HUMILITY.

Humility, the fairosi, Oyeliest flower
That grow in Paradise, and the first that died,
Has rarely 1ourished since on mortal soil.
II is so ftail SO delicate thing,
'Ts gone, If it but look upon itself:
And they who venture to believe it theirs,
Prove by that single thought they have 1t not.

off New York, the news-man came alongside,
and a passenger went ashore with him to report
to the owners and procure suitable apparel for
the remaining passengers About IL o'clock we
came to anchor off Castle Garden. The little

teen in number. Cheery they went, waving to
us their caps OF varied hue, last good bye

in our hands no recompeuse we held. Our noble
minded deliverer what wealth could purchase
for him the price of our hearts gratitude, or
make just acknowledgment of It? All that
man could do to succor and bless he did, and
seemed TO be the recipient rather than the author
of benefits conferred Surely, we do not look
upon him as having only an individual claim to
our gratitude. We view him as the representa-
tive OF the best character Of 1.-The benefactor
Of his species. May the blessing of many ready

of prosperity, the pillows of death shall roll over
him, may he see the Captain of his Salvation

no considerations could induce them otherwise
to dispose of it. 1t is remarkable that an articl,
Of such known intrinsic merits has not becom'

counted for by its scarcity or the difficulty o
producing the same. In California, it is Gus

mitted to us, 1t was ascertained that there an
error Of nearly seven millions, there being that
amount in the Treasury which is not represented
in the statement communicated TO us. Deduct
ing then this sum, which is reported to be little
short of seven millions, but calling it six millions
eight hundred and eighty.one thousand, the re-
suit is that there is a deficiency of sixty millions
for the two years, or at the rate of thirty millions
year. But, sir, am very far from being satis-
fled with the calculations OF the Secretary To
satisfy my own judgment will add eight mil
lions, being the amount TO which, as l believe,
the Secretary has over-estmated the public rev.
enue. This gives us the amount of sixty-eight
millions as being the deficiency which has al
ready accrued, or at the rate Of thrty-four mil
lions year. For the coming year ending June
1919, the Secretary has estimated the deficiency
at $20,500,000. I have obtained this result by
deducting the estimated deficiency for the cur
rent year, from The Secretary's estimate Of the
deficiency on the Both June, IS49. WE'LL sir,
without going further-wIthout at present inquir-
ing into the accuracy Of his estimates for the
coming yearly taking the deficiency g. esti-
mated by himself, we have fo- the three years
ending June 80, l649, the sum of eighty EIGHT
millions as tho deficiency of our means below
our expenditures. This, Mr.. President is a con-
else statement of our financial experience thus
far, as will appear by the following statements.
And if we add TO this sum 100000 which
shall endeavor TO show TO the Senate is an over
estimate ofhe revenue for the coming year, and
the sum of 100000 for under estimate Of ex-
penditure for that yea, the deficiency for .hree

The report of Mr.. Hobbie, the First Assistant of
Cave Johnson, the Postmaster General, on postal
reform, which we published the other day, Is one
OF the ablest documents on the subject which has
emanaed from that department for the last quarter
OF a century. The ability displayed In that paper,
the grasp of mind for post Office details, and the
thorough mastery of the merits Of the subject
generally, would convince an unbeliever that Mr..
Hobble, himself, is much ADLER and more suitable
for the Office OF Postmaster General than Cave
johnson Is for that of letter carrier. Two years
ago, Mr.. Hobbie was sent to Europe, for the pur-
pose of collecting intelligence post office mat
tiers; and the effective manner in which he dis
charged the duties of his mission, is low apparent
10 the world. He has collected such mass of
statistics on this subject, and grouped them to-
gether with SO much skill and such convincing
force, that we do not see bow Congress can delay
action anv longer on this most important branch Of
the public servce-the cheap, safe, and rapid con-
veyance and delivery of the mails.
One OF the good things flowing from the election
OF General Taylor, will be, that we shall get rid Of
such incompetent and mbeclle officials as Cave
Johnson; and another OF The good results which
we expect from il If, the selection of such man
as Mr.. Hobble to superntend the Post Office De-
partment IN future.
Without reference to party politics or party pre-
ferences of any kind, we no not hesitate to pro-
pose Mr. 3. X. Hobbie a most competent and
suitable person 10 discharge the duties OF Post
master General with efficiency; and we shall re-
commend the selection OF such an accom- plished
officer to the consideration and approval OF the
gallant President, as soon he gets the ribbons
one hand and the whip in the other, to drive the
State team for the next four years.

HEw YORK AND EeIE RAILRoAD.-The directors
Of this railroad company, and large number OF
invited guests, went on an experimental trip last
evening over the road. We understand they have
gone TO Binghsmpton, distance OF two hundred
miles from the city, and WILL return probably to-
morrow evening. When completed, this railroad
will be the most important Of any in the country;
net merely running through the southern tier OF
counties Of this State, and making dlrect rail-
road communication between this city and Lake
