ing its consideration, Mr.. BALDWIN, OF Va, took
occasion 10 say, that as chairman Of committee
rccentlyengsged ia certain very searching invcsti
cations, he and the whole committee had arrived at
the conclusion that the present Commissary- Gene
raj. Northrop. had conducted the business OF his
office with degree OF system, energy, forecast and
providence exhibited by but few officers of the gov
crument. II he bad been unsuccessful, 1t was.due
to the interference OF others with his plans. II was
due TO Justice that this should be said
Mr.. MILES thought the capacity for commanding
success an indispensable qualification, at this time
in PUBLIC officials. lfColone NorthrOp could not
command success, he should give way to some more
fortunate person. He believed that the Executive
should be brought to feel the weight of public opin-
ion and made to recognize its just and rightfl in
huence.
