NOT ENOUGH IN It.
Why Mr.. Tucker Refused an Appointment
as Railroad Commissioner.

NEW YORK, November 6.-The follow
ing letter to the President has been pub
lished:
NEW YORK, November 6, 1856.
To Grorcr Greidnd, President Of tie United
States:
SIR-The newspapers state that you
have designated me as y Commissioner to
examine and report upon one hundred
miles of railroad constructed by the Oregon
& California Railroad Company" in
Southwestern Oregon. No such appoint
ment has reached me, but as the public
announcement of it was made at the
White House by your Private
Secretary to the newspaper reporters, l
assume it to have been made or deter
mined upon. by such inquiry rs | have
been able to make, learn that this Com
missonership is provided for in one Of
those laws by which corrupt Congresses
have in late years given away to railroad
capitalists vast tracts of lands belonging to
the American people, subject to favorable
reports when made to the President by
Commissioners named by him to examine
the completed roads. My training and
4 vacations have not especially fitted
me for such examinations and it is
doubtful whether my employment in them
would he beneficial or satisfactory to the
public. But have a further reason for
declining the Office. An examination of
this kind am told is treated as sort of
entertainment given to the commissioners
by the officials of the road subject to the
examination. Free rides in palace cars,
free quarters at hotels and n hospitality
which is at the same time generous and sell
fish, are commonly extended. 4 favorable
report, however, Just lies under the impu-
tation of having been purchased. On the
other hand, the Commissioner who would
refuse all favors, cannot more than earn
the expenses of ordinary travel. ! am
poor man depending upon my work for
my income and cannot afford to take this
appointment. In accepting my declina-
tion, please also accept my respectful ac-
acknowledgements Signed,
GIDEON J. TUCKER.

Francis JOseph'S Speech to the Austrian and

BUDA-PESTH, November G.-Emperor
Francis Joseph received the Austrian and

of the castle. In his speech he said: ut
is regretable that the complications in Bull
garia, which originated in 1885 from the
overthrow of the Government of Phil
ippopOlis, should again cause serious APP
prehenSiOns. The Powers by united
efforts had succeeded in lOcalizng
the movement and paving the way
to n re-establishment of legal state
of affairs, but recent events in Sofia
have produced fresh and dangerous cri-
sis, the development ofwhich. and, trust,
its pacific solution, occupy at the present
moment the full attention of my Govern
ment, whose efforts are directed to attain
in the final settlement of the Bulgarian
question, which must he effected in cooper
alton with the other powers, an agree
ment that there shall be created IN autOn-
Omous principally and 4 legal state OF
things, which, while taking into account
the admissionable wishes of the Bulgarias,
shall equally conform with existing
treaties as well as with the interests OF
Europe
