IDEAS OF GESrILlrY--In the c.ii-
nation of most citizens, all occupations
by which men obtain an honest and in.
dependent support are honorable; but
the examination Of Kendall has drvcl-
op some new IDEAS on the subject. Mr.
w. W. King, for instance, thinks that
an employee Of the Government.
whose salary does not exceed twelve
hundred dollars per ann"m, is unwor-
thy of belief against such associatrs Of
Senators as Kendall and Mr.. }. p.
Benjamin, on Saturday evening de-
clared he would rather be stevedore
on the Levee than so low 4 fellow rs
mail agent. BY parity logic. any
rich fclon is a respectable gentleman
compared with M honest, right on
and industrious man.
This is the King and Benjamin idea
