A Bankrupt Treasury.

Nothing could be more humilisting to
community like the people Of Ohio, than
the fact that their State Exchequer has not
got one dolIor in its vaults. The people pay
their taxes promptly, Notwithstanding the
immense amount of money that is drawn
from them Tor public dues, but still through
the prodlgality of their public agents, the
Treasury is bankrupt! The Legislature
was we'll aware OF this fact before it ad.
iourned, and yet while it was busy in max
ing appropriations to be paid out OF, it took
no steps TO replenish the Treasury. Such
conduct would be regarded as immoral and
dishonest, in the every day affairs of life,
and should not be resorted TO by the law.
making power of State, under sny circum.
stances. The Republican legislature which
has just adjourned did not seem to be in the
least concerned at the condition OF the
Treasury, but went on appropriating money
to be psid out OF ii, as though the vaults
were full. We are now in the nth year
since the Republicans obtained the control
of the State Treasury Of the great state 81
Ohio has not to day one dollar with which
to discharge the current expenses OF the
State Government. What humiliatlng

Retrenchment and Reform.

During the campaign last fall the watch
word of the Republicans. in every part Of
the State, was " "Retrenchment and Reform"
They asked the people to place the leeisls.
ton of the State in their hands, and that the
happiest results would follow. They prom
ised that there should be no adjourned ses.
sion that the taxes Of the people should be
reduced the public burdens lightened all
the leaks in the treasury stopped and all
useless Offices abolished, and the public ex.
penditures retrenched. Promises like these
were made by every stump politician from
Governor Chase down to Corwin who took
care Of the baggage. The Republican press
rang with pledges of "Retrsnchment and Re
FORM" and the people did return decided
majority Of Republicans to both branches of
the legislature. That body met on the I'd
of January and adjourned on the 26th Of
March, to meet Ogain on the fret Monday Of
January next. The members are now each
and all Of them again moving among their
constituents. What sort of an account can
they render in view of their pledges ! Have
they fulfilled them Not one. Never were
any people so grossly deceived, cheated and
defrauded as the people of Ohio have been
by this Republican Legislature. Not sin.
gle promise has been fulfilled. Men who
pledged to the people "Retrenchment and
Reform" when seeking their votes, scofFed
at the mention Of anything of the sort when
In the Legislature, and even declared that
the thing was bald humbug-that it was
impossible to introduce any retrenchment
into the Public Expenditures, or reform any
of the existing abuses. The people who
have been deceived and their interests Who'll.
ly neglected, should demand from their ser.
wants strict account. They should know
why the Public Burdens have not beer
lightened why appropriations were made
for large sums beyond the amount that will
be derived from revenue from all sources
why the Taxes were increased why al
promises have been violated ! And the an
swer from these faithless representatives
should be carefully scanned by the people
and If not sufficient and satisfactory, the
members should be consigned to the con.
demnation appropriate to such conduct
Who can doubt the fsithlessness of the Re
publican party after the conduct of the late
General Assembly

james Ktrke PauIdiNg

The grand old Romans-the truest rep
resentatives of the genius OF American
institutons-are gradually passing away
In the death of james K. Paulding the
country has lost one of it's truest and mob lest
patriots. Prehaps no finer sample of the
cultivated, refined and intellectual American
Democrat ever lived than James K. Paul
ding. Ushered into life during the birth.
day struggles Of America liberty, he always
entertained q lively aud patriotic pride Of
feeling in all that related to the honor and
integrity of his country. Mr.. PouIding's
mind was never warped by the anti Ameri-
can influences of British literature. He
retained TO the very last, his integrity as q
steady Democrat of the revolutionary era,
and perhaps was almost the only literary
man OF the North who had never been the
victim Of anti slavery Influences. He pub.
lished in 1886 defence of "Slavery IN the
Uni.ed States," and has never for a moment
ceased bis utter hostility to all the aims and
projects Of the anti slaveryites. His mis-
cellaneous writings are more truly Amer.
can than those OF any other literary man in
this country. They are all pervaded by the
most patriotic sentiments, and the warmest
devotion to the land of hia birth. Hence,
though aboundng in the keenest wit and
distinguished for the most agreeable style,
they have not had great popularity abroad,
and not as much, even in this country, as
they are entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Mr.. Paulding retained, even to the period
of his death, a warm interest in political
affairs. His name and memory will even
be held in most grateful remembrance, and
as the future shall reveal more clearly the
work of such men, and as public opinion
shall become more permeated with a true
American feeling, his works will become
more and more popular, and he will assume
the position which he will worthily fill, of
being the best representative of true
American literature, that the country has
even produced d.-Pittsburg Post.

Pacific Railroad.

1t is only question Of time whether Gov.
ernment will aid this great work. 1t is o
necessity, and public sentiment will demand
it. No one now proposes that the Federal
Government shall undertake to construct
and manage such a work. Such ideas are
obsolete; but it is necessary that the Gov
erhment, for the use of its departments
should have some control of it. II a road
were built now by private enterprise, the
Government would be compelled to pay in
terest on the entire cost, in order to get the
mails carried and other services performed
1t is, therefore,, matter Of economy to have
contract beforehand, which will compel
the service at some reasonable rate.

How they Hate and Fear Him.

So says the Nashville Patriot, (Amsri.

Douglas. The Patriot is for Bell, Of Ten
nessee, for President but It cannot be blind
to the fact that Douglas 10 the lion In the
way OF the Republicans, who want to secure
the National spOils. They fear no other
candidate. They know that Douglas can
command more votes, and has a stronger
hold on the hearts of the people than any
Democrat who has been named for the
Presidency. They, therefore, want him out
of the way. The Patriot thus speaks Of the
fears betrayed by the Republicans
"Whatever may be said of the merits Of
Judge Douglas, il is manifest that the Re.
publicans regard him as the most dangerous
candidate the Democracy can place in the
field for the Presidency. There is not d

constant and nnAagging efforts to kill him
off by underratiRg him. His canvass in II
linois sgainst the combined opposition of the
Administration, with all it's patronage and

the masses. That canvass, we are constrain-

The Result in connecticut

The Republicans are i'll at ease at the
result in Connecticut. The vote is virtually
against Repubiicanism, and the effect both
within and without State, has been morally
and politically, that Of decided Democratic
victory. The gallant Democrats OF Connecti
cut, indeed, go far from feeling chagrin at
defeat, are everywhere jubiIaut and full of
courage. The encounter has aroused all
their energies, and they are actively and
zeolously preparing for final and more
energetic effort to redeem the State from
the disgrace of Abolition sectionaism.-
The Hartford Times of Wednesday has the
folowing:-
BOOSTING LOWER AND LowER.-Four
years ago the Democrats had over 1000
majority against them in Connecticut.
Two years ago, they had about 5000
against them.
Last year the Abolition figures were cut
down to 1870.
This year Con poll o! sc, 600 votes y they
are reduced to 500.
They are now roosting on the lowest
