the bottom of the matter, many of our

Next to the Tribune, it is most extensively

it is the National organ south, as the Tri-

LUXURY OF THE ANcIENTs IN RosEs.
To enjoy the scent of roses at meals, an
abundance OF rose-leaves was shaken out
upon the table so that the dishes were com
pletley surrounded. By an artificial contri-
vance, roses during meals deccnded from
above. Heliogabalus, in his folly, caused
violets and roses to be showered down up-
on his guestsln such quantities, that num-
Der of them, being unable to extricate
themselves, were sufocated in flowers.
During meal times. they reclined upon
cushions stuffed withroso leaves, or made
couch of the leaves themselves. The
floor, too, was strewed with roses, and in
this custom great luxury was displayed.
Cleopatra, at an enormous expense, pro-
cured roses for a feast which she gave to
Anthony, had them laid two cubits thick on
the floor of the banquet room, and then
caused nets to be spread over the flowers.
in order to render the footing elastic. He
liogabalus caused not only the banquet
rooms, but also the colonades thet led to
them, to be covered with roses interspersed
with lilies, voilets, haycinths and narcissi
and walked about on this fiowerv platform

APPOINTMENTS BY THE GOVERNOR, VoID.
Judge Creaner has decided the removal
of DIR. Reid, and the appointment of DR..
Langdon, Resident Physician to the State
Lunatic Asylum, illegal. 1t will be re-
collected that we held the Governor had
no power under the Constitution and laws,
to remove DR.. Reid and the other officers
of the Asylum, in an article of ours some
six weeks since. In SO doing we were not
harping to the same tune with the other

EXTRAvAGANCE OF THE ADMINISTRA-
rIoN.-A letter writer from Washington
to the N. Y. Mirror, says: cath gh un-
fortunate foreign and domestic appoint
ments will be made the subject of stump
denunciation of the Administration in the
coming campaign, there is a more serious
matter, involving long columns of dollars
and cents. All remember with what fatal
effect these monetary accusers were once
marshalled by Ogle, but his "gold-spoon"
developments were nothing to some of the
military expenditures of Mr.. Secretary
Davis. Many of them are cunningly scat
tered about, under various DISCUSSES; but
in almost every case there is abundant ev-
idence of lavish expenditure, regardless of
the estimates and appropriations.
The new Capitol Dome is striking 9
proof of this "brass coat and blue button .
defiant extravaganza. Last year just as
the session closed, appropriations of a hun
dred thousand dollars was hurried through
for the purpose of erecting new and
higher dome to the Capitol. The old
"upset wash-bowl" did look rather squat
ty, so the cash was voted, and by some
hook or crook, the work went into the
hands of Typographical" already hav-
ing more work than FIVE engineers should
take charge of. Down came the old dome
up went temporary one-and 80 the cash
was spent. Orders were given right and
left, estimates were made, appropriations
were asked. "How much will it cost?n
asked some Of those who prefer "civil'' to
military" expenditure. And now it ap-
pears that according to present estimates,
the cost of the new dome will be nine hun
dred and forty-fve thousand dollars =
Economical men swear "right out in meet
ing," and VOW that they will have the old
dome restored, but never sanction such
reckless extravaganza
This applies to the Capitol extension.
American painters and sculptors are never
applied to, or even advertised for, but the
"otticer in charge" sets foreigners at work,
and the original estimates, when compared
with the actual bills, will show a wide diff
ference. The expenditures made by land
under the direction of the War Depart
ment, during the present administration,
are indeed enormous, and will COM
MAND the attention of the American
people, the moment they are made known
In the Navy, the expenditure of public
money is not only less extravagant, but le-
gltimate. This branch Of service was
pretty thoroughly overhauled in Secretary
Bancroft's day, and the officers do not
seek to win Immortality by superintend-
ing work with which they have no busi-
ness. There are some curious items in
the Navy bills, however, such as forage
for the horses of certain officers of Ma
rines, who do not ever have occasion to
appear mounted, and only wear spurs at
Presidents reception.

Mexico gives promise at last of having
a man at the head of its affairs, capable
of subjecting its mixed and miserable pop
ulation, and regenerating the republic, if
that is possible. Comonfort in his sup
preston of the Haro insurrection, has
shown the highest qualities of leadership.
Haro had some of the best drilled soldiers
in the country, and was supported by the
priesthood of Puebla, with all their means;
but when he surrendered, there were two
things done that must be done in all Mex
leo, to give it the least chance of redemp-
ton. All the generals and other officers
OF the rebel army were at once reduced
to serve as common soldiers, or driven in
to exile, which was blow struck at the
military power which curses the republic,
heavier than it ever received before
Then in the attack, he had no respect for
religion when it was in rebellion. He
threw his bomshells into the holy cathe-
dral which tradition informs us was in part
built by angels, for in proportion as the
workmen built its walls in the ay-time,
in the same proportion did the angels
build their walls in the night-as though
it had been nothing but barn; and as
crowning act con6scated church propert,
to the amount of $40, 1000, 900 to pay the
expenses of the war, and pension the wild
ows, orphans and wounded.
The New Orleans Picayune truly says,
this is the most important act in the histo-
ry of Mexico. 1t has killed the priest
hood in one State, and he will serve the
others the same as fas. as they give occa-
sion. IfComonfort can crush the soldiery,
and crush the priests, he may do some
thing for liberal government; but while
they live, freedom dies. The people who
fear and tremble beneath the oppression
of these two evils, are rejoiced at his
prompt and decisive action.
