criticising the conduct Of Prince Alexander
of Bulgaria, and General Ernroth, and i'll "$
posing the disorder existing on board Of

OF some person in authority, and he generally
exceeds the bound OF proprl"ty when lie says
anything derogatory to the character Of those
gentlemen. Free speech does Lot flourish in

Secretary Blaine made but little more I
than a water haul in securing the appoint ,
ment OF Judge Robertson as Collector OF Gus
at New York. Mr.. Robertson finds his
hands tied in every endeavor he MAY make 10
fill the Custom House with his halt breed
Messrs. Blaine and Robertson NAV

CURED to approve the appointments made by
the Collector before they can take e~ff-ca, no
