RECKLESsNEss OF THE THIRTY
NINTH CONGRESS-.

At IL o'clock on the 4th day Of March the
tenure Of Office bill was most beautifully
illustrated. At that hour, under that law,
the official existence Of sevcnty-six Assessors
and seventy.two Collectors Of internal Reve-
nue., who were rejected or not acted upon by
the Senate, ceased. 1t Immediately became
the duty Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to provide against this extraordinary
interruption in the most important branch Of
the financial department of the Government.
Accordingly he telegraphed to the Assistant
Assessor Of the assessment district, or divi-
sion, where the rejected Assessor resided, in
each district, to at once assume the duties Of
acting Assessor until otherwise ordered
In the cases Of the collectors the senior
deputy collectors Of each district was tele
graphed to assume the duties Of acting col
lector, retaining the Office, in each case
where IL now situated
In the same department Of Government
collectors of customs, surveyors, naval Off
GERS, officers of mints &C., &C., ceased to exist
by the same unwise and summary act Of
Congress.
Our foreign affairs are good deal dsar.
ranged by the same cause.
The business of the Interior Department
is also interrupted.
In the Post Office Department the tenure
of Office bill Is doing great damage. A very
large number OF Offices in different parts Of
the country are without postmasters, and
some first class Offices at that This wa!
mainly caused by the refusal Of the Senate
to confirm good men who were nominated
by The President.
The Senate considered politics paramount
to honesty, capacity and patriotism. Tn
Philadelphia Office was left without a post
master, and the man whose term of ofic
ceased to exist held in his hands about fort,
thousand dollars belonging to the Govern
ment. By congressional legislation his re
sponsibility to the Government terminate
on the 4th inst The Postmaster Genera
had to assume the responsibility, agains
law, of placing some officer in charge of tn
above named Office.
In the Attorney Generals department til
same difficulty exists. The Senate refuse
to confirm or reject the Marshals of MassG
chusetts and Louisiana hence on the 4th G
March there we're no officers to serve a pre-
cess. The result is that in Boston tn
United States courts are stopped for want o
Marshal to perform the functions belong
ing to his Office.
This is specimen of the malignant legi
latiOn of the Thirty-Ninth Congress. La
the people take notice.

Confirmation of Colonel O'Beirne.

Among the combinations by the Senate is
that of Colonel j. r. OBETRNE, Register o
Wills for the District of Columbia, who yes
terday qualified for the duties of his i'm
portant office. Col. O'BEIRNE is eminently
fitted for the position which he holds, and
his confirmation by the Senate is a marked
compliment, and one which Col. O'BEIRNE
richly merits. He served throughout the en-.
tire war with distinction, fought in seventeen
battles, receiving four severe wounds, and
towards the close of the rebellion was as,
signed to the important post of Provost Mar
shall of this District, a position which he ably
filed. We have no doubt that his services

Have we any PicltwicIIian Congress-
"anp

The New York Times Of yesterday has
the following article, in which Hon. Mr..
boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, figures in the
character of Pickwick quite Enthusiastically:
EVERYTHING LovELY.-Mr. Boutwell's state.
ment on Saturday as to the alleged remiss.
ness Of the Government IN re Surratt's ar.
rest, was model III its way He said that
the Secretary Of War might hare been re.
miss; the Secretary of State might hare been
remiss, or the President might hare been re.
miss; but the Investigating Committee did
not charge any wllful neglect on any one,
except that there had been some neglect oil
duty on the part OF some one oral of them.
This statement must be eminently pleasing
to all parties-to the one who is culpable
whoever he may beg as well as to those who
are innocent whoever they are.) 1t is to be
hoped the investigations will be pursued by
next Congress in the style Of this statement
In this connection we must express our
pleasure that Mr.. Boutwell, became so eau
tious toward the close of the session in making
charges against public officers, In reply to
a remark of Mr.. lie Blond, he denied that
he had ever charged any officer Of the Gov.
eminent with willful neglect Of duty, nor did
the Judiciary Committee charge any man
with wilful neglect OF duty and his own con
viction was that there had been no willful
neglect Of duty on the part of any one

tone Of voice that might be heard q half a
square of, Stree" Come up here, Lee"
and up Lee came. Having been duly sworn,
and having sealed his oath with kiss that
smacked as loud as pop-gun, Lee testified
as follows:

to-day, to give time to produce her.--Rich

A GENTLE WIRES ExrLANATIoN.-In the
police court of Chicago a wife thus inge-

harsh treatment of her poor husband zone
day, when she was running across the room,
with fork in her hand, he jumped in her
way and struck his wrist against the fork,
wrenchlng it from her grip by the tines,
which he ran into his wrist Then he under,
took to strike her; but she held up a pan Of
hot dish-water between them and split it all
over his head. Then he got still more angry
at this accident and started to jump at her
but his head came against her hand and he
fell down. She took hold of his hair to help
him up, and the hair was moistened by the
hot water so that it came off. Then she saw
it was no use to reason with him any longer
and she left the house"
