The Democrats and Retrenchment

The public are coming to understand
the meaning and working of the retrench-
ment policy of the Ex-Conlederates Ia
Congress. The laboreTs turned out OF
employment by the suspension OF business
upon public works realize how it Is. 80
do thousands of others who were not en-
ployed in the government and despise
humbug and pretended economy. "Above
ALL" says the New York Herald 1.-The
country is awakening to the fall meaning
of what the democratic House intended
by retrenchment As we showed during
these discussions, nothing was easier than
to retrench with judgment; nothing more
dangerous than to do SO rashly. Common
sense indicates what is necessary to carry
expenses and the employment OF vast
number of people. We need an army, a
navy a civil service. Every sensible man
knows that our army is child's toy COM
pared with the armies of the Continent :;
that our navy would be blown out of the
water in twenty -four hours by the navy of
England. Every sensible man knows
that the salaries of our civil servants,
our Judges. Cabinet Ministers and impor-
tant public functuaries are absurdly small
when compared with those paid in Eng
land. Yet the basis of the democratic
plan of retrenchment was to strike at the
army and navy. and weaken the Treasury
by reducing the numoer4sf agents neces-
sary to collect the revenue. Consequent
ly from the army and the navy, from ev-
cry department of the civil service, comes
the cry OF distress. Every man who loses
a place, every furloughed naval officer,
every retired soldier becomes an apostle
for Hayes. The country, which is never
mean or grudging, says at once that when
it spoke of reform it did not mean that an
officer who had been all his life in the ar
my or the navy should be turned out to
starve, or that revenue should be lost be-
cause we did not have men enough to col
lect it. 1t would not surprise US if this
retrenchment legislation should prove the
chief burden to the canvass of Tilden."

evading the payment OF income tax. The
evidence In support of the charge would
prove that he committed perjury to ac-
compish his purpose. The Government
is constantly prosecuting cases identical
with this in their nature. 1t has always
on hand cases in which persons holding
apparently respectable positions are pro-
ceeded against-soinetimes criminally,
sometimes civilly-for deirauding it in
revenue matters. To show its regard for
law, it may point to penitentiaries in
which convicts are atoning tor robbing the
Treasury OF its dues and swearing falsely
to conceal their crimes. There is no
moral difference between the otfenses
which convicted whiskey thieves are ex-
plating in Illinois and Missouri and the
oilense that lies at the door of Samuel j.
Tildcn. This only is in his favor: The
lapse CT time frees him from liability to
criminal prosecution. Otherwise, he and
the whiskey thieves are on the same level.
How would the law-abiding portion of the
American people like to see the President
struggling in a court Of law TO escape the
consequences of fraud upon the revenue
perpetrated by him in his capacity as citi-
zen? Would not every smuggler. every
man now undergoing punishment for rev.
enue frauds, be entitled to claim pardon
if Mr. Tilden, being President. and con
victcd in due process OF law of the frauds
which his own conflicting aflidayits es-
tablish against him were simply fined ?
What would be be the judgment Of the
civilized world upon the democratic party
which sustains Mr.. Tilden in spite of his
fraud. Or upon the working of republican
Institutions if, as their product, they gave
us a President who forswore himself and
cheated the Government to make himself

and makes six fields necessary instead
of five, but it gives 8 variety of crops,
one valley to feed to either pigs or
sheep, and two to sell. 1t also leaves
the ground in the very best order, that
beneath the peas being shaded aud en-
riched that beneath the bean and pota-
toes being cultivated and kept free
weeds, AID the whole being mellowed
and kept most, so that when plowed it
can be brought into the best condition
for the seed. A field may be divided
suitably for these crops, giving such a
portion for each as may be desirable.
For those who keep much stock the
fodder corn will be found of much
value for feed, and of the greatest
benefit to the soil, which is shaded,
kept cool and moist, and is cleaned
and cultivated three or four
times while the crop is growing. 1t is
also an easy crop upon the soil, taking
but little from it, and if
moderately fortified with guano
or superphosphate, leaves the
ground better than 1t found it. We are
satisfied that either Of these methods
will be found more profitable as to yield
and more beneficial as to the condition
of the soil than the present unsatisfac-
tory one of following oats directly with
wheat, plan that ought to be aban-
doned wherever it can be.-New York

A. Curiosity.

We We're yesterday shown a piece Of
common bar-soap, upon the sides Of
which were clinging and growing sew
eral forms Of minute vegetation, which
seemed to be a sort Of connecting link
between very fine grass and that COM
mon outgrowth of microscopic vegeta-
tion called mold. The bar had recently
been taken from the box, and the pale
yellowness of the growing substance
was plainly indicative of production
formed away from much light. The
probable theory of the case is this:
That the bar of soap had been made in
some place or stored in some place
where there was a. warm, damp atmos-
phere, and that while there spores, or
the minute parts Of fowerless plants by
which they are reproduced, found their
way into the box and there terminated
These spores are light enough to float
in any ordinary humid atmosphere,
and are, in fact, the cause of what is
commonly known as mold; but in the
present case the species of outgrowth
was SO plainly unlike the ordinary
kinds of mOlds as to attract especial at
tention. Some of the specimens grew
at the distance of an inch or more from
the others, and were two and half
inches in length and of the consistency
of hair. The spores have foated in
and lodged, and termination having
once been started in an atmosphere
damp as well as warm, it was continu-
ed after the soap was transferred to
Our dry climate, sustenance being
drawn from the Virginia (Nev.)
En5erprlse.
