Su,cipE or YOUNG GIRL--M Miss Mary Fenton,
young lady who resided with her widowed mother
In Monroe Township, Indiana, committed suicide
BY drowning herself III il-pond on the 10th ult.
Tho Madison Banner says she was young lady Of
most estlmable character and beautiful person. and
was an exemplary member Of tho Presbyterian
church in tho vicinity, where she had attended
vices the previous evening. The incentive to this
rash deed, which has thrown gloom over the large
circle Of friends by whom she was known and be-
loved, Is as yet hidden mystery.

the cabinet is abusing the confidence reposed
in them by President Taylor, and resort is
had to oil manner Of falsehood to make it
appear that such is the fact; and then comes
the argument, that no President can, with
safety to himself, permit the Heads Of De-
partments to execute the laws, so far as their
fundamentally goes, without treating them
as mere clerks, without responsibility and
without discretionary power. Thus, the
policy Of Mr.. Polk, in making the President
the sole executor Of the constitution and the
laws, Individually as well as officially, is de-
Tended, as the only safe one for any Presi-
dent to follow, We say to the journals thus
engaged, one and all, that their labor is in
vain President Taylor has implicit conf
dence in the Heads Of Departments, whom
he has chosen. He knows them to be all
honorable, upright and honest men, who
would scorn to do any act or countenance
any proceeding, that would not rebound to
the honor and glory Of the Generals admin
istration and advance the interests Of the
country. They have entire confidence in
him, and he in them. His official family is
so far made up and SO far complete. 1t will
be completed, in due time, in all its parts.
Confidence between all the members Of the
Government, and corlaity and harmony
and entire competency, will be substituted
for suspicion Of fidelity, GOODNESS Of official
demeanor, distrust and incompetency. The
public good and justice require, that this
should be done, and it will be done. Per-
feet official responsibility will be exacted Of
all the officers Of Government, from the
highest to the lowest; and where the law
locates the requisite executive power to en-
able the officer to answer to that exaction,
whether the power be express or implied, the
law will be executed in its letter and its
spirit. The country is already beginning to
feel, that it is under constitutional and a
legal administration Of the Federal Govern
ment, and we bid the friends of the Admin
istration to have patience, and they will re-
alize their fondest hopes As to the oppo-
nents Of the Administration, they will be no
more able to disturb the confidence existing
between General Taylor and his official!fam

its entire completion, than Santa Anna was
