a@ A Troy lime-dealer had upon his
books an old debt of $50 against a mason
who had been unfortunate in his business.
The debtor and creditor met few nights
since in the presence of quite crowd, and
soon engaged in an argument as to the
relative merits of various masons in the
city. Lime dealer finally said to the mason
debtor, II am not much of workman, but
I'll bet you $40 that can run better cor
nice than you can" "Agreed," said the
other, and the money was put up by both
parties.
sNow," said the man of lime, '1'll bet
you 500 to $40 I win the bet" 'sDone,
said the mason, and the $50 were placed in
the hands of the stakeholder, with the a.
greement that the parties meet the next
day and decide the bet by running cornice
upon certain buildings that were named
Meantime, however, the creditor visited the
Justices court, procured an attachment for
the money in the hands of the stakeholder,
seized it, and now has the debtor $50 safe
ly slowed away in his own capacious pock'
ct. Who will say that this is not new way
to collect old debts, and specimen of SHARP
practice hard to beat?

A YANKEE TRICK.

Soon after the late war, when an amnes
ty oath-more commonly known as a dam
nasty oath-was considered by some de
sideratmm-s'a thing of beauty"-C) which
= would last forever-a long, lank scion o.
the Confederacy, clad in butternut jeans
walked into the Provost Marshal's Office al
Charlottesville, and inquired:
eff this war the place to git into the u
Mon at? -.
The dapper little individual presiding
over the establishment replied, in blue-nosed
Yankee twang,
eyes sir ;; we administer the amnesty oath
here"
Butternut-ssWell sir, want to be cuss-
ed into the institution quicke'rn HI can
seorch feather"
Reb's name, rank, regiment, and place Of
abode being ascertained, the oath was ad'
ministered with due sdemnity and impress
iveness.
After its administration our Reb gulped
two or three times, and started out-then
turning suddenly around, as if he had for
forgotten something, addressed himself to
the presiding functionary:
ssSay, Capt'n, I'm in the Union now,

Eyes, SIR" replied the officer, with dig
nifty.
"Well," with a quizzed look, "I'm as
good Yankee as anybody now, amt l p
"Yes, sir, you are"
-"Well," continued Butternut, "Now Cap
tain, didn't Stonewall Jackson use to give
us HI, in the Valley?"
Deponent saith not what was the officer s
reply, but it is presumable he thought it
was a striking example of the "ruling pas
sion strong in death"

A MAD Doc SToRY.-A good story is
told of one of the baggage masters of an
important station between Worcester and
Boston, fat, good natured, droll fellow,
whose jokes have become quite popular on
the road. His name is Bill. A few morn
ings since, while in the performance of his
duties in checking baggage, an ugly little
Scotch terrier got in his way, and he gave
him smart kick, which sent him over the
track, yelping. The owner of the dog soon
appeared in high dudgeon, wanting to know
why he kicked the dog.
"Was that your dog?" asked Bill with
his usual drawl.
"Certainly it was; what right have you
to kick him p
"He's mad" said Bill.
"No, he's not mad, either" said the own
"Well, I should be if anybody kicked me
in that way" responded Bill.

not, let them cease TO attack the Republ-
cans for promptly discharging the honora-
ry debts of the Republic, for thus gladly
paying the men who risked their lives to
save the life Of the nation. Six hundred
and twenty-five millions of Gov Seymour's
oOO,OOO,O00 being thus expended in mus
tering out the volunteers, his own figures
show that the current and legitimate OK
pcnscs of both Army ard Navy for the
past three years of peace have been but
SI75,00o,O00, or little more than S5s,-
100000 per annum for both branches of
the service. The Governors figures thus
reduced are not far from tie truth, and
they show degree of economy quite un-
known in Democratic times. Take the
year 1853, for example, in the administra-
tion Of Mr.. buchanan, and we find that the
expenses of the Navy were SI4,O0O,OOO,
and of the Army nearly S2G, 900, ,0O0--for
the two well nigh $40, 900, ,OOO-and that
was in gold, and with an Army and Navy
of less numbers than have been deemed
necessary for the security Of the public
peace during the past three years. Ia
king the difference i'm the amount of force
and the fact that The expenditures of Mr..
Buchanan's administration were in coin
and the present expenditure in paper, it
will be seen that the result shows strongly
in favor of the enonomy of Army expenses
as administered by General Grant. Tho

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR'S MISSTATE
MENTS IN REGARD TO ARMY
EXPENSES.

In the House of Representatives, June
%, 1868, Mr.. Blaine of Maine made the
following comments on a misstatemcnt
made by Gov. Seymour OF New York in
his Cooper Institute speech:
'Mr. Speaker, desire to call attention
to statement made by Gov. Seymour in
his recent speech at the Cooper Institute in
the City Of New York. In arraigning the
Republican party for extravaganza he
makes the following declaration, as report
ed in The New York World, which l
hold in my hand.
''Sincc the closed In lsc5 the Government HIS
spent for its expenses in addition TO its payment
principal and interest ofpublic debt, than
thousand million dollars. or this sum there has
been nearly eight hundred millions spent on the Ar
my and Navy. and for military purposes. This is
nearly one third Of the national debt. This was
spent in time Of Peace"
The charge thus brought by Gov. Scy-
mour is that in the three years that have
transpired since the war closed our army
and navy have cost MS $500, ,OOO, 900, or at
the rate of nearly S27O,OOO,OOO per annum
in time of profound peace. The statement
is cunningly made with the evident pur-
pose of misleading the public mind, for
while il is quite true that the military and
naval expenses since the close Of the war
have been $500, ,O0O, 900, It is absolutely
untrue that they have been S27O, O,OOO, 900
per annum. When the war closed by the
surrender of Lee on the 9th of April, 1865,
the armies of the Union bore the names of
nearly million men on the rolls, and our
navy, in its vast and widely extended duty
of blockading 5000 miles Of coast. had
nearly 500 vessels in service, with a cores
ponling number of men. The first result
of Grants magnificent series of victories
and final triumph over the Rebellion was
to muster out these countless hosts which
had borne our standard with such glory on
the land and on the sea. Months of pay
were due to more than half the army; the
well earned closing bounty was due to all,
and the sailors. beside their back pay,
were to receive millions of prize money
honestly their own. The vast and almost
incalculable amount needed TO be provided
for these purposes must be had at once.
and thanks to the patriotism and the
wealth of our people it was had at once.
l have this morning visited the Treasury
Department and by the official statements
which hold in my hand it appears that
the disbursements for the army and navy
for the Ia days following Grants closing
victory amountedto $625, 100000. Hence
ii will be seen that more than three fourlhs
of the 100000, 900 so triumphantly para
ded by Gov. Seymour as the War aud Ma
Wy expenses of the past three years were

W.
.,o( Moinc, ia the House Of R,l'rescn-
s'totircs, Jnly >, 1868.
The house being In Committee of the
Whole on the Deficiency Appropriation
bill, Mr. Blaine said
Mr.. CnAIIMAN: We have entered upon q
new fiscal year. and the last Appropriation
bill to provide for its expenditures has
been reported AMI Is now before the
House. The occasion seems fit one for 4
brief "urvey of our financial situation and
for pertinent answer to the many mis-
representations enthusiastically set aflost IN
regard to Governmental expenditures. A
very labered attempt has been made
throughout the country, by certain parties
and psrtisans, TO create the Impression
that the expenditures Of this Congress are
on scale OF needless and reckless ex-
iravigance. propose to show that such
is not the fact, but that, on tho contrary,
the expenditures are made with far more
regard TO economy than distinguished the
last Democratic Administration that was
in power in this country. The question is
one of figures and not Of argument, and
hence proceed at once to the figures. II
is important at the outset, to a clear un-
dcrstanding and clear comparison cf Gov
crnment expenditures at the present time,
and the period Immediately preceding the
wa, To distinguish between those cxpcndi-
lures which were the inevitable conse
quencc OF the Rebellion, and therefore
unavoidable, and those which may be to a
certain extent controlled by the discretion
and fidelity of Congress. or those expcn-
ditures, which are the direct outgrowtt Of
the Rebellion, count the interest on the
war debt and the pensions and bcuniics 10
soldiers and sailors. These are expendi-
lures which are not discretionary but arc
impcrativcly demanded, unless The nation
is prepared on the one hand TO defraud It's
creditors, or on the ether 10 turn lis back
on the brave men who risked everything
that the Republic might survive. The an
nual interest on the public debt amounts 10
$I2s,67S,07s 80. The pension roll fer tho
year will be $50. $50, 900, and the bountics
due and payable will require about $780,
100000. These three items which are not
discretionary, amount to the large aggre-
gate of nearly SI9o,oOO,OOO. Well nigh
two thirds of our total outlay for the fiscal
year upon which we have just entered.
tho fact that so large proportion Of our
expenditures is the result efthe war, and
is unavoidable unless We repudiatc our
obligations to our public creditors and our
heroic soldiers, cannot be too often repeat
cd or too thoroughly impressed on the
public mind; for il Is idle TO denounce
these expenditures as exiravagant unless
we are prepared TO withhold them; and
whoever proposes to withhold them pro-
poses thereby 20 put the nation at the same
time under the douh,;;, disgraccful stigma
of population ard ingratitudc. If the
Democratic party choose 10 assume that
position it is welcome 10 all the glory of it,
For the ordinary expenditures of Govern
ment for the fiscal year which has just be-
gun the appropriations are as follows:
