II affords us unaffected pleasure to make the
ment that the appointment Of A. O. Seaman esq, Su-
perintendent Of Public Printing, has been unanimously
confirmed by the Senate The opportunities Of the senior
editor Of the Jaon during the time that he printer to
the House Representatives for becoming thoroughly

were so abundant and his conviction to the integrity,
fidelity industry and ability with which he discharged
his duties decided that he could not but feel surprise
and regret when made known that his confirmation
delayed account Of charges Of dcelicton In bis
oee We knew that like most officers who adhere rigdly
to the line Of their duties Mr. Seaman had made enemies,
and that he had been the subject OF injurious rumor but
we satisfied that they originated in selfish II not in
malicious motives The result Of the investigation by the
Committee Printing proves that not deceived.
For three weeks the committee has been aborously
gagged in taking proof and investigating the entire official
conduct Of Mr.. Seaman. The utmost latitude was given
his We doubt whether any public officer has
been subjected TO searching ordeal This was
not only cheerfoy aequiesced in by Mr.. Seaman, but
courted the surest Of his complete yindicaton
We understand that the report Of the committee

secured from the Senate his immediate and unanimous
