Senator Ramsey has been unsuccessful in

the authority, have put his hand into the

to Mr.. Ramsey. This is the economy, this
the retrenchment with the loud promises OF
which the ears Of the people were SO pleas
antly tick!ed one short year ago! But why
waste words in discussing it. It sometimes
seems to us, that the more the people are
robbed and plundered. the better they like
it. The case is fagrant-notorious-- d
yet it has not met with one word of repre-
hepsion from the radical press. It is the
wanton and illegal expenditure of the public
money in this way that builds up mountain
high the annual expenses of the government
and which is sorely expressing the people
and crushing them as between the upper and
