r. BrTLm KIre.-we pub,ishsd 10 the HERALD,
few days since, in our tslegraphic despatch from
Washington, paragrsrhto the enecs thatT Butler
King had been removed by the government from
the Office Of Collector Of Customs in San Francisco,
and that charges Of serious nature had been made
against him. We have since, however, received
information Of definite character, which pla les
the matter in q completely different light. We
learn that Mr.. King vas not {" removed BY the 60
yernment, but tha. he rendered his resignation,
which was accepted. The vacancy thus made has
been filed by the appointment of Beverley C. San
ders as HE successor The which led to this
action on the part Of Mr.. Kisg were, tina. differ
ence Ct opinion had arisen between him and the
government relative to the amount Of duties which
ought legally to be imposed on imported goods
irving at San Francisco, and that his decisions as
collector Of the port, had given oiencs TO the
French and British importers, but particularly the
former, and did not meet the appreciation Of our
own governments, On this issue, therefore, Mr..
King conceived that the most honorable course for
him to pursue, was to resign his Office, which he
acco rdiDgly did.
