A GREAT NUIsANCE.-lf "Hon. Abra-
ham Lincoln, President of the United States"
does not become as familiar with the names
of the officers and members of our Legisla-
ture, as the clerks who call the yeas and
nays, it will be because the thousand and
one petitions addressed 0 him and signed
by those members, will never meet his eye.
The Office seekers all over the State have
been seized with the delusion that if they
could secure the names of the members of
the Legislature, that scarcely anything else
would be requisite to obtain the appoint
ments they so much desire. They secure
the aid of some of the messengers or clerks
of the Houses (perhaps for "considera-
tony and the petitions are presented to all
the members, who generally sign them, as
the cheapest way of getting rid of porous
opportunities. A Senator observed the
other day that be had signed petitions for
about dozen persons for the same Office.
The business has been carried on to such
an extent that gentleman lately drew up
a petition from civilian Augustus Tom.
linson" of St. Anthony, for Consul to Liv-
erpool, one of the most lucrative Offices in
the gift OF the President, and gave it a
messenger to circulate, and it obtained the
signatures of nearly all the members of both
Houses. 1t is needless to say that no
person named William Augustus Tomlin.
son" is known to be resident of Saint
Anthony.
The members scarcely give the object Of
these petitions thought, further than to
get rid of them in the most expeditions
manner, but the way they are put under
their noses, when their time and attention
is occupied in perfecting bills or listening
to their reading, Or remarks made upon
them, is getting to be an iutolerable uui-
sance.
We hope those who mediate journey
to st. Paul to get petitions signed, will
profit by the above, and save their time and
money for better purpose.

F1RE.-The night of the 9th the residence
of the Munger Brothers and Capt. Yves.
tern on Fort street, was entirely consumed
by fire. The fire is supposed to have taken
from an imperfect fue in the back part of
the building. That part of the building
occupied by Capt. Western was owned by
Mrs. Graham. The total loss of buildings
and furniture is estimated at So 500. In
surance on building and furniture, 81 900.
Considerable sympathy exists for the suffer-
ers, all of whom are entirely unable to meet
the loss. 1t was rumored that young man
by the name of Smoot had his hand cut
entirely off while engaged in saving the
household furniture, which is not entirely
unfounded /; while engaged in removing
some furniture, he was struck by accident
with an axe, which, in all probability, will
hereafter render his hand useless.
Another fire was discovered about IL
O'Clock in the night, in the neighborhood of
the Mississippi Brewery, but owing to the
distance and the State of the weather the
fire companies did not attempt to reach it.
1t proved to be large barn owned by Mr..
Kent. We did not learn the amount of
the loss, nor how it occurred.
