HENRY y. TALLmADGE.
On announcing the appointment Of this
gentleman to be Marshal Of the United
States for the District Of New York, we
remarked, that he "enjoyed high reputa-
" ton for business talents Of the first ORDER"
and we expressed the belief, that his Sc
lection would meet with the general APP
probation Of the District.n II is with no
little pleasure, that we find our opinion am
ply sustained by the testimonials in his be-
half, laid before the Government. They
accord to him the possession Of unimpeacha-
BILE character and standing, answering in
tegrity, thorough business habits, and emf
nent ability to discharge the duties Of any
public trust, which might be assigned him,
with credit to himself and honor to his coun-
try. He was recommended for the Mar
shalship by gentlemen in the city Of New
York, distinguished for their high personal
worth, having substantial interests in the
community, and representing at least twelve
millions worth Of property These men
desire pure and prompt administration Of
the law, and, we are sure, they would not
recommend any citizen for so responsible a
position as that Of Marshal, unless they knew
him to be fitted for the post. A large por-
ton of the Common Council of New York
city, united in asking the office for Mr..
TALLMADGE. In addition to these testimo-
mails, he was supported by Judge BETTs,
of the United States District Court, by
several distinguished members Of Congress,
and by the Hon. JAMES Brooks, the Hon.
GEoRGE BRIecs, the Hon. WALTER I'M
DERHILL, the Hon. JOHN A. KING, the
Hon. d. A. BoKEE, and the Hon. Will
LIAM NELSON, all Of whom are members
elect from the city and the Southern District
Of New York. We give place to few
letters, going to show the high degree Of
estimation enjoyed by Mr.. TALLMADaE in
the community Of which he is a citizen and
wherein he will be called on to execute the
duties Of his arduous Office.
