder, the
second, crnely and oppression. and third,
some minor matter. This, however. i. is
proper 10 state has no other foundation
than report, A third attempt. abor,ive like
the two preceding has been made TO gel
the case before the civil courts, by the con.

TyIerizing

IL was reported yesterday the streets that an
order came on the evening before from Washing
ton directing the removal otwo officers in the Gus
tom House herc-Gcorge II. Read and J. e.. Haly;
and the appointment oitwo other persons in their
stead: X. T.. Laughton and J. A. Harwood.
We believe there is no doubt about the fact.
When Captain Tyler was here, the threat
to remove was made. II was said then, that
all who held office under the Federal Govern
mcnt--who either voted for Bolts, or who did moi
wait upon the President, would he rcmoved-and
think il likely that NIcssrs Read and Haly were
guilty on both scores. There is no mistake about
their votc-and there il no mistake that every such
vote was threatened by the Capt. himself with the
sevcrcst penalties within the range of his lurisdc
ton.
Messrs. Read and HaIy-who have thus fallen
victims to Tylcrism are very cstmable men, and
have occupied their present positions for than
20 years-being appointed by the late Major Glib.
bons-and discharged their duties with great fide-
ty and assiduity. They stood unscathed during
all the lrightfuI days of Jacksonism. Numerous
efforts were made TO turn them out but they all
proved nsuccessliil--as their conduct had been
rreproachablc, that not prctcxt could be
found to Justify or excuse their removal. In fact,
Mr.. Read, the Chief Clerk, has been the all-im-
portant man in the Custom House, and has per-
formed a large majority of the most important du.
ties.
But they, who wthstood for so many years, by
an honest and dgcnt discharge of their duties,
the furious battering ram Of Jackson, and the far
reaching prescription Of Van Buren,, could oppose
no resistance to the attacks of the existing apology
for President. In his eyes, their very virtues
were crimes and their laudablc devotion to prin.
ciPlc in voting for Capt. Tycr's bed-fellow, Of.
fence Of deep dye, that nothing but their heads
could atone for il.
To say that the people Of Richmond are indg.
nant at this outrage, would be using term very
inappropriate To express their feelings. The time
has long passed when anything, that John Tyler
could do, could excite in their bosons an emotion
so honorable 10 him as that Of Indignation. Scorn
and contempt are the feelings that all entertain foi
him and nothing could excite in them any sur.
prise in regard TO him, save the fact that he had
committed an honorable and manly act. These
removals have only had the effect Of causing the
people to express their opinions--and far as we
have heard, there has been no exception to the
universal lOaihing and adherence with which the,
are regarded.

| ing respecting their qualifications tlteir politics
