Removing Rascals.

WAsHINGTGN, Feb. Attorney
General Brewster is under continual
fire in the local newspapers, aud be Ii
the subject of much criticism by men,
bers of Congress who do not know the
difficulties with which he has had to
contend in the administration of bis
Office. The latest story which Mr.. Brew
ster wishes denied is that Secretary
Chandler went to the Department OF
Justice and threatened to have that in
stitution cleaned out unless theprosecu.
tion of theiving marshals in the South
ern States was abandoned.
Mr.. Brewster Cameron, speaking for
the Attorney-General, says the story is
absolutely untrue. No cabinet officer,
Mr.. Cameron says, has protested against
the prosecution and dismissal of these
faithless officers. Protests have, how.
ever, been made by the friends of the
accused parties on the ground that their
removal from Office would demoralize
the machine in several of the Southern
States, and injure the Presidents
chances of obtaining delegations to the
Chicago Convention.
These represeD ta;ions have not been
needed. When rascals have been found
in the service Mr.. Brewster has re-
moved them, aud he will continue to do
30 in the future.
