The Way Government Does Business.

The ay SOVcfHtueHt Does OuSiHesS'
The Be- ton Journal colates the following
facts from recent document from the Treas
ury Department:
At Wal.loboro. in Maine, three years ago,
50 400 were collected at an expense of So
go, by nine employees row the revenue
has fallen to 81, 800, but nine men still do
tie b~siness, only they charge nearly thou
| sand dollars more for their services. AT
| Wicasse II takes eight able bodied men to
collect $780, agd they are paid for doing 1t
| s.. $50 The highest revenue there for the
last three years was 1858. AS contrast,
at Gloucester, in this state, nine men are
psiI but trlf1le more for collecting S50, 900.
At por,smouth, n. H.. the collection Vi So
eco reorires awenty-one men, although there
Is some roo. ~ 10 believe that this number
includes those 10 ooa.d the revenue cutter
The revenue at this ''pN mas neeh 'afi'hs Oh
for several years, but tn emp yees renal n.
about the sane. At Burr, 49,, , canao ~
$500 were collected by the ST. VII ~ ~
thrty-three men; but it is fair to s. D..
their average pay was low, the aggregate NC
ing only Sl6:2o5, or about double the revc-
nue. collected. AT Barnstable in this State.
| nineteen men have the arduous task of col
'ecting Sl,432, and they are paid therefor
ST ,932. Three years ago S4 900 was the
revenue there, but it only took fifteen men 10
take care of it. At Nantucket last wear
three men put 800 81 in the United States
Treasury, and took 1920 out. The largest
revenue during the last three years was ST.
002.
The above by no means exhausts the sub
ject. On the contrary, out of New England
there are a vast number of places where the
same disparity exists between the government
receipts and expenditures in its revenue col
lections. For instance:
In California, at Stockton, one man costs
the government 200, while he benefits it
to the extent of only SAB. Three ye,rs
ago six enterprising officers were paid over
50 600 for getting together Sl79; so the ore
man of the present year is an improvement
after all. At Monterey three men send to the
Treasury S45, and kindly poe let in return
81, $50. Last year they took S8,198, and
the yearprevious SIC. 222, but do not appear
to have made any return Of the revenue.-
On the strength of these facts they are plob-
ably considered as meritorions reformers at
headquarters, and so are retained in office.
Such a few of the inconsistencies of the
department, we cannot say but we dare say
that resOlute attempt towards ameiorating
them would be attended with some good re-
suits, and would be gratifying to the people
at this time.

SINGULAR Accident.

The Chicago Jonrnat of the 23rd, records
the following singular accident as occurring
at the warehouse of Sturgis & BucAln. ham
n that city:
1t seems that they had been drawing of
some damaged wheat from one of their m
nense bins, and crust of lamp grain was
left at I'll, topot tn bin. Not knowing what
mad been DONE a man in the empty of the
company went up into the fourth story, and
eape over into the bin that was apparently
titled with wheat, and went down through
he hopper from the Top to the bottom oi the
warehouse, without receiving the least nJurv.
We venture to say he cannot run throus I
the mill again without having toll taken.

A Grievance Complained of.

Mr. EDITOR :-Knowing your able journal
to be the impartial friend OF all Minnesota's
interests, and not bound to the service OF
any particular class 1 hope you will grant
very small space in the columns OF your
widely circulated paper, for few remarks
which will, [ think be found interesting, not
only to the residents of the Upper Minnesota,
my own neighborhood but also to the trad
ing community of st. Paul, and its steam
boat commerce herewith
You are no doubt aware that though this
this part of our State possesses soil as rich,
and a climate as favorable as can be found 10
the Union it, like all newly settled countries,
is unable yet to supply all the wants OF Its
inhabitants, who must therefore for some
time be dependent on the Minnesota River
trade for less or more of the necessarles OF
life. Whether this trade be lucrative or not
do not know but it is certainly ruinous to
those dependant on it for supplies.
| will give you few instances OF how they
are cheated. The steamboat Wave has
made several very successful trips up the
MINES ota, and one among the rest was on
the 25th August bornd for Fort Ridgely !;
it stopped at our landing, sold and delivered
| 4 barrels of -four to one CT my neishborS at
Sc, so per barrel-brand, Canton Mills. On
examination, one barrel tnrned out to be
shorts, or inferior -four, rot worth 81 An
other steamboat, called the Freighter, bound
for the same point, called at the same land
ing on Sept 22nd, sold flour in bags to some
of my neighbors, and one of them purchased
6 bags at $S4,25 per bag, each of which when
weighed, instead of 90 pounds, contained
only 20 pounds.
I might mention several other instances OF
n similar kind which would exhibit fraud
and deceit 2racticed by the steamboats, ruiz
ninr on the Minnesota River; but these came
under my own person.. observation there
fore suppress such other fac,t.S Tor some future
occasion.
Now, Mr.. Editor, would ask, thrc "gh 'he
| columns of your journal, if these mean ECU
lations are not likely to injure the Minnesot.
River trade Is it right to let such frauds
pass unnoticed? When you take into con-
sideration the losses that farmers have suf-
fered by having their crops eaten and de-
stroyed by grasshoppers last year, the rust in
the wheat and the blight in the potatoes
this year, think you will agree with me,
policy.

Washington Lettcr--.COld Weather at

WASHINGTON Sept. a 1853.

DEAR SIR.-We are shivering and shrunll
en up by cold No storm, but regular fall
ling of the thermometer. Last night we found
it impossible to be comfortable without fire
and spent the evening in winter wrappings
before brisk fire. learn that frosts and cold
weather have extended even into Georgia.
If the proportionablc condition holds good.
you ought to have slcighing this oath day of
September; for tell You, by the way it
now feels, | should not be surprised to see
snow before night. And this too, in the
climate of Washington. l am afraid to hear
from Minnesota: afraid the corn crop has
been entirely cut off.
Rice for certain considerations not only
gave up his opposition, but went in with
Sam Medary for the appointment of DR..
Massey and succeeded. The other matter
of course was all settled first and Medary and
Rne are again ON fine terms. Medary squar-
ed up in satisfactory manner at time very
opportunity for Rice, which makes Rice easy
and Medary secured carte blanche to all the
public offices for bis sons, sons-in-law, grand
sons, present and to come. Its hard to tell
which of the two made the most by the ar
rangement. Trey didn't get out of Rice.'s
hands without leaving behind the full pound
of flesh. Yours, &C.,

ALL the accounts from France concur in
stating that the grape disease is passing very
lightly over the vineyards, and that there will
be an early and abundant vintage. In con-
frmation of this it is stated that empty casks
are selling throughout the vine growing re-

THE GAINESVILLE, Wis. Gazette suggests the idea

solved upon at that session. The necessary
legislation for which the people were suffer
ing was mainly passed by Or the bills allowed
/, to sleep in the hands of the committees, all
of which We're controlled by the party in
power. But few laws Of general Importance
were passed. and many of these We're vetoed
by the Governor (?). More than two months
were spent in Pr pairing the way for an cleo
ton of Senator. The most outrageous pro-
ceedngs ever witnessed in deliberate body
were enacted to effect their desires but all
would not do A few honest Democrats
united with the Republicans and the nelari"us
project was defeated. In order to have some
show Of consistency in wishing an election of
Senator at that time, law was passed pro-
viding that no session of the Legislature
should be held until December, 1859, unless
the Governor should order one before. The
Legislature adjourned without making any
provision for the election of Representatives
TO Congress, and so if the programme is car
ried out, II. NJ. RICE will be the sole repre-
sentative IN the councils of the nation from
