WASHINGTON, Sept. IA, l847.
g" Mr.. Secretary Walkers new
method of getting specie transmitted from New
York to New Orleans, receives, as it deserves,
the severe anathemas of the press. He goes
to New York and contracts with q gentleman
there to do the business. He gives him two
million of dollars in gold in the New York
sub-Treasury, for which the gentleman, in
hirS-eight days, places the amount of specie
at the disposal Of the Government or the sub
Treasury at New Orleans. Meantime, the use
of the S2,OOO,O00 is worth, to the New York
gentleman, something like $4,000! Were
the old United States Bank in existence, and
the agent of the Government, as formerly, this
transaction would have been faithfully accom-
plished in eight or ten days, and without the
cost of dime to Uncle Sam! How much wi
ser we are than we were but a few years since
Mr.. Robert ]. Walker is a great inancier-
very great! The sub Treasury is a great mea-
sure-very great"
We would make as q passing comment, on
the arrangement of Mr.. Walker, that at the
time it was made, the house of Prime, Ware
g. Co., stood in point of credit, second TO nc
other in Wall street, and the Treasury woulC
have been equally justified in making the ar
rangement with them, and placing two millioni
Of the public money in their hands, withou
security, as with the party it did select, W.
merely make the observation, to show the sys
TEN that is practiced under the sub-Treasury
and the risks that are incurred. 1t is highly
dangerous, it is c%ontended, to trust the public
moneys to a National or a State Bank, but very
right and proper to trust it to individuals. The
SUBJ Treasury, instead of performing the duty
Of transferring the public funds, have. to EN-
ploy brokers to do it, and trust to their indivi
dual responsibility for the fulfIment of the ar
rangement, and besides paying them a pc
centage for their services, allows them to max
an additional amount, by the use of the pub
lie unds!! 1t, truly, is a patent mode o
managing the fiscal concerns Of the nation

skeeter Nets.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Reveille
says, the other evening we were strolling lazily
along through the mnrket and hearing q stout
raw-boned countryman, sitting on a barrel
near his wagon %grumbling to himself as he
scratched his tanned visuge, we came to a stand
and made ready for a talk.
Mosquitoes troublesome? inquired we.
'Some,' answered our friend on the barrel.

'You ought to make the landlord give you a

A gentleman travelling in the West; came
to a town which was pretty much all loco foco.
Entering the bar room Of the only inn in the
place, he spied a disconnected looking little
fellow, leaning on his hands, and cycling the
fire most r%uefully. The traveller learned a4
forwards that the unhappylooklng viIlager had
been a great politician, and had gone his death
for POLK and Dallas" under whose triumph4
ant auspices he had hoped to get the Post
Office Of the village for his services. But, tho
often and strongly promised, he had never sue
ceeded. This made him reflective, and rather
regretful; and he began to repent his recent
zeal. In order to draw him out, one Of the
bystanders said, swell, | voted Tor Mr.. Polk
anyhow, and amt ashamed to own it.'--
Whereupon the traveller remarked, "well then,
| didn't" At this, slowly uprose the little
lugubrious viIlager, and mysteriSusly whisper.
edin the ear of the new conner, and said:
didn't you vote for Polk, thoughw
"Certainly not" was the reply.
"Will you just do me a slight favor, sir?"
pursued the disappointed Office seeker.
"Certainly," was the answer Of the stranger,
elf / can"
"Well, then, just look here; just be so good
as to take me out behind the barn, then, and
give me a %licking-will you?"

DANGEROUS CoUETERFEIT. "A quarter-eagle
(gold coin) was offered at one Of the Wall
street, New York, banks on Thursday, Of which
the execution was SO good that it was almost
impossible to detect the fraud. 1t was pro-
nounced to be good by one of the toIIers OF the
BANG, and also by the clerk of the firm who
do the largest business in the purchase and sale
Of specie in Wall street. Notwithstanding, it
proved to be a counterfeit. The mechanical
execution of the piece is fully equal to that of
the mint, and it is within a small trifo Of the
weight Of the genuine So SO pieces.
