AGITATION.

Years ago, when negro slavery -four
isbed in all its prime, and John Brown
had yet to render his name immortal BY
expiation of the crime Of lnsurreciion
upon the gallows, the name Of A5olitioa-
ist was spoken with sneer or jest, aud 4
few sturdy patriots in the cause Of Free
dom were all that could be found raiiyir:
publicly around their standard Of liberty.
But the band pressed manfuliy on, and as
by constant dripping the stone is worn
away, so by constant agitation have four
millions of slaves become, in civil rights,
aud the dark veil of bondage has been
lifted from off cur fair land forever
Agitation has been the great lever power
which has moved the world for centuries,
for good. Then let US make it our instru-
ment to accomplish great ends il the fu-
ture.
The henious monster-In;emperauce-
walks abroad in our land, b!ighting the
lntellects of our youth, bringing sorrow
and wee to many fresides, and carrying
down to the grave both Old aad young.
The temperance organiza'ious have
long been grapling with this foe, but for
complete success they must have the CO.
operation Of the PeopIe-the temperate
aud law abiding Of every community,
must join hands with them, if they wish
to see them succeed in carrying out this
great work As certain as the agitation
of the slavery question worked the down
fail of that institution, so is it to be the
power employed to crush out the traihc OF
liquor, and debase the habit Of intenPer-
ance fifth TbHRe.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

The financial measures devised by Con-
grcss, sustained as they are by the won
derful energies and patriotic self denial
Of the American people, have been re-
markably successful, and are pouring into
the national treasury larger revenues than
are received By any European Govcrn-
men:. They far exceed the current ex.
penditures. Nearly $500, 100000 of the
public debt have been paid Of during the
last year, and Sl00,00O,0o0 during the
four months ending on the 3lst Of Octo-
Der. There was besides in the Treasury
at that date more than Sl3g,0C0G00, of
which S9l ,413,0lS was in coin. The in
teres: bearing debt now amounts to less
than 100000. These results would
have appeared incredible in the dark days
of 1862. In former times it was the
highest glory of brilliant Administra-
ton TO wipe out in series of years such
a debt as we have liquidated in few
brief months.
The secret of tnis extraordinary fnan-
ciai success is, Of course, to be found in
the extraordinary prOductiveness Of Amer
lean Industrial pursuits and resources,
aud which, including agriculture, manu-
factures, commerce, aud the rise in the
value Of real and personal property, are
estimated to yield per annum more than
500,000,OO0. \ comparatively small
tax upon this immense production is suf-
fclent to defray Ill current expenditures
and to provide for the gradual extinction
Of the national debt. As this burden
was entailel By the rebellion, the only
danger that even remotely menaces our
financial future arises from the machiua
tons of the reballious States and their
sympathizers in the North To guard
against this peril we need wise legislation,
raconstruction on basis that will not
weigh down the nation forever with i'm
pudent Southern claims and traitorous
threats Of reputation, and the continued
determination of patriotic citizens to pre-
serve the national credit untarnished.

\ special dispatch to Tie Eoston Id
ocrfiser says that the recent Interview Of
General Grant with the President con
cernin sahe amnesty suffrage compromise,
appears to have been of very ioterest-
ing character. The General earnestly op-
posed the scheme as an utter : unsafe ba
sis of reconstruction, tending to restore
Rebels to absolute power in the rcbelious
section. lie urged Mr.. johnson to ac-
cent ard recommend the amendment TO
the Constitution as fair and just plan OF
reconstruction, taking the ground that
the people had declared for it in uumis.
taxable terms at the elections, and that it
wcuiG be unwise 70 disregard their ex-
nressed wishes. 1t is said That the Pres
ident listened to these opinions without
indicating his own views, but leaving a
decided impression upon the mind Of the
General that his advice would be disre
garded. 1t is known that Gen. Grant is
of the ouiniou that if Mr. johnson would
give the amendment his support i would
he Immediately ratified BY enough South
crn States to make it part Of the Con-
st.tEtlou.

FRoa TIE MOD:LEREGlsTEH,

THE Mobile (Aia.) Register having
been assailed by the Mobile Times for its
advocacy of al attempt to adjust, BY COM
promise, the prevailing differences be-
tween the Nor.h and the South, retorts
By the following picture of our predomi-
mating power:
Thelc are some among us (and our
neigL5or is Of the number) who have new
er taken in and comprehended the full
measure Of the present situation They
DO not realize that we are a conquered
people, and that we are, including prop
er;y and life, at the will of the conquer
er; that our former slaves are made free
by means Of the same sword that placed
the whites sab rosa that the party that
holds to these theories Of the result OF
the late war, is in the undisputed control
and power Of the Government, and that
they are at this moment debating whether
they shall net use that power TO declare
cur State governments nullities, to carry
our leaders to the scaifold, and to send
standing armies 70 rule u.s. And we are
not TO be permitted to counsel together
how to avert this bIightn:ng catastrophe? j?
Are we 10 lie told that, though the heay-
ems fall" and seven while in the death
struggle" we are TO DO nothing but spit in
the face ofou adversaies our dying words
of contc mpt and Defiance" and that we
are .;eight millions Of free born men, who
have nothing TO fear from the designs Of
a handful Of traitors, consp;rators and
cowards." These arc brave words, but
what do they avail when brave swords
have been broken, aud their brave wicld-
ers have gone down in the effort to make
them good? This sort of thing, we beg
our ardent cOtemporary to perceive, is
s'played out" We are in a "bad fix"
nay, desperate predicament. The fno.
OF radicalism is on our necks, and We
want its pressure removed. We are op
posed to "spitting into its face and dying"
and prefer to see if We cannot compromise
the matter On basis short of dying.

THE AMENDMENT OF SUFFRAGE

Some of TIE Democratic papers contin-
re to misrepreseut the Constitutional
Amendment BY declaring that 1t provides
for negro suffrage. and even sound Re
publicans drift into the way Of assOciat-
ing it with universal suffrage, aud I'M
partial suffrage
There never was greater mistake or
grosser misrepresentation concerning
this important measure, So far as negro
suffrage goes, the Amendment IL as silent
as it is concerning Chinese suffrage in
Ning2o. In respect to negroes, it simply
provides that they shall stand equal be-
fore the law with white men, and that
where adult citizens Of any color are de-
prived of the right of suffrage, the States
SO depriving them shall not claim repre-
sentatiou in Congress for the persons so
disfranchised. The constitutional Amend
ment leave the question of suffrage, both
white and black, with the States where 1t
is now, and to torture it into a1 enact
ment compelling the individual States to
give the right Of suffrage to negroes is
wiIigui misrepresentation, or sre'ious
errer, or beth.

AN INVEliNAL MACH!SEE,

During the time President johnson
was in Pittsburg, box was sen, to him
at the hotel where lie was stopping. Just
about the time the President was coinc
to open it, the idea thai it was an infer
nal machine was suggested, much to the
alarm of the party. The President or
dercd Gen. Custer to examine the box
The ilustrious General in company with
other Of the party, took the box to the
court yard OF the hotel, and turned a
Stream Of water from the hydrant upon it
completely saturating the bex and its
contents. The crowd then hastily secur-
cd sech bombproois as they could fl up,
and the box was thrown upon the ground
aud lursted open. There was no explo-
sion, but an examination of the box
showed that il containcd-a dead GucL.
