House Of Representatives, will be inter
esting to many of our readers who had
the pleasure of listening to his recent
lecture here, and to those who have not
seen him it will not be devoid of interest,
as the description of one who is termed
by the correspondent Of the New York
Times, who communicated it to that
paper. as his Candidate for the next
Presidency :"
A deep-toned voice, stern yet pleasant,
with hurried, sharp articulation and
nervous tones, indicating prompt dec'-
sion and quick tact, is heard anon dur,

comes from the broad chest OF the
Speaker. Mr.. Schuyler ColFaX, of Indi-

at first sight, as he seems lacking in age,
though satisfactorily dignifed for his
wears. A moments observation OF him

mark him distinctly as the right man

The subject of pressing the people 70
sudden payment of the Natio"ai oeo'
is now agitating Congress and engross-
ing the public mind. While we regard
its perpetuation as an evil, we are not
prepared TO adopt the views of some
theorists, of forcing its legislation for
the purpose OF showing what can be
done by our nation. 1t would be Hat
tering to our national pride, and excite
the admiration of Europe, If we were to
nav off our national debt within fifteen
or eighteen years; yet there are some
matters more important to us than nat
tering our vanity or astonishing the
people of the old world.
If this generation, after having put
down the rebellion, shall be able to &C
complish the work of restoration, twill
have done well, and may very justly
leave a portion of the debt to be paid
by the coming one.
The South caused the debt to be con-
tracted by their own misconduct, and
will 1t not be just to require them and
their children to pay their proportion,
which, in their present Impoverished
condition, they are unable to do. They
have very little property but lands, and
but little beside to pay taxes on orwlth,
and such their condition must be for
years and until emigration, capital, in
dustry, commerce and agriculture shall
have brought to them wealth and pros
perity.
The reduction of taxation to stand
ard which will be sufficient to defray the
ordinary expenses of the government
and maintain perfectly the credit of tn
nation by paying promptly the interes
on the debt, leaving the payment OF tn
principal to time gilmore general pros
perity' when commerce shall have re
sumed its sway, and our increased popu
laticn has greatly developes the agrl
cultural and mineral resources OF tn
country and produced an aggregate
wealth compared with which the Ms
tional debt will be a small per cent.
While it is desirable to return to sp
Gle payment at as esrly period as
consistent with maintaining the bus
ness prosperity OF the country, yet do'
it importance demand the hazard
general disaster and bankruptcy.
There is fear of panic and disaste
prevailing among the people on accoul
of the languishing of trade and the d
pressed financial condition Of the cou
try and the continued reduction OF u
currency, which is always followed by
corresponding reduction in values, c
minishes the capacity o. the people

JUSTICE TO Bellows FALLs.-Editors
Rutland Hcrala Through the uutiring
vigilance of certain persons, d rumor has
been circulated through the State and
elsewhere. to the effect that the Bellows
Falls Temperance Association had COM
omised with rum sellers and granted
them years license to sell the internal
beverage, under certain restrictions.
For example the following has ap-
peared in several of the State papers
"A promising temperance revival has
been progressing lately in Bellows rails.
But one little opposition has taken the
nerve out Of the movement, and popu-
larized the rum traffic. It seems that
the proprietor of the Island House,
finding that the liquor law was about to
be enforced, gave notice to the people
that he should close the hotel, and pro-
ceeded to remove the furniture. The
temperance men, not wanting to lose the
! hotel, consulted together, ana nnally III,
formed the proprietor that he shonlo
not be molested, but that he should &C
| On with his bookkeeping, ana lurnlou
liquor 20 his guests. 1t were better TO-
those men had they never enlisted In INT
good cause"
Justice demands that this be cor
rqcted. The temperance men have heit
no such consultation and made no sucL
compromise. A petition was circulated
for the purpose of securing kind 0
permit for the proprietor Of the lslan'
House to sell rum to the travelling puo
lie, and one or two men without ou
consideration signed it, who hao pre-
viouslv signed the temperance pieoge
and out of this alone those persons nav
made the rumor.
The Association unanimously passe'
the following resolutions, and requisite
