The HERALD MOVEMENT TO PAY OFF THE Ma
TIoNAL DEBT-JoHN BULL BEwnDERED.-We
publish to-day remarkable editorial from the
London Standard, embodying an extract from
the Toronto Globe, in reference to the PROPOSE
ton of the New YORK HERALD for the payment,
by voluntary subscriptions, of our national
debt of three thousand millions of dollars, in
Cured in the suppression of the late great
Southern rebellion. Our Canadian cotempo-
rary, it will be perceived, believes that this
thing can be done; but the London Standard
philosopher is 80 bewildcred at the bare stale
ment of the proposition that he hardly knows
what to do with it. After what has happened,
however, in the complete extinguishment of
the supposed invincible Southern conlederacy,
John Bull inclines to the opinion that with the
universal and irrepressible Yankee nation
nothing is impossible. All his catalogue of
disasters of dcmoralzations, of political, fnan-
cial and social disorders which were surely des-
tined to end in the ruin Of the United States,
and in the triumphant establishment of great
overshadowing Southern confederacy, have oil
been scattered to the winds. The glorious victo-
ries of JED. Davis the crushing reverscs of tho
armies Of the Unior the impending collapse of
our national finances; the exhaustion of the
loyal States; the scenes Of violence and insur-
rection that were to come upon us, spreading a
reign of terror from New York to California,
have all collapsed with the great South Sea, or
rather South Carolina, bubble of King Cotton
and his slaveholding and slavetrading Southern
confederacy. John Bull is at last forced to
confess that our popular institutions are equal
to any emergency, and that "the great rcpub.
lie" is indeed Power among the nations OF
the earth.

TIE BLAIR FAMILY Down UPON THE CABINET
IN Full. BLAsr.-The active and irrepressible
Blair family have broken out in fresh place,
or rather in two or three fresh places. Hon.
Montgomery Blair, late Postmaster General,
who had to leave when his time had come"
has no notion Of giving up his purpose Of get
ting back into the Cabinet He has lately
been getting of regular set speech at Hagers-
town, Nd, against Mr.. Secretary Seward and
his mysterious Mexican policy. This Mr..
Blair thinks that Mr. Seward is playing for the
surrender of Mexico to Louis Napoleon, body
and soul, and opens vigorous campaign
against him upon this issue. Meantime General
F. P. Plair, Jr., in flank movement, away of
in Kentucky, has commenced vigorous attack
upon Secretary Stanton and Chief Justice
Chase. What the old man Blair is doing in
conjunction with these movements we have
not learned; but we guess that he is not sleep
ing upon his oars. The Chicago political firm
OF Belmont, Barlow 4 Co. could probably
give us some valuable information on this mat
ter; but they eight shy;" while the poets Of
the EUeninq Post from the zeal with which
they support the attack of Montgomery Blair
upon Mr.. Seward, evidently have a finger in
the Cabinet pie which the parties concerned
propose 10 divide among themselves. The
combination is active and extensive, and may
be sufficiently powerful TO demand the imme'
date attention of Captain Forney. As for the
danger of a surrender Of Mexico 10 Louis Ma
poleon by Mr. Seward, IL is all myth. Presi
dent johnson Is master Of the situation. Hi
Mexican platform is the Monroe doctrine. he
intends 10 make II good. He Is hiding bis time
Mexico will not be abaldoueo.

motto "Shentpershent" The Signor Mantilini
Marbleu has entire charge Of the arrange
ment, under Messrs. Belmont and Barlow's su-
pervision.
The Tammany Hall democracy already have
Q club to regulate their internal Affairs and
dictate their policy and their candidates. This
club is called the Americus, and it, President
is the Hon. VIM. M. Tweed, Deputy Street Com
missioner, Chairman of the Tammany General
Committee, Chairman Of the Board of Super
visors, member of the Volunteering Committee,
member of the Riot Claims Committee, mem
Der of the Family Aid Committee, member Of
the New Court House Committee, joint owner
Of the Nonscript, associate in the Aldermauic
"ring," associate in the Harlem bridge con-
Germ, associate in the Battery enlargement job,
manager of the Judiciary, manager Of street
contracts, lessee of temporary Court House
buildings, side-psrtner in the Assessment Bu-
reau, and standing candidate for the State
Senate. This club is in very fourishing con-
dition, and every politician connected with it
Is very prosperous. IT has country club
house on Long Island Sound, and feet Of
twenty or thirty small yachts. A photograph
of the club house, with President Tweed stand
ing on the balcony and looking at the yachts
as If he owned them all, is one Of the works Of
art most priced by city politicians and conspi-
cuously exhibited in barrooms. The glory
which has departed from Tammany proper now
rests upon the Americas Club. Its members
take the very best care of themselves and each
other. They pay an entrance fee of about one
hundred and fifty dollars, and five dollars q
month in dues. During the summer they
rusticate at the luxurious club house, drink
for the fall elections; and in winter
the club headquarters are transferred to the
Cosmo, at the corner of Broadway and Ninth
street. Nearly every member of the Americas
is an oficeholder; for. to hold Office under the
Tammany democracy, it is necessary to join the
Americas Club. The influence of the Street
Department, and of the various other positions
which he holds, enables President Tweed to
provide for his followers, and to put down
those who do not believe in the club system of
management. Doubtless the power and the
success of the Americas suggested to Belmont
and Barlow the idea of their "Shent-per-shent"
Association, just as tho success of the Loyal
Leaguers induced the poet Bryant to Start a
Free Trade club among the republicans. "The
sprig of Tammania" grows SO finely on the
Americas grounds that the shoddyites have be-
come envious Of it's fruits. Let Governor Fem
ton muster up pluck enough to cut it down by
removing the Mayor and the heads of depart
ments in this city, and the republican clubs will
have everything their own way; for the Siguor
Mantlini Marblcu will be sure to upset the ket-
ties, smash the crockery and get the "Shent-
persistent" Club in hot water in very little
while.

tempts to refute the statements Of General
Sherman in reference to the burning Of Colum-

ought to be citizen of the United States.
hold that thi, government was made up
on white basis by white men for the bene

and should be administered by white men

the Almighty made the Negro capable of
self-government. Nov l gay 20 you nv
fello~-ci,zen., that in my opinion, the
singers Of the Declaration Of Independence
had no reference to the Negro whateve
when they declared all men created equal.
They designed to express by that phrase,
white men, men of European birth, and
European descent, and bad no reference
to the Negro, the savage Indians, or 9th.
or inferior O, degraded races. At that
time every one Of the thirteen colonies
was a slave holding colony, and every
slgner OF the Declaration represented a
slave holding constituency, and we know
that no one Of them emancipated bis
slaves, much less offered citizenship to
them when they signed the Declaration.

What the War has Cost.

No one has ever attempted to arranpe
An aggregate of the entire losses in lie
and money during the late war. In fact
the undertaking is one of no small diff.
Guilty, as, in majority of cases, the esti
mates must be approximative. There is
an enormous amount Of destruction, for
which we have the figures for only a very
small portion. We know the amount OF
the public debt, and with a tolerable de-
gree Of certainty the number Of men who
have been killed. Beyond this all is sub.
ject only to conjecture and yet, outside
Of the public debt and the killed, lies the
larger share of what the war has cost us
A careful statistician at WASHINGTON
thus sums up the losses of the south in this
matter OF capital:
"Ihey have lost in slave property 81
100000 900; also FIVE crops of cotton and
rice, s1.0OO,0e0,00 banking capital,
$76,OOO,OOO railroads, in stock and de
.truction, 1914, 100000; tobacco, grain,
stock. DC, 100000. OOo-so tina. their
entire loss Of actual capital is So 100000.
600, larger sum than the entire federal
debt. Add to this their outstanding in
debtedness, to remain forever unpaid. Of
50, 600, 900, 600, and We see an entire loss
and Indebtedness Of Sc, SEQ, 900 900 of the
confederate states, to say nothing of the
less Of human life
The losses sustained BY The south are
equally the losses sustained by the whole
country. When TO them is added the loss
es by the north, the aggregate assumes a
frightful magnitude.

Hanging at Waukegan,

A man named William Bell was execu-

der Of a woman by the name of Ruth Bri-
den. The spectacle is said to have been
horribly ban barous and disgusting through
out. The man denied his guilt to his
lates, breath. In speech on the gall
lows, among other things, he said ::
Gentleman stand before you for the
last time TO address you. You are called
upon TO witness scene never before wit
messed in this county, and that hope and
pray God you may never witness again.
In few minutes more you are called up
on TO see mans soul and body sepera,-

joined together let no man put asunder,"
and, gentleman, what is more systematic
cally joined together than a mans soul
and body? an to be hung by the neck
until dead for the murder Of Mrs. Ruth
Briden; but, gentleman, am not the
murderer. 1t is matter of Importance
a matter Of serious consideration. All
gentlemen, that can realize, is this;
am to be hung for being tenant of Mrs.
Ruth Brlden. The circumstances ak
point, they say, to me, and Bell must be
the murderer, because be was a tenant and
a poor man living Oh Mrs. Briden's place
Gentleman, what are those circumstances I?
Why, the daughter saws that in the sum-

She said she was not so hard up as to

But thsy say that circumstances roints to
