ECONOMY AND REFORM.

Mr.. Randall, at.least among the Demo-
cratic leaders, Is not disposed to drop the
great issue of economy and reform. Men
may come and men may 90, Hayes may
be counted in and Tilden may be counted
out, but'this question Of expenditure and
taxation, Of saving, Of squandering the
public money, remains all the same, and
the people of all grades and classes are
interested In it equally yesterday and to-
day. 'f 'I-Ill = ~ :
1t was upon their promises to correct
the wild extravaganza, and curtaiI the
enormous expenditures, which had been
steadily growing under Republican aus,
spices, that the Democrats swept the
country in 1874, and it was upon similar
pledges that they secured million ma
jority Of the white voters, and nineteen
majority OF the electoral votes, for their
candidate for President in 1870. The
late House of Representatives testified its
sense Of this issue by choosing for Speak
er at the second session, the man who at
the first session had led the assault upon
the old abuses and fostering corruptions
Of the Administration. And Mr.. Ran
dali, it appears, is fully determined that
neither the pledges nor the performers of
his party in that regard shall be over
looked. His recent visit to New Hamp-
shire was converted into a sort of pro-
gress, in which men Of all parties seem
TO have offered spontaneous homage to
the stern leadership which held the late
House infexibly 70 the great work of re-
|trenchment. r3-5o-l t.s =
At Dover and Portsmouth Mr.. Ram
dali was presented to meetings which were
described by the telegraph as ovations,
and whose proportions argued the pres
ence ot many Republicans, who took this
method of exhibiting their Conscience in
the leader, while rejecting his party. But
the exhibit he had to make was enough
to have staggered even Bourbon Repub-
lican audience in any quarter of the
country except in that benighted region
where they still administer test oaths,
exclude Catholics from office, and discuss
the probability of another Gunpowder
Plot. Here is what the reports say of it
He reviewed at length the record of the
Forty fourth Congress, and contrasted the
appropriations of that Congress with the
Forty third. the preceding one, showing
that the appropriations of the Forty fourth
were $72, ,000, 900 less than those of the Forty-
third, estimating the probable army ap-
preparation Of the extra session at $4,000
900 for force of 10000 men, as it was likely
to be.
Seventy-two millions saved BY the
sturdy frugality Of the lower House
against the strenuous opposition of the
Senate and the Executive, and that in
two sessions, constitutes claim to pub
Tic confidence which cannot be ignored
1t is not too much to say that, but for
Mr.. Randall, this claim could not have
been made by his party.

California is destined 10 be one of the
most populous and flourishing States in
the Union. The valleys of Sacramento
and San Joaquin contain rwenty-three
millions of acres ofland, fertile, healthy,
easily cultivated, .and yielding a rich
variety of grain and fruits. san Fran
cisco numbers 100000 people, and with
its suburbs considerably more. Just now
there is the anticipated of renewed and
augmented prosperity in mining, and there
is the certainty that wheat growing is,and
will be, profitable. If sheep raising has
been in some cases Improbable, on the
whole it has bestowed almost universal
competence, and in many cases large
wealth. All kinds of produce can be
grown, manufactures are increasing, and
the commerce with ASIA promises to be a
source of great profit.

THE WIFE BEATER'S PILLORY
From the Vir0inio Chronicle.

The woman beater's post, which now
stands brim and inexoragle at the corner
of the county Jail, is an object of interest
to scores who visit it daily. 1t is about
eight feet high and eight inches square,
made of pine, with two round pegs, about
an inch in diameter, run through it at a
point about five feet from the ground. The
arms ofthe victim will be run through
these pegs and tied behind.
No one passes the wife beater's post
without stopping to inspect it and make
some remarks. A woman who passed it
yesterday paused before it for moment
and calculated, "Thank God!'' The post
has several inscriptions scribbled upon it
in pencil, some of which read as follows:
"Stewart's bil," "The Widder," "Fee
the Judge" "Here's the place to get Well
Posted" ,""A Household Treasure" mo

invaders to retreat.
In these battles the Turkish army seems
