The office of Special Commissioner of the
Revenue expires by limitation with the close
of the present month, and the queslion comes
up whether the office shall he renewed. No
time is to be lost in answering t'lC question.
The present session of Congress is (Iran i'ig to a
close and the last moments of a session are al
ways crowded at best, while I here is danger
that busiuess postponed lo the last will beiieg
1 cted entirely. The firm, independent and
impartial course of Mr. Wells has made him
many enemies. These are sure to be aclive
aud unless liis friends aie equally so his valu
able iervices may be lost to the country.
The financial necessities of the nation make
the continuance of the office a matter of the
highest importance. For many years to come
we must raise a large revenue and it will make
business enough for one man to study the
method of raising :t to the best advantage. It
requires not only a comprehensive survey of
our national condition in all its aspects, but
a comparison of our condition and methods
of raising revenue with those in use by other
nations. Here is a field broad enough to make
the study of it a speciality in itself. It requires
an acquaintance with the theoietical princi
p'es of economic science and what is much
more rare though equally important, a capa
city for ascertaining facie and combining them
into a shape that shall make them instructive,
and for determining the correct application of
principles to facts. Besides there must be la
borious study and investigation not to confirm
preconceived theories but to learn truth. No
officer whose energies are largely engrossed
with administrative duties as is the case with
the heads of the executive department, can
find time even if he possessed the qualifications
for conducting inauiries extending over so
wide a field and of so complicated a nature·
The work will not be done at all, or at best
will be but half done, unless we have an offieer
who makes it his sole buseness.
It would be difficult to hud a man better
qualified by nature and experience for the
duties of such a position than David A·
Wells. To a calm, judicial and penetrating
intellect he unites laborious and scientific
habits of investigation, and an experience
that bas made him almost completely master
of practical finance. From the first he lias
been assailed and maligned by these who lat
tened upon the disorder of our finances, and
who saw that bis investigations were not con
ducted in their interests. But the sood re
sults following the adoption of one after an
other of bis recommendations has vindicated
the wisdom that suggested them, and put the
assailants to flight. His recommendations to
reduce the tax on distilled spirits to filty cents
a gallon, to repeal tbe tax ou raw cotton and
on crude petroleum, and the cumulative and
onerous tax<-s upon all manufacturing indus
try, and many other reforms, all excited oppo
sition at first. But a trial showed their ex
pediency, as it will probably show the expedi
ency of other changes whien bave been more
violently opposed. The connlry cannot
afford to lose the services of Mr. Wells, at
least till our finances are thoroughly organ
ized and restored. We might as well think of
getting along without Cougress as without
the Commissioner.

Δ terrible accident has just occurcd in Swit

exists on the plateau of Jaman. That place
is celebrated for a delicious trout, which the
inhabitants fis'-i for Irom a species of rait.
Upon one of these about thirty of the compa

" The Fifty Million Dollau Dance,"
" Capering ot Coin," " Graceful Gyrations of
Greenb-cks," are some of the headings used
by tbe San Francisco Chronicle over an elab
orate discription of a splendid entertainment
given at the Continental Hotel on the 7th inst.(
to the Boston Board of Trade excursionists
It says:
9dp "ii,,ie roost recherche balls ever given
in San rrancisco is in lull career, and, though
the numbers are not so great as we have seen
at many other entertainments of the same
kind, yet every detail which goes to make up
periectiou, every contrivance which can in
crease the pleasure and comfort of the guests,
every device which can add to tbe beauty and'
completeness Ot the affair, has been studiously
considered and skilfully supplied. The part
of the building given up to this hospitable car
nival is that originally fitted up in splendid
style for tbe reception ot Col lax and his party,
and afterward added to the hotel. The two
large bridal chambers, and the pa "lor between
them, have been thiown into one, and will ac
commodate etgb» sets of quadrilles. On the
other tide of the corridor is another lar*? room,
which could hold fo-.ir and perhaps six sets.
Adjoining these are the punch room ; the card
room, a snug apartment, provided with elegant
little card-tables; and the two large lower
rooms are devoted to the supper. The table
in tlie latter presents a beautiful appearance.
Silver epergnes and vases support numerous
and splendid hoquets ; the table iscovered with
every delicacy, rare and costly, that the abun
dant markets of San Francisco can afford. The
glass and all the other equipments are of the
finest quality and newest designs, and, lit by
glass chandeliers, garlanded with bright flow
ers, its appearance as a supper-room has not
been surpassed by that of any other we have
seen 011 the same scale. Two dressing-rooms
for ladies, and one lor gentlemen, all hand
somely furnished in black walnut, are as com
plete and convenient as one could imagine or
expect. But upon the hall-rooms and corri
dors ot course the greatest pains have boon ex
pended. The liandscme cut-glass chandeliers
are covered with tastefully arranged garlauds
of natural flowers and festoons depend grace
lully from each chandelier to the other. From
the ceilings and in the halls and in the door
ways hang magnificent baskets of moss em
bedded natural flowers ; so that what with
garlands and festooons and baskets, the air is
laden with sweet odors. Beautifully striking
also in effect and in sound are the canary
birds, who, twenty-one in number, and hung
in beautiful cages, vie with the bands in in
dustry and in sweet sounds, and fill up the
pauses beautifully with their singing Aid twit
tering. The floors, of course, are covered with
snow-white canvass, the walls are frecoed in
beautiful taste, and with this slight descrip
tion our readers may easily " guess" what the
ball to the Boston Board ot Trade looked like
at midnight.
Especial Jenkins was present, in his pro
fessional glory, and the description of female
toilets is bewildering. In the list of guests
are the names of Hon. John B. Brown and

1 suppose your readers are aware of a recent
excursion of teachers from California to the
east. Our excursion party, numbering three
hundred, and consisting of teachers of Califor
nia and their friends, left San Francisco, Sat
urday, May 2Sth, at eight o'clock, A. M. We
had nine cars, the largest train that ever cioss
ed the Sierras and Rocky Mountains.
On the Central Pacific, we had Silver Pal
ace sleeping cars, and on the Union Pacific
railroad a Pullman train. Our excursion was
a complete success, and oce cannot appreciate
the giandeur of a ride across the continent un
til he bas actually made the trip. Tbe mana
gers of the respective roads, over which we
passed, extended all the courtesies possible,
and provided us with the most elegant train ο
cars that ever crossed. We arrived in New
York Saturday, June 4th. The passes are
made out giving us ninety days in which to re
turn. The excursionists return at their own
convenience; most ol tbem within sixty days
The rates of fare were as follows: the teachers
pay $140 in currency to go and return, and
their friend! pay $170. "Tbe teachers are
from almost every county in our Stat*,
and many of thein the pioneer educators ο
California. I cannot speak too highly of the
public schools and school system of California
We employ the best of teachers and pay the
best of wages. As regards myself, I have no
occasion to regret going to California; have
been teaching there for more than three years,
and am most pleasantly located in San Fran
cisco; am teaching, or have'beeu, fur tbejiast
two years in Citj College, San Francisco; my
salary $2,000 per year in gold.
In praise sf California I cannot speak too
highly. Its splendid climate, its magnificent
scenery, and its warm-hearted and hospitable
people, I have seen and never shall forget. Still
it is pleasant to revisit the scenes of my youtl
and revive the associations of olden times.
If our young meu will leave the dear old
State to seek their fortunes elsewhere, they
may do worse than to come to California.
The examination of this institution, just
closed, fully sustains its claim to a rank among
the first-class institutions of the country. It
doue and is doing a good work. In the grand
march of improvement we will endeavor to be
up to the standard of our brethren of tbe
EdSt. If Maine leads the way, California will
not lag far behind.

The Sanctum Sanctobum; or Proof-sheets
from an Editor's Table, by Theodore Tilton,
Editor of the Independent, from the press of
Sheldon & Co., is (or sale by Bailey & Noyesi
and in our opinion, is a "book as is a book."
The men and women of America who cau
afford to buy it and fail to do so are simply to
ba pitied, for they will thereby deprive them
selves of a great pleasure. If the book isn't
a "perfect gem," it is nevertheless a gem, and
there are thousands of people, (especially the
readers of the Independent) who will never be
convinced that Theodore is'nt a "l.rick." De
spite the alleged fact that he "parts his hair in
the middle," and in spite of the unfriendly crit
icisms ot the "men who have come down from
a former generation," and with all his "isms"
and "crotchets" (so called,) tbe editor of the
Independent is one of the boldest, sharpest,
sauciest and most tearless writers in this coun
try. Men jealous of his powers and constantly
iucteasing influence, may impugn his motives,
criticise his style, and deprecate the effect ol
-i»u imiLthgy; will never undertake
to say that he isn't "smanr* uticy never in
sinuate that be was mistaken in his profession,
or tbat lie uocsn t know how to write. Some
of liis rivals appear 'o bate him with pure
hearts fervently, hut they have never charged
biui with being tame, or (lull, or stupid. We
append a portion ol the prelace:
The articles were written with no ambition
for their permanent sepulture in this ostenta
tious tomb. Some of them I had entirely tor
gotten, until, in searching the file, I came up
on them unexpectedly. Others I might have
read a second time, had I not been asked to re
vise them tor tliis volume. Ooly one among
them holds a high place in my affection : 1
mean the opening sketch, which, slight as it
is, and altogether a trifle, nevertheless had the
happy fortune of first making me known as a
writer. Ivivid'y remember how I k'ssed the
page on which I first saw it in print. Neither
the Merchant of Venice, nor the mask of Co
rnus, nor the Vicar of Wakefield ever pleased
me half as much as my first perusal of the
published narrative of "A Visit to Washing
ton Irving." 1 was the last stranger who saw
him alive. Κiπ i old mau! He look my hand
in his, as if be had been my grandfather, and
said at parting, "I hope 50U will win a name
among your countrymeu." Tbe ink was hard
ly dry on the printed sheet, when all tbe city's
flags sank to btlfmast at bis sudden deaili.
Instantly the sketch caueht a dignity not its
own—stole, I may say, a plume from his bearce.
It was simultaneously copied into not less than
five hundred journals, as if it had been a Pres
ident's message—only (I ttusl) not quite so
bad. Tnus it unexpectedly tu filled the good
wishes of its subject, by lifting the uuknown
name of the writer out of the shadow into the
sun. My critics are welcome to ply a birch
switch on all the rest of my bantlings,but I
pray them to be gentle to my first-born. In
my own eyes, the opening leaves of this book
wear even yet their spring-time glory; and for
the sake of these unladed few, I can bear to be
told that tbe others are already summer-wilted,
or even winter-killed. I will add that this
medley of miscellanies would stand inscribed
to my friend, Frederick Douglass, except that
his worth merits a worthier book.
Put Yourself in Bis Place, by Charles Eeade,
the great master ol English fiction, is publish
ed in a variety of stjles by Sheldon & Co., of
New York, and for sale by Bailey & Noyes, on
Exchange street. The author states in a letter
to the public, that the publishers ol the Galaxy
pay him a liberal price for the book, and adds,
"If I were a mechanical inventor, instead of a
literary inventor, this payment would secure
them the solo legal right In the present in
iquitous, partial, barbarous and brainless state
of law, it only secures them a clear moral
moral right." He indulges the hope that all
respectable publishers will respect that '"moral
right;" put themselves in Sheldon & Co.'e
place, and "forbear to reap where they have
not S"wn." It would seem, however, that this
bopo is vain, for here we find upon our table
three styles of the same book published by
Harper & Brothers, and for sale by Loring,
Short & Harmon, ou Middle street. The fact
is, mis Dook is destined^to have an immense
sale. The author is well known in this coun
try, and the demand for his writings has been
steadily increasing for several years. "Griffith
Gaunt," and "Foul Play" established his repu
tation lure, ai;d made it certain that any sub
sequent book would be eagerly sought and
read.
The rivalry between tliese I wo great publish
ing houses tends to increase the demand, since
every edition is put upon the market at an ex
ceedingly low price. The book may also be
found at Loring. Short & Harmou's.
Dante fiossetti's Poems, published by Roberts
Brothers, Boston; for sale by Bailey & Noyes.
If the highest encomiums of the highest lit

To the public in general this volume will an

The New York papers say the excitement in
that market for flonr and wheat on Thursday
was something remarkable. The sales of wheat
considerably exceeded 300,000 bushels. The
French were large buyers, and their presence
in the market led to an active speculation. A
further large advance is not improbable. Great
Britain, as appears by late circulars, is not Ret'
tins any foreign wheat, eacept from tïe United
States. The demand at that market for the
continent has interrupted her supplies, and she
will soon feel the want of them. But the most
important fact is, the falling off of the receipts
at the lake ports which, according to the statis
tics were, for the week ending June 11th,92,000
hush, of wheat, and 26,000 hbls. flour; or, reduc
ing the flour to wheat, eqtal to 309,000 bushe's
wheat, lets than for the corresponding week
lait year. This, in connection with au increas
ed demand, can hardly hi overestimated.
