Who Created the Debt.

Nearly the entire amount of the present
vast debt represents the stealinga and prof
legacy Of the party in power. All over the
country can be found persons poor before
the war, but who suddenly became rich by
stealing outright or through the agency Of
fat contrnots with the Government. Who
nre the men that robbed the public treas
ury when the 'life of the nation" hung in
the balances2 We call on the stand of Re
publican witnesses to answer. In 1862,
Henry L. DAVE n radical member Of Con-
gress from Massachusetts, said:
THE gentleman must remember that in
the first year ofRepublican administration,
which come into power upon professions of
retrenchment and reform. there is indubi-
table evidence (evidence that cannot be
doubted) abroad in the land they have
pltmdered The public treasury well nigh in that
single year as much as the entire current
yearly expenses of the Government during
the preceding administration.
John p. Hale, q Radical Senator from
New H%amshire, and subsequently Minister
TO Spain, in April, 1862, made the following
declaration from his seat in the Senate:
81 tell you, sir. 1 believe, and I declare
IL upon my responsibility rs n Senator of
the United States, hint NE liberties Of NE
country are IN greater danger to-day from The
~corrUptions dndJro1n he proaigdcy praotised
in the various departments of Government
than they are from the open enemy in the
field"
Don Piatt, one of the smost prominent
Radicals in Ohio, editor OF the Mack a
Cheek Press, in his paper of June ], 1867,
gave his testimony as follows: |....
From the hour of his Iincoln's) FIRST
inauguration up to that Of his death, the
thieves wereall in Office. IL was impossi-
Bile almost TO lay hands on an official and
not touch n man made rich by his position,
This vas especially the case with the mon
eyed offices. Honest men stood aghast ut
the impunity with which tho impunity went
on. All cries of shame seemed %unnvailing.
All deposition was thrown away. Thieves
were turned out to be succeeded by thieves,
and colossal fortunes we're made in an
hour. The amiable old President cracked
jokes over the ruscality, and said that in
his appointments he had to run his hand
into n sack of fifty snakes 10 find ono eel.
These gentleman are all Radical witness
es and their testimony goes TO show how
the money of the Government wns stolen
to limo the pockets of the ~scalawags who,
like vultures, fattoned upon the miseriss OF
the country. This class of men are the
most anxious for the success of the radical
party, that they may continue their whole
sale plumber of the public treasury.

HoRRBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN TESNEs-
sEE.-The New York Tribune publishes the
following statement:
Lieut.. Brown, ofthe FreedmRn's Bureau,
has made a report showing that during the
year ending on the LIST Of July last; the civil
authorities took action on 1872 murders, and
that before the 25th of August the number
hid been increased TO 179. In 10 of these
cases the civil authorities did not attempt
TO bring the perpetrators TO punishment.
Eleven out of the l79 murders are shownto
have been committed by blacks, leaving 1888
that were committed by whites upon whites
and blacks. Seventy-three of the persons
murdered are shown to have been whites,
and l06 to have been blacks.
This horrible state o fafiairs, if it exists
can bo attributed to but one cause.-the
radical Brownlow policy Of governing Ten
nessee. II is the fruit of disfranchisment,
confiscation, outlawry and the rule, of a
negro militia. If this is the fruit of Brown.
lowism, as the Tribune describes it, sensi-
BILE men ought to be of the opinion that the
ooner ii is abolished the better it is for the
afflicted people, Democratic rule in Ten.
nessee would soon mend this bloody con.
dition of things.

The Albany Argus tells how n radical
procession was made mp in that city: "All
through the line on Thursday night small
boys were sandwichod among men. One
of these boys was unfortunate enough to be
discovered by his mother, who unceremon-
iously hauled him from the procession, and
soundly thmshed him In the presence of a
crowd of witnesses. Both men and boys
were hired to carry torches, at pricesNnry-
ing from 80 cents to 81 eachl We know
this to be the fact, not merely from general
report, but nom the fact that several news
boys and paper folders belonging to this
Office were paid for thor services. An
amusing instance ofthe fact is vouched for
by a republican who witnessed il, and who
is too fond of a joke to keep it. He was
standing on the American hotel steps, while
the procession passed that point, convers-
ing;with another republican, when one ofthe
torch-bearers stepped out from the pro-
cession and extinguished his light. Upon
being demonstrated with by one ofthese re-
publicans, the delinquent justified his pro-
ceedings by r%emarking that che thought
he had walked far enough for ten shillings r.

PERSONAL. Mrs. Jay Cooke and party,
consisting of ten ladies and servants, dined
at Congress Hall, yesterday, on their way
west, - Democrat.
The millions that Mr.. jay Cooke made in
negotiating the Federal bonds during the
war, through the relationship to the Treas
ury Department enables Mrs. jay Cooke,
her ten ladies and servants, TO travel, in
elegant case and luxury while the masses OF
the people of the United States are toiling
to pay what Mr.. G. took for his share oftho
spoils. No doubt If a vote had been taken
ON the train that carried Mrs. Jay Cooke,
ten ladies and servants, every lady would
have recorded her vote for Grant and Col
fax. Such people can afford to ride and
vote for Grant aud the party that helps
to make them rich at the expense of the
labor of the country.

When it becomes necessary for the
Radicals to carry IN election by the aid of
a few hundred thousand dollars, it isalways
easy to explain where the two hundred and
Atty millions Of dollars, stolen by Radical
officials each year, according TO Commits
sioner Wells, may be found.

From tho Utica Observer

John A. Dix, who has been everything
politically; who went from Free Soilism
to jeff Davis-B Breckenridge Democracy to
get and keep the New York Post Office and
from the position of Breckenridge leader in
this State over to Radicalism when the war
broke out, TO get n military office; and who
was never consistent in anything except his
steady pursuits of official po%sitions-is out
in q letter revealing anew his envy
and hatred of Gov. Seymour. This man,
who is ever seeking office, hates most
heartily the nobler citizen whose refusal or
reluctant acceptance of oficial honors was
always a reproach to the noisy and often
disappointed claimant of place.

Seymour. He has always been n greedy
plnce-hunter; he has, in his time, encoun-
tered many Notifying disasters, and not
the least of these is his constant failure to
get the Democratic party to think him a
good candidate for tho Presidency. He
has seen a younger Democrat in his own
