Mr. Editor: would thank you to inform me


Of the necessity of the appointment of certain


Iishnaan as Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, il


the commandant of the Corps has no use for
his services. II is too notorious that he has been
dashing through our streets at the expense OF the
Government without having performed one title
of service since his appointment, which took
place last winter. This person is one OF the two
foreigners who successfully competed with more
than one hundred native applicants, some of
whom we know to be the most worthy young
men of the country, for the office he now holds
as snecure, and which he only accepted, as
you sometime since intimated in your paper, to
test his superior popularity with the Executive
over his competitors. | hold no Office under the
Government; neither need nor desire one; but


should suppose no man of just views and no.
norable feelings could witness such an outrage
against right and justice without denouncing il in
unqualified terms


1t IS matter of great surprise, with those ac-
qualnted with the circumstances, how this in
cumbent ever succeeded against such odds; nor
would the surprise be lessened were it known by
what means the object was accomplished. We
have 1t from good authority, that certain coun-
tryman OF this new Lieutenant Ga lessee ofseven
grog-shops in New York. came on to Washington
and demanded of the President that his friend
should receive the appointment in the Marine
Corps at the Navy Yard in the District OF CO.
lumbia, as remuneration for his political servi-
ces rendered 10 the President and his party in
New York, by the influence he was able to
bring to bear upon the elections through the in
strumentality Of the fequenters of his seven grog-
shops (sinks of corruption, vice and misery--the
special concerns of ioreigners.) Did not this can
ddate for the vacant Office obtain letters here from
Richmond, Virginia, and from there to the dis
penser OF favors here, to give his Recommended
tion a sort of widespread and general character
and to avoid the appearance of having no other
sanction than that of his grog-shop patron from
New York? And why should the late Speaker
of the House of Representatives have counte-
nanced this mans pretensions so far as to have
added his influence by giving him letter of re-
commentator?


NOTE BY THE ED1ToR.--We cannot impart
satisfactorily the information asked by our cor
respondent; nor can we yet account for the ap-
pointment of that foreigner in any other way than
the wantonness of party considerations As to
the non-performance of any service by the Lieu
tenant alias (by assumpton) Colonel -, of
the United States Army, we may suppose he has
occupied his time in making preparation for his
Northern tour Of pleasure, asswe understand he
says he is going to Saratoga Springs this summer
acith Mr.. Van Buren; but whether in the charac-
ter of lile-guard or body-servant, we did not
learn.
