previous year!
How was this enormous increase expended
A friend has given US clue, in one item of ex-
pendiiure denon,inaied incidental expendi-
lure" amounting in that year 10 The exlraordlna-
ry sum of s437.349 55. This item did mol OBJ
lain place in the report, though II nigh, seem 10
deserve very conspicuous one, if We estimate
It's Importance by ls magnitude, or as COM
pared with previous 4" incidental expenditures
In his report of 1885, Mr.. Kendall says the
incidental expenses" amounted to S92, 1924
30 the previous year it was much less Thus
i, will be seen. tina, during this unfortunate
year, 1888, the Incidental expenses" are
swelled TO an enormous amount, aud exceed
those Of 1885 more than three hundred and for
ty-four thousand dollars. This item Of Incl

why? We learn from authentic sources that

that officer had not sufficient integrity and moral

Mr.. Van Buren's administration the expendi-

minislraion by more than million Of dollars.
We leave i, to those who use the money to

Of dollars from the Treasury became necessary

General Markle's Competency.

The Somerse. Herald, in speaking of the
charge of incompetency, SO boldly made by Lo-
cofoco editors, against Gen. Markle, says:
This declaration Of the Locoloco press, is an
insult, 10 the people Of Westmoreland, Alleghe-
my, Washington. Fayette, Beaver, Somerset
and other Western counties where Gen. Mar
kle is bes, known, and where his worth is ap-
precia,ed-an insul. that will be resented al
The ballot box, so as TO make these Tevilers Of
the old Patriot tremble.
We know not what standard the Locefocos
would establish, by which to judge of a mans
capacity to fill the Gubernatorial chair but this
we do know, if Gen Markls had been half as
long in public life as Henry A. Muhlenherg,
the Locofoco nominee, he would have given
thousand stronger and better evidences Of ca
paci,y to fill the Office of Governor than Mr..
Muhlenberg has done. We know The old He
TO of Mississinewa intimately and well, and we
feel indignant when we hear charges Of incom-
potency, which we know 10 be false, urged
against him. We know him 10 be a man Of
sound sense, strong judgment, extensive read
ing, and one well acquainted with the political
topics of the day, and we therefore tell those
who clamOr so much about his ncompetency,
that they are either ignorant of his character.
or they wfully and basely falsify.
We have said lha, the Iocofoco Press, with
three exceptions, had made the charge Of unfit
ness. |, may be well 10 mention The fact, tha,
those exceptions are the Locoioco papers pub
lished in Westmoreland, the county where
Gen. Markle resides. They have not yet pre-
tended to tell the people of that county, that the
man who lives among them, and is esteemed by
Them for his many virtues and excellent quail
ties, is unfit TO be Governor, and our word for
ii, they dare not do it,
But, the People understand this charge, it
was made by the same party agains; the la
menied Harrison. An indignant people then
told these caumnia,ors, in thunder tones, that
they lied and The same people, that performed
an act of justice 10 the good Harrison by pro-
lecling him from The cslumnies of pensionsd
editors and hirelngs, will now step forward to
the rescue Of HaIrison's fighting Captain, and
lriumphanily sustain him, against those who
wish 10 destroy him by defamationl

OLD VIRGINIA, O. X.

The good "Old Dominion" is coming TO

in agains, the spoilsmen and office seekers
We have not yet received returns from every
part Of the State, but as far as heard from, the
news is Of the most exhilarating character; and
shows an astonishing Whis gain.
In fifty three counties heard from, the Wings
have carried 43 members of the Legislature,
and the Locos %. Las, year, in the same
counties the Wings had 35, and the Locos 81,
showing mel, Whig gain Of 9 members.
A gain Of more will secure majority on

expires on the 4,h of March next.

The Legislature.

Our State Legislature, no doubt, terminated
their labors at Harrisburgh, on Monday last.
Our news from there is down to the noon OF
that day, at which time the Governor had jus,
signed the Bill for the sale Of the Main Line Of
our Public Wsrks, it having previously passed
both houses. The price is fixed at 10000 600,
and The Act contains section authorizing the
laying of State Tax of three mills on The dol
lar, 10 pay the interest of our debt.
On Monday, Mr.. Bigler, resigned his Office
of Speaker of the Senate, and after number
Of baloiiings, Mr.. Wilcox was chosen in his
place.
The Governor alse vetoed the Appropria.
lion Bill, on account of its containing clause
taxing the salaries Of Judges. The reason CIV
en- by The Governor is, that the Supreme Court
have decided thai The Legislature possesses no
power 10 Tax such salaries.

How to Clean n Fowling Piece.

Sir Ashley Cooper seemed to be innately

object of practical utility in view. In this sell

of applying his knowledge TO the daily con-
Germs Of life, and delighted in suggesting I'M

of his says:-"I remember upon one occasion
saying in his hearing, must send my gun 10
have il cleaned for il has become so much
leaded that il has become unfit for use."-
"Pooh!" said he, "send it 10 London! Keep
few ounces of quicksilver in the gun case,
and then you can easily unload your gun your
self. Stop up the touch hole by means Of a
little wax; and then pouring the quicksilver in-
