Foreigners in Government Employ.


From the "Blue Book, register of
the officers and agents, civil, military
and naval, in the service of the United
States" the following facts are gather
ed. Post masters and Superintendents
of Light Houses are not included in the
statement:
The foreign population is 1146 per
cent. of the whole white population Of
the United States. The foreign office
holders is 14.SG per cent of the whole
number of office-holders. Again, the
foreign population is about one-eleventh
of the whole population; yet the for
eign office-holders are nearly one-sixth
of the whole number Of office-holders
If the Offices were distributed in due
proportion to the two classes of popula-
ton, native and foreign, the foreigners
should only have onc-eleventh of the
whole number. Out of 4,0S4, the for
eigners should have but 37S, whereas
they have 607-229 above their due
proportion, These facts may be cited
as additional proof of the disposition Of
the emigrant population to acquire and
to hold on to political power, and not
only political power, but to feed upon
the government. Besides the immense
amount expended in this country to
maintain foreign paupers, to prosecute
foreign criminals, and to import foreign
ers, the additional sum of S567, 800 is
paid out of the treasury of the United
States in the shape of salaries to for
eigners, and in several instances foreign
ers are the disbursing agents of the gov
ernment.
Americans are certainly entitled to a
pro rata share Of the honors and of the
officers, yet so powerful is the influence
of the foreign population, that this pro
rata share has not been allotted to them
The foreigners enjoy the excess. If
such discrimination is to be exercised
against the american born" is it not
natural that they who, it must be ad-
mitted, have the prior right to the hon
ors and Offices, will hasten that conflict
of races, which, whenever it comes, will
deluge the land in blood America
should be ruled by America.

NOT DECIsIoN.-The we'll informed
correspondent Of the Courier and Enqui-
rer says, in reference to the action of
Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case :
As to the opinion of the majority be-
ing a decision, all sensible men, and es-
pecially all lawyers, laugh at it. A
gentleman high in the confidence of the
new Administration, gives the following
as the objects for which the opinion was
extracted from the Court:
1st. To support what the late admin
istration did, and the present one intends
to do
I'd. To confirm an extra official edict
Of the late Attorney General, in which,
upon some unarmed pretext, he pro-
nounced the Missouri Compromise un-
constitutional
Sd. To endorse the present Attorney
General, Black, in his opinion on the
Passmore Williamson case
4th. To cover the new and as yet
unstated pretensions of the democratic
party, and therefore to provide for new
agitations.

"Why, sir" said the lad, gasping,
"one of your subscribers came in during

paid another in advance"

nearly as much overcome as his lone
apprentice.
"Yes, sir, and it has produced such an
effect upon me, that have been per-
fectly helpless SINCE

A SACRED BAND OF FRlENDs.-In
ancient Thebes phalanx of warriors
was formed, numbering a thousand
members, composed of the veteran and
the youth. The whole company was
called the " Sacred Band of Lovers and
Friends" They were pledged never
to forsake one another, no matter what
the emergency. In a battle with Philip
of Macedon, they all perished together.
every man of them, side by side in one
place, surrounded by heaps of their foes
After the conflict Philip recognized
them, and was so moved by the pathos
of the scene, and the sublimity of their
devotedness, that, alluding to scanda-
lous rumor concerning them, he exclaim-
ed, while the tears ran down his face
+ Now, the plainest principles of social
polity require that the whole world
Should be one sacred band of lovers and
friends, inseparably united, sustaining
one another through the trials of this
tempted and faltering life, and beneath
the eye of their Almighty Friend, dwell
ing together all around the regenerated
earth in the bonds of peace, the beauty
of holiness, and community Of veal.

"No, l HAVEN'T BEGUN TO FlGHT!"
Such was the language of Paul Jones,
when the British commander asked him
if he had surrendered. Although his
decks were slippery with blood, his ship
on fire, his guns dismounted, and his
colors shot away, Paul Jones, with an
immortal heroism, kept up the battle
"Do you surrender" shouts the En-
glish Captain, when he saw that the
colors of the "Bon-Homme Richard"
were gone from the masthead. There
was a lull in the conflict for an instant,
''And the boldest held his breath -
as Paul jones, covered with powder
stains, waved his sword, and gave the
memorable answer--"No, | haven't be-
gun to fght'' And the result was that
the battle changed back in few mo-
ments the British frigate struck her col
ors and surrendered, and Paul Jones,
from his own sinking vessel, stood vic
torious upon the royal deck!

WILL KANSAS BE 4 SLAVE STATE p
What the Pro-Stacery Men THink about
1.-The st. Joseph (Mo.) correspon-
dent Of the Missouri Republican, Zone
of the most decided pro-slavery journals
to be found anywhere,} writing from st.
Joseph under date of March 18th, says:
"The emigration to Kansas reminds me
of that to California in the days of
its greatest allurements. Trains upon
trains are pouring in from every quarter,
but particularly from the free States
| had once thought, as l used to write
you, that Kansas would be slave State,
but | am now forced to alter my opinion
from the overwhelming evidences to the
contrary that force themselves upon me
every day. Our ferry boats are busily
engaged from daylight until dark in car
rying over trains, and the proportion of
free-soil to the pro-slavery immigrants
is as fifteen to one. This is not confined
alone to our point of crossing, but it is
so at every other that l can hear from,
and it satisfies me that the political des
tiny of Kansas is fixed beyond all ques-
ton. Wars and rumors of wars she will
know no more, but peace will brood over
her beautiful prairies and prosperity
will reign throughout her borders. am
pro-slavery man, and would prefer to
see my favorite institution established
there; but am, nevertheless, convinced
that the energetic, enterprising Yankee
will develop the resources and build up
the country sooner than we could do,
and that by living in harmony with them
as our neighbors they will do us no in
jury in our peculiar property"
HOOP on Hoop EvER.-A lady had
her life saved the other day by her
hoops. She fell in the river, and they
kept her afoat until a rope could be
handed her. Circumstances sometimes
alter cases-so do circumferences. The
hoops in this instance accomplished a
sort of magical change-shev turned a
woman into buoy.

FEARFUL PERFoRMANCE-The most
curious exhibition at the great Paris
circus is what the programme calls 4" the
exercise of dislocation." The Journal
lists try to initiate it by twisting the
French language into all sorts of COM
plimentary shapes in describing it
" Imagine, says one of them, ga slen-
der female, brunette with flashing
eyes, hollow cheeks, black tresses
streaked with bluish tints, of that exotic
ugliness which must be beauty some
where, far away, under the tent, or in
the pagoda. She comes dancing and
floating in a loose robe with red stripes.
She throws herself on carpet spread
out in the centre of the circus, and 10
she begins her chimerical exercises
She tears herself to pieces, unbones her
self; she passes her leg, like a shoulder
belt over her neck she undoes, like
hooks the collar bones of her shoulders,
and throws behind her back her arms
bent backwards. The strangest of all
is the haggard look, inspired, almost
prophetical, with which she accomplish
es this frightful pantomine. 1t is not a
mountcbank it is the convulsive devo-
tee of some extrayagant religion cele-
brating the rites of some cruel god, who
delights in seeing his worshipers suffer
Her eyes supplicate, her gestures attest
ard her lips trace distressing smile
You are reminded of those Indian dan
cling girls who writhe before idols; of
those Almois, struck through and thro'
with poignards. that you see in Persian
miniatures, dancing on their heads be-
fore some pensive Shah, squat on piles
of cushions, and caressing his braided
beard with hand covered with rings.
Nor is this all a glass case is brought
forward which would scarcely hold a
robe carefully folded. She leaps on the
edges of the fragile casket, twists, dislo-
Gates herself, recommences her gestares
and mysterious appeals; then suddenly,
you see the body articulated apparently
sink down Ike a tissue of which the tie
is unloosened, and fold itself up in
jumble at the bottom Of the box. 1t is
no longer a body, no longer a form, no
longer something organic and articula-
ted. 1t is a packet of limbs loose, scat
tered, unboned, between which vege-
tates tuft of dead hairs like handful
Of sea weed on the spongy segments of a
mollusk Cor, as DR.. Holmes says, like
sea weeds around clam.") Then, as
quickly as she took herself to pieces, she
puts herself together again, re-arranges
herself, 1cends herself at once en-.
tirely, like the puppet of snuff box
with secret spring The name of this
astonishing acr0bate is Mime Ponl-
marche.

Fifty Years Hence.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop Clarke recently
delivered a lecture in Cambridge, taking
this subject, and from which we make
the following extracts:
Fifty years hence the newly married
pair will step into an emporium for the
sale of houses, look over the book of
patterns, select one to suit their taste
and means, and it will be sent home in
the morning, put together and occupied
the same night.
In travelling, as great changes will
take place. Instead of the dusty road
and crowded car, there will be splen-
did locomotive hotel, flying over a road
carpeted with turf and bordered with
shade trees, and heralding its approach
with sweet music, instead of the demoni-
ac shrek of the steam whistle, and la
bled, Through from Boston to San
Francisco in four days"
Instead of the unsightly telegraph
poles, there will be, fifty years hence, a.
network under gronnd, and under the
bosom of the deep, and it will click off
thoughts instead of words. Then the
electric battery will light all the street
lamps at once, enable all the clocks I'M
the city to keep exact time, and kindle
the beacons on the dangerous rocks
where men now hazard their lives and
wear out their lonely days.
Then the author will not write by our
slow process, losing his rarest fancies,
but he will sit down to the newest in
vented autographed instruments, and
putting his fingers on the keys, write as
fast as he can think.
