One conspicuous indrmity Of the

Gdsette il his inability to control his
personal animosities sufficiently to
give q fair statement of facts in .

attacked Senator Harlan some time
ago, without the desired success.
TO many who had entertained . IA
vorable opinion of this correspond
ent, it seemed unaccountable that all
others, in . city where much corrup-
tion is believed to exist, and where
are supposed to be many abuses and
iniquities that might be ierretted out
and exopsed, to the advants &c Of the
public, he should have selected as
the special objects on which to be-
stow the untiring efforts of his 10.
quiring mind, and to lavish the
labors of his caustic pen, two mon oi
all others accredited among men Al
honest and upright, and on whom
with his utmost ingenuity he haa
failed to fasten any moral dcreliction
Inveterate personal animosity, un
restrained BY discretion or q higl
sense of justice, is the only plausibl'
! solution yet found for this mystery.

Irregularities while in control of. or

were based on information which we

actuased By no feeling Of personal
