this is pretty large sum of money. And
this is the beginning of a government that
preached economy and retrenchment. and
talked morally and wisely about waste and
extravaganza. The question just now is.
who has got the money?
We know. of course, wellenough where
portions of it have gone; hcing we'll aware
of the sums required by the terrible Mormon
war. and the secret espionage service. and

some thirty odd millions to be accounted

should hurry up the figures. and let US know

to do with with one hundred millions OF

Ex,rasasance Of the Administrator.

BY all honest men the present Admins
tration IS admitted to surpass every for
mer one, in the reckless profuseness with
which it has squandered the funds of the
people. Beginning with surplus in the
Treasury of more than twenty millions.
within the first fiscal year treasury notes to
the amount. of twenty millions are issued,
and a loan of twenty millions is authorized.
In addition to all this. the prospect is that
this unheard of expenditure. sinking us
into debt at the rate of forty millions per
annum, will be increased during the coming
year. The figures which convict the ad-
ministration of this waste cannot be de
MEL The Democratic party are forced TO
a,lmit the facts. The only defense which
they can make is, that Congress passed
the bills authorizing these expenditures.
They even say that some Republicans vo-
ted for them.
Now it always seemed to us that party
is driven to desperate straits when it can
only defend itself by duplicating others,
when instead of excul pating or iustifying
itself it can only attempt to silence accu-
sa;ions 10y saying to the accuscrs 'you are
as bal a. Nc" This is the mode adopted
BY the defenders of the present Alminis-
tra,Ion. r-
Bat the charge is not true. The Repub-
licans have as a boly voted against these
appropriations. For SO doing the Demo
cratic press again and again denounce,l
them for stopping the wheels OF govern
ment" They were called fac.ious am
a:cnsei of crippling the government FOL
mere partizsn purposes. And now tht
same papers stultify themselves and Civ,
the lie TO their former assertions, by charg
in.s tn, Republicans with having voted for
these very appropriations.
The mere loss of the money which j.
this squan,lcgei is but small portion al
tn, mischief done. Our country is ricl
cnoagh to flourish although drained of
hundred millions each year. But no na
ton is rich enough to secure prosperity
/ while fostering at her very heart crowds o
dishonest and reckless men, While sup
porting hosts of vultures upon her life's
blood. she can not prosper.

The Seventa District.

Hon. John G. Davis has announced him
himself as an independent anti Lecompton
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Seventh District The convention that
nominated Mr.. Secrest, by an effort at Jug
glery, refused TO endorse the course of Mr..
Davis in Congress. and the step now taken
by MIR. ID is one which will give the peo-
pie an opportunity of saying whether or
not they will approve ofhis acts and votes
and his present position on the administra-
ton and Kansas affairs in preference to
giving an endorsement at the ballot box of
the Grcen-English bill-the most odious
feature of Lecomptonism--in which Mr..
Sccrest "acquiesccs." We hope to see Mr..
Davis elected, and the administration re-
buked by vote against il so large that il.

one majority, and Chase defeated only
by about 35 majority. The reports Of

Township OGcers.-.-Thc Justices of
the Peace for this Township for the en-
suing year are John Anderson, Esq. re-
elected, and E. w. Smith. Anderson
is by common consent allowed to be the
best justice we have ever had in the
township, if that would be saying any
thing in his favor. He is one of those
men who have positive opinions and
dares express them on the bench or off.
The people of this place derive consid-
cradle consolation from his election.
E. W. Smith is a young man of little
experience in the business he is about to
engage II, but we are assured he is not
without qualifications for the office. Be-
sides misfortunes in common with the
rest of our citizens he has been render
ed unable to perform hard labor by an
amputation not long since. and we are
glad the people appreciate him and his
condition.
US. Gregory and ]. B. Gray were
elected Constables without opposition.
Better material, we do not hazard any
thing in saying, cannot be found in the
county. Both have seen much service in
connection with that office.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PRESS.
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. Sd, 1858

The RESULT. - The contest is over
and we can now take a calm survey of
the field of battle. Perhaps it may not
be satisfactory survey, but it is not a
diseouraging one, or reminding US of an
inglorious defeat. 1t is true the Office
holders have triumphed again and car
ried off nearly all the spoil, yet it was
doue against gallant resistance worthy
by right and valor of better success.
The Administration has carried this
county by considerable average ma
jolity. With the exception Of two Su-
pervisors the entire Anti-Lecompton
ticket is defeated, \ few Justices and
Constables who have not bowed the
knee to Baal, owing to local causes are
elected also. Beyond this the victory
to the people has proven left-handed
affair.
Strong hopes were entertained till a
very late hour that Chase was re-elec-
ted to the Sc ate, which he returns grad
uaily dissipated. Still later the belief
was confidently expressed that Belden
having two opponents in the field
against him, would come out ahead
Even this proved fallacious. 1t was a
clean sweep in the county at large and
we are inclined to think the State has
gone in like manner. The figures are
given as far as possible in another col
umn.

The ElectiOn---Its Features,

There is a remarkable feature in eve.
~ election, distinguished especially in
the one of last Wednesday. Men of
standing and respectability as the world
goes, made themselves busy during the
day obtaining votes for candidates for
public trust whom they would not loan
the money to pay weeks beard. 1t is
queer kind of morality and patriotism
which permits of men being promoted to
take charge of the affairs of the public
who cannot be trusted in private affairs.
This kind of public virtue was conspicu-
Gus at the election. We opine there
was time when such virtue was not es-
timated at above its value in this repub-
lie, and if we mistake not there is a latent
spark of public morality somewhere ex-
isting among the people still. The prac-
lice of returning political favors for SER
vices rendered is prevailing to an alarm
ing degree. You were assisted last year
by hired hummer, and that mobile,
grateful and magnanimous" soul of yours
can not bear the thought of refusing t o
assist him with like favor in this. Your
purse is left at home where it will be
safe while you associate with him, but
you invest your self-respect in game
to swindle your country with him. Po-
ltical gratitude should be nicely direc-
ted.
