in the West, urging the necessity OF a
radical revision Of the executive de-
partments, and especially Of the Treas
ury, whose business, as affirmed, had
Ioutgrown in variety and magnitude the
programme upon which 1t was originally
organized. This letter, through some in-
comprehensive editorial oversight or
other, actually found its way into the
columns of the journal to which it was
addressed, from which portions OF it
we're copied pretty extensively. In
seeming response TO this there was quite
little stir in Congress about reorgan-
ization Of the Treasury Department.
Committees appointed for the purpose
pervaded the Treasury building, chatted
half an hour with the Secretary, glanced
into the cash-room, dropped in for few
moments on Father Spinner, looked over
the shoulders of the ladies who were
busted counting paper money, passed
The time Of day with the colored porter,
and went away full Of information. The
result was bill for the reorganization
OF the Treasury Department, which pro.
vides that after January l, 1876, appoint
ments shall be equally distributed, &C
cOrding to population, among the States,
Territories and the District of Columbia.
And this is fair specimen Of the Con-
gressional style of reform. SIRIUS.

The Benefit of Slavery Abolition.
[From the Courier-JournaI.l

Geo. W. Adair, OF Atlanta, says: "Be-
fore the war kept four negroes on my
lot-Wash., aman-of-ail-work, valued at
$1,000; sarah, o No. 1 cook, $l,400; Har-
riet, house girl, $1,000; and Nancy, a
nurse, 5000. The legal interest (seven
per cent. on the value of these slaves
was $3.50 per annum, and had to feed !,
clothe, pay doctors' bills, etc., Now.
have the same service performed at 5000
per annum. i feed these hired servants,
but furnish no clothing, nor pay Doctors
bills, and get the same service per month
tor less money than when / owned
slaves, anu If they die lose nothing.
Now, when l acquire my cap
ital can put it In no other proper
ty, instead of locking 1t UP in slaves.
This, think, illustrates the whole ques-
tion. The land owner can avail himself
of negro labor to-day at less cost than
when he had to pay for tie slave and
take care OF him. This labor can not be
controlled so absolutely as slave labor,
and more or less irregularities grow out
OF it; still it is available, and susceptible
OF being used to great profit by the land
owner. Planters who owned slaves
who now remain upon their land and
give personal attention to the crops, can
make more clear money from the sol
than under the old system, The South
is becoming every year, more familiar
with free labor, and understands better
how to manage it. She is becoming more
self-reliant aud self-sustaining"

Civilization In New Maxico.

| Correspondence of the Illinois State Journal
The valleys OF the Rio Grande produce
| the finest onions in the world. A wei
attended crop will often average pound
| to the onion. There are also q great
many plants which grow in New Mexico
| which are great curiosities and are also
very useful. Among the useful plants
which grows in this Territory might be
mentioned the soap weed, the roots OF
which are used as soap. The Mexicans
prefer it to soap for washing woolen
goods. 1t extracts all dirt and grease
and restores the lustre Of the goods.
New Mexico is country almost un-
known to the people east OF the Missis-
sippi, although it has been a portion of
the national DOMAIN for more than twen-
ty-tive years. Yet the deepest ignor-
ance still exists as to its inhabitants,
customs, and even to its situa tion and
extent. Now, after losing Arizona and
being robbed OF some thousands OF
square miles by Colorado, it has nearly
as great an extent OF territory as the
three great States OF New YORK, PENN
sylvania and Ohio. -..
All that New Mexico needs to become
rich and powerful is the construction OF
railroads. New Mexico is difficult OF
access at the present time. Persons
visiting Santa Fe, the cen.er of CON-
mercial trade OF this Territory, are CON-
PEELED to ride 300 miles in a stage coach.
But this is no great undertaking. Tue
coaches are roomy, and one can make
himself very comfortable. The roads
generally are excellent. Teams are good
and the messengers kind. nave ridden
over this stage line great many times
and have never suffered like one with
delirium tremens.

mines have recently been discovered

and surrounding country OF Marseilles,
France. In the foreground, one is
charmed by the blue water and the
stately ships at anchor; further back the
harbur and ancient sLle, rising grandly
in its magnificent whiteness against the
green foliage enveloping the base of the
mountains which form the back ground
and lift their hoary heads into blue
sky, faxed with fl1ecy clouds. Napole-
on's coat OF arms surmounts the picture,
and Latin motto, wrought in gold on
blue riDbon-like ground, hes hall ulrolled
III the base.

or detail with greater skill. 1t actually
