WHEN man has been for weeks on the very
verge of starvation, platter of cold hash will
be magnifed in his eyes into dish that might
have satisfied Epicurus. SO it is with that
political starveling yclept Democracy. Ajour-
nal which has long been kept at mortifying
distance from the flesh pots Of the political
Egypt lifts up its voice this morning in the
following joyous strain
"Plttsburg, the sebastopol of radicalisn, has
Iallen; the Democratic candidate for Mayor
was elected In that city on the 10th inst, by q
majority reaching twenty five hundred. At the
State election, the majority for Henry w. VIII
llams, the radical candidate for Supreme Jutfge,
was twelve hundred and fifty-nine. This shows
a Democratic gain of thirty seven hundred and
nity-ntne in less than three months. The
Democratic candidates for Treasurer Controller,
and City Attorney were also successful"
Now for the truth of the matter. James
Blackmore, Democrat, and Samuel Allinder,
a Republican, who headed the Independent
WOrkingmen's ticket were elected Mayor and
City Treasurer respectively over the Repub-
lioan nominees. With two tickets in the
field against them, the Democrats were wise
enough to see that they had not ghost of a
chance for the spoils, and they therefore en-
dorsed the opponents of the regular Republi-
can ticket. But Notwithstanding consider
able detection in the Republican ranks,
resulting from the new labor movement, the
Republican candidate for City Controller re-
ceived a majority of 2S2 and the Republican
nominee for City Attorney a majority Of 4l6;
while in both branches of City Councils the
Republicans have secured an overwhelming
superiority. In the light of these facts, the
baked meats which were about to be served up
at the Republican funeral have been ex-
changed for the most unpalatable of cold hash
and the obsequies will probably be tinged
with considerable gloom.

But the true and only practicable method of
relieving our financial embarrassments is TO
apply the pruning knife to every person in the
employment Of the Federal Government. The
following practical, though not very elegant,
advice of the New York Tribune in reference
to our foreign ministers should find general
APPLICATION
"Cut the Sl7, 500 fellows down TO $40 900, the
$4,000 chaps To $40 000 the $40 00Os TO S75O0 aud
the S75OOs TO $4,000, and perhaps some of the
patriots may throw up their offices in disgust.
II nail OF Them did, and no others could be
iound TO MI their places, so much the better"
And If the material interests of the country,
either at home or abroad, should be found to
suffer in consequence, we have no doubt but
that whole regiments of one-armed and one
legged soldiers, who are now undergoing the
slow torture of starvation to the melancholy
music of debilitated hand-organs, will again
rally to the rescue of the nation. They gave
their sweat, and blood and mangled limbs for
a triHe; and, if they had the opportunity,
they would gladly devote their heroic rem
nants to the public service for moiety of the
sum which is now received by able-bodied
men who can follow the plough with profit to
themselves and the country.

WHATEVER may be the merits of the question
concerning contraction of the volume of our
currency, there is happily one kind of CON
traction which will be hailed with joy by the
whole country; and there is no reasonable
doubt of its feasibility. We refer to the con-
templated action on the part of Congress
which looks to the material reduction of the
national expenditures, and such an adjustment
of the sources of revenue as will thereby be
rendered possible, to the great relief of peo-
pie overburdened by taxation. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in his recent report,
estimates the expenditures Of the fiscal year
ending with June 30 1869 as follows

large humber Of cilixens had collected at the

building from destruction but they did the
