A STARTLING STATEMENT.
The Moneys Annually Stolen suffioientto Pay
the National Debt.

1t is scarcely possible for any statcmen,
as to the corruption of government officials,
or the immensely Of the thieveries practised
GU the people Of this much enduring coun.
try, TO be startling. Yet the following facts
given by Mr., ieuches IA radical congress-
man IN an address made By him in New
York, Saturday last, have the meri, Of being
vivid presentation Of the eseutdsgrace
tal condition Of affairs. He said
have the testimony Of the officials Of
the government who have charge OF the bu
suess of the country. Commissioner Well,
says IN his recent report that the losses in
the revenue have, through the corrupt OIL
cIals employed, been very great. Then
again look at the trials now going on. As
suming that Sl5j000,OOO are the receipts
from the internal revenue-the commission
er believes that there would be an increase
Of $4,000 600 as n minimum obtained
without any practical difficulty, aq the law
now stands. And the commissioner of Gus
toms states that there ought to be an in.
crease Of $50 100000 in the receipts. For
tue IaSt year the recelph OF the internal
revenue we're el53,OOOO oO and the receipts
Of the customs $10COQOOO. The special
commissioner OF the Internal revenue puts
the increase ut $I5,OOO,OOO, and the com
missioner OF customs tells us that 1t ought
to be S21,OOO,OOO Of an increase. Here
you have the reports OF the special officers
Of the government TO the fact that 100000.
600 annually are either diverted into the
pockets Of fraudulent officers or into the

transact business and hold real estate in any

A School of Journalism

Since we have schools for the benefit Of
incipient lawyers, doctors, clergymen, why
should we not have school for editors
Journalism has become as distinct and i'm.
portant profession rs either law, medicine,
or divinity, aud men need to BE- carefully and
thoroughly educated for it, The ability to
edit newspaper is entirely distinct from
the ability to write leading article, and
the possession Of the one by no means i'm.
plies the possession Of the other, An editor
can become master Of the duties Of HE
profession only by long experience just as
a lawyer can acquire thorough knowledge
Of practice only by practice. Nevertheless
tho law.school is Of great benefit in teaching
the student the rudiments not only Of Law
but Of practice aud q school Of journalism
could at least, instruct the student in til,
true theory Of editorial duty. Precisely hov
such school should be conducted it woulc
be very difficult to say, but there is manifest
! ly not only room, but real demand for it
! We have an abundance Of good newspape
writers, but paucity Of sklliul editors

Walksr's Distriet. --Messrs. Fleury, Me Crackin and Harvey came to town from the Baseta mili, head of Lynx creek, Wednes- day last, through snow from six inches 10 four feet in depth. It was as much as the party could do to make town, and had 1t not been for Mac. and Peter, Mr. Pleury, who is unaccustomed to mountain life, could not have succeeded in reaching port.n We called upon Mir. fleury yesterday evening, and found him very stiff indeed, from the effects of the trip. He informed us that about 20 tons of refuse rock had been crushed, but that owing to the intense cold, which prevented amzigamation in the smalgamator and the arastrss, they were unable to get the gold together. As soon as the weather moderates sufficiently to admit of working, it is his m tention to run Ihe mill, day and night, upon a large lot of Iie-Iie ore belonging to \. A. French.
 Owing to the departure of Chas. Berger for San Francisco, ell work, fexcept tunnell- ing) has been stopped at tne Sterling. We learn that it is the intention of Mir. Borgef to bring with him ten or fiireen more stamIs for the mill, besides other machinery, acids, etc, for chlorinaticn.
