H. Morris, or Robert II. Morris and Cave John
SON 7 Our patience, as well as that of the whole
country, is exhausted with their management of
the affairs of their respective Offices. We have il;
E~ska, as some would say.
In regard to Cave, let Congress, the first hour
after 1t meets give him leave retire to his farm,
and in consideration his valuable services, be-
stow small pension on him, say $500 He is
remarkably economical, and can make fifty-one
and seventh-eighths cents out Of half a dollar
Five hundred dollars would support him in
splerdor Give it to him by all means, and let
him turn his attention and business habits to
raising cucumbers, and the carrying of oysters on
the mail route to Cincinnati
As for Morris, he is not so easily disposed of; he.
holds on to his office as hard an office holder
can to an office. But we think that we can accom-
modate him too. Give him the governorship of
Coney Island. We promise to exert all our in
tuence with the present governor OF that mighty
principally, Gil Davis, and do all we can to in.
duce him to resign in his favor. Besides manag-
ing his state affairs and regulating the clam
banks, our postmaster wonld have abundance of
time TO look after other nick knacks and perqui-
sites, that might amount to three dollars per day
without trip to Albany.
We charge nothing for these suggestions. If
Congress carry them out they will cancel all obi
cations they are under to us for giving them.
NEW STEAMBOAT ARRANGEMENT We congratu-
late our friends at the East, that they to have
two OF the best steamboats, that ever navgated
Long Island Sound, 10 run between this city aud
Stonngton during the present winter.
They are the Governor, Capt. Seth Thayer, and
the Massachusetts, Captain w. H. Potter. Both
these gentlemen have spent their whole lives upon
the Sound, and understand fully its dangers, and
how avoided, under whose care passengers may
place themselves with perfect safety. For this
arrangement, the public are indebted to the en-
terprise and lberaty OF Mr.. George Law, who
first placed the splendid steamers Oregon and
Knickerbocker upon the Stoning'on line, which
caused other boats, equally as good, to be built
and placed upon other routes. Till then the
comforts and conveniences of our Hudson steam
ers were not enjoyed by our eastern friends.
These beats form the regular mail limo between
this city and Boston, via Stonington and Provi-
dencc Railroads, and will undoubtedly perform
their trips with great regularity. The Governor

dimensions, in that, or any other capacity on

The MAGNETIC TELEaRAPH-STNGULAR Com
cIDENcE.-We publish in another column letter
from Amos Kendall to the Union, on the subject of
the Magnetic Telegraph.
There is a remarkable coincidence apparent
between the views he expresses and those publish
ed in the Herald, on the same subject, from time
to time. There is another remarkable coincidence
about it, and that u.s. that his vie VS. are expressed
in almost identicaly the same words as those used
by us.
How curious!
We would suggest to Mr.. Kendall the propriety
of using the Herald for the future as the medium
of communicating his views to the public.
