The Beurganani- Eaton EIopemeut Case.
The New York Tribune of yesterday SAYS:
THE recent remarkable elopemest OF an
Italian adyenturer (who seven years ago
welded the widow Of Gen. Eaton1 with the
grand daughter of his wife. has created A SEN
sation in political and fashionable circles, both

wife, who al one time may have been said TO.

least 70 have been The chief cause OF Change
in some OF its most important political rela-
lions. The Tribune gives a resume, at some
length, OF the leading facts in the biography Of
the party in this singular case with whom the
public naturally are most concerned, namely,
Madame Bourganali, formerly widely known
as Mrs. Gen. Eaton, and concludes as follows:
"a more heartiess, dastardly case of compli-
Gated crime has seldom been recorded. Since
the departure Of the chief actor in this strange
tragedy, various new facts have been brought
TO light Ii has been asceitained that Bour-
gananf, though according 10 his statement
'alone in the world" has two bro,hers resid-
ing in this city or vicinity, one OF whom is a
man OF some means. The existence of these
relatives has been successfully concealed from
his wife and adopted family for q period OF
seven years, and has only been discovered by

bis farewell letter 10 his be nefactress and WIFE,
ne states thst he has made provision for her
maintenance. Such provision is Of the most
dubious character, the s2e per week promised
being altogether in the power OF some myste-
rlous confederate, who can, at any time, refuse
TO advance the money. The letter also states

The Dangers of Radicalism.

Mr.. Doolittle, in his speech at New Haven,
Conn.,, said that Gen. Grant told him that uni
versal negro suffrage in the South, if forced up
on an unwilling people, would result in war OF
determination. Men must be strangely blinded
by passion and prejudice who cannot see that
the effect of this policy would be, to say the
least, to engender bitter antagonism between
those who have been heretofore the ruling class,
and their late slaves 1t would be most peril
Gus experiment, which nothing but standing
army that, of itself, would overshadow and ulti-
matey destroy the public liberties, could sue
cessfully inaugurate. Are the rulers Of ''the
nation prepared to leopard so much for a party
crotchet, or an empty boon? We know that
Mr. Sumner and Mr. Greeley allege that this is
the only means whereby the blacks can protect
themselves against the encroachments of the
whites. But this is sheer nonsense The wants
of the country and the demand for labor will be
a sufficient protection to the laboring classes of
whatever shade or color they may be, and these,
if all mischievous agencies be withdrawn, will
readily adjust the relations of capital and labor
observation in the late slave States already de-
monstrate the truth of this proposition. So
long the inferior class, the late slaves, are kept
in their proper sphere as laborers- not rulers
there will be no antagonism and no harm can
accrue to them. What may happen in the slow
progress Of years-if the colored man, in state
of freedom, shall demonstrate his capacity for
improvement to the extent that the advocates
of universal suffrage affirm-we will not now
undertake to say. Such improvement would
undoubtedly tend to remove much Of the pre-
JUDGE that now exists against his enfranchise-
ment but, we insist upon it that immediate and
universal suffrage conceded to that race would
be the most terrible infection that could be i'm
posed upon it and upon the country. Let those
blind leaders refrain from an experiment that is
without parallel in the history Of the world

The Public Debt.

The aggregate debt of the United States Gov
eminent on the LIST day of March-less cash in
the Treasury amounted to $2,7l1 1850, OOO22
It appears from the official exhibit of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, that the public debt has
been reduced 500 ,OOO,O 900 since November LIST,
whilst there are in the Treasury over $47, $780,
900 Of specie and currency, more than at the
first named date, showing an improvement in
the finances of the Treasury, in the debt and
credit statement, of over 76,5OO,OOO.
The legal tenders of all kinds in circulation
on the LIST of November were 1888, 7O4, Gil. and
LIST Of March, $6O5, 1874, Ala, showing decrease
Of $27, 725, 1877. There are still further encour-
aging features presented
The argument is advanced by skillful fnan-
ciers, judging from the exhibit made in this re-
port Of the Secretary of the Treasury, that the
process Of contraction of the currency can 90 on
without any of the anticipated evils which have
been predicted, the healthy condition of the
currency being sufficient proof Of the correct
ness of these impressions.
The government funds now on deposit in the
national banks is less than twenty millions of
dollars, against twenty-eight millions on the
3lst Of December.

HUMAN LovE.-Consciousne of being
loved gives comfort and strength and makes
trust in God real living feeling that influences
the daily life. If there is no love above us, if
all men turn glances of dislike upon us, and
close their hands against us, then our hearts
grow hard, and we find it difficult to rise at
once, without the aid Of human steps, above
dence in God; all has tendency to become
dark above, as it around whereas love and
kindness keep our hearts open; dear loving
people are to us witnesses Of the love and ten
derness of God-are his angels whom he sends
to show US that he has not forgotten u.s.

The Richmond Banks and the Treasury
Department.

At the time of the evacuation of Richmond,
the banking establishments of that city contrived
to send away the amount of coin belonging to
the different institutions to point further South,
for the purpose of securing it. The amount
originally reached the sum Of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, ofwhich one hundred and
fifty thousand were lost by plumber, and the re-
mainder placed on deposit at Washington, Ga,
in charge Of special agent Of the Richmond
banks, who, owing to the unsettled condition of
affairs, was unable to get back to Richmond,
some time
While this coin was at Washington, Georgia.
claim was made to it by General Wild, of the
Freedmen's Bureau on the ground that it was
captured property, and an investigation of the
case by General Winslow resulted in giving the
right Of possession to the agent of the banks
Afterward, about the goth of August last, an
order from the President, through the Secreta-
ry of War, was received by General Steedman,
then commanding the department. to turn over
the captured coin to Treasury agent This
was done, and the coin sent to this city, where
it was placed on special deposit with the Treas
urer of the United States.
Claim is now made in behalf of the Richmond
banks for the restoration of this money, and it
is alleged that the order of the President was
made without full information of the facts in
the case.
After full and careful examination by the
Treasury Department, the matter has been re-
ferred to the President, who has ordered that
the coin be restored, provided the identity be-
tween the amount now on deposit in the Treas
ury and that claimed by the banks can be es-
tablished, and a compliance made with certain
formal conditions required by the Secretary of
the Treasury WASH Chron.

are worth fighting for We have just passed
through bloody war to maintain them against
one set OF traitors, and [ make no doubt that
the people will be as ready, if need be, to resist
IN the same way any other set of traitors who
seek to destroy the legal Government by insidi-
GUS artlfice and bold usurpation.
An eminent English publicist mill, on rep
resentatlve government, gives it as his opinion,
that Representative institutions depend for
their permanency upon the readiness of the peo-
pie to fight for then. in case of their being en-
dangered. If too little valued for this, they sell
dom obtain footing at all, and if they do, are
almost sure to be overthrow as soon as the
head OF the government or any party-leader who
can muster force for a coup de sstttn is willing
to run some small risk for absolute power
think it fortunate thing for the country,
that the Radical faction is so demented as to
pick quarrel with the President because he
refuses to be their instrument to overturn the
Constitution and substitute in it's place mill
tary despotism and to stake their political for
tunes upon the mOnstrous vices and follies of
the Irumbull bill. For, in doing so, they do
but insure their own defeat, and consequently,
the restoration OF law, order, and peace, and re-
vlval OF national respect for legal government
and national love for liberty by law.
Even the emanclpated negro for whose sake
it IS pretended that this wrong is done, will not
long fail to see the hypocrisy and fraud of the
transaction. They will see that while they are
cajoled with the pretence of liberty and equality
before the law, this wicked bill subjects them to
the power Of military overseers, excludes them
from all legal protection, denies them the right
to appeal to the courts of law for redress of
grievances, and requires the agents and officers
of the bureau to take jurisdiction of all cases
which concern them and their interests.

zen, EDWARD BATES
