When the GRANTEES are pushed to the
wall in relation to the present ruinous ex-
penses of the genQal government, they
attempt to shield themselves from public
condemnation behind the old blind of''war
necessities" But this excuse will not an
swer, for Mr.. Wells, in his searching expose
of the financial delinquencies of the Grant
administration in this respect, points to
the fact that although the census shows
10000 less Indians to take care of in 1871
than in 1866, and although railroads have
diminished the cost of transportation, and
the purchasing power fmoney has appre-
ciated vastly, yet the expenses of the In
dian Department increased under Grant
from $3,295,O00 in 1866, to $7,426,0 900 in
1871, or in the ratio of 1875 per cent. In
the same manner the expenses of collecting
an internal revenue of 1910, 906,0 900 in 1866,
were 5,900,752; while for collecting re-
venue of $144, oil 900 in 1871, under Grant,
no less than $7,075, 900 was expended. The
cost of the Bureau at Washington, doing
less work in the latter than in the former
year, increased from $277,672 to $3SO,922.
In 1859 the number of gaugers in the In
ternal Revenue service was increased by
the addition of 244; and the same year,
under the same laws and the same condi-
tions, the receipts from taxation of distill-
ed liquors fell off $9,325,O0O. These facts
most effectually dispose of the argument
that the increase Of Federal expenditures
can justly be attributed to ''war necessi-
ties" When it is remembered that thou
sands of Federal office-holders are defaul-
tiers, that the Treasury is tapped for cleo
ton expenses, and that stealing and plum
der are common in all branches of the
government, the causes of the increased
expenditures are abundantly apparent.

At this moment, says the Philadelphia
Age nearly all the prominent men of worth
and character in the Republican party have
Joined heartily with the Democracy to re-
establish the principles and practice of our
government, under which it grew and
prospered, till it's whole fabric was shaken
by civil war. To restore again the econo-
my, frugality and integrity of "a state of
peace and civil government is the object
to which every patriot and every honest
man ought to be willing to cooperate
But to Illustrate it, all the thieves and pc
culators who grew fat under the license of
war, are striving to perpetuate it in time
ofprofound peace. Simon Cameron, eject
ed from the War Department for fageant
corruption in the hour of the country's
peril, is the leader of these ''patriots," and
asks that he and his crew shall be allow
ed to rob the people in time of peace, be-
cause they robbed the soldier and the gov
eminent in time of war. But to. this the
people will reply-you have stolen enough.

Masks and Faces.-Ladies who mask
their faces and necks with enamels endanger
their health to no purpose. The plaster work
deceives nobody. There is but one article
known which will restore blemished COM
pleXlon or create external brilliancy and bloom
where they have never heretofore existed; and
that article is Hagan's Magnolia Balm. It per-
forms this toilet miracle by infusing vitality
into the skin. The floral and herbal Juices of
which it is composed gently stimulate the cir
cuation in the minute blood vessels, and brace
the network of nerves through which they pass.
Thus quickened and strengthened the external
covering soon acquires fresh and healthful
hue, and every trace of sallowness disappears.
The palest cheeks derive from the beautifying
baptism of this delightful cosmetic warmer
hue, and the arms, hands and neck, blonde
lustre which the charlatans, who profess to-
make ladies "beautiful forever with their
poisonous cement, can never hope to initiate.

THE MARTIAL LAW CLAMOR
MAJOR FLANDERS JOINS IN 1T
THE CABINET SNUBS HIM

Our dispatches from Washington, pub
lished this morning, cover telegram
from Mayor Flanders to President Grant,
declaring that tho desire for martial law is
nearly universal with good citizens Of all
classes, and requesting that it may be pro-
claimed in the parish of New Orleans"
wherever that is.
The Mayor must have known that he
was misrepresenting the condition of
affairs, and that peace and order pre-
vailed throughout the city when his dis
patch was sent to Washington.
The correspondence was considered in
Cabinet session, and it was decided that
martial law will not be proclaimed in New
Orleans, and that no assistance will be
given by the federal authorities to persons
unlawfuIly resisting the constitutional au-
thOrities of the State.
The President accordingly telegraphed
these conclusions to Mayor Flanders, who
slept last night in his little bed under wet
blanket.
The federal authorities will stand by
Governor Warmoth.

him from starting the engine. Four men
were to get on the platforms of each of the
forward cars, and eight on the latter one.
A number OF persons who were standing
near he drove away, because they would
not assist him in his villainous designs.
4 question arose, Suppose the train did
not stop, how would they make it stop2"
Instantly the attacking party held con-
sultation, and suggestions and motions
were offered. One fellow proposed to place
a rail upright, SO that the train would be
thrown off the track; but one man, more
human than The other, said: THAT would
hurt the women" His companion brutally
answered ''D-n the women; they are not
to be considered these times" Fortunately
the rail was not placed upon the track.
The next dodge was to make huge bonfires
on the track, and in a few minutes the
heavens were lit up with the glare of fire.
1t was understood that the train would
not stop, when a street Car was immedi
ately placed on the track.
They then proceeded to stop every street
car that came by, and held it ON the track
for a few minutes, and then let it pass by.
They put out the lights OF all the cars as
they passed.
. They then put large lot of cross ties
upon the track, and retired for consultation.
They proposed to arrest every passenger,
male and female. Their reason for arresting
every one was, they were afraid that the
Senator might be disguised in female tog
gerry. They stayed around there until
nearly twelve o'clock, and the train not ar
irving. they lighted the Instructions they
had placed upon the track and left in dis
gust.
The railroad was picketed by the armed
mob as far as GENTLY.
The interruption which this proceeding
will canse to the buSinpss of the city as
well as to travel to and from it, will awaken
our business men to a true appreciation OF
the miscellaneous tendencies of the Carter
conspiracy.

THE STATE HOUSE.

The aspect of affairs was remarkably
quiet around the State House yesterday.
Both branches of the Legislature met, but
as the Senate was without a quorum, no
business of a law-making character could
be entertained. We wero informed by Dir.
Vigers. the Clerk of the House. that sixty
one members were present yesterday, and
we afterward learned that other members
were ready to take their seats as soon as
the Senate obtains a quorum. In the Housed
the only matter of Importance transacted
was the introduction by Mr.. Souer, and
adoption by the House. of a preamble and
resolution arraigning the conduct of Judge
Abel, the Judge of the First District Court,
for having 'seen proper in his official capac
ty, to allege serious charges against the pre-
sent grand jury of said court. while said jury
were performing their sworn duties: and
further to peremptOrily discharge the said
grand jury before their final presentment
to said court" The preamble further
sets forth that Judge Abel hypothecates
his official action by his declaration
of letter of prominent attorney Of this
city without any sworn testimony therefor;
and has attempted TO usurp the powers
vested by law solely in the grand Jury, and
otherwise exercised extra judicial power
unwarranted by the constitution and laws
of the State: that the action of Judge Abel
in the premises has prevented the indict-
ment and speedy trial of the assassins of
Walter f. Wheyland, late a member of the
Legislature of this State. and clearly shown
a political partisanship in favor Of the
Carter attempt at revolution that is incon-
sistent with the character Of fair and i'm
partial Judge. The preamble further states
that Judge Abel has officially announced
charges against the character of the Cover
nor of this State and members of the Legis-
lature: and otherwise. by special charges,
endeavored to incite the public mind at
time of great danger, instead Of quoting
the same as faithful conseTvator Of the
public peace should do. For these reasons
Mr.. Souer moved that 6 special committee
of five be appointed to investigate the
charges of Judge Abel against the grand
jury, and his reasons for their discharge,
and the evidence upon which he makes the
alleged charges against the Governor and
members Of the Legislature, and other mat
ters set forth in the preamble, The resolu-
ton provides that the committee shall have
power to send for persons and papers. take
testimony, and do all other things apper-
tanning thereto and report the result at the
earliest practicable moment to the House Of
Repre- natives.

leave him to his complacent feeling of

that the day is close by when all his wealth
will not shield him from the indignation of
people whom he has tried to sell for his
owrpersonal aggrandizement and gain.
Al to tho charge of selling out to

that this is false. He knows that

Mr.. Packard. But you have sold out soul

THE PEOPLE ON THE SIDE OF LAW

Further Instructions to Legislators.
A strong and manly letter from Hon. Jor
dan Holt, of Baton Rouge, TO Hon. Thomas
Green Davidson was received yesterday. 1t
indorses Governor Warmoth and the legal
State government, and gives well merited
praise to Mr.. Davidson for his patriotic
course. This is a high compliment to the
State executive, considering that both
writer and recipient are Democrats.
A delegation of twenty-five or thirty Dem
ocratic citizens from the parishes of st. Mar
TIN, iberia and Lafayette arrived this morn
ing, and instructed their Representatives
Messrs. Cochrane and Fontelieu-to stand
firm and support the administration. They
were commissioned by the citizens Of the
above parishes to inform their Representa-
tives that their course met the approval Of
their entire constituency. The people deem
their support of the State administration the
wisest course for securing the measures of
reform, and have firm faith in the Gov
