The Price Paid for Fraudulent
President,

In the multitude of items that make
up the Deficiency bill, which passed the
House of Representative a few days
ago, is one "for contingent expenses
of the Executive office, including sta
tionery therefor, one thousand dollars, +"
for the current fiscal year. There is no
excuse for any deficiency in that office.
and this loose practice of voting away
the peoples money on false pretenses
deserves the severest reprobation.
Before General Grant became Presi-
dent, the sum voted for contingent ex-
penses was small, yet abundant for the
object. Until the last year of the civil
war, one thousand dollars per annum
was appropriated for Mr.. Lincoln. In
1864 the appropriation was raised to
two Thousand, on account of exception
al demands on the Executive office.
The Republicans in the Forty-second
Congress not only doubled Grants
salary, in violation OF the precedent
which had stood untouched from the
foundation of the Government, but
they increased the pay and emolumepts
of al his surroundings, and voted six
thousand dollars year for ;" contingent
expenses of the Executive office" or
three times as much as the highest sum
ever received b., MIR. Lincoln.
Last year Congress appropriated
"for contingent expenses of the Execu-
tive office, including stationery there.
for, six thousand dollars" And now,
before nine months have passed away,

Asked why they came to this country
he replied: "To better our condition,

Several intelligent young Irishmen,
of whom there were nearly 200 in the
Garden, when questioned concerning
the cause of emigration, said "that
they came to America because they
couldn't make a living any longer in the
ould dart" They report that scores of
small and many wellto-do farmers of
the County Down and other counties
farther in the interior have sold their
property, some at a sacrifice, and are
coming to this country. Its the
truth, said one, "when 1 say that 1 be-
lieve that 100. 600 Irishmen will come to
America within the next two years.
Everybody that can leave is doing so,
and them that can't, sure, they say
they'll come anyhow. The stories about
Ireland's poverty haven't been painted
too darby"

this money is all gone, and the fraudu-
lent President asks for a Thousand more.
We undertake to say, and all expert
ence justities the assertion, that six
thousand dollars year cannot be legit-
imately expended for proper contin-
gencies of the Executive office. because
the only expense to be incurred is for
ordinary stationery and postage stamps.
This money is practically an addition
to the salary of the Executive, and was
SO utilized, partially, by Grant. Hayes
has turned fully three-fOurths of it into
the fund for maintaining his personal
household, and in that way has saved
so much of his regular pay. No man
ever occupied the Executive Mansion
heretofore who made a business of con-
verting the office and its opportunities
to money boarding, as Hayes has done,
and that, too, by the meanest of con-
trivances. The cant about temperance
is mere dodge in the line of economy,
for it is notorious that the scruple dis
appears when the expense falls on some
body else.
The cost of keeping up the Executive
establishment has increased out of ali
proportion TO any necessity that exists
for the expenditure. 1t is not the dol
lars and cents alone that provoke criti-
cism upon this extravaganza, but the
far more serious consideration that it is
a departure from the simplicity of the
fathers. and is an attempt to initiate the
pomp and parade of monarchical gov
eminent.
