The Auditors report for 1878 was receiv-
cd too late for careful examination. At my
req uest, however. the Auditor has furnish
ed me ;he items which show an increase OF
court expenses in 1878 above 1876 of over
S35 600.
am assured that often the entire sum Of
the verdcts OF a term of court fall far short
of the expenses OF the term to the State. No
further comment on court expenses is needed.
| have omitted in the foregoing tables. some
items of extraordinary expenses. and Others
having no bearing on the general question :;
but the grand total gives the State expen-
ses for ls60, Sl42, gs2 iS and for 1876, with
the expense of session OF the Legislature
added, S326 726 y6 without the session ex-
pcnses, S21i 954 10
Dividing the expense OF n session, as they
are now biennial. and adding One-hnlf to
the other expenses for 1879. gives $685.
$40 81, or SlI L. less than double the ex-
pensrs of 1861, which included the entire
expenses 0i h session.
The State tax Tor five years preceding the
war averaged sixteen and One-htth per cent
and thls included large appropriations for
bulldlng the State House. | think the
State expenses ought to be 50 reduced that
a tax Of twenty cents will be ample. and

required, Tor our public charities. schools,
and all objects worthy OF our attention.

SImo OF 1t is called Tor by additional duties
and responsibilities thrown upon the vari-

manliestiy just and reasonable. But quite
part OF 1t has come from the general ten
dency Of the time towards liberal expendi-

AN UNKNOWN FACT, that new
papers, like every other business
enterprise requires money. The
4 cdidnche, a daily paper published
in the city of Memphis, which is
familiar to most of our readers, has
had serious trials-or at least the
business Manager has--tO get rid
OF advertising gratis all the religious,
benevolent, and CHI ,rity Institutions
incident 20 that city. The polite
business man tried to explain to
many of such applicants that it
required money to keep up the
AUaianche, but some ladies got
offended and berated him soundly
There are a few we are glad to know
who desire to do right and are
willing TO give Quid pro quo. Such
escape the general bad repute into
which their opposites get, in a
newspaper office.
Taken collectively, these imposi-
tons upon a newspaper amount in
a year to hundreds of dollars. Men,
women and children seem 10 think
that every matter of interest to
them should be ventilated, free OF
charge, because their neighbor takes
the paper and they occasionally |
to borrow il. People |
who are always trying to get things
into print without paying
for them rarely buy paper or
advei tise. If Il few of the philan-
thropists at other peoples expense,
and benevolent hands with other
peoples money, would only show a
to divide the thing, "
half the time going into their own
purse instead of that of the publ y
it would seem more lovely.
The CITIZEN does not feel o
sphere of duty to embrace assist
lnce in supporting every religious
,r benevolent Sole Y. 1t would re-
'pectfully ask to be treated as are
,ither business concerns, with the
that it will endeavor to
10 its best in return.
