Something About Appointments.

The President elect, on the very day when he left
Baton Rouge, assured some of his old military
friends In whom he places implicit confidence, that
he would dismiss no man from Office except for
cause and that he saw no reason why he should not
renew the commissions of individuals whose con.
duct in Office was not liable to censure This course
is approved and recommended to him by some OF
his most intimate friends-those whom he trusts and
values the most ". Orleans Courier ID.
General Taylor has said In conversation with his
friends that there must necessarily be some ap-
pointments but more disappointment and we
may add to this true and frank declaration without
any violation OF confidence the following brief ex-
tract of private letter addressed TO gentlemen In
this city: 'rhere will not be Office for an appli-
cant In twenty, and oil who are disappointed, will,
MS matter Of course, become my most implaeabe
enemies for ie attributing their failure to any
but the correct one viz: want Of qualifications and
want of vacancies II will be seen by the above
phy reflection; that General Taylor has "realizing
sense' of his situation, and his eyes wide open to
the ''wants" of the great political community. An
other extract from the same letter, which Is fully
equal to his celebrated reply to Governor Marcy, will
throw still more light upon the principles which will
govern the new President In regard to appointments
and removals. He says he will act in these matters
"solely for the honor and good of the country" and
not inquire whether the candidate lis Wing or a
Democrat or whether he voted for or against me-

Those nnacquanted with the new Constitution Of
Illinois may conclude that the failure Of the bill to
charter the Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad, pre-
cldes the possibility Of any further action and that
no charter or right Of way will be granted to this
company by the Legislature al It's present session.
Under the new Constitution, there Is great doubt
whether the Legislature incorporate any railroad
company, and II will be remembered that the bill TO
charter company, and build Railroad from the
Coal mines TO Illinois Town, failed some weeks
since. No chatrer will probably be granted to any
company but II is believed that general law will be
passed, giving TO all companies the right Of way
through the State of Illinois.
The friends Of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
believed II best to try for sepa ate charter this In
their opinion being better than mere right Of way
being willing, however, TO accept Of the right Of way
In case the constitution Of the State should be
construed as TO permit no individual charter
The news Of the defeat Of our bill comes through
Alton, which has ever been the active and unfinch-
Ing enemy Of this route. II would be a great fri
nmph indeed 10 our enemies should they succeed by
this maneuvre In throwing into dependency and

Let US work on and await the action Of the Illinois
Legislature on the general Railroad bill.
We hope all papers friendly 10 the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad will make this explanation. News
will doubtless reach MS In day or two which will
settle the matter as TO the truth Of this explanation.

The spois system is to drive from office com
petent men and appoint incompetent or
equally competent men, because the latter
may chance to think as the appointing pow
er does on given public questions This

dent Taylor, and office-seekers, who presume
to think otherwise, win save themselves a
vast deal of expense and trouble BY abandon
ing their schemes at once.
But there is fayorite idea among othce-
seekers, that President Taylor ought to pro-
scribe prescription This is nothing more
than covert proposition to continue proscrlp-
ton. Gen Taylor is not to be caught BY
such chat as this. He will put an end to
prescription by refusing to remove or APP
point men solely because Of their political
opinions. Their political opinions Of men
will have nothing more to do with their re-
movals OF appointments than their religious
opinions. He HAS No FRIENDS TO REWARD,
