HE INDEPENDENT SUBTREAsURY.-The New
York Evening Post, attributing to the Wings the
loss of the five thousand dollars stolen from the
travelling Subtreasurer between Chicago and De-
troit, says
last Congress- have amended the law Of the Constitutional
Treasury as to permit the Of bills exchange whenever
It might suit The convenience of Government.
To which the Express replies But the use of
bills of exchange is just what the Wings will
never allow the Administration at least not as long
as the Wings are not allowed the like use of bills
of exchange, or bank bills, TO pay duties TO the
Government.
The Post admits the Subtreasury law is defective !!
Il was devised and urged the perfection of human
wisdom. But, quoth the Post again:
"a defect in the Of doing good Thing, however
is objection to the thing itself Suppose carriage Maker
by bunder has made Of the fore wheels of
good deal larger than the other, that goes with
gua and unsteady notion what would be thought Of him who
should urge this defect objection TO all wagons "
To which the Express asks: What would be
thought of such a blockhead of carriage-maker,
rather And what would be thought Of him when
he aspires to take in his carriage all the finances of
the Government? But adds the Post:
Suppose, again, that the artisan seeing the blunder
he had committed should offer remedy it. should entreat
to be allowed to make both wheels Of and the
should refuse him permission, and insist driving the wagon
till il broke down, whose would the fault be then -
Towhich the Express apty replies The owner
would be sadly at fault if he ever trusted such a
blockhead to touch his carriage again. We Wings
propose to turn him off, and to employ experienced
old-fashioned carriage-makers hereafter.
