Oat attention was very forcibly called to the gnlgect of the salaries of our publio officers by some remnfks of the Governor in his late annua message, and other things have frequently re called the matter to oar minds.; Probnbly.no earnest minded man has seriously reflected upon the subject without seeing in it much that is embarrassing, and many evils to be cured ; and • very few of such persons will. maintain that our publio officers generally are sufficiently well paid for the sorvices that are exported of them. Where the publio stand in need of any pro perty, it is never thought they should get it for less than individuals would pay. When counsel are employed in a special case; when contracts are made for any kind of work or materials for the phblio, no narrow views of economy control the action of the State. But, certainly, it is not so when the State is seeking for executive, legis. lative or judicial talent. Then, the very lowest price at which people can ho got to take office, is fast becoming the measure of the salary. It is well known that many of onr highest officers cannot maintain their families as they were previously accustomed to do it, on the salaries they receive. Many public officers have to enter into private speculation in order to mako up for tbiß deficiency, and it is believed that this very deficiency is the occasion and the excuse for most of the fraude committed on tho govern ment. There arc many important offices whioh honest men will not take, because they cannot make ah honest living by thorn, while bad men accept them /with dishonest ’views. Perhaps there are no offioers, called State ofE oers, ns distinguished from county officers, who receive each salaries ns are allowed in commer cial employments, excepting tho inspectors of flour, batter, whisky, &a. Some of tho county and city officers are well paid. A very few cases will illustrate this. The presidents of insurance companies and hanks in Philadelphia get from : $BOOO to $6OOO a year. Cashiers of banks the same. The President, Treasurer, Secretary and Engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company get from $3,500 to $OOOO a year, and it is no uncommon thing for clerks and foremen in large commercial and manufacturing establishments to receive from $2OOO to $BOOO a year. Now, no ono will pretend that tho State payß any snch compensation for the talents which she requires. She gives her Governor $3,000; her ■ heads of departmeuts from $1,400 to $1,700 ; and the judges of tho Supreme Court about $2,- 300: tho judges of the Courts of PaiUdclphia county $2,600, and those in other counties of of the State from $1,600 to 53,000. For our present purpose, we need not be more specific, When the State can get really oompetent and worthymen for such offices, is it right to require of them Booh sacrifices ? Ought not the State to bid for tho best talents by offering as fal compensation as cambo obtained in pnvato em ployments ? Is it not true, os suggested by tho Governor, that while the publio service furnishes such compensation, public offices will be used merely as a step to some other more profitable positions? And plainly such is tho result, for -almost alt State officers seek tho first opportuni ty of getting the more profitable offices of tho general government. And wp find judges of the Supreme Courts, and even Governors in other States, becoming presidents, of banks, railroa companies, &o.; and in some of the adjoining Stateß, and even in our own, we expect to sec judges of tho Supreme nnd other Courts resign ing their positions, heeanso-of inadequate eala - ties. It is well known, too, that many lawyers ' refuse to bo candidates for judicial positions, be cause of tho low salaries. All this proves that the highest talent of the land cannot bo obtain ed for tho publio'business, though that ib the most important of any, because the welfare of a Whole people depends upon it. It proves, too, that in private enterprises the best talent is Bought and obtained, while in public affairs sec - ond or third rate talent is considered sufficient, or the best talent iB put on a level with it as to its rewafdß. ' This subjoot presents n serious consequence, . which the signs of the times indicate ns likely t» follow. If'the public should let it bo under otood that publio offices of the higher grades must'always be taken at a eerions sacrifice, then it must be considered, ns equivalent to partial abandonment by the State of its duty. Tar tialty, at least, the higher duties of government will he committed to weak hands, men who will ho liable to bo made dopes of the designing. Gradually we shall see, an* wo do already see, power slipping from tho pcoplo and their repre ' Bentatives Into' the hands of powerful corpora tions, nnd of associated wealth. The best tal ents will always bo the moßt efficient, and if the State cannot have them, she must submit to see : them used against her. If such talents ore not found in our publio officers, they will bo all around them, pressing upon them, and guiding their actions with all the earnestness and power that the love of money, ond of money making, • can produce. We throw out these suggestions for the pres «nt with the desire of awakening publio ntten tion to a matter of muoh importance. PWBI.WA*IO« OF THE lAWB. We are informed that a bill has been mtro dnocd into the Honee of Representatives at Harrisburg, to provide for the Peahen of the laws in newspapers by authonfi/j an b expenie of (he State. The object of the bill is to bleed the treasury to the tune of from six y o eighty thousand dollars per year, for the benefit of sixty or eighty newspaper establishments in the Commonwealth, that cannot well get along ■without a little “pap" out of the State Treasury. It might possibly benefit««; but wo are sure it would not benefit the people, and we prefer to get along without it, till tbo already over-taxed ' people are better able to bear snoh au additiona ■burden. Snoh a law exists in Ohio, and, tee are (old, it costs that State over sixty,thousand dol lars’ a year to pay the expense. And, we are farther told, that the papers selected for the ■ publication of the laws are, in some instances, papers of small circulation, end that havb no ! other recommendation than mere subserviency to the “ powers that be,” and as tools of small factions that undertake to manage the affairs of the people without their knowledge or consent, ijhe post wants no money not fairly earned, ; and asks no tax on the people forits support, ex oept its subscription price, for which we feel •' pare we give value, and the advertising patron, age which its large circulation renders it the in terest of business men to bestow. . . . We hope the members at Harrisburg will con sider thiß matter carefully before imposing such 6 useless burden on the people. KBVi and Fact* trom allftmortern.

On Saturday, while the honorable portion of the passengers wore at table, the fiend entered the state-room of Mrs. Phillips, and broke open her trunk for the money. Fortunately, she had the bills about her person, and the object of the thief was thus frustrated. Maddened, no doubt, by the dis appointment, the wretoh immediately formed the idea of setting fire to the trunk. He lighted a bunch of matches and threw the brand among | the lady’s clothes. The smoke which issued forth was soon perceptible throughout the cabin, and a search for the cause was instantaneously commenced. When discovered, a greater part of the oontents of the trunk was found to be de stroyed, and the whole badly injured. , The trunk was plaoed under the bed. in such a position that the blaze would inevitably have communicated with the combustible materials of the room, and ended in a general conflagration.

Population or Caufoukia.— Our present population is composed of 250,000 Americans, 261000 Germans, 25,000 French, I<,ooo China men, 20,000 of Spanißh blood, 5)000 misccllane oca foreigners, 20,000 Indiana and 2,500 Ne groes. Of these, about 65,000 are women, and perhaps 80,000 children. We can only estimate the number of ohildreh, having no reliable sta tißtica upon that point. According to this esti mate, nearly two thirds of the population are Americans, nearly one third of fo r<s 'g a hirth, one-thirteenth French, one-thirteenth Gennans, one-nineteenth Chinese, nearly one-eleventh ohil : dren.and one-Bixteenth Indians. The census ta ken last fall represented the population to.be 265,436; but the Governor, in communicating that document to tho Legislature, expressed his belief that 808,607 was a more correct estimate. The census agents reported 83,000 Indians, nut this was-made without aoourato. examination, and we think it too large. Aoeording to the cen bus, there were only 60,000 foreigners, but that wo know to be toojmall, as there were nearly that many Germana'hnd French, without count ing tho Chinese, Bpauisb, and Miscellaneous for- Vigners, who were almost as numerous.—ban Francisco Herald. ■■ -■ The Albany Expreea says that Mrs Nich lilAdn her speech Bhe delivered in the afternoon, ftMerted that God Mended that man and woman Bhould bo but bad failed in its object. t < % *~ t ;,' .•. ;■ ■ ’ ■ ,y * ;-. n‘"V."..JJU;ii ■ ■ ' ' ~ BS- WBat our,■ W«lgl»l>or» May ofDr. S»-=asa»i2a®tfisS some owes overflowing the bridges.
