The Baltimore American has these sensible
remarks upon this subject.
The increase in the population and territorial
extent Of this country since the establishment
Of tire Government has naturally produced a
corresponding increase In the public business.
An organisation of departments and bureaus ut
the seat Of Government, which might have an
swered very well for the first Administration
and for several succeeding ADMINISTRATORS,
might be very inadequate TO the wants and re-
qurmcnts Of the presentday. And suchis the
fact .-..-r-
A secretary for the homo department and a
SECRETARY for foreign affairs~ s-A-s--..-s-'s
OF every constitutional government
except our uwn. No two ministers could have
functions more distinct. than these: yet oar
Stats Department combines them'both and oar
SECRETARY OF State is domestic and foreign
SECRETARY atlonce. Bs., a. a. IS
Tse Treasury Department is also much over
loaded. Tirs business Of that department has
got to be vssst, and often intricate and compli-
Gated from variety of details.
A Home Department, properly organised
would take portion Of the duties, now 50 OPP
pressive, from both the State and the Treasury
Department With this relief there would be
far more efficiency in each. The objection OF
expense, If that should be urged, is too incon-
siderable to deserve notice. Instead Of an in
creased expense, indeed, the addition Of new
Department might be the means of saving more
to the Government than all the expenditures ne
cessary to sustain il.

following resolution unanimously. II may be
very well TO make a railroad to Guyandotte, but
the iiea Of extending it on to Memphis ria
KnOrrille, Tennessee, surpasses all other absur-

railroad travel is via Guysndotte and Lexington,
through Louisville to St. Louis, and this has
long been perceived by the directors of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad company. Hence
chiefly, their great desire TO terminate that road
at Parkersburgh, rather than at Wheeling or
Pittsburgh:
