Excess Of 1871 over 1860. .......... S642 IL, 573
To this difference must be added So, 000,-
600 for the arms sold to France and credit
ed to the War Department, which would
make the real excess $73, 210,573.
1t is thus seen that the permanent FIX
penditures in corresponding conditions of
peace have much more than doubled be-
tween the two periods, which Mr.. Dawes
adopted for comparison. OF course, the
country bas grown and the expenses have
necessarily augmented in some degree, but
in no such startling ratio as is here dis
closed. From this statement is excluded
all the large sales of public property by the
different Bureaux of the War and Navy,
which have not been paid into the Treasu-
ry, but arbitrarily turned into the strong
boxes of those departments, and applied to
their uses without the knowledge of Con-
gress, or any report showing either the
amount received or the sums expended.
But there is another and memorable test
by which all sophistry may be explained,
and the tricks of falsehood brought to sum-
mary grief 1t is so simple that one of the
"charity ten-year olds," whom Lord West
bury thought could make palmer treaty
than Mr.. Secretary Fish and my Lord of
Ripon, would see through it at the first
glance. From the lst Of July, 1862 to the
lst of June, 1872, the treasury received
l,l68, 100000 from the various sources of
revenue. We have started with the com
mencement of the fiscal year in 1865, which
gives the Administration the benefit of
nearly four months OF revenue that do not
appear charged in this statement, or, in
round numbers, nearly S10O,000,OOO. Now,
they claim reduction of the public debt
between these two dates of SOB, los, 957.

What has become of this enormous sum
of money? When the interest on the pub
lie debt and the pensions are deducted there
will sill remain some 1925, 100000 tc be &C
counted for, which, distributed over three
years, would give an outlay of SIG, 100000
per annum for the ordinary expenses. And
when the Deficiencies, which are annually
voted in some form or other, and the other
contrivances for concealinE prodigslity and
corruption are considered, there is no doubt
that this sum represents about the average
cost of carrying on the Government in time
of profound peace under a Radical Presi-
dent and Cabinet. This is fair specimen

THE TRICK Of A DEmAGOGUE Elk
POSED.

MIR. Dawes, of Massachusetts, had during
the late session of Congress established
some character for fairness by his exposure
of the extrsvagant manner in which the
government has Of late been administered,
but he most effectually destroyed that cha
racter by a deliberate attempt to screen the
Grant administration from charges not at
all dissimilsr to those he had himself pre-
ferred.- just on the eve of the adjournment
OF Congress, when it was impossible TO re-
ply effectively, Mr.. Dawes published what
be called statement of the receipts and
expenditures, which the Washington Pa
triot charges was intended to mislead the
public with the false impression that the
cost of carrying on the government under
Radical rule now was scarcely greater than
in 1860, when the Democrats had the re-
sporsibility of administration. The Patriot
sustains its position as follows: The last
report of the Secretary of the Treasury
(pages 366 and 800 exhibits the following
results, which furnish the best answer to
the jesuitical speech Of Mr.. Dawes. They
are both laboring for the same end, but it
was impossible to hide the truth in the
official returns, which fatty contradicts the
figures that were compiled to order for par
tisan effect. According to Mr.. Boutwell's
report the case stands thus:

The Coal Giant.

The value of the anthracite coal car
ried over the various railroads and can
ais since the LIST of January, if leckoned
at what its price IS by the time it reach
es the consumer, has been on IN aver
age not far from 81, 500, 600 a month, or
about three forths the interest per
month of the national debt. The
number of persons supported by the
business, including the wives and chill
dren of those employed in all it's branch
es, cannot be much short of 500, 600.
Indeed, when we consider the number
of men connected with the railroads
which are engaged principally in coal
transportation, VIC are not sure that
even this is not too small an estimate.
The amount Of physical power requir-
ed in the transportation of anthracite
coal is very interesting feature of the
business. Its aggregate is simply
stupendous. If we imagine a noun
tain in the form of cone, a quarter OF
mile in diameter at the base, and
1000 feet high, we shall get pretty
accurate idea of the bulk of anthra.
cite which, at the rate lp to the present
time, will have been taken to market
in the year 1872. And if we consider
that this vast quantity of so heavy a
substance as coal has been moved on
average distance by land carriage OF
! over 100 miles-abort one-sixth of it
having in it's journey been hauled by
railroad from deep valley up grade
formerly considered inpracticable even
for passenger trains, to an elevation OF
several hundred feet-we shall obtain
no mole than an idea of the motive
which has been used.-Ne,v York

An Enactment Against Narcotics.

Opium-eating must have assumed
alarming proportions in Kentucky.
The Legislature of that state, in order
to check the practice, has Just passed a
bill providing that, on the affidavit of
two respectable citizens, any person
who, through the excessive use of
opium, arsenic, hasheesl, or any 9th.
er drug, has become incompetent to
manage himself or his estate, may he
confined in any asylum and placed un-
der guardianship, as in the case of
habitual drunkards or lunatics. The
act says nothing about snuff-dipping,
tobacco-chewing or smoking. And
while on the subject of narcotics, it
may be we'll to add that the
medical journals of the coun-
try complain of the alarming
increase in the consumption of hydrate
of chloral. Indeed, one periodical
