Y ae Ar t —= RETRENCHMENT AND REFOoRM.— ‘Congress, during the preseat session, has made’ a noble recerd on retreachment and reform. The appropriations made show am enormous saving, aad the Revenue Laws have been ‘se amended that the Government cannot be defrauded without a series of frauds which are apt te he detected. Early ia the session the members commenced by restricting themselves to $125 per year for stationery and newspapers,and every one of them exceed this twice, but the rule was rigidly enforced.’ They examined every estimate of the Departments item by item. . They cut down expenses ofthe navy $17,000,000 and reduced every other Department. All the heads of Departments were warned not to exceed the appropriations,and it has forbidden any Department. to bind the Government for work done-when—no-* _@ppropriation exists. This cuts off the _ heads of those who were drawing-pay, . under appointments from Johnson in Washington, and working for Democracy in Pennsylvania and other States. The contracts fot stationery for the secretaries have ‘been restricted to one year, and. must be let on contract after notice, This latter tegulation stops a great deal Of stealing. ‘The surplus of the Patent Office, three hundred: thou‘gand dollars, has been transferred to the __-Tyéasury, and appropriations to that . purpope cut down to $250,000" per annum. Congress has compelled Sec_ retary McCullough, Johngon’s man. Friday, to ‘pay into the Treasury $25,000,000, resulting from sales of ‘abandoned property, wrongfully kept in his handsThey have shut off the payment of rebels for extra services and damages for destruction of property during the war. They have ordered the sale of iron-clads, no longer of use to us, shut off the Indian contracts, and given the business te @éneral Sherman, and ia every other way restricted expenditures, inaugurated reforms, and established laws which will ‘effect the saving of millions of money tothe Treasury. In addition to this, taxation has been areatly, reduced, and at every point ’ Johnson and his partizans have been s0:kemmed in that the corrupt practices of his administration will be stopped, No Democratic Congress can show such @ noble record as the Congress which is go bitterly denounced by the Seymour platform. FRANK BLATR was nominated by the soldiers. Of course he was. General Preston, of the rebel‘army, nominated him, Wade Hampton seconded the nomination, and General Forrest supported it. Thus set in motion, it carried the Convention by storm, and this class of soldiers are to support him. The “boys in blue” will leave the graybacks to perform that service. —__ i THERE will be'a sharp contest over the New York Legislature this year, as it elects a Senator, The Democrats now have a majority in the Assembly, and the Republicans a small one in the House. Ex-Senator Morgan is a candidate for the Republican’ nomination, Ex-GovVERNoR G, A. Miller, of Georgia, an origina) Union man, who, when the war broke out, Jeft His fine planta: tion id Georgia, went North} entéred thé ' army, and rose to the tank of Brigadier General before its close, has Sick the stump for Grant and Wiks. > j'then quotes from Commissionér Wells . to show that, not over fifty per cent. of . :sive frauds have been committed, and . Commissioner Rollins charges openly . that the visors revenue officer are quoting from Dibble’s speech, says :— “Not over fifty per cent, of the revenue taxes collected ever found its way into ‘tthe National Treasury,” That paper the assessed ‘thternal revenue tax reach‘ed the National Treasury. Now there is a vast difference between Mr. Dibble and Mr. Wells, even according t0,the National’s showing. Mr.° Dibble says fifty per cent. of the amount collected ; Wells says fifty per cent of the amount Tt is wellknown that extenJohnson, after their unlawful operations were made Known. Johnson is a. Democrat, claipied as such by all parties and endorsed by the National Democratic Convention. Under the most perfect system of revenue laws, it is impossible even in a single State to make the collections equal.to the assessed taxes. There must, therefore, in so great an extent of territory bea great discrepancy between. the amountof taxes assessed and the amount collected. But we are not compelled to rely upon such reasoning to show the falsity of Dibble’s statement. Wehave authority beyond question for the statement that the cost.of collection is far below thu smallest estimates made as to the expense. We call the attention of Mr. Dibble and the National to page 300 of the abridgement of Messages and Documents, issued for 1867-8, including the last report of. Commissioner. Rollins.— In speaking of the cost of collecting revenue, he says: “The expenses of collecting the internal revenue has always who have not at the time of payment -of taxes the present means of ascertaining the actual advantages to the government. From the great extent of territory, and the almost numberless objects of taxation, it was variously estimated during the pendency of the first internal revenue billin the ThirtySeventh ‘Congress that the charges ot collecting would be from'seven to twelve: per cent., and was freely argued that the excise could not reach the Treasury for less than: fifteen or twenty per cent. of its amount. satisfaction, therefore, that the accounts of the Department, as exhibited by the accounting officer of the Treasury, have shown the most moderate estimate to be largely in excess of the actual, ex-. penses.” Coinmissioner Rollins gives tables on page 302 of the same document, showing that the cost of making grors collections for that year was 2.90 per cent., and net collections 2.92 per cent. After giving tables showing tlre cost of collections in Great Britain, he says: “From the above it will be seen. that the ratio of costs to collections is very considerably less than in Great Britain. Any one who will take the trouble to refer to the documents will find this subject more fully discussed than our space will allow. It is conclysively proven that the facts are entirely misrepresented. by Democratic speakers, and that the cost of collecting, instead of being fifty per cent. is only two and ninety-two hundredths per cent, AN exchange says: Up town there livesa little boy and girl, brother-and sieter—the one two years old, the other a trifle over three. To each, on its last birthday, the father presented a ‘one hundred-dollar United States bond, the accumulation by interest to continue to be invested in other United States bonds, until each child shall attain to legal age, when each will come into full possession of its hundred dollars and the earnings thereof. In their cases ignorance is bliss. Neither of them can read. If they could, how bad they would feel at the hard names hurled ut them by certain sage editors and orators! ‘The poor little bloated bond-holders ! THe Fort Wayne, lid.

Up to that date parties inay be released from their debts under’ the law, whether they have assets or not, and without paying 50 per cent. or any other percentage of their debts. Let Taem GCome.—The Alta announces that Jno. B. Felton, Union candidate for elector, and W. 'T. Wallace, Democratic candidate for elector, will have a public discussion of the issues of the day in San Francisco in October. This statement the Examiner denies, and says that Mr. Wallace will be in Nevada October ist, where-he will meet Mr. Felton if the latter will agree. Come on, gentlemen, -we mountain people will give youa fair show; but ‘really, with Wallace in Nevada and Felton in San Francisco, we don’t see how they will speak from the same stand. County Court, Wednesday Sept. 2d. Wm. Berry, charged with assault with intent to commit murder was tried. W. Ww, Cross, District. Attorney conducted the prosecution and: J.C. Deuel the defence.

THe Union Fiac.—In a day or two ‘a thirty foot flag will be received for the Grant and Colfax Club; and it will be suspended under the banner, with -the names-of Grant and Colfax upen it, _— selaer, Jasper county, Indiana, that the Copperheads of that region are circulating a burlesque life of Grant, written in vulgar language, and illustrated with obscene pictures, The effeet-is to disgust all decent people of whatever party. The Grant: and Colfax Club is prospering nobly, and will accomplish a good work. His Puiace.—Humphrey Marshall, the fat rebel General, who never won 4 fight during the war,.in a speech. at with sorrow to the downfall of the glorious Confederacy, adding: “But here I am in the old Democratic party, and, with God’s help, may I never be anywheré else.” Good Lord, grant him thy aid. THE leaders of the Democratic party are doubtless honest in their belief that Seymour and Blair cannot fail to carry the next election. One Symmes thought a few years ago, that the earth revolved around a hole through which a nation might march from the North to the South pole, » Junius: says: “When once aman is determined to believe the very absurdity of thé doctrine confirms bim in his faith.” THE Oneida Dispatch has found out why Seymour is a statesman. Because he is a war man in time of peace, and a peace manin time of war. In peace he is invincible, in war he is invisible. He never had anything to do with.national affairs, except to oppose the draft and deneunce the Union soldiers as. “invaders” and “Lincoln's hirelings.” ~ —_ How.

They will net touch anything tinged with copper.” et oe ere BLAIR AND THE FEnNTANS.-—Frank Blair has written a letter to a returned Fenian General, in New York, promising the influence of Seymour and himself, if elected, to briag on a war with zation, will work for the election of the Democratic ticket! If this is. true, and itis vouched for by a responsible correspondent of the Zribune, we think the English born citizens of this. State, who votw the Democratic ticket, will be very apt to go for Grant and Colfax. THE Providence Journal, speaking of General Hancock’s defeat in ‘Tammany Hall, says: “Often as the gallant General has driven the rebels before him, he found them in too great force on that day. He swept thém away at Gettysburg, but they were altogethes too strongly intrenched at Tammany.” THE Philadelphia Post says: “All the Democratic papers are busy trying to prove that Horatio Seymour was. loyal during the rebellion. Nobody takes this trouble for Grant, because it is not necessary. “THE Richmond Examiner says that the white men of the Southern States “have seen the day when they. could use the bullet, and if God, in his anger, see it again.” OnE of Gen, Hancock’s principal staff officers, when asked, after the Democratic National Convention, how he liked the ticket, responded: “What uniform do you suppose I wear?” Do you think I have begun’ to wear gray ?” DRAMATIC REVIEW.—The Dramatic Chronicle comes to. us under the heading-of the. Review. The_paper isthe . same spicy, little devil, but changes its. natié to make way for the Morning Chronicle, which was issued on the 1st inst. “OUR soldiers. run well this year,” was the sneering remark made by Sey mour after a series of reverses in 1862, On which the Newburg Jowrnal comments: “They will ‘ran’ well this year, too, and already are ‘after’ his nimble Excellency ‘with a sharp stick.’ ” Stace RoBBERY.—Wells, Fargo & Co’s stage was stopped by four men and robbed of the treasure box, containing a large amount of money, near Laclede, 274 miles east of Salt Lake City on the 25th of August. They offer a reward of $10,000 for the contents.of the treasure box, and.in’ proportion for any part; and $5,000 for the arrest of the robbers, and in that proportion for any one of them, “dead or alive.”. THE Union of yesterday says: The insurrection provoked by a band of rebels near Little Rock, (Ark). has been put down by. Union men—1000f whom met and whipped 800 of the rebel mob. THE Louisville Democrat. regards Ohio “at least as secure for the Demotratic nominees as Pennsylvania.” ‘So do we, and Massachusetts is just as secure as Vermont. In Bath, Me., a call fora meeting to organizea Grant and Colfax Club was signed by 877 gentlemen, 'a number 177 larger than the whole Republican vote last Fall.
