CITY INTELLIGENCE.
CArrAn DlRliiso.--rhe Doorkeeper Of the
House. Captain Darling, Of New York came here
In December an avowed National American In
the course Of few weeks he went over TO the
" Republicans" !" and was by them nominated for
poorkeeper. We perceive by the New York
Times that he Is not agreeable to Ills new friends
The Washington correspondent OF that journal
Mr.. Simontou, thus denounces him 4 IN sti q
q understand that effort is proposed TO be
made, with fair prospects OF success, TO expel
Captain Darling from his position as Doorkeeper
Of the Hoese Of Representatives. Never in the
course Of my experience, have / known public
officer to lose the confidence and respect of his
political friends 70 completely and SO suddenly as
has the present Doorkceper.
aRbe chief cause Of his unpopularity is the reck-
less Violation Of an hundred promises which, he
might have been excused from making in the be-
ginning, but which subsequent events would seem
to indicate that he never had the slightest inteu
ton Of ful6lling This, added TO an offensive su-
perciliousness of manner towards those whom be
has so reedlessy disappointed would only be just
ly rebuked by his expulsion"
II would appear from the above that the " Re-
publicans" caught Tartar when they elected
Capt Darling.
