BUCHANAN AND GRANT-A CON-
TRAST,

y iayuritc am,lScmrnt--it cannot be
}styIr'l an argumvnt~ INDUCED in by
tho Democratic press, in comparing the
expenses Of Buchanan administration
with that Of Gen. Grant. They make
the expenses Of 1860 to have been $685.
800 ooo. while they state the cost now
to SlGG.GO0, G22 This results from
the manner Of putting the case. and the
kind Of items included. The facts are
that the ordinary expenses Of the gov
eminent arc but mere triile greater
than in 1860 The actual appr"pria-
tions for civil and miscellaneous cxpen-
SEES the past year were sG9,45S,76o.77,
Al i the actual amount appropriated for
the same purpose in 1860. was SCI
002: 773?2 90. Nor let any one calculate
the present depreciation Of the currency
and compare it with the coin payments
in Buchanan $ time, and add a mere
trinc Of extra cost for the vast growth
and expansion Of the country, and ho
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 term was the most expen-
sivc ever known in any age Of the coun-
try. Buchanan's administration cost
war which the least courage or energy
would have prevented. Buchanan
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 a quarter
of 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. 1t cost two million orphaned
children. It cost disrupted foreign re:
lations, the destruction Of commercial
supremacy on the seas, and the ruin of
immeasurable interests on the land.
And yet the paltry dollars expended
by imbccility, or stolen by traitors, arc
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,
Indebtedness, and ruin his folly
wrought! A few charges of canister
poured into mobs at the right moment
would have saved the terrible consc-
ouences that followed for four fearful
years. The present taxation and debt
are Democratic bequest, and we
should think the party cheek would
Jingle with shame when they refer to
Buchanan's administration as any evil
dence of any wisdom on any subject.

Educational.

The National Teachers Association
has lust closed it's seventh annual scs-
sion, and its effects upon the country
will prove one Of the most important
events Of the present year. All the
departmcnts Of Education-proper-"
were represented in that body. Some
Of the rirest scholars in America were
there, and participated in the work Of
the occasion. The representations Of
the College and Of the Common school
met and took counsel each OF the other
and the result will be a closer reunion
of all the educational forces OF inc
conntrv and an increased vitality II
every department of the work. 1nos'
conscientious unwcarying labors for hu
manity deserve hearty sympathy an'
earnest cooperation. Into their hands
and under their influence, do We place
our children, and the character whlcl
they will thus acquire, will be "mn'p"tcn
for GOOD or evil. There is no hiShc
responsibility than that which rests upo
the educators of the youth of America
ard they are entitled and ought to re
,sive the highest consideration

To MAKE ROME HAPPY.-Io make
home happy, there should be no con-
cealments; for they are the cankcr'
worm. Let woman tell her troubles
and folles freely to her husband, and
he will assist her out Of them. He is
her other self, and not her judge and
m.Ster. If a man confidc in his wife,
ncr penetration and quick wit will often
see things that escape him. We arc
in the world all day; our minds are
occupied by many details; but she
sits at homc, often alone, or with but
an infant companion. She thinks over
what her husband has told her, and sees
it in many lights she has had the time
which he wanted. The discovery that
there has been a secret, excltcs jcal'
ousy ond looscns the ties Of affection
on either side. Without perfect and
entire confidence, married happiness is
seldom lasting.
