A Case of Erecutire haterposition in a. Sinai
Wdy.-Mr. Wilson, late chief Of the police at the
Capitol, and good Presbyterian, and, having
moreover, rendered general satisfaction in his Office
for twelve or fourteen years, was a few days ago
displaced, and Mr.. Z. w. Huntington, gentle
man and scholar, and printer, late OF the Globe
office, was put in his berth-salary $1,000 per an
num-. Mr. Wilson stands accused of having exer-
cised undue influence over the Senate in the re-
lection Of Mr.. Beaumont, who was appointed by the
President Commissioner Of Public Buildings, but
rejected by the Senate. Mr.. Wilson is charged with
having required of Mr. Beaumont on his appoint
ment, pledge that he, Mr. W., as one Of the sub
ordinates of the Commissioner, should not be dis
missed in any changes that might be made. This
pledge M. b. refused to give, and Mr.. w. conclud-
ing thereflom that he was unsafe so long as such
pledge refused in order to save himself employ
ed all his energies with the Senators against Mr. b.;
the result of which the decided rejection of Mr.
b. Chagrined beyond reparation, Mr.. b., it is
said, told the story to the -whereupon the
President of the United States requested Mr.. Doug
lass, the new Commissioner, to expe the chief
Waterman, Mr.. Wilson, and to appoint Mr. Dun.
nngton in his place which of course was DONE
This is specimen of the manner in which Mr..
Polk executes the high Office, entrusted in an evil
hour to his hands by confding but deceived con-
stituency It is gratifying however to reflect that
the citizen is not forever subject to the caprcious
tyranny of such man. The people of 1913 will
expel him and his myrmidons from power, with
voice that will haunt them to their graves!

from occasional nausea, dull headache extreme ner-

On the LIST of April the murder of "A Mexi
cans were reported to General Taylor at Mon
terey. The murder was committed by party
Of 90 Americans in the night. The murdered
were made prisoners and then shot through
the head. Suspicion attaches itself to the corps
of Texas Rangers, which was at Marin on the
night Of The murders, near where they took
place. General Taylor has avowed his deter.
mination to hang the murderers if he can catch
them. t
The barbarity of the soldiers under Urea
who massacred the wagoners on the 22nd Of
February, has excited great horror in the
breasts of the Americans. II is supposed the
murders above referred to were in retaliation
The hearts and eyes of the poor wagonsrs
were dug out by the brutal ancers.
Urea was believed to be at Linares with 4
pieces of artillery.
Thirteen regiments Of General Taylor's col
