ready breathing an unaffected curse to the memory
Of the departed This day terminates the fiscal year
and the question universally asked in our streets, l.
WHO goes out to day Has the political guillo,ine
been busy at work ?" Heretofore, the last day OF
the month when every clerk in the several Depart
mcnt. receives his monthly pay, has been looked
for with eagerncss and welcomed with sincerity
But now that il has become the day of execution,
gloomy iorebodines ibicken 1t apprOaches.-
Every man is trembling for his Office and il is be
ieycd that a number Will be turned out before The
sun sets. While am writing. there is an awful
pause. No one has yet been paid and The greatest
secrecy is observed to the intentions Of the Dispo
scrs Of Offices Mr. Hagner, the second Auditor l.
marked for removal His case, however. will moi
excite much sympathy. Only celebrated for the
obstacles he has uniformly thrown in the way OF The
Inst and suffering complainant, he has retained
his office during the greater portion OF his lie.
has saved considerable money, and placed all j.
SONS in lucrative Offices under the government. q.
to Mr. ploa-anou, the fifth Auditor the reports when
were some time since in circulation to his removal,
have died away for the present But do not regard
him "a. any the secure, because he has the pro
mise of some of the highest functonaries that he
vii. not be- removed They have the faculty with
which Shakespeare invests Richard, and
"Can smile and smile
And murder while they smile.
Should hear Of any removals up to the closing
of the mail will communicate them.
Tomorrow. the reduction of Postage will com
rnencc with the beginning Of the new fiscal year II
was posiponed until this period, IN order 10 avoid
the difficulty inseparable in the adjustment OF the
accounts of the Posimasters, from change before
the termination OF the year. The SPECIAL Agencies
Of the Department are all abolished from to-day.
The trial OF McNuty the late Clerk OF the House
of Representatives. is set down for Monday next
July It'll Mr. Fendalls term of Office as T. ). At
torney for this District, will expire about this time
and il il generally understood that he will not be
reappoinied 1t is presumed however, that tenn
porary commission will be made out for him, IN or
der to enable him TO prosecute McNuliys case IN hls
official capacity Mr. Hoban, lawyer OF inconsi-
dcrablc reputation. who it is supposed willrecevc
the appointment OF District Attorney, Is the counsel
of McNultv and could not therefore carry on the
prosecution There are other criminal cases, also,
In which HOban is engaged for the defence and
which. of course ought to be disposed Of before he
enters on the duties of an Office, which II Is now,
for the first time discovered may be filled without
any legal requirements. There is another view IN
which this appointment, very naturally surprises
the citizens of this District. 1t is known that io-
ban was some few years a violent Wing toastlng
Mr. Clay and claiming prominence in his friends
AT our bar there were at that time three l.ocoocos
one of these was soon afterwards made Judge OF
of our Criminal Court-anoher seeded from the
partv and the most able and efficient of the three,
Mr.. Frank Key. is dead. About this period Mr. lio-
ban changed his course and became a noisy Loco.
and ever since has been an asprant after the Dis
trict Attorney ship. Mr.. Key left son, who Is
member of the bar consistent Locoioco. man OF
uninpcachable honor, integrity and ability. He Is
Il, fl,ic Office and a
better claim on the gratitude OF his party than Mr.
lIoban.
All the appointments for Consuatcs are made di-
rectly bv Mr. Polk without any consultation with
Mr. Buchanan. 1t has, heretofore. indeed, been the
practice founded proper consideration of official
courtesy, take the opinions Of the Secretaries
State, in filling Consular Offices Is il from want
of confidence in Mr.. Buchanan tina, the proscn, Ex-
ecu,ivc has changed this usual course treating his
Secretary of State with this marked disrespect =
Or is there something more significant in the fact =
Is the occultaiiOn of the star Of Mr. Buchanan

fortunate star between ii and the sun | do not
know that the present Secretary of State is entitled
to any unwonicd share of official consideration but
he ought, surely. to receive much as usage has a.
