Economy,

II is perfectly astonishing how economical some
public officers get One would suppose that the
State would only require about pint of good
lard oil to grease its machinery for whole year
TO hear them talk and theorze And the beauty
Of the thing is to be found in 'he fact that they
always begin and always ond at the same place
We never knew National State County. or City
Officers 10 commence curaling expenses without
beginning by Topping of their printing or cutting
down the price of printing And we never knew
one of these authorities but what ended heil
reform with tho accomplishment of this ono thing
Strange as i, may seem TO some, we have never
known nm instance where Que of these economzers
were willing 10 cut down their own wages III
fact, they secm to look upon printing MS kind o
allowaJlc business--a necessary cvil--and upon
printers as a species Of public paupars, whose sup
port must be given to the lowest bidders
There has been u move made by the legislature
the design Of which il to cut down the printing
of tho laws We don't suppose tho legislature
will pass many laws that are good for anything
hut the people would nevertheless like TO know
what their clear, calm, strong, aud active rep
rescntatives have done, aud wo have no doubt but
they would like TO see such laws at least rs affect
them. We imagine some men will live quite long
enough TO learn that the press can do some things
hs well as others.

u,ccOl,pptOBl,

In the U. s. Senate there has been much dis
cussion relative to the adoption OF The Lecomp-
ton Constitution, during the past week. Sena'
tor Cri,tcuien, of Kentucky, made bold speech
against the swindle, which rather took his South
crn friends by surprise. Douglas has recovered
from his illness aud made most powerful speech
which was listened to by es large an audience
as ever assembled in the Senate Chamber Our
lite Senator Push has made speech and writ
ten several letters for Lecompton.
1t is believed by the N. Y Tribune, aud sever
al Washington correspondents, that the Lecomp'
ton Constitution cannot pass the House. we
only wish the facts could make us believe 1t vii
be defeated. Those who are now playing "cold
with the administration, appreciate BuchOnon'
position, aud arc determined to sell their votes
at the highest figures. We have no confidence
in wavering politicians, ond therefore will b
STOW to think tha, even few democratic mem
bars of Congress will desert the Slave Power un
Ill we see i, in black and white.

XVeucs of Hired Girls.

A young lady recently complained to us that
there was au effort being made to reduce the wages
Of kitchen help from 81 to 10 cents per week.
We know that mnny persons have been taught to
look upon hired girls os specie: Of humanity en-
tirely beneath that Of their employers, and they
seem 10 think il quite out Of plnce to have TO pay
them anything more than just enough old CLOTHES
to cover their nakedness, and give them such food
as they can scrape up from n "sccond table"
We ofton wonder how IL is that girls can clothe
themselves decenlly OIL 81 per week and do oil the
dirty work and drudgery which they must perform,
aud therefore regret that auy persons should be so
lost to those feelings Of humanity which are neces-
sary TO the general good MS TO seek TO reduce their
wages to 10 cents Some persons trea, bired girls
just as il they were destitute Of every noble and
generous feeling. and we have seen members Of the
church who were so anxious about their own souls
that they would not give their hired girls time TO
attend church We once knew minister 10 dis
charge "a German girl from his employ because she
was member of the German M L. Church and
would devote stated periods TO attendance upon
public worship. If theR is one class Of sinners
who are worse than all others, we believe it is
that portion of society who seem 10 delight in
grinding the poor.
Since the foregoing was in type, we have re-
ceived q well written communication from o
lady friend, on the Same subject, which will op.
pear in our next issue

Thc Legislature.

II win bo seen, by reference TO our interesting
Columbus letter, that the democrats find preach
ing aud practice two very different things, aud now
propose to have an extra session. Tho bill TO re-
peal the ten per cent interest law has been defeated
in the House SO tho Democracy arc the shaver'
best friends They still adhere to tho South and
dance to the music Of the slave drivers lash, as is
evidenced in their repeal Of the bill to prevent
Kidnapping, nnd also the habeas corpus act
They also appear 10 be determined to make little
democratic sovereign out Of bully Bachus, and to
restore the scalings TO the contractors. II is dit.
tfcut to tell what such corrupt body Of LcgiSla'
tive tools will not do.

Extravnyance--seem and Unseen.

That the women of our time are very txtravd-
CANT, is a fact which admits of no doubt, since
every person can see it in their dress every day,
and the newspapers tell us that some of them,
in the large Cities carry whole village fortunes
on their backs at single promenade.
But the exravagance Of women is nothing
when compared with that of the lords of creu-
tion.' 1t seems greater, but that is because il
is placed where il can be seen of all men, while
the extravaganza of masculinity, to great ex-
tent, at least, seeks concealment.
There are few men who do not 70 ,lshiy spend
from one to five dollars per week, even in small
country towns, and yet people scarcely observe
the fact, and the press, which is always ready
to speak of womens extravaganza, seldom alludes
to that of the men. The man who smokes,
chews, and takes "horn,' all of which is fool
ishly extravagant could not foot up his weekly
expenses at an average of less than three dollars
per week, and it will oftener reach five dollars.
At five dollars, he will expend in year $3.50,
but it is burnt up spit upon the ground, or drank,
and the public are not allowed to see the extent
OF his extravaganza. since they only see it in
little dribs.' Bull such man put two hun
dred and sixty dollars worth of clothes upon his
wife's back in year. over and above her neces
sary wearing apparel, and the whole neighbor
hood would be in blazs of excitement and in
dignation.
The exravugances Of women ale always de-
signed for the public eye, and are not totally
destitute of utility, while the extravagances o
men are only to crafty morbid appetite o
which they are ashamed aud consequent!
they are concealed from the public gaze
II they would buy their tobacco by the ton
their liquor by the cask and their numerous
etcetcras by yearly supplies, and would ara.
these in their front windows; with their wives
shawls bonnets, laces, &c, we have no doub
but the women would have more sympalh
than they now get The money which ma
thus foolishly squonders belongs to his wit
lust as much as 10 himself aud she has just q
much right to "cut dash" as he has to Gu
plug OF tobacco. smoke pipe, or drink
brandy smash.

Contcniptibly Mean.

We had hoped that the Democrat utter 'he
withdrawal of Munger, would assume degree
of respe reliability. to which il his hitherto been
stranger, as we understood tha, Mr.. Carr the
present ostensble editor, proiessed TO bc an up
right honorable young man, as all members oi

contains an article which disabuses our mind on
this subject, and to which we should have re-
piled last week. had we not been prevented by
a pressure of business. We allude to the fol-
lowing sentence, contained in long article
which has reference to our remarks on Dodgos
foolish letter;
"ie lDoigel actually is successor, in ca
pacity OF School Examiner, to one who, by his
impudeuce and ungentlemanly treatment OF ap-
plicants especially ladies', made himscl hateful
and hated from one end OF on. county TO the
