The New York Evening Post and Gov. Reeder.—The friends of the New York Even- ing Post, notwithstanding its infidelity to many of the cardinal principles of the Consti- tution, baye, for many years, claimed especial consideration for that paper by reason of its stern and nen-compromising opposition to all kinds of official extravaganee and peculation on the part of officers of the Federal Goyern- ment. The Post has been beld up as a jour- nal which never failed to rebuke tho official conduct of any Government officer, who used his public position to advance his private pe- euniary interests. Recent events haye shown, however, that hatred of Franklin Pierce is stronger with the Pos: than its assumed devo tion to official integrity and economy in those who hold subordinate positions in the Govern- ment. That paper of August in commenting upon an article of Monday last in the Stor, of which the following is an extract— ‘For reasons not to be considered ina hasty paragraph, because they are connected with every item ef the history of the organization and growth of the Territory of Kansus, a dead- ock has oceurred between the repres of the people of that Territory and the er- nor.

At any rate, what- ever may be iusisted, we are certain that he will not, no matter who is the officer, or how high he may be in the confidence of the coun try. If the abolitionists wish to raise an issue with the President because he does not hesi- tate to crush out corruption in high places, no body will object. They will not deter us from denouncing the official acts of Governor Reed- er, for which he is removed, while we refrain from any impeachment of the motives or pur- poses Which actuated him in their commission. “Cutting it Fat.”—Those interested in the well-being of the public schools of this city will de well to read and ponder on our report of the doings of the Council Board yesterday afternoon, on the bill to make a general super- intendext of the schools, wherein they will see plainly that the only object which the Know Notbiags of the Councils had in connection with the matter, was to make for some one of their huvgry partizans, in our own city, an office to reward his political labors—for they voted down a proposition to advertise for a Proper person, so as to got the best possible officer for the salary paid, come from where he whose children rely on our public schools for their education, well know. The debate de- velopes the fuct, it strikes us, that Mr. Coun- ‘ilman AtLee—the gentleman who, not long ‘inee, so indignantly repelled the charge of Ympathy with Know Nothingism—is fishing wr the place. The soundness of our judgment a the premises will, however, be tested at the text meeting of the Board of Trustees, when he election will probably be made. The idea ‘f devolving such duties on Mr. Atlee is, to ay the least of it, amusing, however unfortu- ‘ate its consummation might be for the future t the public school system of this city.
