From The N. Y. Herald's special of the
9Th we learn that T. w. Bedford, of this
city, has been appointed Register of a
Land Office in Nebraska, where, the
correspondent does not say. VIZ pre-
sumo. however, it is to fill the position
now occupied by Chas. G. Dorsey.
The appointment is excellent, cOnsid-
ering who made it, but it is a little
strange the friends of Mr.. Bedford did
not know that the position is not vacant
The Demo COpperheads go heavy on the
argument that The appointee should re-
feet the views of the appointing power !;
now, We doubt much whether MI. Bed
ford reflects the principles of A. John
son, and we know that he stands bitterly
opposed to the Radical mallory in the U.
S. Senate, which is really the appointing
power. Would it not be well for him
in the face of the recent elections-to
study consistency for we doubt much if
his Democratic stomach could retain an
Office from the hards of a Radical Sem
ate!
As no charge has or can be brought
against Mr. Dorsey, as he has neither
resigned and is alive and well, we believe
be has the right aud that it is his duty to
retain possession of his Office until the
Senate has a chance to express itself on
this appointment. And We hope be will.
