GET MONEY HONESTLY, IF YOU CAN
1T is said that when the Honorable John
Sherman abandoned his profession and
took to the Member of Congress business
a few years ago, he was worth about FIVE
thousand dollars. Now he is worth be.
tween seven hundred thousand and mil.
lion Of dollars, consisting in Indian and
railroad lands, national bank stocks, Wash
ipgton street railroads, etc. Mark ye, all
in concerns that obtained charters through
Congressional lobbying. Bingham was
one of the original incorporates of the
Union Pacific Railway, which got 81, OOO,.
600 acres Of public lands, besides twenty
millions Of each subsidy from Radical
Congress, of which he was member.
His wealth now almost passes computation.
These are the chiefs Of faction that has
attempted, and so far succeeded in delud-
ing the people into belief in its honesty
and patriotism. The rule seems now for
all men, who by any chance can obtain
Office, to use that Office for personal pur.
poses, to make money by accepting brides,
or downright robbery. When the chief
Of all exhibits such a peculiarly plant
conscience in such matters, what must we
expect from the subordinates Let the

OFFICIAL STur,Di.Y-Hoven CsbA,
Secretary of;he Treassry under Bsehssaa,
related to US an incident illestratisg he
difficulty Of CONFIRMING the public ssrsies
to the system Of party rewards sssssally
practiced in the bes,owal Of Fsderal ap-
pointmcnts. When Mr.. Cobb entered the
Cabinet the nomination Of al Federal CO.
GERS in his own State was accorded to hin.
He found no difficulty 10 securing eapabls
and efficient men to GIL the various places
but in the case Of Postmaster for the coun.
ty town in the county of his own residence.
The town was fearfally opposed 70 the De.
mocracy politically, and no Democrat Of
sufficient qualifications to suitably discharge
the duties of the Office could be found to
accept the position; and hence, to vindi-
cate the principle Of party rewards and
punishmeuts, it become necessary to ap.
point man more distinguished for his
devotion to his party than for his literary
requirements. The consequence was that
innumerable complaints were made to the
Department in regard to the management
Of the Office, all Of which the Postmaster
General referred to Mr.. Cobb, who promis-
ed to investigate the matter. A6 oppor-
tunity occurred on visit to his home dur
ing the summer vacation. He visited the
Office and satisfied himself that the Post.
master was entirely faithful and honest,
and that the errors which had occurred in
the Office were all " errors of the head and
not Of the heart;" as, for instance, all of
the letters with the prefix Of Mr." on the
address were put in the NJ box, and not
delivered until the letters we're called for
in the exact terms Of the superscription
The Postmaster explained that there were
so many more letters addressed in that way
than the NJ box would contain that he was
obliged to lay aside many of them, and
some might have thus got lost. This story
has been forcibly brought to our recollec.
ton by its almost exact counterpart in the
post Office in this town. Some time after
the present Postmaster took possession he
brought to our Office letter which We had
been auxiously looking for week or more,
aud which had been retained 10 the Office
all that time because only the initial letter
was used for our Christian name in the
address Two letters addressed in the
same way have since been detained 10 the
office from three to ten days, because they
were addressed to "B. Brown, Esq" in.
stead Of "Bcriah Brown" as We usually
write it. We are very far from imputiug
to our worthy Postmaster dishonesty or
malice, but it is unfortunate for persons
doing business with the Office that his am.
bition and Gar6elde's political necessities
could not have been compromised 10 some
other way than by an Office which be has
SO little capacity to fill with credit to him.

LOCAL MATTERS.

TIE New Police ORp1NANcE.-Owing to
the crowded condition of our columns yes
terday, we were compelled to omit notice
OF the changes which are embraced in the
new police ordinance. They ore as follows
The second section reduces tho number of
captains from seven to three, and the num-
ber of men from one hundred to eighty.
From the men ten sergeants are to be ap-
pointed-three for each captain and one for
court-r duty. One captain must reside
in each police district.
Section fifth provides for proper system
of relief, so that ut oil times during the
day one-fourth of the force shall be on
duty, and tbrec-fourths during the night.
One-fourth will be required to sleep at the
station-houses as reserve force. This
section differs from the old ordinance in
the addition of the aforementioned provi-
sion, and otherwise only insomuch as it be-
comes necessary to conform to the reduction
of the force.
Section twenty-eighth provides certain
height and age for the members of the
force. While we know that some of the
best members of the force ore beyond the
prescribed limits, and being already in the
force, cannot be affected by this ordinance,
we cordially commend this provision.
Large and imposing-looking men are much
more effective as policemen than small men.
Not SO much in reality, however, as in the
looks of the thing. And then, as the force
has been reduced in numbers, it is neces-
sary to increase it in corporal size.
