ANOTHER DEFALCATION.

We understand that Patrick Collins,
Surveyor of the port of Cincinnati, re.
moved by President Taylor, proves 10
be defaulter TO large amount. His
defalca,ion has been exposed by the
exercise of the removing and appoint
ing power, 1t has been seasonably ex.
posed. If he had been suffered 10 re.
main in Office few months longer, his
case would have been that of one Of
President TayIor's officers. The
adoption and continuance in Office Of
an aPpoinlee of the late adminis,ra-
ton, is equivalent to an original ap.
pointment--as far as Executive respon.
sibility is concerned.
Long and loud have been the jeremi-
ads of the opposition press over the re-
moval of Patrick Collins. Fierce have
been the anathemas uttered against the
butchers" of this deserving man.
Though thousand paragraphs have
flashed the CLEAN of the descending
axe, by which he was (me,aphoricaIly)
decapi'ated. A thousand jibes and jeers
witticisms innumerable-eloquent in
vectives-what wretched waste has
there been of all these in the case of
this meritorious martyrl
Now, by Locofoco logic, it would
have been better that President Taylor
should not have exercised the removing
power, than that, by the exercise of it.,
this defalcation should have been expo
sed. The old line peculators used to
think it wise TO retain man in office
who had his hands full, because he would
not want any more. This was the ar
gument that was want to stagger the
reasoning powers of Mr.. Secretary
Woodbury.. He thought i, was good
logic-"rather than WISE"
What an answer is every such case
as this 10 whole broadsides of rant and
defamation about removals from Office
Without the change of "men," such
measures" as have been taken by
these office holders can never be un.
ravelled. Not peccadilloes, merely,
but great peculations, lie concealed in
the dust and cobwebs of official cham,
bers, until the new broom comes that
sweeps clean.

Button, and Edward Gilbert, a commit
tee appointed by the st. Francisco NEE
ting, publish a card to the public, dated
June 10, denying the right of Gen.
Riley TO regulate the assembling of the
Convention, but for convenience sake
recommend the adoption of the day for
the election and the meeting Of the Con.
vention named by him.
The Committee recommend their
fellow-citizens of the District Of San
Francisco TO elect five delegates to the
Convention;'and cannot but express the
opinion that their fellow citizens of the
two great mining districts of Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin, have not had
anything like justice done them, by the
apPortionment Of Gen. Riley-that
they are Justly entitled to a greater
proportion of delegates 10 the Con-
vention than the number mentioned in
Gen. Riley's Proclamation; and the
Committee, believing their fellow ci,i.
zens of the mining districts to have
equal rights, in proportion TO numbers,
with the people Of other districts, re-
commend them 10 elect such increased
number of delegates as they in their
judgment shall think jus, and right.

GREEN MANURES.

Inc practlce OF renovatlng exhaust

green plants raised for the purpose is
very ancient. Nenophon says, BY these
means the soil may be enriched as
much as by dung. This, if not strictly
true, shows how important the prac-
,ice was viewed in his day. The lupin
was generally depended upon for this

in Italy and some other parts of Eu-

CLERKS AT WAsHrNoToN.-We
noticed the removal Of some eighteen
clerks in the General Land Office at
Washington. They were all Locofocos,
and all are set down as martyrS by the
Washington Union. But the Washing.
ton Republic acquaints the public with
The amour, Of sympathy which is pro,
perly due TO each Of them, when il says;
Nov, during the canvass Of ls4s,
there were from sixty to seventy Loco
foco clerks in that office; and however
it may have been at their desks, in
the election, at least they were not idle.
Those of them thai did not go abroad
and engage actively in the campaign,
furnished the sinews of war. The cleo,
lion in Pennsylvania was supposed to
DO the one which would decide the con.
test. 1t was important to carry that,
and, in order to do it, voluntary con
tributiens were raised by the Locofoco
clerks, and forced contributions were
levied on the few Wings in the office to
furnish the means by which men could

be transported from tile District of Co.
tun'b'd to cote an Pennsylvania. To this
fund, the nineteen clerks removed on
Saturday contributed, every man OF
them, without exception. We have
the names, with the sum paid by each,
but do not think worth while TO give
them. Suffice it that we know, on the
most undoubted evidence, that every
man among them contributed money to
perPetrate this deliberate, monstrous
fraud on the elective franchise; and
these are the men for whom the Union
claims impunity, because they did not
interfere in the election.
But this is not the only reason for
the removal of these men. The Union
is their organ, the mouthpiece, the ex.
ponent of their opinions and feelings
Its frenzied passion, its base falsehoods
and scurility, are theirs. How could
an administration live that would retain
IN confidential places men ac,uated bv
such deep malice towards it, and so
little scrupulous as to the means of
wreaking their vengeance. General
Taylor never pledged himself to retain
such men in Office, and he cannot, do it
and yet administer the Government,

The body of man was discovered by
the stevedores in the hold Of the ship
Washington from Deltzyl, i'll Germany,
while unloading at the wharf in New
Y ork, on the Both ultimo. The body
was so jammed and covered up by the
cargo as 10 induce the suspicion that the
man had been murdered and secreted on
board the vessel, either before she sailed
from Germany or during the voyage.
The corpse was very much decayed, aad
was exceedingly offensive, though Oh the
cOroner's inquest it was discovered that
the throat had been cut from ear to ear.
An extract from the log of the Wash
ington states that on the 18th August
Charles Page, a Prussian, aged twenty
one years a steerage passenger, was
missed, supposed to have fallen overheard

him, but he could not be found. 1t Is

ASTRONOMICAL DIsCovERY.-Mr. Kirk
wood, of Pottsville, Pa, has recently dis
covered law of rotation among the
planets, determining the length of the
days in each, which is as fixed in its re-
lations as the law of Kepler determining
the length of the year. The series OF
calculations by which he has arrived at
this result, have been submitted to the
mos. eminent astronomers of the country,
and they are unanimous i'll verifying the
correctness of the figures and the great
astronomical value of the discovery in
determining the existence of new law
in the solar system. The calculations
assume as true the Nebular hypothesis OF
Laplace; and as that assumption harmo.
nlzes with all the computed anG observed
results of the law, the effect on the mind
of the astronomers is to establish the
Nebular theory of the constitution of the

FIRST Towns IN AMERICA.-The Ma
tional lntelligencer relates the following
curious facts, which will be news to
many of our readers:
1t will seem curious to those who are
not aware of the fact, that the first towns
built by Europeans upon the American
continent were ST. Augustine, in East
Florida. and Santa Fe, the capital of
New Mexico. The river Gila was ex-
plored before the Mississippi was known,
and gold was sought in California long
ere the first white mau had endeavored d
to find home on the shores of New
England. There are doubtless trees
standing within the fallen buildings of
ancient Panama, that had commenced to
grow when the cites of Boston and New
York were covered with the primeval
wilderness.
