WATCH DOG OF THE TREASURY
from the Boston Journal

This appellation, first borne in con-
gress by Nathaniel Macon, of North
Carolina, and next by Elisha Whittle-
sey. of Ohio, now fairly belongs to
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri. Dur
ing the morning hour he sits at his
desk, engaged on his voluminous cor
respondence and apparently taking
no interest in what is going on. But
let bill or resolution come before
the senate in which political prin.
cipie or an expenditure of money 10
Involved, and he is all attention at
once. Not a bill can be introduced
having any job in it, no matter how
adroilly concealed, that he does not
detect 1t, and, when it comes up, op-
pose it without mercy. There was
an example of his watchfulness when
bill came mp i'll the senate appro-
priatllg $4,000 for sinking five arte-
sian wells in what is known as the
arid region. Without disputing the
arguments advanced in favor of sink.
ing these artesian wells, which will,
it is claimed, render millions of acres
of nnproductivc lands fit for agricul-
lural purposes, Mr.. Cockrell simply
remarked that it would be best to
amend the bill by reducing' the
amount appropriated to $40, 900,
which will provide for two wells.
and fairly test the experiment. The
amendment was adopted, aud $50, 900
was thus saved. A few more con.
gressmen like Senator Cockrell OH
both sides of the senate and of the
house would greatly reduce the pub
lie expenditures and aid in the more
speedy transaction Of the public bu-
sineSs,

1851, he resolved on building steam
ships of iron, fitted with propellers.
The Canada was the first, and she
made her first trip in 1S43. In the
following summer he received the
Canadian mail contract, which has
been retained up to the present:
From that time the firm continued
building iron steamers, until at pres
ent there are in the Allan fleet %
first-class steamers, 100000 tons bur-
den, and II iron clipper ships, 72O, 900
tons burden. For ten years past the
firm has been its own insurers, aud it
has derived great profit from being
SO.
Such is Sir Hugh's story Of his &C
tive and exceedingly prosperous
career. By mis- perseverance and his
high business talent. combined with
close attention to his duties, he has
risen TO be the foremost mercantile
man in Canada. From a dry goods
clerk, with a capital Of $500, he has
become merchant prince, with &C.
cumulated wealth repu;ed to amount
to $l0,OO0,00O or $l5,0OO,OOO. AL
though 10 wears of age, Sir Hugh is
AS interchangeable in attending to busi-
ness as he ever was. Not a day passes
that he is not found in his Office from
10 o'clock in the morning until late
hour in the afternoon. Besides his
shipping interests, Sir Hugh is con-
nected with almost every manufac-
turing and industrial enterprise in
the province. He is president of the
Montreal Telegraph Co., Richelieu
aud Ontario Navigation Co., Hudson
Cotton Co., Adams tobacco factory,
Williams Sewing Machine Co., Mon-
treal Elevator Co., and Citizens In
surance Co. he is also director OF
the Merchants bank. Sir Hugh has
frequently been solicited to come for
ward for public life, but he has re-
| fused. In his half century of mer-
camille pursuits 'of gigantic propor-
| tions he has never had to ask for All
extension, offer a compromise, or
suspend payment.

it, there are those among us who re-
