but for the above plea of axity OF discipline, could
not have hoped tor the situation. Sing Sing sings
with indignation, and White Plains, and, indeed
the whole county, far heard from, is in fer.
ment at this appointment. A bee hive or hornets
nest disturbed is the excess OF quietude compared
with the commotion in this village. Besides, the
general dissatisfaction of the orderly and dis.
interested portion OF the Ocofoco party, the disap-
pointed ones (and their number is egion) keep the
place IN continued uproar The wings are in
even talk OF starting ticket for the election of char
ter officers next week. An Indignation meeting is
talked OF and the "remonstrants," composed of
the most influential of both parties, quietly at

however, that before his arrival those anory passions

hear of no serious objection to the new agent ap-
pointed. HIS appointment was equally unexpected
with that of the principal keeper; but the nhabi.
tants not being acquainted with any previous ma
nagenent OF his in prison affairs, can find nothing Of
the Legislature, by which only he is known to the
people, they anticipate to find in him faithful and
efficient officer. The only objection against this
appointment seems to be that he is from abroad;
and even this would cease, hid the keeper been
taken from this county.

again pronounce Hoffman to be more indomtable
" Barnburner" or :" Pigringer" than even Hunter
himself, and that Edmonds has sold himself 10 the
Hunter and Ruger party having also a side glance
to the District Attorneyshp in your city, where that
interest Is in the ascendant The great wonder is,
not whether the old Dutchman at the helm OF State
has been fooled, but whether Hunter and Fdmonds
have fooled him, or whether he has fooled himself.
Many who have great respect tor the Governor,
think he was deceived in the political character Of
Edmonds, and taking his zeal mani esed last fall in
Tammany Hall as an earnest OF his swimming and
sinking with him in the same conservative capse,
appointed him Inspector, both to reward his ZEAL
and by giving him two tools the board TO control
it and give the patronage of the prison in way TO
crush Hunter and prepare open way for his man
Holmes to become Hunters ilustrious SUCCESSOR
Others again, knowing Hunter to be powerful an
tagonlst have attributed to Bouck the sagacity to
discern that he can be cancelled from the list only
according to the rule of political affected quadra-
tic equations and has undertaken to kill of one of
his enemies by setting another OF them in a fighting
position against him, as a rivain the county known
to be composed almost TO a man Of barnburners
