TOO MUCH THUNDER.

81 HOO MUCH III UNDER.
The New York Citizen thinks the
threats emanating from many of the
present leaders of the Democratic par
ty are at least injudicions, ii not posi-
lively damaging to it's prospects. 1t
consoles itself, however, with the reffec-
ton that they are insignificant and
meaningless, and will be taken by the
public IT'S the harmless outburst of ex-
cited feeling on the part of men who
are strangers to the dignity and virtue
of self control. The Democratic party
invariably performs less than its threat
ems" quoth the Citizen, and it would
have the people believe that there is no
ground of fear because of the intelnper-
ate words it uses. Should the people
give the Democratic party power to
perform the half it threatens, the next
saddest chapter in our National History
would soon have to be written. 1t ''in-
variably performs less than it threat
ems, not for want of disposition and
will, but for lack of ability and oppor-
tunity. The southern wing of that
party threatened secession, made their
opportunity, threw all the energy of
desperation into the bloody conflict of
wears. The circumyention and exhaus-
ton. of their power, was their failure. =
Does any sane man doubt that they
would not have accomplished the entire
revolution they had in view, if they
could have rallied sufficient force around
their standard of revolt ? They threa-
ened to deprive the world of cotton,
and did all. they could to fulfill the
threat. Their own absolute need of
of money and supplies, which could be
obtained only by the sale of their great
staple, was all that prevented the full
and complete execution of their threat.
The northern wing, at the beginning
of the rebellion, and all during it's pro-
gress, threatened blood and thunder,
and all sorts of mischief, if the govern
ment should taken mp arms, and per-
sist in using them, for its own preser-
walton and defense. And to the extent
of it's power the Northern wing exerted
itself in aid of its Southern brethren.
If the leaders could have carried the
masses with them, our civil war would
have ended in favor of Southern trea-
son, or would be raging to-day. 1t is
needless to multiply evidence to the
fact that the Democratic party invaria-
bly, does its utmost to carry ito threats
into execution; and if it but half sue
ceeds, or if it entirely fails, its efforts
to accomplish u bad purpose are neces-
sarily attended with evils of no COM
mon magnitude. 1t cannot be trusted.
A party that has hanging loose around
it threats of reputation, notification,
and revolution, is not n party to which
the reins of government can be entrust-
ed in great national crisis like the
present. -

To the Democratic charge that the
Republican party are in favor of high
taxes, let the truthful reply be ever
ready, that within the year, a reduction
oftaxation to the amount of $67, 200, 900
has been made, and more than 10000
articles of product and manufacture
have been withdrawn from the tax
lists.

A boy living in Rome, Ohio, recently
picked up small bright stone from the
grade in the town, which proved to be
valuable. A Cincinnati firm offered
him $40O, then $3.50 and finally $475
for it. He took it to another establish
ment, however, who said it was either
a ruby OF a diamond, and very valuable
probably worth seven thousand dollars.
He sent it to New York to be disposed

THE PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.

As we indicated day or two SINCE.
the public debt statement for October
LIST, is extremely favorable. If we ex-
clude from the actual debt the bonds
loaned to the Pacific Railroad, the de-
crease in the total debt during Septem-
Der is So, 200,590. The amount of
railroad bonds issued was "a 1926, 900.
If we are to consider them as II part of
the debt, though they are only contin
gently so, the decrease is 1870, 594. =
The total debt, less cash in the Treas
sury is 1854, 643,71S, From this
should be deducted railroad bonds to
the amount of 500, 634, 900 leaving the
amount of bills payable" only 49,
495, O09. So Mr. McCulloch gives n
very fiat contradiction to the ieremiad
of Mr.. Delmar This statement as com
pared with that of the previous month,
shows the following
INCREASE.
Five twenty bond, 1862, $50
Flac tiOnal currency. / ,131 ,395
Three per cent certificates, $685. 900
Total, $7,S1S,945
DECREASE.
SIX per cent compound interest notes, 81, O54 900
Bonds of Is47 and lS49, 300 $50
Five per cent treasury notes, 10000
Gold certificates, 4 ,g35, 800
Seven.thirty notes. t,113,000
Total, slO.493, $40
Deduct the increase of $7,818,945,
and the decrease of the public debt is
$2,674, 724. To this add the increase
of cash in the Treasury (S2,615, $685.
and the total is IS, 100, 594 The bonds
issued to the Pacific Railroad compan-
les during the month amounted to 81
800, 600 The net decrease of the debt
during the month, including the bonds
issued to the railroad companies, was
$97O,594
At the same time the Secretary an
nounces that the disbursements for the
present will be lighter than those of
September, and he anticipates a hand
some decrease on the LIST of November.
The Treasury's own increase of coin
since the first of September, is nearly
nine and quarter million dollars, in
dependent of the payment ofthe inter
est on the ten forties and sales of coin
by Mr.. Van Dyck, amounting to about
two and one-third millions. The re-
ceipts from customs during the past
week were larger than the receipts for
any other week in the past year. The
custom revenues in New York city
alone, it will be seen, is greater than
three times the aggregate receipts at
the other ports mentioned. New York
from September 81 to 80, 81, 634, 452 !;
Boston, 1926, O13; Philadelphia, $685.
Ais Baltimore. 1888, 800; San Fran
cisco, from August "a to 30. 1911, 191.
Total receipts, $6,0O5, 432.
This, result, so far as it goes, is a
splendid indication of the Republican
policy of retrenchment in expenses,
and curtailment in taxation. We are
told that we must keep on the heavy
taxation or fall behind in the debt
The result proves that the relief afford
ed to our manufacturers and trades

concluded to offer the Estates and
Uaion'' for six months, during the
campaign, at the following rates:
For a club of twelve new subscri-
bers, $500 or 75cts each an ADVANCE.
For a club of "a new subscribe rs,
$500 or 75cts each, in advance, and
one copy for the person getting mr.
the club.
Our expenses for publishing the

increased, in consequence of charging

obligations to cur democratic friends
throughout the county, if they viii
make an effort to enlarge its eircula-
ton 500 or 900 copies. 1t eau be

Another severe whipping case in one
of the public Schools of Boston il re-
ported. The boy tainted from the
fleets of the punishment.
The Mansfield Herald says that on
Wednesday afternoon a telegraphic
dispatch was placed under the door of
the house of Mr. j. b. Mercer, a resi-
dent of that city, announcing that q
brother Of Mrs. Mercer, who resides 10
Washington county, Pa, had been kill
ed, and that her presence was desired
at the funeral. On her arrival at the
home o. her brother. she found him
hale and hearty. Thinking that she
had been deluded for the purpose of
robbing, she telegraphed to Mayor
Slutz to send a policeman to watch the
house until her return, which , as ac-
cordingly done FL ,wever, Oh her re-
turn, she discovered that the upper
rooms of the house had been entered,
aud SITS in gold, and greenbacks to
the amount of 5000 or $500 hal been
taken. Suspicion fell on a servant girl
Of bad character, living in the house.
and on being threatened with arrest, she
confessed that the dispatch was written
by "her man." living in Chicago, and
that after the departure Of Mrs. Mer-
Ger he bad obtained an entrance ia the
house and secured the money. She &C
knowledged that the gold was in her
possession, but that the man had ia
ken the greenbacks, and offered to re
store it, and upon these conditions was
released. She left on the train for the
East on Sunday.

GENERAL GRANT.

General Grant is upon his election
eering tour to-day. We shall see what
enthusiasm his presence inspires
NeuO York Express.
We have seen it here in Cincinnati.
The General arrived upon the Little
Miami Railroad on Wednesday after
noon; but, although it was known long
in advance when he was coming, he
met no reception whatever. He passed
through our streets, with his family, as
unnoticed as any private citizen. There
was no public interest excited by his
presence; no desire to see him. He
received no acclaims, met NJ commit
tees, inspired no cheers, and evoked no
enthusiasm from his partisans. Moth
ing as cold and frigid was ever before
heard of In the reception of a Presi-
Dental candidate. Except that his
name is at the head of the Radical
journals, we should not know in the
West that he was running for Presi-
dent. His nomination has literally
fallen still-born in all this region. No
ratification meetings have been held,
and no organizations have been formed
in his support. 1t is admitted by the
Radicals that his selection was a ter
rible mistake; that he has none of the
elements of popularity which they sup
posed he possessed. His electione r
ing tour has brought out this fact in
the strongest light.-Enquirer.
From indications in every. section
of the country, General Grant will ut
terly fail to combine the strength Of
his party. While by his perseverance
and logged persistence, backed by a
half million of men and all the ener-
gies of the Government, he finally
succeeded in compelling General Lee,
With an effective army of forty or fifty
thousand men, to surrender, all the
balance of his military was a
signal failure. As to his capacity for
the management of the civil affairs OF
this great country, he has repeatedly
admitted his incompetency. He pos
seses no qualification that renders
him fit to administer a Government
like ours and if Mr.. Pendleton, or
any other fit man, is nominated, will be
beaten by a greater majority than that
of Pierce over General Scott.

Veto Of North CarOIina Bill.

To the House of representatives: .
In returning to the House of Repre-
sentatives, in which it originated. a bill
entitled san act to admit the States Of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Louisiana and Florida to represen
tatiou in congress-" I do not deem it
necessary to state at length tho reasons
which constrain me IT, withhold my ap-
prevail. 1 will not, therefore, under
take at this time to reopen the discus
sion upon the grave constitutional ques-
IONS involved in the act of March I'd
1867, and the acts supplementary
thereto, in pursuance of which il is
claimed in the preamble Of this bill
these States have formed and adopted
constitutions of State Government. NOR
will I repeat the obligations contained
in my message of the 10th inst, refurh-
ing without my signature tho bill to
admit to repre- sentation the State of Ar
kansas, and which are applicable to the
pending measure
Like the bill recently passed In re-
ference to Arkansas, this bill super
cedes the plain aud simple mode pre-
scribed by the Constitution for the adj
mission to seats in the respective
Houses of Senators and Reprcse ntatives
from the several States i asumes au-
thority over six States Of the Union,
which has never BEEN delegated to Con-
gress or is even warranted by previous
unconstitutional Legislation upon the
subject of restoration. 1t imposes con-
ditious width are in d~erosation of the
equal rights of the States, and is found
ed upon a theory which is subversiye of
the fundamental principles of the Gov
nment.
In the case of Alabama it violates
the plighted faith of Congress by fore
ing upon that State a Constitution
which was rejected by the people, ac-
cording to the express terms of an act
of Congress requiring that u majority
Of the registered electors should vote
upon the question of its adoption.
For th-se objections, and mlny 9th
ers that might be presented. I cannot
approve tn bill, and therefore return
it for the action of Congress, required
in such cases by the Federal Constiu-
ton.
