GET. comes to the defence of Mr. Pike
in a com muuication which we publish in an
other column. In reply we have but few
words to say. His first statement is irrelevant.
MI. Pike probably does understand his con.
stituents better than the Press, but that does
not preclude the Press from an expression of
opinion on question of morals Must the
Press hold its peace on prize fighting because
Morrlssey expects denomination?
MI. Pike is 'outside Of the Republican pol
icy and philosophy" because he maintains the
right of the government to pay the bonds in
greenbacks. No such construction has ever
been given the Republican platform, which
we take for an au thoritative declaration of the
party's policy and philosophy" by any re-
spectacle portion of either its press or its
public men. 1t makes no sort of difference
that Mr.. Pike declares that we have not a suf-
ficent amount of greenbacks on hand to pay
the bonds and that greenbacks themselves are
redeemabe in gold. 1t is this very claim of
right to redeem its promises to pay in gold in
other promises to pay at no specified time or
place-promises, too, which yield no interest
that costs this country millions of dollars
JS'i a. 'o'''"iscc, IL VIZ uidy say 80, on It's OVID
honesty. Suppose the whole billion and half
OF hve-twenties were now payable? Accord
ing to Mr.. Pike the right exists to pay them in
greenbacks, for he does not bv any means
make that right dependent upon the amount
OF paper currency on hand or the ultimate
redeemability of that currency in gold
Democrats who go little farther than
Mr.. Pike and believe in the expedency
as well the legality Of payment in green
backs, may Justly take advantage of his con-
cession of the main point and use it in sup
port OF their nefariOus schemes of virtual re-
pudiation. 'l'e.l'
The Globe tells to us a different story from
that which G. F. T. reads there We find
that in the very debate to which he refers,
Mr.. Pike was placed in direct antagonsm to
Mr. Garfield who is quoted by G. F. T., and
also to Mr.. Washburne of Illinois and Mr..
Eliot of Massachusetts,, the latter gentlemen
holding that it was universally understood at
the time the loans were authorized that they
were payable in gold, while not another Re-
publican member came to the side of Mr.
Pike whose recollection was in the Pendleton-
ian way. Yet our correspondent says that
Mr.. Pike was BACKED" by his party. In the
name of Fallstaff! "call you this backing of
your triends?" 'Ef'A se - .'is-

REDUCTION OF ExPENDITUREs.-Mr. WASH
burne of Illinois, chairman of the House COM
mittee on appropriations, has announced that
the appropriations have all been made, and
that there have been great savings. The orig
inal estimates of expenses for the fiscal year
1859 were 1872 900 900, but the whole amount
appropriated has only been $3.50 900 OOO The
amount appropriated for the fiscal year 1869,
exclusive Of the appropriations for the public
debt, pensions and bounties, is not quite $1O2,-
100000, while the same classes of appropria-
tions for the last fiscal year were Sill 1882 7S9.
So the appropriations are almost $4,000 900
less than they were a year ago, reduction of
nearly nine per cent in single year. 1t ap-
pears that a Radical Congress has reduced the
estimates of Democratic administration $82,-
900 900! sE as.- ....... ...,.. ....

A GENUINE CARPET misunderstanding OF
carpet-baggers, what about James Mann of
Gnrham, Maine, WHO goes into Congress as
Democrat, from the New Orleans Congression-
al district? Does he not own house in Cor
ham? Does not his FANNY reside there? And
finally, what are his qualifications for the posi-
ton to which Rebels have elected him? How
will compare in ability and integrity with
Prince, Miller and other Maine men upon
whom the Unionists of the South have confer
red official positions? We notice that the hap
PLY unconscious Biddeford Democrat fell into
curious statement In its last issue. 1t spoke
of Boyden, the venerable member from North
Carolina as a "carpet Dagger" He is Demo-
crat! The Democrat acknowledges that there
are Democratic carpet baggers, and what be-
comes of its thunder?
