TYPOGRAPHICAL.

1t is said that honest ducks dip their
heads under water 20 liquidate their little
bills.
The Chicago Times thus warns the pub
lie: When man neglects to pay his five
cents on the West Van Buren, street line
the conductor depriyes bin Of his five
senses by filling his face full of knuclIles.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Peoria
Reuieas is furnishing its readers fiIst-class
poetry. like the following, the subscription
price of that sheet has not been raised:
"Dear mother, may go to voteP''
sTOh yes, my dear SophTony;
Put on your hat and redingote,
And vote tor Jim Mahony!"
The editor of the San Jose Mercury saws
if heshould stop to chase down all the false
hoods of his contemporary, the Patriot, he
would run his editorial legs of. The solu-
ton of this problem is to find out how
man may run his legs off when he stops
Exchange.
Five dollar silver resumption is going on
swimmingly at The rate of $3.50 week, or
about S1S1,00o year. At this rate, sup
posing each dollar to be coined in two
pieces, enough would be discussed to sup
ply one-fouIth of our present population
with one pocket-piece each, in about TWEEN
ty-seven years. Gradual resumption is a
good thing Chicago Times
The Danbtuy NelCS man has received
information from Richmond, Ind He says
that "a hired girl employed in a family
there, while baking cakes the other morn
inc, stepped backward to a chair in which
reposed the batter, and deliberately sat
down in the pan. As she subsequently Te-
fused to sit down on the stove, the break
fast was finished with bread"
An Eastern paper has this to say relative
to the demoralizing influence of b. Will
liam: -Four small boys in Albany,
awakened TO action by the influence of
q Buffalo Bill" started for the far West,
one day last week, ON an empty freight car,
with a glimmering idea, we are told by a
local newspaper, of killing dozen dusky
braves and returning crowned with glory.
When three of them came back in a soiled
condition, after numerous vicissitudes and
wandering, on another empty freight car,
they brought the story of the fourth, who,
rejecting with scorn the suggestion of an
inglOrious return, said at Rochester, " If
you fellers is going to weaken on this ERE
thing, aint!" and .iourneyed on to Cleve-
land, where his thirst for savage life was
doubtless gratified.

The CITY to Lease sulphur Spring.

Alderman Chatham gave notice at the
meeting-of the Board last night that he
proposed to introduce resolution prOvid-
! ing for the leasing, by the city, of the Sui
phur Spring, so that che who runs may
drink"
The idea of leasing said spring is good
one, but how we are going to drink while
running, it is rather difficult to understand.
Mr.. Cheatham may be able to devise some
plan by which this can be accomplished,
however.

TREASURY PAYMENTS.

From the New YORK IrIbune. Nov. T.
The public are again amused with
what purports to be an official state
ment of the payment of money from
the United States Treasury for the ex-
penses of government. We condense
below three successive official state
ments of these monthly payments
from the Treasury by warrants, as
sent to the Associated Press by tele-
graph from Washington, and proceed
to show the utter worthlessness of the
pretended information:

New York, Mrs. Maria Jourdan West
moreland, of Atlanta, Georgia, said
that if the papers of the congress were
to be read in the South the Southern
women would not be quiet until they
had the ballot. The Savannah AdUer-
tiser says: Mrs. Westmoreland, a
Southern woman herself, ought to have
better knowledge of the sentiments OF
her own sex in the South. If Mrs
Westmoreland herself should undertake
a canvass of the South under the ban
ner of Mesdames Stanton and Liver
more, she would fail to win over to heI

and left the store IN charge of his pOr-

ing, he went to get his money, and dis
covered that it had been stolen. It is

Grand total. So, III ,665 81
Either the above figures give true
account of the expenditures of the gov
eminent, exclusive of payments on ac-
count of the principal and interest of
the public debt, or they do not. If, as
we firmly believe, they do not give a
true account of said expenditures, why
are they sent out? What are they
good for? If they do give a true &C.
count of the cost of government we beg
the reader to observe.
l. That the cost of government, ex-
elusive Of the interest on the public
debt. is at the rate of S210,000,000 a
year, against Sl80,000,000 last year.
II. That the Civil and Miscellaneous
expenses are at the rate of S74,000,00O
year, which is about the same as they
were last year, and double what they
were in 1866, when the price of gold
was about $50.
III. That the cost of the War De-
partment is at the rate of S59,OO0,000
a year, or Sl3,000,000 more than last
year.
". That the cost of the Navy De-
partment is at the rate OF SGT, OOO,OOO
a year, or $13,0O0,000 more than last
year.
V. That the cost of the interior De-
partment, including Indians and pen
sions, is at the rate of S40,000,000 a
year, or 100000 more than last year.
We have heard of wooden nutmegs,
sanded sugar, and the apples of SOdOm,
and we are furthermore of opinion that
at the head of such counterfeits should
be placed these statements of expenses
issued from the Treasury Department.
If they represent a fact, the fact is an
ugly one; if they do not what excuse is
there for the misrepresentation?
We charged yesterday that the
Treasury accounts were long way be-
hind the facts, whereas the Treasury
has given out that its October dis
bursements were extraordinarily heavy.
But the above figures show the reverse.
The monthly totals of the figures given
above are as follows:
Disbursements, August. $50 253, 5O2 3

The October disbursements are much
the smallest of the three amounts.
But, werepeat, we have no confidence IN
figures. The only conceivable purpose
that their publication serves is to mys-
tify the public and show the opinion
which the Treasury officials have OF
what the people Of the United States
require of them.

MURFREEsBoRO, Nov. 10, 1873
We started out to-day on what you
might call quite general review of the
city, and with the idea of seeing for
ourself what the folks at home" were
doing We stumbled straightway upon
two Of the very busiest kind. sof cotton
ginning and baling establishments.
The steam all putting away reminded
one of business in good earnest, and we
stopped to take note of the hundreds of
neatly hoped bales Of the grand staple
product of the Sunny South, with
which the yards seemed very nearfilled.
Capt. G. P. Thomas and Messrs. John
and Joe Wilson control these. The low
prices to which cotton has fallen pro-
duces rather depressing effect on
many of the hopeful old farmers, as we
have heard some of them say.
All the misfortmes that now befall
the busy world of trade is attributed
to the "bank suspensions, and some
of our hardy old sons of toll, think it is
"getting high time for that kind of
trickery to stop" But to our mind
the more we have of it the better it
takes, or they take, or somebody does.
At least when link is missing it re-
quires all the banks in America to find
merely clue to it-that's all! How
ever, as we were never presumputous,
and are out on a ''see" this time, we
pick up our thread and proceed to state
