We recently published an ac-
count of a young man at the col

Expenses Of Congress.

In the contingent expenses OF the
House of Representatives, as offi-
cially published under the direction
of the Clerk, we find such items as
these:
G. w. Cochran SO, bottles of snuff. :. Sl2
Ira Goodhow, 500 street car tickets ;. %
Hudson TAYLOR, 80 reams gilt note. 2oO
L. H. Rollins, board and expenses during
q. w. Cochran, j doz. martinique snuff. y
n G. Ordway, 2O3 dozen kid gloves. 6i3

These are certainly curious
charges against the Government.
1t has not been generally known
that "Uncle Sam" bought snuff
for the use of the members, and
that he invested in street-railroad
cars passes for their benefit! He
is liberal also in furnishing them
kid gloves, doing his best to pre-
sent them outwardly as gentlemen.
This, we presume, in Radical par
lance, all comes in legitlmately
under the head of stationary" to-
gether with fearful list of pocket
knives, combs, perfumeries, &C.
These ''little fxings," with the
$4,000 a year, the mileage, and,
more than all, the stealings, make
the office of Congressmen only infe,
rior to an army contract or an oil
well.

Death Of Ex-aov. Tod.

David Tod, ex- Governor of Ohio
died on the 18th inst, at his resi-
dence near Youngstown, Mahonins
county. He had seemingly beer
in his usual health until he awokt
on that morning. He then com
planned of being unwell, lay down
again, and in a few moments was {
corpse. He was in his xty-fourth
year, having been born at Youngs-
town, on the 2lst day of February,
1906.
| He was a son Of the Hon. George
Tod, q native of Connecticut, and
one of the pioneers Of the Western
Reserve. He was admitted to the
bar at the age Of twenty two, and
practiced the legal profession at
Warren, Trumbull county, with
much success, for fifteen years. =
He was particularly eminent in
criminal cases, A Jealous politi-
clan, he sided with the Democracy,
and 10 1888 was elected to the State
Senate. In 1S40 he stumped Ohio
for Van Buren, gained a high repu-
tAtion for eloquence and became
very popular with his party, In
1914 he was nominated for Cover
nor, and again in ls46, being de
Eeated on each occasion byunusual-
ly small majprities. ,sftI
In lS47 he was appointed Minis
ter to Brazil by President Polk. M
He held that position for over four
years, and on his return, with char
acteristic ardor, took the stump for
Franklin Pierce. He also partlci-
.pated in the canvass Of 1856. U

His cutspoken Uniohism won him
the respect aud good will Of those
who had been his political oppo.

ernor by the Republicans in 1861,
and elected by a3large majority
Entering upon his duties in Jauua-
ry, 1859, his energy and business
talent soon became manifest 1t

Ohio raised lts immense quotas of,

Declining a denomination at the
