The extreme rapidity with which the expenses of the state government have grown under republican administrations is shown bv the following figures drawn from official sources. In three years of Gov. Packer's administration the total expenditures of the state government were $1,209,840.17. in the last term of Gov. Cnrtin's administration, including the years 1364, 1365 and 1366, these ex penditures were $1,385,157.83, including some extraordinary expenses of the war. Iu the last three years of Gov. Geary 's administration the expenditures of gov ernment leaped op to $2,806,305.07. Gov. Hartranft's first term cost $3,279,315.28. In Gov. HartranfVs last term these ex penditures have swollen to the enor mous sum of $3,816,316.7 ft. Unless this extravagance is arrested by the over throw of the ring in control of the state government where will it end? The democratic party has ever been the party of economy. The record will always show this. Expenditures have been ran up by the republican party, and what reduction has been accom plished is the work of the democracy. Appropriations made by three yesrs of democratic as compared with the pre ceding three years of republican ascend ancy in congress, via.: Estimates J 176.226,348. At Pasted M0u5e ...... 147,687,739. At Patted Senate 161,862;268. Uws 167,200,633. $6,000,000 additional estimates were sent in not included in the regular book from the treasury. It appears by these figure* thalthe dem ooratic house appropriated twenty-eight and a half milliens less than the estimates; thst the republican senate raised the bills of the house more than fourteen millions, and that the law* as passed exceeded the house grants by nearly ten millions. In the last congress, when the house com menced the work of reducing the public expenditures, the senate struck off ten millions from the budget of economy, and new they have repeated the act ef hostili ty to the same extent. These are the nak ed facts. "Elect a Democratic Congress and you shoulder a debt of ftiuO,ooo,oo0 —for pro property taken from the rebels during the war —on the people. Elect a publican Congress and vou will tide over the threatened danger.' We find tbe foregoing stuffin nearly all our Radical exchangee. The editors in question are either very ignorant, or dishonest, and assume that their read ers are just as stupid as they are, which is not very complimentary to either par ty. Besides.-Tbe allegation is a naked lie, and if any one was foolish enough to attempt a thing of the kind, the Con stitution would interpose and defeat the measure. The XlXth Amendment to that instrument reads as follows: Sec. IV. The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for service in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned, but neither tne United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obliga tion incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against tbe United States, or claim for the loss or emancipation of eoy slave, but all such debts, obligations and claimß shall be held illegal and void. Sec. V. The Congress shall have Ciwer to enforce, by appropriate Legis tion, the provisions of this article. It looks as though "the rebel debt," and a few bloody shirts, was all the stock that the Radicals have invested in this campaign. This is a mighty cheap platform for a high toned moral idea party to stand upon. Dill and Curtin at Millbeim, Friday night. Turn out taxpayers and bear the er-governor and next governor.

Under this Vend the Philadelphia Times lias an article which expresses our sentiment* and which will do for Centre county democrats to read. The practice of letting candidates select their own conferees, is one that leads to abuses, in nine cases out of ten the can didate vfants to select his conferees so ho can control them for corrupt purpos es, sell them out to the highest bidder. The proper way—and the duty of the Co. Convention —is toclect the eon forces and leave it to their discretion ss to who should be nominated for congress or senator, after following their instruc tion* to the line where instructions should he no longer binding and a nom ination made for the beat interests of the party instead of balloting for weeks in the Interests of an individual. The Time* Mrs: t >ne of tho | roll tic evil* of our prwrnt primary political system in all parties, is the now com mon custom of naming a candidate for a reaponsible district office,ami allots nig him to select his own conferee*. In 'hs many struggles for the important posi tions of Congvsssmcn and Senator in districts embracing two or more coun ties, the rule is for every county to otlcr a candidate, who selects his conferee* from the circle of his personal followers and then goes into the political market to get the best possible price for his men. We hare known unimportant men in unimportant A>untie* to crowd themselves forward as candidate* for Congress at every Congressional H tion for rears, get possession of the con ferees and regularly trade them ort for post offices, revenue offices or places for themselves in the document room at thecapitol. So common ha* this cus tom become that it has demoralised both parties fearfully in many sections of the State. It ha* often effected by potty, shamefhl barter, making the very worst or the least desired nominations, and many local defeats of the majority part> have hoc?) the fruits of the disgraceful system. It denies to a political party all voice iu the selection of it* candidate*, and invite* hummer* to enter contests when good men do not offer and when counties have no jnst claims, merely to trade themselves into a little prominence or wl! out their power for so much cash. At a recent Democratic conference in the Westmoreland district, ;o adjourn ment was asked for and enforced be muse Mr. Wise, one of the candidates, msisted t,iat ccmU not attend, and since then Wis*, of Greend, Doyle, of Fayette, and Lomiaoo, wf Westmorelal!' the rival candidates, are aco#pm-i fis the managers the confused conference that has been meeting and adjourning for a month just. Instead of the party selecting comjctent and faithful rej>re sentative men to vote for the choice of their county and then exercise a sound discretion when their choice falls, it is I understood in these later days that .only j the candidate is the party to ho consult ! t-d. while his conferees must subordi j nate themselves to his whims or cuj>idi : ty. It is high time that all parties took a manly stand to arrest the growing evil. It would Tastly impair the power of adventurers in politics, and majority I parties would save themselves from [ many just defeats thereby. CURTIS FOR COS'GRESS There seems to be an unusually strong desire on the part of leading democrats —we may say of all the leading demo crats—in and outside this congressional district, to have Gov. Curtin receive the democratic nomination for congress, and his friends in this district, and especially in this county, in response to that de sire, arc now urging the governor's nom ination and it seems to meet with a hearty endorsement from the rank and file of the democracy everywhere; as it would in all probability bring to the support of the democratic ticket the liberal republican vote. Gov. Cnrtin has been acting with the democratic party for six years already— since his return from Russia. He re signed one of the highest and most honorable positions in the gift of Presi dent Grant —minister to Russia, a first class mission. The republican party was in full possession of the government when Gov.Curtin resigned and he came home to take the Wtutnp for Bnckalew and thesnccess of the democratic party, which was then in a minority. This course of Gov. Curtin can be taken as the best evidence of his sincerity—leav ing a party in power because of its corruption, and which lent him a high position, and resigning his place in order that he might do battle in the democratic party against the corruptions of the Grant administration and of the Cameron ring which was disgracing and plundering our state. Where is there another man, in the history of parties in this country, who has made such a sacrifice of high position and party for such reasons as actuated Gov. Curtin in the step he took ? There is none on re cord. Gov. Curtin is an acquisition to the democratic ranks worth having and deeply regretted by the repnblicans who would gladly have retained him in one of the chief places in order to keep him. But there was a higher duty, and he followed the dictates of it. A thrill of joy went through every democrat in the county when it was announced that the great war governor, Andrew G. Cur tin, had turned upon the corruptions of his party and found that to purify the government he would have to take his stand in the democratic ranks. Every democrat bid him welcome then. He has been with us since, voting our ticket all the time, and speaking for our cause and the cause of an oppressed and plun dered people. When such old and tried democrat* as Gov. Bigler, H. L. Dieffenbach, Chair man Hpeer, and many other democratic leaders of the state, advise the nomina tion ofGov. Curtin for congress, it is ad vice that deserves respectful attention, and we may add, safe to follow. These men seek only the success of the party and the good of the country— and we know that many of them regard the nominatien ofGov. Curtin as one of the potent agencies to be used in securing the success of the state ticket. No good democrat will question their motives. We know also that the candidates on Iho democratic state ticket, have exprcused their opinion and wish for Ourtin's nomi nation. We do not deem it necessary to offer any advice here, and give the above that democrats may fairly understand the movement in favor of Gov. Curtin and why it meets with so much favor.

Fourtli ! !y: ilis nomination would reflect boner und credit upon tho district. IV# l'enn -ylvanians have a mistaken i4.i that ey ery official position must be uonceJeJ to 1 the men who run with the machine, who make thom-clves the party workers, and that no one is entitled to any consideration until this clas is provided for. Not so in New England or the South. The ftirincr i* represented in our national council by her Blames, and KJmunds, ksr Dawes, lloars, Butlers, and Eaton*, and lha iauar by her Lamars, Stephens, Gordons and Hills,—names familiar as hou*ehold words throughout the entire land. Both lections send their ablest and best men to repre sent tiicm, and keep them there during good behavior. The result is that they ex ext an influence upon and shape the legis 'ation of the nation. Now are we willing to abandon our mistaken idea and to fol low their example? If so, wo have the opportunity. Gov. Ci'RTis's nomination will be applauded everywhere. If elected ho will at once become a leader in Con gress, he will command respect and exert nn influence for his constituents such ns no other man can. tVo will confer littla or no honor upon him thai he does not al ready possess, but he will honor us. Such are a few of tho consideration* which should govern us in our action on this subject on Saturday next. True, it will be urged CURTIS has not always been a Democrat, I care not for that. He is a good, sound Democrat to-day, as good as any of us. 110 is in favor of the honest and economical administration of affairs, outspoken in his condemnation of the late electoral fraud, opposed to rings, lobbyists and jobbers of every ilk, anxious to bury all animosity existing between tho North and South and has done more toward this end than possibly any other man in our Commonwealth, and is an inveterate foe of tho Cameron dynasty—this is Democra cy enough lor me, and for you fellow vo ters, and for every one except those who are continually asking, importuning and domanding offices, and who, like the camp sutlers, appear to follow the Democratic party more for the sako of the spoils to bo gathered than from any patriotic motives. Besides there are thousands in our ranks to-day, battling manfully for the over throw of corruption and peculation, who aro no better Democrats than Gov. Curtin, and thousands more ready to come if we only give them some such ovidence as his nomination that they will be wolcomo, and that we are sincere in our declarations. With CURTIS as our nominee for Congress and DILL for Governor, victory will be as sured in tho State. Democrats, of Centro the responsibility icsls upon you I See tbatyou discharge it manfully, and in such away ns will redound to tho best interest* of the /nirfy atui nation, regardless of tho claims or fate of individuals. • DKMOCRAT.

The Sue* canal ia subject to a peculiar aeries of currents, which change with the seasons of the year. M. latnaiiton, the company's engineer, has been tak ing observations at Port Said, Sue* andj ail the other stations on the canal, aincv ls7l. The result of tbase observations shows that, notwithstanding 1-ako Tim-; sah and the Bitter Lakes, which form* two great regulators, the north and south bunches of thp canal are not un-: affected by each other. From May to October the winds cause a riso of le.iel at Port Said, at the northern entrance to the canal, and a fall at Suer, the southern end. This difference of level,; which reaches nearly forty centimetres or about sixteen inches, leaJs to a cur rem thp Mediterranean to the Red Sea—a current which, though interrupt-i ed by the tides, drives a considerable volume of water frem north to south, in winter, on the contrary, the high winds give the Bed Sea a level higher, by 3U contjmetroa, or about twelve incite* than tho Mediterranean, causing a cur rent from south to north. About 4fio,- 000,000 cubic yards of water vearly pass; from oue wa to the other. This, coup led with the tides, tends to neutralise' the effects of evaporation from the sur face of the lakes and to dissolve the ba sis of salt in the Bitter That ba sis was four inches in thicknoas, but is gradually devolving, especially in the course of V£#e|#- thp velocity of these ! local currents varies belts eon fort figidj and Lake Timsah from 5.9 Inches to; 15.75 inches per second; while in the broader part, between Sue* and the Bit ter 1-aki-s, it is from '.'4.6 to 43.3 inches ;>r second. The pleasing picture of the lowa he roiup, yb.Q had two pickerel under har ness and was u.aV" by them up and! down a pond in a beautiful itllie boat, was the sweetest flsh story ever clipped ] with an exchange editor's sheara. But, who shall say that the ingenuity of the local chronicler has got to the end cf it* tether and devised the gWMtret possible fish story? Here is tho Whitehall Times, for instance, with a romance of tho quoon of the speckled beauties. A man has an artificial trout pond with at least 3,iWo fish, each weighing from half, a pound to two pound*, more or less. He also has a little girl, five years old,! who has succeeded the flah; so that she can go to the edge of the! pond and with a handful of crums feed them from her chubby hand. They have learned to jump out of the water and snatch worms from her fingcra.and they au extremely fond of their little mistress. One day ah# lojt her balance; and pitched headlong into thp water, where it was deep, She says that when 1 she went "way down" she called loatily[ for help. Her cries quickly attracted 1 her parents, and they were horrified at seeing the little girl floating upon the surface of the pond. The father rushed to the water's edyc end reached out for his pet, and as ho raised hv* from the water a perfect solid mass of trout w** found beneath her. These faithful sub jects of the little queen, as she fell quick ly gathered beneath her and thus show ed their love for their mistress by bear ing up her body until aid arrived, thus preventing her from meeting a watery grave, 'lisa beautiful tale, but the next file from the Far West may |j>r another still lovelier.
