State. The people have a ~singularly made

several years past it has been filled by law

collision with certain minor officials
throughout the State, they were enabled
to enrich themselves at public expense.
The management of the office, under a per-
nicious custom that has constantly been
growing from bad to worse, is so reckless
ly extravaganza, If not indeed corrupt, thai
it is nothing short of scandalous and out
rageous. The Journal is to be congratu-
lated in directing attention to the abuses
that exist in the ANNOUNCEMENTS Office,

evils ought to be heartily seconded by ev-

Senators cannot understand it without a

tempted to disentangle matters by having

following explanatory diagram on the title

heavy brackets.
