Nhat RepnuIntIon Tnrea1s COST.


The American people. when they
hear the Copperhead orators bewailiug
the enormous taxes to which the public
debIic debt subjects us. should bear in
mind that of Sl26 900, 900 which we pay
annually for interest, at least three.
eighths is a tax directly forced upon
the people by the Democratic party.
During the war money had to be boT-
rowed, and we had to submit to such
terms as the money-lenders requtr-
ed. But since the armies were dis
banded there has been no ques-
ton in any part ofthe world as to the
ability of the United States to pay its
debt, and that, too, upon the ascending
scale of increased population and pro-
ductiou, with a constantly decreasing
rate of tax. Money is 10 be had in
London and in Frankfort at per cent.
upon long bonds. The United States
could borrow there at that rate if it were
not for the Democratic party. The
question in Europe is not whether the
United States can, but whether they
tcilL, pay the debt according TO the con-
tract.
So persistent, universal, malicious
and defiant have been the threats and
the efforts of the Democratic party to
keep the national credit at the lowest
possible point, that the money. tenders

any American loan at 4 per cent, re-

TO only eighty cents in European
coin. The result is that we
are now paying in fact per cent for in
terest and 3H per cent as an insurance
against repudiation of the debt by the
Democratic party. We pay $l26. 900, 600
annually for interest, when, II repudta-
tionists were sileuced, the whole out
standing debt could be taken up with a
new bond at but little over half the
\ present rate of interest. We pay fifty
millions of additional interest annually
to cover the risk that the Democratic
party will gain power and repudiate

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph publishes
a.letter from one John Dupree, negro
whose address is Irwinton, Wilkinson
county, Georgia, wherein the blacks
are advised to vote the Democratic
ticket. In commencing the letter, the
Telegraph says:
"He gives the best of counsel. and
offers upon invitation, to address the
colored people anywhere in Middle
Georgia that may desire to hear him.
Upon the first favorable OCCASION
we have no doubt the Democrats of this

will invite him to address a public
meeting at Macon. We hope, in the

Ho, ye West Virginia Democrats, who
are not willing to have your names
written on the militia roll with black
man, lest lie should be drafted instead
of you, what do you think of this I?

The wickedest reprobate, when he
approaches the portals of death, is
overtaken by repentance aud a desire
in his last moments to make some
atonement for his misspent life. Can
it be that Andrew johnson, having be-
fore him the approaching end of his
public career and oppressed with a
consciousness of the enormous mis-
chiefs wrought by hin, looking forward
to the grave that is soon to hide the
political carcass which he labored for
three years to galvanize into horrid
life and desiring that the historian
shall record his administration as not
wholly infamous,is moved 10 withdraw
from his declared position of hostility
to the reorganization by Congress of
civil government in the South on a
basis of loyalty, and TO allow re-
sumption of peace and tranquility? II
so, this simple act of duty WILL by its
great contrast with past perversity, do
something to soften the judg ment of
posterity upon this bad man, and will
be the beginning of better days for the
Republic. Happy for the fame of An
drew Johnson would it have been, and
thrice happy for the country, il he had
used the great powers reposed in him,
not for the rekindltng of treason and
the renewal of strife, but for the culti-
vation of lasting peace by the sim
pie performance of his duty. His re-
parntion, if such it be, comes late, but
not too late to be welcome.

Trade is improving, and the market

influenced by the rapid rise in gold,
which is equal to the advance on all i'm
ported goods. Worsted goods. woolen
shawls and fine fancy cassimeres and
coatfngs, are the goods most sought for,
and in domestic they are offered al com
naralively low rates, especially shawls,
witch have opened surprisingly low.

been opened today al s. 90 for best NO.
% assorted, and S6 20 for No. 1s, 6T17 by
I35 inches. In high cOlors this shawl

the No. Is drabs and blue mixed
which last season sold at S525
are now down to SS 20, which is about

the trade is purchasing freely at the
esta blIshed figures, and numbers Of
certain makes have been all taken al
ready. The cotton trade is still little
quiet, because the supply in the job
bers hands is found ample for the pres.
ent wants, but good demand is ex-
