The eX Confederates, with their North
ern allies, plume themselves upon their
great saving in the expenditures OF the
Government during the present fiscal year.
Mr.. Randall, the chairman of the Appro-
priation Committee, boasts that himself and
his brother Holman, by their sagacity, per-
tinacity and courage, saved $50, 900, 900.
Accurate figures make the diminution Of
like appropriations amount to S25, 600, OOO
1t is not material to our present purpose
what the sum may be. When viewed in
its proper light the people can have but
little interest in it. 1t does not lesson the
public burdens one iota; on the contrary, it
increases them. Had the Democracy by
its legislation reduced taxation the people
might thank them, and well afford to give
them q longer lease of life. They have
not lessened taxes a single mill. They
have covered into the Treasury $50, ,OOO, 900,
and taken this amount from circulation,
and to this extent their policy is contrac-
ton for time at least, for by and by the
Government will be SO far embarrassed in
lis operations that Congress will be obliged
to draw forth this sum, and even more by
deficiency bills, TO meet the pressing de
mauds upon the Government. Thus the
upsbot of all this Democratic saving will
be the crippling of the public business,
contraction of the circulation to the amount
covered into the Treasury, and heavy
depression of the general business of the
country. In two years time what will this
boasted economy amount to? We Shall
have accumulated in the Treasury for
limited period-but not cent to the peo-
ple-S30, OO0, 600, and this very saving for
only a short time will be found to have
paved the way for an expenditure of an ad-
ditional hundred millions or more, because
had fair amounts been appropriated for
cur navy yards and public buildings i'm
provements would have gone on while
labor and materials were cheap. When
this work must be done it will have to be
carried forward at largely increased cost.
Such is Democratic economy, but where is
the wisdom and craftsmanship of such
proceeding? Covering up money in the
Treasury affords no relief to burdened
people. Reduction of taxation is what the
people want. Did the ex-Confederate
House during the last session meet this de-
mandH 1t utterly failed. We are to have
contraction in the circulation to the amount
of $50, LOCO, 600, but taxes are the same.
Will the people be cheated by this sham
economy? We shall see.

necessary to convince any intelligent Re-
publican In Maine or elsewhere. The recent
acts of that House speak for themselves.


We ask our Republican friends in Maine to

preferred stock or new bonds of the new
company organized en- his plan. Now
$170, 600 gained in this manner is no peni-
tentiary offense, although by this machinery
and chicanery s170, 600 may be transferred
from the pockets of farmers who owned
stock in the old Terre Haute and Alton
railway, either by individual subscriptions
or town and county loans, to the pockets
of the Democratic candidate for the Presl-
dency. But this is quite digression.
Mcclellan says ''the welfare of the North
is inseparable from that of the South.
Perhaps it is. But it is put in way to ap-
pear that the South can get along very well
without the North, while the North can
not do at all without the South. Is this
the fact! Is the North indebted more to
the South for its prosperity than the South
to the NorthH Is cotton still king? or is
labor king? Let it be engaged in the pro-
duction of cotton, corn, iron, lead, gold or
silver, honest productive labor is and
always will be king in this country.


Gen. Mcclellan falls into the common
error of speaking of our Southern
brethren" as the white property owning
claseses. Does he mean to ignore the
laborer as a power and as a voter? 1t
would seem so from this:


"But have sufficient faith in the honor and
ability of our Southern brethren to believe that
when left to themselves they will well know
how TO enforce Just laws and secure the rights
of the humble st of their fellow-citizens."


The idea pervades this sentence that
whatever labor has awarded to it, especi-
ally the humble colored Southern laborer,
must be as douceur from capital. He has
faith in their "honor if left to themselves, 4"
has he, that they will do justice to and Sc
cure the rights of the humblest citizen?
We would suggest to the General that these
schumblest of her citizens" would much
prefer to be allowed the free exercise of the
ballot for their own protection to being lett
dependent on the "honor" of ex-rebels and
ex-masters who repudiate emancipation for
those rights.


1t is a qualification to be able to agree
with General Mcclellan on one point in his
letter, even though it be in the concluding
paragraph, which is as follows:


ssI believe that the issues now at stake are
similar to those for which We fought-the
honor and we'll being of the nation"


Our only regret is that the General
should have changed sides. Before he
fought the rebels; now he defends them.

The closing of the doors of two small


banks in this city, and the rather uncer-
tain prospect the depositors have of get


ting their money, strengthen the argu-


ments we have frequently made in re-
gard to the necessity of further protec-
ton of the public against this species of
financial disaster. While it must be
evident to every man of ordinary intel
ligence and experience that all banks
should be under a much more careful
and rigorous supervision than they now
have, yet there is an imperative and inn
mediate necessity for such supervision
of those smaller institutions in which
the working classes deposit their earn
ings. A merchant or capitalist has the
means and the opportunity for acquir-
information concerning the bank with
which he proposes to do business. He
knows, or may know, whether the pres
ident or cashier are honest and ccmpe-
tent; whether the directors are sensible
and discreet; what has been the pre-
vious history of the bank, and what is
its present standing. But what do the
day laborer, the mechanic, the sewing
girl, the servant and the widow know
about the establishment to which they
c0nfide their scanty fundsp What can
they know? Nothing, except that the
sign over the entrance glitters with
gold leaf, that the windows are of
French plate, the counters handsomely
carved and polished, and the door of
the safe elaborately adorned with gild-
ing and fantastic paint. The officers,
they hear, are clever fellows, and the


rate of interest seems satisfactory, and
so they place their cash where there is
not the shadow of absolute assurance
of its security. Stripped of all disguise
it is nothing but a huge confidence
game, in which all the advantages are
on the side of the persons who hold the
stakes. It may turn out well and it


may not, and that is all that can be said
about it. How often so-called s'savings
banks'' prove to be mere swindling
shops we need not say, nor is it neces-
sary to dwell upon the distress which
is the inevitable result of such cOllapses
as have been witnessed in St. Louis and
elsewhere during the past five years.


We are aware that it is exceedingly
difficult to inventa remedy for this evil,
yet a-remedy is not impossible, and the
sooner it is sought the sooner it will be


found. State Legislatures should take


hold of the matter at once and in earn
est, and see what can be done. Mean


while, if few defaulting bank officials


were sent to the penitentiary it would


have a very healthy effect. .-St. Louis

From the Congressional Record we
make the following tract from
the proceedings of the House,
which will be read with pleasure, by
all who are atalI interested in our Bar
and River improvements;


The Speaker also laid before the
House letter from the Secretary of war
recommending an appropriation for
.fhe prosecution of work at the mouth
of Cape Fear River, which was referr-
ed to the committe on commerce.. and
ordere d to be printed.


From this it will be seen that the
Secretary of War has been induced to
take the initiatory step towards addi-
tional appropriations by Congresses,
to this important work.


The Importance of this work seem
to be at length thoroughly understood
at Washington. and the action of those
who have been able 10 exert the iniu-
ence needed to bring about this under
standing, will no doubt be fully appre-
ciated by our people.


The growing commercial Importance
of Wilmington has attracted the atten-
tion of the great commercial centres
OF the World, and it is of prime i'm
portance that our harb0r should be
easily accessible to ships of deeper
draught aud greater tonnage. That
Wilmington has attracted this atten-
ton is evidenced by the fact that our
harbor is row studded with the masts
of vessels OF almost all Natioualit1es.
There are to day not less than forty
foreign ships in port that have come
tc take cargoes to foreign ports. Add
to these the fleet of American vessels
and steamships that are engaged in
the coasting trade, and it can be seen
at glance that Wilmington has

Grants punishment of Custer is rous-
ing public opinion in manner that
cannot fail permanently to injure the
President. 1t would seem that his
treatment OF the gallant Indian fighter
at the White House, should have salts
fled Grants private anger. Gen. Custer
did not seek to testify at Washington.
In his letter to Clymer he requested that
questions for him to answer should be
sent to him- by mail This request
being refused he was compelled to
obeya Congressional summons. The
Presidents friends have endeavored to
explain his action on the ground of mill
tary necessity: but his personal insult
to Gen. Custer shows that he was in a
mood to seek revenge. If it was the
duty of Gen. Custer to call upon the
President; and if he called, as he did,
merely as matter of military etiquette,
why could the President not receive him
accordingly? The President was angry,
and there is no excuse for him. Gen.
Ingalls, demonstrated with him for
treating Gen. Custer so rudely in the
White House, but he sullenly refused to
say word in reply The truth remains
that Gen. Grant is a personal enemy Of
Gen. Custer, that he privately insulted
him and that he publicly disgraced him.
