PAY YouR DEBrs.-One dollar properly NOV

pay twenty debts in a single day. Let the man of
capital begin and pay off promptly his laborers,
then his laborers will have the means of doing
the same. The rich should not wait for the poor
to commence this business. 1t is dishonest in
the man of property to delay paying the labor

Our city to-day Is crowded with strangers, aud
every hour adds thousand to the number. The
return cars from Washington commenced to arrive
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, and have been
pouring IN ever since, all being apparently as
anxious to escape from Washington as they were
70 reach there.
There is considerable STIR here among the Office
seekers, and all the Offices IN the city ore already
appropriated by dexen or more expectants. The
most promine names mentioned tor the Collector
OF Customs, are Jonathan Meredith, Esq bro
ther OF The Secretary Of the Treasury; Colonel
K,ue, Captain Pickles aad Elias Griffith; for sur
v,yor OF the Port, Mr.. Henley; tor Postmaster,
Col Isaac Monroe, Mr.. Maddux, and Il. Collins
Lee; ter the Offices OF District Attorney and u 8.
Marsha, the names are legion, comprising great
variety IT both young and old lawyers. For the
minor Offices the applicants do not yet show them
Selves as they are appointed by the higher grades,
and each applicant for these stations has host OF
friends IN expectancy, However, the scramble
for office among the wings Is not half so great as
the recent scramble of the "outs" OF the democra-
Cy tor the places OF their democratic Mayor, STAINS
bury.
The appointment Of Mr.. Meredith to the Trea-
sury Department, it Is calculate will upset the
programme OF appointments for the custom house,

bro,her should desire the post OF Collector he will
doubtless get IT.

b,c,o,v nj her divorcp from Mr. Miller nv the 7 a.
eslarure Of this State, IN 1843 probably fresh IN
the recollection OF all. Such was the sympathy
then excited IN her behalf that after long trial
before the committee, the Senate granted her
bill of divorce by unanimous vote, the bill hav-
irg before passed the House with only three or
four dissenting votes. Our present Governor, Bis
eel, then member OF the Senate, made a strong
sIeech IN her favor; and Mr.. Billings, OF New
London, then Speaker et the House, was among
ose who advocated her cause in the House.
Truly has her life been an eventfu one. A short
time, trust, will clear up the mystery that seems
70 hang about her horrible death.
