SINNERS GIRLS.

The Washington Capital contains the
following account of the manner in which
the United States Treasurer received
the proposition to cut down his clerical
force. If ever profanity is excusable,
it is when it gives expression to senti-
ments like these:
General Spinner, the friend Of women
and aged watch dog of the Treasury
during the late raid on the Department
by an economical Congress, stood firm,
and came off victorious. When the
Committee sent for him, and very I'M
pertinently inquired how many clerks
he could spare from his bureau, he re-
sponded:
"None, sir; 1 lave not one super
numerary. Indeed, 1 have work-fem-
mime work-gentlemen, for more"
When informed that it was necessary
to cut down his force the old gentleman
waxed wroth.
"By-, gentlemen" he cried, 81
take that to be a vote of censure. 1
know my business, by -. I have
no drones in my hive, therefore, if you
resolve to cut down my force include
me, for the President shall have my
resignation"
This bureau, however, did come un-
der the restrictions, and four females
received legal notice that their services
were nc longer required by the Depart
ment. When this fact reached the ears
of Old Spin, he called his clerks, male
and female, before him, and said:
Fellows, an attempt by this id
brGgarly mean Congress is being made
to turn some of You out. Now, when
they turn any one of you fellows out,
by ---,thcy turn me out. But / won't
go. No, dammisoul if I go a step, nor
shall you. The fournotiiied to quit will
continue their work. l take the re-
sponsibility and Ill pay EN- out of the
conscience fund. 1t couldn't be put to
u better use. Now, fellows, danger
souls, go to work"
The mel broke out into loud cheers,
and the women burst into tears. Then
IL cherub little miss of about sixteen
threw her arms Historically around him
and kissed him. At this all rushed at
the benevolent old swearer, and he was
nearly sutfocated, for the thermometer
stood at ninety.
The dear, p%rofane old soldier! Wish
we had an army of that sortl

THE ELECTION Law.

Bills have been introduced into both
Houses. and one has passed the House Of
Representatives providing for the election
Of Judges Of the Supreme and Superior
Courts. Solicitors. Members Of Congress
&c. &c.
Il might have been though. that the pro-
visions for the election Of these officers was
sufficiently clear, without farther legisla-
ton, but the usual tendency Of radical of-
Zee holders to maintain their hold. has rails

minds as 10 the proper construction Of rights
and duties, under that clause Of the Con-
situation providing for The filling Of yaean-
ciss By The Governor and the Limitation Of
the Official existence Of bis sppOiDtees.
The only reason. almost. for the use Of
the above bills arises from the vacancies
which have occurred in the Supreme Court,
and on the Circuit Court Leneh, and the
difficulty in giving the proper construction

THE MEXICAN vETERANS.


Asis generally known, meeting Of d
considerable number Of the survivors Of the
Mexican war took place in Washington
City on the 10th. to take steps to bring BE-
fore Congress- the long deferred claims 10
the justice aud generosity Of the General
Government.
We merely design to call attention tothe
resolution Of Mr.. J. ". Griffith Of Iowa.
urging 81 delegates to use their influence
with the State Legislatures to pass joint
resolutions calling upon members o. Con-
gress to pass acts carrying out the objects
Of the Convention.
The suggestion should commend itself ut
once to the consideration Of our Legislature
without farther argument or appeal. II
should take hold Of the subject with deter
niination. and demand from Congress 40
equal share Of that scanty pittance which
government always 50 reluctantly dolesout
to those BY whose blood and toll its power
has been displayed, its character illustrate
ed and its territory aggrandised.

chiefly i the country indebted to the mag,
ni6ceut results Of the Mexican war; for ibe
acquisition Of California, the most brilliant
gem In its constellation, for new Mexico
for Arizona. for the larger portiouof Tex
as. It was the acquisition Of solid. sub
stantial. real wealth. before which the con-
quests Of Cortez and PiIarro, with all their
immediate gorgeous results, sink into
comparative insignifcance.
The nation is under load Of obligation
to these veterans, which rothing. not even
participation in the so called rebellion. can
cancel. Il is its standing rcproach, that
any consideration should have postponed
their rightful claims.
The time seems to have come. when sec.
tional passion has so far subsidized as TO be
able to look with impartial and uuprejudic-
ed eve upon the soldiers from the South
who fought N Mexico for the honor and the
gain Of a common country. The exaspera-
tions Of the late civil War are dying out.

Is it right, is il honorable, that thu
claims Of the few survivors Of the bloody
fields and deadly climate Of Mexico. Should
be abandoned in their old age to distress
and poverty, because some Of them ma,
have followed the instincts Of manhood, q
the dictates Of reason. and afterwards fount
themselves in hostile array against the fal

Let our Legislature at once take its par
