IMPORTANT NATIONAL PAPERS, a &. e in th to be ready the Report of the Secretary »atmaster Genoral ; the high ut correspondence between anan, respecting Oregon ; the and comprehensive letter on the Enropean *, from our intelligent Paris Correspondent ; and voceedings in Washington to the latest hour, kc ow morning, the Mr. Benton and the Caucus at Washington, We understand th e course of Mr. Benton, h revolting from the caucus dictation at Washing ton, relative to the election of Mr. Dickene, Secre- of the Senate, and other officers, has given e to many of the exclusive frends of the ad- Be itso. We highly approve of that ,and so will every right-minded, independent nthe country approve the course taken by I ton in this matter. One of the first acts of Mr. Polk, on his acces- ion to power, was to destroy and scatter to the 8 old kitchen cabinet at Weshington, occupied the position, and exercised the power, of a great central dictator to the govern- r und settled, by caucus, at Washington, every ung conaected with officers and measures, as it d. It was the greatest weakness and error in Seneral Jacksou’s administration, to give en- einent and power to that overbearing clique, vdthe Kitchen Cabinet. Mr. Polk was enutled the gratitude of the country, and of all right minded men, when he removed it, and dashed Blur, Rives & Co. to the ground, when they ate to re-organize it the same reason that we applauded Mr. Polk ec’, we applaud Mr. Benton for the course nin defeating a new Kitchen Cabinet, 1 was attempt-d to be organized under the nose fthe President by Ritchie and Heiss. During the last summer, there were efforts made and schemes eacocted, among the small politicians connect- e1 with the administration, to construct a new Kuchen Cabinet, of which Ritchie and Heiss of | tie Union were to be the centre. We were well assured of this, and while we are willing that Ritchie and Heiss should get the printing of Congress and receive ihe wages of their labor, freedom of thought \l most strenuously resist, and so will every right minded man, the establishment of a ‘‘ power behind the throne greater than the throne itself.” If Mr. | Polk’: administration is to be supported, let it be supported in a fair, open, and honorable manner, by & reat, powerful and magnanimous party, and not » designing and secret behests of petty who have charge of the pots and pans. e sentiments we are persuaded Mr. Polk concurs, end alio the mass of the honest men of all s. If Mr. Benton continues to oppose all at- tempts fo reorganize a midwight influence, called a Kitchen C binet, uncer the present administration, ay calculate oa having the popular support to ent. To the great measures of the President we have no doubt the Missouri Senator will give his Warmn support. a vir the which Int Pre-Payment or Postace.—Under the present ow rates of postage, every letter or newspaper de- posited in any post-office in this country ought to be paid for in vance. Those who have never ught of the subject are not aware of the vast s which remain dead in of the large cities. Bushels upon sient papers are weekly refused at inthis city, Now, the government incurs { expense in the transportation of all this J ought inali cases to be remu ner carrier would be—not making Js of tran remun ration to depend upon the whim of the erson to whom the imatter wes despatched and ately brought. A great deal of money is yearly tin this manner, and unless the pre-payment sys- mi iz carried into effect, we fear that it will be necessary, for the support of the department, that the rates of postage should be raised to their former | standard. Besides having the effect of keeping the postage down, the pre-payment system will at the ime prevent many of the impositions practised anonymous correspondents, through the post- ice the object in mostcases being to tax the receiver vf the worthless letter with postage. Another advan- age of this system would be, that it would in a great measure cut off the communication between thieves and other scoundrels. At present, one of hese characters can drop his letter into the box without being seen by any one ; but, under the sye- tem we are advocating, the office clerk would see he superseription, and, should he suspect any thing rom that, would have an opportunity to sean the ace of the person who deposited it—and thereby the Post-Oflice Department would be a great aseig- antin the prevention of crime and detection of criminals We hope that the present Congress will take thie matter into consideration, and thereby carry out wat we believe to be the wish of a majority of the veople. Among the independent or cash currency journals, the system of pre-payment and low rates, have increased the power and circulation of the prees four-told to what it was under the old system The Postmaster General is right in recommending this reform in the new eyetem. same LanpLonps— Power or DiSTRAINING.—As the constitution and laws of this State will shortly he re- vised, and such alterations made in them as have een agitated for sometime past, we hope the atten- ion of the revisera will be called to the power which ‘he law, as it now stands, gives to landlorde in col- lecting their rents. By a stetute, which was carried through the legis lature through the influence of money, contracts be- tween landlord and tenants have a greater prefe- rence in the eye of the law than any other. In a breach of euch a contract by the tenant, the landlord has but to ewear that a certain amountot rent is dues and he can immediately seize the tenant’s property nd dispose of it, to satisfy himselt what is due, In every other case of breach of contract, the person rajured is obliged to pereue the ordinary course of a wesuit—to take the same remedy as he would to ecover the payment of a note of hand or any thing lee. Ll this principle can be at all incorporated in ur judicial system, it is unjurt to restrict it to land lords and give them a preference over others Bul why have itatall? Why should landlords have a more speedy way of collecting their rents than the law affords to other persons? Why should landlords or any other class be preferred at all? Weare in favor of expurgating all partial legiela- ticn from our statute books, and we hope that the vtention of the revisers will be drawn to the urbi rary method of collecting rent which the law gives » landlords. | Deata or Com.

Extra of the Police.-On Wednesday evening ven o'clock, three persons connect- ed with the Herald establishment were in conversation in the lower office, wher a person came in and teed RE e persons observed to the intruder, that it was not gentle manly conduct to listen to onversation others, He replied, ‘it is a d—d Twas not tening.” He was then asked if he had any business with the office. Ho said not. He was then requestedto leave, which he refused to do, and said it was a public office, 7, one else, aud he ed. The clerk, who had the charge of the office, took up the poker and threaten: | ed to use it, but the other persons belonging to the estub- | 4 cew be sent for and the fellow given into custody. One of the party was about to depart for this purpose, when the intruder said—"*You need nof go for an officer—I am one,” and drew his club, which he flourished toa con- siderable extent, and made a blow with it at one of the party; but ¢ warded off by snother, who caught | tly on the hand, but inthe struggle seve- ral panes of glass were broken. His name was then de- manded, but he refused to give it, and abused the whole party in no measured terms, at the same time knocking One of the reporters flat on his back with a blow of his fist. The alderman of the ward (Stoneall) was then sent Other assistance having ar- rived, the intruding officer was taken into custody and marched off to the station house in Gold street. On the way thitber, some ofthe prisoner’s fellow M. P.s arrest- ed an unoffending sailor as being one of the party crea- | ting the disturbance, but who knew nothing of the af- fair atall.
