FROM Pass CHRISTIAN. Engmsp,
recently appointed by General Gillem Re.
corder Of the town of Pass Christian, has
preferred against H. Taylor, United States
Commissioner at that place, and c. Cassidy,
his deputy, before Justice John Brill, a
charge of having, on the twenty.sixth
ultimo, arrested him without Just cause.
Judge Brill thereupon issued the necessary
warrants, and ON Monday last the case came
up for hearing. 1t appears that the Re,
corder had ordered writs of seizure upon
two coffeehouses for non payment of license
fees. The proprietors of these coffeehouses
had soughtreliefint heCommissioner's court,
aud Recorder Engman, after hearing, was
released by the Commissioner under $1,000
bonds. He then made the charge before
Judge Brill, who, after taking the testimony
of DR.. G. B. New, F. B. Here, Esq, and
others, who had been present at the first
examination, concluded to require from
Messrs. Taylor and Cassidy bonds of $500
each for their appearance before the Circuit

supper was a model in taste and elegance,

beautiful, modest aud elegantly attired, was
a cynosure of admiration, a worthy prize

and seventy five millions Here is riohne
To reduce appropriations, recording to the
delicious Delmar, is to increase expenditures.
Behold how extravagant are the Republicans
They reduced the war appropriations one
half; they cut down the estma 'es on all hands
till the Secretary lifted up his voice in loud
remonstrance, after the fashion of Secretaries,
and all the lobbyists stood aghast; therefore
these wretched Republicans will spend this
year hundred millions more than they did
during the last Such is the Delmar logic,
illustrated by the Delmar arithmetic.
The arithmetic we have had before. Oar
Washington correspondent opportunely re-
calls the performance of the "Director of the
Bureau of Statistics in the matter of the sta
tistics of the United States. His production
was so disgracefully inaccurate that the Secre-
tary ordered it to be burned. An auto-da-f6
in the present case would doubtless prove
equally gratifying, were it not that, to make
thorough work of 1t, he would have to burn
almost every Copperhead paper in the country.
To reason seriously about such iumbles OF
guesses as Mr.. Delmar presents seems useless.
Blunders of forty millions are nothing to him;
actual appropriations form no barrier to the
fights of his fancy concerning the national
expenditures; actual receipts furnish no salve
to soothe his inhamed apprehensions concern
ing the national income. A last years al
manac would be high financial authority
compared with his estimates; table of loga-
rithms would serve as well as his figures to
exhibit our expenses or our revenues. But
we can suggest one consolation which may
A meet even Mr. Delmar's case. He draws a
doleful picture of our probable receipts, but
. these are receipts from Mr.. JohDsOn's tax
y gatherers. He presents sad statement of
expenditures which, in spite of Congressional
appropriations, must be made; but these are
the expenditures of Mr.. Johnson's heads OF
departments. He instructs us to regard Mr..
Johnson as zone of the purest and most honest
of men," but the American people think they
can do better. After next March these customs
and taxes will be collected and spent by a
different set of agents Let Delmar the doleful
remember this; devote himself to the primary
rules of arithmetic in his approaching retiracy,
and possess his soul in patience.
