nsA- The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press states that Judge IT.
win, the United States judge for the West
ern district of Pennsylvania, will resign
his place, and that Attorney General Black
will resign his place in the present Cabinet,
and take that vacated by Judge Irwin
Judge Black is tired of his position. 1t is
really hard to bear He has innumerable
difficulties to meet. The President is a
hard taskmaster. He really allows Judge
Black no patronage. Every little Office in
Pennsylvania, which of right ought to go
to Black, the President monoplizes and
disposes of. If Mr.. Buchanan were young
man, and had ten thousand hopes for Ere
election to the Presidency, he could not be
more exacting id regard to the dispensation
of these little places Judge Black has had
no power to bestow, though many promises
to fulfill. His friends come here expecting
much, but getting nothing from him.
Weary of his official drudgery, and really
tired of politics (for which he never was
fitted) he pines for snuggery in the West
ern part of thu State, in which, with little
TO do, he may contemplate the "ingratitude
of Republics"

DR.. DAILY.-The State Journal makes the
following proper remarks upon the course
of DR.. Daily's injudicious friends:
We have felt no personal i'll will towards
DIR. Daily, and have no desire to add to the
odium that has already gathered over his
name. But we beg to say to his friends
that if they are wise they will say just as
little as possible to keep him, or his case, in
the public. mind. They can't stir either,
with any benefit to him. Whatever they
may think of the fairness of the trial in
which his reputation died, they had better
drop all censures of it till they publish the
testimony, and show just cause for their
| inlputations. While he stands convicted of
lewdness and drunkenness, by court Of his
own brethren, selected from his own district,
| by the evidence of witnesses of all churches
and no church, with lawyer to defend
| him, and conformation with the witnesses
to secure him against exaggeration or mis-
| takes, it is nonsense, or rather mischievous
folly, to impeach the verdict, and yet sup
press the evidence. We want to enter no
crusade against fallen reputation. It is a
mean business. But if his friends are not
wise enough to spare the reputation of the
court and the witnesses, and seek, in reliev-
ing him, to injure others, they may compel
4 those others, in self-defence, to crush into
| recoverable infamy a reputation that they
may now be willing to leave where it has
| fallen

Trial Trin OF the Wfnams Steamer.


The Winan's steamer, which is a novelty
in Naval architecture, being unlike anything
yet built for the sea, and propelled in a novel
manner, has had trial trip, which in des-
cribed in the Baltimore Sun as follows:
"At 81 o'clock, steam was begun to be
raised, and at IL o'clock, the steamer
turned gracefully from her moorings and
was headed down the Patapsco. With a
pressure of Sc pounds of steam, (half her Ca
pacity), satisfactory Roadway was made.
The points of the bow and stern barely
touched the water, and the even progress of
the vessel caused no commotion of the waves
but left smooth wake like groove. The
steamer passed Fort Carroll until oft North
Point, when she put about. On the return,
and when opposite Fort McHenry, the
steamer was greeted with salute of six
guns from the Fort. and in recognition OF the
compliment, the steamers flags were dis
played and the steam whistle blown. The
steamer, both in going and returning, was
greeted by the crews of all the craft in the
river with cheers, waving Of hats, and other
demonstrations of a like noture. The aver
age speed attained was about IL miles an
hour. Ventilation below decks was perfect
ly preserved during the running OF the ma
chinery, and at no time was the thermome-
ter above $50 Fahrenheit. We believe the
builders regard the trial as satisfactory, and
a guarantee of success when a greater dis
lance is attempted.

PETS" by the new invention of carpet
sweepers, must feel grateful. Couldn't the
thing be introduced out this way The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican says of

We are assured by such that good one

it, with an immense saving of elbow effort
and back bending, and what is better than
all, Bridget says, raises no dust sat all, at

would, perhaps, be imagined a revolving
brush on wheels, encased in box with par
titions for taking up and holding the dust
and dirt, the whole directed by a long
handle, and working as easy as trundling
hoop-this is all, and the price for the vari-
Gus machines is from two to four dollars.

The Coast Survey.

A war is raging, in pamphlets, between
the superintendent and the assistants of the
q. S. q Coast Survey and an anonymous
writer-supposed to be an officer of the ma
vy--the latter of whom makes some startling
charges of extravagant expenditure and
scandalous corruption and abuse among the
scientific civilians who have had charge OF
that important service. The complainant
seems to make out strong case against the
surveying corps and if the exhibit be
true one there is no branch of the public
service in which peculation and extrava-
gance have been more rife than among the
corps of scientific gentlemen, who have been
laboring-as the world supposed-with the
most disinterested devotion for the advance
ment of science, and the good of the country
and the benefit of commerce. The discussion
will have the effect of drawing the atten-
ton of Congress and the country to the
subject, and probably an investigation will
be made into the matter, by which reform
and retrenchment will be instituted. The
ANONYMOUS writer insists that the work
shall be transferred to the officers of the
army and navy, among whom there are
many fully capable of conducting it-who
are now living in DEMONSTRATING pay
without service, who would enter with zeal
and ability upon this labor, and perform it
at a small cost, comparatively, to the gov
eminent The annual appropriations for
the coast survey have beens of late years,
from $445,0OO to $545,0oO, amounting,
since 1850 to 100000. Besides these ap-
preparations, large number of vessels be-
longing to the navy and revenue service,
and men and property belonging to the
other branches of public employment, have
been used in the coast survey, so that there
has not been a year, it is said, since lS49,
in which the actual cost of the survey has
not been equal to one million of dollars
But small portion of the work is yet COM
pleted, and it is propable that it will be ex-
tended through this and the next genera
ton if we continue to expand our coast. II
is important, therefore, to put a stop to its
extravagant management. 1t is said the
corps has become too potent by its influence
in Congress and its patronage outside, to be
controlled by the Secretary of the Navy
1t has got that functiouary pretty we'll I'M
der its thumb, and he needs the power o
public opinion to release him from its dicta
ton.

EDWARD EvERETT.-There are few men
living who absorb a larger share of public
interest than the Hon. Edward Everett
Having separated himself from politics, in
which his talents qualified him to act a
noble part, he has concentrated those talents
to one of the noblest objects. 1t is stated
that by his oratorical labors he has contri-
buted over fifty thousand dollars to the pur-
chase OF Mount Vernon, and still continues
his endeavors to secure for his countrymen
the home of Washington. Those who have
not heard Mr.. Everett describe the magni-
ficent mansion of the Duke of Marlborough,
in contrast with his classic portrature OF
"the modest home on the banks of the Poto-
mac" have yet to realize the power and
beauty of true eloquence.

The TARIFF.-It is not likely that any
thing will be done in the way OF making a
change in the tariff during the present ses-
sion of Congress. Mr.. Hunter, of Va,
Chairman of the Finance Committee in the
Senate and prominent candidate for the
Charleston nomination for the Presidency
against Mr.. Buchanan, offered resolution
that it is inexpedient to make any change
in the tariff during the present session.
Mr.. Bigler, of Pa, a candidate for the
Charleston nomination of Vice President,
trembling before the demands of the iron
master of Pennsylvania, offered an amend
ment, that it is inexpedient to make a
change for the purpose of increasing the
revenue.
Mr.. Bigler's amendment was voted down
almost unanimously. This rebuff which
the President has met with in his strong
hold, is an evidence of his declining strength
Mr.. Cobb is endorsed. The views of Mr.
Buchanan are no longer the views of the
Administration-Mr. Cobb is President
The Chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means, in all that he has done in prepar.
| ing bill in the direction of modification
of the tariff, has followed the plan of Mr.
| Cobb In the Senate Mr.. Hunter has done
the same thing. Now Mr.. Cobb changes
his pelicy-Mr. Hunter follows, so will Mr.
Phelps, in the House.

Herald says that leading Democratic
member of Congress unmasked himself a
few days since, and said that if the tariff bill

will be claimed by the opposition as the eff

crazy will be swept from power, in not only
