\ NARRATIVE comes to us from
Siberia, via Massachusetts, detailing the
discovery of the remains of some of
Chipp's party, the discoverer being an
American who was wandering around
in search of Il brother-in-law who had
been eXiled. The story did not probably
impose upon many persons d belief in its
truth, since it was ciumsily concocted
and full of improbabilities. The first
one, that was quite sufficient of itself to
discredit it, was that the letter had been
in the possession of the Massachusetts,
man for several months, but had not
been given to the newspapers because
the men discovered were thought to be
the crew of some lost Whalers and were
not recognized as of Chipp's party. But
even though the men were only whalers,
the account of their discovery would
have been quite sufficiently interesting
to prompt the publication Of the news,
got up as it was in the adorned style of
this story. Some one in Washington who
is acquainted with Siberia disSects the
Massachusetts, tale and shows its many
falsitieS for instance, that 30 Russian
penal settlement, where an eXiled
brOther-in-law could lie ooked for, exists
within hundreds of miles of where tie
American Traveller located Himself and
his discovery.

IN nearly every town in the state there
is sIuabble over notary public, in some
places where the Office is worth at most
5000 Or $500, there being dozen candi-
dates, more or less. Gov. Hoyt says that
when he came to Harrisburg he resolved
to earn his salary appointing notaries,
and That the receipts to the slate from
the commissions of notaries appointed by
him seldom fell below $4,000 and often
exceeded that amount that he never
refused to appoint an applicant whose
good character and qualifications were
vouched for. Ii Gov. Pattison wants to
escape the responsibility Of deciding be.
tween candidates of equal merit and to
avoid the heartburnings among those
who "get left,' he can consistently
follow in the footsteps which his pre-
decessOr claims to have made appoint
them all and swell the revenues of the
state.

MONDAY EVENING, JAN. g, 1853.
MalSh lndictS Bliss.

III. Walsh appears before the public
l., a letter to the president, which re-
N ms uuacknowledgcd by him, as does
Il letter of like import addressed to the
attorney general. Mr.. Walsh complains
t. the president of this impoliteness ol
Mr.. Brewster and one of the most r.
fres!ling sentences we haye lately read Is
that in which the opinion is expressed
that this violation of etiquette Is the
more surprising occurring as it does lii al
office whose etiquette like its embellish-
mrnts is supposed to lartake of the re
nassance period"
With this hard hit, however, the as
sauit on our elegant attorney general
ends, the heavy charge of the accustf
being against MI Bliss, the friend OF the
president, who was imported from Ne"
York apparently to do the heavy flrlng
upon the guilty Star Route people, BIZ
really to direct the slaughter 50 lis t.
save all that were savable from the
burning. 1t will be recollectel that upon
the trial of Brady, Dorsey and the otte
Mr.. Bliss had nothing TO say against
dorsey, and left him to be niauled by
Mr.. Merrick and the attorney general
1t seems frciu Mr.. Waisll's ac
count of his testimony before Tx
grand jury, that Senator kellog*
WAS another lamb that Mr.. Bliss Va:
s,du!ous to save, and that he did sue
ceed in preserving him from indictment
although the testimonyof Walsh agalnS
him was direct and positive. Walsi
sNore that one Of the contractor pale
Kellogg and Brady twenty thousand dol!
lars for the eXpediting of his route, one
half to each, and that the money Wci.l
through his hands as banker, he being a
the time in that business. The only
reply made TO this accusation by kel
Iocc's friends is that Walsh is unworthy
of belief; but, as Walsh points out, his
testimony has been accepted against
Brady and the contractor, and why is il
not AS good against Kellogg : Besides
he Saws tina. if lie has sworn falsely be i:
indictahle and he should lie held ac
countable before the law by these whC
say he is Il libeler. But they do no
touch Linn and he appeals to tie
president to see that justice be done t
himself and to those who accuse hin
and whom lie accuses.
He is entitled to it. Mi. BreWste
should have answered his letter. Posi-
bly, he could not have done it withou
owning that he. too, distrusted COlore
Bliss, and tina. would have been embar
RAISING, to be sure. The pr 81
dent. also, should have answered
Walsh, even though he would hay
had to admit thai Bliss was acting at III
inspiration. That, too, would have beel
embarrassing, but really if Mr.. -Arthu
wants Kellogg and some of the rogue
to go unwhipped of justice, he might 4
well say so openly: for We will find ou
all about it anyway. Tllc;c are bad day
for concealing things.

NEWS FROM HARRISBURG.

Sreculations About Speaker Fsunca's Com
mittees.
Harrisburg Dispatch TO Times.
1t is stated on the very best Of authority
that the leading chairmauships have been
provided for. The committee on corpora
tions will 60 to Major Walker, of Erie
ways and means to Zeigler, of Butler
judiciary general to MacDowell Sharpe, OF
Franklin judiciary local to Amerman, of
LackawaEna; appropriations to HassOn, of
Venango municipal corporations to
Furth, of Philadelphia city passenger
railways to Jamison, of Bucks, ard rail
roads to Crawford, of Philadelphia.
l am inclined to think that some of
these will get pretty severe raking over.
Crawlord's appointment it is very certain
will excite comment which neither Faunce
nor Crawford will enjoy. Zeigler will
also have to take more OF less adverse
criticism. Jamisou, who will go at the
head Of the committee On city passenger
railways, has been in the House good
while and has plenty of experience. 1t will
depend upon the rest of the committee,
however, whether tie passenger railways
are dealt with from the side OF the public
or the side of the railways. Furth was
about tho best that Faunce could do for
the head Of the municipal corporations,
being determined to have q aPhiladelplian.
Furth has an experience Of one term in tue
House. no was always Oil the right side
Ofcity questions. Furth's heart is right.
if he only has the head to carry his re.
spOnsibilities. No better appointments
could be made than those for the CON-
mittee on corporations, Judiciary general
and appropriations.
Cutting Down The Sinecurcs
Dispatch to Press.
The committee Of the Democratic House
caucus, to whom was referred the matter
of cutting down the number of tho House
employees, bavo agreed upon a report
which will be presented to tho caucus
next Wednesday morning. The committee
will recommend the Topping eff of the fol-
lowing useless offices: Two assistant ser
geauts at arms, $500: one assistant door,
keeper, 5000; two assistant messengers,
5000 each &; five pastors and folders, 5000
each and six pages 500 each. This
makes a reduction OF 1G employees and Il
saving of 81, 600. There are left 80 posi-
tiOns, not including the speakers clerk
and the st0rekeepers, for neither OF which
is authorized by law, nor are their sal
aries of $500 and 81 ,0O0 each authorized.
Last session uuhn bulldozed the House
into paying one of his henohmen, named
Taylor, $1,000 as storekeepor, when a
young Harlisburger performed all the
work for a small sum per day.
A had Beginning.
Dispatch to the PhiIa. Inquirer.
Speaker Faunce is understood to have
appointed 4 clerk to attend to his official
business. 1t has been customary for
speakers to appoint such an officer, but
there is no authority of law for the action.

The Harrisburg SinecufeS.

When the Democratic House caucus
adjourned at Harrisburg last week to
meet on Wednesday morning tEele was
pending proposition TO delay the filing
of certain offices prescribed by law fri
thirty days, 50 that III the meantime 4
bill might lie passed abolisLiDg them.
These were two assistant SergeaNtS at
arms, two assistant doorkeepers. two
messengers. an assistant post master, five
pastors and folders, janitor Of the base
ment and ianit"r o" the wash room.
Pending the discussion Of the necessity
for an assistant postmaster the caucus
adjourned for week, and since then
attention has likely been called to the
fact that the appointment Of ianitors is
matter Of patronage for the speaker
and not for the House. For these or
some other reasons, it is reported from
Harrisburg, that the proposition now Is
to dispense with five pages, five pastors
and folders, and the superiluous door
keepers, sergeantS-at arms and messen
gers. As most of the members con-
siderinG this matter have been at
probably been agreed upon, though
the exact details of it are not SO import
ant to the party and the public as that
the Democratic House shall give some
earnest of its reform purposes by sacri-
ficing part Of the patronage attaching
to it. So far as the speaker and chief
clerk have control of this we have ne
doubt, from their private and public
pledges, that they will cooperate in this
matter. Mr.. Meek has already discovered
leakage where there can be saving and we
feel satisfied that he will dispense with
unnecessary employees and save money
wherever he can in the disbursement Of
the contingent fund. We are net will
ing to believe that Speaker Faunce has
already filled the superfluouS and unau-
thorized Office of speakers clerk and if
he will examine into the matter he will
discover that the work of the two jani-
tors of the basement can he done by one,
and that all the duties Of the iaiitOrs of
the House committee rooms are now
performed by scrub women. The assist
ant postmaster can easily be dispensed
with. The duties OF the chief place are
very light, and not greater than those Of
an ordinary $3.50 government postofice.
The Senate manages TO get along with
one postmaster and so can the House.
But what particular offices shall be
dispensed with is not the chief consider
alton. That will be proper subject for
deliberate action and for bill that must
l'eput upon passage promptly. The public
are satisfied that the Democracy can now
postpone the filling Of dozen at least
without damage 10 the public service,
and that thelaw to be passed can cut off
at least thirty in the two Houses. For
the present the demand is that the Dem
Ocratic members of the House shall give
proof OF sincerity in the cause Of reform
by sacrificing what is theirs to fill.
