written by an old hand at the desk. suures.
i've OF ways and means to save money in the
BRUSH civil list. He proposes new staff Of
"copyists," to do work now done at a great
expense by gentlemen" and adds:
Such persons should be distinctt,, n, foy,ned
that their promotion to the ,tpper cIgss ,n,,st
be considered hopeless and Impossible bnt in
that retreat might be provided for such as
should find themselves fit for work of supe-
rior description, the limits of age should be
fixed low say from sixteen to twenty-so
that after few years should have passed they
might still be eligible for other situations.
This is meant to be serious, and in England
nobody laughs at IT!
Yet he insists that these mere copyists
would do the work better than it is done now; (;

Gentlemen by birth aud education do not
take kindly to drudgery, and cannot be ex-
pected to work at it with will and in illus

SPEAKER OF THE HoUsE.-Yireinia

SPEAKER OF THE HoUsE.-Virginia, Mas
sachusetts and Kentucky have furnished the
Speakers of the House more than half the
time since the foundation OF the government
Virginia having had the Office fourteen
years, Massachusetts ten years, and Kentucky
eighteen years, making an aggregate Of forty
two years out oil the eighty that the Federal
government has been organized. Next to
tnese States comes Indiana, with eight years
OF the speakership, and PENNSYLVANIA, North
Carolina and Tennessee, each with six years.
The impending contest for the speakership at
Washington renders these facts interesting at
least, if not mportant.-PhiladeLpA Press.

BUTTS AND REPUDIATIoN.-It having been
alleged that Butts, the author of the mammoth
reputation pamphlet, is Republican, the
New Hampshire Statesman rsfutes the charge
thus:
The author of the pamphlet referred to is not
q Republican, but Democrat, who suddenly
became millionaire by operations in Western
Union Telegraph stock. The paper which he
edited until the past three years, is the vilest
and bitterest Copperhead journal in the whole
State, scarcely excepting Brick Pomeroy's.
He never assisted the government, during the
war, by investing a single dollar of his i'm
mense wealth in its securities; which explains
why be is specially in favor of repudiation-as
