The CRY Locusrs.-There are u horde
of clerks and officers attached to the va
rious departments and courts in the city
of New York, who are never called upon
to perform an hours service. If any spe-
ciHc duty is taken from a department by
the Legislature, the force of clerks is kept
on the payroll for years after a new set Of
officials have taken charge. Manure in
spectors and their deputies have been paid
for three years services after their duties
were abolished. The Paid Fire Depart.
ment went into operation a year ago, but
the Deputy Superintendent and his sub
ordinates who had charge Of the old Fire
Department under the Street Commits.
sioner, are still drawing their pay, at from
$1,000 to $4,000 per aunum each, and
will probably continue to do SO for year:
to come. 4 host of leeches are paid from
the contingent funds and special appropri.
atoms, Of which the public knows nothing,
Such are the clerks and messengers of the
various committees Of the Common Coun.
ell and Supervisors ; the distributors OF
notices of all sorts /; the inspectors of each
petty job of public work who draw pay
both from the City Treasury and the con-
tractors /; the horde Of overseers, gate
keepers. watchmen, and supernumeries on
the New Court House, and an army OF
others too large to enumeratc. II o liS, oi
the names OF all persons who are to-day
living on the City. and County Treasury
could be published, it would startle and
confound the reader. 1t may with safety
be said that a thousand men are at present
drawing their subsistence from the public
without rendering the slightest service in
return.-N. Y. Tribune.

The STATE FINANcEs.-It is reported
that Treasurer Rhodes has been unsuccess-
full in his attempt to borrow $500, 900 in
New York City. And upon this state
ment many are croaking over the gloomy
prospects of the Silver Commonwealth.
If Treasurer Rhodes does not succeed in
borrowing $500, 900 Of Eastern capital, at
ten per cent. per year, he can borrow, or
the Legislature can procure all it requires,
in San Francisco, for twelve per cent. per
annum. According to the figures in the
Statute Book, for 1866, the State deb,
proper is really not over 1926. 900 a large
contribution to which amount was the
soldiers bounty fund, now not largely &C.
cumulating against the Treasury. From
this our people can draw easy and com,
forting conclusions respecting our State:
good health, financially speaking. Aside
from the expenditure for soldiers bounty
the State income has neared expenses sc
far ; and the mining tax is largely increas
ing each year. With the tax as it is, mex
year will see a surplus in the Treasury
So the prospect is for q reduction in taxa,
ton from and after 1857. At the sam,
time, it IS true the Government, must b,
run with great economical attention. Ne,
vada is not a place for loose legislation OF
the peoples money. One year of Dem
ocratic" rule would send the credit Of tn,
concern to the devil, in straight and I'm,
hating order.

The New York World does Mr.. Greedy
ample justice in the following observa-
tons upon his style as a writer:
We detest sincerely enough the Tn
6une's politics; but we feel q reasonable
professional pride in its journalistic sue
cess--a success mainly due to the marked
peculiarities Of character and sinewy die
ton of its chief editor. His easily dis
tinguishable articles are characterized by
o fervor, directness, succinctness, aptness,
raciness, which, whether he be wrong or
right, land think him oftener wrong than
right,) never fail to enchain attention.
Such q writer in journalism is like a we'll
supported character in the drama; it en-
lists our interests even when we do not
admire its qualities. In the discharge of
our daily duty, to keep the run of the
current Radical arguments, we "bless our
stars and call it luxury" that we can every
morning get at them, without fatigue, in
the slashing. compendious editorials of
the Tribune, instead Of hunting them
through the dreary, cloudy, pointless
scribblings of most of its Radical coadju.
tors. Whether Mr.. Greely's fuel happens
to be shavings or anthracite, his style
blazes up in a clear fame, without smoke.
He has also the valuable secret, open to
all writers, but discerned by fey, of stop
ping when he is done.

4 GOVERNOR BY PRoxY.-By a recent
investigation made by the Iowa Legisla-
,ure, it appears that during his term Of
two years, ending in December last, Gov
ernor Stone, Of Iowa, had not visited the
capital Of the State more than a dozen
times, having transacted the duties Of
Governor by proxy through a private sec
rotary. This secretary was authorized to
sign the Governors name, and he testified
before the Investigating Committee that
he had signed and issued proclamations
appointing days of fasting and prayer and
ordering elections; that he had signed
pardons, reprieves and discharges from
the peni,entiary, and had exercised the
~pardoning power where "he thought JUS
,ice demanded it," that he signed the GER
tifcates Of Iowa's six Congressman, upon
which they TO- sit in Congress; that he
signed death warrants; appointed public
officers and approved their bonds, and, to
make a long matter short, during two
years, he, and not Governor Stone, had
exercised the duties Of Governor. This,
if true, is certainly q very startling revela-
ton, for the duties Of Governor are such
as cannot be delegated from n man to
another. The Governor is bound person.
ally to do oil the ministerial acts apper-
tanning to his office.
