1t was during the war that Dom Piatt,
the Chief Of General Schenck's staff, with
the rank of Colonel sauntcred into the
Philadelphia depot, where sat an imperious
lady disguised at the non-appearance of
the porter. Here, sir, take my trunk up
stairs and get it checked" exclaimed she
as Dom appeared. As he hesitated, she
calculated mo words, sir; take it up"
Deliberately stooping-for DOM Piatt
wouldn't hurry for an archangel-he slow
ly put the trunk on his broad shoulders and
carried it up stairs, checked it, and return
ing to the lady, extended his hand with
the words: ''One dollar, ma'am,n In vain
she stormed 81 never did it for less,
ma'am. Alters charge a dollar here" As
she flung him the greenback, Dom bowed
with the grace of Grand Seigneur, and,
sauntered ont of the door, gave the bill
to the first little gamin he encountered.

We know not how many yesterdays have

his "small caps" never run short. if he gets
out OF ''sorts," however. we advise him TO
go for the "fgllest case" be can find.

State litigation.

We present below I'LL extract from Il
recent communication of Attorney
General Melton to the General As.
Sembly, requesting increased appropri.
ations for the purposes of State Liti-
cation.
IN my report the necessity is pre-
sented for constant superintendcnce
Of the prosecutions in criminal courts.
I propose, either personally or by re-
tanned counsel specially instructed, to
visit each county in the State during
the current year, and endeavor to pro-
mote the uniform aud energetic exc
cution o. the laws. This will require
considerable expenditure, but the
committee will agrcc with me that it
will be money well expended.
':During the current year at least
three cases in which the State is in
terestcd will b. called for argument
in the Supreme Court of the United
States. To employ efficient counsel,
familiar with the practice in that
court will require not less than ten
Thousand dollars. - 3
"It my duty be properly performed:
I shall be called GU to appear in the
courts in several places at the same
time during the current year. In ev-
cry such place except one the inter
eSt< Of the State must be neglected
unless the General Assembly afford
me the means Of procuring counsel to
aid me.
Take single instance. 1t is i'm
practicable for ME to conduct; in per-
son, cases in the courts OF New \ ork.
The repolt of the sinking fund COM
mission shows about $4,000 of that
fund unaccounted for by the financial
agent of the State, in New York
This should be sued for and recovered
But S80,000 are involved, and, at
the outset, oar counsel would demand
retainer Of at least $4,000, viii
the Stxte, for the pititul sum required
to commence litigation, permit this
large sum to be lost:
"Does the General Assembly mean
that the 100000 or S+OO,00O now
in the haads Of county treasurers
shall not be recovered; that no at
tempt shall he made to recover these
enormous deialcations because the
comparatively small expenditures Of
litigation ere requisite? Would sl0,,
900 or 5000 or 5000 be thrown
away in such IN effort: Is not this
'pcnny wise aud pound foolish?' And
how does such pcuny-wisclom look in
contrast with other expenditures al
ready authorized by the General Az

Refer, for Il moment, to the land

publican party withstand such elar
ing disregard Of the rights and inter
ests of the people!

whom two are the appointees of the.
Governor. The consequence is, that
the defeat Of an obnoxious itigant
may be made certain by the SELECTION
of the jury. Grif no special object
be contemplated by these officials, the
choice is frequently made, simply for
the small pay, ofmea- Who are unable
to. either read or write. To either
case, the ends Of justice are defeated.
In the Executive Department, all
these evils culminste. 1t is openly
asserted .ud believed that Offices are
the subject of barter; and the man.
ner in which such Offices are admins
tered proves that qualification has lit
tie influence in the appointments. In
matters under the control Of single
individual, it is difficult to prove cor
ruptiou; but there is one state Of
facts that always stands for proof. A
large expenditure of money by an Of
fetal, who is without any estate and
receives but moderate salary, estab-
fishes beyond c doubt that the money
must come from some irregular source.
On this principle. the TWO Governors
elected under the present Constitution
stand condemned in public opinion.
To detect and punish these crimes Is
impossible; the Governor controls the
avenues of justice. Indeed, the en-
tire system is one of self-sustalning
and self-protecting corruption.
In most of the States, there might
be some chance Of redress through the
bsllot-box. But here, again, the
State Government iuterposes an iu-
supersblc barrier. The elections are
conducted by persons appointed in
the interest Of the officials, aud the re-
turns are under the absolute eontro!
If the parties in power. Under such
circumstances, voting is form and
elections mockery.
sufering under such grievances
! and despsiring Of relief from this
government, your memorislists come
respectfully to your honorable body
for redress. The government which
thus oppresses US wus virtually estab-
lished by Congress and while We be.
lieve they did not foresee the evils to
which it has given rise, we cannot
doubt that they will assist in remov.
iug them, SO soon as they are salts
fed of their existence. All that We
asserted is capsble of proof; but know
ing as we do that the evils Of which
We complain are certain in their exist
erce, and are more likely to increase
than diminish, your uemorlalist'
most earnestly ass your aid in pro i'd
ing the proper remedy. =

The incompetcncy OF many Of these

reason why their claim> should not be

appointed to their work by the proper

good faith, and every consideration Of
justice and right demands that they
should receive their $canty and hard
