Whig Economy and Honesty.

The National Intelligencer, of last week
contains the important announcement that
the accounts of the last fiscal year are
made up and that the expenditure had
been reduced to s45. $50 900; and of this
sum S ,S67 ,639 was for redemption of
the public debt. The amount of expen-
diture last year was $48, ,OO5, 900, of which
only 1921 PCS was for redemption of pub
lie debt. The reduction of the actual or
dinary expenditure of the year ending
June 30, 1852, compared with that of
1851, has been s3,6O1 900. Since the
present administration came into power
there has been redeemed of the public
debt s12, 900, 600, due to Mexico, as the
balance of the indemnity for California,
and s3,25O,OOO due the American eiti-
zens under the treaty with the Govern
ment for spoilations. Upon that portion
ofthe debt, so extinguished, there has been
paid 81 900, 900 in interest, equal to near
ly $500, 900 per annum, which will now
no longer require to be paid. And upon
the entire debt left by Mr.. Polk and his
Democratic supporters and allies, their
has been paid during the same time, Sl4-
1000 of interest. The surplus in the
Treasury is now just equal to the amount
of debt extinguished and if the laws un-
der which the Democratic borrowers sad
died this debt upon the country admitted
of it, that sum could be Immediately ap-
piled to its extinction, and we should next
year have to pay 5000 900 less of inter
est than we shall be compelled to pay un-
der the operation of those laws.
This luminous expose also shows that
SlO,954 900 of last years disbursements
consisted ofexpenses directly growing out
of the Mexican war, and left as momen-
to by our lamented Democratic rulers
In addition to this sum, it is made to aP-
pear that S907 900 of the aggregate eG-
penditure consisted of items which formed
no part of the annual expense of Govern
ment during Mr.. Polk term of office, and
which are the consequences of meas
ures forced upon the country by HIM
and his adherents. The deduction OF
these extraordinary charges reduces the
current unavoidable expenses of the Gov
ernmcnt, for which this administration IS
responsible, to S2s, s,343,965. This IS a.
bout what they would have been had the
Government been in Wing hands since
1914, and what they will be, at the pres
ent rate of reduction, if Gen. SC0FT Dc
elected. The choice between Gen Scott
and Gen. Pierce therefore would seem to
be between a taxation ofttoenty-eagW and
one of t0yty-eigH millions year.

large and most spirited meeting of the
Germans of Lick Run Zone of the western

Peter Hezh was chosen President, and

After able speeches from Messrs. Reh-

The substance of one of the resolutions
is, that the Germans of that portion of
the city will at the ensuing election, vote
the Wing ticket. The reason for this
course are given. Disguised with the Sc
cret cabals of the Miami Tribe, with the
hypocrisy and doubled dealing of the
leading politicians of the self stSed Dem
ocratic party, they look upon the Whig
party as the party of progress, as the lib
eral and truly Republican Democratic
party of the nation.

On Sunday following, the grounds
of the cemetery were, as usual,
much thronged with visitors: and,
about noon, an immense excitement
was created by the declaration Of a
peasant that, while he was sitting
upon the grave Of the officer, he
had distinctly felt commoiion Of
the earth, as IL occasioned BY some
one struggling beneath. At first,
little attention was paid TO the mans
ssseveralion, but his evident terror,
and the dogged obstinacy with which
he persisted in his story, had at
length their nstural effect upon the
crowd. Spades were hurFiedIy pro-
cured. and the grave, which was
shamefully shallow, was IN a few
minutes, so far thrown open that
the head of its occupant appeared.
He was then seemingly dead; but he
sat nearly erect in his coffin, the lid
of which, in his furious struggles, he
had partially uPlilted. He was
forthwith conveyed 10 the nearest
hospital. and there pronounced 10 be
still living, although in. an aspytic
condition.
After some hours he revived, re-
cognized individuals o. his acquaint.
ance, and, in broken sentences. spoke
of his agonies in the grave. From
what he related, il was clear that he
must have been conscious OF lie for
more than an hour while inhnmed,
before lapsing into insensibilily.-
The grave was carelessly and loosely
filed with loose, porous soil; and
thus some air WIS necessarily admit
ted. He heard the footsteps of The
crowd overhead, and endeavored to
make himself heard in turn. 1t was
the tumult within the grounds o.:
the cemetery, he said, which ap-
peared to awaken him from a deep
sleep; but no sooner was he awake
than he became fully aware OF the
awful horrors of bis position.

following statement Of the difficulty
between Messrs. Byers and Casey at
Maysville:
1t appears that an old grudge ex
isted between Jas.-Casey, son of Mr..
J. B. Casey, of Newport, and Mr..
Byers. editor Of The Maysvile Eagle,
having its origin in an offensive note
which had been written by the for
mer to the sister OF the latter. We
understand, however, that an apollo
gy had been offered which was not
accepted, aid that challenge TO a
duel had been sent by Mr.. Byers,
but was declined by Mr.. Casey. All

On Saturday last Mr.. Casey visit
ed Maysville, but, fearing an attack,
remained at his rooms in the God
dard House during the whole oI Sun
day. On Monday morning he had
taken passage for home, when he
was confronted in the cabin by Mr..
Byers and a friend. After some
conversation between the latter and
Mr.. Casey, and just at the moment
the boat was leaving shore, which
probably FASTENED the wretched de-
noument, Mr.. Byers seized Mr.. C..
by the throat, who Immediately drew
a revolver and fired three bullets
two of which took effect near the
heart of the unfortunate Byers and
resulted in death few hours after
ward.
Mr.. B. also held pistol, but was
unable TO manage the trigger in time

The following is from the proceedings
Of the House on the Gath. Mr.. Polk
is noted bTackguard, som Fennessee
He seems 10 have started the difficulty
for no other purpose than 10 abuse his
betIers:
On motion of Mr.. Polk, the House
went into Committee Of the Whole on
the state of the Union, and resumed the
consideration Of the bill making appro-
priations for lighthouses, lighiboats,
buoys, &C., and providing for the erec.
ton and establishment Of the same, and
for other purposes.
Mr.. Polk addressed the committee an
hour on political subjects. In the course
of his remarks highly personal alter
cation occurred between Messrs. Polk,
Cullom, and White, OF Kentucky, grow
ing out OF imputations by Mr.. Polk
against the two gentlemen named.
Mr.. Pol said that when his colleague
(Mr. CuIlom) made the assertion in the
City Hall Square of Washington. that
Franklin Pierce or his morse tainted, he
lied.
The Chairman reminded the gentle
man that such remarks were out Of Or
der.
Mr.. Cullom. When my colleague in.
sinuates that made false representa-
ton, he is liar.
Mr.. Polk | would ask some friend
of the gentleman TO come tc me.
= Mr. Cullom. That is what ! say.
Mr.. Polk went on TO argue for some
time against the fitness Of Gen. Scott
for the Office OF President. in the course
of which he charged that there was an
understanding between that officer and
Gen. Sahta Anna, during the Mexican
war.
Mr.. White, of Kentucky. arose, say
ing he understood The gentleman 10 give
General Worth as the authority for an
understanding between General Scot.
and Santa Anna.
Mr.. Polk said he would encounter all
the hazard Of saying it was so.
Mr.. White inquired whether the gen.
tleman could produce TO other proof
than by going to the graveyard.
Mr.. Polk repeated what he said was
correct, and he could prove 1t.
Mr.. White then called for the proof.
Mr.. Polk would say, in answer TO the
gentleman, that.his purpose was not TO
engage in any personal controversy
He had learned that the gentleman had
been pitted to assaiI him; and therefore
he would say TO the gentleman that he
understood the rules which govern hon
or in their respective sections, and when
he (Mr. W. asked, he (Mr P.) woul !

consianCy in affection came to our
ears a dav or two since, Of which
we connot forbear making note. A
son OF Erin, who has been absent
from the "home OF his fathers" lor

from Butler county, and met in this
city the "lady OF his love" TO whom
he had pledged his affections in early
youth. Three thousand miles oi
water had not dampened the ardor
of his attachment, and Immediately
upon their meeting he renewed the
offer OF his hearts treasures. The
proposal was accepted, and soon the
twain were made one by the "silken
tie that binds two willing hearts" ="
Their heads were becoming whitened
by The frosts Of time, but yet they
remained true 10 each other.-
Though far, far asunder, heart an
swered unto heart, ard the clInging
affection but ripened with The lapsing
