OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
No Quarter for Mr.. Riordan.

FEosTBUEa, Nd, Nov. "a, 1879.
Ar. EdSt;r Having received the
Nine I2snectors report, go long look
ed for, 1 have carefully examined it,
and will at once ask if Mr.. Riordan
has lived up to the oath which the
frat clause of the 4th section of the.
Ventilation Law calls for? UndouEt-
eddy he has thought of the last
clause of the same section which pro-
vides for paying him fifteen hundred
dollars per annum.
But in looking over his report
(Which is of little or no Importance
at sll,) I see he gives the amount
Of air which enters the ditferen! min.e,
a point os no importance to us as
hin rs. But he hag left out the grand
prlnc'ple for which the law calls, and
that is the utilizing, arranging, divit-
ing and circulating 4 sufficient guam
tity of pure air throughout the en-
tire mines where the men are wo.kinp,
and rot only along the main entry
ana allow it to csc re to the return
air shaft on the outlet, whilst the
miners sre almost suffocated for the
want of pure air. He tells us he is con-
WINGED that a man requires sixty.six
cubic feet If air per minute, and be-
ing fully impressed with this respon-
sibility before God and man, he pro-
vided himself with an thermometer tc
measure the air, referring to the ali
that enters the mines, not tho air that
is actually passing through the head
ings and rooms where the men are G.;
work. He also tells of the wonder

or even Almshouss Trustee? "Tax-
payer" will doubtless answer that
Harry will .'fiil the bilI''--on the
score of economy. If not, shis logic
leads tothe .oonclusions That, a man
not good enough for anything else
will make capital public servant, no
matter where placed. 1t would seem,
however, that the appointment CT
low-priced officers, merely because
they are willing to work for less than
anybody else, would be attended with
great peril tcthe vented respects-
bi.ity, dignity and purity Of the civil
service. If these Wee not at stalk
it would be quite proper perhaps to
invite proposals and let all the offices
to the lowest bidder. ts ... 80
In discussions Of mining wages the
JOURNAL has always maintained that
competent, faithful work IN every
sphere Of employment should be we i
paid, and 1t has denounced the sneaks
who depreciate and degrade labor by
undertaking and, then, supplanting
their reighbora. Bssides the perfdy
OF the transaction the capabilities of
the lnan, glad to Obtain place at half
price, may be fairly taken at. his own
valuation. .r. u. ... ..-.-c
Hence, while there should be no
unreasonable extravaganza in the
administration of county affairs, al,
senseless economies should be avoid
ed. The county wants no inferior
public service, but the best there is in
market; and 1t is able and ought to
be willing TO pay enough therefor to
,ommand the entire time and fidelity
of its executive officers.
There are places to strike for re-
trenclment, but it must he done
through the Legislature. There are
huge fees fixed by law for which the
Ccmmiss.o: ers must provide. To re-
duce them Taxpayer" should spen,l
part of his time aud talents in advls-
ing the Legislature of the burdens
under which he groans. The rest of
his devotion to the public welfare
may be expended upon the commits
sioners.
We conclude with this wri S
most important suggestion
None of the new commission ers ever
before held similar office, and telng men
whose intentions to faithf lily serve the
PEOPLE are undeubted, let the people take
advantage of the means our papers offer
to show the board now they can best be
served.
Certainly, for these "q,eav conmis.
sio'ers are evidently up tesote the
people to take adqioe from every
WHIP persnarper who wants to show
uething. The wordsr is that the
people select men that always need
to DO shown things. Why don't they
elect the showmen? However, let

On page 9 lie tells US that the men

he retracts his own words where he

tity of air as requirement, was fix
ed by law in Pennsylvania, where, in
the anthracite region the miners are
filed with fire damp and require
fully sixty-six cutie feet to overcome
or destroy it. Now I wish to tell
Mr.. Riordan that he has need to read
the laws of Pennsylvania more care
fully. In Section 7 Of the Ventila-
ton Law of that State il reads as fol-
lows: ',n 7'.

adequate amount of ventilation, and not

An Italian gentleman with nice little in

him one morning: 20, if you please, won't

capital prize of 510,652,S5 lire,s or to speak

Returning quietly to the house, he con-

A BURIED TREASURE FOUND.

The Pot of Coin that Christopher Meister
Dug Up on Christmas Day
The New York Sun, of this morning, says:
There is considerable excitement among the
residents of Rossyille, Staten Island, over the
good fortune of Christopher Meister, Ger
man market gardner, living on the
Lake farm, on Lake Island, near
the Sound shore. On Christmas day
Mr. Meister and his son, while digging pit in
which to bury turnips in sandy spot near the
shore, struck large stone some three feet
below the surface On removing the stone thew eeS
discovered an old-fashioned iron pot Of
about a peck capacity, filled with
what looked like large copper coins. They re-
removed the pot and is contents to the house
and after cleaning a few of the coins, which
were black with age, they found them to be
back as 1743. The farm occupied by Mr.. Meis-
ter was owned and occupied by the Lake family
were also the owners of the then famous
Blazing Star ferry, which ran from the island
across Staten Island Sound to the New JERSEY
shore, and In those days was much frequented,
It being on the stage route to Philadelphia
During the Revolution the Tories from New
Jersey often came across the Sound to the
island and committed depredations on Staten
Island, and in many instances tortured the
residents to make them tell where their valu-
abs were. John Bodine, who lived near the
Lake farm was placed on hot irons to make
him tell where his money was hidden. 1t is
| thought probable that the treasure found by
Meister was hidden by some of the Lake
family in one of the raids made by the Tories.
Some i've years ago number of gold and sill
yer coins were dug up in the garden of ez-
Sheriff Weynant, at Rossville, and afterward a
box full of Spanish doubloons was dug up on
the farm OF MIR. Grosjean near the old Metho-
dist church, in Rossville. Mr.. Meister in

that there is more buried treasure in the neigh.
