oUIRER," as we have done those Of other cor.
respondents, without asserting to the implica-
tons embodied. We by no means approve of
the new standard Of qualifications for the of
fees under the General Government. APP
proving of neither the principles nor practices
of those whom Mr.. Stuart has declared he
would prescribe, we disapprove of his vaunting
declaration quite as decidedly, and regret, as
we feel sure he does, that he made it. A great
error of some of our correspondents is, that
they are but too eager for him to enforce that
invidious declaration. The truth, however,
will not suffer by investigation, and our columns
are open to concise writer's on all sides.
THE INFIRMARY.-We have often had occa-
sion to note the faithfulness with which the
affairs Of this institution are administered; and
we feel that debt of gratitude is due it from
our citizens. We believe that the only endow-
ment or annuity it receives is the sum Of So 900,
annually voted by Congress for relief rendered
to non-residents of this city, in INDECENT cir,
cumstances, who are here often oyertaken by
accident or disease. For the many residents
who are from time to time thrown upon its hos.
pitality it receives no compensation whatever
Their right destination would be the Almshouse:
but when brought to the doors of the Infrma,sy
with broken limbs, or manned, they are of
course not turned away, but taken in and re-
heyed as far as medicine and surgery can effect
their relief We have seen on many occasions
the whole faculty Of the College, and those. no
BILE and devoted young men, the resident stu
dents, toiling unremittingly by day and night
for patients of this description; while II ,e fac
ulty, in their capacity of directors of the, mfr
mary, were freely expanding their own means
in the purchase of every thing essential to the
welfare and comfort of the afflicted recipients
of their kind Offices.
These things should not be. We comment
upon them without the knowledge of any of
those interested, but for q practic al purpose.
We believe that our city has the raeans to de-
fray such expenses; and that our citizens and
their municipal councils have tlae will to act
with justice and liberaliy in the premises.
They have already provided good Almshouse,
it is true; but the same benevolence that led
to this viii also induce them to defray the ex-
penses of patients at the In6rmary, where the,
purposes of benevolence can thus be promoted
more effectually.

The AILANTUs.-This is the name of the tree
so general in our city, and the odor of which
is so much complained of in its Towering sea-
son. A writer in New York paper says of it:
because of its freedom from insects and its
fresh green foliage, it has become very popular,
and has got possession Of nearly every pleasant
walk up town, without awakening suspicion
apparently among the people that it is poisonous
as well as offensive in the Towering season. In
sects avoid it because Of the very properties
which make it dangerous to man. have known
a whole family in the city Of Brooklyn Frustrated
from a condition of good health to sick-beds by
its poisonous breath, when the season arrived
for leaving the windows Of their sleeping-rooms
open. They never knew what was the cause of
their decline until one of their number had be-
come victim of its dangerous shade"

GoLD.-How many young men have left the
United States for California with an average of
thousand dollars each? Ascertain the num-
Der /; then take an equal number in the work
shops and on the farms, keep them in their
pursuits, but expend thousand dollars in ed
ucating them to follow those pursuits with in
creased efficiency then estimate the wealth
gained by each class, and the means of its pro-
duction, and ask whether the placers Of Califor-
MIA or the talents within our youth afford the
purer gold? Ask, too, which of them offers
the greater safety and the more pleasure in the
pursuit?
A sprightly young mechanic may qualify
himself to conduct his business with great honor
and profit, by expanding thousand dollars
and two years in qualifying himself We would
not, with such advantages, exchange his situa-
ton for that of the most fortunate returned
adventurer who has embarked with ikeJcapital
and for like time upon the business Of gold
hunting. Where gold has been obtained, physi-
cal and moral healthfulness has been lost or
greatly jeopardized. How we do err in our
estimate Of true wealth!
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENr.--The 70 Union"
complains of the absence of the head Of the
Treasury Department, intimating that the bu-
siness of the Department may suffer thereby.
1t should be remembered that the duties of
the Secretary of the Treasury are not so ardu-
GUS now as they formerly were when Mr.. Robert
J. Walker was Secretary. The General Land
Office, with about eighty clerks, has been de-
tached, and placed under the head Of the Int
rior Department. And further, q Bureau Of
Customs, with commissioner and several clerks,
has been established in the Treasury Depart
ment, to relieve the Secretary Of part Of his
duties. There has, moreover, been created an
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury with chief
clerk, for the like purpose Of relieving the head
Of the Department from good portion of his
official duties.
So the "Union' ought to see that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury can now be absent, with
more propriety, and less detriment to the public
service, than either of the other members of the
Cabinet .&f
