The statistics of pauperism in Eng
land are frightful. On the first of
January last the number of persons in
receipt of relief from the poor rates in
England and Wales was 981, ,042, or
one in twenty-three of the population;
Of the number sixteen per cent were
receiving indoor relief and thirty-four
per cent outdoor relief. The most
significant part of the figures is that
of the pauper population 1852 are
able-bodied adult males and 144, ,247
able.bodied adult females.

A E,EI W MORE FIGURES.

We certainly are thankful that the
Army and Navy have been reduced
in size since the year 1868 that
they are less burdensome to the ma
ton, ut least in pecuniary sense,
and that the money which might
have been lavished on idle ships and
idle regiments remains in the Treas
ury. We rejoice that the country
has been prosperous, the revenue
large, the debt diminished, and the
nations credit sustained but when
we are called upon to give President
Grant, or even the Republican Con-
gress. credit for these blessings, we
respectfully demur. There is mid
die ground between an economical
and corrupt administration. Econ
omy is positive quslity. To ad-
minister great public trust with
wise economy is not simply tn alb
stain from embezzling the frauds
If the claim which is put forth in
support of the economy of the Presi-
dent and Congress has any founda-
ton, we are to look for it in the Or
dinary matters over which the Presi-
dent and Congress have CONTROL
Had the Government maintained
the Army and Navy on a war foot
ing, they would have committed an
outrage. Much money has been
saved by reducing the military and
naval establishments, but whether
more could not be saved we have no
means of knowing. We wish to find
out whether or not the Grant Ad-
ministration has been economical,
and to do this we must select proper
objects for comparison.
The expenses of Congress itself
seem to fulfill this requirement.
Now we find that the cost Of the
XLth Congress, from June 30, 1867,
to June 30, 1869, was Sc, ,651, ,074, in
Guiding books, and that Of the XLIst
Congress from June 80, 1869, to
June 80, 1871. was $11, ,923,042. We
find no evidence of economy here
but, on the contrary, startling in
crease in the bill. We are at q loss
to conceive what we had for all these
millions. It scarcely seems possible

that the ALlst Congress was worth
five millions more than the XLth.
Next we will compare the cost of
the Executive Department. Under
this head are embraced the salaries
of great number Of ofice-holders,
including nearly all the big and lit
tie officials at Washington. We are
told that Johnson's administration
was notoriously prodigate, and it is
commonly believed that Grant is
immensely less expensive than john
son was. Yet we find that the last
two years of Johnson's administra-
ton consumed $780, ,220, while the
first two of Grants run up to $751;
709,4S2. The latter sum does not
include two millions expended for
compiling the census returns. The
Judiciary, too, increased their ex-
penses from $3.50, $3.50 in 1868, to
$5,931, 1862 in 1SG9-71. Neither in
the Legislative, executive, or Judiciary
departments, do we find the Grant
administration less expensive than
Johnson's.
The mint, assay Offices and SUBJ
treasures, which cost $2,291, ,055 in
1863, rise to $2,944,S77 in 1861.
Foreign intercourse, including sala-
ries of ministers and consuls, was
maintained at an expense of $780,
$40 in 1868, and of $3,095, $50 in
1S69-71. johnson collected the GUS
tdms for $14,543,44S in 1S69-71 !;
Grant for $14,S02,52S. The Indians
were experimental with for about
$1O,000,00O for the two years by
both administrations. Forts and
Notifications, river and harbor inn
provements, public buildings and re-
pairs of buildings, absorbed $14,-
574, 4,7G3 in 1863, and $1G,420, ,191
in 18G9-7l. But we will not weary
the reader with details. We make
the broad statement that there is
nothing in the official reports of
Government expenditures from 1867
to the latest issue to countenance in
the slightest degree the boast of
superior economy which is so boldly
made by the partisans Of Gen. Grant.
1t is not an easy matter for great
and unwieldly Government, such as
that of the United States has now
become, to make progress in the di-
rection of economy. For the last
three years, leaving out of the ac-
count the Army and Navy, the pro-
gress has been the other way. With
the Presidents peculiar management
of the Civil Service and the subser-
viency Of Congressman, what else
could be expected Let us hear no
more, then, of this false pretense Of
economy as an argument for q Sec
ond term of personal government.

When the entire North was excit-

the following manly letter +:
OFFICE OF THE TRIBUNE,

My Dear Sri have yours of the

lily concur with your view Of what

Only let the late insurgents join with
us in saying slavery is no more, and
I think we shall gradually mould the
public will to our views. just now
the assassination of President Lin

not hesitate to labor and suffer re-
proach in the service of HeaUen bless

of the men. The Gentle men tuck
ed the arms Of their pretty wives
