may set down the first part of this report as incor-

part falls to the ground.

The public here cannot be brought to believe th6
the original John Jones has vacated the editorial
chair OF John Jones redippmS otherwise called tho
court fool, alias United States Journal. INQUIRIES
are frequently and repeatedly made Of persons, who
are supposed to have some knowledge, whether
John has really vacated the chair or whether he
does not continue to edit it There is every ap-
pearance about this concern that it is its last
gasp, and that we shall soon be deprived of the

Our colleague informed you the other day of the
removal OF Mr. Sherwood, one of the messengers at
the Post Office Department, because he went home
to his dinner at noon, which, think, was not of
the way, when it is considered that the messengers
have to be there by O'Clock in the morning to open
the shutters, sweep out the rooms, DC. &c. There
seems to have been some Misunderstanding about
this matter, and am glad to be able to say that Mr.
Johnson, the Postmaster General, has ordered the
restoration OF the poor old fellow, who is very de-
serving, worthy man.
Mr.. Buchanan the Secretary of State Is one of those
members Of the Cabinet who profess to be the OPP
ponents OF the prescription account of the opinion
OF the clerks; and yet there is report in circulation
that Notwithstanding this, he is exercising his infiu
ence with the Inspectors of the Penitentary to re.
move their very worthy clerk, because he is said to
be wing, and appoint young man named Stubs,
who Is the son OF person OF that name IN the State
Department, who is in the receipt of al least 2l7OO or
$500 per annum from his office, and has been for
many years. II seems that Mr.. Subbs had employ
ed this son ef his in the State Department, and he,
although young man OF no superior talents had been
receiving salary exceeding that of old faithful and
confidential officers. MIR. Buchanan soon after his
assumption of his duties removed this young Stubs,
and now some little fuss having been made there
abouts, he seeks TO have Mr.. Wheatman, the clerk
OF the Inspectors of the Penitentiary, removed and
Mr.. Stubbs, jr, appointed in his place. This would
be very hard case, indeed, for am assured that
Mr. Wheatman is very faithful clerk, and more, he
is also an honest, upright man, as he has shown by
his conduct since he has held his present Office, for
having been previously compelled by misfortune TO
take the benefit of the nsovent act he has lived very
economically and has devoted every cent he ucould
save TO the payment of the debts from which he was
released, and these have amounted to upwards of
$1,000 II would not, therefore, rebound to Mr.. Blu
chanans credit TO have this man removed, and one
appointed who is the son of man already in office in
