Their Exit from Onice---IIis Perverse

Asserting its constitutional Func-
lions.
We had the pleasure on Saturday last
OF a conversation with Mr.. Leonard of
Parllersburg, the Assessor of United
States Internal Revenue for this Con-
gressional district. Mr.. Leonard was
superseded a few months ago by Mr..
Stealey of CIarksburg, because he
would not bow the knee to Baal. He
was called upon to declare his fealty,
pay up his contributions to the "third
party movement" inaugurated at Phil
ndelphia last August, and he declined
To do either. Therefore his head went
of. BY patiently biding his time, how
ever, and holding fast To his integrity,
Il has been restored to him again, and
he now wears it more firmly than
ever. for it is not in Mr.. Johnson's pow
or to remove him except for dereliction
nf duty The reign of political terror
ism is past, thanks to the Civil Tenure
bill, and the days OF the zone man
power" are ended.
Mr.. Leonard informs us that il is his
intention to restore to place all of his
subordinates who We're removed for
their political principles. He considers
that much done as vindication of
himself and themselves, and he is en-
lirely right Every true Union man,
on re-enterinS on his duties, or every
new appointee, should prescribe the
same rule to himself So much is due
To- the Union party. by virtue of whose
