Gayety in Washington.

Mrs. Lincoln is rapidly obtaining a
newspaper notoriety quite uuenviable.
In fact, almost every paper is dsnouncing
the unreasonable gayoty and heartless-
ness prevailing in the capital, at the
present time, in the bitterest terms. It
does seem rather strange proceedings
Tor city which is dependent upon bay-
onets for its continuance, and when the
nation is daily sinking deeper into hope
less debt, to be lavishing so much SUBJ
SAnee upon social parties. We should
not Judge that Mrs. Lincoln was fitted,
either by birth or education, for a leader
o. fashion, and, if she does appear to be
" now, she has been made the dupe of
%aul fatterers for the furtherance of
'Aer own selfish purposes.

Biennial Sessions.

The State Journal, in speaking of the
proposed change in our State constitu-
ton so as 10 provide for biennial sessions
Of the Legislature, makes the following
sensible suggestion
"a far better remedy for the evils in
tended to be reached by biennial sessions
would be an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for elscting Assemolymen
for two and Senators for four years, the
former to be chosen as Senators now are,
50 that one-half the members of the
lower house would always have the ben
EFT Of The experience of at least one
session. A very large proportion of TIE
evils of our present legislation arise from
the system of returning a new and
wholly inexperienced set of representa-
tlges every year. Then We would pay
them at least SIS per diem for the first
FORT days of the session, and not more
than one dollar per diem after the expi-
ration of that period. Forty days of
good earnest work will generally be am
pie to transact all necessary business, and
With such provision we should rarely
have q session to exceed that time"

The Government Expenditures.

Mr.. Sherman, of the Senate Finance
Committee, said last week -
'We cannot doubt that the amount of
appropriations necessary for the next fs-
cal year will be less than $55O,0O0,OOO.
Our annual appropriations will now be
four times the entire paper currency of
the country, and six times the expendi-
lures OF any previous year of our Gov
ernment since its foundaton-more than
Great Britain ever expended in her con-
test with Napoleon. When you add to
these sums the difficult amounts collect
ed for State, county and city taxes-for
the authorities which disburse all the in
ternai expenditures of the Government,
amounting to not less than $l50.OGO.OO
we have All aggregate expenditure for
one year of 100000, 900 per anuum !
The population of the loyal States, in
Guiding one-third of Virginia, is about
100000 souls; this would be an ex-
pendituro of more than $50 per head
The expenditure of Great Britain IS but
SO Sc per head. Her expenditure du-
ring the war with Napoleon, at the high
est rate. was but $40 per head, and no
nation has borne higher rate of taxa
ton; so that we are called upon for an
expenditure nearly double of that borne
by any nation in ancient or modern his
tory.

y = The ships purchased for
the expedition never could have stood a
storm at sea. Old freight boats from
Poughkecpsie and Albany were fitted up
as gunboats, painted black to look for
midable, and two of them. the Lancer
and Pioneer, carried five hundred troops
each. When in the trough of tie sea
they rolled tearfully, and a captain in the
navy, who was on board the Lancer,
stated that case of storm nothing could
prevent her from biging and going
down. The contractor who furnished
the water-casks for the expedition has
committed an outrage upon our soldiers
which should only entitle him to John
Browns fate. The casks used to put
water in were old whisky, kerosene oil,
and canphene barrels, furnished by the
union city of Baltimore. The suaerings
endured from this source were terrible;
men could not drink it, it was TOO nau-
seous. Another contract. Ice would
have been luxury to the, soldiers; it
was only IS ton. Water we were
short of. Coal we were short Of; it was
only 81 SO ton. Stone was worth Is
cents. All of these most excellent bal
last. Yet, would it be believed that We
took on board pig iron at $40 a ton as
ballast, knowing when we started we
should have to cast it overheard? Yet
such is the fact. The gan-boat Lancer
arrived at Hatteras Inlet short Of coal
and water, and yet she threw over IS
tons, 81, 700 worth, of iron. The Pio-
nser threw over $500 worth. In all
$4,000 worth of iron was cast over
board; yet we were short of water. The
pilots, we were told, were all union.
Hatteras Inlet was union, and New
York subscribed $4,000 for the inhabi-
tants because they were all union. Yet
one of the pilots hired by us went over
to the enemy and informed them of ev-
erything; and, as for the Inhabitants of
Hatteras Inlet, they are too ignorant to
know the difference between union and
secession. II is all nonsense; experience
teaches us that there are no union men
there; that the 5000 rifles asked for, if
they had been granted, would now be
on Roanoke Island, and that the SIS, 900
sent to North Carolina, for the union
men, was all lost o US. The South are
in earnest, and we are at play.-New
