death, in winter, puts him behind the
door, and makes roommate of him for
some months. This seems out of order
to US; but when you come to reflect that

ground is ST. frozen in mid-winter that
digging graves is tantamount to hewing
granite, the practice assumes degree of
reasonableness that quite excuses its want
of decorum.

TO tls X1itorS OF 1hc 6reEt7g n3of:
rENTLEMEN-During the past thirteen Years
VI which have been a resident OF Washington,
have frequently heard the remark that a subordi'
nate officer in The Government employ must, in or
der to retain his place, be spendthrit living ahead
Of his salary he always in d, bt and never pay sny
ILL until be is warranted; then he is poor fellow
and IL would be pity to turn him out, and contra
r:wise. If he pays his debts promptly, and by hab
its Of frugality he manages TO part of his sals

house to live in ifhe dares 10 employ his leisure
moments when Of OF duty. at any industrious ppr
suit-then the cry Is raised against him, oh he
IL getting rich-out with him.
The above remarks were brought forcibly to M
mind while reading in my .&dr this evening, a nc
tics of the removal Of Mr.. John p. Hilton from the
Treasury Department. Mr.. H., although an un-
compromising friend Of General Glass; happened to
be one of those gentlemen who owes no man, never
| was warranted, and by industry aud economy owf s
two small houses; and for this unpardonab e
offence, 10! we have his head In a charger. There
are other evidences Of Mr.. HIS guilt, which may not
be generally known to the Cabinet Ministers, and
Members of Congress Mr.. II. has been too actively
engaged in building preaching houses, and presch-
ers houses In this city, and other has
contributed towards the burial OF the poor, and
levin. the wants of the widow and the fatherle<s-
all of which he has doubtless done with money re.
ceived from the Government.
