CORRUPTION IN OFFICE"

Under the above caption, the Baltimore Clipper,
a high-minded neutral paper, copies the charge of
the Washington correspondent of the New York
Express against the Postmaster General for d.
rectiDg the Madisonian newspaper to be paid IS
per cent. above advertising prices, for publishing
sundry editorials, written at the Post Office De-
partment, in defence Of Mr.. Wickliffe and COM
ments thereon as follows:
"This is the substance Of the charge, which is
certainly grave one, if true. We can not be-
eve it, because it would be dishonest appca.
ton of the public funds to appropriate them as
designated-and for which Mr.. Wckliffe would
deserve, if guilty, not only to be removed from
his situation, but punished for fraud. Whatever
we may think of his management of the post
office department, we are unwilling to admit any
thing derogatory to his moral character, unless
the charge be accompanied by the proof He,
like most men in power may feel disposed to
favor partisan friends and this he might do with
out subjecting himself to particular censure-but
this is quite different thing to using the public
funds to compensate them for personal services
not connected with the public interests"
We have taken the trouble to ascertain the
facts in this case, and, hard as it may be for Mr..
Wckliffe, we assure our respectable Baltimore
contemporary that The charge as true to the letter

we see it stated that the Hon. j. c. Afford. of this
place, has changed his political course, and is now
