The report of the intention. on the

have the injurious tendency to pour into

thing proposed. The mail contractors on

ers-on. Ii is understood that one steam
ship company alone affords TO pay all
tie expenses of an official, who occupies
high position in this go, ernment.-
That official lives in this city in the
most extravagant style. lie keeps
open house, rides in his private car
riage with liveried servants, has his
private box at the theatre, attends all
levees, and gives most expensive din
ners and levees himself His expenses
at the last session of Congress are esti-
mated at about twenty-five thousand
dollars! He is not reckoned a rich
rich man and his salary is only $4,000
per annum. If one steamship company
can afford to support an agent like tie
one described, please consider the So
cial and financial power which all the
companies on sea and land can throw
into this city to impede the progress of
any economical legislation.
