WOMEN AHEAD.-k Freachman Of statistical
turn of mind, who evidently has but little to do,
publishes in Hayre paper some curious statis-
tics of the average talk of men and women. He
has discovered that an ordinary middle-aged
man spends three hours per day in conversation,
calculating at the rate of one hundred words. per
minute, or twenty-nfne octave pages per hour,
which would amount to six hundred pages per
week, or 6fty-two big volumes per year. HaV-
ing ascertained these facts as regards the mascu-
line portion of the human race, the statistician
applied his best energies to ascertain tae amount
of words uttered by an ordinary and middle
aged female per minute, and the amount of time
spent on the average By that sex in general con-
versation. After the most patient investigation
and abstruse calculation, this able arithmetician
was compelled to give up the question, and con-
fess that the magnitude of the figures produced
even at the outset of the inquiry bafaed all hu-
man calculation.

FAILURE OF MORE & FoGUs.-0n Thursday
last it became publicly known that this mining
firm had disposed of its property and was insol-

know, but must be very large-proba6ly be-

On the l4th day of August, the property vas
transferred to the Minear Mining and Milling

that C. E. Tilton, of New York, held mort

Publish the Figures !

The Journal says we misrepresent the fig
urcs of the National debt. We took the
figures from the telegraphic column of the
Journal of Monday last; and we repeat that
the figures show reduction of twenty
millions only. When we receive the official
report of Secretary MCCULLooH, If the re-
duction is i24 millions, we will say so. We
are not like the Journal, which misrepre-
sents, but aeuer corrects-except once when
we proved garbling on it so clearly that
the convicted criminal was forced to admit
and apologize for iG.
The statement, that we purposely misrcp-
resented the figures is worthy of the editor
of the journal. We have never been con-
Victed of "garbllng."

A Solid Reason.

MORTON McMIcHAEI, who is the present
Mayor of Philadelphia, and, for many
years, editor of the NORTH American. us has
already been announced, lately came out in
n strong article in that paper, approving
of the Administrative policy of President
JOHNSON, One of the points he makes is
this:
''llis speeches were always replete with
advocacy of low taxation, cheap govern
ment and simplicity of administrative
forms. His prompt reorganization of the
conquered States, on the return of peace,
and disbandment OF our vast armies and
swarms of war officials, undoubtedly saved
the nation hundreds of millions Of dollars
and, as we approved of his action then, we
have since seen no reason to change our
views" .,l4-..
The people win see in the above good
reasons for sustaining the President, to re-
duce the expenses OF the Government, and
to that end uphold his restoration policy,
which, If it prevail, will save millions on
millions Of dollars to the public treasury

Slavery and AbOlitiOnism Both
Dead.

Since the abolition of slavery, the people
begin to see that the old line of division
between them is gone, and that the main
support of fanaticism is swept away. This
is producing its natural result. The Abo-
ltion party, which agitated the non-exten-
sion of slavery into the territories, and
then brought about war to overthrow it
in the States, having succeeded in all its
purposes. is about to dissolve for want OF
aliment. 1t lived upon slavery agitation
1t must now die for want or it. But its
leaders are making desperate efforts to eX-
cite the old feeling by rows in New Orleans
and letters from the South, lying about the
true condition of affairs. 1t won't work

Didn't Scare a Bit.

The National Union Convention hold at
Columbus day before yesterday exhibited
Judgment and good sense. The cry of
"VALLANDIduAM and PENDLEToN" was lost
on them. They resolved to cooperate at
the polls with all persons who support the
President.
There are some old women in pants be-
longing Republican party who pretend to
endorse the the President, but they can not
do anything in company with the leaders
of our party. The Columbus Convention
had very few of that style. 1t recognized
the danger of the country the magnitude
of the Democratic party; the influence OF
its leaders and the necessity Of its undi-
vided support 1t saw that no one was
asking Office for the Democratic leaders, but
support for the President.

E#-SCHENoK, and BIcKHAM of the Jour
nal are fond OF terming the Democracy the
"Bredd-dnd- Butter Party"
Bread and butter are very palatable and
quite useful; but in these Radical times,
they cost money, and a good deal of it,.
Now, in laying in such wholesome supplies
ScHENcK and his Journal slender" have
the decided advantage. SCHENcK has only
to vote any amount he pleases-Sl000, for
instanee-whieh they two ardent patriots
can readily divide or with it jointly run
the family concern while the Democracy
are forbidden even the crumbs, and the
poor soldiers are compelled TO stint them
selves and families on the modicum of
truck which 500 can command-three
small loayes and two fishes.

editor, or he would not be SO constantly re-
minding poor soldiers and democrats of
their infimities. We can't all be Black
Republican members of Congress!

That's 1t.

OF the result in Kentucky, the Enquirer
reminds the distressed Radicals that they
may invent what excuses they please for
this Waterloo defeat, but they win not sat
isfy themselycs--much less the community.
They may say It was victory of the gray
over the blue-of the seeesslonists over the
Unionists; but opposed to this is the fact
of majority of4O,OOO in State that used to
give 10000 against secession and for the re-
tention Of the State in the Union.

Great Relief.

The Journal the other day, had short
paragraph (Which we have mislaid), CON
graduating the producing class on little
relief which they are promised, by the
operation of the new revenue or tariff act,
In reducing the taxes on some of the main
nccessaries of life; which, of course, was
to 90 to the credit of the Black Radicals of
Congress. We have not examined the act,
as it was hurried through, in the last
hours-the drunken hours of the House.
but the following, from the New York
Herald, viii answer the purpose:
ave are told by Radical Senators that
the present internal revenue law is one OF
the best measures ever framed. Yet In the
next breath they denounce the provision
doubling the tax on income over $4,000 as
unjust and wrong in principle. We imag-
inc that the people, under these circum-
stances, will consider that the Radical
Senators and Congressman are very poor
| judges of the merits of the law, especially
when they come to realize the fact that the
tax on the specializing interest in Wal
street is reduced, and that on such neces.
sary articles to every family as cotton it Il
increased. Then again the tax on whisky
is diminished, while that on the crude ol
unreiined sugar is increased. A careful
analysis of the bill will show that the tag
on articles of luxury has been reduced, anC
power given to monopolies to collect theii
tax of The people, while the neccssaries O.
life are taxed according to the old rate
This is the bill that the Radicals call tn,
best ever framed. The people will be callet
upon at the ballot box to give their opinion
of this mcasure.'
