The following facts OF the ease we
copy from lengthy article in the Bur
liugton .Scntind of the pad -
1T appears that upon Mr.. Smalley' 5
resignation rs Deputy Collector of
Customs at Burlington, in July 1860,
he found himself without employment
and at once applied to +, A. Chaplin,
then Superintendent Of the Rutland
and Burlington railroad, and to J. &.
smith, one Of the managers Of the
Vermont Central Railroad. for en-
plovmem ON one or both of their
roads. and received the appointment
Of travelling agent for what was then
called the North and South through
. line, being the line from Montreal TO
| New York via Rutland at a salary of
$1,000 per annum, including expenses
This position he held until April lst,
1863, when he resigned, and its du
ties were faithfully performed and to
the entire satisfaction Of both roads.
Part Of this time, Mr.. Smalley was
clerk OF the /. 5. CoHrt, but there was
no improperly in his holding both po-
sitions. as the clerkshlp was not
worth $500 per annum.
In regard to the retainer of 500, it
is well known that Mr.. Smallcy is a
practicing lawyer, and accepted the
retainer from the receivers of the Yer
mont Central railroad company just as
he could have taken one from their
opponents.
As to the payment OF $4,000 to
Judge Smalley, this was made for
services rendered in the settlement of
long and expensive litigation be-
tween the Vermont Central and the
! Vermont and Canada railroads Oh the
one Part, and the Rutland and Bur-
lineton on the other, prior to 1857,
when the Judge went on the bench,
the Judge having been the represen.
tativc Of the Rutland and Burlington
railroad. 1t was paid hy the Yer
mont and Canada railroad company,
and not by the trust and the resolu
ton authorizing such payment was
spread at length on thorecords of that
corporation"

1t is probably to Mr.. Grant rath.
er than Mr.. Pierrepoint that Mr.. &.
w. Hazelton. of Wisconsin, owes his
appointment to the District-Attorney-
ship for the Eastern District of Wis
consin. Mr.. Hazleton did Mr.. Grants
work last session as regarded the Force
bill and the case Of Delegate Cannon
with much zeal though with little ahil-
ity, and having failed Of securing a
denomination from those who knew
him best, naturally commended him
self to the Presidents charity. This
scandalous appointment suggests that
the Administration should appropriate
annually say million or two Of dol
lars for pensions to poor and undeserv-
ing relatives and servants, insteGd of
foisting them upon the public service.
1t will not cost any more it will be
infinitely more honest, and there will
be much less corruption and inefi-
cheney in official life.

ABSENCE FROM OFFICIAL Duty
a late special despatch from the Ma
tional Capital says -
There is rot d single Cabinet officer
in the city to day. and there is no
prospect that more than two, or at
most three, will be at their desks dur
ing the next four or five weeks. Sec
rotary Belknap has not been in the
city for months. No one knows
when Delano will return, and nobody
would care, were it not for the reason
that he has left orders that no import
ant business shall be transacted during
his absence. Assistant Secretary
Cowan is here, but his duties are lin
tied to defending the Indian Ring in
the religious papers. Nearly all the
bureau officers have followed the ex-
ample of their chiefs, and it is abso-
lutely impossible to transact any i'm
portant business with the Depart

7PtfcT from Saratoga.

SARATOGA, NEW YORK, }
MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23d, 1861
Between the hours of s A. NJ. and p.
NJ. sixteen trains Of passenger cars arrive at
Saratoga. And between the hours of A.
M. and $50 p. NJ. sixteen trains of pass
enger cars leaoe Saratoga. Some of them
arriving from, and departing for, four
widely distant parts. namely: Montreal,
Boston, New York, and the West. On the
arrival of each train, from dozen to 25 and
80 hacks and Omnibusses get into line in
front of the depot to take the passengers to
the different hotels. and more or less of
them are on hand also at the departure of
each train. Add to the above, the baggage
express wagons that carry the trunks and
other baggage to and from the depot, and
the common travel also, and for IA large
portion of the day and evening, the roll and
thunder of wheels through the streets is
almost continuous.
Sometimes when going by the United
States Hotel, after the breakfast there, or
dinner, or supper is over, and the servants
are ''doing up the Dishes" | feel like eX-
pressing myself in this manner:
This catter of dishes,
This din, and this rattle,
Like the clashing of swords.
In a cavalry battle;
How it rings down the street,
And over the way,
Week in and week out,
At least three times day.
Profanity is in vogue here and INDUCED
in to such an extent, that an individual who
did not know the difference between right
and wrong words, and between harsh and
soft terms, would almost think it was a
very fine thing. Whilst tobacco is used on
all sides, and by all classes, in such quanti-
ties, as to give the impression that it is
really conducive to health, comfort, and
long life. And men will come rushing into
the liquor shops in great hurry, and down
with their glass of gin, or whiskey, or
brandy, just as if the road of intemperance
was perfectly safe road to travel. Just as
if that same road, from the present time,
back through all the ages, was not thickly
strown with the bones of millions on mil
lions of their fellow men, who hove fallen,
ignObly fallen in the march of life, through
the love of strong drink. But one may just
as well sit down and laugh, as to cry over
the Incorporate courses of his fellow men.
For only He who rocks the ocean into foam
with his mighty tempests, and then makes it
calm again, can turn the rushing tides of
human folly or stay them in their course
