The steamship Georgia, from Chagres, Dec. 10Th,
and Havana, 10Th, with 800 passengers, arrived at
10 O'Clock this morning. She brings 81 SOC, 900
in freight, and an equal amount the hands of pas
sengers, which is the largest amount ever brought
by passengers any one time. The Georgia brought
to Havana, for New Orleans, $50 passengers, who
were transferred to the Empire City, which arrived
on the 18th. 1t had been storming heavily for two
weeks, at Chagres, which caused rise in the river,
of so feet, and created the heaviest freshet
membered to have occurred there. Much property
was destroyed. and men, horses, and cattle, came
down The river, and were swept out to sea by the
powerful current, and destroyed. Several vessels
were lost near the mouth Of the river, but the

MONEY AND BusINEss.-'The Boston Atlas
Of Saturday, says ''Money continues easy in this
city. The limited amount of business which has
been transacted, the withdrawal Of large borrow
ers from the street, and the continued arrivals
from California, all tend to keep the supply ahead
of the demand We see no reason in particular
to warrant belief that more stringent state Of
things will exist month hence, although such an
event would not be out of character with the COM
mencement Of a new year.
The New York Journal of Commerce saws:
zsThere is better demand for money. and as
she period is approaching for the quarterly state
ment of the Banks, the latter are little more
guarded in their operations. The effect of this
caution. however, is less than generally supposed
as the banks were already in very safe position.

One OF the greatest evils under our government is
the great amount Of Executive patronage; and it is
the sire to see who shall have the control of this,
that more than any thing else engenders party ami
mostly in the land, and nterferes with the regular
progress OF business in Congress. Executive pat
ronage has long been looked upon as great evil,
and, inEmauy of the States where it is almost ncom.
parably less than under the general government,
means have been taken to it far pos
sIble, by making nearly every office elective by the
people. This is entirely in accordance with the
spirit of our government, to bring every appoint
ment as near to the people as possible, both as a
safeguard against corruption in the appointments,
and to secure faithful discharge of the duties of
the office, We therefore glad to find the fol-
lowing in the Congressional proceedings Of Wednes-
day last;
Mr.. Allen offered the following resolution:
Whereas the best interests OF the country demand
that the great and rapidly increasing patronage of
the Executive Department of the General Govern.
ment be diminished, by transferring the power of
appointment whenever il can be done without pre-.
Jndice to the public service, from the Executive to
the people; and whereas the appointment of more
than twenty thousand deputy postmasters constitutes
the largest branch Of that vast patronage
be 1t Therefore resolved, That the Committee on the
judiciary he instructed to report, within thirty days.
an amendment TO the Constitutions by which Con-
gress shall be empowered TO provide as far as prac-
icable for the election of deputy postmasters by the
quilted voters in the respective localities in which
post offices are situated Provided That IT, in The
opinion OF said committee, Congress has already
such constitutional power, said committee shall, in
stead OF SAID amendment, report within the time
aforesaid, the bill to effect the aforesaid object
BY the rules OF the House, if objection is made to
the immediate consideration of solution, or If
member desires to discuss it, it lies over Mr. Orr
Indicated wish to discuss this resolution, and it
was accordingly postponed, -nominaly till the next
day, but, in reality till it is reached in the regular
course of the business of the morning hour, which
may be some time in the course of the session, or
may not, according to circumstances There have
been cases, when motion made the first Of the ses-
sion, has been made the occasion for harangues on
every thing connected with political affairs, and
has thus engrossed all the portion Of the morning
hour devoted to discussion, for great part Of the
session, to the exclusion Of every thing introduced
after it. We hope, however, that this may be reach
ed in season to get on it during the session.
We believe, that if the people could have chance
TO speak upon the subject free from any party bias,
nine enths Of them would be in favor of the change
We hope that they will take it up, and that the
press, without distinction of party, may speak ont in
favor of SO essential a reform
