WHAT is called "a deficiency BILL"
now before the United States senate,
Is not properly deficiency bill. But
little OF the million and more provided
for Is for deficiencies. On the contrary
Ii Is for future expenses. and much Of 1t
for expenses of new and questionable
character. II the bill shall get through
the senate the house majority will do
we'll to scan 1t closely. The beneficlsries
---ihe people who are to be continued
in the public scrvice--are among the
worst characters made notorious during
the TWO terms Of Grant. They arc men
that no man vIuches for. They are
moral and social Uiitcasts. They have
heretofore been used, by corrupt secreta-
ries. to laid" M the administration OF
justice. and while 80 employed have won
the contempt OF vii good citizens by
turning Into merchandise the power
which their irregular government EN-
ployment at once gave them and pro-
tscted them in selling. The bill will
bear careful examination. But We start>
ed out to protest against calling 1t "deI
iiciency" bill. At the elections this fall
we shall hear Republican orators de.
nouncing Democratic attempts at econo-
my, and abiding 10 this money as a
deficiency" made necessary by iniudi'
cious reductions in appropriations.

LONDON, March %, 8 a. m.--The meet.
INK Of the congress Is already regarded as
seriously endangered by Englands de,

the whole OF the Russao>T Turkish treaty.
1t Is now more than probable that Eng-

and that the congress will therefore not
assemble. 1t is expected
IN THAT CASE
That Russia will obtain the sanction of
Germany aud Austria to the treaty at
once without difficulty, and probably
that OF Italy. England will then have no
alternative but TO accept accomplished
facts or undertaken war TO dispossess
Russia. The feeling Of anxiety here 10

decided 20 postpone the withdrawal of
her troops from the vicinity Of Constan.

THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN.

Our friend Barton, Of the Carbonate
Free Press, places such a high estimate upon
The DAILY BULLETIN, and the newspaper
al merit Of its editor, that we have hesitated
to republish his good opinion, fearing that
the suspicious reader might not regard it Il
voluntary offering. But we have finally
overcome our hesitation, and, excluding
three lines of over partial cxtollation of
the editor, we give the balance Of the good
notice entire.
"CARo DAILY BuLETIN.--This paper is
now under the editorial control Of our old
and esteemed friend, NJ. b. llarrcll. Years
ago we learned to appreciate the ability Of
Mr. H. rs an editor Under
the management OF the late Mr.. Nally, The
BULLETIN came nearly up to our standard
OF excellence, but we think Mr. Harrell has
improved even on Mr. Nally, TIE Bull
LETlY is credit to the newspaper business,
an institution which the people Of Cairo and
Southern Illinois should appreciate and sus-
tain The weekly is a large forty-eight
column paper 1t is pure, chastc and inter-
csting, and should be in every family in
this part of the state. The BULLETIN is
Democratic in its politics, but Is as progress
sive as any Democratic paper can be. We
like the paper, ami commend it to a general
circulation in this section
Our contemporary of the Clinton (Ky)
Democrat, is also quite partial toward The
BULLETIN; but we give his kind reference
to it in full. He says:
I'VE see from Il late number Of THE
CAIRO BULLETIN, that Mr. VI. b. lIarrell
has again assembled the tripod, and is now
editor Of the paper. Mr.. lIarrell is one OF
the best political writers in Illinois, and his
Democracy is of the simon-pure sort. With
his pen to inditc the matter for The Bui-
LELlN, it is bound - make a salutary i'm
pres, upon the great mass Of voters who
read it,"
