LsAvEKwoRTH, Aug. 20.
Considerable excitement exists in Lawrence
and kansas City, 10 consequence Of recent
arrivals from the gold mines Of Pike Peak,
confirming tho existence Of ore in abundaace
IN that vicinity. The company which went
from Lawrence in June last, had met with
good success. The gold found is similar to
that Of Fraser River and California. Mr..
Richards arrived in Kansas City on the 28th
and reports that with very limited prospect
ing satisfactory results were obtained. Two
men, with inferior implements, washed out
1900 10 week, IN small stream, SO miles
from Pixies Peak. A second Fraser River
excitement is apprehended.
GVDaniel s. Dickinson, sometimes CALLED
the "Sagc Of the Susquehanna, and some

Corrucslons Of tho Black Dem &C.
Facy.
Az to other corruptions, let Democratic
Senator Toombs testify. ln q moment Of
unwonted candor, he avowed in the Senate,
at the last session, that, in his opinion, stcurs
was the most corrupt government in the world,
and the legislative its most corrupt depart.
ment." Other Senators openly concurred in
that opinion; none ventured to contradict it.
For ourselves, we cannot forbear the express
sion Of our dissent from part Of it. We
caDnot understand how the legislative de-
partment, corrupt as it undoubtedly is, can
be moro corrupt than the executive depart
ment. Take for instance the levying Of this
enormous fund for oorrupting the ballot-box
what can be worse than thatp Or take
the needless creation and lavish rcmunera-
ton Of sinecure Offices. 1t appears by the
official report Of the Secretary Of the Treas-
ury that at Wilmington there were eight men
employed in tho custom house, ct an expense
OF DIS 800, to collect revenue Of only 3d.
600. At Annapolis four men, 1t an expense
$3.50, to COLLECT 4375. At Ooraoocke &S2 Is
collected, and seven men srs employed to
make the collection ut cost Of $1,000. At
Oxford two men collect Eve dollars and eighty
Eve cents 1t cost Of 81, 700, At Montcr ~,
California, three men get ~ $50 for collect-
ing revenue of forty i've dollars. At Buff
falo ten men get $l6,S9O for collecting &c.
lao, DO. Thus the national treasure is
squandered to sustain the modern black De-
