From time TO time various charges, insinuatons.
and the like, against the Secretary of the Treasury
have been detailed to by his enemies, and among
the latest the following, which we record mere
y to show how closely the movements Of Mr.. Walker
are observed. gentleman who stands good deal
of the forenoon in the Treasury Department, charges
upon Mr.. Walker:-


lst That he has a under pay from Mississippi In
the treasury Department who occupies neither desk
nor broom and who il masked under three different
names IN as many quarters Of the Department; but whose
only employment appears to be gather scraps of
the Secretary.


I'd That the messengers, Messrs Petit Lovejoy and
Maginns in the absence of Mr. Walker, act as a CON-
mtee OF three upon his letters, deciding upon such

business.


3D. That forty nephew of lady relative of the

Una, ne men applied TO the lady question: who straight

No more removals TIL the meeting OF Congress,
when II is expected that the members will bring in
suiiiclency OF candidates to fill all vacancies that
may be made IN the persons of nephews, sons,
grandsons and cousins-german. We do hear that
Mr. Buchanan declared this very day that he had or
10 Wings IN his department. whom he would like to
remove, but that he was afraid he could not get De-
mocrats OF sufficient ability, clerks, to fill their
places. Afraid well may the Secretary be afraid,
if he has made such declaration that


And we have awcrd to say to Martin Rannahan,
the last martin left at the White House from little
Martins admnstratlon-we mean the polite door
keeper OF the executive mansion. He has suspend
ed the allowance OF water to visitors by refusing
longer to keep any in the ant-chamber He says
he can't afford to be constantly running to the pump
for the accommodation OF strangers upon the stipend
Of $50 per month He earns his money without
that. Still we insist that the President orders

A friend at our elbow, "Le Diabte du Boiteaur,"

a mldshlpman from the service tor fighting duel ;

Prieur, two distinguished duests, to the two most

FORE compelled to appoint in the two instances
cited, OF the code OF honor was certainly as well
to select the most distinguished, as approximatlng
more nearly to the maximum OF public opinion
The President, the contrary, has shown, by pre-
cept and by practice that he detests this barbarous
bloody custom of settling disputes by powder and
ball.
