|, fBy some mistake, number Of the Ka-

fell into my hands, and 4 was surprised
1t the coarseness Of some articles which
appeared therein. I will FIRST allude 10
the communication signed ..Sculpt.n aud

''Sculpt' knows. The democracy Of the

cry county. instructed their delegates for

acclamation, and the members who com
posed that convention were as good men
As the opposition dare to produce.
!" Scnlpt,n however, is not content With
bis yenomous shaft against Mr. jenkins,
be must assail the Federal Court, and
those attending the Court. + cannot
perceive how Newton allowed reference
to the hangers on the Federal Court 10 be
published when he, in. conjunction with
his brothers Of the holy order8of Know
Nothings done his best to spunge as ~
federal Juror. with 50 4 day and mileage
ID order to initiate the unwary ID the dark
lantern concerns. " Sculpt" seems to
be well acquainted with the customs Of
those attending federal Courts. and no
doubt he and father Newton, during Tay-
lor and Fillmore's administration. feasted
% tkeir satisfaction, at the expense ofIthe
federal government.
! also call your attention to an article
in the ed column, in relation to Mr.. New
man, the senatorial elector Of fyonr dis
trict; Mr. Newman and thousands oil
democrats opposed Letcher's nomination;
while Newton, and almost the entire OPP
position press advocated the claims Of
John Letcher. Endorsed BY large ma
jority Of the Democracy Of Virginia, and
nominated by the support OF the strong
est slave-holding counties IN the East, It
seems that Mr.. Letcher was the choice Of
the democracy, and as such heis entitled
to the support of his political friends -
Bntwith badgrace comes . charge against
Mr.. Letcher. for unsoundness, from the
hands Of Newton. or any other member Of

The idea Is widely prevalent we even
entertained il ourselves--ihat the sxpend.
lures Of the federal government are Ia
creasing every year at an alarming rate,
and that they now amount u nearly i
hundred million Of dollars per annnna.
The fact is far different, IS We have as
certained on investigation. and are pre-.
pared to prove. The expenditures OF the
government fall an immense margin short
Of an hundred million. and are rapidly
decreasing instead Of increasing, each
year.
We shall make q statement Of the facts
pf the subject, which will Be very brief
and perfectly conclusive,
The payments Of the treasury during
the fiscal year 857-8, were larger than
during the preceding year Of pesce.--
These payments were ordered and appros
priated for BY the Thirty-fourth. Con.
gress, at the session Of 1867 !; thepop-
nlar branch of which was controlled by
the Opposition. and was presided over by
Black Republican, Speaker.
4 The total payments out of the treasury
during the fiscal year 1853 Report on
Finance for 1888, p. so. were $751;.
585, 667 76 OF which aggregate the
sum Of S8 .684. 538 SO was paid IN The re.
