of this sum in paying the annual rent
Of The house he occupies, his prospects
OF rest and ease in the future are not
very fiattering.
There are near the city of Wheeling
several localities that might be con.
verted into thriving suburbs and afford
pleasant homes for many of our work
ingmen if some plan like the following
were adopted: Let a company be
formed to purchase tract of ground,
say forty or fifty acres, two or three
miles from the city on the line of the
Hempfeld railroad. After laying out
streets, let the tract he divided into lots
OF suitable size, and comfortable cottages
erected on one half of the lots at the
expense OF the company. Then offer
these for sale on easy terms and at long
time, at such annual payments as will
not much exceed the rents paid for SIM
liar houses in the city. There can be
little doubt that the lots would meet
with ready sale; that the company
would realize largely upon its invest
ment; and that this plan Of obtaining
a home would be eagerly and thankfully
embraced by many who see no other
means, however distant, of escaping
from the burden of house rent.
Pittsburgh is extending its suburbs
in this way almost every year. Last
Saturday one hundred and twenty lots
were sold in few hours in new viii
lage called Homestead" five miles
above the city on the Monongahela
river. By the terms of sale the pur-
chaser has ten years in which to make
his payments, without interest, and q
policy OF life insurance paid for by the
land company, secures the property to
his family in case of his death. This
last is rather a novel feature in such
transactions, but a very prudent and
sensible one. About three hundred
lots were to be sold yesterday in the
same place and on the same terms.
Will not some OF our capitalists earn
the thanks OF very many who desire to
purchase homes in this vicinity by the
adoption of similar plan?

The only result of the constant labf OF
large class OF our people is simply
that they live from year to year; they
are no richer this year than last and,
with the present difficulty OF acquiring
property, there is not much probability
that they will have any more next year
than this. The house rents consume every
dollar OF wages that can be saved from
the cost of food and clothing. We be,

pared with those in other cities; real
estate here does not as a general thing
yield large per cent. OF profit to its
owner; but the trouble lies in the
whole system Of renting.

he is no better off than at the beginning.
The Building Associations that were SO
popular a few years ago did something
to remedy this evil, and there are many
laboring men owning homes in the city
to-day who have received substantial
aid from these Associations. They

Radical Corruption.

Corruption appears to be one Of the
distinguished features Of Radicalism.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette Carbohydrates this
revelation in one Of his letters:
Every curious circumstances connect
ed with the payment Of the Pennsyl-
vania war claims have just come to
light. A member Of the city government
here went, a short time since, to the
Secretary of the Treasury and asked to
have the moneys about to be paid to the
State Agent on account of that claim
withheld, on the ground that he and a
prominent Federalofficer holder in
Philadelphia had not received a per
cent. from the agent for procuring the
appointment ofthe latter. The Secre-
tary promptly declined to interfere.
About the same time a protest came
from the Auditor OF Pennsylvania to
the Secretary, asking that no more war
rants be paid to the State Agent, for
the reason that none already paid had
been deposited at Harrisburg. There
was reason to suppose that the money
had been deposited in Philadelphia
bank, and was being used in private
speculation. In accordance with the
Auditors request the installment OF
S26S, 900 was sent direct. Thus far the
agent had drawn the following amounts:
August Is, 1870, $l30,S47.09: August
6, 1871, Sl37, S22; May Is, 1871, S242,'

1t appears that whenever public
money touches the fingers of a large
number of Radical officials, Federal or
State, it manifests strong inclination
to stick"

MutiIated Currency.

The Postoffice Gazette, published at
Washington. d. c., is the recognized
organ of the Post-oflice Department
The subject of mutilated currency in
connection with the p. o. Department
having attracked good deal of atten-
tion, and been source of a great deal of
ANNOYANCE to Postmasters, it has finally
been given attention through the official
paper of the department. In the issue OF
April, 1871, the 2. o. Gazette has a let
ter from Treasurer Spinner, in which he
says:
''In reply l have to say that l never
ventured to instruct Postmasters in re-
lation to the receipt of currency by them,
nor have l ever, properly speaking, made
any decision on the subject"
After quoting the laws and regulations
of the Treasury Department bearing on
the subject he winds up as follsws:
"Under the above mentioned circular,
Postmasters sre not required to receive
such notes.
This ought to be conclusive. and no
doubt it will be. Postmasters pay out
every dollar of the money they receive
for stamps at their Post-offices, and send
no money to the United States Treasury.
Therefore. they can only receive such
money in payment for stamps as they
may be enable to pass out again.
The Editor of the post-otfice Gazette
winds up with an article on the subject
as follows:
I'm conclusion. we repeat. with empha-
sis. Postmasters, refuse all mutilated currency
