ALARMING INCREASE or THE NATIONAL
PYPENDTTTRES

The inconsiderable monthly reductions of
the Public Debt and the heavy sales of gold
which the Treasury is forced to make in order
to supply itself with currency, are sure signs
that the expenditures of the National Gov
eminent have been carried to an enormous
figure. No wonder the people look with dis
favor on the recipients of back pay. A year
ago we showed that the expenditures of the
Government, after deducting the interest on
the debt and premium on bonds purchased,
the army and navy expenditures, drawbacks of
duties and taxes, and pensions, had increased
from s29, so5, 535 in 1860 to $340l5,S59 in
1865. to $5l, 6Ss,502 in 1863, and to $6S,l3o379
in 1s71-a startling progression. The corre-
sponding expenditures for the year ended June
30. 1873, are about S75,oOo,ooo, or more than
double the same outgoes i'll 1865, when the
premium on gold was at its highest elevation.
The army expenditures, which were S16,O01, 1877
in 1860, were $440800S5 in 1871 and S46, 323, 1888
in 1878. The navy expenditures, which were
gil 51S,150 in 1860, were $19,43l OPT in 1871 and
s23526,257 in 1878, which seems good deal to
nav for the rotting of a few score old hunks,
adapted for modern warfare only as the minnow
is adapted for the jaws of the pike.
We have before us an official statement OF
the receipts and expenditures of the Govern
ment for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1873,
| which we proceed to compare with Secretary
| Boutwell.s estimates laid before Congress In
December last. The revenue from customs
was estimated at S192, 729.540 the actual
revenue has been s1Ss,OS9,523. The revenue
| from internal taxes was estimated at SlOS, l69-
O47; the actual receipts have been S113.729,3l4.
From sales of public lands an income of s2,297,
1926 was anticipated, but $s,S82,3l2 have been
received. From miscellaneous sources, the
estimate was SlG1l9,22?, and the actual re-
ceipts were s29,O37,O55. The total of the csti-
mates is S3l9,3l5,1S4; the total of the actual

A Gilt OF ACCIDENTS.

The people who are compelled TO use our
railroads at this season will be driven to some
serious reflections by the dispatches of this
morning. Three destructive accidents, from
causes which do not seem altogether
excusablp, occurred Yesterday. No one
can take any comfort from consldera-
tons of locality, for these disasters were
scattered mpartially through the Eastern,
fiddle and Western States. A freight train
was thrown from the track on the Eastern
Railway, wrecking fourteen cars. Two pas
senger trains were smashed into one on the
Hudson River Railroad, and it seems
miraculous that among the manned and
crippled there were none killed. night ex-
press on the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad became disabled Dy the loss OF
driving-wheel, and a freight train came up
behind it, tearing the rear car to pieces, kill
ing four women and one child, and injuring
ten other persons. They were all immigrants
from Iceland, and their surviving friends will
retain through life a sad impression OF the
cruelty and carelessness with which our great
corporations are administered.
For all these disasters there will doubtless
be a perfectly satisfactory explanation. But
even though each case be fully ex-
planned, there can be no justification for
the repeated and rapid recurrence of these
murderous accidents. Of course no hui
man foresight can make travelling by
rail or any other conveyance abso-
lutely safe, but when these fatal blunders
crowd in upon us at the rate of a half dozen
| in single week, it is time for them to at
| tract more serious attention than thew have
| as yet received from railroad authorities.
| The news columns Of the papers are con-
| stanty filed with accounts of railroad
slaughters, and of meetings of Directors
| for purposes OF speculation. But if the present
ratio of disasters is kept up while longer
the public will expect that Directors shall
| spare q little time from their schemes OF
private gain to devise some means of taking
care of the human lives which are daily ex-
posed upon their trains.

found on IL. could have given them Clue
to Munce's identity. His watch, also marked
with his name, was stolen by the carman and
pawned, and it was by this means the identi-
fication was made complete.
Now, this appears to be but tri6ing mat
ter, but nothing could have happened which
would give to inland people greater or more
reasonable distrust of the humanity or honesty
of the seaboard cities. A respectable, inof-
fensve old man dies in a Christian COM
munity, and no sooner is the breath out OF
his body than municipal officers fall to work
to rob it, and hand 1t over to the doctors Tor
dissection. We are not surprised that the
friends of this man clamor loudly for the
punishment of the offenders; but we shall be
very much surprised if, in the present ruling
of Philadelphia law and justice, they oD-
tain it. The point to which we wish to
call attention is the part which the Medical
College has played in the affair. The preju-
dice which ignorant people have always had
against doctors as body-snatchers" would DE
shared by the best of us if the body they DIS
sected were one of our own friends. very
few men are so devoted TO liberal science as
to be willing to give their wives, chldrens, OF
even their own bodies to further the cause, Wniie
every one is ready to admit the necessity that
bodies should be furnished to physicians IN rs
large numbers as they require. In every
large city the supply from almshouses OF
the bodies of those who die without
friends ought to be sufficient The ordi-
nary course is to put the whole mat
ter in the hands Of the janitOr OF the college,
who furnishes the subjects in the dissectlng-
room the physicians washing their hands IN
innocency of any unwarrantable means made
use of by him. In some cases they come from
almshouses, prisons, ETC., but in Others they
are supplied by sections of graveyards. There
is no doubt that many a body Is carefully
decked for its last sleep and laid in the ground
with tears and prayers which the next night
is living on the bare dssecting-bOard, ready
for the students knife, while the fond mother
or wife comes day after day TO weep over
rihed grave.
Science, of course, must have material for
its work, but there is no need of any lnde-
cent inhumanity in gaining such material. 1t
behooves the trustees of every medical col
lege to guard against such outrages of the
dead as are secretly perpetrated by maintaining
a strict oversight of the janitOrs, and forcing
them to confine their purchases to the legal
channels The Munce case will be OF use If 1t
draw public attention to this matter.

THE MUNCE CASE.

About two months ago wealthy farmer
named Munce of Washington County, Penn,
mysterously disappeared while affected with
temporary arrangement. He was traced to the
Union depot, in Pittsburgh, but no further,
and nothing more was heard of him until
last week, when his body was discovered in
the dissecting-room of the Ninth-st Medical
College, in Philadelphia. He reached that
city safely, it appears, but two weeks
later fell off one of the wharves
and was drowned, and his body
was carried to the Morgue. Here begins the
strange part of the story. BY law bodies are
required to be kept for seventy-two hours,
and their clothing year, for purposes of
identification. All unrecognized bodies are
required to be buried In this case the Super
ntondent of the Morgue and Deputy Coroner
between them disposed of the clothes, gold
spectacles, &c, and sold the body 10 the Col

The Belgian Jockey Club is to celebrate notable

anniversary of the introduction the Continent OF

additional brillancy to the occasion, the Count OF

eray There is a widespread British superstition
that no one but an Englishman can ride, which has
not been shaken by the exploits of VicOmte Talon,
the Duke of Grammont- CaderOusse, and dozen
other crack riders of the Partisan Jockey Club. The
foundation of the British contempt for French turf
men probably arises from the fact that they try to
be English and fail. They have adopted into their
language the entire slang of the English race-course
and stables but they make wild work of the pronun-
citation and photography. 1t affects sympathetic
Briton almost to tears to hear young Boulevardier
talking about his "beting boke" and his dreeving-
gloves" and glorying in the name OF Sport

The French residents of New-York are preparing
testimonial of respect and gratitude TO NJ Theirs, to
mark their sense of his services in the preservation
of order and the Liberation of the territory There
are several propositions before the committee as to
the shape which this tribute is to take, but the most
graceful and appropriate Of all is that of ~ MERCER
who proposes to present to the veteran statesman,
historian and patriot the unique copy of Irving's
Life of Washington, in the possession OF the family
of the late George p Putnam, esq. This is one OF
the % sumptuous copies originally printed. IL was
reserved by Mr. Putnam for his own library, and
enriched by nearly 300 engravings, collected with
patient and intelligent research; and is rendered
precious by autograph letters of the author and of
Washington himself 1t is superbly bound and en-
cased, and if exposed at auction would doubtless
bring as high price as ever paid for any work
in this country. But Mr.. Putnam sympathizing en-
tirely with the object of the testimonial Is willing
to let it go into the possession of NJ Theirs at the
nominal price of $1,000, contributing literally to
the fund himself. We should regret to see so
precious an object of literature and art go out OF the
country, but it could certainly receive no more APP
propriate destination than the one proposed.
