Grants Economy.

Grants economy Is one OF the perennial themes
of Radical editors and orators.
In 1860 there were 49s postoffices IN the Uni
ted States costing $Go6d.O O62 per annu". An aver
age Of $2l3 for each one
In 1870. the number OF postoffices were fewer.
but only by SIR; they cost $l2 ll4,ls4 pc, annum.
All average OF 1925 for each one, Grant thus doub-
ling the average cost within a dollar!
Although there were fewer Indians to take care
Of ia 1871 than there were IN 1866 (44.O2l by
sus of 1860 and 2573l by census OF 1870; though
the existence of railroads the pains has III,
mlninhed the cost Of transportation, and the ap-
prec,stion OF the currency has increased the pnr.
chasing power Of money. yet the expenses Of the
Indian department have Increased from 81. ,OV
IN 1856 to e742GooO in 1871 or in the ratio Of l2f

dangerous where il is drank in large quantities

Hon. J. T. Farnsworth, of Illinois. has long
recognized as one Of the ahlest ieadera Of the
Republican party. He abandons, Grant for the
very best OF reasons. He says:
l have been a member OF Congress thirteen
years, and truth compes me to say that during
that period the most wasteiul and extravagant
use OF public money, and the least accountability
Of those who have disbursed, have been during
the present administration. There and will
be no genuine civii-service reform under this ad-
ministration. The feeble apparent efforts which
haze been made in;that direction are . atandng
joke in Washington among the chief frlends of
the Administration, and have only tncreased the
methods Of show not TO do A." Indeed, when
they declare that the administration is in favor
of this much needed reform, it is done with a

be 20 termed, which the Marshal has for some

forward an assured though slow success. And
the same genial and simple habits Of life and con-
slant devotion to his soldiers duties which en-
dear him to the troops have extended his popu-
larity far beyond their ranks 1t Is well known
that when the Commune fell the Marshal at once
insisted ON rcsgning the vast command which
had fallen into his hands, and only remained at
the head of the army at Paris at the personal In
stance of the President, who pressed his contnu-
ance in his post as duty to their common coun-
try. That discontented deputies should con-
stanty look to this distinguished soldier when
seeking counterpoisc to the "cminent man"
who checks their will Is very natural. But Nth

shown how to keep his professional services

A dangerous counterfeit, purportina to be le-
gal tender Of the denomination Ut 5000, was re-
ceived at the United States treasury last week
It is composed OF i've different genuine notes OF
various denominations. The centre is part OF a
500 note, with the zone" taken out OF tho centre
and upper border and "Kve" neatly inserted
The left hand lower end contains the portrait OF
Andrew Jackson from q FIVE dollar note. The
scroll work containing the figures $500 has been
taken from q national bank note. The back OF

has no resemblance to the note Of the depomina-
tion Of which it purports to be an issue.

c,,me-now shall 1t be Checked

cr,me-How shall 1t be Checked :?
Judge Fullerton in his opening address, IN
the trial of Stokes, for the murder offisk, which
Is now in progress IN New York, made several
sllusions, which meet with general approval
In calling the jury's attention TO the lawlessness
of,he times and the frequency Of homicide cases
he said the question now prominent was'whe'her
criminals should be arrested. and when arrested,
whether they should be properly punished, and
q stop pnt to bloodshed. Bal men now regard
the law Furnishing murder as PLAYED out and II
this state Of things is permitted to 60 on anarchy
must by the necessary result. 1t is to be hopeo
that the time has come when justice will every
where be rigidly me,ed out to the lawless' who
seem to think they can act with perfect impun'
ity, a it is lclear that nothin. Else will check
The deeds Of blood that now di .race the civili'
Eatioc Of the age.
There u no possible way to check the apparent
Increase and tendency 10 great crimes, but to IN
culcaas religion and inflct punishment. II the
dread Of punishment here and hereafter Will not
suiace, then there is no remedy. Delaware has
an abiding confidence In the determined upright
ness Of her citizens as jurors, and the purity and
armness Of her Judiciary and prosecuting ofacers
But nevertheless crime seems to grow apace, a'
times, in spite of all our morality and severity
But what would be the state Of society we're VIZ
without our wholesome restraints we can only
Judge by the terrible condition in which we fine
