INDIANA POST oFFICEs-ABUsEs Ex-
POSED.


A gentleman, lately appointed postmas-
ter in an important town Of INDIANA, writes
to friend in this city as follows:
"And here let me inform you of some facts which
none of us would have thought could be. When
came into Office found not less than 500 docu-
ments, sent by our late Nj. c., all laid carefully
aside. Some 100 copies of the life of Gen. Taylor
laid away, and numerous other public documents
at least two large bags full and, strange to
say, not FIVE Of them were Democratic documents;
all Wing, and frnnked by -
"This and other matters which | found in the Of
fee, convinced me that all the yillany which man
could conceive Systematically carried on by the
offce-holders. | gathered all such documents as
were fit to distribute and gave them out. Hundreds
were too filthy to handle"
1t is right that the above malversation
in Office should be exposed. 1t never
would have been exposed, except in con-
sequence of the exercise Of the removing
and appointing power. The probability Is,
that the documents remaining in the office
above alluded to form but small portion
of the documents that were actually re-
ceived and withheld from circulation. In
the many months that have elapsed since
the campaign, no doubt many other re-
tanned documents have been used as waste
paper, wrapping paper, or been burned.
In how many of the Offices this vile prac-
tice has prevailed, to what extent it has
been carried, it is impossible to say, and
impossible to ascertain with any degree of
accuracy. The fact that it has been done
in one instance indicates clearly enough
that it may have been done in many
other instances.
But the opposition presses say that il is
better that misconduct should have re-
NAMED undiscovered, than that the guilty
postmaster should have been removed !
Better for whoml For the Locofocos surely.
But for the people is it betterl For the
'HlSs - u DetteI hnu Cdn TIE ekeTClhe
of that power be wrong, which leads to
such results And does not the discovery
of every new official abuse show the wis
dom and the necessity of the exercise Of
this power by the President, unless he
would become responsible for the acts of
men of whom he knows nothing, except
that they belong TO the party who de-
nounce him as an imbecile, ignorant ty-
rant and a sanguinary butcher.
This is parallel case to that of Eli
MOORE. Three Locofoco district attorneys
bad flourished in the southern district of
New York, and not one of them suspected

THE CITY APPOINTMENT.
The Republic--Mr. Jacob Gideon

From the Union of yesterday we clip
the following paragraph in relation to the
appointments made for this city and the
District of Columbia;
"Rumors spread over the city yesterday
evening that the appointments in this city de-
cided in the Cabinet, and that general whrlwind
has scattered all the Democrats. Among the rest
II rs said that merltorious and excellent post
master, Colonel Gardner, has been removed. We
confess shall be surprised at nothing Ii is re-
ported ALSO that the two organs jostled each other
and that the protge Of the Republic went to the wall
We presume that Gen. Taylor was again outvoted
in his own Cabinet The organs will doubtless
have all the appointments blazoned in their columns
this morning"
In so far as the remarks of the Union
convey the idea that the interest, the po-
sition, or the influence of the Republic was
involved in the success of any candidate
for any Office in the gift of the Govern
ment, they were penned in misconcep-
ton of the purposes for which it was es-
tablished. In SO far as they insinuate an
opposition on our part to any of the gen.
tlemen appointed to Office on account of
their being acceptable to the National In
telligencer, they adduce for an objection
what we regard as a guaranty of the fit
ness Of their selection.
In the appointment of Mr.. Wallach, the
President has bestowed Office on a gentle
man who was foremost in the ranks Of
those who hocked around HIS banner when
first unfurled in the metropolis Of the
Union-a gallant, jealous, and efficient
Wing, and the first native of the District,
we believe, upon whom the marshalship
was ever conferred.
In Mr.. Fendall we recognise one Of the
victims Of prescription in 1929. He was
then employed in the State Department.
Since that time he has become eminent in
his profession; and, during the long inter
val of Wing Punishment from Executive
favor, has held to the faith without a
shadow of turning. He is fit to be made
District Attorney.
Mr.. Bradley is Wing of high stand
ing in the District, and as such has filed the
Office of Mayor Of Washington, and leader
in her councils, with ability and public
spirit. His appointment as Postmaster will
meet with general satisfaction.
Over the promotion of such men to
official station, the Wings of Washington
city may well rejoice and, though our lot
amongst them has been so recently cast,
they will permit us to rejoice with them.
Whom does the Union allude TO as the
Trotegs Of the Repu6hcl Can our coutem-
porary mean Jacob Gideon, the father of
one of the publishers Of this paper' If so

An Artificial Leech.
the occasion

We learn from article in the Paris Journal des
Debai', quoted in Tuesdays Courier DIES Eiai, Uais,
that an important discovery, which is likely to be
Of the greatest service to humanity, occupies at
this moment the attention Of the French scientific
world. 1t isa mechanical eech (sangn0 meeaniq,l)
which M. Alexander, civil engineer, already cele-
brated for his useful discoveries, has submitted to
the judgment Of all the scientific bodies, which, af-
ter satisfactory trials, have caused this sangsw to
be adopted in all the hospitals, after having proved,
not only the immense economy Of its use, but, what
is better, the decided advantages which il has over
the natural leech, often so rare, always repugnant
TO the patient and'sometimes dangerous.
The President Of the French Republic has given
orders for the supply Of the apparatus in every
commune where it may be found serviceable by in
digent patients
