COMMISSARY GENERAL.

The Senate of the United. States after consider
able lapse of time, have rejected J. WASHINGTON
Tyson Esq, as Commissary General Of Purchase. =
II happened, fortunately, however, for Mr.. Tyson
that his case was not Immediately taken up by the
Senate as he thus has had ample time to show that
he was every way capable of dscharging the duties
of the appointment 1t was the impression of few
at first that he would have difficulty in getting
along with his new office but since he has been in
the execution of his duties he has satisfied every bo-
dy, with whom he has had any official business to
transact, that he was admirably qualified to fill the
Office of Commissary, place to which tn. President
thought proper to transfer him. His numerous
friends here are much dissatisfied with his rejection
nor can they discover the cause, seeing that he was
unanimously confirmed by the same Senate during
the former session Of Congress. Mr.. Tyson is gen
tleman of fine talents, and ought, in Judgment to
have been confirmed.

MIR. WEBSTER.

The war upon Mr. Webster is always carried on
with great yirulence Recently there have been Sc
vera attacks upon him of unusual malignity He has
been charged with specific crimes accompanied with
all the form and circumstances of detailed marathon
but as the sequel has proved, without the least par-
Gle of truth. For instance, he was charged with a
base motive for giving Office to a certain indiv-
dual, when, it turned out, the individual had ne
yer received any Office at all These attacks come
from the extreme left and the extreme right from
the violent Wings, and the violent Locos The
Globe, the Courier and Enquirer, and the Louisville
Journal though violent antagonists all other to-
PICS are of one mind in traducing Mr.. Webster.
The people have more at stake in this matter than
they are perhaps aware of. There is great nego-
tiation On foot at Washington England has sent to
us special envoy with large powers for settling all
matters of disagreement between the two nations
This envoy does not, like the resident minister Of
England, go to bed when other people get up, and
get UP when other people go to bed but he is
a business man. of liberal views and familiar with
the topics which he has me to discuss Mr. Web
ster is the man to whom this British Envoy is to adj
dress himself and he also is of business habits
and understands all the topics in discussion, to say
the least well as any other man in the nation. Two
sucl men Will be very likely To adjust everything up
on equitable principles and without great delay
Both knowing what right is, and both disposed to do
il, they will be likely to agree upon it, and that will
be melancholy thing To the extreme patriots for it
will bring some reputation to MIR, Tyler and his adj
minstration These calumniators would rather,
great deal that the nation were plunged into war or
into the bottom of the ocean, than that popularity
should accrue to any one but themselves and their
party. They are now, therefore, bending all their
efforts to prevent successful issue to Lord Ashbur-
tons mission But we are mistaken If the people do
not teach them different lesson. They have alrea-
dy learned something of popular opinion during the
present session. and if they had not given up their
Righteousness, the peals of public Indignation would
have Numbered louder and louder But the exigcn-
cy was provided for by the Loan BILL and the people
are quiet again
Who will be elected President at the next contest
do not predict; but John Tyler is, by the Const-
tuition and the election Of the people, President for
this term, and think the people will to IT that
he and the able Cabinet which surrounds him, are
furnished with all the necessary for fair and
honorable administration Of the government

Charles H. was one Of the most extensive and most
squandering monarchs England ever had. During
bis reign he received over f430O00O0.
To his successor, James H., Parliament voted
revenue oftwo millions sterling per for life.
The revenue for the thirteen years reign Of Will
liam and Mary, was over 70 millions sterling; and
for the twelve years of Queen Anne over 60 millions
in addition TO borrowed amount Of 60 millions
more.
The revenues of the House Of Brunswick are esti-
mated AZ follows:

1.-THE to- al aggregate" says writer on this sub
jec produced by all branches ofthe revenue, from
the accession Of George Ill TO he close of the war in
1915, was one billion, three hundred eighty-sir mil
lions, tco hundred and siTty-eight thousand four
hundred and forty-sir pounds sterlingl A sum
three times greater than ali the stock gold and silver
existing in the world in 1902 the epoch Of the great
est known abundance Of these metals.
These immense were chiefly expended for
three grand objects-to enforce Parliamentary laws in
the Colonies; 10 keep down and afterwards replace
the throne the Bourbon family; and to support
the various branches OF the Royal Family.
The King Of England replaced the Bourbons on the
throne Of France, at cost of above thousand mil
lions sterling The apount paid in the shape of an
nutes to the several members of the Royal Family
fifteen in number from l760 TO 1915, was fl2 6OO-
900 while the whole sum granted for useful disco
veries, and during fortyseven years, was only
Ell 463. From tho accession of William iii to 1915,
above one thousand one hundred millions were chiefly
expended in depressing the House of Bourbon while
during the same period equal sum appropriated
to raise it to the spendor and strengthen it in the
possession of the throne.
The subject we have thus briefly noticed, is one
exceedingly interesting in many points particularly
as showing how easy It is to originate and increase

another and to drain and exhaust the resources OF
the kingdom by profigate and squandcring princes

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE REVENUE OF

survey Of all the landed property in the Kingdom Of
William the Conqueror, for the purpose of adjusting
a royal revenue, which in A. D. 1906 was f40O, 600
Under William Rufus, it was in 1887, 1850, 900.
Henry in 100, it was 100000.
{" Stephen in 1856, il was 4250,OOO.
The pound at that time, was equivalent to the
weight Of three at present, and in real value
fold more; that 9400 900 then, would command as
much service, &C., as four million pounds The
above monarchs constituted the Norman line, and il
was distinguished by two points public credit was
unknown, and the expenditure was not greater than
the revenue.

There is much difference of opinion with regard 10

the herd of cursoIy dabbers who read editorial arti-
