Another Expensive Humbug.

1t has always been the fate Of the Wing party to ever
throw themselvesb their folly and extravaganza when
ever they chance to get into power. The last grand
humbug started for the purpose of wasting the public
funds fit out the mammoth ship Pennsylvania and
send her to the Worlds Fair, at London with the arti-
ces that may be destined by countymen for that cx
hbition 1t is supposed that the cost of fitting this huge
Levathan for voyage across the Atlantic and keeping
her there during the Fair would greatly exceed the
of $500 000 and intelligent say all we could posi-
bly, make by this costly experiment would be incur the
laughter of the world for folly in build
Ing such great useless unwiedly monster.
Some thirteen fourteen years since the Pennsyva-
MIA was launched from the Navy Yard of PHILADELPHIA
and since that time she has lain rottng in the arbor of
Norfolk kink of floating Lararetto type of the
extravaganza which has characterized navy system
and which, administered has been disgraceul and op-
probrous country. We hope that Congress will
promptly reject the proposed expenditure and let
and packets carrthe goods which may be des-
tined for the Fair If Naval officers frolic let
them enjoy it at the expehseo their own salaries and
not wiring from the public teasury.-BGt. Republi-

tistical tables as will show the ratio of increase
Sd. An appendix, containing biographical sketches
of ministers and prominent layman, who have
died in this State.
To fill out this plan | shall need the assistance
of every church in the State. Files of the Min
utes of every Association newspaper notices of
ministerial character; accounts of revivals; bio
graphical notes anecdotes; registers of debates
and fragments of history are all desed. | beg
