| A little cooler-a little more enduiabe-but pre-
cious little. Stiff breeze Notwithstanding, from the
north west. Atmosphere full of white couds-dus
on the avenue the rise again-green spectaces
also. Clothes now worn by fat people day can
be washed in their own grease. Fat people melt
away-middling fat ones stew away-but lean
naturally fry right up, like thin slice of middling
in hot oven. Upon each of these counts, we re-
fer you 10 Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. Cave Johnson, and
Mr.. Richie respectively. And yet we think your
lean men are the toughest. They undoubtedly are
IN hot weather. For instance, in addition to the
heat, It takes two bottles Of pop and uap to bring
the sweat out Of the jacket of Father Richie, with
the thermometer up to the standard of SO ana 3d.
He Is rae salamander, and says he could stand II
all the year round, provided they did not put him
10 work upon the streets of Washington" where
he so generously desires the ''scribbers" for the
New York papers TO go, and earn their honest bread
Poor, dear old pap, was ne angry wild US I! Never
mind. we won't do so no more, for Old Hickory has
liked it all right. He says that when the money Is
wanted it will not be forthcoming" Cruel, cruel
old man No wonder our dear old pap thought the
Generals election would be curse to the country.
Cabinet Council to-day, but whether they are de-
batting Mexican, Texan, Sub-Treasury, or Pet
Bank imposltlons, or Deputy Postmasters, Consuls,
Charges, or Collectors, cannot say. The late re-
gulatlons or preliminary movements of Mr.. Secre-
tary Walker, for strict accountability OF the depo
stories Of the public moneys are very creditable,
and cannot fail of meeting the appreciation of the
country. But do they not have an awful squirting"

that there is an understanding between the banks
and the Organ, that Father Richie is to lie low, and
keep exceedingly dark upon this great question of
the plan TO be adopted for the saekeeping transfer,
and disbursement of the public moneys! Can it be
that The administration is afraid to fall back upon the
Sub-Treasury? Is itposslble that the abandonment
o. this measure is decide the abandonment OF the
old hunSers by the powers that be, and that to
be? If not, why Is that the organ, prompt and
unequivocal in announcing reduction of the tariff,
has such ''still small voice. upon the Subj rea-
sury. Is Father Richie afraid of the hue and cry
that will follow his announcement OF any position
upon this important measure! He will have to
meet the responsibility. Why not meet it now? He
will have to swallow these iron boxes, why not then
make up his mind to the dreadful task! Some say
that Father Richie has strong prediction for the
Exchequer, next after the Pet Bank system Why
does not the editor come out and let us know what
the country is to have for the safeguard OF the pub
lie moneys!
The present system is liable to corruptions on
the grandest scale. We have the fullest confidence
in Mr. Walker, but still the evil is in the system,
and only needs evil agents and occasion for its
development and exercise The present repositories
are getting rich from the of the heavy be-
longing to the public committed 10 the temporary
custody OF these agencies Are the public funds to
continue thus to be used for the benefit Of corpora
TONS and private brok rs and money changers Is
this system to continue to be the great object of the
collector of taxes from the people-the aggrandize
ment OF mere shavers, whether corporate or ndlvld-
ual! We afraid that Father Richie dare not
say even "Nons re,T0Hs" TO these inquiries, how
ever great the satisfaction he might thereby give to
the country at large
10 the appointment, as supposed, OF John b. Macy,
now of Cincinnati, to the examination of the deposit
tories OF the public moneys Some further facts con-
| nected with Mr. Macys late movements, have been
since furnished US. 1t appears that in 1875,
Macy was president of the City Bank of Buffalo
lie was then connected with Lewis Eaton, who has
been since mail agent of John TYLER. The Bank
crippled-was entirely knocked off Its legs, and it
blew up in the general explosion. After this, Macy
removed to Toledo, Ohio. In 1910, we find him
Staging with the boys at Dayton, that immortal
song,
"of Tppecanoe and Tyler too.
In 1Si5 we find him IN the lobby, urging, through
the Legislature OF Ohio, resolutions recommending
% III, President elect, the appointment OF Hon r. J.
Wakerto the Treasury. We also find him officia
ing al Louisville, very adroltly chairman of the
Cincinnati Democratic Committee OF Invitation,
and waiting upon Capt. Polk in that capacity Still
later, it said he used successful exertions among
the members of the House Of Representatives, in
this city, in getting their signatures to paper re-
commenting Mr. Walker as keeper Of the public
moneys And, last OF all we hear that Mr.. Macy
has got small spoonful of Treasury gravy himself
IN the little appointment he has received, as sup
posed OF examiner of the condition of the deposito-
rics OF the public funds There is nothing so be-
coming politician as the motto SO successfully
rractised by Mr. Macy, ..'the end justifies the
/ cans"
knowledge the Christian religion his friend, the Sec
rotary of War, will treat him like Christian and,
that II the Major will only consent to make single
meal upon pigs feet pork steaks, spare-ribs, or ham
and eggs, he shall have an Office The Secretary of
War otherwise, we presume, maintains the justlfia-
bic opinion that Christian is under obligations

An act for the better regulation of the Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company passed the
Board of Common Council of this city last night
unanimously. II imposes fine Of $40 in every case
| in which said company shall bring car or cars
within the limits of the Corpnratlon by steam. The
act has yet pass the Board of Aldermen. 1t is de-
signed 10 the railroad company into a reason
able reduction of their fare-s2 being considered as
| rather exorbltant for forty miles travel If the act
IS passed, and the company persist in their ~ pas
senger, they will be subjected an expense Of at
least $4,000 per annum in teams, drivers, nc, for
the transfer OF passengers and freight from the depot
without the CerporatIont to the present depot Penn
sylvana avenue, and rice We trust, for the
sake of the public interest and convenience, and for
the interest OF the railroad company itself, that some
reasonable reduction OF the fare between Washng-

this movement of the local authorities of Washing
ton Otherwise, the safety of the road, and of the
passengers over it, from accident and the hazards
| Of life may ultimately be endangered for reduc-
ton in that odd half dollar has by no means appeased

| We should have noticed some days SINCE a case
Of most honorable independence, worthy OF the
Young Yankee of whom it is recorded. Ii is known
that most ofiice-seekers who get out of funds in
Washington, fall back upon their friends, their WITS
or upon those slight of hand tricks SO peculiarly
confined to light-fngered gentlemen. But Mr.
Baker, OF Connecticut we believe. who came on
here for an office and found none, after he had found
himself ont of funds, scorned to fall back upon any
