FACTS VERSUS FIGURES.

The October report of the national
debt made the footings Of the "blessing'
appear some six or seven millions less
than the footings Of the September state
mcnt. Such were the figures. What of
the facts? The national debt has IN
creased, according to McCulloch's show
ing, within one year, more than thirty
FIVE millions. The people have paid into
the National Treasury, since We have had
fpeace0 such peace NEARLY eight
cen hundred millions in currency, and
now, in the fourth year of this peace ("
with this four hundred millions of in-
come still kept up, we are really thirty
five on forty millions more in debt this
year than last.
Here is where the wool is pulled over
the eyes Of the people. All the debt
now, except the grcenbacks and gold GER
tifcates on deposit, is paying coin inter-
est, and that is where the extra tax
comes in. Every extra dollar Of coin In
terest called for, is equal to thirty or for
ty per cent. increase of currency interest,
and that is the secret Of the actual in
crease OF the debt for where the inter-
est roll is made heavier quarterly, there
in lies the additional burthen upon the
backs Of the people. But this is not all,
The present debt, call it only two thou
sand seven hundred millions if you like,
is to be added to by new claim upon
the people. No less than four thousand
millions and upwards, Of demands, have
been presented to the Court Of Claims at
Washington, by loyal sufferers" in the
late war, and up to this time no less than
three thousand millions have been allow
ed, promising to bring up the national
debt Of the United States to some seven
thousand millions of dollars But the
story is not all told yet The State debts,
which are not taken into consideration In
the above astounding sum Of human woe
and human misery, foot up three hum
Of the South. Adding these, the debts
Of the Northern States, to the national
debt, with the claims before the Court at
Washington, which have already been de-
cided to be valid, and we have an incon-
ceivable aggregate of pecunIary obliga-
tions TO carry, which is represented by
the sum of over seven thousand millions
of dollars
Good Godl Are the people of this
country absolutely demented2 Do they
not see the brink of the precipice before
them? Are they blind or are they mad ?
The very lowest rate of taxation-town,
county, State and national-cannot be
less than FIVE hundred millions Of dollars
per year, and the cost Of the army and
the United States civil list demands at
least one hundred and fifty millions more;
and it is proposed to make the salary of
the new President one hundred thousand
q year. Is this the last of the great
American Republic? Are we on the eve
of a political and social volcano as dire
ful as the late physical one which shook
one half the globe ?-Nei0 York Dag

DEAcOg HITCHCOCK.

In DR.. Alfred Booths "reminiscences OF
Springfield, Mass, occurs the foIlowing z
account of Deacon Hitchcock
''Born in 1722, In North Main street
region, he removed, while young man,
into the eastern part OF town, now known
as South Wilbraham married in l643.
and was the first deacon Of the church
there, continuing in Office many years
He is well remembered by Hon. Oliver
b. Morris, as occupying the deaeon's seat
at meetings, his whitened locks giving
him quite venerable appearance. Dur
ing a long life he was of wonderful
strength, agility and endurance, and had
he lived in the palmy days of Greece, he
would have been a worthy competitor in
the games Of those days. 1t is related of
him that on one occasion, man riding By
the field where he was at work, and boast.
ing of the speed of his horse, was chal.
lenged by the deacon, who said he could
run to Springfield quicker, on foot, than
the horse with bis rider could. The race
resulted in the triumph of the deacon /;

would lift cart-load of hay, by getting
his shoulders under the axle, in stoop-
ing posture, and throw an empty cart over
with one hand, by taking hold Of the end
of the axle-trce. When loading grain in
cart, he would take bag by his teeth,
and with swing and the aid of push
with the knee, throw it into tho cart. He
had double teeth in front, and would hold
ten-penny nail by them and break it off
with his fingers. He used to say he did
not know man he could not whip or run
away from! The day he was seventy
years old, he remarked to his wife, that
when they were first married he was wont
to amuse her by taking down his hat with
his toes, and added II wonder if | could
do it now 2" Thereupon he jumped from
the floor, took off the hat with his toes,
and came down on his feet like cat,
hung up the hat on the nail, turned to the
table, asked blessing, and ate of the re.
past then ready.

FELL From GRACE.-Old Billy
had attended great revival and, with
many others, been converted and baptized.
Not many weeks after one of his friends
met him reeling home with a considerable
brick in his hat.
"Hello, Billy" said a friend, az
thought you had joined church"
$50 I did," answered Billy, making a
desperate effort to stand steady, $50 did,
and would have been good Baptist if
they had not treated me so everlasting
mean at the water. Didn't you ever hear
about it 7"
Never did"
"Well you see, when we cum to the
baptizing place, thar was we and rich old
squire Joe Smith, to be dipped at the
same time. Well, the parson took the
squire in first, but I didn't mind that
much, as I thought 'twould be just as
good when I cum SO he led him in, and
after dippin' him he raised him nifty

PAR MOBILE FRATRUM. Wherever
the Democratic party has encountered
defeat, the cause is attributable in a
measure TO certain dead weights in the
party resting upoa it like nightmare.
It's Executive head is an incubus upon its
body. Belmont, President Of the Nation
al Committee, has secretly and dishonest
" used his position to the prejudice of the
party. He has not taken solitary step
in the advancement of its interests. The
party suffered untold evil at his hands,
and the sooner it kicks him out and puts
an honest man in his stead, the better for
it and the country. Nor is the New York
World, whilst protesting much zeal in
the cause, whit better. That paper
tried to sell the party ia the beginning of
the contest. A pimp of the bonded oil
garchy, it would sell the party to the devil
for mess Of pottage.
Belmont, with all his bloated crew
the gamblers upon party chance, and Jug
glers at New York Boards, with the
World as trash thrown in, were opposed,
first, to the nomination and secondly to
the election of Mr.. Seymour. To-day
they secretly rejoice in their hearts at the
probability of his defeat. He is not to
be used as fool by themj hence their
antipathy to him. Constitution.

IMMIGRATIoN.--The statistics of the
foreigners who have landed on our shores
during the last year disclose some new
features. Formerly the Irish were by
far the most numerous class of emigrants.
Last year they only numbered 65, ,134,
and the Germans 1T ,591. The English
were more than one-half the number of
Irish, having reached 83,912. Of all
other nations, the total was 29, ,294, max
ing in all 242,731a immigrants. The IN
creased emigration of North Germans is
said to have arisen from their dissatisfac-
ton with the Prussian rule. An immense
exodus of peasants, many of them in COM
Portable circumstances, is reported from
Hesse, the cause being the great increase
in taxation. The Commissioners of En-
igration have exposed system of selling
passage to emigrants in Europe at prices
above the actual rates. Most instances
of this fraud occurred in France and Ger
many, chiefly in Havre--none in great
Britain, and only one in Ireland,
