Especial TO the Plain Dealer.1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-A publication
has just been made showing a scandalous
condition of affairs about the. White
House under Republican administration
Before the war or under Democratic ad
ministratiOn Congress usually appro
priated $4,000 every fourth wear for re-
furnishing the White House for the i'm,
coming President, and that was con.
sided enough for the purpose. Since
1870, however, and the accession Of
Grant the amounts thus appropriated
have swollen to scandalOus proportions
and it is difficult to make out where SC
much furniture could have been put, il
it ever was bought. In one year, 1870
there was $4,000 expended or alleged
to have been expended on White House
furniture, and every year thereafter$1O,
600 to $4,000 more up to 1877, when
Hayes came in. During the admins
tration of that fraudulent occupant the
following sums were appropriated for
| furnishing the executive mansion; 1877,
ST., 900; 1878, $4,000; 1879, S25, 600; 1880,
S20, 900, or altogether SS5,00O. 1t there
fore appears that Hayes not only drew
salary of S2O0,000, not one cent of
which was legally his, but used up in
some mysterious way SS5, 900 worth of
furniture during the time he dispensed
temperance dinners and sang psalms
with Carl SchurZ in the White House,
and this, too, when the White House
had received 81, 900 worth of furniture
in the four years Immediately preced-
ing. Altogether since the first day of
Grant down to the second year of Ar
thur, there has been used up in furnish
ing the executive mansion the sum of
S272, 900, an amount of money that
would build very commOdious man.
sion and furnish it new throughout.
The mystery is where all this furniture
was put if it was ever bought, as GER
tainly, if it ever was, the executive
mansion would resemble a furniture
wareroom more than anything else.
But the most curious point about it is
that after the alleged expenditure 1885,
600 for furniture during Hayes adminis-
tration, at the close of it and when Gar
field came, the mansion was found al
most bare of the commonest articles of
furniture. One of the first things Con-
gress was called upon to do after Gar
field came in was to appropriate $2O,-
900 for more furniture, and Arthur took
possession there was call for $50, 900
more and this has been followed up by
two more appropriations of 5000
each. So that, although Hayes was al
lowed $4,000 for new furniture, the
White Hourse was found so destitute
OF it when he went out that 100000 has
been expended since in putting in more
new furniture.
These figures are from official records
and open up a curious inquiry. If all
these sums of money have been ex-
pended for White House furniture
where is the furniture? And if not
spent for furniture where is the money?
The Republican party must go.

The three-cent coin appears to have
out-lived its usefulness; and there is a
demand for its withdrawal from circu-
lation. 1t originated with the three
cent postage, there being an impression
that people would find the three-cent
piece convenient in the purchase of
stamps. The coin, however, has always
been an annoyance, and has been out
of harmony with the general system of
coinage, and now that the three-cent
stamp is to be supplement by the two
cent letter postage, whatever reason has
existed for the coinage of the three-cent
piece is removed.
