REMOVALS FROM OFFICE.

There are some individuals who, for Pur-
poses which doubtless TO them seem honest and
praseworthy, are still endeavouring to give the
impression that the President intends to remove
every person from office who happened TO have
been appointed under the last administration, and
that, too, simply and solely because they were
so appointed, without reference to their qualif-
cations or disqualifcations. We desire TO say,
once for all, that such proposition has never
been brought before the Cabinet; such an idea
has never been discussed in the Cabinet council,
nor has it ever been entertained for single mo-
ment by the President himself We hope this
will be sufficient, and that we shall not have
occasion TO refer to the subject again. That
improper appointments were made during the
last administration, that the generosity of the
late President was sometimes imposed upon, we
are among the last to deny; those incumbents
who are unworthy or disqualified, will doubtless
have leave to retire, as it is perfectly right they
SHOULDN'T not because they happen TO have
been the appointees of ex-President Tyler.

REGARD TO LAW.

HEGAnO IL LAW
As the friends of education we happy to per
ceiye that the Corporation have made provision Tor
the erection and endowment Of another public school;
that the is to be placed IN poPuious portion oil
the city and that good selection OF teacher Tor
the school has also been made. The power oil the
late Executive was benefcently exercised when
granting the use of the northwest portion Of the Ju-
dietary square for so good an object; and it is hoped
that, the ground is low where the school is TO be
located, the earth that has been improperly placed
about The centre Of the square, whether with or with
out the permission of any corporation oicer, VIII De
removed where il is wanted. Placed where il is, It
would seem to be the first step, or rather the second
step towards another niracton of the plan OF the city
as laid down in the public archives, and In an en-
graved plan Of the city published by one of the first
surveyors of the Metropolis The object would seem
to be again to divide the Judiciary square so as to
continue street through the public ground to the
somewhat noted ~ English Hill" and IFS exhausted
clay banks, thereby subjecting the United States,
some day, to the expense Of laying pavement and
gutter and fixing curb, after giving away, by the
first section Of the act of 29th August 1872 for an
Insane Hospital" :" one haif of the ground occupied
by the old and new jails !"
Could the Corporation succeed in thus forcing
street through the Judiciary square, in violation of
the rights of the public in the Insane Hospital
(now inscribed City Hospital" upon the pedlment
of the buildng,) and Congress should ultimately pre-
sent to the city the jail house Of refuge for
misguided youth OF both sexes, the fact of street
passing along beneath its windows, where pedestr-
might be nsuted by obscene language, would ex-
ert anything but beneficial influence on the public.
The people Of this city cannot watch too closely
every nfraction of the laws, for there
contractors and spectators actively at work to
their own selfish ends. Whenever we find the bene-
hcent intentions of Congress disregarded, we shall
without hesitation battle for the rights of the public
