The London Quarterly Reriew, a journal
claiming high literary reputation as well as
nice critical acumen, IN an article upon the style
and contents of the Presidents Message, con-
structs this lucid sentence:
"The best portion of the Message is con-
spicuous by the absence of any mention of the
outrage on the Trent"
1t surely would not seem very difficult ex-
plot to state that, among the possible topics of
the Message there was one conspicuous by its
absence and an English university man might
reasonably have been supposed capable of in
telligibly adding that this negative feature was
the best thing in the Message. The writer, how
ever, completely fails in this simple attempt,
and envolves sentence of perfect nonsense
1t is amusing to hear him remark of the Pres
ident, in the same article, that he, "after ALL
speaks like a man who had meaning, although
his education has not enabled him to express it."

AN HONEST OFFICIAL.--W. ]. lIamersley,
late postmaster at Hartford, in September, 1861, 4,
settled with the federal government for his en-
tire term of eight years incumbency. lie paid
a balance due of $3l2l according to the de-
partment's account. But the ex-postmaster
believed there was still some government money
in his hands, and requested the department to
review his account. On this being carefully
done, errors were discovered in favor of the
United States, running back through Pierces,
Buchanans and Lincons administrations,
amounting to the, sum of $3,9jS. This was
lately paid over by Mr.. Hamersley, and he
holds a receipt therefor, Theirecovery of al
most $4,000 is entirely owing to the integrity
of the ex-postmaster, for the department had
closed its accounts, and would never have
thought of hunting up errors. Such a man
ought not TO remain out of office. In these
days of corruption and defalcation, it is refresh
ing to meet with an instance of pure integrity
