It ia plain that thoae I president of the Southern Cimted- mlltione could lie laved by catling down (iovernnioet expeuaea, without hilert'eraii-a with thn harmonious and sale working of the machinery. But tiiia retrenchment involve* the cutting down of aalerica as well as other expense*, and there we touch the Congressmen in a tender spot. If some decent wav could bo found to accept him, from the general re duction, I am satisfied that he would at once lesson the pay of every offi cer of the Government, and force the utmost economy in every expen- eitere. But with what force can he •a/ that his neighbor shall suffer while his own pay untouched I We mutt devise a scheme for making up to him what he will loae by reduc tions which thh condition of the country renders imperatively neces sary. Who will start A subscrip tion! Even as moths fly around the fire that la yet to deatroy them, ao do Bayaa aud Sherman and the rest of Administration hover around the Ncto Orleans troubles. Rather, perhaps they "feel the horrible fascination that make* the criminals revesit the scenes of their crimes. Visiting Statesmen should be appoidted to ad vise fifessrs. hayes and Sherman to Keep clear of on affair which can only be business of theirs if they are as guilty as Anderson and Wells. The whole country is watching them. Hayes is in the White House aud Sherman in the Treasury only be cause Bradley ond the rest said that the Federal norernment could net interfere with the Returning Beard of a sovereign State, no matter how great the fraud of that Board might be. Hayes and Sherman should remember this and keep their hands off and tongues still. Representative Glover, of Mo, whose ideas of rephblican govern ment are perhaps as sound and as those of any other man in Con gress, recently presented a bill to prescribe the means by which At torneys practicing before the De partment should be “out off' or disbanded from such practice. Heretofore a large business of that kind, built up after great labor and expenditure and per haps by yrars ot both, could be destroyed in a moment by the petty head of an insignificant Bu reau, who would <)ui‘e likely be himself merely a bird of passage, h tiding his place for a mouth and then being turned out to make place for some one else. Repre sentative Glover proposes that a bearing shell be given by the At torney General of the United State* before the Attorney shall be disbanded, and this, or some other cheek upon men having “u little brief authority” seems to me eminently proper. Wbat the silver bill Seuate de bates may seem to oar descendants we cannot tell, but those of us who have listened attentive to them fait to find instruction or new idea# iu any except thuse of Voor- hees, Bayard and Blaine. The others have been dull enough, aud hare had few listeners. What Jones will say, who has iu bis pueptoymouta regular staff of tuen who do nothing but read ou the subject of silver, so that they may supply him with points, what Oukiing may say, it he speaks on the subjeet. may be well worth hearing, but the five Senators named are til who, as we look upon the matter now, cau gain any reputation from the discus sion. A vote will probably be reached this week, aud a week iu the House will settle the subject finally. Tuesday was a historical day— doe that recalls anil emphasizes changes in the world. A picture, supposed to represent President Lincoln and his Cabinet, at the jifHii deliberation ou the Kmnnci m eraey, more distinctly than any other person proclaimed negro slavery as the chief support and principal glory of the Government just organized. Ouiy hull a gen eration hue passed since then, but the thoughts aud wishes ol Mr -Stephen* and his constituents, ns expressed ou Tuesday, can hardly be believed those ol men uf the same century. The two speeches priuted together, would be widely sought aud read throughout the couutry. Austin. QBOKGIA. NBWS In Madison conuty recently a grown man was married to u girl eleven years old.
