New Treasury Regulations.

Weprint this merning new set OF Treas
ury Regulations, for the Government q
trade with districts in instruction. These
1sre lengthy, and considerably complicated,
but they may be studied out by persons IN
tsrested. In view of the amount OF corrnp
ton which has grown up under the perm'
system; and the abuses practiced by persons
charged with the execution of the rule
adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury
it is frightful to contemplate the great army
of officers provided for under this set o.
rules. The Secretary Of the Treasury ap
points only the leading officers. These Sc
fect their subordinates, and subordinates
choose assistants. So little has been known
heretofore regarding trade operations tna'
We really cannot say whether the number
Of officers ia to be increased or not; or wheth
er the present incumbents hold over or not'
but unless Mr. CHASE and his subordinate
exercise better judgment than heretofore
in making selections, it makes little diner-
ence whether new men are selected or not.
On the same principle that the dishonest
railroad conductor, who had supplied him
self with fine house, fast horse, iuil
equipment of jewelry, &C., asked to be re-
tanned in office, it would be better perhaps

Byreading over the law it will be observed
that the agents located in the various dis
tricts indicated, will be in positions to have
their honesty sorely tested. Their wcro
win be law; and there is no system of checks
by which it can be ascertained precisely
whether they are allowing toe much to pass
their lines; or whether the privileges are
impartially dispensed. However, we fear
that there will prevail under the new regu-
Istions, as under the old, the same sicken-
ing mass of corruption, which has penetra-
ted every nook and corner of the insurrec-
tionary districts.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE OHIo.-Ihe Louis,
Vile Democrat of tie 9Th, says:-The i'm
provement of the navigation of the Ohio
river received some attention last night by
the Board of Trade. A committee, to whom
had been referred the subject Of drop or
folding, dam, as discussed by us yesterday
in our article on theimprovemento fthe nav
igation of the Ohio, reported in favor Of
the plan, having consulted civil engineers,
&c, on the subject, and the Secretary was
instructed to correspond with the Board
of Trade At Pittsburg and other points on
the Ohio with the view of bringing the
plan more fully before the public, in the
hope that uniformity mightbe secured among
civil engineers and practical men in
regard to the plan to be presented to Con-
gress.

MOURNING TURNED TO JoY.-The Auburn

county, hearing Of the death Of his son, a
member of the Sd artillery, went to New,
bern for the purpose Of bringing home the
remains, which were obtained and brought
home at an expense of about $3.50: and blu.
ried. A few days since, the son, alive and
we'll, returned to his home, when it was of
course discovered that the remains were
those of some other person. The joy of
finding the SON alive more than repaid the

IRIS THE weakness of the radical plan of
dealing with the rebellion that it is one OF
force alone-that il nowhere relies either
upon the present or future loyalty of the ma,
tive population of the South. They are to
be our subjects, never our fellow-citizens.-
So Austria deals with Venetia, and Russia
with Poland. But our republic can never
so deal with portion of its territory and
people, without celebrating the very repub'
lican institutions which it is bound by its
PRINCIPLES aud its laws to guarantee.

event afforded no reason for withholding
from the people of Louisiana the present

Dear Sir-Dr. Kennedy, bearer of this,

my view there could be no possible object
IN such an election. We do not particu'

to enable US to get along with legislation
here. What we do want is the conclusive
evidence that respectable citizens OF Louis

and that other respectable citizens are will
