Public Offices.

Por years past this State has paid several hun
dred dollars year for Office rent for the offices Of the
Secretary and Auditor Of STATE. We hope egisa-
ture at its approaching session. will make provision for
the erection of suitable edice the Governors cir
ce for the Offices Of Secretary Treasurer Auditor and
Clerk of the Supreme Court. consultation for
the Judges Of the Supreme Cont might be added. To
provide the means in part for the erection Of such
building would suggest the proprety of selling the
lot occupied by the State Treasury buildings, and
the half square Immediately north of the State House.
We have doubt if such project adopted by the
State, that Congress would appropriate at least,
equal provide for the District and Circuit
Court OF the United States and Office for their Clerk
might also be provided for the city Post Office.
BY proper exertons this might be accomplished and an
edihce erected that would be city,
and afford handsome and safe Offices for State off,
GERS and give accommodations for the United States
Court and city Post Office free Orient The old rckety
building standing the circle is eye-sore to
every MAJ Of taste. II is not worth repairing, and
ought be removed a nuisance at any hope
our Legislature will think of this suggestion and give
it such consideration as its Importance deserves.

Bribery and Corruption.

la his late message to Congress- President Fillmore
says that he considers it his duty TO recommend that
provision be made by law for the punishment only OF
those who shall accept bribes but also of those who
shall promise offer to give TO any OF those officers
or clerks bride reward touching relating any
matter OF their official action duty"
We have some little curiosity (Which readers will
quite probably share with us) know what has recent
y transpired render necessary such law that adj
vocated by the President Perhaps the experience Of
the celebrated Galphn cabinet of Gen. Taylor, and
the scarcely less celebrated Gardiner cabinet OF Mr.
Fillmore himself has suggested to the President the alb
ssute necessity of prescribing punishment for Of
fences such these cabinets than suspected
of having been guilty. Perhaps however, there is
something yet to be revealed-some hidden vlainy with
which the public yet unacquainted-to prevent
recurrence OF which the President thinks it necessary
attach additional pains and penalties. Possibly the
port ef the investigating committee Of the Senate may
throw some light upon the subject TO which the Presi-
dent alludes If il does not perhaps shall have TO
wait till after the Inauguration of Mr. Pierce before get
ting at the gist Of the matter.
That bribery and corruption of the blacklist dye have
been the order of the day among the officials Wash
ngton during the last four years, there could be little
doubt, had not the confession Of the President
to that effect From the day of Gen. Taylor's naugu-
ration the hungry cOrmorans who bad thus long been
kept from the treasury, seemed to make united and
desperate assault upon the strong box The pressure
of the besegers violent for the few and feeble
and doubling troops who defended the citadel. They
carried every thing before them and the of
every old claim, whether Of Indian, French, English,
American, Spanish, Agerine, Portuguese wing tory
origin allowed dip in his hand and make his haul
But-the wrong has been done, and the evil far
the past is concerned, is past remedy We believe the
incoming administration, il not composed of men more
honest, will at least profit by the sad experience of their
predecessors, and shut down the aoodgaes which have
overwhelmed the dynasty just going out Si law
such recommended BY Mr.. Fillmore will do no harm,
and therefore hope Congress will heed the Presi-
dents suggestion. Let there be law, a strong, a
stringent law-imposing the heaviest penalties upon all
who shall offer give bride to officer clerk as
we'll he who shall accept the bribe. The people
tired of Gaphinsm and Gardinerism, and it IS high
time that means devised by which men guilty
of such be punished other and less guilty
culprits punished. Let tho Presidents advice be
taken, say we.-Neo Albany Ledger.

indeed reflection upon the shrewdness Of the business

The writer does doubt that the business of advers

ga Rebuff to the Flybusters (not Fillibusters)
from a Quarter which they will FeeI.,,

This is the title cf article in the ST. Louis Demo-
crat, making extracts from the Charleston Mercury,
&c. We do refer it for the purpose OF contro.
ting any position assumed but merely inquire OF
the editor his authority for asserting that the word ID
'.sy5uster, and not 'fllibuster." We find il
any dictionary the word '.fybustr." Boyer in his
French dictionary has the word '.abusiisr"-Free-
booter, buccaneer.
"Fillibuster," in the Spanish, is "Name given to
Freebooters Buccaneers who pundered America in
the seventeenth century"
The depredatioss Of the fllibusers were confined in
the main to the territories of Spanish America They
called by the English, Buecansers" These buc-
cancers principally French and English, who first
settled St. Domingo and Hspaniola. Their business
was to fish and hunt wild cattle and hogs. They after
wards extended their unlawful freebootng and robbery
into Cuba and Spanish Americas and by the Spaniards
were called "Fillibusers, by the French Fbustiers
and by the English Buccaneers"
The editor in attempting to display his learning has
exposed his ignorance He takes the French word and
gives it the wrong orthogaphy, and chdes others who
have selected the Spanish as the best because it was
the first and original given those freebooters
The French word is corruption of the Spanish.
