THE calculation in England is that
$l0,000,000 in gold will soon be trans

should be remembered that this is
chiefly on account of breadstuffs. When
the cotton crop goes forward, it will pull
still more gold from the vaults of
Europe,

Excess In favor of Democrats. S102 1S1 ,246 81
There was ON appropriation of $780,
867 200 for arrears of pension made for
1880 which is not included in the fore
going, because it was an exceptional
item and had no connection with the
regular expenditures. 1t is thus seen
that the difference between the four last
fiscal years under the Democratic House
and the four preceding years under
Republican Congresses exceeded $102,-
00,000-a retrenchment of more than
$25,500,000 year. The appropriations
for the years 1879 and 1880 are larger
than those for 1877 and 1878 by several
millions; but this difference is partially
explained by the wiping out of old de-
ficiencies in the navy and other branch
es of the public service that the Re-
publicans had bequeathed as legacies,
by the payment of the fishery award for
$5,500,000, and by other items.
While this record is Gre ditable to the
Democrats, as far as it goes, it might
have been far better. They have not
gone to the root of the evil by any
means, either in TIE civil branches or in
the army and navy, and they will de-
serve to be held to account, if, with
both branches of Congress, they fail to
make thorough retrenchment in the
public expenditures.
The increase in the cost of carrying
on the Government has been out of all
proportion to the increase of popula-
ton. In 1860 the civil and miscellane-
Gus expenses we're about $2o 100000 in
round numbers In 1876, the last year
of complete Republican rule in Con-
gress, they were $73,000,000. In 1867,
at the beginning of reconstruction,
when the Republicans had full swing,
the cost of the United States courts
was $1,629.536 for Marshals, District
Attorneys, United States Commissioners,
Clerks of Courts and miscellaneous
expenses. In 1878 the cost reached
$2,870,754 for the same service, except
that the Marshals under the Davenport
law for carrying elections had risen
from 81 ,203,214.74 in 1867 to 81 1881, :
244 in 1878.
This extravaganza, this plumber OF
the peoples taxes, is found wherever
the surface is scratched. 1t is organ
lied plunder protected by law, and the
party which tolerates it, votes for it by
indirection, or refuses to abolish it, de-
serves to go under in defeat and dis
grace, whether it be called the Demo
cratic or the Republican party.

The Democrats came into majority
in the House in the Forty-fourth Con-

appropriations for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1876, had already been
made. Therefore they began with that

CITY RAILWAY COMPANY-sEvERAL FIRE
MEN INJURED.
NEW YORK, November 25.-The depot
and stables OF tue Eighth-Avenue Railway
COMPANY, situated on Eighth avenue be-
tween Flfty-tirst and Flfty-sccond streets,
were discovered to be on fire this morning.
The flames spread so rapidly that in short
time they were beyond control, and soon
the structure was doomed. The walls have
commenced falling, and it is reported that
several tircmen have been injured. When
the fire broke out hut few employees were
about the stables. Heroic efforts were made
to rescue the horses, but out Of SeVcnty-tlye
on the second floor but thirty-five were
saved. There were about two hundred
horses on the third and fourth floors, OF
which only forty were brought out. The
suflerin@s Of many OF the horses saved from
the flames, scerched or burned, were terri
he TO witness. On the Fiftieth> street side
the flames spread with lightning rapility,
owing to the fact that immense quantities
of hay aud feed were stored there. 1t was
here that two gallant but unfortunate fire.
men were terribly mangled and another
badly injured. a ladder had been run ZIP
the wall and three members OF Engine Com
Dany No. /, OF Harlem, were at work. With.
out moments warning the wall fell in,
carving the ladder and tremen with it.
IQter.-Thc tire was finally gotten under
control but not until the building had been
entirely destroyed. -Four tiremen were bu-
ried under falling walls. but oDly two were
dangerously hurt. About one hundred
horses persisted in the flames. The COM
Dany estimates It's total loss at $3.50, 600,
winch is fully covered by Insurance.
