A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript gives the following sketch
es of our two sister cities:
"The city of CLEAvELAND is situated
on the southern shore of Lake Erie,
about midway from Buffalo to Toledo,
and contains 1000 inhabitants. The
river Cuiahoga enters the lake at this
place, and dlscolors its pure waters for
II considerable distance out, MS all the
rivers do that empty themselves into
the Erie, Ontario. or the st. Lawrence.
The waters of this great chain of lakes
are so clear and transparent that the
water from any other streams looks
dark and turbid when mingled with
them. Cleaveland is situated on quite
an elevation OF land for this part of the
country, and commands very beaut
(ul view of the lake. There is no hill
or mountain which have yet seen on
this route, from the summit of which
any great extent of country can be
seen. AS We pass along near the
shore of the lake, the land is one contin'
ned level, and covered with iores; trees
of large growth, which are now in
full leaf, and look green and beautiful,

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1876.

01rThe federal Legislature has now been in
session about five weeks, and in the name of
common sense what good has it done for the
country? None! monet That assembly of long
ears aud thick skulls has made itself the laugh
ing stock Of every person whose brains are not
furnished by some banking corporation. Mr..
Belts, the legal and qualified Representative
from Morgan county hasbeon expelled from his
seat, to make room for federal coon, because
the latter got the vote of two townships of Athens
county! The sacred contract between the State
and Samuel Mcdary has been violated, for no
other reason under the heavens, but that Col
Medary is a democrat! And notwithstanding the
federal parry for the pas, few years have made
terrible outcry in regard to the prices paid Me

M. Patton, who was employer to assist the AT.
torney General, by the Governor of Virginia, on
the part of the prosecution, opened the case
and was followed by Mr.. Vinton, of Ohio, who
took the broad ground that Virginia never had
any claim 10 the Northwest terrtory-tha, her
territory was limited by the ridge of the Allepbo-
ny mountains, and that she had not then, or now
any jurisdiction on the Ohio River. He wa re-
piled to by the Attorney General, who took two
daysto deliver his argument. The Judges, Is
IN number, held the case under consideration d
days, and we're nearly equally diwded-seven
for finding the prisoners guilty of the crime char

By this table, it will be seen that the "new
books show an increase of the public debt durlngI
the late administration of SlO,363,7l7 S4.-I
That debt, as it existed when the wings came
into power, consisted of $32G,96S 25 Of the ba-
lance Of old debts, mostly revolutionary and un-
claimed; SI ,440,0O0 Of the debts Of Washing, ,on,
Georgetown, and Alexandria, assumed by Con.
gress during General Jackson's administration :;
and S5,6SO,S3l 40 contracted under Mr.. Van
Buren's-~ growing out of the Florida war, and
fulfilling Of Indian treaties.
Hence it will be seen that the whig "new
books show we have a national debt of about
EIGHTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, mole than TEN
MILLIONS of which constitute one of the lcgacies
ofthe late whig administration. Wing promises
of rerenchment and economy end in millions of
public debt This is the manner in which the
democracy predicted they would fulfil their
boastful undertakings. They proposed, during
the previous campaign, to reduce our annual ex-
penditures to thirteen millions of dollars, and re-
lieve us from all debt and unnecessary taxation.
But MIR. Webster's "new books show that they
increased our expenses and our taxes by the I'M
equal and unjust tariff of 1872 and have left the
people to struggle with heavy national debt
We are happy now to be able TO state that the
present administration has already paid out about
one million and quarter Of the principal and in
terest of this whg deut, and that it is fully pre-
pared to pay every dollar as it shall fall DUE
While the most rigid economy is practlsed, and
the greatoat possible vigilance is used to protect
the treasury from fraud, the officers of the Trea

an honest, and efficient, and economical demo
cratic administration, public creditors will be
promptly paid, and the whig ''new books" baIan-
ced 1t will be long, we trust, before the intelIi-
gent people of this country will permit the wings
to open another set of"new books" on which to
charge them with other millions ofwhg debt.

the whole. This bill prohibits all persons and
corporations from bringing the notes Of foreign
banks into this state for circulation, except in
The case of persons bringing such notes into the
state for the express purpose of paying them
out 1t also prohibits hanks, &c, from paying
out the notes of foreign banks of less denoml-

Mr.. Olds moved to strike out all after the en-
acting clause, and insert the following:
That no banking company, doing business in
this state, shall be permitted to pay out at Its
counter, or in any manner put IN circulation the
notes or issues of any banking institution doing
business either in or out of this state, other than
the notes or issues of its own bank.

During the campaign of 1910, Mr.. Daniel

If his plrty came into power, set of new books
would be opened in the Departments al Washing
ton, and HAT confusion and extravaganza would
give place to regularity and economy. We have
taken some pains to examine the old democratic,
and the new whig books, and can now speak of
the evidence they afford oFthe fulflment of whg
promises. The following table is compiled from
The records of the Treasury Department, and can
