Too late. ah too late. the old year is gone

had certified to false pay accounts
made up in his Office. His reply is the
publication of an acceptance by Sec
rotary Boutwell, Of a tclegraphic tender
of resignation by the late Assessor, a nd
also by the general expression of a:
willingness to have his books examined.
A resignation 50 soon after scutfling so
hard for an appointment, is remark
able but to resign by telegraph
denotes degree of haste most extra
ordinary, but which may be, in this
instance, very commeudable, whether
considered as a high regard for the
inter ests Of the public service, or as q
diplomatic check to disgraceful dis
missal 1herefrom. Get, out, or be
kicked out, is not very uncommon
warning sent from Washington to
officials whose services are no longer
desirable to the governme nt, and there
is not wanting a very strong suspicion
that such was the happy conceit en-
plcyed in this case to draw from the
late Assessor telegraphic resignation.
We do not believe every thing we hear,
but the late Assessor can certainly
inform us whether or not we were
correctly informed in Washington by
a distinguished Radical who told US
that Mr.. Ennemoser had to resign in
order to avoid a dismissal.
