Such newspapers are, Of necessity,
rnenials. Their conductors must
sink their manhood. in order TO get
and retain their situations. Plenty
OF printers devils can be had,
cheap. for the purpose. The edito-
rial profession is one Of considerable
personal honor and many perqui-
sites. Unlike the householder, tail
or or shoemaker, the editor is always
heard by the public. His noise
makes him of consequence. Para
sites are everywhere to be found; and
in proportion ashley fear him or wish
to use him, they will fawn upon him,
make him presents and Jny him.
He pays no fare on railroads and
steamboats,, no bills at hotel and balls,
no admission TO threatres and con-
certs, and is bowed to on all sides;
and these are benefits highly appre-
ciated, in proportion as manhood, is
low. The printer necessarily learns
to spell correctly, and to punctuate
after q sort. 1t is no task to string
words together, however hard it may
be to Mink. And in proportion as he
lacks thought and is used by those
who own him, will the country edi-
tor deal in gossip, scandal, vitupera-
ton and invective. And thus is the
sqnalid Ignorance, the wretched ILL
teracy and the vicious gossip Of same
OF the country newspapers accounted
for.
There are many and some noble
exceptions, and they are increasing
all over the country. which is credit
able to the genius Of Young America
and the progress of mankind. Ifany
editor gets angry at TIE CABINET
for this article, it is proof of its gen
eral truth, though it may not be of
the policy OF publishing it. If any
one earnestly feels aggrieved, let him
be consoled by the reflection that it
is not meant to describe him. In
as he feels the need Of i'm
provement in the profession just so
far is he on the right way. rounds

G. d., Manktao, Minnesota, sub
mits the following:-"I see in your
issue of March Goth, the following
inquiry: Why is the President Of the
United States inaugurated on the 4th
of March ?" The following seems to
me to bethe most satisfactory answer
that can be given to the question.
The 4th Of March occurs on Sunday
only once in four hundred years. The
founders of our government were a
pious people, and in order to designate
a day in the year for the Inauguration
of their Chief Magistrate, which
could not infringe upon the sacred
ness of the Lords day Except once
in four centuries they selected the
4th Of March. "-Ioiel0 Blade.

How They Feel Down South.

The New York Herald's CORE
spondent met Jefferson Davis at
Columbia, South Carolina, and
writes an interesting account of the
visit. We make this extract:
After the reception there was Il
concert in little hall attached to one
of the hotels. Mr.. Davis attended
the concert, coming in after the audi
ence were nearly all assembled.
When he entered the people all rose
to their feet, showing as much re-
spect as subjects do to king, and
they remained standing until he was
seated, when they gave him long
round Of applause, at which he bowed
and smiled. AT the close of the con-
cert the pianist played "rhe Bonnie
Blue Flag" with an enthusiasm that
he had not shown in any of his per-
formances during the evening, and
again there was great uproar of APP
plause, mingled with cries of "Davis!
Davis!" The hero of the occasion
was not disposed to speak, and the
group of children who had taken
