ECONOMY.

The Democratic orators have been
making great ado over what they saved
at the last session Of Congress- by cutting
down appropriations. Gen. Sickies, in
his speech in this city some weeks ago,
exposed the huubuggery OF their claims
to economy. He has been member OF
Congress and understands how that sort
of thing is done. The way is, he said, 10
cut down the necessary appropriations at
one session Of Congress and then
supply them at the next session
by Deficiency Bills. Mr.. Wiley also
gave a good sample Of the sort Of econ
omy practiCed by the RetOrmers at
the las, session Of Congress. For instance
they neglected to make MI appropriation
OF $1,000 necessary to complete the slack
waterIimprovement in the Monongahela,
near Morgantown. The estimate OF the
engineer now Is that the neglect to make
said appropriation will prove costly
piece OF economy to the government by
the time winter is over, by damage from
ice.
And No, AS has been shown by others,
there are any number Of instances oi this
penny wise and pound foolish economy.
Our ships have been left prot for lack OF
the appropriations necessary to keep
them in good condition.
The hypocrisy OF all this cry for econ
omy is shown by the fact that Col. vii.
son did all in his power to get money
appropriated for war claims, rs did his
colleagues Of the West Virginia delega'
tion. There was no end to the money
they wanted for all sorts of schemes.
Besides appropriations TO the Big
Kunawha, the Little Kanawha, the Elk
and the Monongahelariyers, they wanted
Congress to give them SSOS,oS7 10 for
war claims. They wanted, like dema-
gogues, all the money they could get for
their own districts, regardless Of the
country at large, and yet were willing to
cut of appropriations from other inter-
ests in order that they might be
able to make capital for the party,
particularly for themselves. Henry
G. Davis is sample Of these Relormers
He put the SALARY grab" in his pocket
and now comes before the people ol
Wheeling and OF the whole State to pirate
about retrenchment. He also, like Viii
son, Faulkner AMI Hereford, made his
demand on Congress for war claims
There is no amount OF public money that
he and his colleagues would not sqnnnder
| in this way. And yet while they are do
ing il they try to cut off enough from the
Public Works OF the country to enable
them to howl about economy in the can
vass. The whole thing is thinly dis
guised trick to deceive the people,

A straw In New York City.

New York Tribune Of Saturday.
1t has already been pretty conclusiyely
demonstrated that by far the larger and
more influential portion Of the financial
and mercantile classes Of this city looks
with misgivings upon the possibility OF
the Democratic party's gaining possession
Of the the Government. Fresh evidence
was furnished yesterday by canvass Of
the members Of the Stock Exchange. OF
the GlO present, 4ls declared their inten.
tion 10 vote for Hayes, 220 for Tilden
and . for Cooper. The total membership
is 1910, but at least 400 Of these are
seldom present, 10 that the vote is pret-
ty thorough canvass. There Is no class
OF men whose business requires them to
watch more closely the influence Of an
election upon financial interests than the
members OF the Stock Exchange, and their
vote Of nearly two to one In favor Of
Hayes Is, therefore OF great significance.

nighL-Governor Kemper has just Issued
a proclamation that information has
been received that a detachment Of the
United States army has been this day
quartered at Petersburg, under orders to
remain till after the election, TO be under
the sole direction Of Federal officials.
The Governor says the troops are intro.

terizes the act as aasrant usurpation
Of ungranted authority, designed to incite
and foment the domestic violence which

enjoins upon all such moderation and
self-denying forbearance as will preclude
the possibility Of any disturbance Of the

things, which I tell you, he feels the ne
eessiiy Of full Catholic role, and wishes IL in

officers Of The Church. The fact should be
remembered by them that the school
question has been dragged in to issue in

is their true friend. He wants them re-
minded that he and the party are con-
stantly asSailed for the Gray Nuns
Act and such tavors, and for the
Church to be laggard now would
be little less than treachery. This
matter lie wishes to have looked af-

Collision on the Short.Line-En.

Others Injured.

LOUISVILLE. November "A serious
accident occurred near Pewee Valley Sta
ton, on the Louisville, Cincinnati and
Lexington Short-Line Railroad, few
minutes past 10 o'clock this morning. A
special engine, in charge OF John Genther,
had been ordered to Mount Sterling, with
instructions to run wild until 10 o'clock.
Pewee Valley was reached by his engine
at this hour. Under misapprehension
that he was TO turn wild until 1910,
Genther endeavored to 60 from Pewee
Valley TO one station above, supposing
south bound Eastern Express would wait
his arrival at the upper station. The
engineer Of this train supposed Genther
would be at Pewee Valley. Their engi.
neers came together short distance
above Pewee Valley, badly damaging
both, killing Genther, and seriously
wounding two fremen and an express
messenger, names unknown. The Eten-
! ing NeEs reports no passengers killed.

GENEROUS MAGNANIMITY,

1t has always seemed to US singular that
there should have been solid South
against General Grant. No officer ever
treated his enemies with higher courtesies
OF civilized warfare. The capitulation of
Vlcksburg; the active suggestion of a
peace commission at Hampton Roads;
the terms ct surrender proposed to Gen
eral Lee, accepted by him without stipu-
lation of change, and without circum-
stance of humiliation; the Intervention to
protect the military commanders of the
Confederacy from arrest, Imprisonment
and trial for treason-all prove General
Grant to have been an honorable and hu-
name soldier.
He pursues this magnanimous tone,
and afirms this final testimony to the
Confederate commanders. He speaks of
the treacherous Democracy of the North
as shaving received the protection Of the
government they would see destroyed,
reaped all the pecuniary advantage to be
gained from the expenditures of the gov
eminent, even to the disgraceful extent of
obtaining contracts and Of swindling the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-12-07

government in the delivery Of their goods. -
He denounces them as ''an enemy in the
rear almost as dangerous as vi. VI more hon
orable enemy in the 'front.'" And says of
the Confederate foes that they commit
ted errols of judgment, but they main
tanned them openly and courageously."
Since the election of General Grant to
the presidency he has continued this i'm
partial course toward the South. He has
not been disturbed in his justice by the
personal defamation Of the Democratic
press or party of the South. He has ad-
ministered the law as the national Legis-
lature and the courts have declared it for
him, and has been no more excited against
those who have made such unfair returns
for the clemency of his sentiments to-
ward them than the warlike weapons with
which he executes the mandate of the
people. When the people Of the South
shall do General Grant the justice to reflect
upon even the expressions which base
and vindictive mind might have inflicted
upon them, they will, we are satisfied, be-
lieve that he has been the best friend that
the Southern people could have had, and
history will at least vindicate the mag
unanimous spirit which granted honorable
terms of capitulation to tho foe, with uni
versal amnesty to the disfranchised.
