How 1T is Richmond (hy.) Re9,s'
ter, January o. 1.-The way in which Feae'
raj officeholders rapidly acquire fortunes Is
well. illustrated in the case Of Mr.. Thomas
Williams, National Bank Examiner, who was
in this place a few days since. Mr.. Williams
receives bis appointment from the Govern
5uent and resides In Washington city. be
shas the banks In several States as district,
over which he exercises an examiners
watchful care, and which he visits stated
number of times during the year. His ser
vices are paid for at the rate OF i've dollars
per day and two dollars for every twenty-five
miles he is compelled to travel 10 order to
reach any bank within the scope OF bis
territory. On Friday be closed bis la
bors at Lexington, and the following
day came to Richmond. The distance is
twenty. five miles, and for this he was enti-
tied to two dollars-the regular fare by stage.
His duties here with three national banks
required his actual labor only on Friday and
Saturday, which at FIVE dollars day gave
him ten dollars, and this with bis mileage
would make twelve dollars. But he under
stands the routine Of how not to do 1t, ana
thereby 'turns an honest penny" Instead
Of making out bis charges against the banks
for the amount actually due him, he counts
bis mileage at the rate stated for the whole
distance from Washington city to Richmond
for three separate trips, or one to each bank.
And in place of twelve dollars he receives
for one days work one hundred and fifty
dollars. Truly this is glorious Govern.
meut of ours, and the softest place ON earth
is an Office under Grant. Is it singular, then,
that all the of1ceholders in the land are
sQualling for third term?
