WE publish elsewhere some extracts
from letter written by Gen. Farms

gress from Illinois, on the extra pay
S"lndle and the expenses Of keeping
up the White House. Itappears, from
his figures that while President Lincoln
expended S22,50 on his household in
1864, it cost the government under
Grant IN 1872 more than three times
that amount, or 500. leo. In the one
item Of repairs, furniture, etc, for the
house, it will be seen that there il =
difference of $4,000 The expenses of

added to the Presidents salary under
the late extra pay steal, will therefore
aggregate for this year about $I2O, 900.
And yet this is called republican form
OF government. Who can tell how
long it will remain so?

1t cannot be claimed that the labors of

The TWEED FARcE.-A New York special
says of the close of the farce of trying Tweed:
The scene in and about the courtroom be-
fore and during the proceedings was notable
one. Such crowd, such combination of
thieves, low-browed pot-house politicians, and
respectable men, probably was never before
seen. For long time before the courtroom
doors were opened the crowd pressed about
them into the passage ways and far out into
the parks, and when at length they were
thrown back the motley throng rushed and
crushed in, banging and bruising each other,
and almost Immediately the place was thor
oughly packed. TW eed entered with his coun-
sci. He took a rapid glance at the jurors, and
then, with merry twinkle in his eyes, endeav-
oring to repress pleased smile, he sat down
contented and complacent. The announce
ment of the foreman that the jury could not
agree, and their discharge, was greeted with
veritable howl of dissatisfaction No one was
gratified., The thieves and low politicians
were confident of an acquittal. The honest
men dared to hope for conviction.
