The AS5sts preIends to tell us where '.tbe
shoe pinches" in Mr.. Blaine's case. 1t has
found "corn" which chafes. No doubt of if.
The real 'pinch" is, that Mr.. Blaine is one of
the leading members of the Republican party.
whose popularity cannot be shaken by its at
tacks and so maintains his standing with his
constituency that his majority in September
will be overwhelming.
With this power and popularity he stands
by the principles on which the Republican
party is grounded,-and gives such BODY
blows to the pseudo Democracy of the present
day, as to well-nigh knock the wind out of its
depraved bo1y. That is what ails the Arous.
A potential defender of the right is in the
way, and, with the vildness of despair it at
tempts to undermine his integrity, but by
blows SO weak and Intellectual as TO cause
laughter end grief in about equal proportions
IN the ranks of its followers. Let the Arous
IRE away. 1t draws no blood and wounds
none but those of its own housebold

ANOTHER CoMPARIsoN.-We have thus
far, in considering our national expenditures
compared 1860, the most favorable year o.
Buchanan, with the first and necessarily most
-unfavorable year of President Grant. Taking
into account the whole four years the case is
much less favorable to the former, and will
undoubtedly be much more so for the latter
The average of the ordinary expenditures
during Buchanan's administration was at
least S65 100000 annually in gold. The Or
binary expenditures OF President Grants first
year were, as we showed yesterday, but $780,
100000 in gold and constantly diminishing. 1t
is liberal estimate to place the average fol-
Grants administration at S90,OO0,0O0 in gold
thus showing that under Republican rule the
expenses of the Government increase at any
rate no faster than population, while under
Democratic administrations for forty years
past they have in no period of ten years
increased less than p per cent. faster than
population.

litical capital. 1t discovers, in its last peep
that Mr.. B. several years ago paid SIS house
rent, per annum, and that be bought a house
at particular period, and not at another par
ticuiar period. To-day's issue of that deligh
full investigator, viii perhaps inform us, how
much Mr.. B. paid per pound for tea about the
time lie entered Congress, and whether he
now uses cheap black tea, or an expensive
green. This industrious Tom should push
his investigations into the closets of Mr.. b. Is
house as rapidly as possible Or he will not be

II he should have time, and gets through
with Mr.. b. in season, the publ, perhaps
would be delighted to know what grade OF
coffee the editor of the argus drank few

per pound; aud also what he paid the old wo-
man who lighted his fires about thai time.
Questions OF such thrilling importance as this

extended to the Utmost verge Of the pot clos

gator to attend to it. Rush on, Tom. You

Gar New Admiral.

No man in our naval service is more worthy
to receive the mantle of Admiral Farragut
than David ID. Porter. Throughout the war
his energetic and skillful cooperation con-
tiibuted in no small degree to those successes
which have made the name of Farragut i'm
mortal, and his promotion to the place made
vacant by the death of the latter is a fitting
recognition of the eminent services he has
rendered the country. He is native of
Pennsylvania and is son of David Porter,
who as commander of the Essex won renown
for himself and his country in the war of
1912. He therefore possesses inherited as
well as acquired naval genius.
He was appointed midshpman in 1929, as
lieutenant saw active service IN the Mexican
war, and was appointed 10 the rank of com
mander April 22nd, 1851. He commanded
the mortar feet fitted out to cooperate with
Admiral Farragut In his attack upon the de-
lenses of New Orleans. He displayed great
energy in fastening the sailing of these YES
sells, and when Farragut arrived at the South
west Pass, Porter's vessels were at their sta
tons and ready to commence the attack. In
the operations which ended in the surrender
of the Forts and the capture of New Orleans
he bore prominent part, and received the
surrender of the forts and coast delenses.
From this time until July 1862 he remained
in command of the mortar flotilla, actively,
zealously and efficiently cooperating with
Admiral Fauagut in his operations on the
Mississippi from New Orleans TO Vicksburg.
He was soon after appointed Acting Rear Ad-
miral and ordered to the command of the
Mississippi Squadron, in which position he
displayed wonderful fertility of resources
He rendered invaluable aid in the siege of
Vicksbrg, and his mortar fleet were forty
days without intermission throwing shells in
to the city and even into the works beyond
it. He participated in nearly all the opera
tions on the Mississippi till 1864 when he was
ordered to the command of the North Allan
tic Blockadlng Squadron. He did his part in
the first attack on Fort Fisher, and il was
owing to his recommendation that the enter
prise was resumed undsr more fitting mill
tary commander. AT the second attack forty
four vessels poured an incessant fire into the
fort, and with the aid thus rendered, Gen.
Terry carried the works by assault
Since the war Re has bestowed unremitting
attention upon the naval service. He has not
escaped detraction however-and some re-
Elections upon him which not long since in
adverteutly ciept into our columns did him
injustice as we are satisfied By investigation.
In lsG6 Admiral Porter was appointed SUI
perintendent of the Naval Academy at An
napolis, which institution, under his excellent
management acquired the highest standing.
As man who was prominent actor in the
suppression Of the rebellion, and who has adj
ded greatly to the naval renown of his coun-
try, he has lasting claims to be remembered
and honored by his counirymen.
