pursued by the Cabinet. We believe General
Taylor to be an honest man, but this incident
which, from all the circumstances OF The caseI
can be no fiction, strikes US as very queer II.
I Illustration Of the manner in which ExeculIve1
appointments are now made. The leading menI
of the party were Jealous for the selection OF al
Mr.. Lnthicum as Navy Agent, but were start
led by the news that Mr.. l.athrop was to re
Iceive the place. The Mayor Of GeorgetownI
waited on the President, who replied that het
"could assure his friend Mr.. Linthcum, that heI
had received The appointment Of Navy Agent.
It is stated that at that very time the commits
sion Of MIR. Lathrop had been signed. and was
heing recorded in the Navy Department! Thei
Wings Of Georgetown, again alarmed, werrl
again assured-lhis time by Col. Bliss-hatI
Mr.. Linhicum had been appointed. The Off |
3cial notice, however, Of Mr.. Lathrop's appoint
ment set the matter at rest. The corrcspnn. :
dent Of the Baltimore Clipper, an administra.l i
|ton paper, confirms the above facts, and says$
that Mr.. Addison stated that he had an inter.
view with the President tha, morning, who tolds
/ him that he had preferred Mr.. Linthcum, andS

Iflhe above facts be correct. we lament suchs
tricks of political machirery among the Cabinet
sof the President of the United States. II isl
|cerIainy indicative or the truth Of the chargrss
made, that President Taylor places too implicitly
confidence in his Cabinet and that he is in a
|greut measure the mere tool Of its members.
