yVIISCELLANEOUS.
The Past Hlitory, anti Present Conelltiott
of the Finance* of the Government*—
Modern Extravagance.
At the clone of the first British war for
independence the total debt, foreign and
domestic, of this country, amounted to but
$52 00.0 0. It was afterwards increased
in 1803 hv the purchase of Louisiana which
cost sls 000 000 Yet so wisely was the
government administered that at the break
ing out of the war of 1812. the ‘national
debt had been reduced to about $45.000,00d.
At the conclusion of peace it had been
swollen to about SIOO,OOO 000, reaching its
maximum of $127,d00.000 in 1816 Then
iijrain bej; n the work of reduction and
retrenchment, which was prosecuted so
successfully that in 1835 the entire debt
w:is extinguished un Jer Jackson's admin
istration, and a handsome balance left in
the treasury.
At the close of the Mexican War, the
balance was again against us for $64 7 4.-
1 00, which was increased to $67,000,000
when Mr. Filin ire went out of i ffice. Mr.
Pierce, during his time, hr rnght it down
once more to the low figure of S2O 000.000,
while under Buchanan it rose again to
$9 > 000.000.
Here Mr. Lincoln undertook the subju
gation of the South, and the vulutnne of
expenditures swelled to gigantic propor
tions, under the spur of fraudulent army
contractors, impossible naval experiments,
and the enormous bounties paid to subsidize
a loreign soldiery. The annals of the wt r and
may be challenged in vain to afford a par
allel to the corruption and reckless extrav
agance which ensued during the four suc
ceeding years.
In 1865, at the Appomatnx surrender,
hostilities were quelled, at the almost in
calculable cost of $2,783 425,870 above the
revenues of the country.
Binee then as shown from the annual
imports of the Treasury, viz : from 1865 to
1871 inclusive, (charges for collection not
q>ing deducted.) covering a period of hot
-even years, the fabulous sum of $4,365, ~
9 0 000 litis actually been r°ceived in cash
tis the revenues of the nation, and still the
public national debt exceeds Two Billions
of Dollars.
What an exhibit of Grant’s administra
tion! Such astounding peculation and ex
travagance has never even dreamed of in
the pa>t history nf the world.
But this article is especially devoted to
statistscs, and we forbear comment.
Radical prints ring the charges upon the
allegation, that economy and reduction, are
the order of the day at Washington. Let
us prick this bladder by an examination of
the budget for the ensuing year. This, as
submitted to C'>ng.iess, amounts to the grand
total of Four Hundred and Fifty Millions
of and Mars. The estimates proper for th.p
next fiscal ypar, and ptit and wn at $330.-
0 O.uO >; tint the additional sl2o.o<lo,oo<>
are required for standing appropriation*
and payments already passed upon. Os
this., huge sum, kQ*QQP,Q.QO only will be
applied to the interest of the national di*bt ;
$200,000,000 are demanded for the ordinary
expenses of the G iverement. Think of
this, ve taxpayers, and confra-t these time*
t f fraud and iniquity with the pure days
of the Republic, when all regard and the flag
with reverence, arid were proud to be styled
American citiz ns.^
The estimates for the nrmv amount to
s3l 000.000, f>r the navy $lO 00 ,000, pos*
tal service, $3 ,00000 , public printing
$2 0 0, 00, collection of revenue sl2.< 00,-
000. foreign intercourse $,0,Q0 000’ Judicia
ry $4,<>00,90 ’, al tries $5 500 000. war debt
of Northern States $3,000,000, light hou-es
$1.50 ,0i 0. storm signal service $lO 000-
Indians $5,500,000. These embrace the
principal items of the budget, exclusive of
incidentals, secret service money, etc., etc.
Dutinu the entire eight year/ fit General
Jackson’s administration, the whole ex
penditure of the government amounted to
but $221,391 678 or less than half the sum
asked for by Mr. Grant for a single year’s
outlay
Mr. Tyler managed 'he government for
four years at a e«*st of sl4<) 964.929 or about
■me third of the stmie amount But those
were the Unaes when honesfy arid virtue
were deemed neces'-arv qualifications for
office, and a millionaire thief was not con
>idered a hero.

Watchman, What of the Night)
Si full and complete is the information
which we give from week to week with
reference to the Smith, in nil its diversified
interests, whether relating #0 the general
character of the country, to its agricultural
fitness, its mineral wealth, its social induce
ments, or to the various other requirements 1
demnndfd by those who really desire a
home in that beautiful country, that little
remains to us in these editorial column* to
do, more than to report the progress of the
work of development, and to encourage the
hearts and strengthen the hands of thnse
who truly taka an interest in the great
w.irk of Southern Independence—that sort
of independence which will render the
South the greatest, the wealthiest, the hap
piest people—an independence which will
not he the halcyon dream of Utopian schem
ers, but the real blessing of actual men and
wompn, intensely in earnest in all the
higher duties and aspirations of a true life.
There are bright signs of these coming
days. In every part of the Smith see
the evidences of tin appreciation of the
situation, and an evident intention to make
the most of it. never has been in
the Smith a more earnest determination to
thoroughly possess the land. These, native
horn, hitherto inert, intensely passive
Southern people, ar* 1 exhibiting an unpar
alleled activity in the work of the physical
regeneration of that favored land. Every- :
where men are at work, building railroads, i
erecting manufactories, developing mineral
resources, constructing works of public
utility, and private enterprise, inquiring
into improved methods of agriculture, and
seeking new products from the soil. And
yet this is but the beg’ning, the first drops
of the welcome shower which is to water
and refresh the land. And other people
are going daily to join their lots with our
own Southern friends. They going
from all lands, and all intent on finding
homes. They take with them money and
muscle, energy and brain. Only to-day
we sent out twenty intonne of the Southern
States. Letters are daily reaching us from
till over the North and West, and from
Europe, inquiring for fuller and more com
plete information. A gentleman from En
gland writes us to know of the Virginia
lands, and savs a large number of others
wish to come with him.
Let the South be united, earnest, active.
Do not fritter away money in ill-advised
political imnrgration schemes, mature far
reaching and liberal plans, act iD concert,
and the day-star of Southern supremacy
will gladly, gloriously, and rapidly arise to
the full zenith nf a well earned, and justly
merited success — The South.
A Boys Battle —The Wheeling (W.
V ) Register says ; For a week or two past
the boys of the rival villages of Bellaire, on
the Ohio side of the river, and Renwood, on
the West Virginia side, have been engaged
in fighting. Whenever a Bellaire boy was
found on this side of the river he was un
mercifully beaten, and when a Benwood
b"y was discovered in Brd!ai r e the flogging
was repaid with interest. Last Saturday
week the boys of the two places met on the
ico and engaged in a rpguler pitched battle,
using stones and even pistols. Some of the
c nibatants are now in Marshal county jail
awaiting trial for riot.
On Saturday last a vast number of boys,
about one hundred and fifty on each side,
met on the ice, by appointment, it would
seem, and engaged in a most terrific fight.
Evtrv conceivable missile v» as used, and
several of the combatants received outs in
the bead and face. The battle raged with
fury for about two hours. One b »y, a lad
about thirteen years old, named Furson,
whose parents live in Bellaire, ovaa struck
behind the ear lie fell on the ice stunned
In a short time he revived sufficiently to
enable him to gtv home. He suffered terri
bly during the night, and yesterday more
; ing he died from the effects of his injuries.
Now that one has been murdered, and sev
eral others have b p e.n badly injured, is it
not time for the authorities on both sides of
the to prevent any more such disgrace
lul riots?

The Laziest Man. — A long time ago,,
when we used To have our general militia
musters for Winchester county, at White
Plains, when lion. Gen. Aaron Ward was
the Colonel, there lived at that time all
over the country three of the laziest men
the sun ever shown'on, and known as Crazy
Lawrence, Possum Joel, nnd stuttering
Dave. It so happened that at one of our
grand local training days the said three
lazy men—l presnme by sympathy—got
tgether, and sunning themselves, like snakes
in the spring of the year, when oor Colonel
and several officers chanced to pass that
wav. As soon as the Colton cl paw the men
he remarked to those with him : “There sit
the three laziest men in the country, and I
would give a dollar to know which is the
laziest man of the three !”
Suiting the action to the word, he took
from his pocket a silver dollar and threw it
on the ground, a few yards in front of tho
men and said, “There is a dollar for tbe
laziest man, and now decide who he is.”
CraZy Lawrence commenced crawling on
his hands and knees towards the prize, pay*
iog, “It’s miue, l’mo lazy—the laziest.”
“Not so fa6t,” says the Colonel, “Let us
see what the other two say to that.”
Possum Joel then put iu hie claim by
rolling over toward the dollar, saying. “It
is mine. lam too laZy to creep for it.”
“Wait a moment,” savs the Colonel;
“wait a moment, and let us hear from
Dave ”
Dave had sat the whole time perfectly,
unmoved, and smoking a short pipe.
The Colonel Slid, “Dave, wbat have you
got to eay about the dollar ?”
Dave deliberately took the pipe out of bis
mouth and coolly drawled out; “We-we
well Cur-cur-Cornel, if I’m-to-h-have the
dodo-lar, y-y-you ina-ma-ma-muet put it
in ma-ma- ray pocket 1” lie put the pipe
in his mouth, and the “Curnel” put the
dollar in Dave’s racket.

him, he was sitting by a table in a bed-*
chamber of- Hotel*in Omaha* listening
to the conversation of two young men who
were recalling the particulars of a robbery
irj which they had just teen
while they counted over the proceeds of the

Learning the number of their room, he
descended the stairs, consulted tbe register,
fixed their names in njemorv. together w ith
