Congress having protested to be very anxious
TO retrench expenses, Gen. Grant as Secretary
OF W ar I'D interim cut down his estimates and
recommendations of expenditures and so has
the Secretary of the Navy, the latter some
twenty-five millions. But Congress does not
practice what it breaches. 1t has ordered
bill to be reported to continue the freedmens
bureau another year from next July, so as to
take care of the black rulers of the Southern
States and see that they are clothed and fed at
the public expense! 1t has refused to enter
tain proposition TO cut down the salaries of
members from five thousand to four thousand
dollars, and it has refused to pass law limit
ing the amount of stationery for each member
to SIPS year. Congress wants other people to
be economical This is well. but il ia not
enough.-ArgUs.
Gen. Grant did well, and the people ap-
prove. We believe the Argus does not now
regard him as a Democrat. Grandfather
Welles is Democrat of the most orthodox
faith. But he didn't cut down his estimates:
Republican committee on appropriations
did that for the old gentleman Congress has
taken no action yet on the subject of continu-
ing the Freedmen's Bureau. A single commit
tee of the House is said to have concluded to
report bill for that purpose. And if it should
be done-what then? Army officers, already
under pay, perform all the services required of
the Bureau and as for feeding and clothing the
blacks, it is matter of history that more
whites than blacks have been indebted to the
good offices of the Bureau. Again, was it
Democrat or Republican who moved in the
matter of reducing salaries and mileage?
When the salary was raised from three to five
thousand dollars, where was the greatest unan-
unity, among Republican or Democratic men,
bers? The last count in the Argus indictment
is altogether fictitious. The matter is not vet
decided, and the question is whether to allow
each member 1925 for stationery, or nothing at
all. The retrenchment dodge isn't one of the
Democratic trumps, and the less the Argus or
any other Democratic paper says about it the
better. The first act of the Democratic Assem-
bly, Of New York was nearly to double the
number and emoluments of the officials of that
body. have plenty OF other instances of
the same kind subject to the Argus order

Z. The THOMAS BLooK.-We gave a full de-
scription of this magnificent block some time
last month. Yesterday in passing down the
street, we noticed that the boards covering the
front of the lower story had been removed,
and that the whole building is everything that
we had represented it to be. One of the large
commodious stores on the first floor is to be
occupied by the Merchants Exchange, and
the other is yet to be let. 'N

Information Wanted.

MR.. EDIToR:-Can you inform me how much rent
the Radicals pay for their club room over the city
agency and whether it is for "potica or other pur-
poses-aso to whether the city owns the room or
not. SIS s7s tmYr ECONOMY
We can only say that the young men of the
Constitutional Union Club applied for accom-
modations in the city building and were re-
fused upon the plea that it was not advisable
for the city property to be used for political
purposes, though the Wide-Awakes and 10y
al Leagues had enjoyed such favors The
room now used by the Radicals is the property
OF the city, and We presume it is occupied
heated and lighted at the city s expense. At
least that is the way they usually do things
Argus.
Economy" should have applied elsewhere
for information. If he had addressed his en-
quiry to the Press, for example, we should
have referred the matter at once to the Mayor
and Aldermen, and should have been able to
report, as ICE are raoao, that the Constitutional
Union Club, or any other club, can have hall
of the City Government, say in the old city
building, on precisely the same terms and
conditions under which the Radicals have
engaged their hall-namely on agreeing to
pay therefor a reasonable rent. No rooms in
the new city building will be used for political
purposes and none belonging to the city will
be used without remuneration, by either party

CoD-FIsHERMEN's CoNvENTIoN.-Delegate
from various New England cities and towns
interested in the cod fl sheries assembled at the
Quincy House, Boston, on Tuesday. Six del
egates were in attendance from Maine, among
whom were Messrs. Dana, Trefethren and Ster-
ling of this city. There was at first dis
position to request of Congress an Increase of
the tax on foreign fish, making the import du-
ty as high as that imposed before the reeipro-
city treaty took effect. But upon further con-
sdeTation it was found that this would be a
hazardous remedy, as the British government
would probably retaliate by increasing the
present tax of one dollar ton on our vessels
fishing in the Provincial waters. The form
finally taken by the resolutions was as follows:
Resolged, That return to the former policy
of the United States government, in fostering
and protecting their fisheries, is imperatyeiy
demanded.
ResotUed, That The drawback OF duty on TOR
eign salt, offered by Congress as an offset to
the. repeal OF the fishing. bounty mas proved
an inadequate compensation therefor.
Resoloed That the law should be so amend
ed as to make said drawbacks apply to all salt
used in curing or packing hsh.
In the course of the proceedings persons in
terested in the mackerel fishing were invited
TO take part in the conference. The commit
tee appointed to consider the best method of
directing the attention of Congress to the re-
qutrements OF the convention, reported a
recommendation that the several towns en-
gagged in the fisheries be invited to elect dele
gates for this purpose, and that said delegates,
prior to going to Washington, meet at the
Quincy House, Boston, February Il. at ~
o'clock, for the purpose of consultation and
concerning necessary arrangements.
