Our Fair was grand success. Total

SIS 100000 more. 1t is credit to the

The Public Debt

Auo OoDt
According to the official statement Of Sec>
retary Chase. given in our last issue, the
public debt at this time is precisely $1.7l9,>
395, 16S.98. or in round numbers little over
Seventeen Hundred Millions Cut the figure
out and paste it in your hat, or in some other
way keep it handy for reference It will ems
able you to correct the favoritc Copperhead
falSchood that it is amuch larger sum, some
times stated as high as four thousand mills
lions. Remember the precise figure, and
then, large as it's, recolIect that it is less
than half the public debt of Great Britain.
The comparison should be carefully borne in
mind. 1t will be an admirable corrective Of
mistaken ideas on this point.
We are a young and growing nation. The
Increase Of our national wealth, as shown bv
the last Census Reports, was. from 184O to
1850. "a per cent. or from s3.7G4, 10000 to
Sc, ia, 900, 900; and from 1850 to 1860, 1877
per cent. or up to $141e3, 100000 Mark
this The sum we owe is only 13 per cent
|of property Of the country, ratio that will
steadily diminish in each year of peaceful
national existence, under the restored Union.
1t is quite different with the business liabili-
ties of TIE young and prosperous firm, and
the debts of and old house whose prosperity
has eliminated. Meet any croaker on the
crises. who exaggeratcs or gives undue weight
TO the actual figures ofthe war debt with this
view OF the case and face him down with the
facts as they are z.:~ --.s
We might 20 further and deny all right to the
truly patriotic. OF counting the cost in saving
this nation. Economy in public expenditure
is one thing, but no Withholding of finances or
of credit should peril the cause. Do you dis.
miss your family physician when his patient
has long hung between life and death. and
because, on the whole, you cannot afford his
visits? Do You sit sbivering in rnidwinter
over your boards, frightened BY the price Of
fuel! When you, do your ne;ehbors will
call you miserly, and pity your households.
And when you reproduce the same folly in
your views Of the present war expenditures.
We fear you are to be called by meaner
term even Copperhead.
"But posterity will have all this to paw
True, but there are other payments that can,
moi 50 conveniently be postponed for poster
'ty. Witness the blood that is being poured
out to save the nation. The hearts that are
yielding up their best treasures to soldier
graves the lost fathers, brothers and sons !
the MANNED and crippled heroes that come
home to Us. None Of these will befal pos
teTitv. And though these we shall ssve the
nation in this. our day.
Our descendants will fnd only old battle
fields sown with rnsted iron, -oid lines Of for
tiications long silent, with rabbits burrow-
ing il the rampant, and the partridge leading
her brood through The hall f-obiiterated trench.
And the scars n sor hsms will have been

Louisiana Rebel shinplaster.

kAVu1o6VaO ASCOC4 Sna0 R6SoSSlA
Beside slavery there is another
matter Of much interest to como be-
fore the Louisiana State Convention.
the delegates to which were elected
on Monday last. The II. D. Ere,
says
1t is we'll known that the rebel
State Government ofLouisiana issnc,i
several millions OF dollars of shin
plasters. payable six months after a !,
ratification of peace between the
United tates and the Confederate
States. 1t is easy to argue that such
IL treaty will never be made, and hence
the notes will never become due. On
the other side, if it is admitted that
Louisiana has always been State
since her admission into tho Union,
it will be argued that having issued
the notes end parted with them, sha
has got value received fox them, and
is in dnty bound to pay them. \
more potcn. argument, however, will
bta argHmcat>.m al hom :num ofthis
kind. \ party has one hundred
thousand dollars OF these notes. They
are worthless. He approaches leg
iSla.or and offiers him fifty thousand
dollars OF them to vote Tor bill re-
quiring the State to recognize and
pay them. If.nough votes can be
so bought to carry the M .asure each
makes $4,000. az ilsc oAros.so Of tn"
geo lie, for they Will have to be paid
by the people, fiat all. This ques-
ton may not come before the corrrn-
ton in his shape. The great dan
ger probably lies ia the future. Tho
possession Of three or four millions
Of Confederate Louisiana paper may
turn the scale in future election. 1t
viii DC the duty OF tho convention tn
guard against such mn event by
making q constitutional provision

Impotence, laid hold OF him, stripped
him to the waist, and instead of tar,
covered him with molasses, and for
feathers took the tiowny tops of flags,
which grow in the meadows, and
covered him well, and then let him
