Government E1Penses.

We give in another column table OF the expend-
itures Of the last and present Ccngress1 We have
been unable to find in the Journals of Congress one
single extrszsgant appropriation which the Opposi-
zion did not carry through, contrary to The wishes
and vote Of the Democracy. Weinvite the admirers
Of BELL or SEwARD. who hope to reform the govern
lnsns and rstrench The expenditures By placing one
Of them In The Presidency, to select the item from
the list which they regard as most Odioas and ex-
traysgant, and Ne viii venture the assertion that
neither Of these gentlemen nor the body Of their
political friends can be found voting against such
appropriation. And yet they are the men who are
to bring about wholesome reforms and practice
eeonOmy in the ADMINISTRATION Of public affairs
God save the mark! When BELL and SEWARD
preach economy the treasury IS certainly in danger
for rOgues always put on an honest face when they
mean to steal Let the country beware Of Them
and their friends

A Smart Spell.

A gentleman in North Chester, Yer
mont, two or three weeks since, offered
as prize a copy of Webster's Uuabrid-
gsd Dictionary to one of the scholars in
all the public schools in town who should
"spell all the others down." Seven
schools wero accordingly represented, and
about dozen teachers and large crowd
of spectators we're present when the trial
took place on the 25tb ult. But one tri-
al was to be had on a word, and the uu-
fortunate who missed must take his OF
her seat. Eighty scholars contested for
the honor and the prize. and after five
hours trial, five pupils remained standing
aud the enthusiastic audience soon raised
the needful to purchase each copy oI
the great Unabridged.
