| The last Democratic administration that
was in full power in this country under Pres-
dent Buchanan spent for the objects en-
braced in this schedule something over
seventy millions per annum in gold-an equiv
alent in paper to-day Of eighty-fve millions
of dollars The population OF the country
was then less than thirty millions. 1t is now
forty millions, so that President Grant would
be entitled by the ratio which has always
governed expenditure in this country, to spend
a third more in the administration Of the
Government than was required under
Buchanan, and that would bring the sum
total to one hundred and fourteen millions OF
dollars when in reality it is but one hundred
and FIVE millions. And the details OF ex-
penditure in the two periods will show inn
mensely in favor of President Grants econo-
my. Under President Buchanan the army
consisted of nineteen regiments, and yet its
maintenance cost for the four years OF the
administration an average of over twenty
one millions each year-more than million
dollars per anum in gold or about thirteen
hundred thousand dollars in the paper money
of to-day for each regiment: The army at
present consists of forty regiments and yet
its whole maintenance for the year costs but
twenty mine millions of dollars, trife over
seven hundred thousand dollars in paper
money to each regiment.
have selected the Army merely because
comparison in that branch of the public SER
vice is easy and the result palpable. The
same statement is true in all the other depart
ments of the government, and if the limits l
have assigned to this letter permitted it,
could readily demonstrate that under rcpub-
can administration the national expenditure
has been far more carefully guarded and rig
ed economy far more carefully consulted
than under preceding democratic administra-
tions The amounts expended have necessa-
rly been very large and the temptation to ex-
travagance thus greatly enhanced, and hence
THE adherence to severe economy and stric
accountability is all the more praiseworthy
and honorable.

Harvard College lately made an experiment

Harvard College lately made an experiment
in the penny wise and pound foolish lire,
with result entirely unlocked for. Welch,
Bgelow q Co., proprietors of the University
Press at Cambridge, have done the printing
fer the college for many years in very cred
table manner, charging for the same fair
rates for the style Of work done, and we pre-
sumo, making fair profit, but the expenses
OF the college were to be cut down, and as
little money could be saved by getting the
printing done at a cheaper office, it was re-
moved from the University Press. Mr..
Wech, recently deceased, who had been an
earnest friend of the institution for many
years, and had manifested his kindly feelings
in many tangible forms, was so much grievaIi
and hurt by this treatment tina. he had his
will altered and arnuled bequest of $25, 900
that he had made to the college. And now
the mourning of the economists of Harvard is
heard in the land.

AN AMUSING SCENE ON A SOUTHERN RAIL
wAY.-The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle vouches
for the truth of the following incident:
Last Saturday morning Senator Simon
cameron, of Pennsylvania, left this city for
Savannah. President Bridgers, of the Will
mingtor, Columbia and Augusta railroad,
had arrived in Augusta about the same time,
on his elegant special car, ON his way to At
lanta, and, learning that Senator Cameron
was going TO Savannah, courteousIy placed
his car at the disposal of the Senator and his
family. The offer was accepted, and the
coach attached to the day train on the Au-
gusta and Savannah railroad. As luck would
have it, there happened TO be a radical politi-
cal meeting at Waynesboro ON that day, and
several negroes and few white men were
gong down from this city to attend it. One
of the negroes, forgetting that he was in Geor-
gla and not in South Carolina, very coolly
took seat in the ladies' car instead of the
equally comfortable coach the company pro-
vides on all its train for the accommodation of
colored people. As soon as the conductor
discovered this he requested the sable citizen
to leave the car, and upon his refusing to do
SO, elected him, after stout resistance, from
the coach. Senator Cameron heard the dis
turbance, and discovering the cause, invited
the elected negro to take a seat with him in
his special car. A good many other negroes
were also invited INTO the car and introduced
by Senator Cameron to his family, and re-
quested to ride with them down to Waynes-
boro. or course the colored citizens were
too highly tickled not to accept the invitation,
and the Senator, his family, and colored
guests mingled lovingly until the cars stopped
at the Waynesboro station.

SECRET TELEGRAPH LlNEs,-The Prus-
slams are said to have discovered, and to have
destroyed Immediately, an underground line
of telegraph between Paris and Tours. An
other such line, as yet undiscovered by enc
mics, is said to exist between Paris and
Brussels. The attention of the British gov
-ernment has haan oallad tn tha- establishments
OF some such system of secret teegraphy, by
which outposts of a defensive military sys-
tenn and its headquarters may be placed in
direct communication beyond the reach of
spies, traitors, or the chances of destruction
BY a shell. 1t is suggested, for instance, that
cables could be sunk in machine-made slit
in the land and sea bottom, at such depth
that no ordinary amount of graphing would
disturb them. These could then be secretly
lead, under highways and byways, by a round
about course to the desired point. And, fur
ther than this, such secret system might be
ofgreat international or colonial Importance in
summoning the aid of allies and colonists to the
threatened point. In conformity to the spirit
Of the age submarine telegraph cables in fu-
ture should be known only to the central
government. Those at present laid could be
destroyed in night, and, even if declared
neutral in war, could not be protected from
the malignity of home and foreign enemies.
