The late confsgraton in Richmond de-.
veloped curious incident and fact, which
may be valuable, il remembered. Some
week or ten days after the fire, the iron safe
of the Enquirer office was opened, when inn
mediatev on the admission of the air, the
books and papers were ignited and consum
ed. And such was the case of all other safes
which were not in brick vaults. In these
contents were uninjured The Enquirer safe
at the time it was reopened was cold exter.

The Allen county (Ohio) Democrat makes
the following quotation from a speech of
Rev Mr.. Motley, of Lima, the day after the
assassination:
Il had noticed by the papers of week or
ten days prior to the assassination, that Mr..
Lincoln was adopting and pursuing policy
that would eventually bring those scoundres
down South back, and give them again the
right of suffrage, and when heard of the
assassination. just thought to myself that
God, in his inscrutable Providence, had Ia.
ken him (Llncoln) off just about the right

"To be sure | shall burt you," said the doctor il

The tooth was firmly set to the Jaw and stuck like

In the present condition OF our hnances,
hardly any position in this State is more reSpon-
sible than that of Controller and il is fortunate
for the people that it is to be filled Tor the next
two years by such man as Thomas liilihouSe'
Gen. Uillhouse was born, we believe, in Albany,
but of good Connecticut ancestry. lie lived IN
Albany till lie reached mature years, managing
one Of the finest farms in the State, and
dcvoting much time to financial matters
under the guidance Of tia, veteran hnan'
cier. Thomas ". Ocott. Several years since
ne removed to Geneva, and in l-j9 he was
elected Senator from the Ontario District.
His record there in that terrible period, when
railroad grants and private swlndles ran rot IN
spite of the yetoes OF Gov. Morgan, was an un-
blemished one. Not only did he never vote for
any swindling claim, but lac never failed TO vote
against them. After the outbreak of the war,
| Gov. Morgan selected Gen. Hillhouse to fill the
responsible Office Of Adjutant-General. The
industry and ability which he brought TO the
performance of his new duties are known
to all. Few men ever worked more
hours in a day than did Gen. llillhouse
for the two years that he held
the Office. In January, 1858. Gen. llilhouse
returned to private life, and il was during that
winter that he wrote for The albany Erning
Journal several long and able articles on the
subject Of the Conscription act. These articles
appeared at time when the Democrats, under
the lead of Gov. Seymour. were doing their best
to make the war what they soon after declared
it to be, "a failure" The subject of draft
was new one, and the superficial decisions OF
Copperhead judges were giving some show of
truth to the claim Of The Argus and other
Democratic papers, that draft was unconStitu-
tional. Gen. IIillhouse examined this question
historically and legally, and showed, by abun-
dant quotations from the decisions of the courts
and the writings OF the fathers OF the Republic,
that they had not founded government with.
out giving it power to maintain itself. These
articles, which We're afterward published in a
pamphlet. were at once exhaustive and conclu-
siye and the service which he rendered by
their publication was more than once recog-
nized By the greatest men in the country.
Gen. Hilhouse will bring to the performance
of the duties of Controller a thorough knowl-
edge OF the history and resources OF the State,
untiring industry, unbending integrity, and
great financial and executive ability.

PURLlC CREDIT.

We are oil, whether consciously or otherwise,
holders Of the National Debt. The poorest
wash.woman who has a few hardly earned
dollars in Savings Bank is public creditor;
for the Savings Banks nearly or quite all have
invested their means in the National Debt; and,
whenever payment stops on this, they can no
longer pay their depositors. All over the land,
helpless infancy, tottcring age, thrlit and poV-
erty. have their means invested in National
Bonds. Let the Federal Treasury stop pay
ment and Famine would stalk in at the open
door of nearly ALL
How. then, can the North vote to let the
States lately in revolt into Congress on basis
which will fill both Houses with merely white
washed Rebels, who necessarily hate the Debt
and all its belongings Does any man in his
senses Jeliers that the Members from South
Carolina, Georgia, &c, as now being recon-
structed will tax their constituents to pay the
principal or interest Of debt incurred for their
'subjugation,' and which did its appointed
work so eifectuallyi We are not Judging nor
blaming them; We are asking that facts shall
be looked squarely in the face. The recon-
structed or whitewashed South, if admitted into
Congress on the anti-Negro basis now insisted
on, will not tax itself to pay the Ma
tional Debt; nay, it will repeal onerous taxes,
and thus drive the Government inevitably on
the rock of Reputation. If all those whom the
War liberated are to be politically yoiceless
in the States as reconstructed, leaving these
States to be represented in Congress by the
nominees of the late Rebel Army, then the pay
ment of the Debt becomes dubious-not because
the People are not willing to pay, but because
-Four Millions of them are utterly deprived OF
any vote, while those who hold that the War
was successfully waged for their subjugatlon
will not only vote their own numerical strength,
but vote in addition that of the Freedmen.
Haters of Reputation creditors of your
country be sure to vote the ticket which is
unequivocally, heartily, unanimously, in favor
of paying the National Debt according to con-
tract and to the uttermoSt farthng
