machinery is all working SO well, that one can
scarcely hear the creaking of wheel or the friction
OF cylinder The guillotlne is quite rusty from
dlsuse and the dread of its horrible blade IL only
remembered as a fearful dream. There are NO
more decapitations here and the conservation of
the first three months of the administration has
passed away, and things about the Executive de-
partmens wear aspect pleasant and benign and

"Cam S a summers morning.
The Cabinet, we are officially and reiteratedly in
formed, so far from discordant-so far from in
trgulng against each other and the administration,
are just as harmonlously cooperative, as
The happy band of brothers,
From the old granite State"
Sul, we expect Mr.. Buchanan will be transferred
the government-that Mr. Walker, if he remains in
the Treasury so long, will only remain until modi-
ncation OF the tariff shall have been contaminated.
ne routine OF business, the posting of the books,
&c, In every bureau of every department, is under
process OF completion for the annual Executive re-
ports to Congress. And, as g a new broom sweeps
cean, we shall anticipate this year unusually spe-
cc, clear and interesting DEVELOPMENTS of the one
rations. OF each of the departments We expect,
particularly, from the Postmaster General an lmpor-
tant report upon the new postage law, wth.the de-
liberate deductions of the p. M. G that the new
system is detective In It's organization, inefficient in
Its receipts, and prospectlvely mpracticabe to the
independent subsistence of the various and multifa-
rious operations of this great branch OF the public
service.
The Postmaster General and his assistants have
been kept as busy this summer their papers
and letters as house carpenters in new county,

new law by country deputies, upon the official re.
ports OF deputies, upon contracts and proposals for
contracts, &c. &c, has come IN by bags full OF let
tiers per diem About 1869 of the little Deputies the
receipts of whose offices vary from one hundred
dollars to cents, have resigned since the adop

under the old law, has saved many little sixpenny
offices from utter extinction.
Among the most curious inventions patented OF
late, are the artificial Jaws, by DIR. John Allen, OF
New Orleans. A pair of lantern Jaws, whether thin
from loss of teeth want of esh filled out by
the insertion OF this apparatus as round and natural
as be- 1t is certainly not only an ingenious In
vention, but one which will bring back many
sunken.jawed old bachelor, and many sharp and
meat-aXe physlognomy of an old maid to the STAN
dard of five and thirty. Back
"To the days of their firtations,
long time ago."
We expect in few days to have something to say
for the edfcation of Senator Dickinson, OF New
York, that will be very acceptable to his constitu-

Colonel Medil second assistant postmaster-gene-
raj, has gone off short visit to Ohio for the ar
rangement of his private affairs and for all we know
