There are several honest overseers in this Department, of course, and we heartily sympathise with them. Men with $100 a month must find it a hard struggle to refuse the "cumshaws" which the rascally Chinese contractors press on them, and to have to return, as a matter of conscience, the generous contributions towards their Christmas cheer which they see their fellow employés accepting wholesale. They unfortunately get but little credit for such exceptional honesty. Not very long ago several Chinese contractors were reported to the head of the Department by one man of integrity, for trying to suborn him, and strangely enough, these scoundrels are silil employed by the Surveyor-General. Another member of the Department had fourteen turkeys giving a musical entertainment in his back-yard last Christmas-all presents from contractors and other persons who, no doubt, expected some quid pro quo. Yet the latter officer is probably as "solid" with his chief as his colleague who was above being bribed,
