A FEARFUL PICTURE OF Elk
TRAVAGANCE.

The Hon. Fernando Wood, Of New
York, on Saturday last, made q
speech arraigning the Grant admin
istration for corruption and extrav-
agance. Mr.. Wood is a member of
the House Committee Of Ways and
Means, and is consequently well in
formed on his subject. We repro.
duce a slight sketch from the fearful
picture as drawn by him:
IA thousand millions drawn from
the people in taxes during three
years, when 100000 was am.
pie for all necessities. Nearly $l5,
000,000 expended in tho several
branches of the public service in
1873, against less than $6,000,000
in 1865. a Civil Service that en-
ployed $1,000 in 1878, against A,
800 in 1860, or more than are en-
ployed in the civil list of Germany,
France and England together. The.
payment of over 100000 premi-
um for the privilege of anticipating
the public debt which was not due
for twenty years. A production of
S640, 100000 in nine years past
from the mines, of which but $270,
1888, 726 has been coined at the mints.
During the same period the receipt
by the Treasury of $3.50, l24, 2SS
for duties on imports, making an ag-
gregate of over two thousand mil
lions, and a deprecated and ire
deemable paper currency not only
continued but increased. Extrava-
gance and prohigacy, the ruling fea
turc of the administration, which in
turn have diffused through the coun.
try pernicious notions of the charac-
ter and functions Of the Government,
and taught the rising generation that
any road to wealth is the true ono
but that of industry and economy.
The National resources waiting TO be
developed on sound principles of pro-
duction. The usurpation of State
authority by the Federal Govern
ment and the substitution of anarchy
or despotism. II is all picture that
augurs badly for Republic.

WILL WE HAVE PEACE ?

We have been asked if the death
of SUMNER, distinguished as the
great special pleader Of negrophil-
ism, will terminate the political war
of the North affecting the races of
the South. We trust that with him
persisted the last spark Of unwise
northern love for the blacks, and of
northern hate for the whites, Of the
South and that his "Social Rights
Bill' will be "taken care Of" in the
deepest recessess of oblivion.
