r Progress of Economy.
The news from Washiogton indicates
that the economising porcess is being appli
ed with inexorable fidelity in the Bevoral de
partment of the General Government. Ex
penses are being cut down to the lowest
notch as fast as they can be overhauled ; and
what ever appears to be unnecessary is re
moraele&sly cut off. Such is the rule. Of
course some things will be overlooked the
first time the ground is gone over ; but e
are assured the fixed inieatiou is that not a
dollar shall be paid out unnecessarily. The
fxpcn.v: attending the collection of the in
ternal revenue is being overhauled. Kach
officers expenses will be looked into,
with the view of loppiug off what can be
dispensed with. With a vast army of Rev
enue officers, scattered all over the country,
the aim in many instances being to pay off
personal and party favorites, it is easy to
nee that this must be a field inviting the
pruning hook and tbe sickle. While the
expenses are thus being cut down, increas
ed faithfulness in collecting the revenue is
telling on the receipts into the Treasury,
And it is here that we find the explanation
of the fact, that since the Grist adminis
tration came in the National Debt has been
reduced more than twenty millions of dol
lar. Still the wheels have scarcely begun
to revolve. Nevertheless the expenses of
the government have been brought down to
the rate of $125,000,000 per annum, and
this too. with the Indian question unsettled
and extraordinarily expensive, and the
South, by reason of its unsettled condition,
making largo drafts. Right here it will be
well to recall to mind the assertion which
the late Sir. Horatio Sevmour traveled
through the country to reiterate, that the
least wecould expect would be $."0),0)0,000
annually. We yet expect to see the differ
ence between the Seymour Romance and
the Grant Reality not less than two hun
dred millions of dollars. And all this
without any fuss or parade. What kind of
a President will Grant make? is thus being
answered; and to the entire satisfaction of
the people, too, we opine.
CowPouxoixa Fblo.vie-?. The return of
the stolen money ami securities, amounting
to one million dollars, to the Beneficial Sa
vings Fund of Philadelphia, ha suggested
that the matter was compromised by the
Jiiiiik officers, the detectives and the thieves.
The Philadelphia Jtullrtin calls upon the
Grand Jury, uow in session, to investigate
the matter, and while it does not assert that
any crime has been committed it says it does
not believe the thieves made restitution
without some inducement being held out to
them. If the case has been compromised
it holds that the ofnoers of the bank arc
guilty of two offences misusing the de
posits and compounding a felony; if the de
tectives assisted in affecting the compro
mise they, too, arc guilty of two crimes
perjury, in violating their oaths to perforin
their duty faithfully, and participating in
compounding a felony. It contends the
Grand Jury has the rower to investigate,
and says: "The subject may properly re
ceive its attention, for this supposed partner
ship between the detectives and the thieves
is working incalculable injury, by taking
away that fear of retribution which should
deter men from outlawry, and by placing a
premium on crime, so that a thief knows
that his i.nmunity will be greater in precise
proportion to the gigantic character of his
offense." This practice of compromising
great robberies is not con Que J to Philadel
phia. Governor Geary. We have full au
thority for Baying, remarks the laily Trie
graph, that there is not a particle of truth
in the recent dispatches from Washington
announcing the appointment of Gov. Geary
to the Secretaryship of the Navy; there
was not the slightest foundation for them,
beyond the mere rumor that Secretary Boric
contemplated tendering his resignation, and
the fact that Governor Geary, during a brief
isk to Washington, called upon President
Irant, between whom and himself there ex-l-:s
the mon friendly relations, political and
private. Gov. Geary ia not an applicant to
l La President car any position and never has
been. He is a candidate for rcnomination
for the Chief Magistracy of Pennsylvania
position which he has faithfully filled for
nearly three years past and which there is
so doaU.be will fill with equal ability and
Integrity for thrte years to come. At pres
-ent he has ne ambition Leyotid this and
his laudable desire to serve the State will no
doubt meet with a hearty response from the
Republican State Convention, in the first
rlace, and subsequently from the people of
the State at the polls iu October.

A Ff.ATf F.mxo Recognition. Gover
nor Curtin is the recipient of many flatter
ing attentions prior to his departure for Eu
rope. The citizens of Lock Haven, ReJle
fauto, and oiLer places formally paid their
.respects to LimMast week; but the Rccep
ion at Independence Hail, and the Banquet
::i the Academy cf Music, at the invitation
of the City Council. of , Philadelphia, on
Saturday a'tefuooa and evening, were proofs
oi affection whi.'h but few public men ever
receive from their fellow citizens. The
llunquet ia particular was a brilliant affair,
attended by many leading citixens of this
other :?wtes. The Governor's speech
ou tuj occai-jo, was a glowing tribute to our
and an appropriate farewell to his fcl
iow citizens.

If it be true, as stated in some quarters,
that Republican politicians incline to en
graft the Alabama questions among party
issues, they will reckon without their host
in counting upon the Republicans of Penn
sylvania. But we doubt the truth of the
I statement to which ne rcfr, says the Pitts
i burg Gazette. It bears the ear marks of an
j opposition scheme to embarrass the Repub
! licans of this Sate, in their advocacy of
other political issues. The story is indus
triously disseminated from Washington, for
the evident purpose of damaging a favorite
principle in this commonwealth that of
protection for American industry. For it is
at once followed up with the flagrantly erro
neous insinuation, in the New York Pout,
the leading free-trade organ of tin foreign
importers, that the scheme is wholly "a
protectionist plot" to secure popular major
ities by the help of a side-issue.
We have yet to see the first journal in
this State, among those which have been
ever known as consistent and sincere advo
cated of proiectiou, which gives a shadow
of countenance to the alleged movement for
Rcpublicauizicg the Alabama issue. On
the contrary, that proposition was denounc
ed in our own columns, upon the first tele
grapl ic intimation of it, and now, one after
another, the best journals of the State are
coming forward with the same expression of
disapprove!. For example, the Philadel
phia North A marietta, a newspaper which
was uevcr untrue to the interest of native
industry, remarks that the "leaders" who
could propose this new article in our polit
ical creed, must be few in number ''and
composed rather of those who would be,
hau of such as are leaders." Aud it adds,
upon the point of withdrawing the vuestiou
from diplomacy, that :
This will be the almost certain result if a
party is formed on the basis of demanding
ail of our claims from England without
qalificati m. We hnvc great hopes that jus-
lice win yet te tendered us by that country,
and an absolute certainty that wise delay
will win for us all we need to have without
war. Of war we have had enough to satisfy
the most belligerent and those who pay the
piper; so that, unless those who propose to
imorporate another "34 40 or fight" in the
political platforms are favored with a spe
cial providence, their scheme is likely to fall
through before it is matured. We want
peace and business, and the country will ac
cept another war only when its absolute ne
cessity is proved.
The Wheeling Intelligencer says :
A war of any magnitude with anybody,
in our "present financial condition, would lay
still heavier burdens on the uow heavily tax
ed business interests of the country and
could not fail to result in grave disasters.
If the administration and the party in rower
cannot maintain themselves without resort
to such an expedient, they are very certain
to go down! The people of the United
States are not readv to entrairo in anv such
folly. If leading Republicans cannot keep
themselves in office except bv such tricks as
this, it is better they should be out of office
e hope the administration does not coun
tenance any such mad scheme as an Knglish
war of such tricks as putting the Republi
can party on a war platform next fall.
Plainly, the allegation of the Pott is a
slander upon the protectionists of Pennsyl
vania, unless it be supported by the specific
proofs which we have the right to ask for.
Let the New York paper specify one repre
sentative man not Butler, nor Chandler,
but leaders whom Republicanism every
where regards whose adhesion to this new
idea justifies its allegation of a "protection
ist plot" Otherwise, the Post will be held
responsible for fabricating a story which has
just about as much real substance as free-
trade "arguments" and "facts" can gener
ally Imast of. In the meantime, let us say
that neither the N. Y. lTosl nor its "Re
publican leaders" can find ten intelligent
men in Western, Pennsylvania, who would
sustain the incorporation of that dodge into
our political creed. The free traders, and
their European friends, may keep it all to
the.D selves.
Reminiscence of a Mikderf.d Offi
cial. Hon. James L. Collins, United
States Designated Depository at Santa Fe,
N. M., was shot through the heart on the
uight of the 5th of June, aud the Deposito
ry robbed of $200,000. Hon. James L. Col
lins was a man of personal bravery, and
passed through the Mexican war and the
war of the rebellion with the commenda
tion of all who knew him. He was of
marked assistance to Col. Doniphan, who
reached General Taylor after the battle of
Buena Vista with the Missouri volunteers.
The frontier experiences of CoL Collins was
of great utility to the Indian service for
he was Superintendent of Indian Affairs
when that ofEcewas separated from the Ex
ecutive of the Territory of New Mexico iu
185fi. He was designated Depository, J une,
1800. Cincinnati Times.
Montgomery County A Question.
The Lehigh Register of J une 9th says : The
indictments against the election officers in
Montgomery for refusing the votes of those
offering Snowden papers, were settled by
entcriug a nolle prosequi on eaoh bill. The
question now arises who shall pay the costs
of the Commonwealth in subpoenaing wit
nesses, mileage fees, iic The defendants
are not liable, for they are acquitted. The
prosecutors decline the lionor,and the coun
ty commissioners positively refuse. To te;-t
the question of liability suit has been bro't
against the county by the officers serving
subpoenas. Heretofore - the practice has
been for the clerk to tax the bills and the
commissioners paid them. The question is
a curious one.
Aid for Ccba. One of the members of
the Cuba Ladies' Relief Association in New
York has received from Havana about $20,
000 worth of magnificent jewelry diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, Ac. the personal contri
butions of patriotic ladies in Havana to the
canse of Cuban .independence. Among
them were several tiny sets of jewelry worn
by children, which had been contributed in
aid of the patriots. These articles are to be
sold at a fair to be given by the ladles of the
Association, to be held in New York some
time next month.

An Important Discovert. The recent
discovery of a vein of pure anthracite coal
nine feet in thickness is causing considera
speculative excitement at Buffalo Gap, Ya.,
and along the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad. It has long been known
that inexhaustible deposits of iron ore ex
isted in this region; but they were only
worked very slightly before the war, on re
count of the scarcity of the proper fuel.
This discovery of anthracite within a half
mile of the great line of railway which will
soon connect the Ohio with the James by
the shortest route is a matter of the greatest
interest to Waahington.Richmond and Nor
folk, all of which citie3 are obliged to draw
upon Philadelphia for their supplies.
Reenforcements for Cuba. It is
highly probable that auother expedition
sailed from New York for Cuba, on Satur
day a-weck. At the headquarters of the
Junta they made no seoret of the fact that a
clipper ship left that harbor about daybreak
on Saturday morning with eight hundred
and fifty men on board, who professed to be
going on a fishing excursion, under coni
maudofCol. Vm. Ilendney, of Cincinnati.
The vessel cleared for San Francisco, and
received the men from schooners in waiting
near the light ship. Most of the troops are
said to be from the West, and to have seen
service under Sherman.
Last year the Democratic State govern
ment of tax-ridden Marvland expended over
six hundred thousand dollars for militia
purposes. The taxes of this State are al
ready about three times as groat as those of
Pennsylvania, and at this rate a farm across
the border will in a few years hardly be worth
taking as a present. Let our Pennsylvania
far-ners who through a Republican admin
istration hold their farms exempt and free
reflect on the meaning and consequences of
having a Democratic Governor and Legisla
ture next year.
Hon. Caleb Cushing, for many years a
Representative in Congress from Massachu
setts, and Attorney General under President
Pierce, and now regarded as one of the
most impartial thinkers in America, takes
strong ground in favor of Senator Sumner's
speech on the Alabama claims. Gen. Cush
ing has been one of the ablest leaders of the
eld Democracy. It is also stated that Hon.
R. J. Walker, another Democratic leader,
is preparing a powerful paper in support of
the same side.
Senator Spracce's panacea for all the
grievances under which the country labors,
is the invention or adoption of some Fystcm
or policy of government by which the people
can be supplied v-ith all the money they
want on easy terms; in refference to which
the Brooklyn Eagle says : "It can hardly
fail to be received with favor, and if it be
practical Sprague ought to secure his right
to it by letters patent and make an immense
fortune, as he surely would."
Couldn't Own It. A "Gentile" lately
bought a coal mine in Utah, near E ho city,
and was about to go to work, when six arm
ed men pulled down the timbers, caved in
the entrance to the mine, carried the tools
down to the Weber, and left beside the road,
saying that "No d -d Gentile could own or
work any coal mine there; that mine and
all that valley belonged to the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
The Cauadiau papers say our government
refuses to negotiation a reciprocity treaty
in the hope of making the people of the
maratime provinces favorable to annexation
to the United States, as the only way of se
curing a market for their products. Whatev

indicates a growing desire for annexation in
thai province.

DR. CLARK,
PROFESSOR OP
Anatomical Pathalo;v,
ami Physician for the exclusive treat
ment of Chronic Diseases.
All Coiuultaliau aul EraminnlioH of Pulirutt

T)r Clart exam-ins and explain your tii;ea
without ?iut any question If hevnder$tands

compete, t to treat your case. 1 mm is thetnterton
to go by aud patients should not be satisfied with
any other. This is the only direct and positive
evidence of my ability as a Scientific Physirian,
and by this standard I am trilling to be judged.
Dr. Clark treats no ease unless conscientiously
of the opinion that itean be cured or permanent
ly benefitted.
Dr. Clark treats no ease unless he can describe
the disease and its symptoms without interroga
ting his patient.
Dr. Clark will treat no Chronic Disease nnless
he can explain its character to the complete and
perfect satisfaction of the patient examined. And
the Dr. would here most positively state, that be
desires no patients to taKe treatment from him.
unless they are fully and completely satisfied
with bia consultations and examinations, which
are made free from charge.
Dr. ClarK bases bis practice upon the incontro
vertible lawof Nature. First That every cause
has au effect. Second That diseases are causes
producing effects or symptoms, and that every
disease bas itsown peculiar effects or symptoms,
which if properly and thoroughly understood by
tbe examining Physician, can be clearly pointed
out to the complete satisfaction of the patient ex
amined.
Dr. Clark's method of diagnosing or explaining
diseases and their symptoms is only the process
of reasoning from cause to effect, and ha been
acquired by thorough literary and medical cul
ture, and also by an almost unlimited practice In
every form of disease to which the human system
is liable.
By this process of reasoning tbe Dr. bas ac
quired a reputation and suocesi in treating dis
eases seldom attained.
Dr. Clark is making quite a number of eonve
nient appointments for (be benefit of invalids who
cannot go a long distance to consult biin Pa
tients will find this an opportunity rirely afford
ed, and one tbey should not fail to take advan
tage ot.
The Dr. furnishes all the medicines instru
menu and apparatus necessary for the successful
treatment i every cae.
