Estimates and Government
tai Extravaganza.

Mr. TooNBa, of Georgia, we presume will
be regarded by Democrats generally "a good
Democratic authority. Well, IN the Senate
of the United States, on the 9th inst, in
speech in opposition to the resolution intro
duced by another Democrat, (Mr. RIGLER, of
Pennsylvania,) providing for revision of
the tariff on the tariff on theprinciple re-
commended 10y the Prcsident-Mr. TooMBs.
in opposing that resolution, charged that
the estimates OF the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury were "fallacious." He said:
Estimates assume that every dollar of APP
preparations, not only Of the present. hut past
wears, will be required for the fiscal years
1859 aud 1860. lie showed that the estimates
,eere framed 10 eTiJa deficiency for il is impos-
sible that all these appropriations can be laid
out within one year. Yet. further, to 10 force
a deficiency. the public lands were not offered
a. il was the duty of Government to offer
them for sale. Had the proceeds OF seventy
or eighty millions Of acres of surveyed lands
been brought into the Treasury. there would
not have been one dollar of deficiency. Were
the Postcfice expenditures reduced within
proper limits there would be no deficiency,
hut instead of these rctrenchments, the expen-
are swellcd into extravaganza To create a
deficiency in the estimates of 1860, which il
said to be Inevitable.
The Senator from Pennsylvania says the
Government is in distress from shortness Of re-
venue. and he proceeds TO remedy il by put
ting on new burdens. by bringing up the re-
venue to the expenditures. Now, he. Mr..
Toombs. wanted TO bring the expenditures
down to the revenue. Both the Legislative
and Executive branches hare departed from the
orta,,al truck and bv their action haze fostered these
oorrilpt erfrovag'D.eiss, in the army, navy, and
the departments.
Fronting the estimates with a view to
exhibit deficiency The public lands not
brought into market in order to force a def
cheney! These are serious charges to come
from Ds7nocratic Senator.
Further: Mr.. TooABs, as It viii be seen,

branches of the Government have departed

The London Times on the Continent
tai question.

We may now venture to hope that the
principal danger of an European war; has
for the present passed away. 1t would be
well if we could say. that, after the blowing
over of this stOrm-cloud. the world might
Indulge in visions of permanent calm and
sunshine; but forces which threaten the dis
turbance of European quiet still exist, and
are only for time compressed by the weight
of universal opinion. There is. however.
satisfaction TO be mingled with regret with
which mankind must see the enthrOnement
of an armed and restless despOtism in Europe.
1t will appear to any oRr who has watched
the course Of these events, that after all there
is moral power not wholly unable To cope
with Emperors and Kings. The decided and
unwavering conservatism of the English gov
eminent and press has, it is admitted on all
hands, been chiefly instrumental in checking
the madness of the Bonaparte clique.
Austria has received support on which
she hardly counted, and France has been met
with a resolution which her rulers deemed
wholly impossible.
We sincerely trust that the formre of these
powers will appreciate the behavior of a ma
ton which bears no good will To ultramon-
tame absolutism; that Francis Joseph will re-
cOguize that after all free people may be a
better ally than any dear brother of the i'm
perial class and that he will endeavor to re-
STORE III HIS uOIlluiOHS int
which distinguished the old German empire,
in place of that military oppression which his
family have learned from the Roman officers.
AS for the French people, we congratulate
them on the clearness with which they have
seen that their advantage in this case coinc-
ded with the claims ofjustice.
They have not wanted organs to assure
them that England was too much exhausted
by her Indian wars to think of cOntravening
the schemes of France. and that even if the
Queens government desired to interfere, the
English liberals would check any Italian po-
licv. They have now been undeceived, and
for the sake of all parties TO this dispute, for
the sake of France and Italy most of all, we
rejoice that the common sense of mankind has
won the day.
The war scarcely invoked would, probably,
in six months have made combination
against France as formidable as that of 1915.
Italy, in any case. could only gain change OF
masters, and substitute the King stork of a
French vicerny, for King log of an ordinary
Australian Arch Duke. Now, we are happy
to believe there is no danger; but from the
folly of the Sardinians. who having long
kept up an army entirely disproportionate to
the extent and wealth of their kingdom. have
looked to war escape from financial
difficulties. which otherwise threaten TO over
TAX them. Unless these, however, in sheer
desperation break peace, we have no doubt
that the danger is, for the present, over.

beautiful exempliRcation of democratic har-l
mony. Within three weeks and day or two
of the constitutional limit of this democratic
Congress; with all the larger appropriation
bills still to be considered; with treasury de-
6ciencies of ten fiffeon or twenty millions to
be provided for; with the Homestead bill pen
ding in the Senate, which win, il passed in
crease these deficiencies to the extent of three
or four millions, and with some prospect
before us of the passage of this bill, We find
powerful numerical democratic majority in
the House and in the Senate, upon the most
important recommendations of democratic
President, reduced 10 the impotency Of a
minority. And wherefore! Because of the
conflicting sectional and local cliques into
which this democratic party has been divided
by the despe rate devices of the various Con-
gressionai aspirants and managers Of the
party for the Presidential succession.
The Herald remembers that upon this tariff
question, in the Presidential canvass of 1874,
the Pennsylvania Democracy secured the vote
of that State to their ticket, as it was charged.
through their local battle cry of Polk,
DALLAS, and the tariff of 1912. The tariff
of 1876. however told a different story. and
having been carried by the casting vote OF
Mr. Vice President DALLAS in the Senate. the
act had doubtless its full effect in turning
over Pennsylvania to Gen. TAYLOR in l848."
The Herald significantly adds that, "as the
financial reyulson in 1887 resulted in a gem
eral coalition in 1910 against the Democracy
in power which swept the country like a
whirlwind, so now, from the revulsion in
1857. we have before us the accommodating ell
ements of a similar opposition coalition, and
9 similar result in 1870"
.At this crisis continues this most able
and influential organ, 81 aud with all these
contingencies staring them in the face, we
find the Southern Democratic leaders in both
Houses o. Congress cutting adrift from the
| Administration-their only basis OF party
| reunion-and boldly demanding of the pros
trate Democracy of Pennsylvania, upon a
revenue question, the sacrifice Of their most
important domestic interests to the Southern
policy of free trade. This test has never been
30 distinctly presented to them before but
now. from the manner in which the Pennsyl-
vania Representatives of both Houses have
met the issue, there can hardly be doubt
that the last link IL broken which has here
tofore bound them 10 tue controlling Southern
wing of the party"
