Although the late Congress did not scruple
to impose thirty-tive or forty millions of ad-
ditional taxes III the last hours of its exist
ence, not single earnest effJr was made to
reduce the most notorious extravaganza, or to
diminish the prodigal expenditures which are
so glaring. On the contrary, the system Of
loose. reckless and corrupt appropriation of
the public money to unworthy objects and
for personal uses was pursued as yiciously as
IN the d.yS Of an overlooking Treasury and
an apparent general prosperity.
The amount of money voted to the Presi-
cent and for the White House exceeds the
grants OF former years, and covers the scan
dalous frauds which have heretofore attracted
so much harsh comment. Compared with all
preceding Presidents. the allowances made to
Grant far more than double those of any
predecessor, and quite treble the appropra-
tons for Mr.. Lincoln during the rebellion.

Before Gen. Grant became President the
practice was to furnish the White House anew

Since then an annual appropriation of ten or
fifteen thousand dollars has been regularly
made, and applied to other objects under the
name Of furniture. SO too an appropriation
OF $1,000 year has been made for repairs,
which could not be expended and never has
been, no matter what Measurer Rabcock's
vouchers may pretent to show, which have an
elasticity as remarkable as his Ring measure
ments.
Every year some new charge has been
smuggled iato the supply bills and thus
made the basis of standing appropriation.

the Executive Mansion, upon which not one
tenth of that sum was expended last wear.
In the height Of the war the contingencies of
the President were raised from one to three
three thousand dollars, and now thew are six
thousand, in the face Of the double salary en-
acted by the back-pay grabbers of the Forty
second Congress.
There is a great delusion in the public
mind purposely created at Washington in re-
gard to the expenses which the President is
to incur by his official functions.

ants and ushers, are all provided for from the

New York, March q. The Tribune saws
Johnson's speech hardly meets inordinate
expectation. As an argument in the Louisi-
ana case it compares uniavorably with others.
Iohnsons views on the third term and his
reflections or Grant and Sheridan will attract
attention.
The Times says the speech was nominaIly
on Grants course regarding Louisiana, but
really on the course and achievements of An
drew johnson. The same is an unending
stream of di>iointed Boosting with occasional
shrewd and blunt points against his enemies.
The Bcrati thinks the speech will make a
profound impression by reason Of its enrnest
ness and courage Virtually the speech is iii
impeachment of Gen. Grant.
The Ucrli says the speech will secure at
tention to the political situation.

TURSirs AND Gonna Westchester
county On. Y. farmer is in the habit Of
sowing yellow Aberdeen turnips amcng
his corn at the last passage Of the cult
vator, when the plants are about five feet
in height. The turnips do not make
much growth until the corn is cut. after
which they swell rapidly. The cost Is
nothing except for seed and harvesting.
and corn being already cut is not injured
when the turnips are gathered In. From
one to four hundred bushels OF turnips
per acre have been thus obtained without
lessenng the corn crop. Weeds are not
tolerated, and the whole strength OF the
land is devoted as it should be, to useful
