i Few More Neras Ahont over nBd his Effort
A az Starting Paper. M 80


Over seems to be firm believer in the Satanic
maxim that "a lie well stuck to is as good as the
tr1th.n In some quarters where the matter Ii not
known he is trying to excite pitiful sympathy for
himself, and hostility towardus, by stin repeating
the silly falsehoodabout his being scompeed to sell
out Why, the ink of his name, signed to the con-
tact BY which he sold to US the fixtures, GOOD.
wTId,H &C., ofthe ISQUIRER, was not dry before he
on the streets boastng of his bargain. He would
have taken, he said twenty-five hundred dollars rath
er than not have sold out He had offered his paper,
a. we have already stated. few months before the
time Of sale to us, for two thousand dollars. He
professed great indignation because an attempt was
made to influence him to sell to us for the same
price at which be had thus offered it. He has re-
peatedly said that he would have sold to us for twen
tyfve hundred dollars if Others had not endeavored
to influence him in the matter So the only "com-
peiing, according to his own true statement, made
at the time of the transactions was to "comper' as
to give him five hundred dollars more than he would
otherwise have taken. As for the twin statement
about our "holdng the lash over him. - and threatens
ing TO start an opposition paper thereis not the least
foundation for it far as we are concerned Tt is
an absolute untruth. We were, as we have said,
from first to last against the scheme of starting anoth
er paper in Bedford. We didnot think itwould pay.
We thought it would have tendency to divide the
party. We were averse to undertaking an enter
prise, that could succeed only, if it succeeded at
all, by crushing out Mr. Over and his Inquirer.
These reasons gave to all. Over, it will be
borne in mind, offered his paper to us for three
thousand dollars, before others had said word
about starting another paper and would have ta
ken twenty-five hundred, as he has repeatedly said,
if the LASH as he calls it, had not been held
over him, We reppblish the article on this sub
ject on the fourth page, that we gave last week.

A TOUCHING SCENE IN A COURr ROOM

Great Britain's Public Debt Compare,
with Ours.

Great Britain's Public Debt Compared
with Ours.
we nave become so accustomed to seeing
large figures within the last two years, that
they have almost lost their power to create
IN mems minds the corresponding ideas.-
In order to give US the full appreciation OF
their meaning, it has become necessary to
look at them in relative manner, and com.
pare them with numbers which were before
regarded as large.
In order for us to fully appreciate the
amount Of our public debt, we must com.
pare it with that Of Great Britain, which is
we'll known to be the largest debt in the
world. We propose to show that, relative
ly, our public debt is much the larger. A
large debt for rich nation to pay may not
be so much as small debt for poor nation
to pay. Then let us see how We compare
with England in wealth and public debt.
The British national debt was, on the
3lst March last, 99,so2.l3O pounds ster-
ling, or reckoning five dollars to the pound,
it was ,s99,O1O,6O5. The interest on
that debt, which is per cent is $119,.
970,320. BY official returns, the entire
wealth and valuation of the nation was, Oh
the 9th day of April, 1861, $31, 800, ,OOO,,
ooo. Therefore, the yearly interest is at
the rate of one dollar for 1862 SO of the
valuation.
By the census of 1860, the entire wealth
and valuation Of the U. s. and territories,
was $l6,6l6,O6S,O 900 (including 1000, 900
Of slaves at Southern valuatiol,) Our
public debt, besides our States municipal
debts and other liabilities, as we have be-
fore shown in these columns, will on the
4th Of March next be more than $685.
427, 1O1, and it is all to be funded, and
draw an interest of six per cent. in gold,
which is $l59, ,626. Therefore, the
yearly interest payable in gold is at the rate
of one dollar for $1O1 so of the valuation,
which is more than two and a half times
larger than the debt of Great Britain.
With gold at 25O, payable in United
States currency, the rate Of interest will
make our debt relatively more than six and
quarter times larger than that of Great
Britain and that, too, as compared with
the resources and valuation of the United
States IN 1860. as it then was, and as it is
now.-N Y. World.

Be that fond heart for aye a. light
As now-thou radiant girlish bride,
Oh, sparkle well those gems tonight.
Whose lustre won him to thy side.
Not gewgaws from the sheeny mine,
But brilliant pearls of worth as rare,
More dazzling in those eyes Of thine
Than all the diamonds in thy hair.
Shine on, gay star, but be thou true,
While prostrate hearts are at thy feet,
As planets in the heavenward blue,
That all admire, but none may greet
Guard well that silver sounding tongue
That ravishes their inmost cells,
As though the answering caverns rung
The music Of thy wedding bells.
A single word or look bestow'd
With guilty thoughts that make them deeds,
Where pure affection nothing owed,
Might robe thee in the widows weeds;
For there are hearts can only thrill
But once to love; if that forsake.
Upbraiding not, but faithful still,
Their only vengeance is to break.

The face, the form, the voice we know,

No voice can find us-in the grave.
