worthy of record At a dinner Of dramatic au-

Leon Gozap, of the beat Of the dranatis,s. was

upon his plays, and mentioned casually that he
too. impelied by cacoethes scribendi, had strung
together several scenes, almost without rhyme or
reason, but which, nevertheless were not alto
gether destitute Of merit. AS NJ. Aart well
known to be man Of wit, Leon Gozan asked to
be allowed to peruse the manuscript, and the mex
day received it from the author Pressed by ether
duties, however, NJ. Gozian neglected to read it
till urged to do 30 by the manager of the French
theatre. He then devoted evening to it, and
finding it very meritorous production, and its
faults easy 10 be corrected, went the next day TO
the telegraph Office to have an interview with the
author He inquired at the porter's lodge for Nj.

As the friends of other candidates for this office
are already active in their behalf, desire to pre-
cent the name OF the present incumbent, WALTER
LESox, esq, for reelection. 1t is to be expected
that personal preference will, TO some extent gov
ern the choice OF many; but before the community
generally. honest and discerning in its decision is
not the proper question, "What is the public inter
est?' 1t must be admitted by every fecting citi
zen that sudden and unoalicd for change is not
only unjust to the officer, but the public inter
eat. Ii takes away the personal motive and ambi-
ton which induce the faithful performance of duty,
and loses to the public the benefits Of official expert
ence. If the present incumbent has discharged
the duties of the office with ability and zeal, and
hereafter bring to il the advantage OF practical
experience, trust that the people of Washington
will use the elective franchise to their own in
