WHERE Is CUNNING GOING

What Office does the editor of the Keokuk
Dispatch want? Mr.. Morgan, of the Bur-
lington Telegraph, says he has been irving
to assist MIR. Cunning into s'paying exile,"
and has been treated with ngratitude, and
now he wishes he had let the "ruihan'--
that's what Morgan calls him = help himself.
What important French Consulate do you
want, Mr.. Cunning? Any little influence
we may have with the Administration shall
be cheerfully rendered!
1t is very pretty quarrel. We like to
see these Locofocos tearing each others
eyes out. Cunning abuses Morgan for pub
fishing a private letter, which is likely to
get the former into a scrape with some Lee
"county aspirants," who are spoken of dis.
paragingly in the letter. AS self defence
may justify homicide, so the defence of
mans reputation may in some rare in
stances, excuse the publication of private
letter, but a malicious exposure of the con-
tents of a private letter where it may do in
jury, whether such exposure is oral, or
written or printed, cannot be too strongly
condemned, as the lowest species of owes.
dropping, and the very meanest kind of tat
thing. Mr.. Morgan seems to have been
much provoked, and may even have been
justifable in proceeding to the extreme step
of publishing private letter. Upon this
we shall not decide; but there is so much
truth in the general principles laid down in
Mr.. Cummings remarks about the proprietv
of such exposures. that we are tempted to
copy and endorse them, except their appli-
cation to Mr.. Morgan:
"It is truly said that any one can cause
ANNOYANCE by the publication of unguarded
confidential letters, and Mr.. Morgan can in
iure us still further, perhaps, by ushering
into light random correspondence with
him during q period of frank friendship
1 of some five years. So also a fellow who
Twill listen at keyholes and stand behind
kdoors, may divulge many uncomfortable Sc
lcrcts of social privacy; yet it is no less true
THAT the perpetrator Of the act will suffer
the most lasting injury, and that honorable
! men will avoid and despise him.
| "While we regret that Mr. Morgan has
taken step, from the degradation of which
neither the public or his own conscience will
recall him. we must consider it, also, as the
unavoidable result of his own loose and un
principled POLITICAL habits. The character
/ Of men whs are low-minded by instinct.
mischief makers by profession, traducers of
friends, aud frebrands in their party, would
be incomplete, and their malice unsatisied,
/ without recourse to the low and despicable
practices of the evesdropper."
Mr.. Morgan, on the other hand, abuses
Mr.. Cunning for accusing him in his paper,
by permitted Implication, of being disor-
ganizer, while protesting friendship, and
denying privately to the former that a GER
tain editorial article was leveled at him
and Morgan undertakes, and not entirely
unsuccessfully, to prove these charges. The
whole affair has become merely personal.
The editor of the Muscatine Enquirer has
jumped into the fight, though in the present
condition o, the matter we do not exactly
sec wha. business it is of his.

Removal of Collector Bronson.

| The removal Of an honest, capable and
faithful public officer because he spoke
| plainly, and because he refused to appoint
Freesoilers to office, chiefly, was weak act
of despotism, which has placed the Admin
istration in an UNANIMOUSLY disgraceful posi-
ton. As for Secretary Guthric'S letters to
Bronson, there was an amount of hypocrisy,
contradiction and meanness about them,
which will not be exceeded until Guthrie
does it himself. His last letter has been
read with Kissing scorn, contempt and ridi-
cule, all over the country, and, together with
the butchery of Bronson, denounced in un-
measured terms by Wing. Democratic and
Independent presses. The late Collector is
not accused in any quarter, and has not
been from the first, o. want of honesty,
faithfulness, or capacity. The evident de-
sign of the administration was to influence
the New YORK State elections in favor of
the Freesoilers, local matter with which it
was beneath Its dignity and out of its place
to interfere.
When Secretary Guthrie demonstrated
with Collector Bronson for not more equally
distributing his appointments between the
two sections Of the New YORK Democracy,
the latter, speaking with manly freedom,
expressed his opinion Of the nature of his
duties, and gave the former to understand
that he could not be used as tool. This
freedom of speech, where the arrogant Sec
rotary looked only for spaniel-liKe subser-
yiency, was an example of s. insubordina-
ton " not to be tolerated or forgiven, and
the Collector was accordingly removed
without decency or dignity.
The Democratic Republican General Com
mittee, Of New YORK, have appointed a
Committee to draft suitable resolutions
expressive of the indignant sense of the ma
tional Democrats in regard to the removal
of MIR. Bronson, in consequence of his refu-
sal to become tool of Van Buren,, Marcy
and Company" Judge Bronson, since his
removal, has been nominated for the State
Senate by one Democratic convention, and
for Governor by another, and he is strongly
spoken of for the u. S. Senate-so anxious
are the National Democracy of New YORK to
show that they honor him for his fearless,
unAinching integrity.
A meeting of the New YORK Bar and ano-
ther of the New YORK merchants, without
distinction OF party, have been held, to ex-
press opinions of this extraordinary reno
val. s'Since the formation of our govern
ment," says the notice COZ the latter meet

The subject of pavements may in the estimation Of
some, be small matter to discuss or even to mention
in the public prints but l. as well as hundreds of 9th
ers, think it is an important oneone which should be
attended to without any force. Pride, beauty cean
ness and comfort to the pedestrians should at least
wake that feeling up in the breast of the property
holder to have has side walk paved so as to enable
one to walk without getting knee deep in mud
When the ordinance was passed, relative to pavements
many of the citizens went to work Immediately and
had their portion of the pavements laid down without
holders along Main street (particularly) would
ply with that ordinance. But it has not been DONE
No notice has been taken of it regard paid to it,
If certain persons allowed to treat all laws with
contempt, because they happen to belong to the
"upper ten why should not the clover ten have the
same privilege? The man who owns property along
Main street. as well other principal thoroughares
cannot afford to lay pavement, should not own any
and if he is not willing to pave, there should be way
to make him.
What use is there to have Mayor and City Coun-
ci what is there to pass orlinances?-unless such
officers can make good ordinances, and enforce them
wien passed. We might as well abolish all ordi-
nances, do away with city officers and go upon
the principle, "every for himscf-and the Devil
