MP MOTIEYS RECALL.

Having carefully read and considered Mr.
Motley's long letter to Gov Fish, inveighing
against the matter and manner OF his recall,
and the Secretary's shorter but able and
cogent response thereto, we shall not conceal
our regret that the latter was ever rendered
necessary by the former. We think few will
doubt that the advantage in this polished but
pungent controversy is decidedly with Gov.
Fish, who eyinces therein, along with
that suavity which no one ever ques-
toned, a forensic ability and aptness
which he was not generally known to possess.
| His advantage in temper is very marked and
the felicity wherewith he seizes tho strong
points of his case, and makes them attest the
| groundlessness of Mr.. MOtley's assumptions,
renders his "No. 81" one of the cleyerest
papers of its class which ever challenged pub
lie attention and criticism. And yet, such is
our esteem for Mr. Motley, that we could wish
that it had not been necessary that this dis
patch should be written.
There turks at the bottom Of this contro-
versy truth which those who seek Offices for
themselves or their friends should take to heart.
Whoever ia accustomed to "read between the
"linesn will have perceived that Mr.. MOtley's
appointment to the Court of st. James must
have been pressed upon Gen. Grant with an
urgency which, though he deferred to it, he
did not the less keenly feel to have been ex-
cessive and annoying. Others, who are called to
make nominations to such high trusts, may feel
in like circumstances as Gen. Grant does but they
are not apt to let this feeling bo so clearly
manifest. They who seek appointments at the
Presidents hands are very likely to damage
their prospects by undue solicitation; and it
is but fair to them to make this fact palpable.
"Stand back Little, and you will see quite
Gas WELL" is on admoDition never more timely
than when addressed to those who seek place
or preferment at the hands of U. $. Grant.
