BUCHANAN AND GRANT-A CON.
TRAST.

. A favorite amuscment----it cannot b.
styled an arguments INDUCED in b,
tho Democratic press, in comparing thu
lexpenses Of Buchanan's administration
with that of Gen. Grant. They make
the expenses of 1860 to have been $63,
100000, while they state the cost now
to s166,600,G22. This results from
tho manner ofputting the case, and the
kind of items included. The facts are
that the ordinary expenses of the gov.
eminent are but a mere trifle greater
than in 1860. The actual appropria.
tions for civil and miscellaneous expen-
ses the past year were S69, 458,760.77,
aid the actual amount appropriated for
the same purpose in 1860. was $751;
002,732.99. Nor let any one calculate
the present depreciation of the currency
and compare it with the coin payments
in Buchanan's time, and add a mere
triae of extra cost for the vast growth
and expansion Of the country, and he
will at once perceive that the admins
tration of President Grant, even in its
moneyed cost, is by far the cheapest
and most economical.
In the light Of the fact and history
Buchanan's term was the most expen-
sive ever known in any age of the coun-
try. Buchanan's administration cost
war which the least courage or energy
would have prevented. Buchanan's
administration cost three billions of
money direct, as much more invested in
slaves, and another amount fully equal
to the aggregate of both in the waste
and destruction Of property. Buchan-
ans administration cost FIVE hundred
thousand lives, and furnished quarter
Of a million widows and disabled SOL
diers whose names are now borne upon
the pension rolls. Buchanan's admin.
istration cost great armies, vast navies,
enormous OUTLAWS of every kind to save
the nations life, besides four years of
carnage, burnings, devastation, and
tears. It cost two million orphaned
children. It cost disrupted foreign re.
lations, the destruction of commercial
supremacy on the seas, and the ruin Of
5immeasurable interests on the land. =.
And yet tho paltry dollars expended
by imbecility, or stolen by traitors, are
put in contrast with disbursements for
the preservation Of the public credit,
and to maintain the nations honor.
How much better that Buchanan had
spent more money and saved the misery,
wretchedness, and ruin his folly
wrought! A few charges Of canister
poured into mobs at the right moment
would have saved the terrible conse-
quences that followed for four fearful
years. The present taxation and debt
are a Democratic bequest, and we
should think the party cheek would
Jingle with shame when they refer to
administration as any evil
dence of any wisdom on any subject.

up with the country" says the philo-
sophie Horace and the advice, much
as some lave ridiculed it, is still echoed
along the line of tho more intelligent of
Eastern Journals. The philadelphia
Evening Telegraph is the last to speak.
This journal is of the opinion that the
fortunes OF those WHO have emf grated
from the Eastern and Northwestern
States have been EXCHANGED as much
as the fortunes Of the main body Of the
American people have been improved
by the immigration of their ancestors
to the New World. We quote YER
batim:
There a is foolish as we'll as wise way
selectingt new home in the far West
and some anoyances and privations are
inevitable but in the entire history Of
civilization, there in no record of any
movement of large body of the human
race which, on the whole has been sc
uniformly and thoroughly successful ii
improving individual fortunes as the
movement of emigrants from Europt
and tho Atlantic States to the new
northern territories Of this Republic.
So thoroughly is this fact realized
by the bulk of the settlers Of the re
gions referred to, that they inhabitant
regard with pity not unmingled will
contempt, their old friends and associ
ates who continue to lead laborous
lives, without increasing their wealth
i'll the Atlantic States. We do not &c
sire to unsettle the minds of any VIII
are conteated with their present. lot
but it is gratifying to all who lack en-
ployment here, and to all whose pros
poets in life are unpromising. to kno1
that in nine cases out Of ten the fertil
fields of the West afford them an ere'
in which they can unquestionably ad
vance their fortunes.

A notorious character named John
Curtin has been absent from thip city
since 1868, Three indictments for horse
stealing we're found by the Grand Jury Of
our Criminal Court against Curtin; but
he preferred a trip to Texas rather than
take trip to the State penitentiary.
The night before last, Curtin reached
Memphis, and kept shady in the out
skirts of the city. Capt. Athey sent two
men out two arrest him, but Curtin, who
is desperate man, walked out of the
house with shot gun on his shoulder,
and succeeded in making his escape.
Curtin is believed to have left for Texas,
finding Memphis too hot place for him;
at least this is the reliable report from
the reliable man who can be found on
the street corners every afternoon.
