The beauties OF Wing Finnncicring.
The wings of this country are continually harp
ing on retrenchment. Nothing goes right to
suit them, but Just give to them the reigns Of
government and the rights Of the peopie-- the
honest tar payers of the country will have their
I ghts protected As an evidence of this fact,
look upon this picture:

THE EWING GALPHlN.
When Ewing was Secretary of the Interior he
had some namesake or relative who prot; ssed To
have an old claim against the government of $4,-
254 81. This claim was magnifed into 32,t26-
Ca as follows, and and paid
Original claim. $4,a5a 81
Interest to Dec Is, 1923, 1885 s3
Interest from Dec, 90 to Jan. so, 1882 SO
$34,ea6 64
This was compromising interest very nicely,
and shows how Whig Secretaries do up things at
Washington.
This is about on the same principle that the
! Ga-ete man and his satellites, who harp so much
about county expenses, would do up matters
There is no better fnnnciers in the country than
these rctrenchment loving coons. Now look at
this specimen of whg retrenchment.
CRAWFORD AND CORWiN
G. W. Crawford and Thomas Corwin, two of
the Federal Cabinet, have received S170,0U0 for
their services in obtaining the passage OF two
claims This would have furnished the whole
army of Gen Taylor with supplies for
paign.
Here are two more items:
10000 DOLLAR FEE.
Tom Corwin, the Wing Secretary of the
Treasury, lnade $4,000 out of the Gardiner
claim, in one week. 1t would require laborirg
man or mechanic to live and work two hundred
and sxty-six years, at one dollar day, to make
this sum.
10000 DOLLAR FEE.
Geo. w. Crawford, Secretary of War under
Gen, TAYLOR, received $4,000 out of his servi-
ces in the Galphin claim. farmer would have
to sweat and toll three hundred years to cam =
this of money
The above are only few specimens Of fnan-
ciering by the super ten Wings. Now, give
the 'ssmall fry in this country chance-judg
ing from the above, they would cook up pretty
mess of whg retrenchment What lovers of the
dear people, these coons arc.
The .New York Herald OF the 23d contains
the following card from the Cuban prisoners,
from which it will be seen that they denounced,
in no measured terms, the conduct of Mr..
Owens, consul at Havana. We confess
our surprise that this man has not been recalled,
or some reason assigned why he should not be.
If his conduct has been such this card repre-
sents it to have been, he ought not to be allow
ed to hold his Office day.
Card of the .7meyican Prisoners.
We. the undersigned, prisoners in the City
Prison of Havana. on account of our connection
with the late Cuban expedition, under the
command of Gen. Lopez, cannot withhold an
expression Of our feelings toward the American
Consul, Mr. - Owen, of Georgia, now at
this place. Since our arrival at this place, he
has honored US once by his presence but since
that time, although repeatedly solicited, has al
ways steadily refused to revisit US, either IN his
private or official capacity. Placed as we are,
feel an act of this kind far more deeply than if
otherwise circumstanced. How To account for
it we know not, but can only ascr:be It to that
worst of all feelings, inhunani;y, or that more
degraded still, cowardice.
We write this so that our conntrymen at
home, may know what kind Of man Is placed
at the head of their affairs at this place.-St.
Louis (Whig) hateitigeneer.
The administration, in place of ousting him,
as it should have done, has given the public to
understand, that he will be retained. 1t is
disoraceful abuse Of the executive prcroga-
tive.
