THE assault of the redoubtable Binck-
ley on Commissioner Rollins yesterday,
will be explained perhaps by perusal
ofthe following extract from Mr.. Roll
Inns recent letter asking Mr.. BIS. dis
missal.
Mr.. John NJ. Buckley was appointed
Solicitor in August last. On the I'd day
of the following month I requested his
removal upon the ground that he was
a willful peIjurer, or so weak and cred
nlous as to be made the convenient tool
of corrupt and malicious men. Not
having changed my opinion of him
since That time, have assigned him no
duty whatever, and for the last five
months l do not know that he has even
ostensibly done a single hours labor
for the Government. 1 have repeatedly
urged his removal, and he has repeat
ediy drawn his monthly salary at the
rate of q, 900 per annum. Mr.. Blnckley
is VIGOROUSLY unqualified for his place,
l do not know that he even claims 70 DC
a lawyer. Certain it is he never under
took to practice law, and the farce o.
his employment as Solicitor OF Internal
Revenue 1 do not believe should pe
