ECONOMICAL GOVhRNMENT.

Republicans have not been afraid to rest
their claim to public confidence on other than
pecuuiary grounds. 1t has seemed to them
enough that whatever the Government has
cost, it has cost less in proportion to its value,
less in proportion to the real good accom-
plished by it for the people, than Government
ever cost before in this country. The Demo-
cratic party, on the contrary. has been eager
TO challenge a comparison of gross expendi-
lures of the Government under different ad-
ministratons. TO every child it must be
clear that such comparison would involve
an enormous injustice, in this, that the
expenses caused by Democratic rebellion
are not honestly chargeabe TO Re-
publican Administration. Then, too, there
has been another fraudulent element in all
Democratic calculations of expenses of the
Government per capita. The entire Southern
population, slave as well as free, has been
taken In computation of expenses per head be-
fore the war, although the slaves were then
in no sense citizens, according 10 Democratic
theories nor were they fully represented as
population in the apportionment of Congress
sional seats or electoral votes. Evidently, an
honest computation would omit the slaves
from the population counted as governing the
country. Nevertheless, the difficulty of making
a fair comparison has been great, and it prob
ably has never been done as correctly as it is
done in The TRIBUNE to-day.
In an article elsewhere published will be found
"A correct statement, prepared from official
records, of the aggregate expenses of the
Government III certain years. OF the proper
tion of such expenses due to the Democratic
rebellion, and of the amount to each person
of the free population. In respect to the dis
elimination between expenses resulting from
the war and others not so resulting, the rea-
sons are given with the amounts in each case
and the classification can be corrected by those
who dispute its accuracy but 1t is clearly
shown that much larger proportion of ex-
penditures ought tn he attributed to the war

arraigns Mr.. Kelly for enjoying increased po-
litical strength because he is Roman
Catholic and the nephew of the Car

that this is mode of political argument

"EycouRAGEMEYT TO CHRISz1ANsn

AS an orator Lieutenant-G Governor Dorshei-
mer is, in the language of his audience, "no
"sloucb." He is, rs rule, eloquent, and upon
occasion dramatic. He is especially strong
with Tammany audience when he jingles in
among the pearls of his high discourse some
fine historic allusiOn OF illustration drawn
from the treasury of his abundant attain
ments In that department of human knowl-
edge. There is probably nothing in the way
of eloquence that rouses the enthusiasm of a
Democratic audience like a well turned period
with reference to the Middle Ages and the
Clusades. 1t may be doubted whether they
have any definite knowledge as to the sub
iect matter, but, all the same, it makes them
howl with mysterious sense of delight. So
the Lieutenant-Governor was particularly hap
py in that portion of his speech in Tammany
Hall the other night in which he likened the
Democracy of this city to the Knights of St.
"J0hn. who. seven centuries ago, were beset on
"all sides by the Turks, but held their citadel
with the flag of the Cross flying over il during
"a siege lasting twenty-five years." Nothing
could be neater than tnat That flag flying
"therC," he said, gave encouragement to
Christians III Europe until they achieved
"victory." Herein the orator not only fur
nlshed forth striking historic parallel to an
audience which readily dropped to the infer
ence that the flag on Tammany Hall is in this
age about the only encouragement there is left
TO Christians in Europe or anywhere else. but
ne no doubt conveyed fresh and interesting in
formation to many of his hearers, who had
heard hardly word from Malta since the
shipwreek of St. Paul.

The new rule adopted by the Police Board
yesterday, that "neither pistol nor baton
"shall be taken in the hand OF the officer ex-
"cept in case of need,r is a stern warning to
the force, which it will be wisdom to heed.
The Washington dispatches show that it is
as difficult sometimes for an aggrieved negro
to get justice In Maryland as in Mississippi.
The incidents narrated there of white mans
attempting to shoot negro, and succeeding
In killing his grandchild instead, and the
negro's vain efforts to have the murderer
punished, occurred only dozen miles from
Washington, and, the dispatch says,
"almost within sight of the dome of the
capitol"
The Bedford Farmers Club is steadily pro-
ceeding with its discussion of the way to
furnish and sell pure milk, and its debates
are far from being ruffled by the excitement
of the campaign. The members of the As
sociation have only TO adhere to the rules
adopted yesterday for the government of
their dairies, and to take means to con-
vince the public of that fact, in order to
achieve success. The people of this city have
no actual preference Tor the stuff that is sold
by a large proportion of dealers as milk; if
pure milk can be had, there will be plenty of
customers, as the success of the various
"glass-jar" companies recently established IN
the city clearly shows.
The death of General Hooker removes one
of the most interesting figures of the Civil
War. The name of Fighting Joe " was
household word all through the Union, and his
reputation for bravery and unselfish daring was
without bounds The quick. ardent tempera-
ment of the man was what gave him his
fame and success, and yet checked both. 1t
is an interesting, though useless, subject of
speculation to wonder to what higher place
in the ranks of the heroes of the war his
military ability might have carried him If Il
choleric temper had not led him, at a
critical time, to resign his post, and
with il, as was afterwards proved, the prob
ability of a great triumph. If Fighting Joe
Hooker had won the battle of Gettysburg,
instead of retiring from his command just OH
the eve of it, his place in the history of the
country might have been very different. But
his record. somewhat fragmentary as 1t was,
was a brilliant one. lie served his country
bravely and well in two wars, and earned the
high honor which his memory will surely re-
ceive.
If the meeting of the Board of Estimate aud
Apportionment could have been postponed
until after election. it would probably have
been more dignified affair. As 1t was, the
Mayor and Controller brought all the eferyes-
cenoe of the campaign with them, and
Sized and hlssed. now and then III the

More Mississippi Reputation
Slang.

In a speech delivered recently at Chi
cago, Hon. Mr.. Garfield, Republican Re
preventative from Ohio, III describing the
horrors of State Reputation, stated that
an eminent gentleman of Mississippi,
"a gentleman of national reputation, re-
D." Gently declined en important and hon
"orable business mission to Europe on
" the ground that his usefulness would
81 be seriously impaired by the fact that
g Europeans still charge Mississippians
- with financial bad faith. And thus, "
(says the Ohio Peeksniff,) "a single
6 act of reputation has cast its blight
:. ing shadow across a quarter of centu-
ry; still clouds the prosperity of a
. great State; and criPpIes the influence
of its worthiest citizens"
Now we wish We could make the Hon.
Mr. Garfield of Ohio, who either ignor
antly or maliciously defames Mssis-
sippi, understand that the people of this
State have never repudiated debt
which they authorized to be contracted,
or the benefits of which they received,
always excepting the obligations incurred
in the war for Southern independence
and which were not paid because the
United States government did so de-
cree.
If Mr.. Garfield wanted an example of
and unmitigated repudia-
ton, why did lie not cite the case of the
State OF Minnesota situated
ia tho neghborhood where his address
was delivered and which could not well
have escaped his observation if he really
wanted to adorn a tale or point a moral
On the subject of reputation. La 1858
MINNESOTA borrowed two millions, two
hundred and seventy five thousand dol
airs to build railroads, and did build
hem; and she has thrice by distinct
popular vote repudiated the debt, both
principal and interest.

fifty-nine indictments for political often

Oxford; that Capt. Frank Burkitt, P.

been designated as the victims in the
Okolona vicinage, and that Monroe,
Clay and Lowndes counties are required
to furnish their quota. The Chickasaw
Messenger says that these proceedings
are designed to overawe the white De-
mocracy and to pave the way for the res,
toration of Radical rule in this State

The Silver QWesGiOn and the Pres
ideutiaI Contest.

The war upon silver is to be prosecuted
vigorously by the bondholding interest
who not only want 'coin," but gold
coin which they are aiming to make
as dear as possible. The New York
Chamber of Commerce representing the
money power, has adopted resolution,
calling upon Congress to amend the e1-
listing law so as to further limit the coin
age of the silver dollar and its use as a
legal tender. Our friends can very east
" see where the lines of the next Presi-
dental battle are to be drawn. The
Democracy of Mississippi will stand
squarely upon the resolution unanimous
" passed by the Legislature at the last
session.

IT has not yet been determined in
Northern communities which is the most
approved plan in that region for one matri-
monial partner to get rid of the other in
order to take up with a new affinity.
The problem may be settled after the
judicial determination of two cases that
are now pending, that of Mr.. Einsi g in
Pennsylvania, "who seized his wife, bent
her head back, and deliberately cut her
throat from ear to ear with butchers
knife and then served her infaut child
and her father in the same way" Or that
of Mrs. Cobb at Hartford, Connecticut,
who put an end to the life of Mr. Cobb by
the assistance of an accomplice, one Mr..
Bishop, by administering poison in his
food.

IT is evident that the silver question
is not settled. The organs of the money
power openly boast that the Treasury
of the United States nullifes the law BY
locking the coin in its vaults" The N.
7. Times the ablest among them makes
this boast openly, and says that the whole
action of the United States (referring to
the proceedings of Congress) ''has been a
wretched piece of laundering or worse"
But the people, who after all are the
rulers, will see that their demands are
respected.

that the address of his paper be changed

long and intimately. His removal is
prompted by desire to enter larger
field of labor in his profession We are
taking liberty which he may not APP
prove, to speak of him as a thoroughly

cultivated gentleman. During the late
terrible epidemic, he serv ed as President
pro tenn, of the State Board of Health,
and how well and faithfully he performed
the duties of his Office under trying cir
cnmstances is known to none better than
those who were associated with him in
his labors. The people of Brandon have
lost good citizen. The people of Vicks
burg have gained a good one.
