WnERE THE LEAKAGgs ARE.-The
Springfield RGp"Jlican says: Caleb b.
Smithc, Lincoln's Secretary Of the Inte-
ror, used to say that if he dared, he
could run his department with half its
for e of clerks, and for half it's cost. Mr..
1IcCitlloch might have put it even
stronger than that about bis department.
There are to-day twice as many clerks as
are seeded, to say nothing OF the quality
of them, Of which We may judge some
thing OF the fact that Mr. MrCuloch tol-
Grated Delmar, BMckicy and Spencer NJ.
Clark, Gen. Walker, who succeeded Del
mar in the statistical Bureau of the Treas
Lry Department, some three weeks since
recommended the discharge of twelve
clerks, thus making n saving OF $4,000
a@nually, in one little corner Of the great
treasury building, and lie pledged him
sell that rtc work I, tho Office sbonld not
sian n dsv on n, count Of their discharge.
But Congress c.>'Ge rushing to the
rescue Of their piategcs, and up to the
last accounts only three ofths 'Welve had
been discharged, willie fouf were trans
iorred to other bureaux, where they wc.-
as surertuous MS before. The instant the
other secretary comes in the other iivo
will 60, and the four transferred ones
will bc likely to go too. In almost every
large custom house, the same sweeping
DM ought to tako place. The Now York
custom house is notorionsly nest of nm
clean birds. There arc many ofths Same
brood at Boston, both in the custom
house aud the internal ievenu service.

THE Tenure-ot-O Office Law is to be sus-
pended indefinitely. That is the conelu-
sion, it is reported, to which the Jmdicia-
ry Committee Of the Senate has COME
The House, having repealed the law, will
not be unwilling To concur in IFS sus-
pension. So, if the Senate approves the
report of the committee, the law will be
out of tho way, and leave clear field Tor
action. ''''
This is the only course that Congress
can take, If it be its desire to see the
present ineumbunts of Federal Offices put
out. Grants resolution not as general
rule to make any removals, but simply
to fill the vacancies, while the law is in
force, is straIegical movement that was
not anticipated. by enforcing it, the
odium of any failure to improve on the
condition OF things under tho recent adj
ministration would inevitably fall upon
those who refused to unite the presidents
hands Its suspension will put the res

The "OHicial Almanac of the Roman
Catholic Church for the year 1869" pre-
sents the following interesting informa-
ton: The present pope was born May
l3, 1892; was elected pope in June 1916.
The cardinals are thus divided: Of the
order of bishops, 2; of the order Of
priests, 40; of the order Of deacons, s.
The hierarchy of the church in the U.
S..consists of seven provinces, including
seven archdioccses, forty-fve dioceses,
seven vicarates apostolic. In charge Of
these are seven archbishops, forty.nine
bishops, three administrators, four mitred
abbotts, and 3,475 priests. The number of
churches is $500. The number of Roman
Catholics is gradually diminishing in the
Southern States, where it was never very
large, and is largely on the increase in
New England, the Middle and the Vests
ern States.

The PACIFIC RAILwAY.-This great
work is moving forward at giants speed.
The Union Pacific have completed 1000
miles west of Omaha, and the Central
Pacific 500 east of Sacramento. The Un>
ion Pacific has go miles moro to complete;
the Central Pacific l57 miles. The two
roads are to unite their iron bars at Mon
ument Point, at the head of Salt Lake.
Both tracks will be completed by the 5th
of April, and it is now quite certain that
the first train of cars will 60 through
from Omaha to Sacramento, a distance Of
l,767 miles, by the LIST of May, 1869. 1t
will be the grandest commercial event Of
the century, and exalt the American name
throughout the world almost as proudly
and grandly as did the victory of the ma
ton over the great rebellion.

KEoKUK, Iowa, Feb. IA diabolical
murder was committed about IL o'clock
yesterday. A man by the name of Henry
Walters, wcll-to.do farmer, residing
about five miles from this city, was killed
in most horrible manner. The account
given by the murdered mans adopted son
is as follows: He says that his father aud
himself were riding through ravine, for
the purpose of selecting some slaves to
commence building barn on the follow
ing day, when four fends in human form
appeared on the brow of hill IS or 100
yards distant, and one of them fred.
This frighted tho horses, and both were
thrown from their beast. The young man,
seeing the men advance, ran, and left his
father lying where he was thrown, and,
when he returned with assistance, he
found him dead. DR.. Clapham, who was
called at the port mortem examination,
stated that the murdered man was shot by
a ride-tall in the back, after which his
murderers beat his head to a jelly, using
club and rock for the purpose. The
head had fourteen gashes, and the skull
was fractured in eight places. The pslice
are actively engaged in trying to ferret
out the fiends.

pY ALEXANDER POPE.

Father of all in ev'ry age,
In ev'ry Cline, ador'd,
by saint, by savage, and by sage,
Jehovah, Jove, or Lord!
Thou GREAT YrRsr CAUSE, least understood
Who all my sense confin'd
To know but this, that Thou art good,
And that myself am blind;
Yet gave nae, in this dalk estate,
To see the good from i'll:
And binding Nature fast in fate,
Left free the human will.
What conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to do,
This teach me more than hell to shun, a
That more than Heav'n pursue.
What blessings Thy free bounty gives,
Let me not cast away;
For God IS paid, when man receives,
T. enjoy, is to obey.
Yet not to carth's contracted span,
Thy goodness let me bound,
Or think thee Lord alone of Man,
When thousand worlds are round.
Let not this weak, unknowing hand,
Presume thy bolts to threw;
Aud deal damnatioA round the land,
On each I judge thy foe.
II am right, Thy grace impart,
Still in the right to stay;
If l am wrong, oh teach I.y heart
To find that better way!
Save me alike from foolish pride,
Or impious discomfort,
At aught thy wisdom has denied,
Orausht thy goodness lent.
Teach me to feel another's woe;
To hide the fault [ see;
That ercy to others show,
That mercy show to ME.
Mean tho am, not wholly SO,
Since qnicken'd by thy breath:
O lead, wheresoc'er 1 go,
Thro' this days life or death.
This day, be bread and peace my lot:
All else beneath the sun,
Thou know st il best bestOw'd or not,
And let thy will be done.
To thee, whose temple is all space,
Whose altar, earth, sea, skies
One chorus let all beings raise!
All natures incense rise.
