Where Reform is Needed.

The expenditures of the L. S. Government
are well calculated to fill with alarm all true
friends of reform, whether they belong to one
party or the other There has been bill
introduced into Congress by which the
President shall receive 100000 instead of
$4,000; members of the Cabinet, $1,000
each; Justices of the Supreme Court, 80 900
the Speaker of the House, $1,000, and mem.
bers of Congress, $4,000 The bill was re-
ierred to the select committee on reform, and
report was made upon it by Mr.. Hoar,
who thought that with the increasing needs
and necessities $4,000 was not more than
the Chief Magistrate ought to have. Now
$4,000 are voted to him for contingent ex-
penses, and almost everything connected
with the White House in the shape of sup
plies is furnished free. Besides this, the
messengers, ushers, steward, doorkeepers,
watchmen and tircmcn are each and every
one paid good salaries by the government
The White House is constantly rcfurnished
and repaired the appropriations amounting
in the last two years to $4,000 Besides all
this, the public receptions do not cost the
President anything; nor the warming, light.
ing and furnishing; all these expenditures
are met by appropriations. Rutherford b.
Hayes is supposed to have made money from
bis office as Chief Magistrate, and certainly
he was most economical, for the purpose of
saving all he could for himself Members of
Congress do not work more than six months
in the year, if that; so that they are paid at
the rate of 81 900 per month. They get s1e5
for the purpose of supplying themselves with
newspapers and stationery. They are even
shaved at the public expense and perfumcd
(as the New York San says, much to the
comfort Of their neighbors,} without nny
charge to them These things ought not so
to be. With all these things free no wonder
is it that Congressman grow rich. John
Sherman is but one ont of many who have
Gmassed fortunes in the business of politics
yet when he entered public life he was
poor man.

Friday Morning, 49,. July %, 1882.
The Hartford National Bank of Bel Air.

A meeting of subscribers to the capital
stock and those who wish 10 subscribe or feel
interested in the establishment of national
bank in Hartford county will be held at the
Court House, on Monday next, July 31st, at
12 o'clock, NJ. At that time or nine more
taken to organize the institution.
1t appears to be the settled conviction OF
nearly every business man in the county
that a bank is needed here and that one pro-
perly differed and conducted would at once
enter upon useful and profitable business
career. 1t is also taken for granted that
there is idle capital enough in the county to
establish bank upon solid basis
The ultimate success of the project will
depend greatly upon the character of the
meeting next Monday. If the facts arc as we
have stated them, the meeting will prove
them. If the farmers, Gamers and business
men of the county in general really want a
bank to facilitate the transaction Of business
they will attend this meeting and aid in
establishing the institution. If they do not
show sufficient interest," 1t may be taken
for granted that they either do not need q
bank or else have not sufficient confidence in
each other to unitein organizing one
In the election of directors, no considera.
tions except those of honesty, capability and
willingness TO attend to the duties required
should be allowed to influence the choice.
1t should not be necessary to urge the
people of Hartford to subscribe to the capita
stock of the proposed bank. They ought tc
do so voluntarily, and they can make theil
subscriptions not only with view of bene
fitting their county, but also with the expec
tation of realizing at least n fair per centagt
ofprotit from the investment.
1t is proposed to make the capital stock O.
the bank 100000, divided into shares o.
800 each, with the privilege of increasing
the capital to 100000 The directors who
may be chosen next Monday will serve unit
January next, when II new election will take
place. If the movement is successful tn,
bank will doubtless go into operation on OF
before the list of November next. The sub
scriptions will probably be made payable
one half before the LIST of November and tht
remainder in installmens after that time.
