Expenses at the white House.

The Rochester Democrat explains how the
late President Lincoln was able 10 save $50,
600 from his salery. It insists that the trou.
BILE with q President of reasonably frugal
habits is not how to save his salary, but how
to spend 1t. In the first 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
psrlor. He has no wages TO pay. Congress
pays his servants, from private secretary to
boot black and scullion.
1t also provides him with fuel and lights,
and pays the expenses of his stables. 1t
provides him with garden and O corps of
gardeners, who ought to see that he pays
nothing fer vegetables, oil fruits or fowers.-
In short, of the ordinary expenses of house,
kseping, the only bills the President ia CALI
ed upon 10 pay are the butchers aud the
wine merchants. Even the latter has not
fallen upon the recent occupants of the White
House, whose cellars have usually been kept
well stocked by presents Of winos and H.
quors.
When all these items are deducted. and
when Il 10 considered that il is not etiquette
10 Washington to call upon the President for
contributions to ordinary charities. it can be
easily understood how Mr. Lincoln could lay
up one halt or more Of his salary. And this
economy will be more comprehensive if the
fact be, as universally asserted and credited
in Washington, that the expenses Of the par
ties and state dinners occasionally given by
by the President were, at Mrs. Lincoln re
meet, paid for out of government funds, -
Al this was different under former admins.

treated. But this thing Of arming must be done,
for, says Master Benjamin, "You (the Viz
ginianO must make up your minds TO try that,
or see your army withdrawn from before your
town." This b pleasant prospect. General
Lee needs achievements. Secretary Benjamin
says, II know not where white men can be had.
I tell you there are not able-bodied white men
enough in the country. Do you suppose that
we Jef.s CabineD have worked night after
night BY this Infamous gas light you have here,
and not found out this thing" He has can
vassed tho ground; he knows that the fighting
white reserves Of "the contederacy" are used
up, and that Lees only chance for reinforce
ments Is to "put In tho niggers." They must
be volunteer niggers, too, and Leo must have
twenty thousand Of them right away, or he viii
have to pull up stakes, and try the running
tactics Of Joe Johnston.
This, then, b tho situation Of JeH Davis, a.
presented to the people Of Richmond BY his
faithful Secretary Of State. The paper money,

cotton, tobacco and provisions Of the people Of

as q new basis for some sort Of new treasury
system. Next, the white reserves Of the States
within the military lines Of Davis being ex-
hausted, the black slaves Of the planters, by
separate State action, are to be invited to vol

ginia must "put in the niggers" by this method,
to the extent Of twenty thousand, forthwith, as
achievements to General Lee. or he will be
compelled to abandon Richmond, as place ofno
consequence, and thus bring the whole concern
to sudden collapse. II, with this official expo
sition from his Premier Of the cause of JeH.
Davis, as 1t stands, the masses of the people Of
the rebellious States are not satisfied that his
condition is utterly hopeless, the impending
evacuation of Richmond by General Lee, and
the necessary fight Of Davis, his Cabinet and
Congress for parts unknown, win surely settle
tho question.

BUBBLE On CoMPANHs-A WORD TO THE
WIsE.-The recent discovery Of oil wells in the
interior lands of Pennsylvania, Western Virgil
MIA and other States, has, beyond doubt, been
one Of the greatest events Of the time in which
we live. That new source Of wealth, 80 vast
and unlimited, should have been suddenly
developed in our country in the very midst OF
the most desolating war that the world has
seen, is a matter for which the nation has right
to rejoice. or course, we always knew that
petroleum in immense quantities existed on
this continent Our inexhaustblo coal mines
afforded proof bf this; for wherever there are
great deposits Of coal, oil is certain 70 be found
In more or less abundance. But tho extraordi-
nary development OF the wealth In oil exhibited
in some Of our States within very few months
has surpassed all expectation. As in all cases
Of the kind, an army ofsharpers and acute spccu-
lators has arisen to turn this. wealth 10 their
advantage, although possessing no right or title
to Il themselves While solid and substantial
companies for the exploration and full devel-
opment Of oil property have been established
upon proper and correct bases, ephemeral and
rotten concerns without number have also
sprung into being with the spontaneity Of the
flow OF the oil itself We have frequently
warned the public against placing any conf
dence in the vain pretensions Of these bubble
organizations Like the great sosth Sea
scaeme-known 10 the whole world--and like
many other similar impositions that have fol-
lowed since those days, these bubble oil compa-
MES will suddenly burs. and ruin all who
are roofs enough 10 have anything TO do with
them '.-~ --
In our money article published yesterday
any one might have seen how extensive y the
business Tint Is being done in the matter Of oil
companies, legitimate and Legitimate II was
there shown that there are now In existence,
and In the course Of formation, no less than i've
hundred and forty-three companies, which Is
more than double the number Of Towing wells,
with an aggregate nominal capital Of over three
hundred and nfsy-six millions Of dollars Can
any reasonable man rely upon such sudden
imitation OF oil wealth % is here represented
Il Il not easy TO SEQ that there must be some
gigantic bubble somewheref What Is there TO
nay an interest on such an enormous invest
ment as is here put down upon paperf These
are matters on which oil capitalists and men Of
business should reflect before committing them
selves TO wild speculations which may turn out
not only great failures, but sources Of serious
loss We draw public attention once more 70
these facts, that all may DO guarded against
