POLITICAL APPROPRIATIONS.

that having wasted half a million dollars
in th
. employments,
of electioneering
agents. - under the namei of., deputy mar
shali, at the seuth, : during‘the presidental
camPaign, some members of the bread
and-butter brigade are howling about the
, _
niggardliness of theappropriation& made
by the_ last Congress. The - expenses of
the federal courts,:in the southern states
especially, have increased beyond all
season oflate years; and it is perfectly
well: known that the funds of 'the
_depart
linent•of justice have been used to a large
I extent for political
. purposei. It is fur ,
thermore believed that this abuse has ex
isted, though in a less degree, all over
tne•cOuntry. 'The system under, which
the_United States, marshals anddistrict
attorneys manage ,the administration of
justice in the federal courts, appears to
Ine peculiarly adapted to the - encourage-
Anent of frauds =and extravagance; and
the present shortness' of , .'rinds seems to
offer a desirable occasion` forfora complete
revision of the whole , business. It will`
ne
. renietnbered. that in the courseof

; The asnal
„Spring -flood .h aapiaced the
Tielaware. in good
. rafting order, and 'rafts
for the past"ten-Atiya-41ave \l:4en coming
down freely. Afanyyears ago the "tying
locality i .:rafts in: the *Delaware
River, at .Ph iladelpfiis- was along,sh9rein
old. Kensington: 'The March-titiMproVe
ment then pushed then' toward:Rich
mond, hut the,Railroad Company gradu
04 thercii)oliied - the , river front at thht
place, and the rafts forc.ett further
up the river; and now lie . , 'just' belOw
Birdeiburg." The run of rafts thiti Spring
is about three-fourths the usual run. The
avererfor logs will iiot from present
indidations exceed s6' int thousand feet.
A feiv sales of extra fine rafts, are ie
porteid.to have brought $8: Many rafts
•
of small loge, poor quality, have sold as
low aws4.so,and 5. Sawed lumber 'seems
to' he in rather . better -deinand, a number .
-of sales being reported at from $9 to *ll
: per thousand. The :bulk howeier, .w4l
likely, be sold at $7 to $8 per thousand.
It is said there is not much more than
half the usual quantity of lumber on
'the banks thie 'season, the dry weailier
last suranierL, and fall, and the severe
: winter keeping,the
saw mills idle.
Cherry lumber is bringing at the Wa-
Jet, Gap $2O to" $25 per thousand. The
lumber is sold at
,that place, o to the large
Slate frame factories. The supply is
represented 'as exceeding - the demand.
One reason given for this is, that a'great
deal, of lainber readies
. the city by rail
road, and lumber Jlealers,, prefer buying
that„eyen at higher prices, because they
