WANT OF POLITENESS.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE PRESS. Sm, —And so the real charge against Mr Marsbmau is want of politeness to the Secretary for Public Works! Now, sir, judging from Mr Marshman's appearance I should say he was very short of that commodity. But rumor answers the charge for Mr Marshman, and pleads provocation. Well, sir, rumor is often mis-in-formed, and it may, or may not be, on this particular occasion. But, sir, it would be no stretch of imagination to believe that Mr Marshman has had great provocation. Every one will understand how easy it is for a Government to thwart an officer beyond endurance, and if your readers will take into consideration the length of time Mr Marshman has been in the Government service— twenty-two years — and the good character he has always borne until this present Government took office, I think they will acquit him of being the monster the present Government is trying to make him appear. , Yours, &c., Eae Brand.
