LEGISLATED OUT.

Superintendent Wear of the National
Park, upon learning that neither he nor
his associates had been financially pro-
vided for by congress, declared his Inten-
ton of resigning. But this action seems
to be entirely unnecessary, as Col. Wear
ceased to be a government officer when
the sundry civil bill was signed. That
bill efiectually and summarily closed his
career and completely legislated hic' ont
of Office The only person left in the
Park who has any authority over it, is
Lieut.. Dan Kingman, who has care OF
the roads there. There will be an officer
ana twenty mounted soldiers there in a
few days to take charge of the Park.
Wear was in many respects a good
man, although not faultless w several
degrees. He will return to st. Louis
and, we hope, will be provided for by
Secretary Lamar, who seems to be
pleased with him. Military rule in the
Park has for several years been advncat-
ell by able men, and now that it is alb Iut
t, he tried, we shall watch the results
with anxious interest. We trust that
this succeeding regime may be more sue
csssful than the preceding, but have
grave doubts about it being so.
