PoLIcE CoURT.-The first to make his bow
before his Honor the Mayor on yesterday
morning, was one Timothy Kelter. Tim
othy was plainly but fearfnlly drunk. For
enjoying this luxury he was fined $5; but
as he lacked the "kelter" wherewith to set
tie, he is now domiciled at the city chateau.
James Roberts, after having imbibed a
frightful quantity of fighting benzine, came
to the conclusion that he could knock down
and drag out any man in these diggings, and
that Mike McCoole or Aaron Jones couldn't
hold candle to him. But James was soon
convinced that he labored' under a benzine
hallucination when he found himself in the
hands of the police, who tenderly and care
fully escorted him to the city prison. After
enjoying good nights rest, he paid his
respects to his Honor, who charged him SIS
for his lodging, which he cheerfully shelled
out, and retired in good order. -''9l
A worthy trio, respectively named John
Kock, Lewis Miller and Peter Baker, was
found sloshing around promiscuously with
a pocket full of bowlders-loose and In
handkerchiefs-and conducting themselves
In very disorderly manner. They were
overhauled by policeman who feared they
meant mischief, eased of their load of rocks,
and taken to the chateau. They were fined
90 each, which they paid, and retired in
evident disgust.

MArHrMArIcAI.-In thase .dnn time

MATHKMATIcAL.-In these duh times
newspaper writers generally indulge in
great many fancies that are very pretty,
but which would never appear in priat If
more important matters were passing. A
mathematical contemporary compares men
and locusts, with respect to the relative
amount OF noise made by each. He says
that "a locust can be heard at the distance
OF one-sixteenth of a mile. The golden
wren is said to weigh but half an ounce,
SO that a middling sized man would weigh
down not short of four thousand of them,
and 1t must be strange If golden wren
would not outweigh four of our locusts.
Supposing, therefore, that common man
weighs as much as sixteen thousand of
our locusts, and that tine note of a locust
can be heard one-sixteenth of mile, a
man of common dimensions, pretty sound
in wind and limb, with noise in proportion
to bulk, ought to be able to make himself
heard at distance of one thousand six
hundred miles, and when he sneezed his
house ought to fall about his ears!' Sup
posing flea to weigh one grain, which 10
more than his actual weight, and to jump
one and half yards, common man of one
hundred and fifty pounds, with jumping
powers in proportion, could jump twelve
thousand eight hundred miles,"

NUMBER 20.
Our onice Holding Army.

There are two hundred and forty collection
districts in the United States, with collector
and an assessor for each district, making four
hundred and eighty of these officers in all.
ot deputy collectors there are about twenty
i've hundred, and Of the assistant assessors
about three thousand. OF the regular
revenue agents authorized by the Internal
Revenue law, there are ten; but to these
should properly be added the special agents
OF the Treasury Department, who are exclu.
sively employed on internal revenue matters
ny regular assignment to that duty, and of
these there are, perhaps, Eve Then follow
inspectors Of distilled spirits. coal oil, snuff.

nood OF two hundred. 1t will be thus seen
that we have force Of considerably moro
than SIX thousand in this branch of the ser.
vice. II to this number were added the cleri-
cal and other forces that have been created
by the operation of the exercise law, the sg.
gregate would sum up Mt least ten thousand.
This may be regarded by many as an enor.
nous force and without parallel but there i,
an other branch of the public service which
embraces more appointments within its range
than internal revenue. or any two or threc
branches of the civil list, combined-and that
is the Post. Office Department.. The total
number of post. Offices in the United States on
the thirtieth day Of June, 1866, was twenty.
nine thousand three hundred and eighty nine.
But ofthese only twenty y-three thousand eight
hundred and twenty eight were in regular
operation at that date, and energetic exer.
tions were being made to open such of tho
remainder as were located south of Mason
and Dixon's line. We think it safe to saw
that the whole number Of these officers in
full and. uninterrupted operation at this date
closely approximates thirty thousand Ofthis
number, the law gives seven hundred and
nine appointments to the President. and the
remainder TO the Postmaster. Generel. 1t may
be needless to state that of the internal rev.
emo appointments, the four hundred and
eighty appointments of principals are given
to the President and the remainder are made
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, upon the
nomination of the assessors and collectors to
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. and
his recommendation to the Secretary for ap.
pointment-the principal being that, as the
assessors and collectors solely are responsible
for the proper execution Of the law within
thier respective district they should be a.
lowed to select their own suhordinates. We
have thus six thousand two hundred internal
revenue officers and nearly thirty thousand
postofice incumbents.
