another crisis, it may be a severe
one to us, and what was left by
the last, may be swept away by
the next troubles. But even if
the troubles of the last war have
sprinkled our door-posts, SO that
the destroying angel shall pass
over us this time, we ought still
to seek proper precautions for
our safety, under whatever circum-
tances may come up.
But aside from the uncertain
ties and darkness of the future,
the present is certainly no time
to 90 in debt. We have just
passed through one of the hardest
fought struggles of modern times,
our crops have not paid us since,
and in fact, we have often had to
look to the North for part of our
provisions; we have all lost a
considerable portion CT our proper
ty, and many have ''to build up
from the ground" again; interest
has and is accruing on our old
debts, and many are taking the ben
eft of the bankrupt law. Each one
that takes the benefit of this law
deprives his creditors OF the
means they have calculated upon
to pay others. and may force 9TH
ers into the same course. But we
cannot blame the bankrupt, for
mans duty is to provide for bis
family who are entirely depend
ent upon him; and many of those
who are taking the benefit of the
law,are SO weighed down by the
debts Of others, security debts, that
it is utterly impossible for them
to pay out. We should, then, ex-
ercise extreme caution and pru.
dence in taking upon ourselves OBJ
legations to pay. If the country
remains peaceful, if the govern
ment does not grind us down
with taxes, If our crops should
turn out abundantly, we can pay
any reasonable amount of debts;
we should, in fact, soon grow IN
to prosperous people again
But now there are too many
contingencies, and we should be
looking out for our own safety.
This is certainly the course die.
tated by prudence, and by aprop.
er regard for our obligations, and
for our character.
There is no safe rule. except
to "pay as you 60 When
we buy only what.we can pay
for at the time, and keep our
names off every body's books.
and off all papers, we know we
are safe. We know, then, thai
our earnings are not being eating
up by interest, or by Court costs
and expenses.
But even if our county was in 9
most prosperous condition, crops
abundant, money plenty, and out
of debt, ''pay as you go" should
etill be the motto. How much
more does the man who is out of
debt enjoy the pleasures within
his reach. No man can say t
him, you owe me for the goof
things you are enjoying. But per
haps you say, you can pay every
debt you owe in the world. Thai
is not like having them paid
While you have the property IL
your possession, it may burn up
the bank may break,sit may die
or be destroyed by other means
and then the loss is yours, and you
are deprived of that much means
of paying your debts; but if you
"pay as you CO." and then lose
property, you may perhaps have
to cut your family expenses down
until you make up the loss again,

Infamy IN Huh Places.

Some time since at the time the secret got out
We published the fraud discovered In the New
York Custom House and among tho itemS to
parties to the fraud, beside Collector Smythc and
Andrew johnson, was $4,000 appropriated to
ga Washington woman The New York Mcr-
curry gives the following additional news:
The suit recently commenced by Mrs. Perry,
known as the "washington woman" against
Henry A. Smythe, Collector Of the port Of New
York to recover large amount, rs her share OF
Smythe's sale Of the General Order business, for
S40, 900, has been quietly settled through the
intervention Of President johnson, whose friend
ship for the lady has secured her small fortune
from Government patronage. Smythe positive
ly refused, II Is said to part with even one Of his
greenbacks for the benefit Of Mrs. Perry and
he was, II Is further alleged, tho possessor Of So
crets impaired to him by Mr.. johnson when he
mysteriously secured to him the sinecure he now
holds The Washington woman, however, was
incxonblc and, about the time when Smythe
was cited to appear before the Supreme Court,
the President intcrfered, and thus prcvented'a
trial, which would have been one Of the most ne
markablo If not the most seandalous, on record.
A verbal message was sent from here to one Of
the Federal Office holders In New York, to raise
the amount Of subscriptions from tho heads Of
the revenue and other departments, in order to
appcase Mrs. Perry and, of course, the necled
sum was at once furnished, and the legal pro-
ccclings were consequently quashol. The Sc
Quel to the case has relieved Collector Smythc
from curious and unenviable dilemma, and has
made the President happy.

The President's Effort.

Col. Forncy, in his dispatches to the Philadel.

rcspondence, says:
"In this connection have authority for the
statement that General Grant has In the whole
Of the struggle kept his own counsel, rs usual,
except In so far as he sought General Sherman's
aid in trying to force the President to admit the
falschood contained In his letter to him. He
wrote all of the letters to the President himself
without consultation even with his most intimate
friends and advisors, and none knew anything Of
their contents, except through the President, un-
Ill the correspondence had progressed for several
days.
In addition to the explanation Of the converse
ton on the subject In the Cabinet meeting on
the l4th ult., have learned that Gen. GrnnteI-
pressed himself thoroughly nstounded and abash-
cl ut the statement which the President made,
to the effect that he had promised to act rs his
stool-pigeon, and that he was 20 astonishcd, that
for moment he lost his presence ofmind, which
never occurred to him before In his life. lie ad-
mits privately that he commenced his reply to
this statement by saying, "well, Mr.. President,
you might have Misunderstood" but, recover
ing his selfpossession, nddel-"you misappro-
hcnd entirely" or worls to that effect. The
baseness Of the man johnson and his crew Of So
callei constitutional advisers In constituting this
gcntlemanly palliation Of his falschood into an
admission on the part Of Gen. Grant Of the truth
Of his story, rebounds TO tho Generals credit.
