Grants Views.

There is no longer any doubt as to Gen
eral Grants views ofthe new Reconstruc-
ton bill. Representative Orth, of Indiana,
said to him, in presence of a large compa
ny, at the Speakers reception, that the
House would put iie bill through right
away. General Grant Immediately replied,
that he sincerely hoped not; that be saw
no necessity for il. and that he should be
very sorry to see it pass. A prominent
Republican Senator speaking of the bill TO-
day, said that, II il passed the House by a
strong enough majority to show the sense
Of that body, there would, perhaps, be no
necessity for its passage in the Senate. The
inference from this language was, that the
real object in introducing the measure was
to stimulate the President in the execution
sf the existing Reconstruction laws.

penditures, in every branch of the service

the sacred debt of pensions to our disabled
soldiers and sailors, and the families Of our
fallen defenders it viii compel the collec-
ton of our revenue by the officers of this
administration, thus placing scores of mil

now worse than lost; II will reduce taxation
largely, and relieve our struggling indus
tries, as well as tax payers generally, from
every possible burden, consistent with the
maintenance of our national honor; and
have the fullest faith that II viii agree upon
q just and acceptable financial policy upon
all other questions, that Will neither Dis

wrong creditor or citizen. Besides this, II
will embody and speak the national voice
on the fullest protection and vindication OF
the rights Of every American citizen, ma
tive-born or naturalized, at home OF
abroad.
The staple argument OF our opponents is
to be the charge OF "negro supremacy
They " III seek by this to dsrkcn counsel
and to invoke and excite prejudice. But
the issue is too plain and palpable for them
to mystify or misrepresent. They demand
that the men of the South who used the
power of their State governments to organ
lie the Confcderscy, to involve the country
in long and bloody war, to hurl the
armies OF the rebellion against the defend
ers OF the Union, and to carry anguish and
desolation to million hearth stones, shall
be reinstalled in supreme and undisputed
power in the governments of these States,
and zoe demand that they shall not be, but
that loyal men shall rule the States that
loyal sacrifices saved. On this issue, 10

Democratic Reform .

The Democrats, who control the
New York Assembly, open their cam
paign Tor retrenchment and reform
by doubling the number Of officers
(and s.osts) of the Assembly, and by
passing bill authorizing the Comp
troller of New York City to distrib
ute half a million Of dollars among
the poor. The half million among
the poor is bait to catch votes. Most
Of the half million will stick to the
palms of the Copperhead gentlemen
selected to distribute the aims. A
more spurious humbug than Demo
cratic professions of retrenchment,
honesty and economy never was
passed by a counterfeiter upon the
public.

The Indianapolis Journal says that evel

sionally presented him with clean shirt
Brick has taken great interest in Indiana
politics. Finding that the nomination oil
Mr.. Hendricks, for Governor, was fore
gone conclusion, the Wisconsin beast af-
fects tobe greatly delighted thereat, and
eulogizes that gentleman in as finely round
ed phrases as his brutal nature is capable
Of inditing.
But there seems, after all, to be an under
current of malice in the praise Pomeroy be
slows upon Mr. Hendricks. Knowing,
doubtless, that Mr.. III Is q bondholtler,
and also the owner ofnational bank stock,
he insists that The platform on which the
candidate is TO be placed, shall be squarely
in favor of reputation, so that If success
full in the political race he must lose his
bonds and bank stock, or, to save them,
his pecunary interest must be conserved
by the defeat of himself and his party.
Brick remarks on this subject:
But one thing would crafty the De-
mocrscy everywhere more than Senator
Hendricks nOmination-and that is his
election. With him atthe head Of the tick
ct and platform:
"For Reputation
"F0r White Mans Government
"For Equal Taxation
"For an immediate and complete res
toration of the Union
1.-THE Indiana Democracy will win
"They want no policy candidates in that
State as they have in Wisconsin, and if the
working Democrats are permitted to talk
out they will have none"
This is absolutely cruel How can Mr..
Hendricks be expected TO heartily support
a platform having reputation for its center
plank, as long as lie is bound in five-tweDty
bonds!

The Bond Question.

In the debate in the House on the FIVE
twenty question, Mr.. Blaine, of Maine
called attention to the fact that the proviso
in the act Of June 3oth, 1864, absolutely
prohibited the issue Of greenbacks to the
exten. necessary to redeem the bonds.
That proviso declared that the total amount
of United States notes issued or to be is
sued shall never exceed $iO0, 900, 900. This
proviso was part of the contract on which
the loan was negotiated, and Mr.. Blaine
maintained that II could no more be re-
scinded or altered than the loan act itself.
1t was, then, absolutely impossible under
law and under contract to expand the
greenbacks more than forty millions beyond
the amount now in circulation.

about as large as the total vote in

the negative vote is added, the total
