Deficiencies.

The Radicals in Congress lngeniously
hide much of their corruption and ex-
travagance under the title of deficien-
cies. At the beginning of each fiscal
year, appropriations are made to the
different departments. At all times
these fall far below the actual need Of
those ruHning the various branches of
the Government. The fact is made
known when the amount specified is
exhausted, and then comes extra ap-
preparations, and consequent defcien-
cies. At the present time the defcien-
cies are of character well calculated
to startle the prudent business people
of the country. Look at some of the
items as they have been reported from
the heads of the various departments:
Deficiency in expenses for reconstruc-
tion, S657 900; second law for same OBJ
ject, S27S, 900; q further deficiency in
the Third District, aud SS7 900 for ne
groes in the District of Columbia. In
the War Department we have a def
cheney of 81 100000, and in the Post
master Generals Office and the Quar-
termaster-Generars Office and the
Postoffice Department there are def
cheney bills, and the Treasury Depart
ment, the Collector of Customs, and the
Construction branch of the Treasury
there are two deficiencies. In the lnte-
rior Department there is a deficiency;
and in the government of Territories,
and in the Legislative Department q
deficiency of $500, 900 in the Senate, and
Sll5,000 in the House. Then a second
legislative deficiency in the Pension
Office, two deficiencies in Public Build
ings and Grounds, and lastly on the mis-
cellaneOus bill. The business of this
year is thus summed up. That of the
next will be equally disastrous un-
less expenses are curtailed and q rigid
system of economy introduced into all
branches of the government. Ifidle ne
groes are to be fed, clothed and housed;
If the army is to remain on a war foot
ing in time of peace, and the revenues
Of the nation be depleted by swarm of
useless officials, how is it possible for
the leaks in the ship to be plugged
She must sink still deeper in the water
and the passengers suffer more acutely
as necessary consequence. Many of
the national taxes abolished by the
last Congress as an electioneering dodge
must be reinstated, unless expenses are
reduced. The latter movement is not
probable, and hence deficiencies, accu-
mulated debt and burdensome taxation
will be the continued programme of our
national performance. Is there not
virtue enough in the business men of
this nation to alter the course of the
Radical leaders, Are they so welded
to party that the welfare of the conn
try is a secondary consideration '-4ge.

ed to quote the following extract
from General Blair's speech at st. Louis
on Friday night:
"The point to which desire to bring
you is this, that in this struggle we have
everything at stake; that it is the final
and last struggle for the preservation
of free constitutional government IN
America; that if we fail in it the Re
public falls with us; it becomes mere
appendage of the military chieftain
who is lifted to power in the name OF
the President, but who will never
leave the Presidential mansion alive
Now here is what General Blair real
ly said. 1t is taken from the rerbatin'
report of his speech, on the occasion al
luded to, in the st. Louis Republican
Read it, honest men, and then tell Us
what you think of the Gazette. Here is
what the General said:
"The point to which desire to bring
you is this, that in this struggle we
have everything at stake; that it is the
final and last strggle for the preserva'
tion of free constitutional government
in America; that if we fail in it the Re-
public falls with u.s.. 1t becomes the
mere appendage of the military chief
tain who is elevated to power in the
name of the Presidency. But he will
never leave the Presidential mansion as
long as he lives. have nothing to say
against him personally; have no in
tention of derogating from his great
merits as soldier, and / have no de-
sire to tarnish any of the laurels which
he won in the services that he gave the
country during the late war. But
have just as little design of surrender
ing absolute power into the hands of
any man, no matter how illustrious he
may have made his name in this great
war;"
General Blair declared that if the
Radicals succeeded, they would convert
the Government into military despot-
ism, to be ruled by General Grant as long
as he lives. The Gazette, following the
st. Louis Democrat, changes the mean
ing-alters its phraseology into threat
of assassination of General Grant. Such
is the base manner in which the Radi-
calls carry on the present Presidential
struggle. They carry it on by forgery
and fraud. Hundreds and thousands of
the subscribers of the Gazette will see
this slanderous forgery-never observe
the exposure, and honestly believe it to
be true. 1t is by such rascality and
villainy that so bitter prejadice has
been created against the Democracy
among their opponents.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.

To this witness, with a melancholy

THE senior editor of the Detroit Ad'

will undertake to say that there are
men IN Congress who were not worth
groat when they got there, who are now
worth a million of dollars, and dc
know they never got it out of their
salaries" And the people have just
been re-electing some of them. Loyalty
is made to pay; and it would not savor
of the "party of great moral ideas" if it
did not.
