Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1855-06-06

J5Hrn VI was essentially humbuggeJ, and that,
too, by very shallow parties, indeed.
The Journal is "ganging the same gai"
with reference to tho Kendall affair In New
Orleans, oontending that the indicted or Post
master is 9 victim of an official conspiracy,
having its head here, in the person Of the
Secretary Of War, who 1t represents, as dis.
liking K. on account of that persons promi.
hence as Union party politician All this Is
exceedingly silly, as an instants reflection
on the fact that no adminis.ra alton would seek
to bring itself into disgrace BY nesdleasy
proving its sppointees to be criminals, will
satisfy any clear mind. The Journal harps
on what it regar Is as the insuficiency of the
testimony in the Marshall Hanson case, lsf
KendalD as though that were the only point
In the offences Charged on him-Ksnda all.
Inc editor has surely overlooked the fact
that the grand jury of the district of Louisiana
! have presented Kendall on their oaths as being
guilty of other robberies previous to that of
| the Marsh all Hanson case
Now, it strikes as that the prompter of the
journal in this matter is no other than it,
prompter in the Kinney case, an individual
imbued, from former associations, with stuth
western views of the propriety of fllibuteriag,
who is, besides, one of the suretes on Ken
dall's boni to the Post Office Department. t
| the editor will take tho trouble to put the
| question plumply to its prcmpter, the reply
will embrace an admission of the fact we
! S ate above, which renders him a very unsafe
advisor, indeed, if the Journal Of Commeree
is sooking as we certainly believe it to be,
oaly to do Justice and protect the public ir.
| teres: in this case as in all others That the
| wisest, most experienced, and those of the
purest intentions, are at times deceived, is
proved past peradvonture in the cours> of the
Journal of Ommsree on these Kinney ex.
petition and ex.Postmaster Kendall cases
