A Sad and Significant Omission.


On Friday last Gen Scott returned to Washing
ton, and at about o'clock that evening his whie
friends went in procession to welcome him home
There was speech and much shouting, and many
Signs OF eilcltation and JOY: In reply. Gen. Scott
spoke of his tour of himself and of his friendly and
neighboTly relations with those who had thus come
out to greet him
On the same day in the morning, and from hour
to hour afterwards telegraphic tidings came to
Washington than Daniel Webster at Mansfield Law
| at the point of death
The news neither checked nor dampened the whig
jubilee. The spokesman of the crowd did not men
ton it. The General in his response, did not al

exultation of the hour

the existing condition of the wing party Had Cen

his friends of t-had he manifested its impression
upon his own feelings--and had he exhorted his
friends, as tribute ofrespect to the great spirit then
passing away to return in respectful silence to their

He did nothing of the sort and men will wonder
at his forgetuness if it forgetfulness and draw

Of truth, Judged by this instance, the Scott
wing Of the whig party have maintained rigid con-

last The approach of death itself has brought to
them show of faterng in the bitterness Of their
rancor or the sternness Of their hate!

facts in relation to the removal Of the Hon. Thomas
Butler King from the collectorship of San Francis
CO, California
! 1--WE learn that voluminous charges were prefer
red some time since, to the President and Treasury
Mr. he ificat IF
which occupied upwards of thirty pages of manu-
script. These charges were of such serious charac
ter as to demand the prompt attention of the gov
eminent Besides them. difficulties existed in rela-
tion to very large amount of public money alleg-
ed by MIR. Collier of New York The former collector,
to have been received by Mr. King from him. MIR.
King was appraised of the condition of things, and
proffered his resignation he could arrange
the matters that caused the trouble. But the gov
eminent deemed that more emphatic course should
be pursued before the time he suggested for his
/ sgnation had elapsed-and by the steamer at the
close of last month"; first of this month, the treas
ury sent supersedeas of Mr.. King, with authority
to MIR. Saunders, formerly of Baltimore, in
San Francisco to take possession of the public pa
pers and public money in the collectors office
