It nl* ludM to the pr not lot of MOfiOny In nil brnnchen of th« Ooyernment. The present rote of governmentnt expenditure It *himu« nil; It Is nnoutrnge wbtei ought not to be tolernted. We eee It stnted thnt the Income of the Oovernment from nil eoureee, dorlng the Inst your, rnn up to the enormous sum of gf^o,. 000,000, nnd this Is probably not very far from the trnth, If not exactly true. And yet, with nil this vast Income, the pul llo debt has been decreased but a trlHo—n trllVo compared with what It should have been. What becomes of Mil* vast Incomet It Is squandered, literally squandered. A large sum Is required to susloin an army a great deal larger than the nc* eoaaltles of the eountry demand. They liter* ally eat out the substance ol tho people without rendering any equivalent. Then there la the froethnen’s bureau and the "reconstruction enormity, all demanding a tuclcs* standing army. Hut we do not propose to particularize. The appropriations made by Congress tor purposes, if not wholly useless, certainly for object* which might bo postponed to a more suspicious period, are In tho highest degree extravagant, are unparalleled In our history. and cvlneo a great degree of recklessness Incompatible with ordinary prudence. The expenditures of tho Oovernmcnt. aside from the Interest on the public debt, should be and can be reduced to loss than a hundred millions a year; and under such statesmanship a* wo had a few years ago, would bo so reduced. This done, with tho present rate of taxation and Income, wo ought to beextio gulshlng the public dci«* *• thus cut ott, every year, a considerable source of drainage In the shape of Interest. I nlcss this policy shall be adopted, It is useless to talk about paying our debt. It will, otherwise, remain an Incubus upon our energies and It* Interest an exhausting drsft flpon our resources for generations, Indeed forovor. Ills astonishing that this policy of economy Is not adopted by these who now direct our affaire; It I* still more astonishing that tho people do not demand and enforce It, We undertake to say that there Is ne government In Christendom which displays the recklessness and extravagance In expenditure that I* new practiced In our own. There Is no people so heavily taxed. Our rats of expenditure, aeeordiog to a statement which recently came under our observation, and which we take to bo authentic, exceeds that of Oreat Hrttaln by about one hundred million* of dollars; at any rate, according to this statement, our Income exeeods that of Kngland by about one hundred million* of dollars; and wc are spending, or rather squandering, all we get. If a suitable proporllon of this vast Income were applied to tho extinguishment of our debt wo should not complain; but It Is not so applied; we repeat, It Is squandered. It Is literally wasted In a way which nothing but madness and folly or Inexcusable Indifference would tolerate. With such a system of taxation and such a rate of Income a* we now have, wo ought to pay elf our debt at the rate of at least throe hundred and fifty millions a year; and with the proper economy we could do so. At this rate we should, In four years, reduce our debt more than ono-half. This point achieved, and onedmlf the annual Interest thus taken form our shoulders, tho taxing system might bo revised and the rate of taxation considerably diminished. We should then begin to seo our way out ofour dllllenUloi, Hut, as preliminary to this, some moans of diminishing the expense* of collecting tho taxesof tbo Federal (tovornfnent should bo-devised. It I* disgraceful and a shame upon our legislation that it should cost so \ i*t a sum to collect our revenue. It Is not only a source of extravagance, but a mean* of corruption as well. It Is made a resource In party management, but we think all men agreo that It is paying for party ascendancy at too dear a rate. In this respect our llopubllo may learn a useful lesson from the monarchy of (Ireat Ifrltan, It has been suggested that the collectors of state taxes, for a small additional percentage, might bo made the agents fer collecting the Voder*! revenue, nnd thus the expenses might bo d mlnlsbcd more than enc-half. Hut whatever the method It should ho a first consideration to cut off this means of waste and corruption. It Is absurd that so largo a portion of our revenue should be exhausted when multiplied and useless elllclals are engaged In Its collec-

tion.

We suppose, however, It Is altogether usc1< s to expect or even hopo for any of these salutary reforms while tho present ruling party remains In power. These very abuses servo the purposes of party strength, by purchasing tho active Inllunnco of those who share In thetr proflts. Ho, If the people want these abuses corrected, they must begin with themselves. They must throw olT tho lethargy which now paralyzes their own energies before they can administer that rebuke to corruption which Its wickedness so richly merit. If they do their duty there Is hopo for us, but unless they resolve upon this tho future looks gloomy and oppressive Indeed. V iiignrltV' Indecency nnd VralnnllyThe Journal characterizes the speech of Mr, I/>\vk. st the Fifth ward meeting on Monday night, as a compound of "ribaldry, vulgarity, Indecency and profanity." There was nothing In the speech or that gentleman to Justify the assault of the Journal, but If there had been such a criticism come# with ill grace from a paper that lauds the recent speeches of Hkn, Wann, acting Vice President of the Ignited Htates, In the political canvass now pending In Ohio, The New York llmtUl, In noticing one of tho recent efforts of this model llepublk-an artist, remarks; "Old Hen.

And bow do they get this “rightf" It Is not from tho authority which declares that greeD backs, legal tender treasury notes—are (he equivalent of gold, of coin, in tho payment of debts! And what right has tho Government to set up a standard of morality and a standard of values, so far as tho transactions between individuals are concerned, which are not equally applicable to the transactions between the Government and Its creditors!

“This nation Is suffering to-day because It was not done—It Is suffering as tbe Jews suffered when tho Almighty commanded them to slay a wicked nation for some reason, and they deliberately failed to execute the decree of tbe Almighty.

F'or, as 1 have nlrcadr stated, I don’t address this argument to any man who, In the rebellion, stood by it and sympathized with, and who, when our troubles were thickest upon us, got up a convicted traitor as a candidate for Governor, and stood out against all tho canvassing, and begging, and pleading that was done to save the t "intry. 1 don’t address arguments to those men. Thev protend to act upon the old principles of old Thomas Jefferson—glorious old patriot! f revere him as much as tbe best of them. He laid down the principles wc have taken up nnd carried forward so triumphantly, because they were founded in the Republicanism and righteousness; nnd,with tho favor oUMmighty God, that Is why we are triumphant, and why

we shall not fall.

"Why, brother Thurman, on the principles yon advocate to-day, If yon gain a victory you must plant your batteries very high; you must storm the Heba*topol the Almighty, and shell him from bis throne, before your principles can predominate.

Let us beware! Let us continue In doing right as we have begun. 1-et us go up to the polls, every man of us, and give to these men what belongs, under God, as much to them as to us. Lot us give them tbo last meed of justice that belongs to them, for I tell you that my creed Is, equal and exact justlcc to nil men. without regard to race, color or condition.

From the BniTalo ( ourler. Ia Wilkes flootli Alive!

Several months ago, It will be remembered,

a paragraph went the rounds to tbe effect that a wager of a large amount on the existence of Booth, the assassin of Lincoln, had been decided In the affirmative, In Calcutta. Before that, at different times, mysterious bints had appeared In certain papers, Insinuating that Booth was still in the land of tbe living. To these we bad not given a shadow of credence, but now we admit that our faith In his death

Is decidedly shaken, for two reasons. The first will be found in a narrative from

the Louisville Journal, which appears tn another portion of this morning’s Courier. Wo oan only Judge of Its truth from Us face, but we think that our readers will agree with us that if It Is a hoax, it is most admirably con-

cocted. to say tbe least.

Our second reason is of a different character. A few weeks since at tbe time when Booth’s diary was raked out of the recesses of the War Department, a correspondent of the New York UrorLf undertook to prove by internal evidence, that the record waa a forgery. We took up the point, and showed to our satisfaction, at least, also from Internal evidence, that the diary was genuine. The day our article appeared, a gentleman called upon us— one whom we well know; whose word, so far ae our experience goes, Is Inviolate, and who has led a roving life for several years—and entcred into » conversation on tho subject of the lie supported the theory of tho correspondent of tbe World. As be was stubborn in bis views, and we, on our part, bad spent some time In the elaboration of our argument to the contrary, and are not dlsttngulshed for amiability when disputed, tho discussion soon assumed a heated tone. Our argument#, however, were too strong for our opponent. From point to point we drove him, but to our surprise he gave no evidence of conviction that the diary waa genuine. Finally, when it be-

The American Cooking Stove. After twenty yean of experience in the manufacture of s oves, we became convinced, son e six years since, that a vast amount of money was being expended by the people of this country, in buy ing cheap and almost worthless stoves, a large portion of which was wasted; and that true economy coat is tad in buying the best stoves that could be made, notwithstanding the price was higher. With this view we proceeded to construct the American Cooking Stove, and spared no pains or expense to make it the best aad most ■ft I —mni.--Ama w— have
