PoIincalHistory Falsified.

THE Age of this morning says :-"When the
radicals were in minority in Congress they
ccntended that the latter body had no right
under the Constitution to legislate for the
people of the Territories, but insisted that
those only who lived in Territory had a
right to make its local laws. This was one of
the cardinal points in the Republican creed,
and no two men in the country more loudly
clamored for this principle than Stevens and
Sumner"
The editor of the Age shows a singular
ignorance OF political history. The doctrine
of the Republican party has always been that
Congress has full power to make all needful
rules and regulations for the government of
the Territories of the United States. 1t was
on this ground that it advocated, and finally
secured, the prohibition Of slavery in the
Territories.
The doctrine which the Age ignorantly
ascribes to the Republicans is that known as
"Squatter Sovereignty" and was at one time
the accepted creed of that large portion OF
the Democratic party which followed the lead
of Senator DOUGLAS. 1t was never a part
of the Republican creed.

Death OF Hon. George e. Badger.

Hon. George E.. Badger, of Raleigh, North
Carolina, as announced by telegraph. died in
that city on Friday last, in the seventy-second
year OF his age. He was born in Ne Tbern N
c. He graduated at Yale College ln lSl3 after
wards studied and practised law, and was
elected 10 the Legislature in 1916. In 1920 he
was elected Judge of the Supreme Court,
which he resigned in 1925; he was appointed
Secretary of the Navy by President Harrison in
1S41, and was elected Senator to Congress In
1896 and elected in lS48 Tor term Of SIX years.
OF late years he has devoted his time to the
practice OF his profession. The Raleigh Sentinel
says:-
"Thus has been eXtinguished what before it was
partially obscured by disease, was perhaps the
brightest light in the in ellectual horizon of our
State Mr.. Badger, during. a long aud brilliant
career filled some of the highest positions in the
State and national departments OF Government, and
adorned and illustrated them all. In the Senate OF
the United States, Its pamy days, when 1t the
OF those grand intellectual displays that
participated in by the great t1umvTate of mind and
statesmanship-W Clay, and Ca houn-he was
recognized as an equal and a peer. As jurist he
had lew equals and superiors; and as a forensic
and parliamentary orator and rhetonciau he was
almost unsurpassed. Added TO his super-eminent
abb les he was possessed of genial kindness of
nature and elevated purity OF character that
marked HIM the model man no less than the master
mind"

An Error at Least,

A few days since the readers OF the Demo-
cratic organ OF our city were astonished at
finding in its editorial columns an article pur-
porting to be copied from the Chicago Re
publican Mr.. DANA's paper), in which Gene
raj GRANT was compared to the murderer
PBoBsT. The following is the article as it
appeared in our morning contemporary
DANA, late Assistant Secretary of War under
Mr.. STANTON, aud now bitter rever or the
President, because OF his failure to get the col
lectolship OF New York in recent issue of the
Chicago ReplLbiCdn draws q parallel between
lRoBsT and General GRANT, in which the Gene.
raj gets rather the worst OF it, while SHERMAN,
SERBIAN, and THOMAS by no means come off
scalheless:-
&" 'PRoBsT wanted the $500 and the boots; GRANT
wanted Richmond; the DEARING family stood
III the way OF the money and the ReOel army in
the OF Richmond. PRoBsT murdered ali the
persons who could prevent hls theft; GRANT dId
toe same PRoBsT did no more than GRANT, out as TO
the atrOclty OF his act fully equal to hlm;
GRANTS motive was as criminal as that OF PRoBsT,
and 10 accomplish his success he murdered more
IS thief and a murderer, whose deeds can be
classed only IN the same grade with the atrocious
classed the acts of SHERMAN, >HERIDAN, Thomas,
and their associates, rank and file"
Those who were familiar with the record
of Mr. DANA naturally were astonished at
the sudden change of tone evinced by such
an editorial utterance.
1t turns out, however, that the paper in
which the article appeared was not the Chi
cago Republican, but the Chicago Times,
bitter pro-slayery, Democratic organ. We
might have thought that our morning con-
temporary miscredited the source by acci-
dent, but it requires a vast supply of the milk
of human kindness, when we find that the
editor actually rewrites the original so as to
make it better suit his purpose. The article
appearing in the Times reads:-
"He exhibited all the qualities of a great
general or OF some great generals. He had an
jiect to accom- oish. That object was to obtain
500 and pair of secondhand cavalry boots.
This money and these boots lay in what might be
called the Richmond OF the murderer's plans.
Between hiu and the Richmond lay the DEAR
ISG family,
'Now right here is where the murderer
showed the possession OF such qualities as are
found III our greatest, on in some OF our greatest
m litary leaders. He concluded TO take the
b Iots and money by what may be, or rather
what has been called 'attrtion.' This attrition'
resulted in the kllling OF great many people.
1t was a success II resulted in the gain by the
assaultng party of the Richmond in which lay
boots and money The path was doubtless
bloody. a most tremendous, and, many people
will think, an unnecessarily ploody one, OUT II
was crowned with success. II the END does not
excuse the means in all cases where success
results, then we have read history to little pur-
pose. = A. n

VALIDITY OF GREENBACKs AS LEGAL TENDER
The case of Stephen Kempton vs.. Oliver Bron-
son haS been decided at a General Term of the
Supreme Court, held In the CITY of Buffalo. The
sum OF money involved was only about $500,
and the case derives its interest from the fact
that the validity Of greenbacks as legal tender
at their face value was at ISSUE The action
originated in Orleans county, and the matter in
dispute was the legality of an offer TO discharge
mortgage which was made payable in gold or
silver coin-the agreement dating anterior to the
war. Judgment is given for the plaintiff, affirm
ing the validity OF the tender of greenbacks at
their par value in satisfaction of the claim not
wthsanding the agreement with regard to pay
ment in coin,
STRIKE OF NEGROES AND WHITE MEN.-A
monster strike OF levee abOrers is in progress at
st. Louis, and no boats can either load or un-
load. The strike commenced with the negroes,
who were afterwards Joined by the Irish and
Germans. Tie strikers, who ask an advance
from S35 and $40 to $50 and $50 per month,
paraded the levee on Monday morning, to the
number of 1000. No disturbances have oc-
CURED, nor has any violence been used, all who
were at work on Monday joining the strikers at
the first call.

we must look higher. He outranks the regular
and highest of the customary official dlstinc.
ions. He should be, at the very least, lieu.
tenantgeneral."
1t will thus be seen that the editorial was de-
liberately altered and then mlscredited in order
to secure political capital. To accuse tel-
low-iournalIst OF utterances which he never
made, is a gross wrong. To alter an extract
is a professional crime. Yet we fiud our
contemporary guilty of both in the most evil
dent manner, in order to lay charge on the
guitless shoulders of the ex-Assistant Secre-
tary ofWar.
We are not certain whether our neighbor
altered the article or whether the Republican
copied it from the Times, in order to reply to
its slanders, and it was credited to the paper
which merely republished it to attack its doc
trines. 1t reminds us of the inhdel quotation
from the Bible, "Tbere is no Cod" emitting
the context, "the fool has said in his heart"
However, it is certain that the Democratic
Times, and not the radical Republican, was
the father of the infamous article abusive Of
our nobest patriots.

Mr.. Gladstone on American Finances.

Mr.. Gladstone on Anne ericaD Finances.
In his position as Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, Hon. w. E. GLADSTONE proceeded on
the Sd inst. to give to the House of Commons
q succinct statement on the subject of
finance. We give elsewhere the body of his
speech, but will only gu te editorially such
portions as relate to our own affairs. After
speaking of the sudden rise OF our gigantic
debt, he says 81 do not hesitate to declare
that contemplate with the least anxiety the
debt of the United States" he then speaks
of its proportions, and says:-
'Well, now, looking at these figures, man
would be struck with something like despair;
but if we look at the position of the country
which has TO bear the burden, must confess
that think the future OF America, as far as
finance is concerned-polihcal problems are not
now in uupstion-Will not be attended with any
embarrassment. l do not believe that the debt
will constitute any difficulty for the American
people / am confident that if they show with
respect TO finance any portion of that eytTaor.
binary resolution which on both sides alike they
manifested during the war, and OF that equally
remarkable resolution with which, on the re-
turn of peace, they have brought their mon
strous and gigantic establishments within mole.
rate bounds won't say that this debt, accord
ing TO an expression which was once fashionable
in this country, will be tleablte but that in
moderate time it will be brought within very
small limits, and may, even within the lifetime
of persons now living, be etIaced altogether"
The following testimony to the liberality OF
our people and the wisdom of our Secretary
of the Treasury will be received with plea
sure, coming as it does from a man so well
qualified to Judge as is Mr.. GLADSTONE
''The amount of the revenue of the United
States is not less, l appreheLd, than about eighty
millions of money, the largest sum ever raised
in any country Tor the purposes of central
Government. The estimated surplus is from
twenty to thirty millions sterling year, and
believe at present only about ten millions OF
their taxation are menacet by the natural impa-
tience of the people Wlrh respect to some OF the
taxes that have been imposed. Mr.. MCCULLoCH,
the Finance Minister of that country, strongly
urges the policy OF reducing the debt, and am
quite certain that rom this lide of the water we
shall send him a hearty expression OF good
wishes for his success, both on account of our
interest in the Well-being of friendly nation,
and because 1t may be hoped that the example
OF America will react benefcially on this coun-
try"
In various parts of his address he quotes
the official figures of the debts Of the various
nations of Europe. We append table, re-
ducing them to dollars, which will be inte-
resting as well as valuable for future refer
