HE expenses Of the Government dl-
ring Washington's Administration, in
proportion 90 the number of people, was
a tax on each person equal to 81. 30. In
General Grants, leaving out the war, it
is S1.70, varyin but five cents fir ON the
Administration OF Adams and Jefferson,
while it is actually below those of Mon
roe, Polk, Pierce, and Buchanan. War
costs great deal of money, as we find In
Lincoln's Administration the cost of the
Govern nent was 81 for each man wom-
an and child.

One short year ago the ascription of
third-term leaning to the President were
eitherridiculed or denounced. It is now
reduced to certainty that he is not
merely resolved upon third term, but
sure of it. The South does not propose
to make party to this. We have had
war enough. We have been there
We know all about it. Within eighteen
months we shall see either a President
Dictator, Supreme Military Chief of a
Government conducted by the White
House, the Army, and the Navy, or else
we shall see the Northern States given
over to internecine battle; for GRANT
means business, and has no idea of Civ
ing up without fight, being no man
for a foot-race-LOuisUiA Courier

We would ask in all candor and sin
cerity what the Democratic press hope
to gain for themselves, their party, or
their country, by creating vague suspi-
cions and arousing baseless apprehensions
such as the foregoing paragraph is cal
culated and intended to produce. The
extract is from the Louisville Courier
Journal, probably the ablest of Southern
newspapers, and it would be altogether
ridiculous If there were not a tinge of
viciousness about it. 1t is the producto Of
the most rattle-brained imagination, and
devoid of every scintilla of probability.
There is nothing in our political condi-
ton, in our social relations, in the atti-
tude, utterance, OF actions of the Presi-
dent which can furnish the slightest pre-
text for thus unnecessarily, cruelty, and
treacherously working upon the minds
of the ignorant and bigoted classes il,
the South. Nobody knows all this bet
ter than the conductors of the Courier,
Journal, who are intelligent people, and
may not plead the ignorance which alone
could excuse such silly and vicious utter
ances. But where is the honor OF profit
ofitall? Has sensational journalism gone
so far that it is necessary to resort to the
low dwellings of imbecil1ty, to scrape uI
the dregs of political bigotry, in order tc
attract attention If this be the pur-
pose, the Courier Journal might better
be content with its present reputation
than seek new notoriety at the sacrifice
of its intelligence and patriotism. i
this be not the purpose, we utterly fai
to comprehend it.

The Legislature did good thing to-
day IN resolving to extend the session un-
til the 4th of March. To adjourn with
out some modification of the Potter law,
would be serious injury to the business
prospects of the State, and there will
now be time to act deliberately and wise
II upon some one of the propositions
before them. Those gentlemen at Mad
iSon who are temporarily charged with
the duty of guarding the credit of the
State, must be aware that the moral
effect which ? modification of our pres
emit stringent railroad legislation would
have upon the financial world, must be
very greitly in our favor.-AilsUGukee

MIS-. MoULToN's testimony in the
Beecher-Iilton case, given last Friday.
is the most damaging to Beecher of any,
inasmuch as she maybe supposed to be
less influenced by personal bias than her
husband or Tilton. She testified to
Beecher's confessing to her his sin, and
his contrition for il, but she did not
state what the sin was in SO many words.
SO far as the testimony is reported, but
leaves it to be inferred very plainly that
1T was the worst that has been charged.
Unless her testimony can be broken down
1t must have very decided weight with
the jury, for while Tilton's and Moul-
ton S testimony may reasonably be taken
with many grains of.allowance. It can
hardly be supposed that Mrs. Noulton
would periure herself in the hope OF
saving her husband. She also testified
that on one occasion she kissed Beech
er on the forehead, and there are those
who think that If she allowed him to
come to her and talk that particular
subject over time and again, that there
IL reason to suppose she was on cesy in
innate terms with the old fellow-per-
haps too intimate.

A bill has passed the Senate, with
great unanimity, to provide for q State
Board of Centennial managers. The du-
ties set forth in this bill for this Board
are as follows:
To disseminate information regarding the
exhibition TO secure the cooperation OF 1nduS-
trial scientific, agricultural and other aSSOcla,
lions in the State; to appoint cooperative local
committees, representing the dlHerent lllo,l1 IN
tries of the state: stimulate local action on all
measures intended to render the eXhlb1tlon sue
cessful, and q worthy representation or the IN
dustries of the country to encourage tne pro-
d1ction of articles suitable for the exhlbltlon;
to distribute documents issued by the Centen-
NAL Commissioners among the manufacturers
and others in the State to render asslsIance III
furthering the financial and other interests OF
the exhibition to furnish 1nfOrmaton 10 thS
commission on subjects that may De relcrIeu
to the board; to care for the interests OF t4 ne
state and of its citizens in matters relating TO
the exhibition; to receive and pronounce upon
applications for space; to apportlon the space
placed at its disposal among the eSnlp,, OF
from the State, and to supervise Sucn Otner de-
tails relating to the representation OF cltiLens
of Wisconsin in the exhibition as may from
time to time be delegated to 1t by the Onlteo
States Centennial Commission.
It was well remarked by Senator Pot
ter, when this bill came up for consider
alton, that it would seem. that it must
meet the appreciation of every Senator.
This was a matter that came up but
once in hundred years, and it was prop
er that every State should take an In
terest in the subject. He hoped Wis
consin would not be behind other States
in this respect.
It is certainly desirable that Wiscon-
sin should be fully represented In this
Exposition. She has vast resources,
and cannot afford to be left out. With
this Board of Managers, we doubt not
arrangements will be made that will Sc
cure a due representation, with but
slight expense. We trust the Assembly
will take favorable action upon this bill
which we deem Of special importance
to the interests CT the State-and pass it
with the same unanimity that it passed
the Senate

The State Journal says Joint Reso-
luton was adopted by both houses of
the Legislature, extending the time for
the final adjournment from the 25th of
February to the 4th OF March-just one
week. This action of the Legislature is
wise beyond question. There is still a
large amount of business unfinished, and
could not have been properly considered,
without an extension of the time first fixed
upon. To have adjourned without ac-
ton, or upon hasty action, on many of
there measures, would have been wrong,
and could not have been justified. With
this extension of time, we think the work
of the Legislature can be well finished up
without further extension. This will
secure an unusually short session and,
considering the time occupied in the
Senatorial contest, it will be deemed a
most satisfactory result.

MADISON CORRESPONDENCE.
MADISON, Feb. 81, 1875.

MADISON, Feb. 81, 1875.
DEAR TR1BUNE:-The Legislature has
extended the time of adjournment to
the 4th of March.
The Legislative party, so long and
anMously awaited by wishful asplrants
for moitations, has come and passed
into history or oblivion, immaterial
which.
The Solons, not content with dane
Jag out the Assembly carpet, must
dance their jigs on the Senatorial brus-
sells. But in this commendable under
taking they were assisted by the vigor-
ous youth of Madison, who are always
on the qui u1ce for dance or prayer
meeting.
It was indeed a regal affair. Promi-
nent among the royal family there was
seen the graceful figure Of Prince Sam,
confessedly the best dancer on the floor.
The excellent music; the elegant attire
o. the ladies'; the martial appearance of
those of the unterrifed, who were not
over at Casper's, all reminded us OF
other times, when in that historical Cap
itol-
there was sound of revelry by night,
And Belgiums capital had gathered there.
Her beauty and her chivalry.
The performance of the following
evening strengthens the illustration.
Then was seen the ''pomp and circum-
iance of glorious war, but I Will not
anticipate.
From time immemorial, perhaps prev
ious to the halcyon days of the "Thou-
sanl and one" Every session of the
legislature has had the session of the
''sovereigns.
These members of the third house
have a speaker, officers, governor, &C.
Gen. Ginty, the Douglass Jerrold of
Wise onsin, was speaker, and S. d.
Carpenter, alias pump" had been
e1osen weeks ago to deliver the ar
nua! message. This he had prepa1 ed
with great care, and mad elaborated it
tall il had attained Ciceronian polish,
and length scarcely less than Dukes
Grafton on Warren Hastings.
After the sovereigns, first among
whom was our Fred. Heineman, had
assembled, and many bills had been
introduced, dispute occurred, and in
marched twenty-five soldiers with fixed
bayonets, headed by the inimitable Col.
Bird, who at once produced a telegram
and ordered Gen. Ginty to vacate the
chair. 81 never resigned an Office in
my life and I won't this one,' retorted
the bold speaker. Instantly file of
soldiers charged on him. He beat a
basty retreat. Then two men with
carpet bags in their hands took his
place. Geo. Peck to succeed him, and
Bill WEIGH to succeed Carpenter Then
five sovereigns were ordered to leave,
and the same number of colored men
put in their places.
A message was delivered by Mr..
WEIGH, and the worthy sovereigns con-
graduating themselves on their s'peace-
full revolution adjourned
Thursday evening Mr.. Wheeler, OF
Chippewa Falls, delivered his lecture on
"Meanness. It was of course humorous
and took rolerably well, considering the
avalanche of fun the previous evening.
The same evening, Mr.. Patton, OF
Chicago, gave Us in his lecture on
doubters, the true blue or thodaxy.
