Exit PIeasOUfon.

AS is fully set forth elsewhere in this paper,
the President to-day relieved General Alfred
PleasontOn from duty as Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue. This action was taken, it will be
perceived, under the provisions of the tenure of
Office lsw,-sn unpleasant step, doubtless, for
the President to take, but one rendered neces-
sary by the determination of the late incumbent
of the position to hold it after his neficiency as
an officer was demonstrated, and when his occu-
Paney of the place could only result in hinder
ance 10 the public business.
This termination of a protracted and some
what bitter contest can hardly surprise any one
who has kept himself advised Of current events
and it is not likely to be regretted by those who
have had opportunity to understand the manner
inwhch the affairs OF the internal revenue off ce
have latterly been conducted.
In regard TO Nr. Douglass, who has been
appointed TO I'LL the vacancy thus created, il is
only necessary to say that the public have the
fullest confidence not only in his personal expe-
rience in and knowledge of the duties of the
Office, but also in his integrity and fixed deter
minatiOn to discharge them with credit to him
self and TO the satisfaction OF the country.

Improvements and Public Sentiment

If any evidence were needed as to the wishes
OF this community In regard to public improve
ments, such proof was amply furnished by the
fact that very large number of our represent
atiye men should assemble together the hottest
evening of the season, under an anonymous call
TO discuss the subject and to hold up the hands
of those engaged in the important work of lift
ing Washington out from its late unenviable po-
sitiOn.
But such testimony is not needed, here, where
the temper of the public is well understood
although II may be useful in showing to the
country at large that the people of the city are
aroused and thoroughly in earnest In their
determination that the capital shall be made
worthy of the nation. Upon this general point
there can hardly be said to be two opinions. The
only open question is as to the manner and form
of accomplishing the end in view; and In this
aspect of the such assemblages as that of last
evening must be of great good in bringing about
a thorough understanding between conflicting
interest, and In harmOnizing points of difference
in a general subject upon which nearly every
body is agreed.
There cannot be too wide or too frequent in
terchange Of opinion on a subject of so much
importance as Improvements and taxation and
We think it apparent therefore that q mistake
was made by the managers of this particular
movement in calling the meeting anonymously
and also in partially Officeringit with gentlemen
not present. The first step was a sign of weak
ness which doesnot exist in this case; the second
is sort of impertinent fraud, which, though
winked ut on account of its common use, must in
the end do harm rather than good to any cause
in behalf Of which IL is practised.

Child fOgging school teachers 10 not get of 20
well in England as in this country. Catharine
Hatch, goyerness of an infant school, was
charged at one Of the London police courts, on
the 18th ult, with having numerically logged
boy Of four years Of age. The child was pro-
duced in court, when his back was found to be
one mass Of bruises, and presented the most
shocking appearance. The defendant stated
that the child was naughty. and had bit her
hand Although three women stated that
her humanity and gentleness were quite proven
bal, the magistrate said il was of the utmost
importance that the children of the poor who
went 10 infant schools should be protected from
extreme violence. The child, he said had re-
ceived inhuman punishment from cruel woman
who had lost her temper, and who had used a
heavy leather strap, a most improper weapon
for child He sentenced the prisoner 10 Il DAYS,
imprisonment, with hard labor.

The proverbial uncertainty OF the law is well
illustrated in the experience of Richard Peer.
Richard was divorced in Iowa year ago by the
laws of that state But on going 10 New jersey,
be was tried in Newark for DESERVING his wife,
and although he presented in his defense his
certificate OF a divorce, which was good and valid
IN Iowa, he was adjudged to be married man,
and found guilty. Richard was assured by his
learned lawyer that there was something in the
constitution about the records of the courts in
one being received in the other states, and that
he needn't Worry; but, New jersey being a
foreign land, the jury couldnt see it. SO Richard
languishes As aforesaid, with his indignation
about equally divided between Iowa divorce
courts and New Jersey juries.

Agitation seems to be the life of the physical
as well as Of the moral world. The conclusion
OF the air. it is asserted will drive off insects that
Prey upon fruit trees, and will also improve the
atmosphere 30 as to clear away the malarious
yspOTs that produce fevers. At a recent meet
ing Of prominent citizens of Jacksonville, Fla,
a gentleman living in the vicinity stated that
the blowing OF the whistle of the locomotive run
ming on 4 new railroad passing through his
orchard had driven off the ''eurculio.'' The ex-
plOsiOn Of powder had a similar effect in another
place. 1t is argued, also, that conclusion of the
air will destroy al animalcules and render
siekly localities perfectly healthy. AS proof OF
the latter theory stated during the rebellion
in consequence Of the repeated discharges of
gunpOwdeT, neither yellow fever nor any other
epidemic disease prevailed in the cities of the
south. 1t Is also fact that during yellow fever
EPIDEMIC few thunder storms occur.

SHALL WOMEN HAVE CHANCE To LEARN
TRADEs?-TheOdore Triton writes to the St
Louis Labor Congress that If he could be at
their meeting he would advocate a rearrange-
ment of their crafts, particularly of the finer
mechanical pursuits, so as to give to women an
equal chance with men to earn livelihood by
well-paid toll. He says that if the capitalists
have hitherto oppressed the worSingmen, SO
also the workingmen have hitherto oppressed
the wOrkingwOmen, and if they, the working
men, when a woman is allowed to learn a trade,
cannot bear to see her soiling her white hands
with its CRIME, and they want to get her out of
it, why, let them seize the first golden chance
10 marry her out of it.
