We take the following from the Cou'
rier-Journal of September 9th:
The national expenditures for August
ou tside of payments on account OF the
public debt were nearly twenty-five
millions of dollars, which is at the rate
Of three hundred millions a year for
current expenses. Is such rate of ex-
peuditure neededi Is it indispensable
Is it consistent with economyf Is 1T TO
continue indefinitely if the party IN
power shall remain in poweri
We hear a great deal of Radical BOAST
ing about the reduction ofexpenses' out
we can see no ground fer such boasting'
A few clerks, male and female, have
beeu turned out of the departments at
Washington, more from partisan resent
meats undoubtedly than from any
actual desire to economist, but this
amounts virtually to nothing. When
the Secretary of the Treasury shall
make his report, and when Congress
shall enact extensive deficiency bills
Radical lips will probably be sealed fol
a time upon the subject ofretrenchment
Where is it pretended that the expenses
have been essentially and substantially
reducedi Has the army been cut down
uuder GRANT, as we were so loudly and
vauntingly promised that 1T should be
Are not the military expenses vastly
aggravated by the keeping up OF almie'
in various parts of the South to hoio
in accursed bondage a people far more
disposed to be at peace and to obey the
laws, oppressive asthese may be- thar
the people of the North are to tolerate
any measure of equal justice whatever
Do We see any reduction OF the Navy
| Has not one OF our ships of war, de
tached from the public service, beer
used for nearly three months by tht

expense of a thousand dollars day tC
the Government? Are the civil ant
Automatic services less full than they
were, Did our foreign Ministers evel
before have half SO large diplomatic
families as they have now Is no
SICKLEs' diplomatic family enough tt
remind one of BRIGHAM YOUNG's per
sonal family Notwithstanding th'
heavy salaries of our Ministers at TIT
chief Courts of Europe, if treaty is tt
be negotiated with a foreign power,
postal treaty with France, for instance
is not an extra diplomatic functlonarl
sent out at heavy expense to negotiate
it, the resident Minister having in III,
meanwhile nothing at all to do'
For years the Radical party has been
busy in the summer months in bOasting
of its financial reforms and retrenoh-
ments, and its first business every win
ter has been to pass large deficiency
bills. At every session, such bills take
precedence of everything else. We
shall see this thing repeated next win
ter. The Radical leaders hide the truth
as loEg as they can, but they have to let
little of it out at last in order to get
the needed money.

Father Grant.

Father GRANT having complained
abeut an article in the Cincinnati Com
mercial (RadicaD, in which he was
rasped keenly for meddling in public
appointments, that journal repeats the
operation in this wise: "Father GRANT
has been boastful of his influence with
the administration, and has had an In
fluence which he has used with great
indiscretion. He has been used by de-
signing men to get fayors from persons
high in authority, and has been laughed
at by those who have used him. He
has just made himself ridiculous by his
iucoherent talk to reporter who took
notice of his conversation with the pur-
pose of ridiculing him. If this will
have the effect of keeping him out OF
public business, it will be an excellent
thing, for his bother about offices in
this part of the country is bore"

THE MAN WHO EATS.

John p. Ballard still spreads bolln-
teous board and it is not less delight
than of yore to dip into his solid sugar
bowls and draw refreshment from his
pitchers of green and gold. Messrs.
Jones and jenkins are ever ready to
accommodate the weary traveller with a
comfortable room and clean, delicious
springfield, Edmond and Charles will
see that you lack nothing while you
lodge on their floors. In a word, it is
''good, dry thing" TO be at Billiards..
But we miss at Billiards. the interest
ing cid party never lacking in North
ern hotels; to wit, the Man Who Eats
"a stoutly built ancient of some sixty
strong summers, with coarse whiskers,
unbounded digestion, dyed hair, an ain
pie waist coat, perfect health and pro-
voking patience. See him at breakfast.
He sits back, serene and slow, in the
thlck OF his dishes and goblets. A dish
of fish, dish of steak, dish of chop, a
dish of ham, dish of outlet, goblet OF
ice-milk, goblet of ice-water, a goblet
Office tea, goblet of soft-6oiled eggs, a
cup of coffee, and half dozen plates Of
rolls, toasts, cakes, etc. And there he
sits and eats and enjoys, and enjoys
and eats, slowly, eh so slowly, serene

PHOSPHORUS DIET-1Ts EFFECT.

A friend of ours, who lived about two
miles from, town, hearing that phos-
phorus was good for the brain and that
fish contained much phosphorus, sent
to Alexandria tor half barrel OF cod,
on which he lived exclusively for two
weeks. AZ the end of that time, he
found himself in the act of solving the
Problem of the Universe, and Throwing
up his hand, as was natural, he began
to get at the final result by scratching
his head, when, to his extreme mortifi-
cation, he went off like Diamond
State Parlor Match. He burnt rapid
" down to the roof of his mouth, when
his tongue commenced spittii G the fire

him. But yesterday, it seems, and we

the long warm afternoon, conversing
pleasantly the while. 1t was a pleas

a lofty nature his. And now -
Venable was one of those exception

become quickly and warmly attached.
He was, we think, truly good man.

The last contains even more than the
usual quantity of well selected music of
various kinds, and we dare assert that
not the most exactlng subscriber would
have made so unreasonable a demand
as to ask tor more. Particular mention
should have been made of an article in
the June number entitled "Style, En-

FAME.

A year or so ago the writer Of this
published pamphlet sketch of the life
and character of John NJ. Daniel, the
gifted editor of the Richmond Exami-
ner. The pamphlet sold very well in
Richmond and Baltimore, but of 20
copies sent 70 Charlottesville, the seat
of the University OF Virginia, not one
was sold; of 20 sent to Stanton, not
one was sold of 25 sent to Lexington,
five were sold ; and the newsdealers in
Richmond were told that none could be
sold in the Southern cities. Such is
fame F; but whether the facts bear hard
er upon Daniel or upoh Bagby it would
be hard to tell.

WOMEN AND TEA.

We have often wondered at the OK
cessive fondness Of the female sex for
tea. Perhaps the explanation will be
found in a sentence III the following ex-
tract from the Tribune.
A fish diet seems deficient in the ele-
ments which impart vigor and vitality,
and Dr. Johnson long ago observed that
no people could live long on fish. Tea
is supposed toshave decided influence
to increase the number of births, and il
this is true it may help to explain why
China is so populous. Early marriages
are also favorable for an Increase OF
population and for the abundant reason
that economical and careful habits are
soon established, and the moral and re-
ligious sentiments receive an early and
natural development,

SHARPLY PUT.

The auther of Prometheus in ATTAIN
tls. writing to the editor of the imperl-
alist, says;
Once q very large percentage OF our |
voting population were honest and ln-
tellieent mehs and our politics took |
character accordingly. Now; no cuitl-
waited 0eptleman votes at all the fieh
are venal, vulgar, or indifferent; and
the extension of the franchise has add
ed to the electoral body weakness and
ignorance in ratio quite as great as
shat in which its morality has decayed
and its culture fled. These in a Re
public are fatal signs. Sick Republics
never get well; their life must be per-
feet to be maintained at all. In pop
u!ar state, when the government is cor
rupt the people are corrupt; for they
are the government. In States where
the relation of government and people
is less intimate, q corrupt administra-
ton may be to the entire body polite
| only as boil upon the surface; but Re-
pablics corrupt government means rot
| tenness and gangrene in every 1lDfe-
| History tails to tell us of any people
| that ever recovered their public virtue
when once il is lost; and in our case IL
is easy to see that every jemorallzing
agency is growing stronger and more
reckless, and the safeguards of society
fewer in number and feebler in energy,
that no evil is removed and new ones
are constantly added; and that with
perils thIcKening around us at every
step, both our capacity and our dispo-
sition to deal with them wisely are
hourly diminishing.
A little further on, we find the fol-
lowing dolorous conclusions, to which
no doubt, every earnest thinker has Of
ten been driven wien reflecting upon
the moral disintegration of the age.
do not know that Monarchy has
ever saved so much as one really NOR
ibund State; know that it has never
saved Il diving civilization or society.
There are evils for which no change of
government can be Il remedy, and ours
are ofthat character. What Monarchy
: can cure and what it cannot cure de-
rends upon the nature of the disease.
What good would our Empire do us II
. we poisoned our Empire as we have
done our Republic? 1t would still be
; only rottenness and corruption, eve
: as was that other Empire Whief

: Conclusively, and more than all, there
: is no way ofarlivlng at the Empire ex
1 cent through anarchy. The people
e will have to be driven to it by dires

a complete dissolution of society. It'll
n not therefore, unwise or ignoble to pre-
: dict and labor for the Empire; but, con
siderad as means of safety, the Empir
is first impracticable and then futile.
