Icx.-The keeping of ice from one morning
to the other, during the warm weather, when it
is most desirable to preserve it, is matter Of
some Importance to housekeepers. An exchange
is inefficient and next to useless, for so soon as
it becomes wet, II rather assists than retards
the melting Of the ice. The best preservation is
saw-dust, and this may be kept in the yard or
cellar In an open box. Half peck in this way
will last longer than peck in blanket.

A THREAT.-The Southern Press is informed,
on good authority, that the Captain general of
Cuba, Concha, recently told one of our naval
officers that if it was necessary to secure the
Spanish authority in Cuba, the slaves would be
liberated and armed against the patriots, and
the guns of Moro castle would be turned on
Havana. We doubt that any affection of Spain
for Havana would prevent this, and this threat
ought to be sufficient to blow the whole Spanish
authority sky-high. But that must soon be
done any how.

Reorganization OF the Departments

Reorg AMI zstfon OF the Departments.
At the extra session of the Senate in March
asst, the following resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Hunter, Of Virginia, and adopted, we be-
lieye, without opposition.
elk THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES, /
"March 7, 1861.
Resolved, That the Secretaries Of State Of
the Treasury, Of the Interior, Of War, Of the
Navy, and the Postmaster General, be directed
to report to the Senate, at the next Session of
Congress-, some plan Of classifying the clerks in
those Departments, for apportioning their sala-
ries according to their services, and for equali-
ring the salaries of the clerks of the same grade
in each of the Departments and, also, some
plan to provide for fair and impartial exami-
nation Of the qualifications Of clerks, and fol
promoting them from one grade to another
upon dueregard to qualifications and services
In conformity with this resolution, the secre
tary Of the Treasury has called upon the chief
Of the several Bureaus for their views fully an
in detail upon the subject. The other heads Q
Departments have doubtless made a simila
call.
Congress, we trust, will go much farthe
than any Secretary will recommend in such
movement yet no farther than the clerks il
Office and the people Of the country will desir
to see them 90. Nothing less than the abridg
ment Of the appointing, and especially tn
removing, power win ever suffice

MEssRs. EDIToRs: think you are mistaken
in giving to Mr.. Corwin the credit of curing the
lame, the halt and the blind connected with the
Treasury Department. As one OF the clerks
connected with the Third Auditors bureau,
| (Gallaher's,) / felt indignant that such rules
should be prescribed, and In course Of my in
yestigations and confabs ascertained that the
prescription in question was not general, but
attached only to the Office of the Third Auditor.
This naturally made me DESTROYS Of knowing
aOhy such an order should be addressed to our
bureau only. On inquiry at the proper quar-
ter, | found that the Auditor, Mr.. Gallaher,
made verbal complaints that some Of his clerks
neglected their business,-by shamming sick
ness, or by being absent for no assignable
cause,-or employed their time in reading
newspapers and visiting bar-rooms during Office
hours.
Mr.. Secretary Corwin requested him to re-
port all such by name, and they should be re-
moved, regardless of politics. This Mr. Gala
her declined, and finally induced Mr.. Corwin to
subscribe to the prescription prepared by him
self
II is high time that such heads of bureaus
should have prescription prepared for them
Ii Mr.. Gallaher has some half-dozen, or so,
unprincipled clerks, let him have the manliness
to report them for removal if they heed not his
caution; but not 60 whining about, and pro-
curing stringent and offensive regulations, or,
as 1t may be, prescriptions" applying to all,
because he has not the moral courage and hon
esty to punish those who are a disgrace to the
office. He submitted the prescription to the
Secretary, accompanied by report Of the state
of the patient; and although pressed to give
the precise locale to the disease, would not, and
therefore he deserves the cognomen of
QUAcK Doctor.
So then, Mr.. Corwin is clear out of it. Now
that is pleasant! The public have condemned
the prescription, and clerk of Mr.. Gallaher's
bureau, but who received or holds his place
from Mr.. Corwin, has of course disinterestedly
interfered to fix the act upon the real author.
But why did Mr.. Corwin, when in Ohio, boast
of this prescription as his own ingenious de-
vice? Why did he there hold up to the con-
tempt of the world all the clerks Of that De-
partment, and boast of the efficacy of his speci-
-fc for the lounging stipendiaries of the Trea-
sury? 1t was then to envelope him in blaze
of glory Now it is unpopular-and somebody
else did it!
Mr.. Gallaher is faithful and efficient of.
fcer, who performs his duty without either
Dragging or whining" He has well and ho-
morally sustained himself in every position he
has hitherto occupied; and the affairs of his
bureau will at this moment stand the test of the
closest scrutiny. He is, however, always capa-
BILE of indicating himself
