The Kara Of Cardigan.

THE NoBLEMAN, SOLDIER AND RoUE,
The name Of The Earl of Cardigan, Who
commands the light brigade ot cavalry ia
the East, has been brought with more ire-
quent and unhappy prominence before The
public than that of perhaps any o'her Oil
Ger in the service. Though heir to estates
of forty thousand year, which bear on
their broad surface not one OF those b.em-
ishes which, in the shape o. fat mortgages
aud judgments, disfsure most oil the great
landed properties in England, and shear he
high sounding incomes OF the greater mum
ber of her nobility OF half their fair proper
iions. Lord Cardigan early conceived an
intense passion for the service, whlch ne
has since retained under circumstances cal
culated in general 10 strip tue young sol
dier'S romance OF al ITS gay and gallant
plumage. Those who are acquainted WITH
military life in EHL land kuOW that the voice
of the death bell does not fail more heavily
and sadly on the ear OF a pleasant summer
niobt than does the order for India, on
n cav. reckless, thou5htless regiment OF
British lisht Dragons. Those who have
seen such regiment embark IN all the
pride of its youth aud streagth ani beauty
and witness It's return, or rather the return
of its remains, some twenty-five wears al

1" PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE LATE POSTMASTER
AT NEW ORLEANS"

In the Journal Of Commerce Of the 4th inst there IS
editorial article with the above heading which requires
attention because Of the elevated character Of that journal
and because OF its general fairness The article in question
abouuds with Among other hings il that
the postmaster has been falsely accused upon pausbyab-
rcaed evidence raise implication Of his guilt and
that the accusation the evidence and all the proceedings.
the successive stages Of conspiracy the part Of hem
beers Of the cabinet with the confidential agents Of the Post
Office Department their instruments cireumyent and
destroy innocent for political purposes. Without
stopping remark the utter groundlessness Of all this
theory of the prosecution desire chiefly speak of the
following passages in the article
We address President in behalf of Mr. Kendall who
has been removed from the post Office at New Orleans, and
who has been against by officers Of the
charge Of embezzlement in spirit improper, out
rageous, and malignant call for the

had any share"
eve beseech the President on the strength Of the indie
pendent service have rendered to him throughout his
term do the favorhe only have sought of
descriponto look into the for he and to restore
Mr. Kendall 10 the position in the service of tho
ernen and in society OF which he has been uDusty de-
prved By acting the and behalf Of the Uni
ted Statcs.'
1t is due to truth and justice TO state
horized to do that President himself personally ex
amned the evidence upon which the proceedings in this
directed and gave to it the careful
tiny and that upon such examination he felt did the
members of his cabinet subsequently advised with the
subject that the sacred obligations of public duty
imperayely demanded that however painful it might be
prosecution in the ordinary course of law should be
commenced against Mr. Kendall
We add the strongest possible proof of the proprety
of this determination, that the examining commissioner al
New Orleans, judicial officer appointed by thu
courts and not the Journal of Commerce mistakenly
supposes appontee Of the government found after
patient hearing probable Of proceeding in the case
and that since then and without any direction or inter
ference the part Of the government the late postmaster
has been indicted for another matter of the nature by
the verdict of the grand jury in attendance on the
district court of the eastern district of Louisiana
We should reply in detail the series of arguments and
statements in this artceso for the tenor
its suggestions concerning undergoing Judi
cal investigation in remote city, and for its charges
made without shadow of proof to stand upon made
against members OF the cabinet and others whose only con-
ncxon with the SUBJECT is that of necessary ocia duty
but quite that the last thing which the Pres
dent any member OF his cabinet can desire is that one
word should be uttered for their justification which
could BY possibility prejudice the the accused post
master.
