INFRINGEMENT. = The Democratic press
give the country the assurance that the esti-
mates OF the departments for the expenses OF
government will be reduced by the Democrat
ic Congress $40,000,090. 1t is stated that Mr..
Randall, the chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, has said so. The Baltimore
Americans Washington correspondent, who is
about as well informed as amy of the Congress-
men, to say the least, says 'sThe continued
assertion that the Democratic Congress will be
able to cut down the appropriations forty mil
lion dollars has no foundation in fact, and it is
simply preposterous to attempt to do it and
not embarrass the general operations of the
government. The general sentiment is that
they will be reduced about twenty-five mil
lions. The last Congress reduced the estl-
mates twenty millions. No member of the
Appropriation Committee will assert that they
can be cut down forty milions.''

THE PLAIN TRUTH-A telegram from
Covington, received in this city Saturday even
ing, announced that Mr.. Samuel Carpenter
member of the House from Allegheny county
had broken out with the smallpox. Mr.. Car.
penter was one of the room-mates of the late
Judge Sieg. He left the city as soon as Judge
Seg's disease was discovered
Upon arriving at Covington the authorities
required him to seclude himself for sixteen
days. He occupied an clubhouse on his own
farm for the time designated and at the expr-
alton OF it came out free from any sign of the
disease. Three or four days afterwards un.
mlstakable symptoms appeared, and his con
dition is now quite serious.
There is no case of actual smallpox in Rich :
mond. Jerry Nelson, a colorcd man who
waited on Judge Seig, has the varioloid, and
is undergoing treatment at the small pox hos
pital west Of Hollywood. He was yaccinated
some twenty-five or thirty years ago, and that
may be the means of saving his life. A color
edservant woman, who also waited upon Judge
Seig, has very slight and Insignificant attack
of variolod. A young lady living in the west
ern part of the city has either the cllieken-pox,
or varioloid of mild type. 1t is impossible
to tell yet which it is.
The facts are from an official source and NAV
be relied upon. Our people have been SO
thoroughly vaccinated the physicians declare
there is no danger Of smallpox becoming ED.

The WAig is very much concerned about the
election in Augusta county, and desires a Con-
vention OF the Conservative party to nominate
candidate for the Legislature. Our cotem-
porary is not posted. 1t would be a fatal pol
icy to the party it wants to serve, to call a
Convention. We do not think one could be
gotten up, in the first place; and we do not
believe, should one be called, and 4 nomina-
ton made, he could be elected. liking Caucus''
has had his day in this county. and he is now
so dead that even the organs Of the party here
dare not favor his resurrection.
A writer in the Wing Of the Sd, signing him
selfa ''True Conservative, urges a Convention,
and hopes Messrs. Stuart and Opie will ask for
one to decide their claims. He says he never
bolted his party, not even when Greeley was
nominated. That is doubtless so, and others,
too voted for Greeley for the same reason, and
just there is where the thing hurts. 1t was
shown that everything had to be subordinated
to what the wire pullers regarded expedient.
The people were deceived then, and have been
growing weary of the caucus ever since, until
now they will not submit to one. Let the
Whig save its lamentations for some other
time; they viii prove vain in this instance.

INFRINGEMENT AND REFoRM.-The AL
exandria Gazette, good Conservative authority.
gives the following succinct account of the pro-
gress OF the 'sretrenchinent and reform'' move
ment OF the Conservative Legislature .sTwo
or three of the older members of the Lepisla-
ture started out this session with the ayowed
purpose OF 'retrenchment and reform and
10! one door keeper of the House of Delegates
has been dropped, and there the retrencIment
and reform dropped. sRetrenchment and re-
form begins with each session, but like Bob
Acres courage, 'oozes out very seon.''

Capt. Opie seems to be in favor of foreign
Intervention. He wants Judge Crump, of
Richmond, Maj. Daniel, of Lynchburg, and
Gov. Letcher, of Rockbridge, to say who is the
proper person to represent the Conservative
party of Augusta county in the Legislature
1t would be a pretty piece of business for the
people of Augusta to acknowledge that they
were not capable of attending to their own af-
fairs. The people have gotten their backs up
now, and are going to have their own way in
this election, and it is no use to try to force any
party machinery upon them. Mr.. Stuart reply
was very proper one, that he did not feel at
liberty to take any steps to take out of the
hands OF the people OF Augusta the right to
elect their own representative. This is sub
stantially slap at the caucus system, and is
good sense, besides.

A Specimen of Conservative Economy

| The Legislature of Virginia refused to pass
the resolution of Senator Cochran, asking ali
appropriation of $l0,0 600 to make provision for
the proper representation of Virginia and vir-
gnia products at the Centennial Exhibition
This was because. as claimed, that the State
was not able to make the appropriation. This
| manifestation of a disposition to cconomize was
all very well, had it not proved a mere mock
cry. This same body adjourned from the 23d
| OF December to the 2Sth. limiting the time so
| that the members could draw their pay for the
vacation determined on. This was simply
deception. They had no intention Of meeting
again on the 2Sth, and did not. Indeed, the
body was not organized for real business be-
fore the 4th inst, if then. Yet the members
will draw their per diem of Sc each, for the
time they were not in session, or at least were
giving no equivalent for the money drawn,
amounting to $4,000 Or $lS,O00 If the spirit
OF economy, given out with so much sympathy
for Virginia's impoverished condition, which
tennial, had been applied to their own services,
this large amount OF per diem, taken for visit
ing their homes during the holidays, would
have been saved to the State The $40. 900 an
proprated to the Centennial would have been
OF some real service to the Commonwealth. as
it would have brought to the attention of the
whole civilized world the wonderful resources
OF Virginia. The amount paid to the men,
bers OF the Legislature for doing nothing from
the 23d OF December to the 4th OF january
will furnish no return it is lost to all but the
persons who drew it. Such is Conservative
economy, and the care that party is taking of
the peoples interests.

ceiYer of the road, he having been designated
to that position by Judge Wexford, of Rich
