THE SOUTH, THE WEST AND TUE REPUB-
LICAN PARTY.
We are informed from Washington
that the republicans of-the South are
indignant at the milk and water course
Of the administration in the NirPinius
affair; that they are moving for new
organization looking out for the dOmi-
nant party of the future, and that they
probably unite with the trangers on a
new departure; that wide awake and
progre sive republicans are freely dis
cussing the shortcomings and the
blunders of the administration party
and its bungling in the State elections
of last October and November, and that
the plain men of the party from the
ro 'al districts are disgusted with the
silly working of civil service reform
10 a word, the cohesive power of the
republican party, aI the party of the
administration, is broken, the work o.
disi1tegration in the party has com
menced, and from all the signs of tat
times the party of the future that vii

into the expenditures Cf the Executive depart
meRtS, continued from day tO day, disclose
many ways in which money may be easily
saved. Beginning with the Executive proper,
1t has been discovered thai not only the sala-
ry of the President, but all the expenses OF
the Executive office, have been doubled dur
ing the present Administration. In 1866 the
appropriations made in the regular Legislative,
Executive and Judicial bill for the Executive
Ofhce during the year lSU1-the last of John
SOIlS AdminlstTatnn-weTe as follows Com
pensatiOn of the President, so, 200 salaries
OF private secretary, assistant secretary,
clerks, steward, and messenger SG,10O; con-
tingent expenses, $1,000 ; total, $50, 100. This
year the estimates tor the same are Compen-

| private secretaries, clerks steward and mes
senger, Sl5. 300 Contingent expenses, So 900;
| total, 81, 800.
| The duties OF the President are to day no
| greater than they were In 1867, AMI the

Office requiring thr services Gt secretaries
| clerks, Ike, has not increased. Besides, the
that enters into the contingent expenses of
the executive office makes it necessary I,
make smaller appropriation now than then
IL must not he supposed that the iigure'
given above cover all, or even q large shar,
Of the expenses of the executive office. The!
are eimply corresponding items for the twI
years. Mr. Dawes a few days ago, in speech
placed the perQuiSteS and allowances OF tn
President at $4,000 year, and he did not in
clude in this estimate, probably, the neceSsaT
expenses of the office such as have been refer
red to above.
