Congress would long since have sd-

TIE APPROPRIATION BILL
caused by the Radical Senate, who we're
unwilling to have the expenses of the
Government cut down $40 OOO,OOO-mors
money than it cost to run the entire
Government under the administration of
Washington, Adams and Jefferson. The
House came square down to practi-
/ cal economy, and cut off over thousand
useless officers created by the Radicals,
and reduced the salaries of ne9r ninety
thousand Federal employees. The Radi-
Gals will talk about retrenchment and
Feferm, but when it comes to acting it
out, they are like the Irishman's hea-not

Our State has enc Of the best delega-
tions in Congress. For personal Iopu
larity, influence and reputation through
out the country, our msmJerS of the
House of Representative viii compare
favorably with the good Old days when
John Bell, Cave Johnson, Robert L.
Caruthers, Aaron V. Brown, Fred P.
Stanton, Meredith P. Gsatry, C. z.
Williams and Andrew johnson we're in
our national councils. Atkins, House,
Bright, Dibrell, Riddle, Mcfarland,
Whitthorne, Caldwell, and our gallant
representative,
CASEY YOUNG,
comprise a delegation of which any
State may point to with pride. But es-
pecially should the people of the Mem
phis District boast of their member, sad
feel proud of his splendid achievements.
He entered Congress only few months
ago, almost stranger IN that body, and
his first appearance in a Legislative ca

many difficulties on all sides to encoun-
ter, he has done more for his people thai
