BIENNIAL LEGISLATURES.

Among other innovations introduced by Con-
stitution mongers is that of biennial Legisls-
lures. Ohio adopted this notable device of pet
ty economy for little while, but her People at
the late election had the good sense to adopt an
amendment of their Constitution restoring an
lual Legislatures. Lately, the Legislature of Ten
lessee, where this biennial rule prevails, found
necessary TO elect United States Senator to
succeed John Bell, whose term will not expire
till March, 1859. The State may be entirely
revolutionized in politics by that time, so as to
be in direct opposition to the Senator chosen
e;ohteen months in advance to represent her.
The exigencies of the political system cannot
always be provided for by biennial legislation.
In representative Democracy, the People ought
to have an opportunity every year to pronounce
their vii.
Is p@ Since the foregoing was written, we
bepA J-,u.ed that Ohio still clngs to the folly.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

The Democratic prints of Washington are ma
king great ado over the outrsges attending the
recent municipal election in Baltimore. This is
well enough in ITSELF perhaps; but with what
propriety does Washington cast stone at Balti-
moreT We could fill columns in quotations from
Washington journals, describing the outrages
OF Provides in this city. The States remarks upon
the doings in Baltimore as follows:
Every citizen who is proud of his nation,
and regards honor as the distinguishing char
acteristic of manhood, must confess himself
outraged, not only by the acts of the ruffian
clubs, but-by those acts which, ostensibly taken
to restrain them, were actually done to give the
city into their hands.
" The Governor and the eminent citizens
who conferred with him must feel that they
have been mesnly and contemptibly sold.' II
any evidence were needed to show the Balti
moresns the necessity of bold action to save the
city from utter ruin, they certainly have il
now"
Very good; bat shall Washington, which is
governed by Democratic officials, remain the
prey Of street rufians2 The same number o.
the States from which we quote reports fright
ful case of highway robbery on North Capitol
street, by three rowdies. The abe Washington
correspondent of the Tribune gives picture Of
Washington street life, calculated to put the
whole country to the blnsh. In returning from
church Sunday evening, the correspondent
heard the report of small arms in all directions
and it is well known that ruffians held undis
puted possession of part Of the city. Not Ions
since, colored man, in returning from church
was robbed of threedollar bill, and sho
through the cheek. The offenders are Otter
mere boys. They are not protested robbers
but rowdies. If the Democratic authorities o.
this city cannot put them down, the less tina

sion of capital Means are abundantly provi-
ded for their elevation and improvement No
preferment is withheld from them by law. Ev-
cry avenue to wealth, power, distinction, is open
to them. Thousands upon thousands are CON.
stantly passing from their ranks into the classes
of employers and capitalists.
This is the normal condition of the white
working People of the free States, who have 80
much reason, the New York Herald assumes,
to envy the superior condition of the Slaves of
the South
"But, what say you to the distresses the white
working people are now suffering 2" That they
are limited, both in extent and duration. Some
thousands of them are thrown out of employ
ment in our great cities; but what are the suffer
ings of these thousands, compared with the we'll
being of millions of working people throughout
the country? And their loss of employment is
but temporary. Suffering will be felt for a few
months but business will be restored, and the
demand for labor revive. The occurrence of
such crisis once in twenty years, prostrating
employers, and stripping of employment for a
few months few thousand working people, is
a mighty argument in favor of reducing the
whole mass of working men at once to the con-
dition of Slavery-thst is to a point of degra-
dation from which they can fall no lower

VAN buren, ON MONEY MATTERS.

John Van Buren,, of New York, recently
made speech upon the financial affairs of the
country. Mr.. Van Buren, is well known as one
in the country. We fear, however, that he does
not always cou6ne himself in his speeches to
facts and arguments. For instance, in his late
speech he said
"The Democratic party has been always a
debt.paying party. The Democratic policy has
always been, under both the National and State
Governments, to reduce expenditures TO pay
old debts, and to avoid contracting new ones.
Under Jefferson, the National debt was ex'in-
guished. Jackson paid off the National debt
Pierce reduced the National debt to such
condition, as you will see by his last message,
that there were enough funds in the hands of
the Government, with the accruing revenue
this year, to pay every dollar of the public debt
if it had been due, and all the parties holding it
at the present time would have received pay
ment at par. These three great Democratic
Observation-Disclosures, Jackson, and Pierce
discharged the National debt of the United
States Who ever heard of their political op-
ponents, by whatever name they NAV be called,
discharging q Government debt? The distinc
ton is marked between the parties"
The orator went on to argue that the Re-
publican party is a spendthrift party, and that
the nation is safe only while the Democrats are
in Office. To his alleged facts the Courier and
Enquirer replies:
"These statements are so much at variance
with history, that it may be well to refresh Mr..
Van Buren's memory with some references to
the facts bearing upon the financial periods re-
ferred to. And first in regard to the broad as
sertion that the Democratic party has been al
ways debt-paying party 1t will not be de-
MED that the Democratic party has ruled for
series of years in Arkansas, Mississippi, Mchi
gan, and Florida. The funded debts of those
States, at this moment, amount in round mum
bers to Sl3, 100000 principal, and, with accu
INFLATED interest, to over 100000 900; the tax
able property to nearly $4OO, 600 600, viz:

General Walker has, il is said issued an order
that no person shall recruit men urdsr his au-
thority for military service in Nicaragua. But
he states that he aoH repair to Nicaragua aoitb
such emigrGnts as n1Gy desire TO become peace
fal settlers! We trust that nobody will be de-
ceived by this statement. The General, fearing
the Intervention Of the Government, undoubted-
ly prefers to enter Central America under false
colors. He who believes j; is his intention to
become ga peaceful settler" of Nicaragua,
must have great faith in the veracity of the fill
buster.
1t is now reported that the Cabinet is waiting
to pronounce upon Governor Walker, of Kansas
When his defence arrives, it will be soon enough
to cashier him. 1t is clear that the Administra-
ton fears to take bold and manly course upon
the matter. If it supports the Governor, it will
offend the freeaters; if it reprimands him, the
Northern Democracy will be dissatisfied; and
so, the Administration is on the feuce.

The friends of Mr.. Chase have reason to be
proud of this victory. Two years ago, they
could hardly secure his nomination; this year,
he could not escape it. Two years ago, his en-
emies. said that the ticket carried him (; this
year, it is admitted that he carried the ticket.
The aggregate vote is unusually large for a
State election, coming first after Presidential
election, being, in round numbers, $4,000 to
$4,000. The aggregate vote of 1853 was

jority over all-this year, he lacks 1898 FIRE.
mont, last fall, fell short 1883. The Fillmore
vote, which in 1856 was $4,000, and last fall
% 900, has gone down this year to 10000, the
majority of the Fillmore men having gone over
to Payne, the Democratic candidate. The In
crease in Chase's vote of $4,000, since 1855, Is
owing chiefly to the accession Of nsturallzed
citizens and considerable portion OF Old
Wings, whose prejudices have been dlsarmed
by the wisdom Of his Administration.
1t is gratifying to reflect that this great sue
cess has been won by a man who has never con
cealed or mystifed his opinions on the question
of Slavery, who atands fairly and squarely On
the Republican platform, and represents, not a
conglomeration of contradictory elements, but a
welldefned Party, acting from clearly-defred
principles.

At the height Of the panic and run upon the
banks and bankers in Louisville, German
banker of that city, named John Smidt, found
that he had paid out all his money, and that he
was compelled to stop. Instead of writing
card for publication, he announced his suspen-
sion by q handful affixed to his open doors, in
which he said be had no money on hand, but
expected in day or two to make some collec-
lions, and that he would then resume payment
Accordingly, in day or two, another handful
appeared on his doors, announcing that he had
collected some $4,000, which be would pay to
those Of his creditors who should fist call on
him for it. This was soon paid out, aud the
first handful again displayed, aud in few days
be announced that he had collected some more
money, which he was ready TO pay on demand.
This manly and straightforward course had the
effect which was to have been anticipated. DIS
German fellow citizens, seeing that John SmIdt
vas in earnest about paying his debts, and was
not disposed to higgle for an extension, con-
Guided that he was man who ought to be sus-
Cained, and accordingly came forward and de-

1uced others to do the same thing. At the last
