THE NATIONAL DEHI-NO REPUDI
ALTON.
To the Editor oil the Union and Dispatch.

To the Editors Of the Union and Dispatch
In answer to the question of "Vindex,'
"why not come out fiatfooted and demand
the payment Of all the government bonds
at once? ?" we would remind him that we
are advocating what we think ought and can
be done without infringing the rights of any
of the bohd holders, whether National
banks or other parties. or violating the
faith of the government, or of repudiating
one cent of the debt. Although Congress
reserved the right in creating the National
banks of repeating the law at any time,
there was an implied contract with each
one that they would be permitted to circu-
late their notes as long as their was gov
eminent bonds to deposite as security.
There was ais a contract printed on the
face Of each bond issued that it would not
be paid before a certain fixed time. Under
the proposed plan Of paying the bonds, all
the contracts of the government, both i'm
piled and expressed, will be fulfilled, the
National banks can continue business and
all the solUent ones do a more profitable
business by banking on legal tenders than
they do now.
Let any man who can cipher to the single
rule Of three reflect a moment, while he
works out little sum. The taxes now
paid by the people to meet the interest on
the public debt and carry on the govern
ment amounts lin round numbers) to one
million dollars per day. If the bonds were
all paid off in legal tenders and the gov
eminent had the use of a thousand millions
dollars in legal tenders, on Which 1t paid no
interest, how much would the taxpayers be
relieved? This is question for the people
to discuss. 1t is high time to give up
wrangling over Radicalism, niggerism, and
all those exciting topics which engender
strife, retard reconstruction" and keep
immigration out of the State. We want
peace, quiet and industry. We want the
national debt paid-epery cent of it, and it
can be paid in the way proposed. Can it
be paid in any other way The annual
payment of the interest does not decrease
the debt one dollar.
What would be thought of the conduct
of merchant who would borrow capital
to do business on, and content himself with
making money enough each year TO pay
the interest on it or the farmer whowould
buy his land on credit and raise only
enough produce for market to pay the in
terest on the debt? Whist kind of legacy
would either leave to his family after he
had worked himself to death Every
taxpayer and every consumer of the
necessaries of life is working to just as
much purpose as either of the aboTe-
mentioned cases. Is it not time to turn
over a new leaf? Y.

viii and power Of the Northern people
they have felt the terrible results Of war
against the determined will of the free
North, and they will let Andrew johnson
revolutionize on his own account, without
any aid from them.
Andrew johnson in his coup d etat could
rely only upon the Maryland militia and a
few hundred returned Rebels residing in
Washington City. These might uphold him
for a few hours, but would waste away
before the legions of armed men who would
rush to his overthrow from every part of
the country.
BE could not carry with him in such a
purpose any man Of respectable character
in the United States. Not member of his
present Cabinet would have any part in
such a proceeding, and we doubt very
much, when the time of action arrived,
whether he could muster from the Demo
cratic outcasts, who are hanging at his
skirts, man to take charge of any depart
ment of his government. fH
We admit that all that stands between
the country and Johnsonian dictatorship,
is the Presidents utter helplessness. He
has all the malice, all the yindictiveness,
all the treaeherousness, and all the will, to
play the traitor and plunge the country
into brutal war but he lacks the means.
He lacks the ability TO name an associate In
the crime, a company of guards for has own
person, or popular approval that would
last for day. ftf

Strange ViclssiIudeS I'm the life Of n
British NObIeman's Son.

IN tut Lie 81 ~
British NObIeman's Son.
From the Decatur (nl.) Magnet. Sept. 81.
Most, if not nearly all, of our citizens
have noticed dissipated vehicle, some
what resembling a circus wagon, located
on vacant lot on North Main street, in
which resides an old and poverty.stricken
man. Some time in thespring the wagon,
propelled by couple of attenuated horses,
arrived in this city, and the old man pitched
his tent in the place mentioned, where,
through the charity of the owners, he has
since been permitted to dwell. Here he
has lived ever since, eking out an existence
by the donations of our benevolent citi-
zens, he having disposed of the horses for
a small sum.
Yesterday, F. S. Murphy, Esq, one of
our prominent lawyers, received a call
from Scotch gentleman, named Metre
gor, who, after long and weary search, had
found the individual named we have thus
described, and whom he identifies as the
youngest son Of the late Earl of Clanri-
cade, one of the wealthiest and most infu-
entail noblemen in Scotland. The story
related by Mr.. McGregoris almost marvel
GUS in its details, and would furnish the
materials for a frst-class three-volume
novel. Some forty years since, the poor old
man who has attracted the compassion Of
our citizens, was dashing and stylish Off
Ger in the Life Guards; becoming enam-
ored of beautiful girl of humble origin,
he married her in opposition to the
commands of a proud father and re-
monstrances of his equally proud elder
brother. Being disinherited and thrown
upon the world, he sold his commission,
and with his wife came to this country.
After Eve years of vicissitudes upon a
rugged farm in the Western wilds, his wife
died, and broken in spirit and sore in heart,
he relinquished his claim aud roamed
without aim or purpose over the country.
During the Mexican war he enlisted as
private soldier, and served until the close
of hostilities. Since then he has been the
companion Of rowing Indians deck
hand on steamboats,; a peddler, etc,
until his arrival in this city. By the
death of his older brother, which oc-
CURED about four months since, he
has become the possessor of estates to the
value of three thousand pounds per annum.
His good fortune, alas has come too late
PROSTATE in mind and enfeebled IN body,
he cannot realize, nor can he long enjoy,
the princely fortune 10 which he has fallen
heir Yesterday evening, in care Of Mr.
McGregor, he embarked on the eastern
train, en- route for his lordly mansion in
Inverness, Scotland Fortune smiled too
late his early love sleeps by La Belle Ri
riere, and he lives a poor wreck of has
former self--too imbecile 10 heed the
frowns or smiles of fortune. Reader, is not
truth far stranger than fiction Events
occur every day that outrival the widest
dreams of the poet or romsncist.
