How Much it Costs to Run the White
House.

The New York HerazRs Washing
ton correspondent is responsible for the
following
Modern economy is an expensive
luxury. Just examine one specimen.
Under Andrew johnson there was a
very clever official, named Cushaw,
who acted as grand usher to the Presi-
dent. For $1,000 a year he consent
ed to take the whole White House on
his shoulders. For the modest sum
he was content to bear the abuse of
countless visitors and to repay all
with uniform politeness and courtesy.
How is it under President Grant !
There is Dent, full Brigader, with a
salary of So, 900 per aunum Crook re-
ceiving 81, 900; Price, 81, 800 young
Douglass, $4,000 /; Adams mot Geo.
W., but another MANI, 81, 800 Sim
monds, a gentleman of color $50 per
month for simply bearing cards of Wis
itors from the eminently polite Dent
to the Presidents private Office. All
these officials combined discharge the
duty which Cushaw mcnopolized ur-
der President Johnson. In other
words, it now requires S13, $50 to ac-
complish the laborous business of at
tending the White House visitors,
while it only cost $1,000 under John
son. There is nothing like economy"
Grants economy, like everything
else he has exhibited since the 4th of
March last, is a dead failure-but.

The War Fever.

A knot of Republican politicians
are reported to be intriguing to make
war a party issue, pledging the Re
publican party to war with England.
1t won't do. Whilst we are not in
favor of yielding one jot or title of
our rightful claims ON England, and
are strenuous on the point of honor
involved, we are strongly opposed to
going to war until all other means Of
settlement have failed, and hat we
believe to be the sentiment of the Re-
publican party. The furry in the
two countries, excited by the rejection
of the Alabama Treaty, is over, and
both sides are settling down to negoti-
atoms again with a better appreciation
of each others sentiments and a clear
or understanding of the points at issue
and the positions taken. War now
between England and the United
States would be the greatest calamity
the world has witnessed during the
present century, and should not be re-
sorted to until a peaceful settlement
Of u difficulties prove clearly i'm
possible. When that time comes we
shall declare for war, and the voice of
the whole nation will be in accord in
demanding justice at the lannon's
mouth Cleveland Herald.
This is funny. The entire Repub-
lican Press shouted "bravo," when
Gen, Grant recalled Reverdy John
son, and the Senate rejected the treaty
made by him with Great Britain.
Uncle Sam, was going to eat Johnny
Bull without salt, if he did not get

bookworm, Motley was sent as Minis
ter, in lieu of johnson ; and the frothy
quidnuncs, who surrounded our great
little President, predicted that Mr.
Bull would yield at once, or get his
head cracked. Mr.. Bull, we find, is
not in the humor of getting down on
his ''hunkers" just now. So, the

mails, that bark loudest when out of
danger, now declare they don't desire

The Indiana Outrage.

The New York Times (Radical) makes
a severe criticism upon the absurd doc
trine of Senator Morton that the two
thirds requirement in the Constitution
of Indiana only refers to the two-thirds
present of the members, whether they
have resigned or not. The Times well
says
But the view itself suffers from
two important drawbacks. In the first
place, it has the disadvantage of be-
ing, obviously, piece of special plead
ing in support of a partisan purpose ;
and being q partisan plea, with all its
clearness, it lacks cogency and moval
force. In the next place, it conflicts
with the construction hitherto put up
on the provision by both parties, and
with the reasoning relied upon at the
outset to justify the decision of the
presiding officers.
"Until the exigency for this inter
probation arose, neither party deemed
that the constitutional two-thirds
meant less than two-thirds of the whole
number of Senators and members re
spectively. Both the Senate and the
House acquiesced in this rendering in
March last, when the Democratic one
third bolted to avert a vote upon the
amendment. If Mr.. Morton's theory
is correct, the Legislature should then
have gone on with its business, regard
less of the absence of those who had
resigned their seats. And the fact
that that course was not pursued
hat the resignation of one third was
held by both parties to render the
formation OF a quorum impossible-is
prima Gacie evidence that so recently as
two months ago Mr.. Morton's version
was not entertained by his party
friends. Governor Bakers proclama-
ton in regard to the new elections
rendered necessary by the action of the
boilers, may also he cited in the same
connection. He declared legislative
business stopped by the absence ofthe
Democrats, who composed more than
one-third and by assuming this posi-
ton, the Republican Governor seems
to us to have rejected the plea urged
by the Republican Senator" u

Grants organ of acquisitives-a term

the faculty Of holding fast to what
you've got, and reaching out for more.
1t comes to him in a direct line from
the venerable Jesse r. The writer OF
this paragraph had positive proof OF
this fact last winter in Washington.
A couple of army officers stood look
ing at Jesse r. as he wishfully con-
templated the street cars on their way
down town from tie War Office. Said
one to the other, "Tll bet a bottle of
wine that the old codger is just wait
ing for some to come along and
pay his fare" agreed" said the
other, and the action was suited to the
word by the two gentlemen approach
ing the "old codger," as they called
him, and asking him if he wasn't Ego
ing down." Yes he was--he was just
',waitin' for a car" The car came
along, and the three embarked.
When the conductor appeared in pur-
suit of the inevitable six cents, Jesse
r. might have been seer fumbling in
his pockets with perspiring zeal. Fin
ally he turned to one of the officers,
and in a condition of great mental per-
turbation, remarked that he had left
his pocket book at home! Cali
right, MI. Grant, your fares paid"
said one of his companions. The of
fcers got out at the next orner The
bottle of wine was fairly won and fair
ly paid.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The Lsaaer Of this morning pronoun-
ces plainly and squarely on the ff-
tenth am ndment to the Constitution
of the United States, which authorizes
negroes to vote and hold office. 1t
says:
That amendment is d~lstinctively a
Republican measure. 1t is the most
vital issue of our politics. 1t was orig
mated and adopted by a Republican
Congress ; il has received the unqual-
flied assent of President Grant ; it has
already been ratified by a score and
more of Republican Legislatures. 1t
will become the great issue in the
coming campaign in the State of Ohio,
and we call upon the Republican State
Convention, soon to be held, to give
it a cordial and hearty support. X X
Let u convention, then, come
manfully up to the work! Let it an
nounce boldly the principle of the
canvass, which it cannot evade, even
if it desires to do so. The education
of two years has not been lost upon
the people of Ohio. The proposition
which they voted down in 1867 they
will indorse in 1869. The stone which
the builders rejected will yet become
the head of the come
In another part of the article it says
The coming contention must indorse
the Fifteenth amendment, and make its
ratification the issue IN the coming cdFa:
Puign!
We concur with the Leader that the
Republican State Convention should
by all means make the niger the
principle plank in its platform. In
fact, we cannot imagine what else there
is on which that party can stand. The
necessity for negro voting is apparent
particularly since the beauties ofnegro
suffrage have been made so manifest
in the late election i'll Washington.
We are inclined to think, however,
that the Leader overlooked the fact,
that the 18th amendment had already
been rejected by the last Legislature,
and, according to the Republican doc
trine established in reference to the
18th amendment, the action of that
body becomes a finality, and cannot
be set aside by any future Legislature.
If this doctrine should be adhered to,
the Legislature to be elected next fall
Will have nothing to do with the
amendment. If, on the contrary, the
Republican leaders should change
their base and hold differently, it will
be an admission hat the 18th amend
ment has not been legally ratified, as
Ohio, California and New Jersey re
pealed the action of former Legisla-
lures in its ratification. We hope the
Convention of the 23d of June may
follow the dictation of the Leader when
it says, 'the coming Convention must
indorse the fifteenth amendment, and
make its ratification the issue in the
coming campaign.-Phin Dealer.
Now is the time for our Republican
friends to show their devotion to the
interests of the ''nigger." Put that
plank in your platform, gentlemen, by
all means.

than nine pews from the different denom-
nations in New York City, for all those of

praisewortby, and it is to be hoped that
others who employ large number of peo-

above fact, accompanied with the belief
that a firm who would look so closely after

headwaters in 1899. At the time of his
settlement here, the nearest resident to
him was distant about eighteen miles.
Hewitt was born and raised upon the from
tier of Missouri, and was hunter in the
+ full and rounded acceptation of the word.
We knew him early and well. Among
the many hunters Of the border with
whom we have been acquainted, he alone
could have stood forth as the representa-
tive of Cooper's ideal hero Of the pioneers
He would often say to us with detected
expression Of the face : 1.-The country
will soon be overrun with settlers and all
the game driven towards the west" As
the set lements drew nearer to him, he
listened for time to the distant tinkling
of the cow-bell, and then mournfully
shouldering his rifle, turned towards the
setting sun, calling to his companions,
"Iierc pups, away dogs, yell be foot sore
afore We see the ind of your journey"
A short distance above this stream, we
meet the waters of Nagel's Branch, which
receives its name from John Nagle, who
located here about the year lS4l, being
the first settler in that part Of the county.
Mr.. Nagle is still in the occupancy of his
early location here, and has been en,in>
emily successful as practical farmer. The
little stream that bears his name, will
preserve to posterity many pleasing rem.
iniseeuces of one of Clayton's earliest
pioneers.

through liberal portion of the county Of
Fayette, plu Cos into the Volga within
the limits OF Clayton, few yards from
