 Since the adjournment of Congress, polite
 ians are quiet. much ro the relief of the peo-
 ple. who are becoming convinced hat Congress has been engaged in game of humbug. There
 was the humhug of squelrhipS out the frank ing privilege and the other one of reducing the taxe,. while increasing the sum of the
 expenditures. This latter Judge Trumhull
 exposed. He sail openly, that the bringing m
 of deficiency bills, at the close of the fiscal
 year. indicated that the show of economy ,n cutting down the appropriation bills, haG been
 a mere pretenSe. Mr. Trumbull sho wed that 1t cost seven per cent. more io collect inc sur
 plus revenue for the fir>t half 'i this. than the first half of last year, and that the excess ut 9 appropriations asked fo? tu collect custom l revenue. for the present year, was nearly n
 million dollars greater than that asked for last
 year. And so t has been with everything,
 and in every department The appropriations
 are never suffi lent, and deficiency bills have Q become regular appendage of every appro- - priaton. The fact l., and 1t will be seen by
 the people, who will, by-and by, rise in rebel
 lion against so greedy and interruptions a scl

 are mainly interested tu extort from he pco- e pie, by taxes, their wealth, anl divide it uT , among themselves, and their infamous cunire J rtr. ueTe S no s'utIlt, bpNcNtf Use e>-, bu'

 ' A word OF two in regard to this place, an,
 the West generally.
 at This town is exceedingly dull at present pf It grew prematurely, and is now passing il ,o era of stunt. Omaha has the reputation .
 being a "Smart place. It is, il We ma P judge liom external appearances, for ab"u CT every other house, and they are mostly wood s, en, and of the >hanty style, iS grug shop, Q S. as they are "sgnch,H saloR. The balanc sl seem to he ticker offices, or real estate
 off 'es. The hotels are irst-clas> in regard t ," prices but most eXecriblc in regard tu far, 'n The bridge across the river at this pnint, in progressing slowly, and at present rates wi le not be completed in years-if ever Ca,
 iron tubes for huimeufs have to be sunk owe 'e eighty feet to find bedrock.
 Of course every western town expects [ en be the chosen spot for the Capitol, when i 
 m, will be. The whole thing of remaining q
 removal will be determined ny money 'e- those interested in it's remaining where it i at can pay more thanih hose who wish i, reinpve, les including those who expect to make milin
 out of the iob of moving, il will not hudge a - inch. There are large interests in cuiitectiu '" win it's present location, an immense rapiii ''- East. But ilie tiue is not far distant whe Ie the West will have nut only the numbers lou
 the wealth also. Its removal is therefore eel a tain, and the only question Is one of time,
 it seems to me.
 "' Crops in the West are very fine, on t or whole. The corn crup prOmiese tn be unusr oi ally large The agricultural interests of ti ". West are ina very prosperous condition, an / should there be a large foreign demand f. H produce, it will give an impulse to all tue il be terests of the rapidly growing West. VI NACABoND.
