WHAT 60 VURN MB NT CC8T3. In the July Lumber of the North American Review, Hon. Wm. 8. Helman oncrestmen l'rcm this state and one of the ablest members of that body, discussee. "The increase of Public Expenditures." Although only a short and gen eral ummary, it yet preseats a most instructive lesson to the American people The interest which this article has awakened should serve as an incentive to Judgu Holman to expand the topic into •details.-To those who have given the •matter o^' public expenditures some 'thought ^ncf consideration it will seem 4nci edible that in the year 1841 the expenses of the government were only $22,000,000, while in 1882 they reached the enofmous sum of $14S ,000,000, not including the pensions or the interest on the public* debt, and for the present fiscal year they raach $ 179,729,015.21. "It must be admitted," aa js Mr. Holman, "that in some degree growth of population involves some increase in the exposes of our government, buv, it cannot be shown that the necessary increase would be even observable except through a considerable period of years." Mr. Holuian is correct ia this. There is obviously but little difference botween the cost of a government of tweaty millions and one of fifty millions of peop'e.

In 1841, $29,128 was deemed sufficient for the compensation of the President, and the expenses of the executive offloe this year thev amount to $141,1G4, besides $24,0U0 for the improvement of the ground on the south and the roadway and sidewalks on the north of the executive mansion. It i» to be regretted that Judge Holman does not give the public the items of this enormous expenditure. Taking out $50,000 (the President's salary) and $24,090 tor improving the grounds and walks, there still remains the sum of $91,164 as presidential perquisties. What is that for There is a glaring contrast between the ordinary expenses of the present year and those of John Quiacy Adams' administration. In the last year of Mr. Adams' term, the expenses of the government were only $11, 691,000. This profligate expenditure, as it was then termed, was made an is sue in the campaign and contributed greatly to the defeat of Mr. Adams. We have multiplied th expenditure sixteen fold, ana the party in power echoes "Tweed" and

about it?" Probably nothing, yet awhile. The whoh country seems to be whirling around in an extravagant debauch. When the headache comes, and not till theu, will the people demand economy in the publie expenditures.

Mr. Holman informs us that in 1818 the pay of congressmen was increased frem |6 per day, Quring the session, to $1,500 per year, but the people wouldn't submit to it, and the obnoxious law was promptly repealed.

Commenting on this the Legonier Banner says: This affords us a very good standard by which to measure the growth of official extravagance in two generations. As all the expenses of the goyernment have ultimately to be paid by the men who labor, either on the farm or in the shophow has the ratio between the wages of a congressman and that of a mechanic been preserved? In 181i the wages of a congressman was about four times that of a carpenter, who earned at that time a dollar and a half a day. Allowing that the wages of a carpenter has doubled, and oalling his wages at the present time three dollars a day, the wages of a congressman exceeds it thirteen times, he gets about forty dollars a day, not counting the various perquisites allowed bim which would make it a great deal more. His salary is ten thousand dollars for his term of twe years. He begins work in December, and adjourns the next July, call that seven months. He comes back again in December for the second session and works till the fourth of March, three months. He thus works ten months in the two years, and receives as wages one thousand dollars a month. This helps to explain the carnival of corruption and extravagance that is now coins on ia all the departments of the government. The venality of congressmen, and their dishonesty in taking wages for work not done, are forgotten in the mad revelry of plunder that is fed by the inordinate taxation of the people. With their hands in the public treasury, they coolly debit piivate larceny to the public account, and charge their own rapacity to "the profligate age in which we live."

Judge Holman next refers to the action of the Forty-seeend Congress in passing what is popularly known as the "salary grab," when at the close of the the members increased their own pensation 50 p?sr cent, thus giving to themselves a salary of about sixty dollars a day. The indignation of the country was so great that the Forty-third Congress hastened to undo the work of its predecessor. Mr. Holman thinks th the repeal of the "salary grab" law wii! due to the influenced the Grange movement. If this be true it is a pity that the Grange movement ever subsided. It that organization could inspire such a wholesome fear in the minds of members of Congress as to compel them to retrenchment, the sooner the "Grange movement" it revived the better it will be for the country. It was never so much needed as now."

An esteemed correspondent GAZETTE writes to express his conviction that Mr. Tilden is not entirely out of politics and would possibly yield to the expressed wish of the party to become a candidate for the Presidency. He regrets lhat a sectional feeling is sought to be creaUd in the choice of a standard bearer, such as arraying the West against the Easti and especially does hetfff demn the idea that Mr. Tilden represents only Eastern sentiment.

l'Mr.

Tilden,"

writes our friend, "represents ift its broadest and most beneficent sense Jeffcrsonian Democracy. It knows no East nor West. The desire for the renomination of the greatest living American springs from the people, and the small men—the-would-be Democratic leaders —had belter get out of the way Outside of the politicians the Presidential claims of any other, than the grand old man are scarcely discussed. The only doubt is whether he can be induced to emerge from his philosophic retirement at Graystone to lead the people to victory." Ii is unnecessary for the GAZETTE to say that it shares to the very fullest in these sentiments. There is no journal in the country which entertains a higher admiration for Mr. Tilden than the GAZETTE. We hold him to be the most illustrious, as well as the ablest of living American statesmen. If he could be induced to accept the candidacy of his party, the question of a would be settled in advance, taneous tribute of his country would receive with eager enthusias can be induced to be a cS! no section of the country the event with more sincere the Democratic party of Ind

Distinguished American Writer.

Bret Harte is a thoroughly American v. poet. He represents in a strong degree the impulsive, Democratic and plain spoken element of the American people. That he is a man of brilliant wit, wide V. information and strong purposes is proven by the success he has achieved.

He was born in Albany, H. Y., in 1888, He inherited from his parents English, German and Hebrew blood.

In 1854, the family moved to Cnlifornia, and in the rude mining settlements, surrounded by characters, lawless, immoral and profligate, the young man received impressions which were stamped upon his memory so forcibly that, in alter years, it became an easy task to reproduce them for the puttie with his v": pen. During the first thtee years in :c California, he passed through the vary ing hardships and frequent changes of occupation which seem to attend invariably the earlier steps of genius.

For a time, he was 'compositor in a printing office, tnen be mined for him* self, with most indifferent results. The life of a school tetcher, which followed, g? gave a new incentive to the literary

Much ot the work which came' from* 1 bis band at this time, bears all the marks of keen wit and pungency of expression which characterize the articles and sketches which he has retained in the complete edition of his writings.

In 1863, his first sketch appeared in the east, whioh was followei by frequent efforts, "until in 1868, he became the editor of the Overland Monthly. In 1S71 he came to Boston and was connected with the Atlantic Monthly. -v)*

His "Heatben Chine'' did tor him "T what "Thanatopsis" did for Bryant threw him into the front rank ot competitors for popular favor. "The Luckof RoasiDg Creek," "The Outcast ot Poker flat," "Miggles," etc., sketches of 'California life, which he publisued in the /.. Overland Monthly established a lepntation for him which he has admirably sustained by the brilliancy of his wit, his undeniable ability and the versatility of his genius.
