Expenses at the white House.

The Rochester Democrat (Rep) explains
how the late President Lincoln WAS able to
save $4,000 from hs salary. 1t says:
The trouble with new President ofieason.
ably frugal habits is not how to save his salary
but how to spend IT, In the fret place he has
no rent to pay Congress furnishes the White
House from garret to cellar, and provides all
that is needed in kitchen and pantry, as we'll
As In parlor He has no wages to pay. Con-
gress pays his servants, from private secretary
to bootblack and scullicn.
1t also provides him With fuel and lights,
aud pays the expenses Of his stables 1t pro-
vdes him with garden and a corps Of gard
ners, who ought to see that he pays nothing
for vegetables, or fruits, or howers In short,
OF the ordinary expenses OF house-keeping,t the
only bills the President is called upon to pay
are the butcher and the wine merchants. g..
Even the latter has not fallen upon the recent
occupants Of the White House, whose cellars
have been kept well stocked by presents Of
wines aud l'quors.
When all these items are deducted, and
when il is considered that II ia not etiquette in
Washington to cali upon the Presden. for
contributions to ordinary charities, and it
can be easily understood how Mr. Lincoln
could lay up ono'halt or more oi his salary.
And this economy will be more comprehen-
sible if the fact be, as universally asserted aud
credited IN Washington, that the expenses Of
.ho parties and state dinners, occasionally
given by the President, Yere at Mrs. Lincoln's 8
request, paid for out III Government funds,
All this was different under former admin.

Place 10 Live In.

II our contemporary of the Louisville Jour
nal is correct, that city is most delightful
place 10 reside in. 1t thus describs it,
ut seems that portion of onr soldiers are
determined that bloodshed shall not end with
the coming peace--lhat if they cannot have
the excitement Of battles and perilous
marches, they will seek it in street braws, in
murder, assassination, and robbery. We live
in almost reign of terror No man can
walk the streets at ight without danger to his
life The reports Of firearms are heard
through the whole night, and assaults upon
peaceable citizens are of such frequent oc-
currence that they have nearly ceased to be
thought of as outtages, being regarded NJ the
natuIal results of soldiers being brought in
contact with citizens
is thus further drawn aside from the local
condition Of the city. Vt says;
"0n Monday night, between Second and
Third streets, in the very glare of light re-
ilected from two newspaper offices, three the
nteres, half dozen cigar stores, and as many
drinking saloons--as enrly as half past nine
o'clock-two white women we're accosted by
one of crowd Of negroes with Infamous pro
posals, and the response Of the women
brought forth volley of curses and vulgar
epithets
I "As Mr. George Holbrook was going home
last night, he was attacked b negro, who
rushed out of the alley between Second and
Third streets, on Walnut, and struck him in
the lnce, shot him through the leg, aud de-
camped.

Military Courts.

Military Commissions, and military courts,
and such Ike, are blessings that the country
may before long be deprived Of The New
York Tribune has figured up the cost Of one
ofthem now sitting at Philadelphia, and we
reproduce its editorial on that subject The
Tribune is getting ont of patience with such
things; and the Cincinnati Commercial on
Tuesday lifted up its voice against them, after
this styles
"Why the costly stupidity Of military courts
all over the country should be continued it IS
impossible to say, unless it is thought that we
have great many Generals and other officers
whose pay must be continued at all hazards,
whether they have anything to do or not.
"The authorities at Washington ought to
know that the whole country is sick Of the
prohigacy and inetliciency Of the military
courts Itis high time they we're wiped out.
IA dull affair has been dragging its weary
length for weeks at Cs- 'hridge, Ohio, and
been trying to tell us what II is all about but
we have not been able TO ascertain further
than that the officers engaged in it should be
mustered out of service, and the matter turned
over to justice OF the peace.
"In Kentucky there are several tedious
trials pending, at great expense, and no profit
to the country"
The Democratic press (says the Statesman)
has protested against the continuance Of these
useless and expensive affairs unavailingly. 1t
is to be hoped, now that the "loys" press ore
taking the matter in hand, that the places
that now know them will soon know them no
more forever.

GA great sensation was created at the

ance of two persons in the parquette, who
were by common consent recognized as
the very incarnation, par excellence, Of
shoddy and petroleum. The lady's head
dress was all ablaze with gold and pre-
cious stones. The diamonds alone are
estimated at 100000, while the other
yaluables on her opera cloak, &c., could
not be worth much less than $4,000
more. Her male companion, likewise,
was a spectacle for gods and men. His
magnificent white satin vest had small
row of buttons, and in every button was
a sparkling diamond. Cravat and wrist
bands were likewise set off with gems Of
the richest and rarest description. The
pair, in short, seemed to have on their
precious persons the entire contents Of
some first-class jewelry establishment, and
it seemed to be marvellous that they could
trust themselves out of doors at all.
