A roong tho many vluuble nnd wako. ful WRtch-dogs who nit couched about tho TrcBsury ,nt Washington, growl ing perpetually and eager for a spring al loioniotia intruders who monaco the vaults of that edifice, there ia none so trusty aa the Senate Committee ou Retrenchment. This austere and eco nomical Committee lias, after year of exhuutiting tll'ort, sucQeedud in reduc ing tho annual expctinet of the Sennte (exclusivoftaliirie) to the ridiculuuly trifling sum of sovon hundred and eight thousand one hundred and eigti- ty eignt dollars ana ninety-three cents (1708,188.93) which was the "dem'd total" for 1870. Of course the grati tude of an overtaxed pooule is duo to this beneficent body for screwing and pinching with such itntnonno success tho disbursement of tho public money, and we hereby tender it our single and sepentto thanks, as one of the rust yeomanry of the land, for the great saving wrought thereby to our individual and usually vacunt pocket. he Bible for the iniunctipn "Thou It not muzzle tbO' ox that- trends out tho corn," and it would, thoreforo, bo not only cruel but unncripturul to deny to the grim and nlorl dogs ho guard tbe public money comiori- ablo kenneln, good provender, soft bedding and ornamental collars. Therefore, wo were not shocked, as some of our cotemporaries affected to be, when we read tor tho tirst tune tho cost of keeping tho room of tho Senate Comroittoo on Retrenchment. for 1870, but were gratifiod over the reflection that the honest fellows who aro saving our money for us are not enduring rugs and squalor for their country s sake, but aro, on the wholo, moderately comtorublo and even jolly niggards.

Easton Argus. a e, a i Bread upon the Waters. Nearly bulf a century aso. Ions before railroad, were invented, a stago coach used to run every day between Glasgow and Grucnock, in Scotland. One day a Isdy who was traveling in MttMtfTOiJ WViroraT struggled to got along. Sho asked tho coachman to take him up and give In in a seat, and sho would pay lor it. When they arrived at the inn ut Urccn- ock, which isaseuport town, she uskod the boy what ho had eomo there for. lie said be wished to be a sailor, and hoped some of the captain, would engage him. She gave him half n crown, wished him success, and told him to bo a good boy, and try to love and servo God. , After this twenty years passod away. One afternoon tho coach was going along that same road, reluming to Glasgow. Among the passengors wss sea captain. W hen they reached about the same spot just above refer red to, the captain obsorvou an old lady on tbe road, walking very slowly, and looking very tirea and weary. He asked the driver to put lior In the coach, as there was an empty scat, snd Jio would pay for her. Shortly aflor, as they were changing horses, all the passengers got out except the captain and the old lady, As they were alone, the lady thanked the cap tain for his kindness In giving her a seat, as sho was unablo to pay for one. He wild he had always telt a pity lor poor tired foot-travelers, for, twonly years ago, when ho was a poor boy traveling on loot noar this place, some kind hearted lady ordered tho coach man to take him up, and paid for his soat. "I remember that very well, said sho, "fur 1 a" that lady j but my condition is very much changed. Then 1 was vory well off, but now I am reduced to poverty by the bad con duct of a prodigal son." ' ' A hen trio captain shook hands wllb her, and said how glad he was to see her. "I have been vory successful," suid be, "and am now going home to live on my lot-tune l and now, my good friend, I will selllo twenty five pounds (l ., a hundrod dollars; upon you evory year, as lone; as you live.

The dome of the Capitol at Washington is the most , ambitious structure in American. It is 108 feet higher thsn tho Washington Mnnumont at Balti more, 08 lout higher than that of Hunker Hill, at Boston, and 28 feet higher than tho Trinity Church tower at Now York. It Is tuo only conside rable dome of iron in the world, ll is a vitst hollow sphere of iron, weigh ing 8,000,000 pounds. How much is that f Moro than 4,000 tons or about tho weight of 70,000 Mill grown poo ple, or about equal to 2,000 laden coal cars, which, holding four Ions aploce, wouia reach two miles and a hall. . Directly over your head is a flgnre in bronze, "America." woiirliinix 14.- 082 pounds. Tho pressure of the iron dome upon Its piers and pillars Is 13, 477 pounds to tho square fool, , St. Poter presses nearly 20,000 pounds more to the oqnaro foot, and Ft. Gene vieve, at Pans, Cti,000 pounds more. It would requiro, to crush the sup ports of our qome, a pressure of T.r5, 200 pounds to the squats foot.. The cost wssabont 11,100,000.

THE PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNISM. ..Less than four months aeo there arose to the surface of affairs in the city of Pans, tbe most dangerous and devilish political element that has over been known in the history of viviiiica government, it is an ele ment which cannot ba limned fit mil. etly set aside and perhaps cannot even be crushed, and yet it must be met in baltlo, and conquered in some way, unless indeed the whole social and political fabric la to be permitted to l invwrivvuuio ruin. , I We by no moans assort that Com msnisnt had its birth and orlirin In She recent couvulsions at Pariav-Lut.it 1. nevertnoioss certain that through tuuoo wuiivuisioni me craen hna no. turned a shspe and consistency whioh it never bad before, and what ia much more significant and otarllintr. an in. tensity of belief, a strength of purpose no 14 a ooiunesa 01 avonai lor winch none but tho initiated wore at all nre pared. Tbecentrul ideaaround which the wholo of tho Communist thoory rovolves may bo traced directly back to the agerarianiBin which vexed an- ciont Romo and contributed more or less to tho downfull of that vast em pire. Lying dormant through tbe middle ages, though now and then giving manifestations of its presence in popular insurrections in Italy, Ger many and 'Holland, that idea was not lully recognized as a governing prin ciplo until the French revolution of 1789 wss fairly under way. And not ovon at the hoight of that tremendous outbreak did the ablest leaders daro indorse tho Commune with a tithe of the enthusiasm and audacity with which it is proclaimed to day. , ilarat, Couthon, Anacharsis, Cloolz, and other principal partisan loadors, it is trno, went very far in that direc tion, and bad they been left unrestrain ed, they would beyond doubt have reached tho logical conclusion of their fiery principles and sanguinary pro fessions, Neither Robespierre, .Dun ton, St. Just nor any of the prominent chiefs advanced these views in their public speochos, much less attempted to carry thotn into practice. For eighty years Communism stumbcrod; not the sleep of doath, but that repose which was ''.?ccsary to collect and organizo its force and prcpacr for a more vigorous and prolonged attack. In 1830 and in 1848, tho giant roused long enough to ovcrlurntho existing government, and thoo sunk out of sight again, apparently satisfied with theso displays ol lis power, and wil ling to wait. During the twenty four years of the imperial regime, there were hourso murmuring be- sriairs.'i.wwobufMVffpoSf Kileon himself thoroughly understood, ow much the policy of tho emperor was controlled by tho dread of that unseen monster whoso voice was ever sounding in his cars, 'we need not now inquire ; but the instant bis quick eye Aid Drm band were wiiuurawn, tho volcano burst lortn. . -ino exact filan or principle of the men who lato y ruled in Taris and ended their briof reign in a carnival of blood and flume, wo shall probably novcr know j but it is evident that the Parisian Communo, was something mora than a gigantic mob, bont only on outrage and de struction for mobs, when once trod den out by the heel of authority, dis solve into their original elements and pass, away bnding neither apologies nor dofondors for the wrongs com mitted. , , , ' It was a most terrible punishment inflicted upon them by , the Thiers government necessarily savage and brutal in many respeots, so much so that it almost aroused universal sym pathy for the victims; and yet it was a just punishment in tbe main ; and as sorero as it wits it did not erueh the Commune. , . . . 1 It ha. eeasod to hold sway at ths Hotel do Yillo, ceased to fight in the suburbs and . streets of the capital, ceased to lour down monuments, burn pslsces and murder priests j but it is still a living, sotive, pregnant reality, tho consequonces of which no human wisdom can predict. Tho vitality of the Commune is shown nnmislakably by the daily telegrams from Paris. There, whore the blood of their slain comrades is yot fresh upon the stones, whoro executions aro still going on, and relentloss vengeanco is being vis ited upon all concerned in the late re volt, we are told that "indications of a ronowal . of Insurrection multiply." that soldiers are openly insulted by ths workingmen, and "attempts at ashsssinalion and inoondiarism con tinue." - But the most important intolligonoe of all is tho announce ment that "the elections will result in the return of the International (Com mntiU) candidates."

Whatever jewel a man may think ho has found, tho connoisseur bachelor will hold thai he can find a flaw in it. Sometimes ho will do this cynically. Other men will do it just as often, though not cynically. The object of such criti cisms is vory often somo mere solf glorification. If ho the bachelor had murriod, no ore would have been able to criticise Caesar's wife. Uo would not hare misted fortune, as ono friend has done; or beauty, as a sec ond ; or family ss a third.

Grant snd less than nothing of the Sang of greedy speculators by whons e is surrounded. The SpringnelaV Hepublican says 1 . Mr. Baa Domingo Fallen., who baa beea try leg for some weeai paat to reiae money by fvltaU eubaortptloa to pay tbe eeeond year'a real due from tbe United Statea for tbe lease of the Saateae Bay, aud who railed of getllag aiaok In -Roetou, baa ueoeeded la railing the needful ia New I arlu lie doee tbii curt of buaiueeo, we luppoae, with Uia . auction of Preaideot Orant, who ia very unwilling to give up bia pet scheme of annexation, aad is aeralag il along ia Una undignified way till beeaa get it before Congreee again. Tbo President drew 1150,000 in coin out of the Treasury of the United Slatos to pay the first y oar's rant of Sanianu B:ty. This be did without any warrant of law, taking tbe money from the Secretary-Service Fund in tho Department of Stato. Grant expected that by tuking the money' thus surreptitiously from tbe Treas ury bo would be able to commit the country irretrievably to bia job and to coerce Congress into a ratifica tion of his illogul aot. Of the money thus drswn from the Treasury only ono-third was paid over to tho Doruiti- icun authorities, me ouiance being pockoted by Grant's partners in the) project, who proved to be doubly tbievea, robbing both the United Sidles and Sun Domingo. A consid erable portion of the money never left Wasliiiigivu Cli; The lonso of Samana Bay at $150.- 000 a year was an und.tciuus fraud, nice evory other part or the annexa tion project. As a coal-station the examination of tho Commissioners showed it to be useless, the water bt ing so .hallow as to render coaling there a very expensive, process. A. mora accessible and vastly bolter coal ing station i. now rented at Su Thom as by ihe Navy Department for loO.- 000 a year. Tbe luilure of the Sen Domingo treaty concluded tbo lease of Samana, and the 1100,000 which wore unlawfully taken from the Treas ury by Grant were irretrievably lost. Tho people would bave been satisfied to close out the job with a clean loas of that amount and lbs unestimated expense of sending out tho Commis sion, but Grant is not willing to aban don b I. pot projoot. He hascontinued to keep two ships ot-war on the coast of Sun Domingo for the ex pres. por poso of supporting the miserable des potism of Bacs at tbe expense of the tax payors of the United States. And, now his tools are "shinning il" round tho cilio. lo raise mooey enough to pay another year's rent, in order that the treaty with iScax may be kept alive and an opportunity be given to foros the job through somo lutnre Congress. Dors any one suppose a dollar could bo raised for such a pur pose unless it was understood thai the President was still bucking up the Sun Dumirgo Job? Men aro often rosdy to risk: their money in desperate enterprises, but they want some very promising assurance inui 11 win oe re paid to them with large intcrett. Urant has done all in d i power since Congress adjourned to s -oure an ondor.snent of h s Sun Domingo Job from ths R -publican party. In Ohio it was his well understood intention and desire to foroj the nomination of Bon Wudo and tho insertion of a San Domingo plank in tho platform. In Iowa he did actually secure the pas- - n- . ,wOiu,iuii, Al. bUV Pennsylvania Convention he was laud ed and renominated, with the assur ance that be could depond on both our Senator in any emergonoy, and upon tho Itu licui members in tho House. Thoso who auppoe that Grant has abandoned his Sun Domin vo Job, do not understand him. Ho is distin guished for pig headed obstinacy. He defies the will of the people snd expects the whole Republican party to bow their heads in the most abject submission to his dictates. Knowing nothing of vtatosmnnship, ho has ex hibited a complete want of honor and the most avaricious spirit in the ac ceptance of ovcry spocios ol presonts. He has voluntarily surrounded him self with a gang of the most unprin cipled and mercenary political adven turers. To them and to thoir chief the acquisition of San Domingo is a thing greatly to be desired. Its an nexation would fill many sn empty purse, and would add to tbe ill-gotten gains of tbe man who first made merchandise of the chief offlto in tbe gill of the American peoplo. Should Grant bo re elected no will devise somo mothod for forcing the San Do mingo job through. The monoy there is in it constitutes a temptation which bis sordid nature cannot bo expected to resist.
