The London Times strongly favors this idea and hopes and believes the next session of Parliament will be occupied with the consideration of Irish affairs.

Public Economy

The present Congress has thus tV.r shown disposition to meet the general wish for retrenchment and econoroy in our national expenditures. It is busily engaged in reducing the outlays of public .money in every quarter possibly and is Adhering to the old rule of rigid aerotlny of all de« mandi on the treasury. It is evident that the usual land grant "swindles.'1 mail-con-tract operations, harbor appropriations, Indian annuity thefts, ocean mail robberies, &c., -will not bo perpetrated on the present Congress tu any considerable extent. Now that the rebellion .is over, and the "chivalry" do not propose to go into another during their natural liveSj there i« no need for any extraordinary and lavish appropriations of the public money. The work before Congress and which the people expect of it, ia to reduce internal revenue taxes as rapidly as possible and lift the burdens which the rebels of the South, and their Democratic allies of tb# North, have placed on the country. The public credit raust be protected as a primary object, but every effort should be made to lighten the burdens of taxation direct or indirect, and we think this work is being done. We hope that the present Congress will curtail every ex: pense possible, and will watch every ddl» lar that goes out of the public treason^ and see that the Government gets full val* ue for it Gen. GBANT is showing a commendable seal and intention to reduce the expenses of the "War Department to the lowest possible farthing and Congress is sustaining his efforts in that direction. If all tbe other headB of Departments and the President will unite in the aarae effort a large saving of the resources of the country can be at once effected. It i.? trud that the war entailed on the Government a vast expense in the shape of its pension list, but the wife and children ol the soU dler who fought our battles should not be permitted to beg bread, and up.decent person denies this. Outside of thejo.erotts? ed pension list aud the expenditures necessary to sustain the Freadmen'a Bureau, the Pacific railroad and ihe military gov. ernmejots in the Southern States there is now.no need for any extraordinary expenditures. If we had an hocost Administration the reduction of public expenses would soon be made apparont by Congress. JOHNSON and his Cabinet are on their last legs and are desperate and labor to throw every obstacle in the way of Congressional .reform.— He and they 4tre apparently buying up the world outside of the United ^Stfttn6 and contracting enormous debts for the purchase of contigioua real estate relying on Congress to ratify their xioiiiMota and furnish the gold to pay them out. Their trades are really fair enough, in ordinary times, rind probably worih lUeircost to the country but still aro unwise in the present condition of the nation and it is doubtftil if Congress will ratify them. "VFe can pay for those already made, without serious inconvenience perhaps, but Cow gross ought to stop Mr. SEWARD where he is now or he will buy the whole oceanic world on credit soon, and expect tbe present Congress to pay for it in gold which cannot be done, exactly at thi? time, nor it desirable that such should be the case. If the present administration will sug* gest reductions of public expense to Congress and will aid that portion of the gov. ernment in enforcing them there can be no doubt that they will be worked out speedily.

Johnson's Nominee.

Mr. Johnson with all his other follies and vagaries seems to have recently conceived the idea that he is called upon to nominate the person who shall suceecd to his honors and patronage. He and his cabinet have, therefore, recently constituted themselves a nominating convention for and in behalf of the people «f the United States and have presented General Hancock as the "coming man.'' The fulsome and ridiculous message which the President recently sent to Congress in relation to Gen. Hancock WAS characterictic of the ra»n. No other President ever the like nor probably ever will. Hancock appears to have accepted Sheridan's place simply to revoke his plans and orders and to inaugurate "my policy" in the South, at tbe behest of Johnson. For all this dirty work he Is conipiired by the President to Washington, and Congress is called upon to acknowledge his great services by some 0ttlog testimonial. The Cabinet nominee will not go down with the people or Congress. Tbe whole game is a failure^ but it indicates tbe fact that Johuson is out of the ring *g a candidate. He may have adopted the plan of nominating Gen- Hancopk as a graceful acd delicate way of announcing this important fact to the people at large. The belief that the country cares any thing about Mr. Johnson's wishes as to a successor it a mere huilucination of his own.— All parties are fce^ily tired of Johnson and his cabinet and administration. and care nothing for their plana, j^irposes or desires. The Hancock dodge wttl not A&awer. •. J. most try again if he wfehtft to e?*^te 9 successor.

'TH£ Louisville Journal lias become con« viciced that General Grant is a Republican and has no sympathy with tho Copperhead party.

THS Ken York Eqpreas says that the shortest cut to prosperity is to "throw opon tho ten Southern States to Northern and Western capital, industry and enterprise." That is just what the Republican party has, bea^ trying to. do for two years.

IT IB said by Washington correspond ent« that Mr. SEWARD is actually nego. tiating with Spain through Mr. HALB, our Minister at Madrid, for the purchase of Cuba. All thin sort of thing ^wot»ld be well enough in ordinary times?' but just now it seems to bo out of place. If Congress finally

confirms his purchase of St.

Thomas from Denmark it will give our country sufficient foothold in tho West Indies to answer for a long time to come. JOHKSQI* and his Cabinet seem to be determined to spend all the monoy they can got.

MAJ»V of the Copperhead Confederate Democratic journals have commenced their wartaro upon Gen. Grant, supposing that he will be the next Republican candidate for the Presidency. Tbe General has had a very considerable experience in warding off the shot and shell of thosowho have sought to destroy the Union and Constitution within the last five yearB, and, was always triumphant. The people have confidence that ha will triumph over the same gang again.,.

THK JOURNAL states that Senator Mor-» ton is in favor of the contraction policy of Mr. McCullocb. This is not true, and the Journal must have known it was not true when the. statement was made.— Last Friday in the Senate, Mr. Morton made an earnest, but unsuccessful effort to secure action on tbe House bill stopping a contraction of the currency by the Secretary of the Treasury. Senator Morton expresses the opinion that it would be better for the country if the currency was expanded, rather than contracted at pres* ent-

THERE is not the slightest probability that any one of the members of the Reconstruction Committee ever saw the letter of Grant to Mr. Johnson, until after it and was published within the past few days while the Reconstruction law was not the otfspring of his suggestions, nor yet framed to coincide with hl3 views, yet hij official correspondence recently published indicates very plainly what his opinions ara on the subjeet of reconstruction.— Ulyssus S. Grant will be our next Chief Magistrate, provided he survives the day of inauguration.

THE Democracy all over ihe State are holding their County Conventions and appointing their best men as delegates to their State Convention on the 8th of January. Nearly every county furnishes a candidate or two for a State office. The "harmonious" Democracy will find it a difficult matter to choose their standard bearers from the host of names offered. Nearly every Democratic attorney in the State of any prominence Is named as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, This fact argues^that the Democrats are getting to be somewhat sanguine as to carrying the State next fall and that the can* didate for Lieutenant Governor hopes to be Governor. We shall see how it will turn out.

THK Committee on Military Affairs the House has reported back the bill whiQt prohibits the restoration of any officer the army who has been dismissed or caBh_ iared by sentence of court-martial approv ed by the President. This bill has direct references to the cases of ex-Brigadier General Filz John Porter and ex-Quarter-master Belger, and it has been rendered necessary by the efforts of these persona to get themselves reinstated. There is involved in this something more than the mere question whether those individuals shall be remitted to the salaries and hon ors which they have lost. It concerns the public, that justice shall be certain, and that its decrees shall be irrevocable when finally determined upon. If tbe efforts Porter and Belger should be successful any officer disposed to be disobedient like Porter, or unfaithful like Belger, might enter into a calculation of tho chances and whether he might not havo sufficient political influence either to prevent sentence from being passed on him if convicted, or to have tde finding of tho court-martial set adde and himself restored to his form: er position. The passage of the propoed act of Congress will put an end to uncertainty in regard to this matter in future, and prevent the injustice which i6 meditated in the cases to which reference has been made.

Johnson's Appointments. The present Administration of Mr. JOHNSON has removed and appointed more officials, for purely political Opinions, than other which has existed. Tho corruption and iniquity which has been inaugurated by the present Executive in the matter of Presidential appointments is alarming. Every week or two some disgusting and ridiculous exposure of Mr. JOHNSON'S mode of dispensingofficial patronage is made public, still the system goes on. Honest, competent ^aad faithful men, all over the country, are daily removed from office for the simple reason that they are not JOHNSON men, and mora political ha«ks and "turn-coats" are put into their places, without regard to integrity or qualifications, for tbe sole reason that, within a few weeks or month! past, they havo become JOHSON men. No matter how mean a man may be or how little repute he may have among his neighbors for either sense or integrity, if bo "abandons the Republican or Democratic parties and announces himself to be a JOBSON man, and whines for an office because of his mere transformation, bo is generally soon placed in the shoes of some better man. Sometimes it occurs that these sudden transformations to the JOHNSON faith area little too startling and abrupt or that the fellow who turns his coat is a little too worthless, to recognize and he there* fore gets nothing. The general rule, however, has been to reward political desertion and treachery at any hazard of injury to the public service. All tha De» partments of the government, under the present administration furnish abundant illustrations of the workings of this rule. In revenue matters, particularly, it has become notorious and disgusting. The present Congress ought, ir possible, to abate this whole thing of the removal of skilled and faithful Government officers by the President, without charges of some kind preferred, and the substitution of new converts to

amy

policy" in tbeir

stead, by the adoption of some general law in regard to appointments and remetals from civil offices. It is a reform much needed and one which will be sus* tained by the whole country. The public service demands some such legislation if it can be bad.

With tbe gathering in of tbe Mississippi cropa, it ia found tnat the corn crop smaller than waa expected, and in large tracts of country there will not be enough to last till mid-winter. The smallness of the crop will entail great ptivation and suffering, especially as the general poverty of the people makes it difficult and of-
