Startling Facts fR relation to the Expendi-

From the Ohio State Journal.

Startling Facts fn relation TO the ExPendl-
lures upon the State House.
Yesterday, Messrs. Edwin Smith, L. T.
Stickney and James J. Faran, Commission
ers of the new State House, transmitted a
report in answer to resolutions of the Senate,
asking them to report forthwith the author
ity under which they have made the con-
tracts for work and materials beyond the
sums appropriated by law; and also how
much work has actually been done, or ma
terials actually furnished beyond the amount
of said appropriations.
In response, the Commissioners say that
the contracts have been necessary to carry
out the intention of the law. The authority
it is claimed, was conferred by the act pass
ed March Is, 1852, as recorded in Curwen's
Statutes, page 1853, to provide for the moro
efficient and expeditions completion of the
new State House. We may examine this
subject hereafter. The Commissioners say
that this law does not limit them to the rev.
enue approprited, as did the law of 1916,
which was repealed by that of Sc, and no such
limitation imposed. They think no "prac-
teal, sound thinking mind would object their
proceedings because they did not in making
contracts, limit contractors to Just so much
as the appropriation in hand would pay fol" !"
In short it is contended that there is no lin
it to their authority, and that the contracts
are all for the best interests OF the State
There is no pretence of any regard to the
wishes of the people as expressed by the
Legislature, in the amounts of the appropri-
ations The Commissioners, with entire in
difference, go ahead and spend money with
out any regard to the wishes of the people
who are obliged to foot the bill. It is hop
that the hundred of thousands which they
have spent will be paid over as a matter of
course, and no grumbling. This strange
process of reasoning, but we have it here in
all its glory.
We now come to the actual amounts ex-
pended by these men beyond the appropri-
ations made by the Legislature at its last
session. We copy from this Report:

HOW THE PEOPLE ARE RORRED.

The scoundrel commissioners who have
had charge of the New State House, ought
to be sent to the Penitentiary. They have
gone beyond the appropriations, and ac-
knowledge that they have run the State in
debt more than three hundred thousand dol
larsl There is not doubt that large
part of this expenditure is sheer robbery of
the people. Fat contracts have been as
signed to favorites, who, no doubt, divided
the spoils with the commissioners. The
New State House when it was begun, vas
estimated to cost at most, two or three
hundred thousand dollars. 1t now appears
more likely to cost three millions Two
years ago the Legislature reluctantly ap-
ipropriated $4,000, and now we find that
after having spent this, these scOundrels of
commissioners have run the State in debt
three hundred thousand dollars more
We wish they could be sent to the Peniten-
tiary, and be obliged to work as conyicts on
the contracts they have let.
The Williams who have had the control of
the finances of Ohio for the last few years,
have bequeathed debt for the people to
pay of more than seven hundred thousand

Just before the time of the company's arrival,
Lady Melville sent into the drawing room a

ceive Lcrd Seaforth. Presently Lord Gull
ford entered the room and the lady, taking
him for Lord Seaforth, began to play her fin

NOTIONS OF BEAUTY.-The Japanese women
gild their teeth, the Indians paint them red,
whilst in Gazuret the pearl of the teeth, to be
beautiful, must be dyed black. The ladies of
Arabia stain their fingers and toes red, their
eyebrows black, and their lips blue. In Per-
sia, they paint black streak round the eyes,
and ornament their faces with various figures.
In Greenland, the women color their faces with
green aud yellow, whilst the hottentot women
paint in compartments of red and black. Hin
doc females, when desirous of appearing par
ticularly lovely, smear themselves with mix
ture of saffron and turmeric. In ancient Per-
STA, an aquiline nose was often thought worthy
of the crown, but the Sumatron mother care
fully fattens the nose OF her daughter.-Eas-
