DsMIEurION OF THE PUBLIC DEBT,
The Treasury Exhibit of April 1st has
supplied a foundation for the $ tatement
that during the past year HAe public
debt was reduced by n hui adred and
sighty-one millions of dollars.
The total debt stood, April /, 1867, two
thousand six hundred and sixty-three
millions, against two thousand eight
hundred and tw%enty-seven millions,
April ], 1866, showing a reduction Of one
hundred and sixty-four millions.
But at the same time, the coin debt
was Increased from one thousand one
hundred and eighty millions to one
thousand four hundred and forty-nine,
OF three hundred and nineteen millions,
while the currency debt was reduced to
four hundred and ffty-four millions.
Now with gold at 1856, the currency
debt was worth about seventy-four cents
on the dollar, and the foHr hundred and
ffty-four millions could have been paid
with the equivalent of three hundred
and thirty-five millions Of coin, or but
sixteen millions more than It will take
to pay the increase Of the coin debt.
Thus, while the nominal amount Of the
debt is reduced n hundred and sixty
four millions, its real amount is reduced
only sixteen millions. And yet the reve-
nue. in coin from customs is one hundred
and thirty-fve millions a year, which is
double as much as can be permanently
expected. The cein interest will 500
reach one hundred and thirty-five mil
lions q year, and taxes will be called for
in specie equivalents.
Meanwhile, the Bankrupt Law goes
into practical operation on the fret Of
June, and we may then look for finan-
cial squalls. The New York World
says:
After the violent %speculations and fuc-
tuatiOns of prices of the past six years
there must be multitudes of firms and
individuals who are really insOlvsnt and
who viii be tempted to go into liquida-
ton so rs to start fresh and unembaT-
raised by membranes. AS is always
the case, persons who are least suspected
will be among the voluntary bankrupts;
this will create alarm among the cred
itOr class; money will become tight,
and then will follow forced sales Of
stocks and real estate. In addition to
the thousands of old bankrupts who
have been working for this law for
years, there are also thousands who have
been ruined by the war in the south.
Add u these the great number Of in
solvent firms who Will be glad to take
advantage OF the law, and it is easy TO
foTesee how busy lawyers, judges, and
registers will be after the 1st Of June,
and what a disturbance will be created
in financial circles until the rush y is
over, and the rotten firms sifted out.

might be carried on for a certain nunber
Of years; but, out Of tenderness for the
conscientious scruples , of New England
the word Slave was carefully ex-
cluded from the Constitution, though q
duty Of ten dollars was to be paid on
every such chstteI imported. Out oithe
same tenderness, probably no denia OF

Slavery in the Territories or Che DMEics

England also secured the carrying-trEde )
and therefore consented that in fixing
the ratio of representation in the Htusei
tbree-inhs OF the Slaves should be
counted. Virginia agreed to everything
asked by any State that would in rfturn
vote TO give her a representation adeord-
ing to numbers in both Houses. New
York was the least selfish Of all. i was
she that saved the rights Of the imall
States and the Federal Union.
It required seventy-fOur years fol the
fruit Of these selfish compromises to
ripen. So long, the Constitution con-
tinued to run. We have reaped snd are
still reaping those fruits, after thOsew who
made the compromises have all passed
away, glorihed as the makers OF
the Constitution that was the wonder OF
the world, the safeguard Of liberty, the
ne plus ultra Of perfection, the MODEST
monument of human wisdom. OTrlth!
thou art indeed hidden in a well!

The Way a. Works.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Adrertser
says:
"At the late election in Tuscumbia.
Alabama, four-ffths Of the negro votes
were cast for Maj. Sloss for mayor, (cOn-
servative), against the radical candidate,
who was q bureau agent"
Upon this the AdUeTtiser makes the
following comments:
"The first and only election in Ala
bama under the new regime, shows that
the cOlOred people understand that their
interests are with the whites OF the south,
and not with the yankees, who want
their votes In order to get Office andmake
money out Of the country and out Of
their labor. If the yankees gel their
votes and continue in Office, they will
put a still heavier tax on cotton than
three cents per pound. Where Goes this
three cents per pound come from? Out
of the negrO's labor.n
This isa very good argument, indeed,
to address the negrO.u

ARKANhAs frEMs.

The Daily Gazette, published at Little
Rock, says the Pulaski circuit court,
Judge Bartlett presiding, has been in
session since the Sth inst. A large num-
Der Of criminal cases have been thus dis
posed Of. In twenty-five cases the state
entered 8 HoHe pros. In five the indict-
ments were quashed six individuals
were discharged for various causes, and
seven negroes have been sentenced to
the penitentiary for periods of from one
TO I've years. One negro was sentenced
for the former term one day and par
doned by the governor the next. The
trial Of Adolph Flanagan, the negro
who murdered DIR. Webb and his son
Mott last summer, is now in progress,
but a panel Of jurymen seem very jifii-
cult to be obtained.

Development of Professional Of
flee Seekers.

The Cincinnati Commercial, in the follow
ing, in relation to the professional Office
seekers which so abound in the Repub-
lican ranks. hits fair blow at as graceless
set of scamps as ever disgraced any
patty.
During the war, the men who urged vio-
lence against Demoerats-the loudest
mouthed in calling men traitors, were the
men furious for others going to the war,
but who preferred remaining at home in
order to save their own precious carcasses
from danger. The Commercial fairly de-
guerreotypes these scamps in the follow
ing:
When we consider the short time that
the Republican party has been in power,
the development of professional office
seekers in it is something wonderful. 1t is
about as bad as the Democratic party was
when it had fattened and riOted on the
spoils of Office for twenty years. In every
county and township we find men who as
sert claims to public regard for extreme
loyalty, and assume that the Republican
party owes them a living. AS general
rule they are uen who were able-bodied
during the war, but were not in the mill
tary service, and who claim to have been
very effective in hostility toward Copper
heads. Ihey SnuHeu Cne UaGCle aIar OH,
and put down the rebels with hard words
and loud protestations of the imprac-
ticable things they would do in impos-
sible contingencies. Some were in the
army, though, as quartermasters, commits
saries, chaplains, surgeons, and slch, and
most of their time during the war was oc-
cupied in playing poker between drinks, in
snuggeries remote from the skirmish line.
In their frequent trips homeward they
sought newspaper notice and swelled with
consequence, considering themselves the
heroes who were trampling down the rebel
horaes. Now they desire to be rewarded
with office, and their appeals are most pa
thetic. There is still another class-those
who were in the army little while,
and played out when the work be-
came rough. They are usually rabid for
the offal OF office in proportion to the brew
ity of their military career. The aggregate
effect has been to put the Republican party
in bad way, and the test of its virtue is
its ability to purify itself. If it devotes
itself to the guardianship ofits professional
office-seekers, cultivates their ambition by
fiattery. covers up their corrupt practices,
fearing the party may be injured, and ap-
proves profiigacy in administration tor the
sake OF fattening on the waste, then its
career will be cut short. A party must be
able to rectify abuses within itself, to put
down its own false and selfish men, and
adapt its declared principles to its own
reformation, or it must speedily perish.

Fif,v-Fiye Years Ago.

In the Dayton Library is file of the

Burnet. at Dayton, Ohio. The paper has
four columns to a page. The pages are
ten by sixteen inches in size. The ''Sentt-
nelE' of February 27, 1872, contains the fol-
lowing paragraph, which is not without
interest at the present time:
''THE SEAT OF GOvERNMENT.-Ihe Leg
islature have at length settled the question
respecting the seat of Government, at least
for season. 1t is to be removed to Chilli
cothe for the present. The high bank OPP
posite Franklinton, has been fixed upon as
the permanent seat for twentv-thr years,
to commence in the year 1917"
At the time the above appeared, Marietta
was the seat of Government. The ''high
bank opposite Franklinton" is the ground
upon which the city of Columbus, the pres
ent State Capital, now stands.-Ddyton

GAINESVILLE was the seat of Government. 1t

became dissatisfied and moved it back to

posite Columbus" then in the woods, could
