DEMOCRATIC Doctors win Differ.


The New York World, the leading
Democratic paper in the United States,
vigorously opposes the Vallandigham
scheme of rObbing the public creditors
bv paying the national debt in green
backs. The World argues shat the
principal is payable in real money, be-
cause Congress specifically exempted
the interest of these bonds from the Op-
GRAFTON of the legal tender act, and this
necessarily exempted the principal
We give its argument on this point for
its novelty:
That the Senate amendment exempted
the interest of the bonds from the oper-
alton Of the legal tender clause is on all
hands admitted. But the exemption of
the interest exempted also the principal.
The principal and interest of the public
debt hold a certain arithmeJical rela5 ion
to each other; the six per cent. annual
interest being precisely six One-hun-
dredths OF the amount ultimately due
as the principal of the debt. If either
interest or principal fluCtuates in val
ne. they necessarily huctuate together,
their ratio to each other being constant
" as six is to one hundred, whatsoever
may be the absolute value Of either. IL
I borrowed last year a thousand dollars
in green blacks and the annual
interest is due to-day, the sixty dollars
which I pay to-day is worth precisely
principal to-day, and this would be
equally true whether the depreciation
were thirty per cent. OF three hundreds
so fixed is the proportion between in
terest at any given rate and the principal
on which IL is paid. When, therefore,
the Government engages to pay the in
terest on q certain debt in coin, and de-
clares, at the same time, that the rate is
six per cent, it thereby engages that
the principal shall also be paid in coin;
for otherwise the interest would not be
six one-hundredths of the principal, ,
and the rate per cent, would be some
other than six. We, therefore, hold
that Congress, in exempting the Interest
OF the ffve-twenties from the operation
of the legal tender act, necessarily eX-
empted also the principal.
The World argues further that it was
understood at the time that these were
coin bonds; that the Secretary OF the
I Treasury so stated, and Congress did
not except to it therefore the govern
ment is bound by the permitted action
Of its agent. 1t also cites the clause in
/ the law authorizing the issue Of these
4 bonds, which provides that the duties
shall be paid In coin, and this coin shall
/ be applied, first, to the payment Of the
/ interest; second, to the purchase or pay
/ ment Of one per cent. Of tho whole pub
/ llc debt per anuum, TO bo set apart as q
sinking fund; and It argues that this
/ setting apart Ofcoin for the purchase o.
! payment OF the bonds, was another rec
/ ognition in the law itself that they were
1 coin bonds. Now In reply TO all this

HowCars are Crowded.

Coates Kinney, in the XeniR (Ohio)
Torchligh, tells very an1usingly his eX-
perience in a crowded car. He says:
'"Fhe o'clock train this morning, up
from Aenia, was packed with people
but loosely packed, as is the royal
American custom. A long string of a
man coiled all over two seats, with a
hard knot of head up in The window
and a double bow-knOt of boots over in
the aisle; an iucubatively Wide-crino-
lined woman spreading dehantly and
cluckishly spitefuI at any entering pas
senger of the same gender, who offered
to shove her over; a man and woman
with three Valises, two baskets, hve
hOWer-pots, eight shawls, a bird-cage
and an invalid poodle, preemptiVely as
serting eminent domain over all Of four
seats; so loosely was this train over
crowed with passengers when we enter
ed it at Xenia.
SIT requires courage 70 get a seat here.
To get three seats requires audacity.-
We possess audacity as a natural gift,
and we pushed for the four seats which
contained the man, the woman, the
Valises, the baskets, the fioWer-pOts, the
shRwls, the bird-cage, and the indispos-
ed poodle. We PROFOUND to the man
the prepOsterOus inquiry, whether or not
he occupies all four Of these seats. AS
IL we couldn't see that he Just more than
occupied theml Man, with full meas
ure of disgust appropriate to the situa-
ton, as though sick in his very soul
with our impertinence, promptly and
sharply replies he rather does occupy
these four seats; and his decisive en-
pbasis, cOrrOborated by the before de-
tailed appearance Of things, goes to in
dicate that he means to be understood
as occupying every inch Of them.
"But, my dear sir, have you paid for
four seats ?" This was an outrageous
question and we faucied the valetu-
dinarian poodle gave SYMPTOMS Of faint
ing at the shock of it.
ayes, sir, 1 have paid for them P'-
this response coming with an indignant
pop, as II terked out with a corkscrew.
"Well, sir, we shall see if you have"
We had become obstinate, and believed
we had a call to fight it out on that line.
We therefore reinforced with the con-
ductor, and moved upon the works.
The man offered to bet the conductor
some four dollars and half, We think
it was, that payment for seat im-
piled n whole slip, and that he only had
what his ticket called for. The conduc-
tor very cOurteOusIy declined to take
the bet, but did take the valises and the
rest of the inventory out Of two of the
four seats, making the other two look
like an overloaded furniture car, with
the little family packed in the middle,
As our two ladies went into possession
of the vacated promises, we felt a pang
Of reHOrse for our action Of ejoctment"

NO. 81.

iRnot Democratic, says amiably Of the
New York World, which is everything
and Democratic:
saThe New York World, aroused by
Wall street, started by army thieves
during the war, which favored the war,
abused those who objected to it, favored
negro suffrage, and opposed every Dem
Ocratic principle worth preserving, after
the Ohio election comes out in a lecture
to the Democracy. q The New
York World, which has never failed to
stab the Ohio Democracy when the
darkness concealed the thrust, now un-
dertakes to dictate what that Democra-
cy shall do when it has reached the
sunshine"
Such are the longitudinal variations
of Democracy. This is the pleasant
spirit that moved Vallandigham's tre-
mendous prophetic declaration in the
House: "The day that witnesses the
separation of the South from the North,
that seIf-same day witnesses the final
separation of the West from the East"

T AOAA
John.

Pm not good at storytelling. But
some way I've thought if / told this lit
tie thing, there might be some one If
would please. Not so much please as
comfort, may be, like sliding a hand
within q body's when they're in troub-
le for there's nothing like a quiet
hand-grip when one is in deep pain.
But about this little history.
1t isn't much, and it has poor title,
but if YOU knew how differently the
name sounded from what il looks, star
ing there-hoW il makes me flash and
thrill with love and deep feeling, you
wouldn't think it so hOmely and plain.
Every one knew him, from the little
bare, brOWu-fOoted children who sold
CLAIMS and cookies, to the fine people at
the hotel, who always took his yacht
in place Of the rest. As for him-I'Ve
a notion he might have made a good
picture. He was as dark as an Indian,
and as tall and 1.-the. He could swim
the farthest, and pull the strongest oar;
and as for leaping and wrestling no
one could begin with him. There was
a rich, dark red in the brown cheek,
and when he smiled, it was "A pretty
sight-such white teeth, and such q
strong mouth, with the laugh deepen
ing his brown eyes.
John had always been my friend he
used to take me out in the yacht when
he went with Joe, my brother, and
sbOW Atte away On LIS fdGkGb anu bueu
when grew older he was the same
kind friend-for JOe's wife died, and he
left me the housekeeper, and John used
to come In, when Joe was gone on q
cruise to the cod-fisheries, and bring in
armfuls of wood and in the Winter
make the paths, and sit down by the
fire, when the Winter nights were bad,
and talk with me and in Summer he
used often to come in with a word of
Joe and a kind talk with Charlie and
me-(that was before Charlie was large
enough to go with his father in his
trips land I used to feel kind of sis
/ terly love for him. He was pretty
much alone his mother died, and he
lived alone with old Nancy Bell, his
aunt, a cross old woman-but she took
/ good care of his home, and 1t was all
/ the home she had on earth.
| The IrYinghams were the richest peO-
pie who lived In the village. To be
/ sure they only came there Summers,
/ but the family had always lived there
/ in the old 6ne house, with It's great
/ pGrk and lawn, and hOt-houses, which
| father, before he died, used to be 30
proud of-foE he was gardener there

CALIFORNIA; REACTION AEALYzED
The official returns Of the California
election prove couclusiYely that the
boasted "reaction" in that State was
simply no reaction at all. The Repub-
hcans have a majority of two on joint
ballot in the Legislature, thus securing
a Republican Senator. The leaders Of
the Union party qnarreled on the ques-
tion of Governor, and the result was,
that fourteen thousand Republican
voters refused to vote either way, and
allowed the election to 60 by de-
fault, thus eleCting Haight, Democrat,
by 5,655. The Democrats polled 962
votes less this year than in 1866, and the
Republicans pOIled 3,lO6 leEg than in
1866, which shows there are no cOnver-
sions from Republican to Democratic
doctrine. At the last election preCed-
ing the recent one, the total Democratic
vote was 35, ,5S4 this year they pollod
only "A, ,622. Last year the Republicans
polled 4,093; this year 20,057. This
shows clearly what was the matter in
California, and it also shows that in a
Presidential canvass or with judiCious
State nominations the Gioideu State is
good for at least 5000 Republican ma
iority.

We shall never have good puddings
and pies Chowders and ficasseea,

disgrace TO learn to cook. The time
may come when the daughters Of wealth
shall be obliged 10 take their stand I'm

how to bake and wash ? What Is
young woman ht for whose mother al
lows her to lie in bed till ten o'clock (;
and who when she rises, sings a song
or two. and sits down to the last new
novel? She may answer for the wife
Of a wealthy fop; and a miserable life
miserable indeed-Wiu she live. Far
better for her, no matter what her con-
dition in after life may be--whether she
marrieH fortune in gold, or fortune
in real worth-if she Is brought up TO
work. Her life, in comparison 10 one
brought up In idleness and folly
would be n season OF real enjoyment
and the influence she eXerted would be
glorious indeed. What mother VIII be
SO unwlse as to teach her daughters
that work is degrading, while lying in

A PROPER ADbIoNITIoN.--Ihe N. Y.
Tribune admonishes the Republicans
who were demoralized by the Ohio elec-

declared a vital principle, and now pro-
pose to put it by as a thing condemned
that "the fourteen Southern States (Ien-

The Cost ofPeaoe

The cost of protecting the lives and
liberties of the lOYalists of the South,
has been comparatively trihing. The
number Ofs0ldiers on duty in the South
does not exceed a full corps Of the late
army Of the Potomac. The total ez-
penses of our military establishment
for the present year will probably not
exceed $25, ,000, 900, and only about one
half of this sum may be credited to the
South Deducting from this, say two
millions, for ordinary expenses, will
leave about ten millions for eZpendi-
lures on reconstruction. This expen-
diture Is certainly not large, consider
ing the magnitude Of the work to be
done. It is necessary and it will be ben
ficial Ii is a part Of the price we are
paying for thirty years of Democratic
supremacy. 1t is the tail end Of the
cost of a Democratic rebellion. Let
US reconstruct the Government so that
the bitter cup may never again be pre-
sented to our lips.-ToJedo Blade.

WADE HAMPTON FOR IMPARTIAL
bUFFRAGE.-Wade de Hamton, Of South
Carolina, writes, in letter, to citizens
Of his state ION a late public occa-
sion, where many Of you were present.
l expressed 1Iy perfect a1tIIingness to see
Impartial suffrage established at he
South, and L believe that this opinion
is entertained not only by a large ma
jOrity Of the intelligent and rejecting
whites, but also of the same class
among the blacks. I depreCate univer-
sal suffrage, not only on general prin-
ciples, but especially in the case before
US, because deny the right Of Con-
grass to prescribe the rules Of citizen
ship in the states. The Supreme Court
has decided that a negro is not a eiti
zen of the United States, and Congress
cannot reverse that decision By an act
The states, however, are competent to
confer citizenship on the negro. We have
recognized the freedom of the blacks,
and have placed this fact beyond all
probability of doubt, denial, or recall.
Let as recognise az The same frank man
ner, and as fully, their political rights.
For myself, confess that am perfectly
willing to see a constitution adopted By
our state comforting the elective fran
chise on the negro, on precisely the
same terms as it is TO be exercised by
the white man, guarding against the
abuse Of this privilege By establishing
a slight educational and property quail

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.-The inventory
which has been published Of Mr.. Lin
coins estate at the time Of his death,
disclOses the fact that nearly all he had
was invested in Government securities.
His interest was thus voluntarily and
deliberately identified with that Of his
country. All the property he had, all
salaries received during office, above
his current expenditures, were loaned
to the Government, and stalzed upon it's
success. No more conclusive evidence
Of his single-hearted and guileless de-
votion to his country could be adduced
than this simple fact. How honorably
it contrasts with the records Of those
men, who under false and hollow pro-
fessions for the Constitution, decried the
Government credit, refused to advance
it money, discouraged others from do
ing so, and directed their investments
in such a way as to reflect on the sound
ness and honesty Of the National Gov
ernment.
