upon the Treasury for the next fiscal year we're
TO run mp to the round rum of one hundred
millions The Mormons alone (includng the
expenses and Losses Of the present expedition
frozen up in the Rocky Mountains) before we
shall have settled our accounts with them, will
probably cost little bill of twenty-five or
thirty millions And then the present interest
ing condition OF Mexico, before the expiration
of another year may possibly involve us in
very large diplomatic or military expenses in
that quarter, to say nothing of the island of
Cuba.
We submit, therefore, that it becomes the
duty of Congress to retrench, for the present
az far as practicable, upon all things, and
especially upon all such grand jobs of
Lobby speculation as the Pacific Railroad.
An importation Of thousand or two
camels would in ten years most likely
be worth more to the country than dozen Pa
cifc railroads Certainly, from the great de-
sert wastes to be traversed by the Pacific Rail-
road by any route, North or South, before the
work is undertaken the camels should be first
provided for the transportation of the work
men, provisions, water and materials with a
view to the economical conduct Of the enter
prise. For these uses the camel is not only the
very animal wanted, but his employment thus
will establish new element of substantial
wealth in those otherwise uninhabitable desert
plains of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona Utah and
California.
Meantime there are some three or four Con-
gressional corruption investigation committees
at work; but as from their explorations we ex-
pect little or nothing Of any public benefit, We
must fall back upon the President as the only
reliable safeguard against the spoils and plum
der bills of the lobby. In this view we hope he
will not forget, should the occasion Offer to put
his foot upon patent bill or two introduced in
10 the House. 1t is his duty to protect the
Treasury and the people from the plumber job
hers who, in every shape and form, infest the
Capitol.
Finally, with Kansas and the Army bill
out Of the way, we trust that the chair
men on the appropriation bills of
Congress will insist upon the regular
appropriations. to the absolute exclusion Of all
extraneous matters, until those appropriations
shall have passed into the Presidents hands.
In this way syetem and order will be preserved,
and the rush, hurry, confusion and debaucheries
which have heretofore characterized the last
night of the session, long or short, and under
cover of which the lobby reaps its richest har-
vest of plumber, will all be avoided. The fnan-
cial excess of Van Buren's administration
brought down upon him and the democratic
party the tremendous political revolution of
1910; and If they do not take care a similar
cause Of popular Indignation is much more likely
to react upon the democracy in 1860 than any
thing which they may do, or may fail to do, in
regard to niggers in Kansas.

DESERVING CAsE.-Something should be
done for George b. Butler, who contrived on
Friday, by the most mperious combination of
coxcombry and obstinacy, to cast the most COM
plete ridicule on the anti-Lecompton movement
in this city. If man had been hired by the
job to kill of the movement he could not have
done IT more efiectually, more promptly, or more
thoroughly. MFR. George II. Butler should not
go unrewarded. Is there no place in the Gus
tom House which could be vacated for him ?
No foreign consulate? No snug berth at Wash
ingtons Surely some place could be found for
such signal desert as bis; if he goes unre-
warded one may well say that gratitude has
fed from the earth.

For FEMALEs.-It is a lamcntablG fact that
so large a number of females are afflicted with
Irregularities, either profusc or suppressed,
which rapidly and surely undermine their
health, shorten their lives, and ofttimes renders
them unfit for those duties in life for which an
all-wise Creator has formed them This state
of things need not exist when DR.. Wheating's
FEMALE REGULATING PILLS are so sure to bring
relief. They are composed of materials, harm

Gent in the highest degree in Graduating that
train Of diseases incident to the sex, Originate
ing from Irregularities. They are no Nostrum,
but claim for themselves virtues resulting from
the use Of those most valued remedies, prcscri-

or modern. Many females give way to despon-
dency, imagining themselves in a confirmed

commend these Pulls; believing if there is a

The GRAIN CEop OF EUROPE. -The
Boston Journal thus epitomises the in
formation respecting the European grain
crop of 1858, as derived from latest
English papers.
g In the countries bordering upon the
Mediterranean the crop is variously re-
ported, but upon the whole may be re-
garded as equal to, if not exceeding an
average. Spain and Portugal will not
require any supplies from other countries.
In Belgium and Holland there is an ave-
rage crop; while in the Baltic regions,
including northern Germany and west
ern Russia, the yield is below an aver
age, although high prices may induce
exports to some extent. In France there
is fair crop of wheat and rye, oats be-
ing inferior The cereal crop of Eng
land exceeds the average, and portion
of the extraordinary wheat yield of last
year still remains in the hands of farm
ers to be added to this years harvest
Other breadstqffs are somewhat under
the average. In ireland all kinds of
produce are abundant, compared with
recent years. The wheat crop of Scot
land is excellent, other crops being me-
dun, and possibly below. On the
whole, the United Kingdom will this
year require smaller imports of grain
than in ordinary seasons. The supply
ing power of Central Russia is not yet
determined"

A Boy MURDERER TO BE HuNG. This
morning. in the Supreme Court, James
Rodgers, the boy who murdered John
Swanston, in Tenth avenue, was ordered
to be executed on Friday, the 18th day
of November next. Rodgers had re-
spectacle connections living in the coun-
try, but coming to this city, be was soon
LED into evil courses. One night, while
engaged in drunken frolic with two of
his young associates, he met Mr.. Swans
ton, respectable old gentleman, walk
ing in the street with his wife, Some
of the party jostled against Mr.. Swans
ton, few words passed between them,
and Rodgers without more ado drew a
knife and stabbed the man, inficting a
mortal wound
For some time Rodgers eluded the Of
ficers of justice, but was finally captured,
tried in the General Sessions, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged His youth
and prcpossessing appearance excited a
great deal of sympathy, and no efforts
were spared to avert his impending fate.
The Governor was pctitioned for pardon,
but it was refused The highest legal
tribunal in the State has just passed sen
tence upon his case, the Executive Gle
mency has been denied him, and nothing
apparently remains for the unfortunate
young man but to prepare for the expia-
ton Of his crime on the scaffold. ~. y.

is well timbered, and a portion grown up
