A Precious Lot.

Z. s. Grant is the man who, in
cold blood, demanded of the War
Department that no exchange Of
prisoners should be made, when
thousands Of the bravest and best of
our brothers and friends were suffer-
ing in Southern prisons. 1t is emf
nently fit that he'should be support
cd by Horace Greeley, the bail Of
Jefferson Davis; by Joe Brown, of
Georgia, the founder of the Anler-
sonville prison; by Ben. Butler, the
man who assisted in preventing an
exchange; by Stanton, who declared
that he would not exchange healthy
rebles for, the skeletons of Union
soldie:s; by w. w. Holden, who Of
fered a reward to any man who
would assassinate Abraham Lincoln,
by John A. Logan, who tried to
raise a regiment in Southern Illinois
for service in the rebellion, but fail
ing, sold himself for pair of
epauletts; by Bingham, denominat-
ed by Butler the murderer of an in
accent woman; and BY allthe carpet
baggcrs and negroes who arc now
reaping the fruits of the sufferings
and sacrifices of the soldiers of the
Union. Grant and his supporters
are a precious lot, truly. How their
record appeals to the support Of
soldier citizens ! 1t is positively

Cost Of RlfaicalRule.

Since the surrender of LEES ar
my the Radical Government at
Washington have borrowed about
eight hundred millions of dollars,
and have collected in addition there
to from tie people during the same
period, by way of taxes and custom
duties, fourteen hundred millions,
which make two thousand two hun
drel millions that they have expend-
cd since the close Of the rebellion.
This is one half Of the entire debt OF
Great Britain, and more than the
entire amount expended by the Ma.
tlonal Government from the time
that George Washington was first
inaugurated President up to the
close of Buchanan's administration,
during which time the country went
through two successful foreign wars,
and any number of wars with the
Indians. and also acquired all the
territory of the United States west
of the Mississippi River. These facts
speak for them selvcs.--N Y. World.

Governor Seymour and the
Drafts.

The Rochester Union calls atten-
tion to the fact that the radicals, in
their haste to assail Gov. Seymour,
forget that his action in the matter
Of Transcription was formally apprev-
ed by the assembly of 1854, with
its thirty-cight republican majority.
The secretary Of war appointed
commissioner ofhis own to invcs-
tigate the grounds Of Gov Seymour's
complaints, and they reported them
well founded, and the state of New
York obtained her rights. Where
upon the committee on federal re-
latiops, a majority republicans, re-
ported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted by
the Assembly
DC and are hereby rendered to his excel
lency, Governor Seymour, for calling the
attention Of the general government at
Washington to the errors in the apportion-
mcnt of the quota of this state under the
enrolment act of the Sd of March, 1862,
and for his prompt and efficient efforts in
procuring a correction of the same.
RESOLVED, That the clerk of this house
transmit to the governor an engrossed copy
of this report and resolutions.
This endorsement, forgotten by
the radicals in their zeal to malign
the governor, is squelcher upon
them. Buffalo Courier.

Notwithstanding the war ended
in 1865, the expenses of War and
Navy Departments during 1867, two
yssss after the war closed, were S.
500, 900 more than during the first
year oft war. Where does this
money 60? The expenses of these
two departments in 1867 were over
SAL, 600, 900 more than in 1866, and
from all accounts the increase of
1868 will be double that sum
Again we ask where does all this
money 60! All efforts in Congress
to reduce the expense have proven
futile. The Radicals continue to
squandcr the money and add to tho
cost Of living Of every man woman
and child in tho country, in order
that they may revel in luxury. The
leaders of that party are now trying
to elect Grant President, that they
may still revel ir large expenditures
