The S20,OOO DeraIcation,

The expose at the Marshal's office has eau.
sed great deal of talk in the office-seeking
circles. | regret very much that Eli Moor has
got himself into such an unpleasant situation,
and altho', the appearances of the whole affair
look sadly against him, still believe he is en-
tirely guiltless Of any intent to deraud, nor was
be aware that one dollar had been Withdrawn by
Deputy Peck. Moore finding himself in such
an awkward fix before the public, has acknowl-
edged that when he was appointed he sold the
appointment for $l6, 900 and Sl75 per month, 10
his deputy, and that the two previous Marshals
had done the same thing. This accounts for
Peck handling the money; he was the recipient
Of the emoluments of the office, and was his
own.cashier Moore was mere machine, the
ostensible and real officer while the other pock-
etedhhe profits. Here is one Of the most inla-
nous transactions which has occurred within
my knowledge. Offices of public trust and
honor bought and sold like any merchapdize in
the street. It is great disgrace to the parties
concerned, and corruption from the lips Of Lo.

New YORK, Nav IL,


Editors Ohio Stale Journal:
A terrible riot occurred last night at the As.
tor Place Opera House. In order TO prevent a
repetition of the dsgraceful interruptions to
Macready, the police were in possession of the
leading avenues TO The theatre, in force at an
early hour.
The mob gathered in large numbers outside,
and some 10000 spectators assembled. The
mob attempted TO break through the windows
and doors, and were rcPulsed by The police, who
deluged them with streams of water.
The rioters, however, persevered, and at last
the military were summoned A company Of
mounted men, who reached the ground first,
were peltedw stones, and driven from the field.
The Governor. and City Guard, together with
a company of in laniry, now made their appear
ance, and were received with showers of stones
and other missiles by the mob. Portions of the
regiment under Col. Dunga, and Of the artillery
regiment, arrived in succession.
The riot act was finally read by Recorder
Talmadge. The mob, however, continued to
pelt the soldiers, several Of whom were carried
off badly wounded. The order TO fire was Civ.
en-, and one yolley was discharged, mostly blank
cartridges with some BALLS One or two persons
were killed and several wounded.
The rioters not dispensing, second, third and
fourth rounds were fired with balls. Ten OF
fifteen persons fell either killed or morlaIIy
wouc cded, and some twenty or thirty others were
severely wounded. Several citizens, spectators
were unfortunately either killed or wounded
some at considerable distance from the scene
Of action. Among the killed are one or two
women; some others are said to be wounded
one colored woman.
The rioters in great measure Dispersed
The military remained under arms in The square
all night. This morning, they are throwing up
enuenchmenls around the Opera House. The
city throughout is greatly excited. The rioters
still threaten. The Opera House was several
times on fire last night, but the fire was put out.
Many rumors are aaoat which we lorbear to re-
peat. Among tie. rioters arrested is the nolo-

4 SalutarY REMOVAL

Our eastern exchanges contain The gratifying
information thai Edmund Burke, Commission
er Of Patents, has been removed by the Presi.
dent, and that Thomas E@bank, of New York,
has been appointed his successor.
Whatever may be though. of the appoint
meut, we think, that all will rejoice at the rerno-
val. In his proper capacity, Mr.. Burke might
make judicious officer; in bis personal inter-
course, he may be an estimable citizen; but as
Commissioner of Patents, he was extremely
,spail potatoes. The office of Commissioner of
Paseais requires practical nian-one who has
made science a study-who is we'll versed in all
branches of industry--who is able to judge of
the utility Of all new inventions, agricultural and
mechsp; ;cal-and who, moreover, is qualified,
bv education aid research, to collate, compare,
and condense all the st...usdcs of his office into
d scientific report. Those Who have read the
insipid reports of Mr.. Burke will acknowledge
tha. he did not possess such qualifications, and
wanting them, he could not discharge the du.
ties of the office with honor to himself or cred.
il to the country.
OF the lately appointed Commissioner of Pat.
ents (Mr. Ewbank) we know but little. He is
the author of popular scientific work (Ew-
banks Hydraulics and, we believe, has contri-
buted to the advancement Of science in other
ways. The New York papers speak of him as
gentleman every way qualified to discharge
the important duties of the Office over which he
has been called upon to preside. He has never
taken an active part in political affairs, and was
not candidate for Office. The appointment
may therefore be regarded as the reward of
merit. Would that we could so express our.
selves concerning all appointments. J.P.

Death Of Charles II. BrOugh.

Our late intelligence from Cincinnati, bring
the melancholy intelligence that the cholera is
on the increase in that city. Among the fatal
cases, is that of Col. CHARLES H. BRoUGH.
The dealh OF Col. BrOugh will be received by
his numerous friends Throughout. Ohio with heart
felt sorrow. Political enemies--hehad many
but we believe that in the walks Of private life
he was universally beloved. He has held seve-
ral important offices, all of which he filled with
honor to himself and credit to his constituency.
He was a man Of talents, Of character, and Of
enterprise, man who had, by close applica.
ton and the judicious appropriation of those tai
enls given, raised himself from humble sphere
20 one Of the most important judicial Offices in
the STATE.
What lesson does the death Of Col. Brough
teach Us! Yet in the prime of lile,--he voIun-
teered his services ia the late war with Mexico.
The pestilentlal diseases of an unhealthy cli-
tnate affec ted him noi,-neilher did he fall by
The chances of war. At the close Of the cam
paign, III the enjoyment Of full health, he re-
turned home. IN a few months after, he was
elected Presiden, Judge of the first judicial cir
cult, and entered upon The discharge of the du.
ties Of his office. He had completed the frs,
term of the court, when he was called to high
er court to "Gige an account of The deeds done
in the body" On the morning of the 10Th inst,
he arose in the enjoyment of usual healih,--at
five O'Clock in the afternoon he was q corpse.
A host of friends SURROUNDED hitn--alI the aid
that medical skill could render, was at his com.
mahd, but it avaed him not! He had fulfilled
those duties for which he was sent, and was call.
ed hence! Verify, "whut shadows we are, and
what shadows we pursue!'' A few days since
CHARLES Fl. BEoUsi stood in the nniiidst of a bu.

and its honors;--no%S, all of him that remains,
