democratic days, days which he himself had
not forgotten, and which by some were still

ratio of public expenditures for such pur.
poses, compared with wealth and population
was very much greater than at present, and
ne dld not neglect to suggest to Mr.. Holman.
the cranky, professional obstructionist of the
House, that the great Eastern centres Of
population were en tiled to appropriations at
least proportionately commensurate to the
amount expended by the Government in the

plains.
VARIOUS MATTERS.
Speaker Blaine is working very earnestly
to reverse the action of the House by which
prepayment of postage on newspapers was in
corporated in the bill recently passed by that
body.
The bill passed by the House for providing
end to the speculative projects of having
these memorials OF cast iron, burned clay OF
composition. They are to be of marble or
granite, and are to have inscribed on them
the name of the soldier, his rank, company,
regiment and date Of death, Contracts for
their erection are to be awarded to the low
est responsible bidder, but they are not to
cost above five dollars each.
The House has passed bill donating four
condemned cannon and sixteen cannon balls,
for soldiers monuments, to the Army and
Navy Union of Portland, and to the Soldiers
Monument Association at Fitchburg. p.

decline serving as Chief Marshal of the inau-
