For the lnquvrr and chroaielr.
The Bedford Pest Office.

After lapse of sixty days, rlie public
mind has been relieved from suspense as fo
the final disposition Of onr little Post Of
fee, iy flourish Of trumrets IN the Bed
ford Gazette of last week, whose editor
states the fact Of the appointment Of Mrs.
Agnis SappI5 widow of A. Saupp, she la'e
incumbent, (who neither reads nor writes
English but her son Frank, who IS polite
aud gentlenanly, and we'll qualified, will
discharge the dnties Of the Office for this
imported Catholic Lady What hypoera-,
cy--what an iaSuit to this community
what an outrage on veracity Who is
guled by the Gacetfe? None save the
Jesuiticai F. VI. General, and perhaps the
nat,re born applicants for the Office from
this borough. Poor deludcd fellows We
have said, time and again, and ROW repeat
the in n.ontroyertible fact, that no native
born citizen can compete with an imported
foreigner for office under rhe Pierce admin
istration, no matter what the station may be
or what the antecedcnts of the native, the
foreigner will be 4nade TO laugh him to
storn. Having said this much, We shall, in
order the more explicitly ana truthfrly To
verify what we have stated above, and in
connection with this subject, uSe names
aRd this We shall 90 without intending the
least disreSpcct TO those gentlemen who
were competitors, ana whose names are be-
fore Judge Campbell We purposely omit
the Doctors and LAWYERS, aud rake up the
case of Maj. Taliaferro, 4 soldier Of the
War OF 1872, and thcEnost prominent and
tya.rfing of the Locofoco party in this Sec
ton cf Pennsylvania, who is uncomprouis-
ing and as bitter as gall AMI worniwood in
his cppostiou 20 the American party. This
really excellent citizen at heart, but most
deluded in his political course of action,
must now confess that Know Nothingism
means Sonsthtlg, and that the American
party is exeusablc for its hostility TO the
course of the President aad his Cabiaet--
We would in conclusion, further state here
for llse information OF the gallant Major
aud bis pretended friends, that his chance
of prefcrmeut under tho Pierce dynasty is
just about az good rs it was under that of
Jimmey Polk, Of Tennessee

IL We find in the New Yolk papers the
following docuaeats relating to the late
events in Nicaragua
To The Stockholders Of tie ,7cc.ssory Trax-
SIT company,
The President and directors of the Ac-
eessory Transit Company are enabled at
last 10 congratulate you on the rcstor ration
of peace in Nicaragua.
y civil war has been raging there for
eighteen months, during all which time, un-
III on: last trip, the company were not mo-
Tested unnecessarily by either party, but en-
joyed the confidence and respect of both
parties.
! Our business, however, was materially di-
/ minished by two causes: First The general
apprehension that the line OF transit might
become the seat: of strife, and prove unsafe
TO passengers and treasure; second, the pre-
valonce OF Asiatic cholera, which appeared
On the isshnns some three months since.
Ti.ose who had been accustomed to ship
large quantities of treasure by our route de-
clined n'aking further shipments, with as
surance that when peace was restored their
shipments should be reaewel
/ The Government party and army through
Gen Corral, surrendered TO the democratic
or revolutionary party on the 10th ui:imo,
and terms Of peace were formally signed by
Gen Walker and Gen. Corral
After the revolution Was thus ended an
attack was inade on our passengers while at
Virgin Bay by some scattered remlsn.s Of
the Government forces, and Ave .os thcm
we're killed. One of our steamboats, was
fred into at San Carlos, and woman and
child were killed by thirty-tvo pouoG ball
after which the offenders spiked a.! the cam
nop of The fort and fed down the river 10
the San Juan del Norte,
The perpetrators of these outrages the
now Government promise 20 punish 10 the
severess manner. Our Maister resident 10
Nicaragua, Col. Wheeler, has also called
attention of the United States Government
to these offences against the liyes and prop
erty of our citizens
The revolution is now over. Order pre-
walls again. The ecw Government, friend
ly TO the company and respecting its vested
righ.s, viii at all times be ready to protect
it, should protection be required, and We
shall no longer have TO invoke the aid Of
our own Government The is.hmus is free
