PRAIsEwoRTHy.-When we do find an oasis il the desert of political life, are moi willing to pasi il by unnoticed, and therefore we take pleasure 1T chronicng the following fact, winch we find stated in the columns of one of our oniemporaries:--"Ws announced some time since the appointment of Mich ael Hoffman the position of Naval Officer, at the Port of New York, an office having the patronage gift. Mr. Hoffman has two grown up sons, young of talents and integrity, well qualified to fill two of these offices. We understand he has refused tn use his official patronage to promote the pecsnary interests of his own family. and declines to appoint either of them to a cerkship His family are poor, and he prefers that they should remala 80, rather than grow rich from patronage bestowed by himself

 Whatever we may think of the policy, we cannot but admire the principles which dictate noble an acI.
