The election of Mr. French to the Clerkship of the
House has given unbounded satisfaction all parties
He has been Clerk in all but emoumen,s for time,
and he sin iiary adapted for the important position
which he holds. He is native OF New Hampshire bot
for near twelve years has resided in Washington where
he has had clerkship in connection with the House OF
Representatives, Mr.. French has much poetic ability,
but unlike poets in general, his business habits and
/ qualifications not thereby impaired.
Mr. French has appointed FIR Gould his successor as
principal clerk. Mr.. Gould is native of the State of
New York, and gentleman OF long experience IN the
Office which he has held cIershp for several years
His geniIemany and his character
and standing high and unmpeachabe, his business habits
and eapacIiy all that could be desired Mr. Kershaw,
Mr.. MuNuIty's pay clerk, promptly removed on
Saturday evening.
The Washington correspondent of the Ohio States
man, writes follows:
"Tbe solemn verdict of Justice has been rendered
in and the Clerk of the House is expelled from his
ofhce-expelled by the voice of bis friends well as
his enemies-expelled In the prime of his manhood,
and with the promise of honor, advancement and
distinction before him, which but few young have
the advantage to receive-expeled not only from his
Office, but from all the hopes which had clustered
about him in his promotion to it. IL is unnecessary
TO say how deeply we feel for the offensive conduct
and condgn punishment of the rejected Clerk, indie
of all or Ne
feel for him; as man may feel for friend who has
repaid kindness with ngraude honor with reproach,
confidence with treachery, promotion with contempt,
and respect with disgrace"
The Editor of the Ohio Statesman observes:
"Nothng could have met the Democrats of this
f District with astonishment and modification,
than the developments In the of Mr.. McNulty,
{ Clerk of the House of Representatives. He had
friends here wIo would have put every thing they
have in the world at stake that he incapable of
the acts of which he now stands charged; but while
they would stick by friend to the last moment of
their existence if they believed him innocent they
will not, like Wings, bolster up men after they are
covered with the sores of moral delnquencies. And
while they would drop tear the misforunes of
one whom they had admired, they would not step in
between his guilt and the demands of justice, when
proven against him. Although they feel and
feel sensibly, the awful sentence of condemnation
against whose high prospects knew stopping
place, and whose social qualities acknowledged
by friend and foe, yet, they would not mitigate the
demands of the law, sife the just feeling of the
public in the strongest condemnation Our cores
pondent gives full account of this most unfortunate
matter"
The Statesman further says-that Mr. Noodle, of
columbus, simply purchased cashed drafts of Mr..
McNulty. Also, that DIR. Woodward, of Mt. Vernon,
is the same person the Wings for the Legislature
in Knox, year two ago, 10 break down the Demo-
cratic nomination. He lead the Bank forces and was
good enough Wing until after that election. 1t is
well enough to keep history corrected!
