The WAY PRESIDENT TAYLOR DOES
THIres.-The old hero President has,
thus far, fulfilled the highest expectations
Of the country BY his exhibitions Of firm
pess in the maintenance Of what he be-
lieves 10 be just and proper principles Of
action. A Washington letter in the New
York Express says:
Almost all the Office seekers have a
good story to tell of the President, and,
although none as yet are gratified, I be-
lieve all are satisfied with the reasonable
ness Of his answers. His resolution is
mistaken as TO removals. He will make
none in and Of himself. All must come
through the proper department, and all
will be duly considered in Cabinet Coun-
Gil.
A good story is told by one Of his old
neighbors and warm personal friends,
who presented himself at the White House
on Wednesday, saw the President for a
few moments, told him his wishes, and
then commenced laying before him his
written application, testimonials, &c.,
"Put them up" said the General, II will
not look at one ofthem. AHappointments
must come through the proper channel,
and while | wish you all personal happi-
ness, and all public prosperity, l cannot
make any exception to the course have
marked out, even to the best friend
have" The reasonablenees OF the an
swer was entirely satisfactory to him, and
he left, admiring his friend more and more.
Another applicant had an interview
with him yesterday, and bore with him a
petition with an immense roll ofnames.
"Mr President" said the friend, "you
cannot get over that, ! am sure. Read,
and ! am sure you would say SO !" and the
paper rolled from the applicants hand as
he spoke. The General took it, handed
it back, and said he would not look at it If
It reached from the White House to
Rochester. 1t must come through the de.
partment.
So you see their is no getting round, or
getting over the occupant Of the White
House and he swho climbs up any other
way" than the right way, will, in good
scriptural phraseology, be treated s'as
thief and a robber."
The appointments will not be made with
any great hurry, and the President and his
Cabinet seem disposed not to hurry mat
tiers.
The President, with characteristic in
dustry summons his Cabinet at nine o'clock
in the morning, and at this hour Of the
morning they have met, even after the Sc
we're labors Of the week. From nine to
noon is given to considerations, from noon
to three P. H.. to public reception, and all
leisure time from three to nine again to
business. We have working President
and working Cabinet, and for the pre-
sent, there is an abundance Of work to do,
and will be much more when the toll be-
gins, OF cleansing the Augean stables.
