TIE LoAyEs AND FlsuEs. That numbers
are on the look out for their dstributive share
of the loaves and fishes, and that the governor
Of the State will not be- able TO supply all
mouths without the aid of u miracle, we think
beyond doubt. We believe that on this subject
His Excelloncy las kept still tongue, and
perhaps has given the matter little ConsIdcra-
ton. But if he has not yet moved in respect
to appointments, we find that the most impor
tant of them have been made for him by the
Baltimore correspondent of the New York
Herald; and, as a matter Of curiosity, we an
mex his list, with remarks We suspect that
some of appointees will think that he has pla-
sed "thcn in the wrong pew" Our friend, the
Register Of Wills, will be surprised to find him
self metamorphosed into second Falstaii,-a
real 'Fat Boy" 1.-THE extract VIC give should
fail to enlighton, it may at least amuse. The
letter is dated Baltimore, Jan. 4, and it is evil
dent that it is written by stranger 10 our city,
who is ignorant of the persons of whom he
speaks, and of the Constitution of our State:
aThe new Governor is to be inaugurated on
Monday next. He will make u good Chief
Magistrate, though he is soreIy run down by
Office seekers, most of whom stand about as
much chance for appointment as Capt Tyler
does for reelection to the Presidency in lS4S.
Judicious appointments will be made, am
sure, and a general removal Of all the cold
Hunkersn Will take place. The latest Offices
in this State are the Clerks OF the Courts
and the Registers of the Counties, and yet one
of these lave been held in the same families
since the formation of the State government
Under the new constitution, all these are to 90
out An effort will be made, SIN course" by
some of those who hold the Elttest places, to
keep in, but i. will be all in pain-or if the
new Governor should commit the great mis-
take of re-appointmg them, the wing party
would be swept from power in the State forev-
er, at the very next election.
The unpopulartyo of these real cold Hunk
ers," is unbounded, In this city we have three
of these officers, all Of which will be changed.
Ii is understood that the following persons will
get the places:-Clerk Of the City Court, VIM.
II. Gatchell-oilice worth 10000 year.
Clerk of the County Court, Judge James Har-
wood-ofiice worth $4,000 a year Register
of Wills, Colonel Isaac Munroe, of the Balti-
more Patriot-office worth $4,000 to Sl2, 900
a year, according TO the number Of deaths. The
present incumbent has amassed an immense
fortune in it and desires to leave it-strangc
this! But the office has been held by him TWEEN
ty-fve years, and by his father before him ever
since the State Government was formed. They
both grew bulky and fat upon it, and the in
cumbent, by reason of his immense flesh, has DIFF
ficultyVn getting up Tie long range of stone steps
to the office. This may account for his want
ing to get clear of it. He signs for his ''otium
cum digaitate" All these are good appoint
ments, and will be acceptable to the people,
though the selection of the Editor of the Patri-
OF looks like an attempt to bride the Press
Judge Harwood and Colonel Munroe were both
prominent candidates for the gubernatorial no
mination, and some persons suspect that the
appointment OF UOLn Oh L0efl 10 OlllCe now, Is
intended to take them out of the field for the
nomination at the next election. Mr.. Catch
ell lhamcd Mr. Pratt, the Governor elect, Sc
cured his nomination by the wing convention,
and nobly carried him through. He is one Of
the cleverest fellows in the world, and here
name him as the next wing candidate for Gov
ernor of Maryland against the field.
z. S. have seen gentleman who has just
left the Governor elect. The following addi-
tional appointments are certain:
Colonization agent-Col. VIM. r. Stewart,
an cold bunker, ''-Ofice worth 'pckngs."
Orphans Court--B. B. Hodges, David Evans,
VIM. Ward.
Lottery COMMISSIONERS. G. Leakin, and
Jacob Small, both ExMayors, and both "Old
Hunkers"
lnsolvent Commssioners-Nel Poe, Alb.
ner Neal. Jas. Hance.
Warden Of the Jail-Hugh w. Evans-an
cold Hunker.'
