Ilesnake and owl oft dwell in harmony

rous defender Of Andy "the creator" is
hailed with pleasure by the inmates.
Thus Merton introduces him:
"Mr. Pollock is a radical of the dark

The u. S. is the head of the Executive
branch of the Government, and has the
power to remove incapacitGted officers"
Morton IS too sharp to assume The I'M
tenabIe position Of Pollock. even though
it favor his own ends, but inserts into
PAWS platform the word ~"incdpGci-
tdted !" This would furnish a key 10
the situation ; if Dorsey was removed
for "incapacity" no word of complaint
would have escaped US. PAW, in his
private note TO US, says: 81 do not charge
that he dorsey has not done his duty

The Gland once Difficulty" Set
fled bY an Outrage.

The "Land Office Difficulty" was tenn
pOrarily settled last Friday evening by
an outrage more ~stupendous, if possible
than any which had preceded il jp the
DefarlOus attempt to Dust. for opinion )
sake, a regularly confirmed officer of
the United States.
On tina: evening Deputy U. S. Mar
shall, Dwight, made bis appearance in our
city, accompanied by the recently reject
ed nominee for the Office of Register, T.
w. Bedford, and served a writ Of Re.
pleFin, issued by Rienzi Streeter, Clerk
of the District Court, and taking posses
sion Of the Books, Plats and Fixtures of
the Office inthe name of the United States.
To this no resistance was or could be-
made, and Mr.. Dorsey handed them
over. So far matters seemed straight
enough, although no one knew here whose
affidavit the writ was issued on, or if any
was made to base the claim on only
that they were taken in the name of the
United States.
Bedford was rejected BY the Senate on
the 9Th. If Bedford ever had any right
TO the office his rejection by the Senate
did away with it entirely, and be became
a simple citizen, without even the shoddy
garment Of Andy to hide his political de-
fOrmity. Deputy U. S. Marshal Dwight

full knowledge Of Bedford's rejection,
