RAIDS ON THE TEEAtUET.
ll was onlv a little while atro thut there
wa. iin indicatiou Congress would ask that
the t.iuDtiiti.in of a surplus of public money
bfl reinovcd. It was suggested tlmt
lhe rovenuos ought to he cut down
iu oi der to relieve the plethora of
tiie TllflflBIJ t*4m*M will be no oecasion
foi ;ii,v flaeh heroic remedy for titmncial sui
f,it. Tlu- House has fihown ;m BBgaf disposi
tiou to make the moat of Itfl opportuni
tit-s iin.l vote away tlic accuniuhiting
public funds. At least, tbfl overwhelniing
fecliiig io favor ol the iinmediatc diseussinn
ol two or three gigaatk Bebeiaefl af Lnteroal
iiiipni.eiii?-iit, which was niaiii.t-.te(l in t_M
Hoaae, y.stenlay, i.s B fair indication of what.
wfl iu.ty axpect There is tha Vlfgliiia
Sbip Canal sehenic ; there i.s the JaBBBfl Kivcr
and Kanawlm Canal projei t ; aud the
plan to connect tha waters of the
TaaaeaBBB BBd Savaunali Kiv.rs by tlic Coosa
K'iv. r Canal. These are flll trcnted as mere
bairatelles with which our new system of in
t.nial iiuproveiuents is to BB beguu. How
uiany liiilliotis are ncciic.l to OtkTtf out the
wholfl grand proiect, we know not yet. A
IriHc of a round t-M-jOOtyOOO is iiskcd to bag_B
with; the dctails of the oth' i laidfl "ill coine
flftaf a while.
Next, is an exleii-ive plan for a Natioiml
lli.ard of Trade, which is to bc compo sed of
all the members of tlic Cabinet bul two. This
-tiiii'liose OtgaalB-ition is to have charge of the
?oiiiiiiereial interc .ts of thfl eountry gei.c.tll.v.
and of the meivliaut- marine in p;irticular. It
is to ascertain the tunnago of the. mcrchaiit
Baai of tlic United Btatefl and to sub?idi_e it
al lhe rate of US per tuu lor stcam vcssels
aml |11 per tun for sailing vcssels.
TUfl is the lirst itcm of the (lutics of"
thfl Hifb Coiiiiiiission ; tha other par?
ticular.. will. doubtless, embrace B patit
nal supervi.-ion of the railroads, canals,
and telegraph UaeB of thfl eountry?when
theaa baaaaai Bartaaa. prapecty. Tha Jab is
evidently (uinulative. When Congress takes
to building ship canal.. from POBBB BB oce;in,
we really cannot say what the aad will be.
1 bi> is all in dc.nl earnest, so far as Con?
greaa has fflMfl witli it. lt is, iu fact, moie
l'nion 1'aciiii- Kailroad building. One Would
suppose that, while the eountry is yet itegtag
with tha BeaaaTalaaB waatfl of tha peayla^i
money '?> the eonstruetion of Ihe
traiiMontiiient.il r.iilway, Coi.press wouhl
ba ? little ditlidciit about eonsiderin^ any
more sii.li .iol.s. Some .;!0,000,000 of fratul
ulent piolits have just Ix-cn divided by
the Cicdit Mobilier shan holders. Where
iire the Coii^ressinen who w;int other
aud Ufga ttafi liceimed by CoOfMH to

all over the United StatesT ls it. jxissiblc that
the iiiictiioiis develo[inieiits of the Union I'acitii
Raflroad Hag kaaa Rct the mouths of other
flbflipiBB to waterinp, ao that they will
not be contcnt untii the tountry is tiav
er^-ed by more lines of bonds and
greenbacks douhle-banked t What with
suliHidics, subveiitions, and other Goveiiiiuent
aid to these rapidly multiplying projects,
we see nothing but new national loaus and
national bankruptcy ahead. It is time to call
a halt. The eountry should not stand more than
one Credit Mobilier frtiud in a getu rati.ui.
Let afl have no eaiiiil-buildiiifs' to sluice otl*

t iv ii. BBBFICE EEFOBM TB TBE CABINET.
When the Pre.-ldciifs new rule.. for the re?
form of the Civil Dflfl Tkfl an- one.. faiiiy in

they c.inii.it bfl e_.teu.leil witli juolit t4) de

je<-ts to M'cute uii eflicient iidministratioii of
puhhe allairs, ihey evrtainly OBfht to apply
to thagreal OJIflflB as well || tho little ones.
When the chief of ll bureau is un ignorainus
there is not niuch to be got by refonuing his
cliiks; and it seeniR preposterous to make all
this pother over [Kistmasters and tide-waiteis
if the Cabinet is to bl full of excclleut. and
zealous gcntlemen who don't know the dutieu
and powers of their oftice,
Ht.y. is Mr. ^lA^jptBBBBp wIki doe;jiot
kuow that one of the most esm-uti.il cpiaiitica
tious of a minisfer of foreign aftaiil is the
ability to hold his tongue. He writes _vo fierce
a dispatch to (.en. Siekles that our astute
diplomatiit at Madrid cannot fotinaHy present
il |o Scnor Martos, and then Mr. Fish aggra
vat.-s his iiidiseretion by BaaaBBg it to be
jiHiited. When the iudignatiou of Ihe Span
iard has bBBB tboroughly aroused, Mr. Fish
feeds the lire by printing private dispatches
from Qaa, Sickh-s ji? his "jtistilication;" and
the only poH?ible result of this chatterliox
Htyle of diplomaey is to bring our relations
with a friendly eountry into a dt.-iidful BBBBBj
and possibly to make nec.-SH.iry the recall of
one af onr ahleit ministers. Under almost
any other President than t. en. (iiant it would
probably involve the retirement af the Secie
Ury of State.
Then look at the Trcasury Department. Mr.
Boutwell haa been for some time in a danger
ou8 Btate of uncertainty about his power to ex
paud the iin nn, y. He has claiined authority
for the accret iasue of forty-four inillioiis of
paaBBaakBj and has iroue so far as to put u
part of this amount in circulatiofl, by an exer
eiae of auch diicrotion aa was never committed
to any Secretary of the Treaaft-y from the be
giuniug af time. What he niijiht have done
if he had not been promptly taken in hand by
the Fiiiiiiicc Couimitfee of Uie Scnute. aud in
atriici-'d in the luws regulating the pnweis of
his own Vttmttt we cannot prediet.
Ml. t'reswell is another (Cabinet BB-BBC who

ho made an opprcsaive. i-egulatioii about fines

esfimates foot up .*l8,2.r-O,0'J0-tliat is to say
(allowing for the duty) just about .K .000,000
more than Mr. Creswcll's stateinent. Mr.
ITe.swell vaa not only unwise lo eall
a wttaaaa whooa riawa dMbred so widdj
from his own, but be inado 8 gn.il
blunder in ealling Mr. Chester at any rale.

kinds of work, an.l would, therefore, but for
wrong idcas upon th? subject, recciyc wages pro
portiotiiitely as high foi their pcetiliiir work
ns men receive for theirs ; 4. What the work
is really worth has nothitig whatever to do
with the way in which the person who fairly
c.iitis the nioney BBMBM to spend it, so that
the BrgBflBBBl that woineii do not have fami

liaseil ea faet, Whleh it ifl not, sinee a great
iirmv woinen do have fatnilie.s to support,
without any BlfliltflTlT fnun husbands; 5.
The prices, afl they now staud, are wrong aml
iinjust, just so far as they are less for wotncti

CITIE8 ABD 8UEUEEE
A iii.asuie now before tiie Massaeliusctts
Setiiite propo.es an enonnoiis ixti-nsion of the
litnits of r.ostoti. That htde-boiind settleineut
has of late y.-ars exhiliited all tho syinptonis
of livpt-rliopliy. Wc havo seen this complaiut
brcak out with great violencc in otlier cities.
Philudclphia was overcoine by it several years
ago, and became intlated in all dircctions.
More re.-ently it scized Ciucinnati, Sl. LouL.,
and Chic.'igo alinost siiniiltaiieoiisly. The last
nained city had it iu the iiu.-t ,-xaggera ted fonn,
iin.l r-welled all over the adjoining prairie to
such an e.xtent that the postiii.-n for that t.-r
ritory had to be mounted on horseback to get
aroiind it, by special or.hr froui Washington.
Sin.e then Chicago has had everything large,
incliiding a tirc. The Ilo.ton etise ifl developed
beyond any doubt of iliugnosis. Dorchester
and Koxbiuy w.-re ibs.ubed BBBB tiine ago:
and thfl Colisetiiu and lhe lire w.-re very
large Bflbira. The preeeat proposition is to
take la about a dosea adchboriaf towae
and B half million, more or lc^<, inhiil.i
latil-. Wt 11 ii -st the process will stop
short af thfl 11.).)..;.<? liinuil. It miglit
be a-vkward to have the City ol
BOBtOB ciicroiiching ou our State line. The
real ditlieultv with this sorl of develo])nient
i.s that tbere is aa kaawiag arhaia to stop ift,
If, iu a thit-kly p.ipul.itetl Btaftfl like ifflflflfl?
chusetts, the sprcad is tt huiidred square miles
one Wintcr, why uot as many or twit e as
many the neit ? In the West tl.e limits seein
to have been only reaehed when tlic tOWB
siiivevois foiind neither buildings nor laiitl
iiiaiks worth jotting down.
On the whole, however, it appears to be a
benetleial expericnce in most casiw. Dropping
our siinili?though tempted to say BBBBBthlBg
about the healthy growth of chlldren after the
iiiuni|is?an may say that iu general a reul
eonsolidatioii gtiuliially suc.-ceds tho nominal
.rn?. A giaFth in, niateiial iateryl Mffii
place in thu anticXeil towus, atul the wealth of
th<- original city siniultaneously iuereases. We
nmy yet be gl.id to take co|ry from Hos
ton iu this matter ? barring, of ioui.e,
eolisiuiin-i anJ hres. When n com
iniinity so excecdingly ronservative takes
the lead. we may be suie that the MMMBIB
liiis iniuli to recoinmeiid it. No eonsideratiou
would have been given to the present propo
Hitioii, if previotis steps of the sort had not
beaa noade, and then coiiAeqiiences carefully
invcstiguted. Boston has found anuex.ition
proliUthle. It ix worth while to ask whether
the same oau.es ,-ire not at work in New
y,,ik ; and whether it is not advisahle to
turn thciu to our adiantage iu a similai man?
ner.
We ni i.v note that the ptincipal opposifion
t.i eonsolidatioii usimlly BBflMM froui fhe otit
lying eonimunities. They objeet to being as
Hociated imlttieally with tho more benighto.l
atul less virtuous elasnert that help so larg.-ly
to swell the vote of the great cities. The highly
respei tablo gentleincn who live in rural villns

But tho economy witb wbieb all rivic
Lmprovements can be introduced after con
solidation, and the moapect of a rapid riso of
their nai cstate, usually convert these /**entle
men. Tho backbone of the oppoaition w
generally found in the petty govcniineiit.. of
the smaller r.ommunities, and among tbose,
who are there seeking political preferiiit-nt.
Th.y fear ? reductlon of the number of civie
otli.es. Their prosTierts of cmploymont in tho
l.irgcr city are suiatl. Consolidalmu will take
tli.- bread out of their inouth*. .Now, it la Hua
very faet lliat should eommend (-on.soliilation
to the re_t of tbe citizeiis. Dispensing with sup
eriniiiierary offlrials is evideut economy. H ?
be alao tO aoied that the business interest.s?if
the leadlag inhabitanfs of the neighbonngrilies
and towus are for tbe most part eentered m
Hoston and New-York. TM PBBfle who elect
the civil ollicers in each of these cities

enlargrment may becoine our BMMt fonuida

IN itia-N if the iioTi-resiil.-tit business men of
New-York would fairly eonsider tli* ir own in
