clearly something very wrong. The Cincin-
natl Commercial has taken the pains to
make some comparisons on this subject,
from the tables Of which it may be seen
at O ssoa glance what is the cause
OF the pleasure OF the times. 1IoAll
this money is wrested from the people.
When these party leaders have made an ex-
travagsnt appropriation, the next step is to
devise the ways and means to meet it, and
the tax comes upon the people in one shape
or another. The government has no money
ofits own. Every dollar comes from the
people-every voter has to pay his part. It
wrests all luxuries and many comforts aud
even necessities from the poor. In unseen
ways 1t Expresses every class. When the
worse than useless extravaganza is fairly
considered the long continued and iucreas-
ing extravaganza is little else than down.
right robbery.
How bold and Infamous, in the light of
such facts of extravaganza as are presented
In the Commercials figures which the Sem
tinel reproduces this morning, are the efforts
OF such men as Morton and Blaine, who
would hang up the bloody shirt before the
eyes of the people, to screen these facts
from their view. The alarming picture that
shows such rottenness and corruption,
for no one will pretend that these expen-
ses are necessary, must arouse the people
to consider the utter folly of continuing this
party in power. They have become so sccus-
toned to this wasteful squsndering of the
public money on partisan favorites that
they viii not and can not stop. The only
relief for the people Is to turn them out.
Let voters who think of sdhering to the for
tunes of the Republican party ask them
selves ifthey can sanction such useless and
wssteful plundering any longer.

COMPARISONS FOR CONGRESS-
APPROPRIATIONS, ESTIMATES AND

APPROPRIATIONS, ESTIMATES AND
EXPENDITURES. o -ee a3
SOME SALTY STATISTICS FROM REPUBLICAN
STANDPOINT.
The Cincinnati Commercial OF yesterday
editorially reviews the appropriations, esti-
mates and expenditures of congress: The
proper committees of congress are now
busily engaged in preparing the various sp-
preparation bills for the action of the House
of Representatives. We look upon the
proper distribution of the budget OF ex-
penditures as perhaps the most important
of the varied functions which the copsfitu-
ton and the laws devolve upon members
of congress. 1t Is of vital interest to every
taxpayer that the government under
which be lives should be carried on
with as close regard to econ
omy OF expenditure as is consistent with
efficiency of administration in the public
business. Extravaganza like that lately
witnessed in the departments and bureaus,
and in the subsidiary rsmificstions of the
public business throughout the country, is
direct and palpsole oppression or the peo-
pie. The people are taxed not for the neces-
ssry and economical expenses of govern
ment, but to pay endless expenditures for
useless offices, supernumerary clerks and
officials, and unjusti6sble extravagsnces in
public buildings, forts, contingent expenses,
river and harbor improvements, and all
sorts of treasury leaks, which, II they do not
involve corruption, involve the most mex
cusable extravaganza. We propose TO show
in way not hitherto made palpable by an
exhibition of the figures, to what an extent
THE SWELLING OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE
has gone under the expansionists in Office
during the last few years. For this purpose
we shall compare not merely the expendi-
lures of the government before the war,
which first brought on the imitation at once
of the currency and the cost OF governments,
together with the multiplication of many
officers in all departments of the public ser
vice, but we propose to compare also the
figures of to- day with those of four years ago,
during the initiation times that preceded the
panic of 1873. It will be seen from this ex-
hibit that not only do the estimates of to-
day far more than double in each depart
ment the expenditure of fifteen years ago,
but that they are also very greatly in excess
of the expenses of the year 1872,
when the currency initiation was near it's
height, when the supernumerary officers,
created by congress to manage the vastly
expanded business growing out or the war,
had reached what ought TO be their
maximum, and when, moreover, the pros
porous state of the country justified if any
circumstances ever can JUSTIFY a liberal and
careless expenditure. The first column of
figures in the following table gives the
named for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1860, The second column gives the amount
estimated for the same objects and sub
mitted to congress in the book of

There is an evidence of some power in
Hiram Brownlee to awaken enthusiasm
that ought not to be ignored by the Repub-
lican party in the coming canvass. Morton
and his bloody shirt could not bring out
the women with their sleeves rclled up, in,
such gush of enthusiasm. In fact, there
is no one that we can think OF, at this mo-
ment, who would swing round through
the districts of the state with more
signal eclat. The raising OF his gloved,
hand would be a signal for pro-
longed applause. He need not
speak at all. The simple wave of tho hand
would be sufficient. Let the county con-

The Walhalla Courier states that Mr.. ]. A.
Cooper was arrested on the 9rd inst. and
lodged in the Jail Of Oconee County. He
broke open registered letters more than two
years ago at England Point, Cherokee Coun-
ty, N. G., and has been skulking the officers
of the law ever since that time in North Car
olina, Tennessee and South Carolina.
A difficulty occurred at BarnwelI G. d.
on Monday night, 7th inst, in which
Thomas Hogg was killed, and William
Hogg seriously wounded in the jugular vein.
The trouble arose out of an old quarrel be-
tween the brothers Hogg and man named
Harden. Several parties were engaged in
the row, but 1t is not yet known who did the
shooting.
The Edgefield Democracy met on the first
Monday In this month, and arranged for q
thorough organization. Gen. M. W. Gary,
John G. Sheppard, Esq, and Gen. M. c.
Butler addressed the meeting at considerable
length, and all in strain of pure and un.
alloyed Democracy-straight-out and unen-
tangled. The advertiser says Edgefeld is at
present opposed to any manner of coalition,
save only the voluntary coming over of the
negroes to our platform.
The Laurensville Herald pointedly e1-
presses its sentiments as follows: Let those
who have expressed-and those who feel
without expressing-a preference for Cham
berlain for second term as Governor of
South Carolina, put 1t in their pipes and
smoke 1t, that this selfsame model Gov
ernor regards it feather in his official and
political cap that "neger since 1858 were
there so faw Democrats in Office in this State
as since my (his) administration"
The Pickens Sentinel manifests its good
sense in the following sentence: 'It does
seem that the Governor, if he be sincere in
his protestations of reform, should not be so
persistently selfish as to ignore the good and
sound men in the State, and who are known
to be honest, and give out his appointments
to men within bis party, that even their
most intimate friends and acquaintance
know to be infamous and dishonest
bringing discredit and ruin upon the state.".
