The Lien Dnckei nill.

Following the legislation Of 1864 on
this subject, comes another bill cover.
ing the same ground but moro offensive
TO the people In its details. The first
section provides that cit shall be the
duty OF the surveyor general to make
"out aud forward to the several county
surveyors land lien dockets' for the
counties respectively, similar to those
heretofore furnished the prothonotar-
"ies, with such additional entries
"relaling to patenting tracts or parts of
"tracts since made; and 1t shall be the
duty OF each county surveyor to pre-.
'serve said docket and deliver the same
"to his successor in Office"
BY act of 1864 these dockets were
Kept In the prothonotary's Office where
they could be seen and examined by all
men, but this bill would send the new
ones to a county surveyor-an officer OF
no Importance, and whose election is
generally matter Of compliment. In
fact in very many counties the com.
missions are not taken. But even
when they do qualify as arule they dc
not reside at the county seat, but in tht
country, where it is difficult to reach
them. The people in search of needed
Information must find a perambulatins
surveyor, whose duties generally keeI
MIN from home.
But if this section is bad the fourth il
iniquitous. 1t provides that the county
surveyor every three months shall max,
II report to the surveyor general ,settin(
forth the names Of warrantees' dates o
warrants, ETC., aud the names of thI
owners, agents or occupiCrs ofunpateut
ed tracts upon whom he has served tht
notices. "Aud for each notice to the own
s,agents or occupiers Of an impatient
led tract or remaining part of an unpat
tented tract he shall he entitled to fe
'offive dollars to be paid out of the Stat
treasury on warrants drawn by th
auditor general upon the certificate o.
the surveyor general" The gist of tn
bill is here seen. If passed it woulC
not only give inquisitorial powers t.
The surveyor, but in some couutie
would yield him an enormous salary
La LuzernS county, we are Informed, i
would give him $4,000 per annum 70
a simple notice, and he is to judge rs t
whom they are to be served upon. II
charges five dollars and the amour
comes out of the state treasury. /
tract may have hundred "occupiers,
and if notices were sent to each yer,
three months, rs provided in the bill
the surveyor would receive rom noti
ces relating to tina. one tract $1,000.
| Section five is absurd and unmean
ing. The last clause in giving tn
surveyor additional fees provides tha
his fees shall be the same as for exc
cutting a warrant of the same quuntit!
Of acres as now provided by law. Th
sixth section is also vicious, because i
authorizes the county surveyor to nc
as a deputy sheriff.

Strange as ii may seem, nevertheless
II Is strictly true, that the nomination
OF Judge Davis and Gov. Parker EN-.
bodies and asserts the one great princi-
pie Of thesupramacy of law, and espec.
ial'y that supremacy in antagonism to
military usurpation. 1t was Judge
Davis who delivered the opinion of the
Supreme Cortland that, too, before
the ashes Of war were entirely cooled
which denounced and crushed for over
the infamy Of military commissions.
When the brave people of the North
west, irrespective of party, rose in
peaceful revolt and appealed to the
Federal Judiciary for redress, Judge
Davis not only granted 1t in the form In
which 1t was sought, but sent word to
Abraham Lincoln that If the aggressive
outrages of his military lackey were
persisted in, there would be orgonized
and popular resistance, and that he
David Davis, would, if need be, put
himself at the head Of it. And Mr.
Lincoln never did himself greater hon.
or than by accepting the advice, as ne
instantly did, of his long tried and
trusted friend, for he Immediately re
Voked the offensive order. Every one
remembers the contest and its issue in
New Jersey, last Autumn. 1t was the
squarest fight, down to that time, ever
fought over the merits of Grantism :
and the Administration so regarded it.
Gov. Parker's success was the first open
check to Grantism, and in recognizing
the fact, and selecting him as one Of
their candidates, the great army of
Labor Reform throughout the country,
be the ultimate complications and re
suits what they may, is openly enlisted
against the common enemy Of Federal
usurpation and abuse. = WdSh. Patyi3t

THOSE who stickle for the purity and
efficiency Of our naval administration
are invited to ponder these facts. The
United States steamer Tennessee had
engines placed In her which cost the
government $4,000. These engines
propelled the ship just five and half
knots an hour. When it was attempt
ed to increase the revolutions to thirty
turns per minute and the speed of the
ship to six knots the brasses grew so
hot and the machinery so crazy that
the whole structure was endangered.
AT last, on her return from voyage of
900 miles, it was concluded to remove
the machinery and put in new COM
pound engines, This work is now be
ing done by firm which is to get $500,
600 and the old engines. These old en-
gines are offered for $50, 900, without
finding buyers. Government pays
$4,000 for what nobody else will pay
$50, 1000 for. How is that for economy +?

DR.. MoREAU MORRIS has prepared q
code Of rules which should be strictly
followed by all those who have TO deal
with scarletina. The patient should be
placed in separate room and no one
allowed to enter it except the nurse
and physician, or to touch the clothing
or bedding until it has been thoroughly
disinfected. With regard 70 infected
things DIR. Morris writes:
All clothing, bedding, and other arti-
les not absolutely necessary for the use
If the patient should be removed from
he sick room. Articles used about the
1atient, such as sheets, pillow. cases, or
clothes, must not be removed from the
lick room until they have been disin.
ected by placing them in a tub with
he following disinfecting solution ::
Iunce carbolic acid, three gallons of
water. They should be soaked in this
duid for one hour, and then be thrown
INTO boiling water and thoroughly
washed. Feather and hair pillows and
mattresses require fumigation, and
should not be removed from tho sick
Dom until this has been done. All
vessels used to receive the discharges of
patients should have some OF the above
'olution kept constantly in them, and
immediately after their use be removed
rom the sick room and emptied. Wa
ier.clOsets and privies must also be dis
infected daily with some of the same
solution. A piece Of muslin, one foot
'quare, should be dipped in the solution
aud suspended in some part of the room
constantly; and the same be kept In
Railways adjacent to the sick room. All
straw beds should be burned after use.
1t is advised not to use handkerchiels
about the patient, but rather old. soft
rags. which should be immediately
burned after use. The ceilings and side
walls of the sick room should be thor
oughly cleansed ald lime-W washed
whenever the patient has been removed
therefrom.

We doubt very much whether tie ac.
tual condition of the public finance has
ever been thoroughly understood dur.
ing Mr.. Boutwell's administration, and
certainly, recent developments would
seem TO show that no understanding is
possible. Neither the figures of Secre
tery Boutwell, nor of the Register of the
Treasury agree with his own state.
mentS. He claims to have reduced the
public debt almost $500 100000. In his
report to Congress he states that re
ductinn had been made, in the last two
fiscal years, of $l95, ,929 6sl--but his Of.
fetal reports published monthly show
a reduction of s2O6, ,1l5,750. There is
here difference of $40, 100000. Again,
take the figures of the Secretary and
those of the Register as to the public
debt:

Io7O.... 2,,S9,6i2,il7 2,3s6,3is,5e9 9i,3l3 so
In a comparison with himself Mr.
Boutwell, comes out no better:
For 1853 see Boutwells report OF that
For 1853 See Boatwels fs bort
Discrepancy. s6s,oOO,OJ
Here is discrepancy of sGS, 100000
What reliance can be placed on any
figures of Secretary who can max,
such errors as these. But there are YET
greater: in the annual reports ofthe Sec
retary and Register stating the public
debt from 1861 to 1870 inclusive, there
will be found the astonishing discrep
ancy of $3.50, ,929 4S3! The reports nevei
agree for those ten years.
But the most extraordinary part o
the whole matter is that in the last re
port OF the Secretary this discrepancy
vanishes into thin air end all is correct
Now this kind of arbitrary book-keep
ing may suit the purposes of the Ad
ministration but will hardly prove sat
isfactory to the country. There is ur
gent need Of strict investigation int
the affairs of the Treasury, to decid
whether these differences are due t
fraudulent practices or to inexcusabl,
bad bookkeeping. AS matters nov
are, it is impossible to arrive at any
just appreciation of the state of thu
Treasury. We have long believed tina
an investigation would reveal such
condition of affairs as would put to tn
blush Tammany's populations ant
frauds; such enormities as would com
pei the world to stand aghast and caus
even the people of this country, ,familia
with frauds, to cry aloud for justice
Let the investigation be had at once.

Poetry.
Fireside Fancfes.

Strange fancies crowd around me here
Sitting by the fire,
Fancies, dreams of long ago,
Fitting come and fitting 60,
And dance within the crimson glow
That the Pickering embers throw.
From the dead past, they've come to cheer
A sorrowing hour.
And my spirit fits among them,
Like mournful friend;
Spirits they of days long fed,
Only spirits of the dead,
Merry moments that once sped
Ger my happy childish head;
And now they GRO xd in memory's dream,
Shadows DER my mind.
Childhood's days, but oh how changed!
And fitting round the fire.
They danced at first on hopes bright wings
Now hope has left the fairy things,
And all the beauty that it brings
Is dead-al the world has stings
That make my spirit half estranged
From its own mem ries here.
oh life may be merry dream "
When its short span is DER;
And ell our days of care and woe
May fitting come and fitting go.
When eternity will show
Why the world has panied US SO,
In every tear q gem may CLEAN
We never saw before.
