FINANCIAL.
A few days ago we republished from
the Boston Tost editorially—and of
oonrse approvingly—an article com
menting upon the growing extrava
gance of the Administration and calling
attention particularly to the increase in
the eetlmates for the approaching fiscal
year. For this our contemporary, tbe
Enterprise, takas us to task, and, with
Its usual fondness for hard words, calls
us •' unjust, unfair and unreasohable.”
' TW Vsply of the Enterprise ia con
fined to an elaboration of two points
In both instances the premises are but
partly true, and, as a consequence, the
Joint conclusion is false. The depre
ciation of gold is of course an element
in the calculation; but the depreciation
of gold during the last twenty years is
fixed by high financial authority at
some '&X per cent., whereas, the Enter
prise, lu furtherance of Its. argument,
estimates it at 50 per cent. In balanc
ing hundreds of tuiUioiis the difference
in the above rates is appreciable.
Again: The *• noble army of officehold
ers ” has, of necessity, been largely re
cruited iu order to carry on the war
•gainst property, rendered necessary
by our euormous debt. These soldiers’
wages must be paid. They should be
paid, but paid as economically as is
- -consistent with the national honor and
'the needful national expenditure. But
itheu, the increase in the expenses of
.’this branch of the civil service does not
•cuver one tithe oi the increase in the
.general estimates, and the Enterprise
would have us believe that this in
■crease, together with the appreciation
oi values, accounts for it all.
Last year the estimates were $293,
000,000; this year, $314,000,000. Now,
that is an increase of §21,000,000—over
seven ,per cent., entirely unexplained,
and unexplainable by the argument
alluded to; for the same condition of
faats obtained last year as now. Dur
ing Buchanan’s last year the entire ex
,penses—excluding interest on the pub
lic debt and the redemption of in
Jakling bonds—was less than $70,000,000.
■tiinoe (lien we have increased in popu
dation some 30 per cent. Talcing this
■increase alone into consideration our
•estimates — exclusive of interest—
isbould not exceed $91,000,000. The
•depreciation in the value of gold—say
4Vi per oent.—would swell this amount
to $95,000,000; and estimating green
backs at .89 the estimates should not
-exceed $105,000,000. Our interest, sink
ing fund, etc., is less than $133,000,000;
total estimate, $240,000,000. Now there
appears to us to be a alight increase,
after all fair allowance, of about $76,
000,000 which is unaccounted for by
the Enterprise, or is only explained
upon the supposition that it is needed
in the collection of the revenue.
Rather an overestimate, we submit.
Wears not lu favor of destroying
our skeleton army; we are not in
favor of so cutting down our navy es
timates as to leave us unarmed before
the world; we are not in favor of
stinginess to our civil servants; we
sire iu favor of payiug our debt and its
Interest without discount. But we do
want Infbrmatlon—not generalization
and vaporization—as to our unexam
pled expenditures.

Marcus Boruck, the editor of the
Bpirit of the Times, a fifth-rate horse
(one-horse) paper, publish©.! in San

readers to the foliowiagiucssot balder
dash: ' . A. •
We commenced in onr last issue .to
affix our name to our editorials, and
shall compel all others writing for this
paper to do the same. We d« not
write and publish a single line we are
not responsible for, and wa intend that
every one else shall assume thorough
and complete responsibility of their
utterances whew they go to print. Any
article we write We have the oourage to
buck up, and that being the case there
is no reason why we should not sign it
tiie same as we would s letter. We do
this In no spirit of vatu-glorious boast
ing, but we like the «ystem.and in
dorse it by our acts. Bohuck.
Every respectable Journal is sup
posed to have a head, and that head is
presumed to be responsible for all
anonymous articles and oommuoica
tious appearing iu the columns of the
paper. The publisher of a newspaper
who would oblige an employe to as
sume the responsibility of an article
tnourrlng personal danger or legal lia
bility deserves to be kicked out of the

Tub Longest on Record.—.V Texas
paper gives an account of “ the long
est horse race on record,” which re
cently came off near Houston in that
State. Two ponies were entered for
the contest, viz: “ Red Lad ” and
“ Wild Bill,” the stakes being $30, the
agreement being that the ponies should
walk, trot or run, for twelve hours, the
one making the most miles at the
end of that time to be declared the
winner. At the completion of the fir.-t
ten miles, Hill wasone mile ahead, and
at the end of the thirtieth mile he was
two miles ahead. On the following
ten miles Red gained a mile. At this
stage of the race,so the accon nt goes, Hi 11
was rubbed down and drank a bottle of
sherry. The rest resulted In Jted go
ing to the front and he kept increasing
the daylight between him and his rival
until the forty-eighth mile was scored.
Hill threw up his tail at the end of the
forty-tlfili mile, and refused to budge.
The race was around a mile course.
Time, 5'A hours.
Tite Idaho Avalanche hits the nail
on the head when it say*: “ It is a
somewhat significant fact that the two
men who were the most conspicuous
participants in the recent amnesty de
bate in the House, viz: Blaine, of
Maine, and Hill, of Georgia, w ho made
graphic references to some of the hor
rors directly and indirectly attending
the conflict,were both non-combatants,
neither of them ever having come
within hailing distance of the men who
exposed themselves on either sido to
death or capture. The one was an ar
dent orator in Washington and the
other in Richmond. Hut now in a
House full of Federal and Confederate
Generals and soldiers these are the two
men who make the Chamber of Repre
sentatives an arena of pout mortem pug
nacity.”

A Sax Francisco illustrated paper
has in its last issue a capital burlesque
upon the futile efforts of Wilcox, Lame
and their followers, to impede the pro
gress of the press. In the cut is seen
a pressman running ofT a paper, and
the opposers of the free press are rep
resented as endeavoring to stop it, hut
the cylinder keeps on rolling and those
who would put a brake on it are being
drawn in with the forms. Wilcox is
seen flying thiough the air in small
pieces, and the other legislative jack
asses aro represented as in fearful pre

Just So.—The Jlevcille says “Gov
ernor Bradley is responsible for the
appointment of Hyman, and if the
latter has robbed the State a share of
the onus rests on the Governor.”
Just so. The Governor doubtless
realises that fact and for that reason has
been unremitting in his efforts to rectify
the error he made, by having the
Warden removed. To err is human,
but to rectify an error—is what Gov
ernor Bradley is trying to do.

KTEAUSUX.
The Virginia Chronicle of the 31st lilt,
relates tlie following tale of desolation
and sulferiug: Chief White was noti
fied this morning that an old lady had
been found in a house below China
town in a dying condition. In com
pany with a Chronicle reporter the
Chief immediately proceeded to inves
tigate the case. Arrived at the house,
lie found an old lady, named Mrs.
Kate Klsie, confined to Iter bed and
complaining of a terrible pain in her
arm. On examination it was discov
ered that her right shoulder was dislo
cated. Mite had had a pain in the
shoulder since Christmas, but bus been
confined to her lied only for the past
four days. 8he lay iu the bleak, deso
late room without a particle of furni
ture in it, the wind blowing in through
several broken panes and not a particle
of fire in the room. The worst feature
of the ease is that site has Imd no food
for the past three days and nights. She
has iieen a resilient of Virginia since
INK), and from information elicited by
Chief White, lias always borne herself
well and respectably. Site was burnt
out by the great tire, and was com
pelled to move into tlie house she at
present occupies to save herself from
freezing to death. She informed the
Chief that the owner of the house vis
ited Iter this morning and threatened
to eject her. Heing without friends or
relations on the coast, she asked Mr.
White lo inform the Odd Fellows and
Masons of her sad condition, her la'e
husband having been a member of
both orders. liefore (lie fire she had a
suit witli certain parties iu relation to
the possession of property on 11 street,
and her household goods were thrust
into the street. Chief White immedi
ately took steps to have her removed to
the County Hospital.
As an item of interest to the medical
fraternity, says the Virginia Chronicle,
who ire familiar witli the rhinoplustie
operation, we may cite the condition of
a Silver City man who, some time ago,
had his nose bitten ott in a rnugh-and
tumble encounter. Dr. Kirby being
called to attend the unfortunate, and
conceiving of nothing better with which
to mend the mutilated proboscis, at the
suggestion of the victim, cut of! the tip
end of a pointer dog's tail, and trans
planted it to the man’s face as tlie fin
ishing point to tile deformed nose. All
worked well in healing, and the man
lias a fine and natural-looking im-al
organ. Hut here is the dilficulty: The
moment the man now meets an old ac
quaintances the confounded nose starts
in and wiggles him oti' the sidewalk be
fore lie can shake hands. The unfor
tunate isn’t worth a curse for anything
but to “set” grouse.
J. C. Fairbank writes the Silver Stole
that two good men are wauled at the
Badger Ranch to feed and look afier
poor cattle. He says cattle are getting
(bin, and lie is now feeding 150 head in
corrals. A large portion of the stock
in this vicinity will perish, if not fed,
should the weather continue severe a
few weeks longer.
Tlie stock of the General Thomas, a
mine adjoining the Northern Belie, in
Ksiiieraldu county, in this Stale, lias
been put on the Board and is selling a!
$S. R is though! that this property ere
long will prove as valuable as its neigh
bor.
A body otore, the extent of which is
not yet known, lias been discovered in
tlie Rve Raich mine. Tile Silver Slate
learns from a reliable source that as
says from this new ore body run up to
$1,000 a ton in silver.

There is terrible excitement at East

llis supposed that Wilder was labor

induced by excessive excitement and
passion. The details of l lie t raged v
are most horrible. The father anil
mother were uged respectively 73 ami
70 years. The immediate cause of the
affair was an altereetion with his wife,
who, in altering a pair of overalls, hud
made them too short. After some an
gry words, Wilder started for a sited,
saying he would get an ax and end flic
trouble. His wife followed him and
seized the ax. wiien liedtow a dirk and
stabbed and left her for dead, and then
taking up the ax, started for his father,
who had followed him, anti struck hint
a fearful blow, crushing through his
head. At this point he appeared still
further infuriated, and next attacked
his mother, killing her with three fear
ful blows over the head. Leaving her
in the front floor, he returned to the
ailed and found that his fattier had
crawled into the kitchen, lie again
struck him as lie lay upon the floor,
the ax crushing through his head and
remaining fixed in the floor. He then
cut ilis throat, and tleafh not ensuing
at once, ran to the barn, and, fastening
a rope around his neck, jumped from
a beam breaking bis neck and causing
instant dentil. The fat her and mother
are both dead, but the wife, it is
thought, may recover.
