A Generous democrat.

The marked example of generosity pre-
scented by one Of our leading New York
Democrats has not met with solitary imita-
tor in the ranks of the Radical patriots
They are willing to serve the people so long
as that service can be made to subseryc their
own interests. but no longer. We do not
say that there are none who labor without
salary, but we do say that We have not heard
of one who has voluntarily given up the
emoluments Of his Office and placed them in
the public treasury, as has been done by the
Hon. B. Sweeney. City Chamberlain
Since he entered upon his official duties he
has paid about one hundred and forty thou
sand dollars into the City Treasury, to which
he was entitled by custom, and which in the
case his predecessors was always regarded
as official perquisites. For the generous
spirit of selfabnegation which dictated this
remuneration of claim which has always, in
every case but his own, been enforced, Mr.
Sweeney has won the enduring respect and
esteem Of his fellow citizens and reflected a
brighter lustre on the great party of which
he is deservedly regarded as one of the most
efficient and influential leaders. Metropolis

How Much 1t Costs to Run the White House

The New York Herald's Washington cor

Modern economy is an expensive luxury.
just examine one specimen. Under An
drew johnson there was very clever off,
clal, named Cushaw. who acted as grand
usher to the President For 81 600 year
he consented to take the whole White House
on his shoulders. For that modest sum he
was content to bear the abuse Of countless
visitors and to repay all with uniform polite
ness and courtesy How is it under Presi-
dent Grant There is Dent. full Brigadier,
with salary of $4,000 per annum, Crook
receiving 81 600; Price. 81 600; young
Douglass, $4,000; Adams (not Geo. W,
but another man, $1,000; Simmonds. a
gentleman Of color, $50, per month, for SIM
ply bearing cards of visitors from the emf
nently polite Dent to the Presidents private
office. All these officials combined discharge
the duty which Cushaw monopolized under
President johnson In other words. it now
requires $13, $3.50 to accomplish the labori-
GUS business of attending the White House
visitors, while it only cost $1,000 under
johnson. There is nothing like economy"
Through this long army Of officials, it is
said to be harder work to see the President
of the United States than to have an inter
view with the Queen of England. Briga-
der General, DENT, acting as Grand Cham
berlain, allows none to see brother ''LYssUs"

ought to be favorably passed upon. For

The Wheat.

The wheat crop thus far stands well but
a wheat crop is never certain until it is
housed. Samples of heads have been album
dainty exhibited, but we have only seen one
sample Of the matured grain. That was
brought to this Office yesterday by Mr.. G..
B. LUCK, late of Rockingham, N c., but
now of the Spotswood Hotel. This was of
the italian white" introduced by Mr..
GEORGE W. DElrz, proprietor Of the expe-
rimental seed farm near Chambersburg, Pa.
This wheat was exhibited at the Agricultu-
raj Fair at Danville last fall, and Mr.. LUCK
then purchased few bushels It has pro-
duced finely. The crop amounts to some
400 bushels. 1t is a wheat adapted to
southern ATTITUDES ripens two weeks earlier
than other wheat; the grains are large and
round, and DE1rz says four and half BUSH
els will produce barrel Of -four This
wheat will not suit the northern latitudes.-
If what is said of it be true, it will prove an
excellent wheat for Virginia. Mr.. LUCK
has sold his crop at five dollars per bushel
for seed
Mr.. Luck also exhibited some remarka-
bly, fine heads Of the American and WEEKss
white-both bearded. We have rarely seen
heads so long and so well filled They are
from seed introduced by DE1rz. In each
case five hundred grains have produced
abou. two bushels.-Dispotch.

The Fredericksburg Herald saws ::

There have been more parties in this vi
cinity within the last thirty days than at
any other period since the close of the war,
and not sale has been reported, and the
reason assigned by the land buyers them
selves is that they want to see whether the
negro is to dominate in Virginia, tax their
lands to pay them salaries and support their
idleness, OR the State to be under the rule of
the white class.
Therefore, let every true Virginian vote
against the proposed constitution If the
expurgated constitution be adopted, we shall
have negro domination in every locality in
the State where the negroes are more nu-
mcrous than the whites. This question,
therefore, of constitution or no constitu-
tom overrides all others, no matter how
the attempt may be made to sink it and make
it subordinate one.
Therefore, we reiterate, let every white
man in the State deposite his ballot against
the proposed constitution against the claus
es to be submitted separately, and then
against the remaining provisions. -Peters-
burg Enp,ess.
