We detected our neighbor Of the Enquirer
q day or two ago, in one of his silly attempts
to pass off his nonsense upon bis readers, and
drove him to the wall so bard that he nearly
flies to atoms in his vain attempt to dodge the
meeting of an issue of his own making. We
only accused him Of joking, when he uttered
the absurd and ridiculous sentment-"Nev.
er was President more cordially Supported
BY the whole county than Mr.. Pierce" lie
now "owns up the corn" and says he only
did it to see how much fun he could kick up
in our sanctum. Like the precocious pirate
Spencer, (whom We quoted the other day.
when our neigh Dor discovers himself caught,
he ssys-"he was only ioking'-lhus illustra-
ting the appositeness of our comparison. He
shows himself an ''artful dcdger," as well as
an inveterate joker. We told him the dan
ger of "joking upon serious subjects" and
the fate Of poor Spencer for so doing. We
never accused him Of stalking a brig, skiff,
or even cookie boat" for the clumsy Fla.
that our neighbor is rocked and tossed about
in, trying to gather the scum off from the sur
face of the stsgRaRt political pools in which
his party has sunk him, is very harmless
craft, and well known to all political mari
ners not to be dangerous providing yoa keep
out of its suction when it suddenly sinks.
The bombshes which our neighbor so de-
lights himself in throwing into cur Sanctum,
must be charged with wet ammunition, as
they were never known to rise above the
level Of his own conceited Imagination, or to
explode anywhere. In fact, we believe him
"joking" again, when he says he has sent any
in this direction. The roar Of those STEW
cannon" that he talks about, has probrbly
been more deafening to his own tender ear:
than to those of his neighbors, and we pre-
sumo they too, must have been surcharget
with the emptiness Of his inflated ideas. A:
our neighbor has lodged the issue, and admit
ted that he was only amusing himself wher
he made the statement, that he will probabl,
never make again, and which is too absur'
to be believed BY any body, we will let thu
matter drop until he needs correction again
His Yankee mode of answering our argu
ments by asking other and irrelevant ques
tons, amounts to nothing. We have bu
one position with regard TO Mr.. Seward o
Freesoiers, and unlike Mr.. Pierce we hav
never been found raLdering to their sent
ments or counting their patronage. w
need make no effort to prove Mr.. Pierce
unitness for the Office he holds; that is al
ready too lamentably seli-evident. Il tn
Enquirer insists uDon such proof, We wi
simply cite it to its own Hard friends in Me-
York, who said that be had abandoned NJ
only his friends bot his principles"
When our neighbor gets off the "yard arm
where we have hung him, upon the issue "
took with him, and which he has lodged, W
will then answer some of the questions
has propounded.

How TO MAKE MURDERERs.-The Wheel
ing Intelligencer says that twenty-five years
ago the father OF NJ. F. Ward who killed
Prs. Batter, of Louisville, was with difficulty
restrained from attacking teacher who had
moderately shastised his son. That son is
now confined criminal, charged with killing
the teachry Of bis younger brother. il seems
that he is twenty Eve years Of aye, and mar.
ried. Verify tie influence Of a good OF bad

REMOVALS FROM OFFIcE.-Col. Benton, in
his History, holds the following opinion on
this subject: 81 consider sweeping remuv-
ais, as now practised by both parties, great
political evil in our country; injurious to in
dividuaIs, to the public service, to the purity
Of elections, and to the harmony and unity of
people. Certainly no i'm 1;vidual has right
to an office, no one has an estate or property
in public employment but when a mere
ministerial worker in subordinate station
has learned his duties by experience, aud ap.
proved his fidelity by his conduct, it is an in.
jury to the public service TO exchange him for
novice, whose only title to the place NAV
be a political badge or a partisan service. 1t
is exchanging experience for inexperence
tried ability for untred and destroying the in
centive To good conduct by destroying its re-
ward. To the party displaced it is an injury
having become proficient in that business,
expecting to remain in it during good be-
havior, and finding it difficult, ut an advanced
age and with fixed habits, to begin new
career in some new walk of life. 1t converts
elections into serambles for office. and de.
grades the Government into an office for re-
ward and punishment, and divides the peo-
pie of the Union into two adverse parties
each in its turn, as it becomes dominant, to
st rip and prescribe theother. Our Govern
ment is Union. We aant united people
as well as United States-united for benefits
as well as for burthens, and in feeling as well
as in compact; aud this cannot be while one
half (each in its turn) excludes the other from
all share in the administration of the Gov.
ernment."

BoOmvilie, Newburgh and Evansville
MALL


We have long noticed the Necessity for
some different mai. arrangements than at
present exist between Evansville and New.
burgh, and we even alluded editorislly to the
subject some years ago. The following from
the Warrick Democrat, plainly states the
subject meter of complaint
A petition will in few days be circulated
for the signatures of such of our citizens a.
feel an interest i'm the establishment Of a tri-
weekly mail from Boonville to Newburgh and
Evansville, the present mail facilities being
entirely inadequate TO the business wants oil
this vicinity. We now receive but two mails
a week from Evansville, ton Tuesdays and
Saturdays,) which are but little better than
no mails at all. a large portion of the mail
matter intended for the Newburgh and Boon
Vile Offices accumulates and remains at the
Evansville Office from Tuesday until the fol-
lowing Saturday morning. This accumula-
ton of mail matter in the Evansville Post
Office, we were assured by the p. NJ. some
months ago, was great annoyance to the
business OF that ofice-and that it is serious
inconvenience to the citizens Of Newburgh
and BoonviIle, and in fact to the citizens of
the whole country, we all know. We feel
confident that if the people of Evansville,
Newburgh and Boonvillc will cordially unite
in this movement, there will be no difficulty
in securing the change SO much desired.
We have felt this condition Of things a
particular annoyance, and presume our bust.
ness men regard it in the same way. Well
then, it only needs vigorous effort on the
part of our citizens, in connection with those
of Warrick, to procure such arrangements al
will result in daily or at least tri-weekl,
mali between the places. We would sug
gest 10 those citizens of Warrick engaged il
circulating these petitions, TO send copy Il
some business citizen of this place, for cir
culation here among those interested.

of the Administration, has been extremely
busy at the work of decapitatng the subal.
terms of The New York Custom House, ever
since his appointment. II Secretary Guthrie
applies the same rule to Mr.. Redfed that he
exacted of Mr.. Bronson" to submit for his
approval the names of all his appointees, he
has dragged himself to level Of degradation
in filing these Offices, which would do but
poor credit to the verriest black.leg or EN-.
pire club bully, from among whom 1t appears
he has made liberal selections.
The New York Express, in speaking Of
Mr.. Red6eld's appointments, holds the follow.
ing remarks, which are corroborated by sew.
eral Democratic papers of New York in
terms little less severe:
Tire city will lift up its hands in astonish.
ment as il reads these appointments! Never
before---by no coliector-were such men
with some honorable exceptions, thus put in.
to responsible places! Several VI them are
well-known r.hitters--and fighters
and others are keepers Of the very lowest
rum shops and rroggeries in the city. Some
of them were UP 10 the Syracuse conven-
ton.
Of the ninety appointments. eighty.eight
are Freeso or Softs-only two Of them
being Hunkers, and one Of them. e. A. Kim

Office, it seems, not having mission, is to be

Cincinnati Commercial.

One of the last weeks issues of
this paper contains quite a lengthy
article on the Temperance move
ment" The Editor, after referring to
the ''ruinous effects Of intemperance
on the physical, moral and Intellectual
condition Of its victims" says :--'In
applying specific remedy or pre-
venIive of social disorders, we are.
bound to consider, besides minor and
subordinate points, two material ques
tons. lst. Is the proposed measure
suitable to the actual condition and
circumstances Of the community to
which tits to be applied lia End Can
it. if a Legislative enactment, be exc
Cuted in practice ?" qgr
In relation to the first interTogatory,
the Editor appears to think that the
|. Maine LGsC would not be suitable in
this State. 1t is we'll enough that he,
and all others, should discuss closely
the merits Of this law, for it is the first
trial Of great experiment. But does
he not yet understand that the friends
of the movement do not insist upon a
rigid enactment of this specific law 2"
What they desire is, to have strin-
gent and efficient prohibitory law, one
that will sweep from our State every
vestige Of the liquor traffic But he
rather inclines to the opinion that any
prOhibitory law would not be suitable
from the fact that the interests Of a
certain class of poor people are iden-
| tilted with the manufacture Of wine,
