THE RED MAN’S DREAM.
The shades of eve had wrapt in gloom
Each vestige of the sunny day,
And flowers which did, in sweetness bloom,
Stripped of their glowing beauties lay.
Deep solitude now reigned supreme,
No breezes cooled the sultry air;
Bnt Luna shed a welcome beam
And pictured all, in colors fair!
Along Missouri’s verdant banks
A dusky warrior lonely strayed:
His mighty soul with sadness filled
When that proud river he surveyed.
He thought of his bright days of youth,
When, sporting near its silvery tide
In all the bloom of hope and truth,
He stood in all his native pride!
And, of those happy moments, whon
With all the vigor of his race
He tracked the fleet Deer through the glen,
And foremost rode amidst the c/iase.
But as he viewed the scene around,
His anguished bosom heaved asigh,
That this, their happy hunting ground,
Untenanted by them must lie !
Tired of conflicting cares and strife
He sank to rest beside the stream,
Oblivious to the things of life
He dreamed a sweet, enticing dream !
Bright Angel forms did seem to glide
Before his wrapt and ’wildered sight,
And fairy creatures, by his side,
Were dancing with supreme delight!
Missouri’s dark and mighty tide
Before him seemed in joy to flow,
And on its banks, stood side by side
His red-browed friends ot long ago !
Tlfe Great Spirit spoke soft words of cheer
Unto his now enraptured soul
And bade his woes to disappear
And 'round him wavoß of joy to roll.
Onoe more, around the forest fire,
He sung the war song of his race ;
Again, with yells and whoopings dire,
He hailed the trophies of the chase.
Again, he roamed throughout the glade,
With “Metainora” by his side,
To keep the trail, the wild deer made
Or, take the Duffaloe's shaggy hide.
Thus, while within the power of dreams,
He lived, again, his hours of bliss,
His soul was lit by sunny gloams
From Fancy’s sweet, enrapturing kiss!
We’ll leave him thus, nor break the spell
That, o’er his lonely spirit flows, —
Removing sorrow.’s burning touch,
And hiding transiently his woes !
Ay, Child of the Forest, sleep in poace!
Untroubled, dream tby soothing dream,
Till, the Great Spirit calls thee henco
W here spotless suns, unclouded, beam.
Providence Twp., Oct. 23, 1857.
The Rev. George G. Cookman.
Many of our readers doubtless remem- :
her the Dev. Mr. Oookman, the talented
Methodist minister, who was chaplain of
the United States Senate, and subsequently :
iQSt in the steamer “President.”
The following sketch from the reminis- '
oenoes of the Hon. 0. H. Smith, published
in the Indianapolis Journal, will be highly
interesting to all who remember the elo
quent preacher and sterling man :
It was Sabbath morning. The last of
the city church bells was ringing as I left
my boarding bouse on Capitol Hill, at ]
Washington eity, for Wesley Chapel. It
was quarterly meeting. The preacher had
closed his sermon, when there arose at the
desk, a slender spare man, about five feet
eight, dark complexion, black hair falling
carelessly over his high forehead, lean
bony face, wide mouth, round-breasted
hlaek coat, with velvet falling collar, black
vest and pantaloons. Addressing the
congregation, he said: “We desire to
take up a small collection for the relief of
destitute, worn out Methodist preachers
and their families. We appeal *Cosday to
the hearts of the congregation,” and took
his seat. A large collection followed. I
whispered to Pitrick Gi Good, of Ohio,
who sat beside me, “Who is that ?” “Don’t
you know him? It is George G. Cook-
The next Sabbath I was at the Chapel
again. Mr. Oookman preached. I re
turned satisfied that he was no ordinary ;
man. The election for Chaplain of the
Senate came on a few days after, and with
out the knowledge of Mr. Cookman, I pri
vately suggested his name to the Senators ,
around me. The most of them had heard
him preach. He was elected Chaplain by
a decided vote over the Rev. Henry Sli- i
cer, against whom there was not the least
objection, but we wanted to bring Mr.
Cookman more prominently before the.
public. The next Sabbath he preached his
first Bermon in the hall of the House, to a
very large congregation, from the text,
“The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.”
He made a profound impression on his
hearers that day, which seemed to increase
with every succeeding sermon.
It is not my purpose to sketch the many
sermons of Mr. Cookman during the time
he was Chaplain of the Senate, the most of
which I heard. He was a clear, distinct
and powerful preacher. The remarkable
clearness of his mental vision enabled him
to Bee and describe whatever he touched
so as almost to make Paul, Silas, Peter,
Mirk and John stand before you as he
named them. His tone of voice, as he
warmed with his subject, and the tear
stealing down his cheek, were irresistible.
As a pulpit orator, take him all in all, ho
had few equals and no superiors, that I
ever heard. There was no plaoe for a
ehoir where Cookman sang. Ilis voice
was melody itself. I heard him in the
Senate Chamber on the funeral occasion of
Senator Betts, of Connecticut. The Cham
ber was crowded. The President, Depart
ment, Foreign Ministers, Senators and
Representatives were there.. I distinctly
remember one of his figures of speech.
“As the human family come upon the
great stage of life, they find at every fork
of the road the finger board distinctly
pointing to the grave—to the grave ! There
is no other road to travel from infancy to
old age, and death but the road that leads
to the grave.”
There was not a dry eye in the Chamber
when he closed his sermon of one hoar,
and sang alone the single verse jjof the
hymn— jj
And must this body die— ij
This well wrought frame decay ? ]
And mast these octiYe limbe of mine,
Lie mouldering in the clay ? ](
The session of Congress was about to
close upon the administration of Mr. Van
Buren. The inauguration of General Har
rison was soon to take place. Cook
man had all his arrangements made to visit
England on the s: earner President; The
first dispatch from the new administration
was to be confided to his charge. The
next Sabbath he was to take leave!of tho
members of Congress in his farewell ser
mon. The day came. An hour before
the usual time the crowd was seeh filling
the pavements of the Avenue, and pressing
up the hill to Representative Flail; which
was sobn filled to, overflowing, anjjl hun
dreds unable to get seats went awajr disap
pointed. I obtained a seat early in front
of the clerk’s desk. John Quincy'Adams
sat in the speaker’s chair facing Me. Cook
man. The whole space on the fostrum
and steps was filled with Senators and
Representatives. The moment had come.
Mr. Cookman, evidently much affected,
kneeled in a thrilling prayer, and rose with
his eyes blinded with tears. Hiji voice
faltered with suppressed as he
gave out the hymn— 'j
“When marshalled on the nightly plaijh.
The glittering hosts bestud the aky, j|
One star alone of all the train, jj
Can fix the sinner’s wandering eye.;
Hark ! hark ! to God the chorus break)
From every host, from every gem, j
But one alone, the Saviour speaks, i
It is the star of Bethlehem- \
Once on the raging seas I rode, , !
The storm was loud, the night was dark —
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed !
The wind that tosssd my founderingloark ” 1
The hymn was sung by Mr. (Jpokman :
alone. I can yet in imagination Hear his
voice, as it filled the large hall, rind the
last sounds, with their echoes, diejj away
in the dome. jj 1
“And I saw a great white throve, and
him that sat on it, from whose face the j
earth and the heaven fled away; arid there
was no place for them. ,j| j
“And I saw the dead, small an|d great, ;
stand before God, and the boo|s were
opeued, and another book, which is the
book of life, and <the dead were judged out
of those things which were writteri in the
books, according to their works.” ji
Mr. Oookman was more affected when
he gave us the text, than I had eyer seen
him before. He several times parsed his j
handkerchief over his eyes before hfe began, j
The first sentences are fresh in my recol- j
lection :
“When Massillon, one of the greatest
divines that Trance ever knew, was Sailed
to preach the funeral sermon of the] depart
ed King, in the Cathedral at Parish before
the reigning King, the royal family, the
chambers, and the grandees of Frpnee, he
took with him to the sacred desk ] a little
golden urn, containing a lock of hair of the
late King. The immense congregation
was seated, and the silence of death
reigned. Massillon arose, held the little
urn in his fingers, his hand resting upou
the sacred cushion. All eyes were intently
fixed upon the King. As his hand was
returned to the sacred cushion, the loud
and solemn voice of Massillon whs heard
in every part of the cathedral, ‘Glpd alone
■is great So I say to you, to-,day, my
beloved hearers, there is no humajn great
ness, ‘God alone is great !’ ” |
The subject was the Bay of Judgment.
I had heard it preached before many times,
but never as I heard it then. The im
mense congregation was held;' almost
breathless with the most beautiful| sublime
and powerful sermon I ever hoard. He
spoke of the final separation in the great
day of judgment and fancied thejanger of
of the Lord locking the door that opened
| to the bottomless pit, stepping upon the
ramparts, letting fall the key |in to the
abyss below, and dropping the last tear
over the fallen apd condemned: man. —
He closed— ;
“ I go to the land of my birthj to press
once more to my heart my aged; mother,
and drop a tear on the grave of my sainted
father ; farewell, farewell.” |
And he sank overpowered to inis seat,
| while' the whole congregation responded
| with sympathizing tears. j]
| General Harrison had been inaugurated.
I The despatches for the British government
; were signed by Mr. Webster and delivered
to Mr. Cookman. He took lea|e of his
friends at Washington, and left [for New
York. As we parted his last woijds were,
■ “May heaven bless you, Mr. Smith;. if
ever 1 return you shall see idle in the
West.” j
A few days afterwards, there |vas seen
: passing Governor’s Island the
new steamer “President,” on hefj outward
trip to Liverpool, with Mr. Cookman, Ty
, rone Power, and a long list of other dis
! tinguished passengers on board. djhe flying
steamer had left the lighthouse fait behind,
and moved gallantly on up the op|n Atlan
■ tic, with the prospects of as speedy and safe
voyage as any vessel that ever crossed the
ocean. Night was approaching. The
■ clouds in the heaven portended ajjstorm. —
The winds blew and howled aj dreadful
hurricane. The ill-fated vessel iwas seen
late in the evening, strugglirig with fate
now lying in the trough of the sea, now on
the top of the wave, now upon her side,
and again plunging, as it were| into the
abyss below
1,
“ The storm was loud, the night was|jdark,
The ocean yawned, and rudely blow'ed
The wind that tossed ray founderingjjbark.”
Morning came. The sun rose on an
open sea. The “President,” with all on
board, had gone down and was ndjver heard
of more. Thus perished, ere h 4 reached
the meridian of life, one of thel eminent
divines of our country. i| i

I LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1857.
Qeneral Jackson and Banks.
r There was no one question with which j
the strong mind of Andrew Jackson .grap
pled, says the Nashville Union, that he J
more thoroughly comprehended at the close j
of his illustrious public career, than that |
of currency and the evils of the banking ,
system, Federal and State. No one warred ;
with such determined resolution, or crushed 1
them so effectually,as he did. With the peo- i
pie at his back he bid defiance to the whole
monied power of the country. But (ien.
Jackson understood their seductive and ;
insidious arts to well to suppose that they |
would not "make other efforts to fix them- :
selves upon the vitals of the country. He
therefore took special pains in his farewell
address, which he bequeathed to his coun
trymen at the close of his eventful public
career, to anticipate these evils, recount
their -dangers, and warn their posterity
against them. It was for us who are now
upon the theatre of aotion that he wrote.
Let us heed, therefore, the following words
of wisdom as though the patriot and sage
still lived, and was speaking to us from
the capital:
“ The severe lessons of experience will,
I doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Con
gress from again chartering such a monop
oly, (as the Bunk of the United States)
even if the Constitution did not present an
insuperable objection to it. But you must
remember, fellow-citizens, that eternal vig
ilance by the people is the price of liberty ;
and that you must pay the price if you
wish to secure the blessing. It behooves
you, therefore, to be watchful in your
States, as well as in the Federal Govern
ment. The power which the moneyed
interest can exercise, when concentrated
under a single head and with our present
system of currency, was sufficiently demon
strated in the struggle made by the Bank
of the United States. Defeated in the
general government, the same class of
intriguers and politicians will now resort
to the States, and endeavor to obtain there
the same organization which they failed to
perpetuate in the Union ; and with specious
and deceitful plans of public advantages,
and State interests, and State pride, they
will endeavor to establish in the different
Slates one monied institution with over
grown capital and exclusive privileges suf
ficient to enable it to control the operations
of the other banks. Such an institution
will be pregnant with the same evils pro
duced by the Bank of the United States,
although its sphere of action is more con
fined ; and in the State in which it is char
tered, the money power will be able to
embody its whole strength, and to move
together with undivided forces to accom
plish any object it may wish to attain. —
You havo already had abundant evidence
of its power to inflict injury upon the
agricultural, mechanical and laboring
classes of society ; and over those whoso
engagements in trade or speculation ren
der them dependent on bank facilities, the
dominion of the State monopoly will be
abolished, and their, obedience unlimited.
With such a bank, and a paper currency,
the money power would in a few years gov
ern the Mate and control its measures;
and if a sufficient number of States can be
induced to create such establishments, the
time will soon come when it will again take
the field against the United States, and
succeed in perfecting and perpetuating its
organization by a charter from Congress.
“ It is one of the serious evils of our
present system of banking, that it enables
one class of society—and that by,no means ■
a numerous one—by its control over the |
currency, to act injuriously upon the in
terests of all the others, and to exercise
more than its just proportion of influence
in political affairs. The agricultural, the i
mechanical, and the laboring classes have
little or no share in the direction of the
great monied corporation j and from their
habits and the nature of their pursuits,
they are incapable of forming extensive
combinations to act together with united
force. Such concert of action may some
times be produced in a single city, or in a
small district of country, by means of per
sonal communication with each other ; but
they have no regular or active correspon
dence with those who are engaged in
similar pursuits in distanf places ;
they have but little patronage to
give'to the press, and exercise but a small j
share of iufluence over it; they have no
crowd of dependents about them, who hope
to grow rich without labor, by their coun
tenance and favor, and who are, therefore,
always ready to execute their wishes. The
planter, the farmer, the mechanic and the
laborer, all know that their success depends
upon their own industry and economy, and
that they must not expect to become sud
denly rich by the fruits of their toil. Yet
these classes of society form the great
body of the people of the United States ;
they are the bone and sinew of the coun
try ; men who love liberty, and desire
nothing but equal rights and equal laws,
and who, moreover, hold the great mass
of our national wealth, although it is dis
tributed in moderate amounts among the
millions of freemen who possess it. But
with overwhelming numbers and wealth on
their side, they are in constant danger of
losing their fair influence in the govern
ment, and with difficulty maintaining their
just rights against the incessant efforts
daily made to encroach upon- them.
“ The mischief springs from the power
which the monied interest derives from a
paper currency which they are able to con
trol, from the multitude of corporations
with exclusive privileges which they have
succeeded in obtaining in the different
States, and which are employed altogether
for their benefit; and unless you become
more watchful in your States, and check
this spirit of monopoly and thirst for ex
clusive privileges, you will, in the end,
find that the most important powet'3 of
government have been given or bartered
away; and the control over your dearest
interests has passed into the hands of these
j corporations.
“ The paper money system, and its nat
ural associates, monopoly and exclusive
privileges, have already struck their roots
deep in the soil, and it will require all your
efforts to oheok its further growth, and to
eradicate the evil. The men who profit
by the abuses, and desire to perpetuate
them, will continue to besiege the halls of
legislation in the General Government as
well as in the States, and will seek, by every
artifice, to mislead and deoeive the public
servants. It is to yourselves that you must
look for safety and the means of guarding
i and perpetuating your free institutions. In
your hands ib'rightfully placed the sover
eignty of the country, and to you every
one placed in authority is ultimately
responsible. It is always in your power
to see that the wishes of the people are
carried into faithful execution, and their
will, when once made known, must sooner
or later be obeyed. And while the people
remain, as I trust they ever will, uncor
rupted and incorruptible,; and continue
watchful and jealous of their rights, the
Government is safe, and the cause of free
dom will continue to triumph over all her
enemies.
“ But it will require steady and perse
vering exertions on your part to rid your
selves of the iniquities and mischiefs of
the paper system, and to check the spirit
of monopoly and other abuses which have
sprung up with it, and of which it is the
main support. So many interests are uni
ted to resist all reform on this subject, that
you most not hope the conflict will be a
short one, nor success easy. My humble
efforts have not been spared, during my
administration of the Government, to re
store the constitutional currency of gold
and silver ; and something, I trilst, has
been done toward the accomplishment of
this must desireable object. But enough
yet remains to require all your energy and
perseverance. This power, however, is in
your hands, and the remedy must and will
be applied, if you determine upon it.”
A Candle hectare Reversed.
The following is “ rich, rare and racy,”
and a capital hit at some husbands, and may
be read profitably by all who are inclined
to find fault where there is no fault. “ A
place for everything and everything in its
place,” is a rule that would prevent many
lectures were it practised more. But just
hear Mr. Caudle :
Now, Mrs. Caudle, I should like to
know what has become of my hat ? Here
I’ve been hunting all over the house, and
lost ten minutes that should have been
given to the Mutual Life Insurance Co.
Now, I say, what, have you done with that
hat? You have not seen it? Of course
not; never do see it. Frank, go and get
my hat, and Jane, fetch me my came. What’
that f You can’t find my hat ? Now, Mrs.
Caudle, I should like to know why you will
persist in training your children in such a
heedless manner'! He can't find my hat !
To be sure not; how can he if you don’t
learn him to look ? Did I not leave it in
the kitchen when T went there last night
after something to oat ? How the deuce
should you know ? I say it’s your business
to know, and to have my things all ready
for me in the morning, and not have me
losing so much of my time. Eh ! you have
too much else to do ? Of course you have,
with three servants and two children 1 Be
calm ! 0 yes, I will he calm ! You see
I am calm, and if you would only be so I
should have been able to find my hat long
ago, instead of staying here to listen to
your excuse, when I ought to be down
town attending to business. I.wonder how
you expect I’m to keep this house going,
if I’m to be kept waiting here for my hat.
What ! how can you help it ? How can
you help it ? Why, Madam, it’s the easiest
thing in the world ! It’s simply this mod
ern management. Now, do y'ou suppose
things would go on in this way, if you’d
only see that articles are in their right
places ; but I suppose you haven’t got
time to do that even ! Of course not.
Well, there is no use of talking, I must go
to the office bare-headed. Your bonnet,
madam! Your bonnet! But why should
I be surprised —why should I be surprised
if you should offer me your skirts also,
since I seem to have lost all authority in
this house ? It’s not your fault! aud pray,
then, whose fault is it ? I will repeat it
over twenty times, if you wish it—whose
fault is it 1 What! the servants 1 No,
ma’am ; I tell you, you are mistaken—it’s
not the servants —I tell you it’s your fault.
I wonder who oversees the servants—who,
madam, but you ? Then, it’s clearly your
fault that I can’t find my hat. (Sits down)
Well, it’s no use talking—l shan’t go to
the office to-day, and you, ma’am, shan’t go
to Newport —dy’e hear ? It is no use ask
ing, you shan’t go. You needn’t suppose
I’m going to be deprived of my hat in this
way, and then allow you to spend my
money at Newport. No, ma’am, I’m no
such fool as all that comes to. No, ma’am ;
here I am,and here I’ll stay all day, ma’am,
aud—oh ! what! You wish I wouldn’t talk
so much ? I tell you I will talk—l’ll talk
all day, if I please, and smoke too —d’ye
hearfhat ? I’ll smoke in the dining-room,
and yes, by Jove, I’ll smoke in the parlor,
and by Jove, ma’am, I will scent the cur
tains, I’ll smoke all over the house.”
“ Here, ” says Mrs. Caudle, “ the horrid
wretch was about putting his odious pre
cept into practice, when Jane came in with
his hat., having found it where it had been
left by him, in a corner of the large oak
chair, on the back porch.”
The Economical Landlady. One
day, when butter was scarce and high,
Mrs. Wiggins hit upon the economical
plan of spreading with her own economical
hands the butter upon the allowance of
bread she doled out to her boarders—
merely to save trouble. Mr. Jordan came
home to tea rather late on the first evening
of this new dodge, sat down in the pres
ence of all the other boarders, and re
ceived a slice from Mrs. Wiggins, who had
gone through the ceremony of buttering it
before his eyes. Mr. Jordan eyed the
bread inquisitively, and began to turn it
from side to side, and scrutinized it closely
through his spectacles. “ What is the
matter with your bread and butter !” de
manded Mrs. Wiggins. “ Nothing—noth
ing—nothing,” said Mr. Jordan, still turn
ing the piece over, and persisting in his
scrutiny'. “I’m positive, Mr. Jordan that
you do see something.” “ Now I want,”
said Mrs. Wiggins, her face becoming
flushed with exoitement, “ I want my
boarders to tell me right out when their
vittles doesn’t suit! Now, Mr. Jordan
what is it!” Mr. Jordan laid down the
slice upon his plate, raised his spectacles
to his forehead, and replied, with great de
liberation : “ Mrs. Wiggins, there is noth
ing the matter with the bread, I assure
you; but, Mrs. Wiggins,” and here Jor
dan glanced mischievously down the vista
of attentive faces, “ I have lived in this
world eight and forty years, and I find my
self this evening suoh a simpleton, that I
can’t for the life of me tell whioh side
of my bread is buttered!”

OUK STATE GOVEBJSnXESTT.
A knowledge of the structure of our
State Government, and of the organization
and duties of its several departments, is
what every citizen is supposed to possess.
And, yet when it comes to the test, we
are surprised to find how many are at a
loss to answer the simplest question relat- j
ing to the officers in service of the Com- ,
monwealth, and their several functions.— |
For the information of such, the Norris- I
town Watchman, has taken the pains to
prepare a brief sketch of the State Govern
ment as it is at present constituted, which '
we take the liberty of copying, with some .
alterations and additions : I
The Chief Officer of the Commonwealth j
is the Governor, who is elected every three
years. James Pollock, of Northumber- i
land county, holds that office now, having i
been inaugurated on the first Tuesday of I
January, 1855. He receives an annual l
salary of $3,500. The Legislature, last!
winter, inserted a provision in the General ■
Appropriation Act, restoring the salary of j
the Governor, after the expiration of the j
term of the present Governor, to what it j
was previous to the passage of the “ Re- i
form Bill ” of 1845, to wit: $4,000 a year. !
Andrew G. Curtin, of Centre county, is I
Secretary of the Commonwealth, at an an- ,
nual salary of $1,700. He is appointed ;
by the Governor, and holds his place dur- ,
ing his pleasure.
The Secretary was formerly also Super
intendent of Common Schools, but the '■
Legislature at its late session, separated i
'the State and School Departments, and -
made the Superintendent of Common :
Schools a distinct and independent officer.
The present Superintendent is Henry C.
Hickock, of Union county, who holds his
office tor three years from the first Monday ,
of last June. He is appointed by the
Governor, “ by and with, the advice and .
consent of the Senate.” His salary is
$1,400 per annum, and he is liable to be
removed by the Governor for misbehavior
at any time.
Henry S Magraw, of Lancaster, is State
Treasurer, at a salary of $1,700. This
officer is elected by the Senate and House
of Representatives in joint convention, on
the third Monday of January, in each and
every year. The present incumbent is ,
serving his second term.
The Auditor General is the “ watch
dog ” of the Treasury, and is the most im- .
portant of any to the tax-payers of the
State. It is his duty to keep the accounts ■
of the Commonwealth correct, to enforce
the collection of the revenue, and to see
that no plundering hand has entrance to
the Treasury. Our fellow-c'itizen, Jacob
Fry, of the Trappe, Montgomery county,
is the present incumbent. He was elected
by the people last Fall, and took his place
on the first Tuesday of May—holds office
three years, and has an annual salary of;
5i,700. !
John Rowe, of Franklin county, is Sur
veyor General, having been elected last
October. His term also began on the first
Tuesday of last May, to continue three
years, at a salary of $1,400 per annum.
Thomas E. Franklin, of Lancaster city,
is Attorney, General. He holds his office
by appointment of the Governor. An Act
of the last Legislature has made a great
change in the powers and duties of this
officer. Under the law as it existed since
the creation of the office of District Attor
ney. the Attorney General’s office was one
more of honor than of trust and influence.
His duties were merely nominal, and he
received a salary of only $3OO a year.—
But the Act of 1857 reconstructed the
office entirely, and it is now one of the first
importance in the administration of our
public business. Under this Act, the
Attorney General is required to have his
office at Harrisburg, to prosecute all suits
against defaulting public officers, to col
lect all debts dne to the Commonwealth, to
act as counsel in all cases in the Supreme
Court wherein the Commonwealth is a par
ty, and to give opinions on questions of
law submitted to him by the Governor,
Auditor General, State Treasurer, Sur
veyor General or Canal Commissioners. —
He must give bond in the sum of $30,000
as security for the faithful performance of
his duties. He is allowed a clerk, and
receives a salary of $3,000 a year. The
present Attorney General will hold his
office until a successor is appointed.
The Public Works are controlled by a
Board, consisting of three Canal Commis
sioners, one of whom is elected every year,
to serve three years. The Board consists
of Henry S. Mott, of Pike county ; Arnold
Plumer, of Venango county; and George ! Pennsylvania patent agency
