The Looking Glass for the People.
There is no better commentary upon
the manner in which our country has
been governed than the following tables.
They are the condensation of eloquence.
They speak louder than words. They
address not only the reason, but the
pockets of our people. They tell of i'm.
mense exaotions, Of enormous admins
trative pilfering apG corruption. We
were enjoying state of profound peace
in 1867, equally with that of 1860. Why,
then, should our expenditures be more
than four times as great now9 Why
should it cost twice as much to support
our navy, and two and half times as
much to support our army? Why should
we pay nearly three times the sum to de-
fray the expenditures of our civil list in
1867-8 as 1860? Can any Of our tag
payers give valid reason2 Can Rad
ical Congressman, who is responsible for
these enormous expenditures, tell the
reason for them2 The Government fer
the past seven years has been in Radical
hands. Not dollar could be voted
without their consent for any purpose.
They have been the administration. They
have been the responsible parties. The
people who are burdened with heavy
rents, with high prices for provisions,
and high prices for clothing, for every
thing that is necessary for comfortable
existence, are interested in knowing why
we have this extravagant taxation. Read,
and then cut out and preserve it:

The Kentucky ElectiOn.-DemO-

LOUISVILLE, August H. -The Courier
has returns from ninety-Eine counties,
having only thirteen small mountain
counties, which last year polled only nine
thousand votes, equally divided, between
the two parties, to be heard from. Its
figures show gain Of %, 1853 Democratic
votes over last year and decrease in the
Republican vote of 1856.
Steyenson's majority thus far is SO, 137,
and it will probably exceed 10000, but
will not very 1000 from that amount
Bakers vote in the State will be about
"a, 600, and Steyenson's about IA 600.

The Secretary Of War sent to the
House on Wednesday the 24th ult., a
communication from the Paymaster Gen.
.eral, submitting an estimate of the
amount requir ed to meet the deficiencies
en- the appropriations for the execution
of the reconstruction acts in the Fifth
Military District for the,remainder Of the
fiscal year, ending June 80. 1868 togeth-
er with an estimate Of the amount required
after that date.
In the First District the deficiency is
5000; the amount required for holding
election to vote upon the rejection or
adoption of the constitution, and for the
registration of voters prior to such elec-
ton, is SIS, ,0cO; for the administration Of
Justice by military commissioners, to
December 1, 1868 S12 900; total 500, 600.
The Pay Master ofthe First Military Dis

tion are had between now and that time,
and the constitution is adopted, the gov
ernment of the State passing into the
hands Of the civil authorities, Of course
no further sums will be needed for the
purpose for which these are required
Should the constitution be rejected, and
the State remain in the control of the
military authorities, it is probable that
at least 100000 additional would be re.
quired for this district up to June 80
