Not So Poor, After All

(i cu. Spinner has rsceived h saltar of $0,000 i year for ftmrteen years. 'lUs expenses have not been as great as thosc OÍ any of the woinen wlio do the work without any special credit, and who reoeive .$900 a year. The General has his apartments in the Treasury freo of rnnt. He lias the services of both malo and témale messengers, whose salaries are paid by the government. Two colorcd j women, who attend to his vooras in tho !

'i'iie two men who held responsible. positions under (íen. Spinner, and were defaulters to the amount [ of $40,000, were his mvn frieuds, and i they wire fro'.ti hia own town of Mohawk, N. Y. Ho brought the men to Washington, gave theni the high positions they held, aud never in the tliree years during which they were peoulatiug did Gen. Öpinner examino their accounts or discover the loss of money until Johnson confessed wliat ha had done. When Congress met Gen. Spinner asked to be relieved, although it would not have cmbarrassed him any more to have made good that 40,000 loes, than ior poor women to be constantJy mulcted $'25 or $30. The Treasurer was paid $0,000 a year for his responsibility, and bas nevor lost a cent. Why should not the women be paid snfficieiit'ly for their rcsponsibilities ? Gen. Spinner has two sons-in-law who are doing a banking business in Florida. The General is a largo stockholder in their bank. He has at least $5,000 a year for investment, as he has no one but himself to próvido for. So, after all, the Treasurer, though honest, cannot be so very poor and needy. -
