Democrats promise a reduction in
the expenses of government, in case
they succeed in gaining its control.
The people Of Ohio have had an op-
portunity of testing the good faith of
these promises, and the test has shown
that the expense of the present Legis-
lative session ofthat State, has exceed
ed the expense of any previous session,
by over million dollars. The amount
necessary for Legislative sessions, has
heretofore been less than a million.
This yearit is two millions four hund-
red dollars. "Wait until after the

The Tennessee delegates to the Dem
ocratic Convention are instructed for
Andrew johnson. The financial idea
of Pendleton were indorsed. The
rebel General Forrest, of Fort Pillow
memory, is one Of the delegates. The
nlme Of Mr.. Bates was first reported, |,
when a motion was made to substitute
Forests. A long and fierce debate
ensued, in which Forrest participated.
The vote was in his favor. The an
nouncement Of the result was received
with prolonged yells, proclaiming that
the rebel clement had triumphed ;,tha.
the last pretences of Unionism were
cast aside, and that the hero of the
Fort Pillow massacre, the darling OF
the guerrillas and Ku Klux, was pre-
sented to the world as a thoroug ghly
appropriate representative of the Dem
ocracy of Tennessee.

RETRENcHNENTand Economy, pro-
claimed at Chicago as a National duty,
are understood in Congress to mean
something mere than mere words.
The appropriation bills, based upon
the regular recommendations from the
Executive departments, are cut down
on all sides, with a view to meet a
total reduction ofa least one hundred
fif y and millions Of dollars in the next
years expenditures. The latest ap-
plications Of this pruning knife was
on Wednesday last, when the House
was recommended to reduce the appro-
priations for the repair of certain
public works from $6, ,l5O,5OO down
to 81 ,857, 900, and the recommends
tion is likely Il be adopted.

The House has been pushing rapid
ly through the Tax bills, and has now
arrived at the clauses relating to special
taxes. The work upon these sections
goes slowly, as every proposition in
volved in them is contested by the
advocates Of the interests affected.
Gen. Butler yesterday gave notice OF
his intention to move the postponement
of the bill till next session. If the
House persevere, however, the end OF
next week will see the bill complete.

the Democratic party which it repre-
sents: "If a war Democrat of the

PREsIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
THE QUESTION STATED.

The project oftaxing National Bonds
has been for several years persistently
agitated, mainly by Democratic dem
agogues, for want of better pabulum
on which to nourish popular discon-
tent. The unconstitutionality of tax
ing them by State, city, Or other local
authority has been too plainly and
repeatedly decided by the Supreme
Court to make this mode of attack on
these securities feasible. We hope the
following plain exposition of the re-
pudiating policy, of which the Opposi-
ton have constituted themselves cham
pions, will be cut out and kept for
reference. Put it in the ears of
Democrats" when they spout "down
with bondholdcrs ETC." The Tribune
remarks the whole effect is very plain,
and ought to be easily understood. If
the tax is authorized at the time the
bond is issued, the creditor who makes
the loan adds the tax to the rate of
interest, and it is paid not by the public
creditor, but by the ordinary tax payer.
If the bond is issued before the tax is
authorized, then it is an attempt by
the government to lessen the rate of
interest they have agreed to pay by the
amount of the tax. In short, it is
repudiating to that extent the payment
of the interest. A very small repudi-
alton of interest is equal to a very
large reputation of principal. Thus
an annual tax of one per cent. on our
bonds is Reputation of one per cent.
Of the interest, which is equivalent to
repudiating onc-sixth OR l6S per cent.
Of the principal. This would lower
the value of our bonds and currency
from "a in gold-where they now
stand-to 81 3-5, which would be
expressed by rise of gold to 1855. A
tax Of two per cent. would be equal to
a reputation of two-sixths of the
principal, which would be expressed
by the fall of our bonds and currency
to 48 in gold, and the rise of gold to
20SS in currency. A tax Of six per
cent. which the Government would
have just as much right to impose as
one of less, would be Reputation Of
the entire principal. The effect Of
imposing these taxes and reducing the
gold value of our debt and currency
would be that when we came to renew
our bonds, or to borrow again, it would
require a larger sum of debt to express
the principal, and larger rate Of
interest to carry it. On the othel
hand, as the national debt is deb
due from the tax payers to tn,
bondholders, whatever lessons the ratt
Of interest or amount of principa
must Of necessity benefit the tax payer:
exactly in proportion to their liability
to pay taxes. AS exempting Ma
tional Bonds from taxation does lesser
the rate of interest and the amount o.
principal exactly in proportion to th'
pecuniary value Of the exemption, i
follows that the benefits of the exemp
tion are divided among the tax payer
precisely in proportion to their taxable
liability. What can be fairer thai
this? An attempt of a governmen
to derive o revenue from its debt
would be on par with the vagabond'
policy of living on the interest of wha
he owes.

THERE can be no greater wicied-

than the 6alderdash about negro rule.
The whites will always rule IN this

dishonor that race which is so superior
in strength in its resources that any
such war must result from its own

HOW TRUEi

"Our enormous and oppressive ma
tional debt" says The World, "would
never have been created by the Dem
ocratic party" The national debt
was incurred in conqueripg the rebel
lion and saving the national life. We
know very we'll, observes the Tribune,
that the Democratic party opposed the
spending of money for any such pur-
poses.

TEN.LE SUFFRAGEIN THE CHURCH

The Presbyterian Churches are agltated lust
now with the question whether women shall
he permitted The right Of suffrage in that
church. Those in the Affirmative hold that
nuder the rules of the PresbyterIan church or
rarization females, though not eligible to Office
sre as perfectly invested with the elective fran
ehise as the male members of the church. For
ought that appears III the Presbyterian Form
NJ Government the elective franchise in respscI
10 both sexes rests on precisely the same basis.
The prac tlce, however, IN the Pres oyterian
Church has been various. In the majority OF
the congregations the male members do all the
Young: IN others both sexes share alike in the
exercise Of the privilege OF suffrage. 1t
rs argued IN bshaIf of female suffrage
that women integral personal ele-
1uents in the visible church; and are
admitted thereto upon the same tests OF disci-
pIeship that apply t. men. They are amenabie
40 the same authority, aud have the same inter-
ssts in the organization; and hence there is no
reason why they should b. Gisfranchised by
their own delicacy, by church usage, or by
any positive law. They are quite likely TO
vote sensIbly as the men are; and, moreover
the exercise OF the right Is well suited TO IN
crease their significance, and awaken in them
Il stror interest in The affairs of the church.
This Is tie argument in behalf OF female suf-
rage in tie church, and it seems 10 be s very
good one
Tn. main interest, however, Ia the question
TO the general public Is that female suffrage in
the church leads by parity of reasoning 10 f.
male suffTage in the state. Women are an in
tsgrial part OF the state as well as of the
church. They are subject TO the laws OF the
STAT; fthey owr properly they are liable to
taxation. and therefore they may ri-htful!y
clam 10 have voice IN the choice OF those
who make the laws and levy the taxes. L0gl-
cally there seems 70 b. no way CT evadlng the
conclusion that woman has right 10 vote-if
she wants 10. II might not suit Der tastes CT
iuClEaiious 10 exercise the privilege after she
sOs 1t. but as NJ. TiIeOmb says. If a woman can
