THE OGDEN POSTMASTER.
BY SEE CUE.

The action of the President in re-
moving the Mormon postmaster at
Ogden has called forth many bitter
editorials from the Mormon press.
They argue that Mr.. Hall WAS an eff
cient and oblising official, and set up
their hacknyed howl of religious
persecution. Be that as it may; Mr.
Hall nor any other man can expect to
have life lease to lucrative govern
ment Office. He is not a polygamist,
they say; but he is Mormon, and as
such, pays his tithing of one tenth of
bis earnings to the Church. This
money is used to sustain the leaders in
their polygamous practices; to send
missionaries abroad; and to Illustrate
the Government in the execution of
the law.
There are three salaried postofices
il Utah, viz. Salt Lake, Ogden and
Corinne. The one in question pays,
we are told. about twenty-thres hun
dred dollars year. 1t is but reason
abe to say, that these positions should
be given to friends of the Government,
if not to the administration. The al :
pointment of nonresident is also al
act of questionable propriety. There
are scores of men at Ogden who have
suffered many inconvenience, and
have virtually lost their rights as
citizens on account of their residing
there. These men are as capable, and
more eligible than the man whose APP
pointment was urged by the Iowa and
Nebraska delegations.

EASTERN DISPATCHES
ESPECIAL TO THE SILVER SEATED
New YORK, November 4.

A special from Pittsburg slys bur-
glars entered the First National Bank
Saturday night, and got nothing but
a small amount of currency. The ex-
plosion of the second safe aroused
neighbors, when the burglars fled.
The bank officers say their loss does
not exceed fifty dollars. Should the
keyes have opened the second safe, they
would have secured half million dol
lars.
For the past ten days a Court of
Inquiry, consisting of Commanders
Mead and Whited, and Paymaster
Hartford. have been in secret session
at Brookly Navy Yard, investigating
charges of false muster and general
fraud aud swindling in Civil Surveyor

that us far back as 1872, workmen re-
ceived two dollars per day, which was
credited on the pay roll as three dollars.
The books are decidedly mixed up,
and an accountant has been called in.
Enough has been discovered, it is
said, to show that the United States
Treasury has suffered severely from
Interpretations under Stratton S adj
sministration.
The Superintendent of the Direct
United States Cable, says the cable was
successfully repaired this morning;

found in seventy fathoms of water, was
such as would be caused either by an
anchor or grapnel.

signs of the fiery ordeal through which
the Chronicle Office passed. The

outright in some places. The Chronicle
has made its appearance daily since the
FIRE. lively and saucy as if nothing
serious had befallen it.

Philadelphia Letter.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10th, 1876.
EDITOR RECORD :--Philadelphia can be
likened unto vast truck farm. 1t is plan
tation extravagantly operatedi it is hand
somely adorned, and is sown profusely in
beets, rank weeds, cabbage heads and other
vegetables, and wild oats ad libitum. The
masses are the toilers in this beautiful, bur-
densome patch. The streets are the burrows,
and the business houses are the products.
Councils are the landscape gardeners. The
average young man-represents the oats.
The beets are found at every turn, and
several of our societies represent the cab
bage and pumpkin heads, while certain
neighborhoods are the acres sown in the
rare vegetables which, perhaps, are orna-
mental. The newspapers are the scare
crows and bull dogs which guard the
grounds and brighten off the birds of prey,
Notwithstanding the extravaganza Of the
gardeners and the over crops of beetss fancy
vegetables and wild oats, the "weeds a.
bound SO profusely, and spring up in such vast
numbers, that the toilers forget the others in
their endeavors to exterminate these impedi
ments to the full and ripe development oi
the useful vegetable. Notwithstanding thu
same conditions surround them both, the
rankness springs up like jack-in-the-b box
