Topping off Useless Appropriatio

Looping off Useless Apr OpriatfOns
We are glad that the Democrats in the
Senate are looping off all needless appro-
priations in the Appropriation bill. In this
they will undoubtedly be supported by the
Democrats in the House. In these days of
trying taxation, every little saving in the
matter of expenditure will be regarded as
Godsend by the people.

AuOther Election in PennsyI-
VaniA.

On the 9th there was an election for bor-
rough officers in Plumb Creek township
and Elderton borough, Armstrong county,
Pa, at which the entire Democratic ticket
was elected, with Democratic gain of
forty over last fall. Impeachment and the
corruptions of Republican officials is doing
the business for the Republican party.

The Sort of Retrenchment In.
dOrsed by the Ohio Republican
State Convention.
was held here in Columbus on the 4th inst,
to gain favor with the public insinuated
that the Republicans in Congress, after the
party had been engaged in shameless
plundering of the Government, were en-
gagged in retrenching, by .,.-,-
Resolued, That we cordially approve the
determination of Congress to retrench the
expenditures OF the Government, and that
we urge upon the National Legislature the
necessity of the strictest economy, &c.
Now, in this connection, it is well enough
to know how the Radicals in Congress
carry out this determination" "to re-
trench the expenditures of the Govern
ment." Specimens or samples, are there
fore valuable. MACK" in his letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial, furnishes the follow
ing specimen:
T "The way they have of sretrenching' in
Congress commends itself TO all intelligent
people. Thus in the House the other day
they did little of it, for which all true
patriots should be thankful. Two men
had been contesting Kentucky seats, on
the ground of their own superior loyalty
and the disloyalty of the sitting members.
They had not the shadow of case. One
had been beaten by six thousand and an
other by eight thousand votes-pretty stiff
majorities. one would say, and not giving
"probable cause'' for contest. The COM
mittee on Elections reported unanimously
against the right of the loyal claimants to
seats. Yet the House turned round and
voted each OF them 50 500. What for? Will
some retrenchipg Congressman answer?
The effect of such a waste of money will be
simply to encourage the nuisance of con-
tested elections. The most profitable en-
ployment for "loyal" men in Kentucky
hereafter will be to run for Congress, if
they can get $2.500 for doing it, as they did
In these cases. Neither of the contestants got
two thousand votes, but that seemed to
make no difference in the estimation of the
House. They were "loyal" men, and S2,500
wasn't too big price to pay for Kentucky
loyalist, even though he labored under the
slight disadvantage of having no constitu-
ants behind him. Still as specimen of
"retrenchment" the item is worth looking
at
That's the sort of retrenchment the Ohio
Republican State Convention endorse
Whether the mass of the people will give it
their endorsement is another matter.

New Hamp.hiro Election.

The Telegraph closed down on us at IL
o'clock last night with nothing definite
as to the result of the Election in New
vored with dispatches from Concord, say
ing that the entire vote had been polled in
some of the Wards, and that the Republi-
cans were sanguine, and one from Dover.
claiming that the Republicans were
happy in the belief that they had
made gains in two Wards; that both
parties were working with spirit,
and equally confident of success. Early
in the evening came dispatch dateu Con-
cord p. M, which gave us tile informa-
lion that returns received strongly indi-
Gated the election of Gov. HARTMAN by an
increased majority over last year. The last
dispatch received from Concord, and this
came to us at IL o'clock, P. NJ, said that
up to six o'clock returns had been received
from twenty towns, giving HARTMAN
(Republican) 6,6S0; SINCLAIR Democrat)
64S7. Democratic gain one hundred twenty
four. Now to say the least of it, this is very
strange-strange that at IL o'clock P. NJ,
we could not have more returns. In 1866,
on the occasion of the New Hampshire
election, we received a dispatch dated
Concord, March 13, 1880 P. NJ, stating that
9S towns had been heard from, with the
following result: Smythe (Repub.) 20,500;
Sinclair (Dem.) 15,4S1. That year the
Republican majority in the State was
1856. Last year, on the night of the New
Hampshire election, we had no news.
Then the Republicans carried the State by
only 3:l46-a falling in the majority from
the preceding year of 1,5l0. What
little news we have shows that
the Democrats are not losing, and
the fact that the telegraph was silent, is a
good omen for Democrats. Our impress
sion is, that the Republicans have carried
the State, butby reduced majority.

A BIbnIARD SALooF.-On Saturday
night last some OF the oolored dele
gates entered Mr.. Fehrenbach's bill
lard saloon and desired to play
game, but upon being informed by
the proprietor that il was n neiHs. ..ilia
rules of his room to permit them to
play, they very quietly retired.
+ Yesterday, about noon, Brevet Col
Moore, of the 9th Infantry, and two
delegates, Col. T. J. Robertson,
white, and Swails, colored, visited
the same saloon, and commenced to
play before the proprietor had no.
ticed that one of the delegates was
colored. He then entered his pro-
test about the continuation of the
game, and some high words passed.
Robertson is reported to have said
that this was free republican Go
vernment; that the negro was entitled
to all the privileges of the white man,
and that he would come with party
Mt 8 o'clock in the evening, and test
the point Us TO whether his friends
were entitled to play or not.
True enough, at o'clock, some of
the delegates, with Col Moore. visit
ed the saloon, and having secured
table, Swails entered, and one of the
playing party gave up his place, to
allow Swails to enter the match. In
the meantime, however, Mr.. Fehren-
bach, fearing disturbance, applied
to the Chief of Police, md the de-
tective force was ordered to be in the
neighborhood
When Swails took his cue in hand,
the proprietor respectfully informed
him that he could not play in his
saloon, and politely requested him to
leave the room. This request was
not complied with, and the parties
seemed bent on going on with the
game, when Mr.. Fehrenbach cnllod
in the detective force The civil
officers had long argumentative
conversation with the military officer,
who had his coat off and appeared
determined to fight the matter
through, bnt his better judgment
advised discretion, and finally the
party, including Robertson, Rutland
and several other delegates, retired
quietly, with the understanding that
the opinion of both the military and
civil government would bc had on
this question of privilege to-day.

moned to Marshall's Wharf, where
the dead body of negro had been
landed, which was fonnd on Drum

swan after it to recover it. It is
supposed that he was taken with
cramps and drowned. Though the
body was much disfgnrcd, it was
recognized as Jacob. Verdict, sac

Know what is going on in the market
tor tlris, great staple. Cotton is
strong in commercial circles, and
while there is hesitation in touching
1t Just now, the Mobile Register is of
opinion that it has not seen its high
est dgure by four or five cents in
this country, and will touch twelve
pence in England. The last circular
of W. G. Watts & Co., esteemed one
>Aaf the most reliable cotton houses in
liverpool, is buoyant in its expecta
6nns. 1t as there stated that tho
cause of the late rise is owing to the
i0creased consumption and the uncer-
sanity of the present supply to the
.spinnars. Here we have the true
grand elements in price. India and
Egypt will send small supplies this
= season, and America must be looked
90 so furnish the raw material that
a1iH be required. It is further stated
in this circular, that should the con-
sumption continue OF the present
tcnEte, it will take about one million
9oies to satisfy it above what was re-
4uired last year. This ono million
bales must be procured from this
country. It can be had in no other
ylart of the world. Hence it follows
&hat cotton may even advance in q
ssIort time to one shilling per pound,
IF the speculations INDUCED in are
.oorrect. The Messrs. Watts are in
grave error on one point, and that is,
Mat a temporary depression in prices
-Kill result from the fact that the pre-
sent high prices will induce the plant
esre TO rush their cotton on the mar
&et. Alas! the planters have already
accomplished that rush. Their en-
gsgements forced them early in the
aaason to realize, and the stock in
heir hands is very limited. We wish
for their sakes that it was otherwise.
The Liverpool cotton merchants will
soon discover how much they are
mistaken in the Southern stocks.
The falling off of receipts at the
uorts is already telling the story.
