Public Tho Division OF the spois,'' etc.
These are favorite expressions, both with poli1l-
clans and the super yirtuous persons who hold poll
ticians in supreme horror An article in exchange
before begins thus =" The Presidential election
involves an amount Of public plumber equal to nifty
two millions per year. That is as much as to say
that the whole revenue of the United States is pluE-
der-that the various salaries paid to officers for the
actual discharge of necessary duties are also plumber
that the amount required for the support of the
Army and Navy is plumber, and SO on Now even
putting as plumber the salaries paid to all officers
appointed by any new administration and all the
contracts at their disposal it would not amount to
one half of the sum mentioned.
The great majority of officers on the civil and d.
plomatic list of the United States nadequately
paid. It will not be commended that the President
can dispense the Inequalities expected from
his position reciprocate those of the foreign d.
plomates and make any thing off his salary, or that
men competent to be Judges of the Supreme Court
of the United States could not make than four
five thousand dollars year by practice, or that
first class lawyer would leave the bar to go the
District Court Bench at two thousand dollars year
The real spoils and plumber of the Treasury &C.
cur through fraudulent contracts and from the al
lowance of such denominations as GaIphin and Gard
ner claims, and other undue exertlons of power, or
swervngs from justice on the part of those under
authority. The disbursing the revenues of the Uni
ted States does not necessarily or properly imply
either plumber spoils. The fact that such thing:
occur under administration is strong proofs tina
a change, and complete one is required =
There can be no doubt of the influence exerteG
through the medium of executive patronage, mol
that much corruption is creeping into the disburse
ment of public moneys, nor that the vast bod,
of politicians by trade simply hunting after thu
oaves and fishes. But for all that the loose and ex
aggerated form of expression that designates thu
whole revenue as public plumber" and all the sal
aries paid to u S. officers as the division of thu
spoils ~ is simply foolish.

Frcshet In Georgia.

The Georgia papers are filled with accounts of the
recent freshet which has done much damage
throughout that Stale and South Carolina. At Au-
gusta, on Sunday, the Savannah River rose to the
height Of the great flood of 1910. Two hundred
feet of the Augusta bridge were carried away-the
city was flooded houses foated-goods were dam
aged and property destroyed to an immense extent
Hamburg. the opposite side of the river suffered
even more. No part of the city was uncovered
and in some parts, the water reached the second
story of the houses. The crops in the up-country
have suffered very severely, and any number o.
bridges have gone by the board.

or shape into that scheme of adjustment but was in

ment-tle admission of California, and the dismem-
berment of Texas are looked upon at the South as
unjust, and calculated to altogether to the
benefit of the North, and the Fugitive Slave Law is
the only measure having any reference to Slavery,
passed by the long session of 1S49-50, which is
looked upon by the South approaching to justice
Gov Graham does not assert that Gen. Scott was in
favor of the Fugitive Law introduced by Mr.. Ma.

by the South Neither MIR. Graham any other
man, who knows anything about the matter, and
has any regard for truth, any respect for himself
can assert, for he was not. z-[
When it is asserted that Gen. Scott was in favor

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGE.
Out Of Place.

Bennctt's Herald raves as follows in regard
to the success Of the National Era in Washing
ton. 1t would if possible set the shareholders
upon its expulsion. The Herald is quite out Of
its sphere in venturing suggestion to the Lords
of the LASH Its business and that Of all its like,
is not to command or even suggest, but to obey
like lackeys as they arc.
THE WAsHINeToN OaGANs-.1boliiion l.,
The Souih.-While the Political organs in
Washington, Wig, Democrat, and Southern
Rights, are reduced to the starving point,
from the absence OF Treasury pap, the
one thing noedul to sustain thenl--while
active pnrlisans in Congress are scIeming,
aud plotting, and intriguing, to get division
of the Congress printing among their res
peciivc party organs, it is remarkable fact
that tho central organ of the aboltionists is
alone, of oil the journals in Washington,
supported by the popular subscriptions. We
say this is n remarkable fact, aud indeed il is
extraordinary, when we consider that Wash
ington is within the slaveIolding section of
The United States, iu a slnycholding District.
aud between Mary land aud Virginia, the two
oldest slavehOldiug States in the Union. But
when we consider that Washington is the
seat of national government, aud the citadel
Of the peculiar Institutions of the South, thc
fact is absolutely surprising that an abolition
organ should alone he capable in that city oi
sustaining itself, without the aid of the
treasury.
The central patronage Of the national
whig and democratic parties has been scat
tered aud wasted upon variety OF organs,
bOtl central and sectional Rut Tho uboli-
tionists, of MI classes, castles, colors, and
stripes, throughout the whole county, con-
ccnIratc their sutliagcs upon the central
organ, aud thus give it solid aud cnrching
support The great object of sustaining
their Washington organ is simple military
str0iagcm. Ii gives them iOolhold in the
encmy's tcrfory--a masked battery, from
which they may play directly upon The very
fortress of Southern slavery. Tho objects
OF the central abolition organ Hrc all directed
TO the extinction of slavery in the South. It
keeps nlive, aud gives courage, aud unity,
and energy, TO all the abolition forces of the
North. The direct tendencies of its doc
triues, its circulation, its location, and It's
influence, arc the destruction of Southern
institutions, and the excitement of civil war,
sectional strife, aud tic dissolution of the
Union.
Southern editors who have been so ife-
quenily shocked and alarmed by the ianu,ical
rawlings of Greeley, Fred Douglass, Abby
Kelly, Lloyd Garrison, aud Lucrciia Mott,
wOnld do well TO turn their attention TO the
more important subject of the success aud
the influence of the central abolition organ
at Washington.

EXAGGERATED STATIsTIcs.-The friends
of temperance are often charged with eSng-

extent of the consumption of intoxicating
drinks. The Courier aud Enquirer on Mon

accrue to the tmdo of New York. II snys:
