WARRINGTON, Dec. ~, 1875
The Secretary of the Treasury has taken leaf
out Of the Captains book, and is getting all his re-
lstlons and family connexions appointed TO the lat
test Offices IN the gift Of the PrescHt The coast
survey department y full OF beaches, il ought 10
be, and as IS every coast concern our sea-board
frontier, that there is hardly promontory or in
let from Plymouth rock to the Balize, at the mouth
Of the Mississippi, that has not a Bache belonging
to II, in one way another. To this system of me-
potsm Is to be added another Of the Bache family,
VIZ. WIN. Wilkins, of Pennsylvania, late Secre-
tary of War under John Tyler, who was nominated
this week, for the vacant Jadgeship upon the Su-
preme Court. This was, Of course, Mr. Walkers
doing, who is determined while the sun shines, to
make hay or Davy Crockett would say, s'fod-
DER" for his friends How Pennsylvania will stand
all this, he's yet to be seen ! do not think. how
ever, it is to the inter st Of any public functionary
to monopolize everything for himself and friends,
because of the place in the Presidents confidence
that he may hold for, sooner or later, the people
will see through these things, and remember them
too when the objects of their hate suppose they are
forgotten. 1t is thought that T. Harty Crawford,
late Commissioner OF Indian affairs, obtained his
appointment to the Judgeshlp of this district through
Mr.. Walkers influence, because of the friendly
Every, indeed) connexions that existed between
him and Judge Wilkins, while both were together
in the War Department. doubt, however, the
should be sent for this appointment, as it il
known to all here that while in the War Depart
ment, Mrs Caudle would have done just as mucl,
tor the public interest as "Granny Wilkins" A
funny anecdote Is related OF this old w oman which
shall here repeat for the amusement OF your read
ers. On the day that the officers OF the army wait
ed upon him. just after his induction into Office 10
pay their customary respects to the head Of the War
Department, he exclaimed to person present. after
the officers had retired, sob my friendo taking
him by the hand, '.did ever believe that should
have been PAID as much honor as this" This one
circumstance Is enough 10 show the mans calibre
for Judgeship
Mr. Mangum has taken to walking on sts, and
is determined TO overtop MIR. Bentons patriotism, If
he can. The Hon. Senator from North Carolina
said last night, at party, that If Old Bullion"
moves for the organization of 100000 men, he'll
be id if he don't go for 40O, 600" You will see
from this that the wing party are not to be caught
this time by the democrats, in the for populari
ty and patriotism. Their game is to 60 in for every
measure that may tend to exalt the democrats in
the eyes of the people. This is the secret of Mr.
Mangum's last move in the Senate upon the inquiry
country
The Irish branch of the democracy are in the
dumps with the administration. They swear by
Daniel O'Connell and the big hill of Houth, that
Jimmy Polk, they are not only being removed from
office every where throughout the country, but that
not one of them can find his way back again.
Whether this Is or not, among the petty places
in the Customs and Post Offices, IL is certain that
not of the foreign appointments has been given
to them, and this cannot be on account of lack of
ability, love OF the country of their adoption
Fair play is jewel, and ought to be extended to
/ them in proportion 10 their numbers and influence
as well to those of every other nation that have
become citizens. This would be practical democ-
racy, and not the theory OF it, ii carried out az it
ought to be.

The appointments from New York are not to be
sent into the Senate for confirmation until it is
known how that State will go the tariff ques-
