MIR. MACyEACHs DISSECTION.
The decision OF The United states SUI
preme C0urt, which was quoted in these
dispatches to-day, that a civil officer could
not resign aud divcst himself Of the duties
Of his office without the consent OF the ap-
pointing power, has created no little COM
motion here among those cOnycrslnf with
the facts in the case Of Attorney Genera,
MacNeagh'S descrtion OF his Office. His
conduct, il IS believed, would render him
liable to impeachment for abandoning
grave and responsible duties which he had
sworn to faithfully iulfl. II is not believed
that the President will even accept his re-
signation. The appointment and contirma-
ton Of 2 successor only will relieve Mr..
Macy eagh Of lis official obligations 10 the
trust he has apparently betrayed.
