The GOVERNMENT AND ITS RAGs.--All
the letters from Washington city state that
the Secretary Of the Treasury has pre-
pared BILL TO be submitted to the Com.
miltee Of Ways and Means, and through
them reported to the House, for an issue of
ten millions Of dollars in Treasury notes, in
sums not Jelow ten dollars. This fact speaks
volumes as to the financial condition of
the Government, and shows to what sort
OF resources we are about to resort.
A locofoco letter writer to the Philadel-
phia Spirit of the Times. admits the fact
Of this contemplated issue, but undertakes
TO apologize for il by saying that the AID.
ministration proposes issuing its lot of rags
"merely TO supply temporary deficiency"
Folks stuff rags into broken windows to
"supplyltemporary deficiencies" but it was
one of the maxims of "Poor Richard"
that where you see the windowsof house
crammed with rags and old hats, you may
set down the owner as an idle and worth.

PUBLIC PRINTER.

We regret exceedingly that our neighbor,
Of the Democrat, was denied the privilege
of becoming candidate for Public Prin.
ter. The poor fellow appears to be SO
much hurt over it, we really pity him
Hear what he says: .--. .f
1.-THE present law creating the office Of Public
Printer. proscribes all printers out Of Jefferson
City. from any chance Of obtaining the office.
This is rather manipulating feature. With
the view OF becoming candidate for share Of
2 the "loaves and fishes" we had requested sew
eral OF the members to have that aspect Of the
law changed A Prophet in this place, told US,
more than week ago, that this would not be
done. Well, so let IL be; but however much
good luck we may wish the candidate elect, we
cannot be so unchartable towards ourself as
not to think it would have been honorable, and
fair, and just to have allowed US at least the
privilege Of becoming candidate! The labor
OF twenty years, most OF the time actively en-.
gagged in the dissemination Of those wholesome
political truths which have regenerated our coun.
try, ard distinguished our civil and religious in.
su.ons as pre.eminenlly superior 10 those Of
all other governments on the face of the EARTH,
does not aid Us 10 agreeing with the Legislature
that such prescription is right. 1t certainly is
wrong. ...E T....s.
The idea of Polk man disseminating
wholesome political truths is absurd in the
extreme. If wholesome political truths
q were ever disseminated by you, it must have
been when you were publishing wing
newspaper. Surely, not since.
We could not imagine what caused our
Junior to feel SO large, previous to his leav-
ing for St. Louis. 1t was, no doubt, be.
cause he was allowed the privilege Of bccom-
ing candidate for Public Printer.
We are also informed Lusk, of the In
quirer, feels big too, he was allowed the
privilege Of becoming a candidate and re.
ceived one vote. Glory enough for one
day.

| WASHINGTON, December 20, 1876.
A very melancholy suicide occurred here last
evening. Mr.. Maury, young gentleman MUCK
| esteemed among his associates, and clerk in The
office OF the Secretary Of the Treasury, blew his
brains out at his boarding house in this city.
1t is said that he had bee n enticed to play on
Saturday night-that he had entered a gambling
establishment, where he was completely fleeced
Of all his money. During Sunday he drank
deeply, and last night comm tted tho act while
in state of temporary mental arrangement The
transaction has thrown gloom over the depart,
ment.
Colonel Baker, OF Illinois, made very good
speech to day in the House Of Representatives
upon the war with Mexico. He said he would
not enter into the question Of whether the war
was just or unjust, and he considered that that
was not a question which should now agitate
either party; but that they should at once act
act moo- for the relief Of the army The Colo
mel may perhaps have drawn too strong picture
Of the horrors of the campaign, yet the thinning
was bold aud graphic. He concluded by offering
resolution authorizing the commanders Of reg
ments 10 give the soldiers clothes at the prices
they cost the United States. He desired, also,
that gratuily Of three months pay should be
sent TO each officer and soldier noW. The speech
was listened to with much attention, and the
resolution considered at once. The Colonel
leaves again tomorrow for the seat Of war; F..
1t is reported that another call is 10 be made
for 10000 more men, and that the President
will at once send in message, asking for a
further increase OF the army TO that amount
This is Uhiuling down the absolute necessity
with a vengeance, indeed. At least-the yery
least-30,000 more men will be required before
the contest can be terminated, and the President
may as well ask for them first as last. But un
fortunately for his little Excellency. he has not
the moral courage to stand up point blank to
the mark, and say to Congress what is really
necessary to be said, and what he must say be-
fore the adjournment OF the present session.

"The select committee 10 whom was
referred the duty of investigating certain
charges against the representative from
Dade county, made very unfayorable
report, and recommended to the House the
adoption of the following resolution.
RESOLVED, That B. F. Walker, representa-
tive elect from the county Of Dade, be and is
hereby expelled during the remainder of the pres
ent session Of the General Assembly OF the
State Of Missouri from, and deprived OF all right
TO claim, his seat upon the floor of this House,
for conduct which has rendered him Infamous,
and unfit to associate with gentlemen, and rep.

So large portion of the members of
our Legislature being Locos, we are not
at all aslonished to find such men among
them as b. T. Walker, Of Dade. He will
look well returning to his constituents

deed, must have been his conduc, to be
expelled by Loco Foco Legislature.
