"Old Thad' said he was glad at the defeat
Of the republicans in Pennsylvania, because
of their cowardice in lodging the issue Il
negro suffrage. Yet, in avoiding that issue as1
a local question, they came within thousand
votes Of carrying the State. What does hS'
think Of New York, where the rsdical test 81
universal negro suffrage was put into the
party platform as State measure, and where
the results are like those of . tornado tearing
up everything by the roots? What does "Old

A Proposition to GSliternsc the National
Debt.


Some time sgo proposition was made by
certain capitalists TO pay Of the national debt
BY subscription. That was soon dropped
Wo have better plan now. We propose
thu, the bondhcliers shall voluntarily surren-
der their bonds e tie government, and that
day be appointed when a grand bonfire shall
be made with them 10 front Of the capital at
Washington or in Ia, City Hall park, New
York, amid the crowds o. patriots who make
tho sacrifice We have some fifty thousand
dollars 10 Central Park stock, ard may be
nearly hundred thousand ia United States
bonds, which we are willing TO devote TO this
object what magnificent spectacle this
would be We should not lose by IL; we
should save the whole amount in few years
through reduced tarl,ion. Such an instance
Of elevated patriotism would be without a
parallel, and future ages to all time would
wonder and praise ua That would be inn
mortality worth having. The remarkable
patriotism and self-denial of Peter Bismarck
Sweeney would be eclpsed. Who will second
our proposal? Who will bring their bonds and
lay them on the altar Of their country for the
couniry's good?

Reported Forthcoming Views Of the Prcsi-
dent ON Our NntIonnl Kinnncas.


The Washington correspondents report that
President Johnson is going to spread himself
on the subject Of our national finances in his
forthcoming message to Congress. We have
some curiosity TO know Ibis views. i. Is gem
orally supposed the Cabinet Of President,
and Of course The Secretary Of the Treasury
is included. agree with their chief on ques-
tions OF public policy. Now, Mr. McCulloch
is known to favor the national banks, the bond
holders and oil The financial measures Of the
Chase radical party, while Mr.. Johnson, II wo
rightly remember, once gave the national bank
and bondholding oligarchy severe thrust by
adverting 70 the governing power Of the re-
public being transferred from three hundred
thousand slavehcldeu TO three hundred
thousand bcndholders and moneyed oligar-
cbists We shall look with much interest,
therefore, for the appearance Of the Presidents
message and Secretary McCuilsch's report
side by side. II will be interesting 10 com

WASTING PowDER--1he democracy, in their
salutes over the late election results as great
democratic victories. The people are moving
for something higher and better than the

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1867-11-07

IL was supposed that after the adjournment OF
Congress last summer the President would set
TO work and reconstruct his Cabinet He did
make beginning with the removal Of STAN
ton; but stopped there to await the results of
the Northern October elections. After those
elections complete sweep of the old Cabinet
members was anticipated; but then, upon
locking carefully into the matter, Mr.. johnson
thought 1t would be better to await the re-
suits OF the New York November election.
Now that these results are before him we have
surely the right to expect that he will do some
thing. Let him remember that in waiting,
first for the roads to dry, and next for the
leaves to fall, and then for the SHOWS to pass
of, and then for the foods to abate before
moving upon Bull run, the enemy gave
Mcclellan the slip; and that so it went on until,
from this unfortunate weakness Of waiting and
waiting, when he at last caught the rebel army,
he caught Tartar.

yellow oChrO Mino near Germantown.

Tho Dayton Journal says: There is a
bluff bank, Of considerable extent, along
Twin Creek east Of Germantown, IN this
county, known ever siuoe the settlement Of
the place as yellow Banks" 1t has been
particularly noted for very bright yellow
deposit which seemed 10 be combination
Of mineral and clay and we have heard that
it had been successfully used with limo,
eto., Tor a waeh for buildings and fences.
A gentleman named Dubois, some time
since became the owner OF tho farm on
which this famous Yellow Bank " is loca
ted, and believing t,at the material we have
described was of more value than was gen.
erally supposed, he determined to invosti-
gate the matter, and submit the material to
chemical test.
When engaged in making q slight exca-
walton on the rugged hil side, overhangiug
Twin Creek, we learn that Mr., Dubois found
the terminus of what has proved to be, on
submitting it to tho proper test, large
vein of gcllotc ochre, We have not seen tho
material, but we are assured that it has
proved to be a vein OF an excellent quality
of crude yellow oohre aud Mr.. Dubois has
procured tho machinery for working tue
vein which promises to be iuexhaustible.
Some two thousand pounds per day are now
being removed, and the proprietor has been
offered n fair price per pound for all he

Emerson on "The Baby"

Que of the sweetest and prettiest Of En-
erson's latest writings is the following:
If" Who knows not the beautiful group Of
baby and mother, sacred ia nature, sacred
also in the religious associations of half
the globe? Welcome to the parents is the
puny little struggler, strong in his weak
ness, his little arms more Irresistible than
the eOldier's, his lips. tonohed with per-
suasion which Chatham aud Pericles In
manhood had not. The small deposit asks
so little that all nature and reason are on
his side. His ignorance is more charming
than all knowledge, and his little sins
more bewitching than all virtue. All day,
between his three or four sleeps, he coos
like pigeon house. sputters and spurns
and puts Oh faces of importance aud when
he fasts, the little Pharisee fails not TO
sound the trumpet before him. Out of
blocks, thread-spools, cards and checkers
he will build his pyramid with the gravity
,of Palladio. With an acoustic apparatus
of whistle and rattle he explores the laws
of sound. But chiefly like his senior
couutrymen, the young American studies
new aud speedier modes of transportation
Mistrusiing the cunning Of his small legs,
he wishes to fide on tlfc necks aud shoul
dcrs Of all flesh. The small enchanter
nothing can withstand-no seniority of
age, no gravity of character uncles aunts,
cousins, grandsiresi grandmas-all fall an
easy prey be conforms TO nobody all
conform 10 him, all caper and make mouths,
and babble and cbirfup 10 him, on the
strongest shoulders he rides, aud pulls The
hair Of hureled heads."
