But there Is another class of females who
do more real harm, are moro offensive to

II must be manifest 10 the President from
the tone of the press, which reflects the senti-
meu's OF our whole community, that in the
absence Of more definite explanation than
Mr.. DoucLAss has yet made, his retention
in the Office Of marshal Is not agreeable. He
must explain away the offensive features of
his Baltimore lecture before he can regain the
honorable place he has held in this commuu-
ity. or course II he is retained there Is neces
sary business which must be transacted, and
which will necessarily bring the marshal and
citizens in communication, hut 1t will not be
an agreeable intercourse. As the case now
stands or people believe that they have been
slaudered, and Il Is due to them that the mat
tcr shall be inquired into. II Mr. DorGL VS.

will purge himself. We shall be perfectly sat-
