Successful Retrenchment.

1t Is agreeable to know that the lead
lock in Congress is gradually yielding To
the ifuence of moderate counsels, and
still more agreeable to know that it is
yielding IN the direction of fretrenchnent.
Both houses are making concessions,
but the Senate Is conceding
most. That stubborn body thought
it would never consent to the large re.
ductions IN appropriations proposed by
the House; but it is consenting, never.
theless. The House is carrying its points
and securing a decrease in the e1pendi.
lures that entitle it to the gratitude Of
the country. The army appropriation
bill, which stood SO long between the two
Houses, has been passed at last. 1t
reduces the expenditures Of the
army 81, $4,000 from last year. The de-
crease ought to have been more, but this
is something. The sundry civil aupro.
pria:ion bill also has been agreed to; it
appropriates s. 900, 900 less than last year.
In TACT every one Of the appro-
priation bills passed up to this
time makes an important reduction in
the expenditures, sndthe aggregate can &.
not be less than S25, ,000, 900 from the eI-
penditures of last year-a fact which the
Democratic House deserves the credit
for, as the Senate not only made no effort
to retrench, but fought the Houses re-
trenchmeat measures as long as il dared

THI noble army of Taxpayers should
keep thor eyes fixed on these two or
three tough little facts: The reduction
in the appropriation bill passed by the
Democratic branch of Congress, are over
100000 below the estimates of the
various departments for the resent fiscal
year, and the appropriations made by the
House are over sSO,OOO,Oo0 less for the
year ending JuAe 80, 1877, than the
similar appropriations made by the last
Congress for the year ending June 80,
1876. When the Democratic candidate
for the presidency was elected governor
of New York'the taxes were $l6, 6,OO0, 900
per annum. Under his administration
they have been reduced to $8,0O0,900.

Tyner was appointed to prevent the
Republican party from being john
sonized. No danger; johnson was an
honest man.
"Give the Devil his due" says the Chi.
cago Times. But we shouldn't have any
Republican party left. n.,
General Sherman denies that he advises
the determination of Wendell Phillips.
Phillips is still an abolitionist. He ad-
vises the abolition of General Sherman.
The probabilities are that the Indian
war will last till after November. The
regular troops will be needed to carry
elections in the south, you know.
Here is just the Chance. A seller Of
lager beer in New York offers to present
a chrome to any one drinking ten OF his

the feat; and if 1t is accomplished in the

William o. Avery is entitled to the

Indian followed his trail for nine miles.

him, and fears that the courlers who were

with dispatches for Gen. Crook have been
intercepted, as he saw their trail this

delay run him out of rations, compelling
him to fast two days. He left all quiet
