Then with a bonod it cleared the carriage and mtde off at fall speed.

When, from any cause, a prudent man Rods himself financially embarrassed, be quickly examine the state of his affairs, ascertains Ms liabilities and resources, and ret reaches his expenditures, at least antil recovery is made certain.

This homely remedy has unfortunately fallen late disuse is both public and private life, and tbit is one of the erases of the present distress. The bard lessons of the past five years have failed to bring Congress to a realizing sense of its duty to the country. Politicians profess retrenchment and reform in their platforms and on the stamp, bnt when they are brought face to face with practical measures, to make good these professions, they either slink nwsy from tbe test or meet it witb miserable makeshifts wholly inadequate to tbe desired relief, and only ealoslated to. prolong tbe eiistiog misery. Both sides shrink from applying tbe knife, when in fact surgery offers the only hope of having tbe patient.

When we compare tbe eost of cany ing on the Government under tbe simple Ideas which ruled during the greater part of its existence, and, indeed, nntll the rings, shoddy, and corruption obtained ascendancy, tbe figures are astounding and almost beyond belief. According te tbe last report of the Seete tary of tbe Treasury, tbe total net ordi nary expenses of tbe United States for war, navy, Indian, andotvil lists, exclusive of tba public debt, interest, and pension, ware at follows: From tbe foundation of the Government to tbe 30th of June, i 8t; 1 82 years, aggregate (1,506,726,141.15. For the four years of civil war, from June, 1862, to June 30, 1866, including both fiscal years, the total was (3,530,020,581,64. For the ten years of Repnhlican rule 30, 1867, to June 30, 1876, the aggregate as 1 ,528, appears that in a time of profound starting long after the rebellion over, the Republicans holding ot the Government, expended than twenty two millions in above the total expended for years preceding the rebellion this startling fact may be found of the teirible prostration a filleted the whole country Tbe feckless extravagance At the Foot of Water and Church Streets.

His wife, whose maiden name was Nancy Brown, had, before marriage, emigrated witb her parents lrom Cape Cod, Mass. While living at Alexandria they had three children. The eldest, in 1818, wasnanted for his father. Abont 1825 Mr. Yocnm emigrated with bis wiles people hack to Cape Cod.

Here Nicodemus, the yonDger, had grown into manhood, and in the coorae of time became Captain of a whaling vessel, which cruised for jears in tbe North Pacific Ocean When on a homeward Toyage in the year 1841, off the southern coast of China, he rescued a disabled junk, containing, besides the sailors, five Chinese mandarins ot high rank. The helpless vessel was towed into the harbor of YuDgao, in the province Qoangtnng, where Capt. Yocnm and his American crew were loaded with presents. in due time the wbaleship returned to Cape Cod, where Capt. Yocnm fonnd that his wife was dead, leaving a two-year-old son named Jeremiah.

One year afterward Capt. Yocum sailed for the China Sea. Entering tbe month of the river Po-Kiang, messages were sent to Canton to the rescued mandarins of two years before, and the Yankee ship was permitted to go into the harbor. In retorn for his fathers kindness, Jeremiah was sent to tbe Royal Preparatory School at the above named city, and at the age of 17 entered the Imperial Col lege. Here eight year were spent learning the Chinese language.

After some time spent a teacher, be made an English translation ot so much of To ts'infj yith t'nng the, or Geography of the Empire, as relates to the province of Quaugtung. Last year he was made a Mandarin and was appointed an attache of the Chinese Embassy now visiting tii is con try. During the coining Winter it is his intention visit Alexandria and bant up the genealogy of his grandfather's family. Judge Thurman Truly Represents Lhe Democracy. The organs of tbe money power pretend to see griiss lnconsistency in the course of Judge Thurman, and represent his late speech as in utter contradiction of (lie lime-honored doctrines of the Democracy in favor of hard money.

But, in truth, Judge Thurman lias not changed in the least, lrom the days of Jackson and Benton, and is no doubt as absolutely in favor of hard money as he ever was bnt he is too wise a man and too sound a statesman to cling to an idle abstraction in the present condition of tilings, and thus permit the tools of tile money power to oppress and defraud the people. He knows that there can never be any resumption of specie basis until the enormous public debt is paid off, cut down, or repudiated and moreover, knows that John Sherman, Hayes, all the tools of bondholders are at work, and have been at work for twelve years past, simply and solely to increase the value of he bonds without any hope or indeed desire to get a specie basis. They bought the bonds for forty cents on the dollar, and their Congress has legislated for twelve years tikjuake their bonds good as gold, aud that is all they are after; though, of -course, it dwarfs all other kinds of properly. No man understands their little game better than Judge Thurman, and he therefore pnlls aside the mask and exposes their lying pratices, and demands that the hngger muggery of national banks shall cease, and Treasnry notes be issued directly, and the inteiest saved to the people. THniAINE ELECTION.

The Philadelphia Times concludes an nbla review of the Marne election as follows Tile lesson of Maine is a brief story to record. It is a Republican disaster that is levolutionary in its results. It does not recall the Democrats to power in that hitherto uufalteriog Republican State, but it places her antboiity in the custody ot a Democratic receiver to be held until the damaged assets of the Republican bankrupt can be properly disposed of li Is not a victory born of trust oi affection for any party. It is a defeat of Republicanism not because tbe people of Maine loved the Repnblioan Ca'sar less, but because they loved Rome more, and it is an admonition to all par tics that there must be a nobler rule In and Nation. It is a crushing blow to Blaine, the ablest and most lierolo ot all the Republican leaders of the country, for it makes him the undertaker of ail the troops of Republican leaders in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

It la theileatli-knelloi'RepnblicHnisui iu Ohio and Indiana tor 1878, and it writes tbe name of Andrew II. Dill in the next Gubernatorial commission of Pennsylvania ao plainly that ovcd Henry M. Hoyt will not blunder in readiug it." The oilier day a curious little incident occurred on the North British Railway, giving's st.i iking instance of the sagacity sometimes displayed by dog. Shortly before tbe arrival of the train leaving Edinburgh for Qneenaferry, a wise-look ing black and-tan collie dog came on to the platform, where it stood for some time, during which a West going train stopped and took up pasaengers, until Dallir and the mui rounding coumie. eil with such scandals, aod just now a J'OTiCE.

J. H. WILLIAMSON, Committee of one. member ol the imperial family ol Russia, who was in high command recently, is openly charged with having trafficked on the suffering of his own troops. After the close of the rebellion the Republicans nearly doubled the regular standing army, and by a variety of de vices they have managed to maintain it on a most costly footing from that dny to this, without the color of any real or honest necessity.

Starting with 1868, and allowing three years of margin to close np tbe accounts of tbe rebellion, tbe army cost in the last teo years, and tbe navy for the same time cost (218,117,043.42, or more than a third of the entire public debt for these two braoobea of the general service. In the present condition of lie country these burdens cannot be endured and they are only parts of a system which Is alike in all its features. The people will not calmly bear luxation for such objects merely to snppoit Lous ands of idle officers aud idle ships and commands. They have submitted to imposition long enough, niul the time has come when every candidate for (on giees should be ligiilly questioned, so that tbe reform which has been so long needed will come after the next election, if not at the next session.

We hope that die distinguished gem Ionian will not confine his efforts in tl.n line of female education fn the people of Livingston, nor of Sumter county, but rlmt lie will extend his facilities for taking boarders, and work for Alabama. Cerirtily we could not wish a fairer chance for any mans danghter, nor oae that would, all through her life, conduce more iininteri uptedly to her happiness than to wish that she might pass tbe toi mailve pciiod of her life under the kindly caie of Dr. Smith.
