With the scant of her flenr-de-Lis;

But little, God wot, she owes it thanks
For a freedom such as hen.
With hate for the British red. which glows
Wherever lla has la seen,

May mar their favorite green.

Ilesignatioa of Fish.
The Trib*ne't Washington special, of
the 21st inst, says:
It has been long known that Secretary
Fish had decided to retire from office,
and that be has long begged iu vaiu for
the acceptance of his resignation. The
President, however, never haring seen a
time in which he thought he could spare
the Secretary, without injury to the pub
lic service, has declined to relieve him.
It is now stated, on the highest authori
ty, that Mr. Fish will soon discontinue
housekeeping here, and not resume it
again. He has said within a day or two
that he considered the time had now ar
rived when he thought he might retire
with satisfaction to all parties concerned.
The oa^y delay will be oooasioned by the
closing np of the affair* of the Joint
High Commission, and the appointment ,
of arhitratora on the part of the United j the (
States in the oummiasiou alnnit to ns*-m
ble at Genera, and the Secretary says he
will on no account accept the commis-
aionenhip lor tbe settlement of the Ala
bama ana other claims, nor can he fill
any offioe in the creation of which he
bore any psrt The President will ap
point tue arbitrator a* mj«»u as the treaty

HOW HE DIED.
The Sad Fate of Dr. Livingstoue.
A Western exchange gets off the fol
lowing burlesque on tbe mnch discussed
question of the fate of the great African
traveler:
Sir Roderick Murchison is hereby in
formed that Dr. Livingstone is very dead,
indeed. Au intelligent gorilla has recent
Iv been imported to this city, who had
the good fortune to serve the doctor as u
body servant iu the interior of Africa,
and he thus describes the manner of hi*
master's death. The doctor was accus
tomed to pass his nights in the stomach
of an acquaintance—a crocodile about
fifty feet long. Stepping out one eve
ning u> hike observation of one of the
lunar eclipses peculiar to the country lu
spoke to his host, saying that as he should
not return until after bedtime, he would
not trouble him to sit up to let him iu;

Next day the meluucholy remains wert

singular reticence regarding his disposi

Radical Extra*usance.
As an offset to the charges brought
igaiust tin* Radical party, some of their
journals have the audacity to declare that
the expenditures of the government have
been reduced, when the years 18G9-70
and 1871 are compared. Mr. Bock, of
Kentucky, a member of the Committee
of Appropriations, just before the close
of the last session ot the Forty-first Con
gress, most effectually disposed of this
falsehood, uuder which exposition even
Mr. Dawes, with ull his talent for making
the worse appear the better cause, wo.-
luicL'd to keep silent. According to a
table prtM* utr-1 by Mr. Beck at that time,
the exfi*ufrhti.i t s fur 1860-70 were $286,-
(187,783, while thoao of 1870-71 were
$202,830,131. The amounts appropria
ted for 1K70-71 Were slightly altered by
the subsequent amendment of bills—
for instance the Indian appropriation
was increased more thau one million of
doliur*—I mi no material change was
made in (ho aggregate amount of appro
priations. Tiie expenses were increased
instead »>i decreased by tho last Con
gress. The public can form some idea
as to the justness of the claim of “econ
omy” set iq* by the Administration from
a glance at the figures lately furnished by
the Secretary of the Treasury. The total
expenditures of the government for the
fiscal year eliding June 30, 1800, were
$63,023,780, while those for the fiscal
year just closed amount to the enormous
Htun of $292,113,260. If from this lattei
amount be deducted the interest paid up
on the public debt ($127,702,338)-, the
cost of collecting the internal revenue,
($7,000,000), and an estimated increase
on account of army and navy pensions,
of $20,000,000 (the gross amount paid
pensioners the last year being put down
by the Department ut $28,000,000 in
round numbers), there will remain the
sum of $137,410,031 as the amount of
expenditure# beyond those of the legiti-
i results of the civil war. These
tig tires prove, says a contemporary, tlmt,
instead of reducing the expenses of the
government from a war basis, the Radi
cals arc increasing them each year. It is
well for tax-payers to keep these facts iu
mind. They are worth more than all the
nonsen >c printed in the Radical pipers

A Western exciuuigu vouches for the
following;
A few days ago, while about a dozen
men were engaged in clearing ont a large
spring from which tbe jteople ohtuiu wa
ter for irrigation, they found, standing
erect, iu the spting, what had been a
year old heifer in an advanced state
of petrifaction. The auinml is so com
plete that < v n tli<‘ ear marks are plainly
visible. The work of petrifaction has
proceeded so far in the case of this heif
er that it is quite hard, and if left in the
spring some time longer it would, doubt
less, no completed. We think that il
would be advisable to let it remain until
the full result is obtained, as a petrified
animaUentirc would be a great curiosity,
and would be a valuable addition to the
growing and interesting specimens at the
Dcooivt Museum.

The Constitutionality of the Iucome

An Ice-Storm.

Uu Iuusruay afteruoou Luat, about
q’clock, a modi destructive aud ter-
.lie storm visited this immediate sec-
on. The early part of the day was
i v sultry, and the sun hod been
..lining but a few minute* before ti*e
ty phoon-tornado—h urricane si lower
of icebergs came ou, which not only
astonished the natives here in its
f riking and eccentric gyrations, Uqb
broke more glmss and unrooled a
greater number of housed than tip*
whole show was worth. The storm
earn** from the southeast and passed
over the towns of Huron, Wcbsle
and Portage, just touching Hancock
iu its course. Mr. L&ngotr# reside.net'
in tliis vilhige, was blown over and its
interior mechanism was sadly demorr
alized thereby, and the wonder is that
the inmates were not injured. Sev
eral other buildings in the way of the
storm Were shaken iroin their very
foundation, but escaped from any se
rious mishap. r llie breakage of win
dow-glass from the effects of the tor-
ado was enormous, and from 4h**
lost reliable data we can obtain or
iis head, there was not less thau
WOO lights destroyed. There is n
story from Huron town, for the truth
i f which we will not vouch - , but w ill
i lerely give it, so that some idea mav
1 i formed of the size of the icebergs
i >at fell during that memorable
* orm. A sperical-shai>ed ieelierg
i i’opped on one of the streets of that
village, near a down grade, which
gave it sufficient momentum to tear
np one or tw'o trees which it encoun
tered, and it was only stayed in its
course by lodging between the walls
oi* a ravine, wliere the road winds its
way to the village.
For the benefit of those who do not
know the fact, we state that the Ku-Klux
law provides, in violation of the Federal
C- institution, which requires a demand
fc troops to come from the State author
ity s, that the President may, upon liis
own motion, send troops to any State to
put down whatever he may consider re-
bel ion, and gives to him the power,
whenever in his judgement, the public
safety may require it, to suspend the
privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
aud declare martial law. Now, anybody
who understands {“ the logic of events”
can see that under such a law the Presi
dent is all-powerful. He judges as to the
dangerousness of tho rebellion. He de
clares martial law. He suspends the writ
of habeas ootpus. New, suppose he does
these things without cause ; where is the
remedy ? There is none. The courts
are silenced by martial law. The people
are kept down by trrops. Is it not plaiu,
then, that the President may at will sup
press any paper iu tho South Rich
mond Dispatch.
The New York Sun thinks it is hardly
to be wondered at that carpet-bag politi
cians in the South find it difficult to gain
social recognition from old residents,
when they are represented by such meu
Councilman Alfred Crocker, of Peters-
bi rg, Virginia. One Richard Green, a
nt gro under sentence of death for mur
der, has been interviewed by a reporter
of the Petersburg Index, and the follow
ing is a portion of the con versation which
took place on that occasion :
“Where were you on the night of the
murder ?”
“At Mr. Alfred Crocker’s store, near
Pocahontas bridge, playing dominoes. ”
“Who is Alfred Crocker?”
“A Yankee, who keeps store. He is a
member of tho City Council, and keeps
an all-night house; he sells liquor in the
back room next to his store, aud we col
ored folk# play cards aud dominoes there
uearly every night.”
Even the ignorant negroes canuot but
hold these fellows iu supreme contempt;
what, then, must the intelligent whites
think of them?
The Philadelphia Age of Juno 20, says:
Important facts have transpired in rela
tion to the resolution passed by the Rad
ical Convention iu Pennsylvania, indors
ing Graut. It appears that this resolu
tion was twice offered in the Committee,
and twice rejected by an almost unani
mous vote. It was next offered in open
Convention, where the members did uot
like to vote agaiust it, and allowed to go
through. The sense of the Convention
evidently against General Grant, and
it is said the countercurrent was set run
ning by Senator Cameron. The old trick
ster does not want the President to see
that he is too stroug in Pennsylvania.—
That might detract from tho power and
influence of the Senator at the White
II Rise.
Several excursions are now being made
iu Europe by tho people’s servants, and
the people may perhaps like to know the
figures they are paying for these pleasure
jaunts. Wo give a couple of items from
the Washington Patriot, as follows: “F.
E. Spiuuer, Treasurer of the United
States, salary $6,000 annum, with $10 per
-lay, aud ten cents per mile additional,
while traveling in Europe for health and
pleasure; W. A Richardson, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, $3,000 poran-
-mm, with $10 per day and 10 cents per
mile additional while in Europe. ” If the
“Government” wishes to hire any more
excursionists at the above rates, we think
that the supply will be found equal to the
lemand.
