be TO pay them by the day when engaged
lntheIr official capacity together with q
reasonable travelling fee instead of allow
ing them heavy, salary whether they are
attending TO their official duties or not
am glad there are some who are in favo
of biennial sessions of the legislature. A
number of reasons can be maintained WHY
this should be done. The people would be.
less taxed for the support of Stete govern.
ment is one Of the reasons why. Another
is that we should be more likely 10 have
good laws with biennial sessions than with
annual ones, and should have the privilege
oftrying law enough to lest its utility
without its being altered The people
would be more likely TO ascertain what laws
are necessary and the best adapted to their
wants and the more so because thew
would have to abide by them two wears
good or bad.
One thing more and will wind up.-
That is the pay Of State officers and OF
members Of the Legislature. In settling
this point We should refer to the bes: mod.
els in the United States, and even then per-
haps there will be room for Improvement.
The salary of a Governor should not ex.
coed $1,000. That Of lieutenant Governor
not over 800. Treasurer not over $500
and all other State officers In proportion
Members of the legislature should receive
no more than S SO per day and 10 cents
mileage. The advantage Of low salaries
is two fold. We shall have short session.

with an unprincipled set of Office seekers
who caremore for theloaves and fishes than
they do for the interests of the people.
hope every citizen will begin to think the
matter over and be prepared 10 vote for

will guarantee to all men equal rights, and
that the people will be proud to adopt and

THE DEAD LETTER OFFICER.

| The Washington correspondent Of the
Portland Argus furnishes the following
Interesting description of the operations o!
that branch of the General! Post Office
Department TO which are transmitted all
uncalled for letters remaining in the va.
rlous post offices throughout the Union:
Among the places which have visited,
is The lead Letter Ootfce, tn the Pos,
Office Department. Ii is certainly an in
teresling part Of that building You would
be surprised at some facts termed there.
The business Of the dead letter office alone
employs four clerks all,he time. One opens
the bundles containing the letters sent
to Washington, from the several Post OF
fic es, after they have been advertised, and
no owner found for them. He passes The
letters over 10 two other clerks, who open
them all, to see if they contain anything
valuable. IL they do not, they are throwu
on 10 the pile on the foor.-No time is
allowed 10 read them, as that would be i'm.
possible, without great addition Of help.
The number Of dead letters returned to
The General Post Office is astonishing civ
large. You will be Surprised when lei
you that it is fourteen hundred housa nd a
year, and under the cheap postage system
is increasing! Hence il requires swift
hands to open SO large number, wi,hou,
stopping 10 read a word. Any one who
is so silly as to write mess Of nonsense
TO an imaginary person, supposing 1t to be
ultimately read by some one, may save
himself The trouble hereafter. He NAV
depend upon it, not a word will be likely
| TO be read Of the letters unless he encIoses
something valuable in it; and that would
be paying too dear for SO small whistle
AT the end OF each quarter, the Iette,s
that have been opened having been accu.
mulated TO huge mass, and having been
in the mean time slowed into bags, are
carried out on the pia ms, and there con-
sumsd in q bon fire. The huge bags
make five or six cart loads each quarter.
The letters containing anything valu.
able, or in fact. any mater enclosed-are
passed over 10 the fourth clerk, who occupies
separate room for The purpose, and there
are canyassed by this gentleman. II is
very interesting TO examine the heieroge.
neous materials of this room, that have
been extracted from letters and accumula,.
ing for years. Here you see tho siDgn,ar
matters that are sometimes Transported
through the Post Office. The amou II OF
moneys, that at various times has been
found in letters, is very large. When
anything OF value, as money, drafts sc. is
iiouno, the rule IS to return il to the Posi-
