GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

TO THE EDITOB. Sir— When a stranger enters that Palladium of seoreoy and myatery he is overwhelmed by the mysterious and suffocating air which pervades tho largest wooden building known -an army of messengers guarding tbe entrances, passages, and floors ; and flitting clerks flying and dodging for 1 dear life from basement -to roof, with anxious, startled, careworn look glancing 1 furtively at yon, and misery impressed ' on their whole demeanour lest your business there is to snpplant them. To 1 Buch an uncertain degree is their tenure ' of office brought by the present oecupintß ' of Ministerial benches that thin dread fear ! wholly pervades them, terror-stricken lest ' their days be numbered by an ultra-1 iberal 1 Government, and this, too, in an enlightened > age, and a free (?), glowing young country. 1 A reign of terror posßesseß it under the : present Administration, or, more correctly > speaking, maladministry, with a fear of a 1 return to the customs of i Atjto da Fit. sth June, 1895.
