DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

Here's little batch of interesting

pay such claims as these:

About 300 of these bills were in.
troduced last winter into Congress by
democrats. They were not pressed
because northern democracy begged
them to hold on, as it would endan.

bills the Chicago Tribune says:
From the advance sheets of the
Congressional Record, giving the
official report of the proceedings Of
the first session of the Forty-fourtl
Congress, some interesting figures
are CLEANED. The democrats have
been at great pains to dodge the ques.
ton of Southern claims, denying
that any considerable number of these
claims were introduced in the Con.
federate House. The Record shows
whether the southern brethren arc as
moderate and forbearing in the mat

like to make them appear. 1t shows
that in the bills for southern claims
introduced at the first session Of the
Forty-fourth Congress the amount of
appropriations involved foots up the
enormous aggregate of $2,503, 622, 1856
IA sum considerably exceeding the
entire national debt.

The so-callcd democratic soldiers
display at Indianapolis, Indiana, on
the 9Th inst, was disgrace to the
nation. Two hundred rebel soldiers
were in the procession, and fully
three-fourths of it was made up by
persons who had never been in the
army. All this was evident from
their manner Of marching. Whatever

Cured while they were drilling as
Knights of the Golden Circle, to re-

Observed and recognized in that
procession, was Harrison Randall, OF
Putnam county, who raised compa-

fights occurred among the plug-uglies
which Tildcn's barrel of money haG
brought to indianapolis to swell TIT
soldiers procession. Thousands O
them were left behind, not expecting
