That chronic oficeholder,
the Hon. Michael Hahn, has
received the grand bounce at
the Venerable .gi 1T
pensioner, Henry S. Foote.
OF Tennessee, was presented
to the senate as superintend-
ent Of the New Orleans mint.
The reason for the change is
said to be the action of SUPER
intendent Hahn in the late
election in the Third DISTRICT.
He was accused of aiding the
canvass of Mr.: Acklin by keep
ing Merchant in the field, Nand
this seems to have been sufi-
cient ground for his removal,
There will be u stalwart howl
over the appointment OF the
ancient Tennessee politician,
of course. 1t will be regarded
as reflection upon the par
ty' in Louisiana, and will be
resented accordingly. The
rea! motive for it will be that
be gets a lucrative position to
which many OF the local poll
ticians consider themselves
entitled. He will not be con-
firmed before steps will be
taken to GUST him. That may
be safely relied on. The Lou.
isiana Radical allows no
poaching on his preserves
without fight. Let Mr.. Foote
beware.-N. O. Democrat.

THE election Of Simmons and ap-

poses to be avenged upon the Presi-

this result, no doubt, to the triumph
of Conkling's and Buffers forces.
