DESPERATE HURRY FROM JEALousY-MELAN-
CunLY CONSEQUENCES.

Paris. Sent 26-Considcrable sensation has
been excited in Madrid by murder committed
lbv NJ. Rodriguez, the deputy, on the person OF
! his wife, a Young and beautiful woman, to whom
he was married about two years ago at Seville.
NJ Rodriguez, who is extremely Jealous, ac-
companied his lady to masked ball given by
Vinadores. His wtes brother was amongst the
guests incognito. and wishing to cure his brother
n-law of his failing, imprudently accosted him
with an inquiry if he was still jealous ever.
IL am at all events not jealous of you, beau mus
que," was the reply. There you are wrong,'
said the mask, "for you have very handsome
wife, with whose charms | am deeply smiten.'
$50 much the worse toI you, retored Nj. Rodri-
guez. '.By no means,'' said the brother, '.for
your wife returns my affection, and, as a proof
of it, can inform you that she has a violet mark
under her right bosom.'' At these words NJ
Rodriguez seized the stranger with the utmost
violence by the hand, exclaming, "Your life or
mine! Meet me in quarter of an hour at my
house, He then tore his wife from the qua
drille which she was dancing, and without say
ing word to her, hurried her home. On reach
ing his hotel. he ascended the staircase with his
wife still on his arm. dragged her into his cabinet
without procuring light, opened his secretary
and, taking from it loaded pistol, placed the
muZzle close to his wife's bosom, and shot her
through the heart. At the report, number of
domestics accompanied by the ill-fated lady's
brother, who had been the involuntary cause of
this irlghltul catastrophe, rushed into the room
with LIGHTS. On witnessing the dreadful sight
which met his eyes, the brother tore off his mask
and proclaimed his near relationship to the vic
tim. The disclosure deprived the wretchcd hus-
band of his senses, and he was hurried from the
spot i'll a state of raving madness, which the
Madrid correspondent, whom we quote, fears he
will not -,S,oa0y lIoruing Ne1rs.

Speaker Of tho House Of Rep
: STATEMENT.

The above is copied from an official doc
umcnt, and cannot be denied by any
This exhibit shows an alarming increase
of the expenditures of the government
And the immense increase of the expendi,
ture, is the more startling as it occurred
under an administration which made sc
many professions Of economy. The ex'
penditures of the Government for the
years 1895, '26, 81, and 28, inclusive, Il.
mounting to $50,501,913 81. This was
thought extravagant; and well recoIlecr,
that nothing contributed more to PROSTATE
those who then administered the Govern
ment, that what was considered useless
expenditure of public money.
! we'll recollect, too, that the admins
tration WHICH succeeded, came into power
under promises TO economist and reform.
How were these promises kept? Let the
above official statement answer. The ex-
penditure of this econonizing, reforming
administration amounted in the first four
years to $56,250,459 62, exceeding the
expenditures Of tho preceding admInlstra-
ton, for the same length OF time, S5,74o,-
SAG 81. And in the next four years this
same economical administration expended
$89,522,286 GO, showing an increase in
extravaganza of $33,o7l,827 Of in the
short space Of four years. And in the
memorable year Of 1887, the expenditures
of the Government amounted to $3.50, l64,-
TAI SO, part Of which may be charged to
the laLe economical administration, and Il
part TO the present administration, which
is pledged "to follow in the footsteps OF its
ilustrous" preceding one.
!tmay be asked how this increase OF
expenditures accrued! And the facts
which furnish the answer in part, to this
question, demonstrate another gross incon-
sistcncy in the professions and practice Of
the present and past administration. ms
subject of expenditure and extravaganza,
which | have selected, is that OF Internal
improvements. Ii will be recolectcd, that
tho party, in whose hands the AFFAIRS OF
his Government have been placed Tor the
last nine years, has protested great ao-
norrcnce for internal Improvement

ed BY a National Bank" In all these ex-
tracts the connection OF the Government
with banks, is recognised as legal; and II
right to regulate the currency is claimed,
and the banks are instructed so to rcgu.
late their accommodations as to prove &C.
ceptable to the people. think recon-
mendaIion to divorce the government from
banks, comes with bad grace from those
who sustained and advocated the connec.
ton; and particularly from one who is
pledged to carry out the measures, and
tolio'O inMs footsteps Of hisNlustriOas pre-
decess0r.
This pet bank system nev( had my
appreciation. always believed it would
fail; and now repeat the opinion hereto
fore expressed, that NATIONAL BANK
innot only "lhe BEST" but the only means
of restoring and sustaining a sound and
uniform currency. But candor compels
the to add, that the known hostility of the
present Chief Magistrate to such an insti-
tuition, precludes all hope Of its establish
ment during his administration, unless the
people, in their wisdom, shall return to
Congress sufficient majority to carry 1t
over the Presidents veto. We must adapt
ourselves TO the present state of things;
and | cherish the hope, that by prudent
management, the State institutions will be
able to improve the deranged currency, in
some measure, and to afford exchanges at
a cheaper rate, in shorter time, than
they do at present.
ltmay not be undressing to you, fell
low-citizens, to hear something of the ex-
pendtures Of the Government will
give you the official statement of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, in his own Ian
guage. It's as follows:
"Treasury Department,

Sir: In obedience to the resolution Of
the House of Representatives of the 25th
