Among TIE long list Of expenditures Of the late Demo

ana Journal, evidence of the extravagance and
corruption Of that Legislature, we see but one item
which think it will be difficult for Democratic men,

clip from the Journal of yesterday:

Clerks, nes'engers and dOOr-keepers certainly were
necessary. Defrees is bound to admit that; but what
excnse Democrats give for paying that amount for
Wing newspapers especially such papers as the Indiana
