AN ECONOMICAL OFFICER.

We find the subjoined article in the Washing
ton Star, of the 1h inSi. The great reduc-
ton in the expenditures of the Department over
which GEN. Bowman presides, is no more than
what was expected by all who are acquainted
with the man and know his strict honesty and
whole-souled devotion 10 the interests Of his
country. Will the slanderers Of he National
Administration, tell the people Of this instance
of economy in one of the most important De-
partmentS Of that Administration, aud thus
show that they have some fairness in their COM
position, or will they continue TO give but one
side of the picture, in their Customary style Of
caricature and exaggeration We shall see.
PROPOSALS FOR GOVERNMENT PArrR-The
Superintendent of Public Printing. Geo ".
Bowman, ESQ.,, on Wednesday declared the cJn-
tracts for supplying Government with paper
for The ensuing year.
Al the contract price for 1853, there was a
saving to the Government of SI2,775 90 a.
bout six per cent over the previous contract.
The present contract prices give saving TO
the Treasury of $35, 500 33 about twelve per
cent, over the contract of last year for The
same amount OF paper, showing in two years a
saving TO Government Of $3S,464 SO under
the contracts awarded by the present suoernten-
dent. This great saving, rejecting vast credit
upon Mr.. Bowman, is, we apprehend, not the
only instance in which he has been able TO re-
duce Government expenditures in his depart
ment.
The samples upon which the contracts were
awarded, are, we are told, Of very igh grade,
superior, as whole, 10 any paper ever furnish
ed the Government.

--Congress has, as yet, done nothing OF impor-
lance In the House, shortly after the meeting Of
Congress, MR. DEwARr (DemocraD ofPennsylvania,

Oregon is ready for admission into the Union.
She comes with free constitution. The Demo
Gratis Congress in favo of admitting her, and
the Black Republicans determined to keep her
cut. The reason oil this conduct the part OF the
latter, is that Oregon is Democratic, ard ii admit

in 1850.
At late election for Mayor, in the city OF
Manchester, New Hampshire, the Democrats elected

been beaten for Mayor, in Boston.

Shipments from whole Cumberland region

From this it will appear, that the Broad Top
coal-feld, in lis infancy, yields one fourth as
much coal for shipment as the whole Cumber-
land region, which has been operated for
years. We venture to predict that before four
years shall have elapsed, the coal tonnage will
be greater from Broad Top than from Cumber-
land. Cumberland must look well 10 her
operations.

CoUNTERFElTs.-We happened to notice in
the hands Of an individual last week, three ten
dollar counterfeit bills on the Chambersburg
Bank. these notes are very good imitation
OF the genuine bills, and very well calculated
TO deceive any one who is not a good Judge Of
paper money. The notes had an old appearance
and the signatures of Messrs. Lesy and Cul-
bertson were correctly spelled and pretty accu-
rately copied. Our country merchants. and
even some of our town merchants have been
"suck" by this counter felt. The best plan for
those who are not very expert in detecting
counterfeis, is TO compare all the notes of this
description with one that they know TO be gen.
uine and the deception will at once be apparent.

From WashiDgt on. Difficulty between Con
greSSmen English and Montgomery, sc,

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 18.-A difficulty
occurred this morning between CongreSsmen
Eng Gllsh, OF Indiana, and Montgomery, OF Penn
sylvania, on Pennsylvania Avenue. The two
members of Congress happened 10 meet for the
hrst time IN this session, when Mr.. English,
extending his hand, said, "How are YOU, Mr..
Montgomery?" Mr.. Montgomery Withheld his
hand and uttered insulting expressions like 81
don't speak 10 puppies !" whereupon Mr.. Eng
llsh struck him severely over the head breaking
his cane to pieces by the blow, and knocking
Montgomery into the gutter, but not entire
down Montgomery, on rising, hurled brick
at English, striking him on the boot, but did no
injury TO him Mr.. English states to his friends
that he was entirely unarmed, and was not a.
ware that Mr.. Montgomery had any iIl feeling
towards him up to the time of the rencontre.- -
Alr. Montgomery as to strength and size, is su-
Perlor to MIR. English.
AT HoME.-The Hon. Wilson Reilly was
called from Washington, last week, on account
OF the llnesSs OF his daughter, which it was sup
posed was about to terminate fatally. This
young and accomplished lady met with a dis
tTessing accident at Washington last winter, by
her clothes taking FIRE and severely burning her
person, and from the effects of which she has
been suffering ever since. Her system is de-
brlltated to the last degree of prostration, and
her life has been despared OF for some time past.
We are reloiced to learn that some sl ght inn
proVement has taken place in her condition with
IN the last few days, and we trust it may go on
until she Is once more restored 10 her family and
society, of which she was bright ornament

THE STATE DEBT.

We publish an article on the first page Of
this paper, taken from the Harrisburg Patriot
and Union, from which our readers will learn
that our State finances are in prosperous con-
dtioD, and that under the present administration
Of affairs at Harrisburg, there is hope that a
considerable amount of the State debt will ere
long be cancelled. The Auditor Generals Re-
port shows the Receipts and Expenditures for
the year just closed, 10 have been as follows:
Receipts for 1853, $4,l39, ,778.35
Expenditures for 1858, 3,775,S57. .06
Excess of Receipts $363, 80
Such is the result OF the first year of Demo
cratic Administration. The Receipts and Ex-
penditures OF the last year OF Pollock'S lOpposi-
tIoni Administration, stood,
Receipts for 1897, $1,000, ,587.S4
Expenditures for 1857, 5,I07, ,276. 10
Excess OF Expenditures 7I6.6S8 95
Hence, we perceive that under a Democratic
Administration, the State government is carried
on, with surplus in the Treasury, at the end
of the fTst year, Of three hundred and Sirty
three housand, nine hundred and iWenty one
dollars, whilst under an Opposition Administra-
tlon, it cost Seuen Hundred and Sirteen thou
sand, sir hundred and eighty eight dollars
more than was received into the Treasury, TO
carry on the government Besides, the
Democratic Legislature Of 1857, lowered the
taxes considerably, which would naturally les
sen the revenue OF the State. The people can
judge from this, 10 what party they must look
for iudicious and economical government.
