THE sUBTREASURY.

The beautiful operations of the Subtreas.
ury system are being developed under tho new
Democratic Administration. Secretary Guth.
RE has issued a Treasury order abolshing the
use of transfer drafts" altogether, and the
literal construction Of The Bill is to be carried
out by which the public money is to be car
ted about from one deposit to another A
caravan ofpublis agents has been established
for the purpose Of escdrting specie from place
to place. An Illustration of the absurdisy Of
its operations. lately occurred in transferring
Government money from New York to St.
Louis. The sum If Eve hundred thousand
dollars was thus sent in boxes, marked 'sUni-
ted States muskcts." Tie cost Of this novel
system of transfer, to the Government was
something over the handsome sum of Sc, 900,
while at the same time the exchange between
the two cities needed the use of il by drafts,
and bankers would have gladly made the
transfer free of expense to the Government
In like manner oshcrtransfers are made from
one city to another. The same ridiculous
system is imposed upon The Government that
would compel individuals to carry money to
each other in place of making the transfer up
on the present convenient plan of Bank drafts.
Even Secretary Walker rePudiated this fea-
ture of the Subtreasury Bill, under the Polk
Administration, and recommended an amend
ment to remedy the incenveniences that are
now experienced from Secretary Guthrie s
Treasury order They were so palp.ble and
intolerable that no previous Administration
pretended to act upon an exact Interpretation
Of the law

The New York Times thus concludes an
able article on this subject:
sSavs rs the repetition Of such heart rend-

Steamboat Owners and Captains, that there
may not, after all, be so great difference in
the grade Of criminality between him whose
malice periods the earthly life Of foe. and
those whose neglect and indifference plunge

There is not less truth than force and beau

With the opinion implied in its concluding
query we fully agree. The man who kills

Justice, one would be hung and the other CON-

1t is true that dssrc are railroad ard steam
boat accidents which are unavoidable but
most o. them are the results Of sheer care
lessness and negligence. We rarely hear in
Virginia Of the loss Of life or limb by railroad
or steamboat casualties The reason is that
our railroad and steamboat companies make
the safety of life primary consideration, and
exercise great caution in the selection of their
officers. engineers and conductors.
But the root Of most of the reckless loss
of life in this country lies in that mad haste
to become rich and great for which our PEG.
pie are distinguished individuals, cities
and States are competing in furious rivalry
for the speedy acquisition of wealth and pow
er. The Railroad Companies, as general
thing, are actuated BY the same mania, and
look to diridends rather than the public safe
ty. The fastest lines, the fastest boats, are
demanded by the feverish spirit of the times,
and security of life and limb is regarded as
subordinate consideration. The mangled and
bloody corpses which the steam car, more
dreadful than the car of Juggernaut brushes
beneath its wheels, are victims Of the restless
spirit and impatient. cupidity Of our people
