The reader Of the daily newspaper cam
not help being impressed with the wide

This great dissatisfaction has also taken
hold of the Irish voters and prominent
Irishmen, and leading Irish Journals are
advocating the election OF the candidates
of the Republican Party. Mr. David
Barry Of Cleveland, prominent Irish
man, declared in card just published

The H3sh People an old and leading Irish
paper in this country has recently declar-

ough- going Democratic and Catholic

it uses the following language, omniou;
of Democratic disaster:

Country.

The New \ Iork Nerd(U thus sets forth
The pro porous results attending TIE GER
taiiity of the election OF General Grant !:
'!With the announcement of the ticket
aud platform Of the Democratic National
Convention gold began to 90 up and our
national securities began to go down.
Tie Eerlnulit election checked this up

Maine electiofi ;lle Wall street gold gam
bicrs. operating for a rise. have been re-
duced to very narrow margin OF Inci-
dental fluctuations. There was some de
gree of uneasiness among the holders of
the five -twenties and ten forties, but it
has ceased to exist. There were some
nisgivings among capitalists and mer-
chants touching the safety OF money in
vestments, involving in their profits or
renavment the hazards of Il revolution
in our financial system, as one OF the
probable consequences Of this years po-
ftical elections for the next Presidency
and the next Congress but all such mis-
givings since the Maine election seem to
have disappeared, Among all our finan-
cial and business classes a sense OF securl-
ty appears to be felt in the future which
can only be explained upon the basis of a
prevailing confidence in General Grant S
election.
But why this confidence in General
Grant? 1t is because from his proposition
for peace-''Let us have peace the
people believe that with his election there
will be peace. He doe: not contemplate
any violent collision nor any embarrassing
conflict with Congress; he has no idea
of any attempt to upset the Southern re-
con truction acts Of Congress according

ged again upon the issues of 1864 and
1866. have rallied and are rallying: as
under Lincoln, around the banner of
Grant This fact being apparent on all
sides, the conclusion is inevitable that
Giant must be triumphantly elected.
Our financial and business men see that
such is the drift of the popular tide, and
in the record and the character and con
servative ideas of General Grant they fee,
that under him the interests of the peo-
pie will be safe. that this Presidential
election will be followed by nothing like
financial panic, nor by political chaos,
but by better times assured prosperity
and substantial peace. Hence there
are no unusual excitements from day to
day in Wall street, and no apprehensions
to disturb the business operations or cal
culations of our bankers, capitalists, mer-
chants, manufacturers or agricultural
classes.

amined at the Treasury Department by
competent arithmetlcians, under the dl-
rection of Secretary McCulioch, who
have ascertained that he omitted in its
exhibit the cash balance on hand on the
3Oth of J unc last, amounting to SlO5, 900,
900, which Of course forms part OF the
resources Of the government.
He estimated the receipts at S32l ,62S,-
900, and the expenditures at S4l3 3,O0O,-
900, and omitted the balance on hand,
which. addel to the estimated receipts,
gives $426, 629, 600 Again, Deinlar esti-
mates the receipts from customs for the
six months ending on the lst OF january
1868, at $4,000, 900.
The receipts for the first three months
up to that time, ending on September 80,
have been over $40, 900, 900, and for the
six months will be at least 500. 900, 900

Mr.. Sawyer is next charged with re-

serving on the Southern Railroad Investi-
CATION Committee, when the fact is he

in in accordance with the usual custom OF

Why don't the Copperhead scribblers

SIR Il notice that the copperhead
presses of Wisconsin, are circulating some
most ridiculous falsehoods about Con
gresham Sawyer receiving some rich
little takes as they call it, in addition to
his salary. The statements would be
scarcely worthy of notice did they not
serve the intended purpose OF their authors
in deceiving the people into the belief OF
their truth, unless contradicted by those
who have a full knowledge of the facts
In order that no one shall hereafter be
imposed upon by such unprincipied serb
hlers, will state, that the story going
around, that Mr. Sawyer has drawn fourteen
pen knives at so each since he has been
in Congress, is an unmitigated faisehood
made up out ofwhole cloth. and the anthor
of the lie knew it to be such, at the mo-
ment he penned it. ! have the means
of knowing and looking into such mat
ters, and I find on inquiry that Mr.

he has been in Congress, that stands
charged to him in his Stationery account

Legislators are allowed stationery to a
limited amount, recently fixed at Sl25.
