the Internal Revenue If the Government rather
than their own, that they will fling their gra-
tuitous services into the lap of the country for
the very moderate sum of Eighty Dollars per
week. Mr.. Rollins threatened to send in his
unconditional resignation last week, and the
President indulges daily in the most terrific
explosions of inverted benedictiOnS upon the
post-boy, because he don't bring it to the
White House. Yet the present Commissioner,
stln shivering, stands upon the brink
Aud fears to launch away.
Mr.. Alexander Cummings and many Others
have been regulating their cOmings and gOings
so as to roll IN whenever Rollins shall roll out
And plenty of other disinterested gentlemen
are ready to fill the vacancy for the same
trifing compensation. But this is not the most
signal illustration extant of the magnanimity
with which self-sacrfcing office-hoiders are
willing to sacrifice their fortunes and their
sacred honor in the collection of Internal
Revenue. Gen. Young, now Recorder OF Ham
ilton County, an Office worth $4,000, resigns
this fat berth for the appointment of Supervisor
of Internal Revenue for Southern Ohio, the
salary of which is only $4,000 year. We ask
all who have ever doubted the patriotism of
our Revenue officials to pause and admire the
motives which must animate these victims now
prone upon the altar of their country.

Senator, and ex-Secretary Robert ). Walker

The World is aggrieved because the Negro
claiming q seat in Congress from Louisiana
whom n recent Washington letter of ours spoke
of as "not unlikely to get it," is known to the
country neither as a great Soldier nor yet as .
great Statesman. 1--WE do not hear" bemOana
The World, "that this gentleman ever fought
"nobly, nor do we hear of any mental corrus-
"cations on his part" and so on for half q
column. We are glad to learn from The World
It's estimate of the proper qualifications Tor
seat in Congress. Here in New-York, where
its influence, as it tells US, is immense, ana
where, of course, it makes all the congressman,
We have shining illustration or the admirable
manner in which its selections illustrate It's
theory. MeSsrs. Jno. Fox, Jno. Norris
sey, Thomas f. Stewart, j. w. Chanler,
James Brooks, and Fernando Wood are our
immediate Representatives. We do not hear
that these gentlemen have all "fought nObly'
nor do we hear of "mental cOTuscatiOns' on
the part of all of them. But we make no douo'
that Mr. John Morrissey has done enough noble
fighting to answer for half dozen OF hn
colleagues. Then the wretch would be hard
hearted indeed who should refuse to be satisfied
with the mental cOrruscatiOns OF Fernando Wood
Mr.. Chanler, we presume, is to be set down
as one of the noble fighters, and so Is Mr.
Brooks, who means to lead the unterrited
Democracy of his District in crusade against
Castle Garden, with death to the bloody
" Foreigners" upon his banners. The poor
Louisiana negro should study The World, and
the Congressman of its manufacture. When
he can fight nobly like Morrissey, or Chanler,
or Brooks and cOrruscate mentally like Fox
and Wood, he may count that the organ which
has made these great soldiers and statesmen
will be only too glad to lend him also help
ing hand.

A dispatch from COnstantinople states, that
the Turkish ultimatum has really been rejected
by Greece. 1t is even reported that an engage
ment has already taken place between the Greek
steamer Erosis aud a Turkish cruiser, and that
the Greek steamer had taken refuge in the
harbor of Syra, where she was blockaded by
Hobart Pasha, the Admiral of the Turkish
cruiser The Great Powers viii undoubtedly
continue their efforts to preserve peace, but if
they should fail and the war between Turkey
and Greece go on, we shall soon hear of new
outbreaks in Crete in Thessaly, and probably
in other Turkish provinces

What we said in praise of Senator Sherman
Yesterday he forces us to take back to-day.
lie has explained that the Secretary of the
Senate and the reporters of the press were
alike unfortunate in so far misunderstanding
him as to imagine that he had reported the
ringing resolution in favor of National honesty
in the payment of the bonds, printed in yes
terday's issue. Instead of wanting it passed,
he wanted it laid on the table-which is not so
good as we had hoped of Mr.. Sherman.

The House Post Office Committee astonsh Us
by reporting a bill correcting some of the
grosser abuses of the Franking Swindle. We
shall be more astonishcd if it should pass.
And yet we lave hope. The outrageous abuses
that led to a deficiency of million dollars in
the Post Office Department for money spent in
hauling over the country cart-loads of cleo
toneering pamphlets under printed franks, are
too gross for members to dare go upon the
record as in favor of upholdlng them.

Not content with broad gauge through
line to Cincinnati, the Erie Railroad is now
,reported to be in active negotiation for the
control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Day
ton Road, which, with its Eastern connections,
would secure an almost or quite unbrOken mar
gauge line, between New-YOrll and Gin
cinnati. The magnificent schemes of Erie seem
suddenly to have overleapt all petty barriers
of courts, injunctions, lack of dividends, and
the like, and scared at no less an aim than n
monopoly of through travel Westward.
