Democratic Deceit Exposed.

Hon. ii. A. Taylor has done his
party and the state great
service in gathering the data re.
specting the expenditures by the
democratic state administration, and
giving il out in the admirable speech
which we lay before TRIBUNE read
ers this week as supplement.
From the figures here presented it
is shown that instead Of economical +,
Peck's administration has been
wickedly extravagant. But for the
fact that the receipts of the state
treasury have been unusually large,
the general fund would be bank.

excelled those under republican
administration by sum about equal
TO the amount Of interest money re-
covered from ex-treasurers. But,
without further comment, the speech
of Mr.. Taylor is presented. 1t will
richly repay careful reading by all
who care to know how false are the
democratic claims to economy in
the administration OF state affairs.

Why Pensions Were Cut Down.

The second committee of congress
in point of Importance is that on APP
preparations. 1t is outranked only
by the committee on ways and
means. The craftsmanship of it
was held in the last republican
congress by Mr.. Cannon, of this
state, but is now held by Mr.. Sayers,
Of Texas. He has been renominat.
ed for congress, and is now stump
ing the district in joint debate. A
correspondent writing from George
town, Texas, makes the following
quotations from Sayers' speech of
last week Tuesday, al Marble Falls:
We have taken $il, 900 100000 away from the
pensioners and, when congress meets in De-
cember next, we will take sl0,O0o,000 more off
those felloscs seAo came do,on here and MURDER
ED our people.
When some irresponsible private
citizen like Rev. Mr.. Cave, or some
cratic relic Of the war like the late
General Early, gives expression to
some extreme sentiment of vindic-
tlveness, showing that the fires Of
treason still burn in his breast, lit
tie significance attaches to it. 1t is
to be expected that the spirit Of jeff
Davis should linger on in some
southern hearts, but here is the
chairman of the committee on APP.
preparations, who in his official Ca
pacity is the fountain head of all
pension payments made under the
appropriations of this congress, us.
ing more outrageous language than
Cave, Davis, or even Early ever in
dulged in. The soldiers who pre-.
served the union are stigmatized by
him "those fellows who came down
here and murdered our people"
Ii is from this mans hands that
every pensloner must get the mea-
ger pittance which il his due. He
will be reelected, as matter Of
course, and as another matter of
course serve as chairman of the
committee on appropriation in the
tifty-fourth congress, provided the
democrats are in control of the
house. All will depend upon that.
1t is gross and Infamous insult to
every old soldier in the country to
have such a man at the head of the
committee on appropriations. As
our correspondent we'll says, "such
language, coming from the head of
the appropriations committee, must
be taken as an index of the position
of the democratic party on the sub
iect." Not that every democrat in.
dorses sentiment so atrocious, but
no such sentiment can be found out
side of the democratic party, and II
is set forth explicitly that the pen
sions were cut down because the
pensioners had murdered our peo-
ple." No one to whose attention
this atrocity is brought can vote foI

ten feet into the air. With a shout to the

monster had disappeared. At first the SER
pent appeared TO be one body, but when
the head sank out of sight about two
dozen seTpents, all over twenty feet long,

similar In shape to that of an ordinary
snake, with a large, fiat mouth, dark-red
tongue and a cluster of Shiny hair over
the whole head. The color was a dark
