State Expenditures.

The State treasury is full because a
Republican Legislature provided for it.
The amount paid this year is SI35, coo
more than was paid last year.
The cost of erecting buildings and
supporting benevolent institutions in

The capitol fence cost S23. 0O0, aud
the boiler rooms cost $50, 0U0. Here
are extraordinary expenses amounting
to S154, 600, in '73. yet with receipt,
S135, 600 larger this year, and expen-
ditures S154.0 600 less, the surplus in
the treasury Is only little over S125,

As TENNESSEE has elected legisla-
ture almost unanimously democratic,
Parson Brownlow will give up his seat
in the United States Senate on the 4th
Of March, and it is generally believed
that Ex-President Andrew johnson
will succeed him There is something
radically wrong when Ben Butler goes
out Of Congress and Andy Johnson
goes in. Nothing but having both Of
them there together, will preserve the
system Of political balances so inlis,
pensable to harmonious working Of

The PARTY who elected TiIden over
Dix in New York is the party who
never relishei the pa riotic utterance
of John \. Dix : '.If any man at
tempts to haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot. The
Ku-Klux and the White Leaguers will
have things their own way now. If
they succeed in electing President in
1876, why, just scour up your old
shooting irons for another rebellion.
We have men right in our city who
are just aching for another carnival OF

THE KNoCKED-endways condition of

THE KNoCKED-endways condition of
the Reform party in Wisconsin to-day
we fear greatly damages the prospects
of Farmer Taylor for the Presidency
in 1876. The prospect is, indeed, dis
heartering. And then those New
York papers with no conception Of the
fitness Of things the New York Times
for instance without consulting
either Levi or the least of the reform-
ers of Wisconsin, raise the name Of
Ti!den tor the high position which has
so beautifully been arranged for the
pure Taylor. Have those New York
papers lost their wits, or are they in
subordinate? Perhaps they have lost
sight of the farmer under the unex-
pected s'acA; of q, 900 republican ma
jority. We fear the farmer has about
cut his sEath.
