The committees on expenditures
ofall the departments of the govern
ments are at work as they never
worked before, and when they are
heard from we shall be certain to
find many an avenue of gross
extravaganza and corruption closed.
The Republicans and the republican
organs do not like all this. 1t cuts
off there patronage It driven their
friends to make an honest living. 1t
confines the expenses Of government
to what is actually necessary. 1t is
embarrassing in every way.It breeds
dissatisfaction and discomfort, and
makes the chaps who shout for
what they call 1.-THE glorious princi-
pies Of republicanism" unenthusias-
tic and d0wnhearted and dispirited.
The best way in the world
to kill a political party is to starve
it. The Democratic party in the
House, holding the purse strings of
the nation, is, by its policy starv-
ing out the republican truly loyal
camp followers, offceholders aud
political frauds generally. It is be
hoped the Democratic party in the
House will continue to pursue this
policy. Reduction of the expenses OF
the government means the prosper
ity of the taxpayers and Of the whole
people. Baltimore Gazette.

To make farming pay, everything
connected with it must be done in
its proper time and place. The
winter months ought to be utilized.
They can be as profitable as any
other months in the year. Why
then prostitute them to laziness and
to thriftless habits? There is but
one way whereby to get out of debt
and bankruptcy, and that is to work,
from early morn to late at night.
Work is the grand panacea for hard
times. And the time for work,
earnest and persistent, has arrived
Let no more precious time he was
ted. Let work be commenced and
persevered in, increasingly, and sue
cess and Astounding prosperity viii
crown our labors.-[Southern Farm

Caution, accuracy, diligence in
ascertaining the truth, and a scrnpu-
lous, conscientious fidelity to fact,
are as indispensable ina newspaper
as they are in the relations of pri-
vate lite. Indeed in u certain sense
they are even more SO, siuce tue
newspaper reaches and affects thous,
ands Of minds. Such caution and
vigilance are not 0nly demanded by
the law Of honesty and truth, but
by the interest of every newspaper;
for no Journal can prosper without
the confidence of the public, and
that confidence can only be obtained
and preserved by truthfulness.-N

WASHINGTON, February 1O.--It is
stated that Senator Bruce, OF Mis-
sissippi, in executive session today,
pronounces himself as opposed to
Grant for the tlnrd term. He was
quite emphatic. He thought Grant
did not care for the South, aud said
he would not support him if nOmina-
ted. He further stated that the col.
ored people had better make terms
with the resident whites OF the
South.
Bruce is a colored Republican,
and, like Jere HARRISON, advises bis
race to snake terms with the resi-
dent whites of the Soush.n Not q
bad idea, either, colored men Of

coulter deep-plough straight fur
row to the end-and if any decayed
Radical roots hinder your progress,
turn them under. Keep no scare

come about coaxing you to mix Rad

them IN a way that they will not be

Dogs vs.. Sheep.

1udt Otu CuIiStA0u 6a"nt " 49,
Apostolic times named st. Paul,
never uttered a more important in
junction than when he said, "Be-
ware of dogs" In our younger days
we were more particular in Observ-
ing this warning than in later years.
In fact we now feel like entering
into war of determination against
these useless and expensive cOncom-
itants of modern society. We think
the proper relations of this animal
to all decent people is stated in Rev.
elation, % chapter and Is verse;
"For without are dogs, and SCORERS
and whoremongers, and murderers
and idOlaters, &C." We do not te-
lieve that any dog has any rights
that people in the higher walks OF
life are bound to respect. Ofcourse
those who are sufficiently low and
vile as to lie down with dogs must
expect to get up with feas. We do
not propose just now, however, to
write chapter on dogology. Our
attention has been called to the sub
ject of dogs by the Introduction Of
| y bill in the Legislature by the Hon.
John Young, OF Claiborne. to ell
courage sheep growing. Mr.. Young
informed the House 'sthat although
the bill was a general one, it was
expected to be applied especially to
the northwestern parishes, where
sheep raising was profitable, and
where it was found that the great.
est drawback to the industry was
the depredations Of dogs upon
| flocks. The bill gave to the Police
Jury of every parish power to i'm
pose an annual tax Of sixty cents
upon every dog, and from the fund
thus collected the owner Of sheer
destroyed by dogs may be REIN
bursed to the amount of two thirds
of his loss. Where there was NJ
sheep raising there would be no oc
casion for the taxi

sheep have been killed by dogs ant
only 2,267 by wolves. The amour

ing to the Agricultural Report, ha

ACCIDENT TO THE FAST MAIL-0n last Thurs
day night the limited lightning mail passed
through Canton on its westward way, on the
usual time, under charge of conductor Eph Bur-
nett. The train was made up of the engine, one
baggage, one mail and two passenger coaches. At
point between Lakeville and shreve, the heavy
rains which had fallen, washed the track away,
and caused dangerous place. The fast mail
went laundering along at its usual speed, and
when it reached the washout, there was crash
and total wreck of the train. Fortunately there
was no embankment which might have made the
accident more fatal to human life. The engine
and cars, however, were badly broken and piled
up in one confusing mass. Engineer, John Hess,
was seriously injured, his scalp being nearly torn
from his head, and he was otherwise used up,
though not fatally. The fireman, whose name we
were unable to ascertain, was also considerably
bruised. In the baggage car were two express
messengers, returning west to take an eastern rum
and baggage master Hays. When the crash came
the two messengers made spring and caught an
iron rod near the top of the car saving themselves
by hanging clear of the trunks and boxes that
were iammed together and tossed about Hays,
however, was not so fortunate he jumped to catch
the rod, too but failed to reach It, and falling
back to the floor, was caught and jammed be-
tween heavy trunks and dangerously injured;
probably his injuries will prove fatal his shoul-
der blade and left arm are badly fractured; but
his most dangerous injuries are internal. One
passenger in the forward coach was slightly
bruised, but none others were hurt in the least,
though all were frightened badly Nearly all the
night, and greater part of the next day were re.
auired In repairing the track and clearing the
wreck, and express matter which should have
arrived here on Friday morning, was twenty-tou

Jean Broadus, Sidney W. Sea and Paul Cornell
in company with John W. Norris, arrived in this
city. The three gentlemen named are well
known Chicago capitalists, the latter one being
proprietor of the Cornell Watch Factory, south
Chicago. TheJ went Immediately to the safe
works and met C. H. Jackson, one of the assignees
of Diebold, Norris & Co., and submitted to him
proposition to purchase all the chattel property Of
the concern, excluding the building only at their
full appraised value Mr. Jackson went to Pitts
burgh Immediately to consult with R. ]. Ander-
son, the other assignee, and they settled the mat
ter, so far as they are concerned, by agreeing to
accept the proposition of the Chicago men This
will be of no good, however until confirmed by
the Probate court, from whom the assignees OBJ
tanned the right to dispose of the works at private
SALE The prevailing idea is that the Chicago
parties, if their purchase is confirmed, will lease
the building for four, eight, or maybe twelve
months, and run the shop; but that they intend
ultimately removing the machinery stock, &c, to
Chicago, is also generally believed number of
our best citizens have met and concluded to do
all in their power to keep the works where they
are, and it is 70 be hoped thex will succeed
