His table, the wine in his cellar, his sta

at the public treasury. He smokes the
best segars in the world, which retail at
25ets per piece, and he stnokes all the
day long and at night, and the people
foot the bills. Thia item of segars alone,
smoked by him at public expense, runt
into large figures in -365 days. The
earlier Presidents at $25,000 salary, paid
-all their own bills for living, and never
dreamt that the people should pay for the
wines they drank, to tobacco they chaw
ed, and the segars they smoked. But
those good old days of honest presidents
passed ended when the government
passed out of democratic luinds in 1860.
LESS EXPF.SDITVHES
The democrats in Congres are doing
the people's work. They have resolved
to put the sharp knife upon government
expenditnresand trim down the extrava
gance which has wasted hundreds of
millions under Grant rule. That's what
the democrats promised they would do,
•and they are redeeming theirpromise. A
recent despatch from Washington says
a sub-committee, with Randall as Chair*
man, has been for ten days engaged in
pruning the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial Appropriation bill. There is not
only to be a large reduction in salaries,
but it is proposed to abolish a good many
offices. The President's salary is to be
cut down after the 4th of March, 1877.
Of course it cannot be reducedfduringtbe
term ofthe present incumbent. Mileage
now nmountingdo 1150,000, will be re
duced ; appropriations for Washington
are to be lowered ; expenses of collecting
the customs are to t be reduced every
where; and in the various bureaus of
War, Navy and Interior, the Poet-Office
and Treasury Departments, offices are to
be abolished, while the expenses of the
judicial system are to bo largely reduced.
This is the bill paying the salaries of all
officials except those who are abroad,
and the reductions from these items
promise to be important.
A FOOL IS THE ST. \TE SEX I 7"E
The fools are not all dead yet—there
is one in the state senate, and the fol
lowing is the caliber of his usefulness in
that body:
Mr. Wood offered the following reso
lution which was laid over for second
reading on Wednesday:
Whereas, The ground hog has been
making and superintending the weath
er ever since the discovery of America.
Whereas, There never was accorded
any appropriation of money for his ar
duous and responsible services, there
fore,
Kesolved, That the thanks ofthe Hen
ate be hereby tendered hiin that he be
requested to forecast the weather until
old probabilities can afford to dispense
with his services.
Resolved, That ground hog dtvte de
clared a legal holiday.
If the senate could be induced to lie
advised by the Reporter we would say
that it pass an amendment declaring
Wood to be the ground-hog, striking
out the affix.
ANOTHER STEAL.
In the state senate proceedings of 21
we see this.
"A joint resolution providing that
the Chief Clerks of the House
and Senate be directed to purchase a
copy of the general railroad laws for each
member of the Legislature, the cost not
to exceed three dollars and a half per
copy."
This is another steal to help some
one. Twenty five cents will pay for a
copy of the railroad laws in pamphlet
form and if this outrageous resolution
passes it will cost the tax payers of the j
state nearly one thousand dollars for
what can be found in Purdon which
every member already has at public ex
pense.

Levi Bee be, of Bear Mountain, Berk

His predictions for the last quarter ol
the old year have been closely verified.
This is what be announced for 1876: "The
tirst ten days of January will be warm
for the season. Wind light and variable
with some frost or snow. The remain
der of January will be colder. The cold
est weather of the season will be the last
of January and the first week in Februa
ry, with but few blustering days. The
storms will be light falls of frost, snow or
frozen fog. February, after the Bth, w ill
be warm, with varying winds, mostly
northwest and southwest, running most
of the time across each other. Till tht
10th of March the weather will keep
warm, with some rain. There will be
more clouds than storms through the

THE MIXES—A FIVE WEEKS' SI'S
FEXSIOX ORDEREIK
New York, January 20.—At a meeting
ofthe several anthracite coal-carrying
and producing interests, held at the office
| of the Delaware ami Hudson Canal Com
pany in this city to-day, it was resolved
that, in consequence ofthe over-produc
tion and accumulation of unsold coal, an
entire suspension of mining of anthracite
coal take place for five weeks, from Feb
ruary 7to March 11, inclusive. All in
terests were represented, and the action
taken was unanimous.
The Herald correspondent at St. Louis
telegraphs under date of Jan. IS, that,
"It is more than probable that the gov*
eminent has at last succeeded in secur
ing several long coveted letters which it
was known had passed from P.abcock to
Joyce, and w bieh were deemed sufficient
ly strong to convict Babcock. It is be
lieved that Joyce has become exaspera
ted at the severity with which he has
been treated by his old confreres at
Washington, and is now willing to furn
ish testimony against Babcock. It is in
fact asserted that he will surrender cer
tain letters from Babcock to him into
the hands of the district attorney to be
used on the trial against the President's
private secretary."
Gov. Hartranfi pardoned ninety crimi
nals during the year 1870. To convict
these it cost the people many thousand
dollars, and then the Governor let them
run free to do the same crimes over
again.
The sjecial committee of the house on
the Texas frontier troubles has decided
to call for all the olHeial reports concern
ing the Mexican depredations. They also
determined to cull on the secretary of
war and ask him whether he could dis
pose of a sufficient force to protect the
border. The committee believe that two
regiments of cavalry and a force of in
fantry would be required for this pur
pose.
The Montgomery (Ga,) Mail has no

VAA'c.t.vr// /• I Tit i /:/ - />!/,■ l-
lHin A Co., of the mercantile agency,
have issued their annual report of mer
cantilciuisfort lines, from * hit hwe learn
lliut the uumlx r of failures in all the
United States show a large increase as
compared with those of previous years,
a hile the proportionate liability is some
what less than the average. The titun
ber in 1875 was 7,7-10, against 5,830 in
1874, and tle gross liability $501,060,353,
against $ 155,230,000. The average lia
bility is s2s,ttiO, against $26,020. Au
increase of fifty percent, in the mnnber
of failures within the last year would at
first glance ap|>ear very startling, and as
indicative of the condition of trade is a
most important revelation. But the < ir
cular urges some suggestions on this point
that should not bo lost sight of. It says,
as compared with the number of |>arties
tn business, the projairtiou of failures is
not excessive. The utuubernow report
ed in business in the United States on
the books of the agency is 630.000. **f
this number 7,740 have failed during the
year, indicating a proportion of one in
every eighty-two. A review ofthe gen
eral condition and outlook for the trade
is sketched by the circular, and contains
-ouic important facts and practical sug
gestions. It is stated as a fact that the
failures in New Kngland in 1875 number
1,7135 and cover au amount of $40,015,164,
against 790 in number and $10,M5,000 in
1874. The western states show nearly* a
corresponding increase in both number
and amount, while in the middle and
-outhcrn states the increase is much less,
a result that may be accounted fur in the
fact that the middle states have been
tnore circumspect, taught so bv heavy pre
vious losses, and at the south by the fact
that it has had little credit to fall u|k>.
As to the outlook for the current yeartho
circular is not at allcouleur de rose. It
-ay- while there have been large crops,
much which is to be realized the gen
eral result of the year lias not been
satisfactory. The number of tin -e ac
tively engaged in trade w ho have added
to their surplus are exceedingly few
those who have held their ow 11 are not
numerous, while a larger number than
both of these combined would have to
admit a shrinkage, if their assets wore
valued at realization figures. It adds
that "there ,-eems no nearer approach to
.isolution ofthe difficulties tinder which
trade is sufit-ring than at this time last
year. The pressure of the j>eriod, in
stead of Wing relieved, apj>ears to be
augmented. The inspiriting national
event ofthe centennial vear will, it is
believed, for a time infuse considerable
activity in some localities A great in
tlux of visitors from abroad, and the ne
cessary circulation of money which is
implied in the movement of large num
bers of our own population, can hardly
fail to vitalize some drooping interests."
But the most essential |>oints to recover
are prudence in extent of trade, rcduc.
tion of living and business expenses,
lessening indcLtncss, and close scrutiny
•f credits. These are the elements that
will most help to restore confidence and
beget a return to a condition of business
in which money can be made, the re
sources of the country developed and
success achieved.
Why don't the Republicans remon
strate with President Grant f<>r placing
the ex-Confederate leaders, Lungstrect,
Akerman and Moaby, in fat positions and
demand that he shall bestow his fevers
upon "Union soldiers?" The truth is,
General Grant is the last man to reward
"Union soldiers" with gifts. He select*
the most degraded and rotten political
hacks of his party, who were never in
the field of battle, and turns them gent
ly into the clover.— Cmtrier Jmmtnl.
THE -TURKS BADI.Y BEATEN AT
TRKBIGN E
London, January 22.—The Times'cor
respondent at Ragurna telegraphs under
date of Friday, 21st, as follows: "I have
just returned here after witnessing the
attack by the insurgents on the Turkish
intrenched position on the hill between
itagn.-a and Trebigne, whether the Turks
had fled after the action of the 18th. One
of the breast-works was captured. An
inner breast-work was gallantly defend
ed, and was evacuated by fifty Turkish
survivors during the night of Thursday,
and a number of these were killed dur
ing the succeeding fight. Trebigne is
completely demoralised. No troops are
moving to relieve the beleaguered de
tachment, ami the insurgents hold the
road uncontested. Trebigne is threaten
ed with famine aud the population is
mutinous. The total number of Turks
killed during the two days' fighting is
380, while the insurgents had UK) killed
and wounded."
The Daily News'special Paris telegram
says it is reported that Turkey is pre
paring to concentrate a large army in
Bulgaria next month.
Ragusa, Jan. 22.—1n consequence of
the Turkish defeat it is now reported
that Trebigne is in the hands of the in
surgents.
A reduction of 800,000 dollars in the
pay-roll of the War Department will be

Mr. Itai ard favored the appointment of

Mr. THUKMAN qu. led at length from
the speech of Houlwell on Thursday la>t
and said the main question now before (tie
Senate was as to the trutb ut the finance
reports upon winch the people of theroun
try bad relied. The .Senator from Massa
chusetts had distinctly said that accounts
of the Register of the Treasury did not
state the exact truth in regard to the pub
lic debt for ilia long period of eight years
when the Government was seeking a loan
from the people ol Ohio, and raid our pub
ic debt is • o much, that the people reiied
ujion that statement. Npw, the Senator
fr-un Massachusetts (B- utwell), said to
these people they were very simple to re
|!y upon those reports, for truth. If they
I were good uco.iUant- and went to the
(Treasury they could ascertain there
whether official reports ut the Treasury
were correct or not. It was high time
this inquiry should ba made. The thanks
of the .Senate and of the Country were due,
:-> the >enator from West Virginia I r
calling attention to this subject. The in
vestigation should be ru.ida not in a party
s< nr, but on Lusinro principles, to s<-e if
the aci > unt of this Government could nut
, be kept tho a.nne as accounts of a great
- railr>-ad or a mercantile establishment
lie favored the appointment of a select
, committee to make the inquiry.
Mr. MORTON said he was in favor of
I haling an investigation but it should b
made by the Finance Committee and not
. by a Select Committee would be more en
rgetic or determined than the Committee 1
! on Finance.
Pending discussion, at t. ii the Senate
went into executive session and soon after
I adjourned.

j Tho house then at l'. K fO went into com
mittee of the w liole on the rtale of the Un
i--n, Mr \t ■ I,of New York, In the chair,
on the centennial bill and was addressed
by Mr. Philips of Kansas, in advocacy ©f !
the bill.
Mr. DebolltMo ), referring to the fact
that this bill, like former ones un the same
subject, provided that the government'
should not be responsible for any debts!
c- ntraded by the centennial commission,
asked Mr Philips what assurance he had
that tho next cui.gre. would not be called
upon for another appropriation.
Mr. Philips replied that it would be
competent f -r the next congress to do:
what it was competent for this con great to
do.
Mr. Harrison (111.> next addressed the
committee oa satue side of the question.
Ailoding t> the suggestion that the house
by its vote on Mr Holman'a resolution on
the 14th of December, had committed it
self against all subsides, he recalled the
fact that whea that resolution was offered,
Mr. Hoar had asked whether it was notj
cut off the c-ntennial appropriation, and
that Mr. Holman stated that he did not
Consider tho word "subsiJy" in that reso 1
lut loss as covering tho centennial appro '
prialion.
, The house, therefore, had voted for that
resolution with n reservation in fnvor of
the centennial; not amor tal reservation,
but an outspoken reservation. Pa-sing on
to the importance of giving a national;
character to the celebration, he said that
having traveled considerably in Germany
in 1b74, some hundred persons with whom
he had conversed, had told hiui that the) j
wer/coming to the exposition, but that
last yt ar, having been traveling agum in
Denmark, Sweden and parts ot German \ a
he found that person* who had intended
to cuinn had < hai g< d their mind, saying
that tlio American people were too mean
about it, and that the celebration was to be
purely local ; but, fiiid he, let thin appro*
priation pass to-day, the news will reach
Kuropc to morrow morning, and new im
petus will bo given to the ccsire of for
eigners to visit the country, itnd the tide
will be limited only by accommodation*.
Commenting on Mr. Wi lis' statement
yesterday that the rich men of Philade!
phia ought to advnnce the money, he sug
gested that the still richer men of New
York, the rich men of Mr. Willis' own
district ought rather to do it.
Mr. Willis replied that the city of New
ork had subscribed $240,000, whirli was
much mere than had been subscribed by
all the rest of the country.
Mr. Henderson—Then they should have
subscribed all that was wanted rather than
let the celebration fail.
If the people are not patriotic enough to
subscribe voluntary for the purposes then
it is time to do something to rouse again
tho spirit of patriotism which unco burned
brightly, but which lias been now deaden*
