trary opinion which has turned out to be correct Col
George Kane who has received the appoi OF col

rence would see him appointed as any wing

belongs, in such eminent degree, TO the gentleman
who now fills the ofics General Marriott has proved
himself TO be able oicerheis capable Ii Col Kane
does near as well, no one can complain.
Mr. r. King Carroll has been appointed naval officer
This gentleman democrat and as such elected
in 1923 governor OF Maryland since, he has aposatzed
and gone oyer to federalism This appointment has not
been better to have selected working whig from among

Mr. E. +. Griffin the successor of Mr. VIM Cole

wing party who went in for the nomination Of Henry
Clay in preference 10 all the world What will the org
nal Taylor say to the triumph Of those who endea

THE NAVAL OFFIcER-ln our notice of the appoint
ments for Baltimore, yesterday. Inadvertently omitted
to speak in the terms intended OF the gentleman
moved from the naval office and it might be taken
reflection, on our part, on that gentleman. we hasten TO
correct any such impression. All that said OF The
other democrats removed by the great fslsier OF his
promises, would cheeTfully say Of Col Polk He has
been most excellent officer, gentleman OF courteous
and oblgng manners, and SO good democrat as thus to
be made one of the victims of federal vengeance Bai-
Republican of yesterday.
