evening last-the occasion of the enter
tainment by the Hillsboro Dramatic Club
place.
As an introduction of the evenings en-
tertainment, Mrs. Pugsley, of Hillboro,
read the following poem, which was re-
ceived with applause:
In ancient days, young men and maidens gay,
Were wont in court, dramatic scenes to play,
Such shows were made that actors might obtain
From royal smiles honors. applaus, and gain;
But we as amatures to night appear,
To wake the laugh, perhaps to draw a tear.
To please with scenes from Chimney Corner
A people quick to feel and prompt of thought;
Proud in home that bears the honored name
Our cOuntry's father bore and gave to fame.
No crowns we want; your smiles, if we but gain,
Wen coin to gold, and letit here remain.
| So, by your aid, that temple will restore,
Were love fraternal always kept the door
For, from the debris where it lies,
And gifts of friendship to its affairs bring
/ If comedy can aid cause SO right,
| None will regret their presence here to might.
And. we may learn, cen in our merry mood,
And you, adopting the spirit of our stage.
| May hope to see the coming oft Narrow Gauge
Criticism upon theamanner in which
''The Chimney Corner" and "The Loan o
Lover" were rendered, would be entire

that the audience was delightfully."- enter
tanned throughout.
At the close of the performance, Judg
Priddy rendered the thanks of the Cd
Fellows and the audience to the Club, i
neat little speech, and presented re
quest to Mrs. Pugsley to repeat the rec
tation of the poem above quoted, whic
was readily complied with.
The Odd Fellows are indebted to til
Club for the handsome contribution t
their treasury of about 800, as the pre-
ceeds Of the evening.

The Daily Graphic, an independent
Democratic paper, speaking of the New
Hampshire election, says:
1t is strange that the managers of the
Democratic party do not see the obvious
reason OF this vast discrepancy between the
real feeling of the community and the elec.
ton returns. Are they blind that they un-
derstand not the meaning of this broad
chasm between what might be and what
is? Not until they are wise enough to
take their dstrusted and obnoxious organ
ization, with all its infected traps and
trumpery, out of the way, and leave the.
field clear for q new combination of the
political elements, can there be any gener-
al uprising of tho people or powerful re-
sistitnce to the party now in power. As

they dissent from, rather than the Demo
cratic, which they distrust if they do not

OUR EXPENDITURES

One of the inevitable results of war is
increased taxation. 1t follows it as natu-
rally as day follows night. When the war
of the rebellion terminated, by the dis
banding of the armies the burden of paying
the increased expenditures only began. 1t
continues yet and will continue for years
to come, We are told every day of increas
ed taxation, and ofstealing and of frauds
enough TO appal the stoutest heart. There
is more corruption than we like to see,
but not half 80 much a. is reported Just
now there is very properly a very thor
ough investigation into the expenditures
OF public money. The amount of funds
collected and paid out reach such enor-
GUS sums, and pass through such varied
channels that shrewd man in Con yress
can pile up figures that apparently look
terrific. But when we get down to the ae-
tual facts, it is evident that there is a
steady decrease of our expenditures It
goes slower now than il did a few years
ago because we are now near the time
when weshaQ reach our minimum ex-
penditures. The country is growing so
rapidly and spreading out over such an
enormous stretch Of territory that our le-
gitimate and ordinary expenses will soon
reach the sum we are now paying, because
of the extraordinary costs entaied by the
war. 1t has been estimated that by July,
1876, the ordinary expenses Of the Gov
eminent will fail to $3.50, 900 900. This
would include S95 600 600 for interest on
the public debt. The proportion OF our
expenses now justly chargeabIe to the war
is estimated by General Garfield at 81 per
cent, or S157 ,262, 416.Sl. OF this sum S,O4,-
75O6SS is for interest on the public debt,
and 500, $50, 1886 is for pensions to dis
abled soldiers.
Classifying our expenditures they are as
follow: $500, GOO O00-54 per cent. directly
the heritage of the war; IS per cent for
our army and navy, and 25 per cent. for
all other expenses put together. One of
the heaviest items of the latter class is
that for the Improvement of our rivers,
haTbors, lakes and coast-life stations. etc.
II is worthy Of note il connection with
these expenditure, that 20 per cent. Of all
moneys spent in improving our inland
commerce has been appropriated since the
war by the Republican party. During
fifteen years Of Democratic rule, Gen.
Garfield says not o dollar was an
propriated for internal Improvement. This
latter policy was inherited by the Republi-
cans from the old Wing party. Our farm
ers want better and cheaper transportation.
Water courses afford the safest aud cheap
est routes for that purpose, and, therefore.
millions have been spent in deepening and
widening our river channels and improv-
ing lake and coast harbors. When all
these facts are considered, the cry about
extravaganza is better Understood.

THE ToRBETT .ssnr


The Supreme CoU ri have announced
that owing to the Importance of, and the
length of the record and briefs submitted
to them in the "new issue ~ Tennessee
Bank case, they would not be able to de-
eide it until next fall. o.. s-
This is extremely fortunate for Gov
Brown and his political associates. 1t i.
no secret that the Governor is an aspir
ant for the United States Senate. II
is generally remarked about Nashville that
he has been very uneasy and solicitor:
about the decision of the new issue" case
His friends say that if the Court decide in
favor of the new issue, as is generally be.
lieved they will decide it, the decision
would have a very bad effect upon the
State elections. 1t would be fine political
thunder for the Republicans, they think,
so this delay proves very fortunate. The case
will be held over, but it will not take
the judges that long to examine, or to de-
eide it. The questions involved in it have
been carefully considered and discussed by
every lawyer in the State for the past two
years, and there are few of them of prom
inence, that have not examined it suffi-
GENTLY to qualify them to pass Judgment
on it in less than months consideration
of the special facts in this case. Is there
not danger that this delay will afford a
new basis for speculation in this money .
The opinion of the court will in some way
be found out or speculated upon.
During the summer the forthcoming de
cisiOn will be the subject of speculation
and the advantages to be derived from a
knowledge of the conclusion of the court
will be so great that it places a great temp
tatiOn before those who are in official posi-
ton or relation TO the court IT
- unfortunate to have one mill
lion and u half of bank notes, the value
of which is disputed, the object of specula-
ton for six months Ormore. These notes are
worth their face value or not a cent, Just as
the Court may decide. This delay, therefore
puts spectators and gamblers and bona
ride holders in suspense for months. The
delay, combinations and speculations that
mustfollow, furnish the basis for suspicious,
charges, lnsinuations and temptations that
court should never cOuntenance if it
could possibly be avoided.
The public should never have cause to
suspect the integrity OF a court of last re-
sort. 1t is organized to decide causes upon
the law, without fear or favor
and without reference to its effects
upon elections. We have no desire or in
tention to insinuate that any improper
motives actuated the court in this case.
We can not but think, however, that the
delay and the effects to follow are unfor-
tunste for the public. The case ought to be
decided as speedily as consistent with the
important principles involved and the
amount at stake. The sooner the irritating
questions at issue are settled and forever
disposed of, the better for all concerned.
For these reasons if the court had arrang-
ed its business so that the decision could
have been promulgated as soon as deter
mined upon, it would have been better for
all concerned.

ticieltly well versed in the law to success
