Der from Monroe, received a letter from
his wife, stating that on Friday night last
some persons unknown set fire to his fine
lumber mill and all of bis outhouses at

to ashes.
DR.. r. n. Barr was at enc time Sur
geon General of the State of Ohio, and
after the war settled in Alabama, bought
him fine plantation in Monroe county,
and engaged in the planting of cotton.
He lost Immensely in this investment,
but still battled on against the adverse
fortunes that fate was throwing upon him.
In February last he was elected State
Senator from Monroe county, and during
his occupancy Of his seat has been noted
for his prudent views, his harmonizsng
policy and strict integrity.

ash threat was carried into execution, and

PANIC AMONG THE DEMOCRACY.

The elections of last Tuesday have
created a tremendous hubbub in the
Democratic camp and all is confusionIand
CONSERVATION. The most sanguine cop
perhead at last sees that there is no hope
OF electing Seymour and Blair. The
New York World the leading organ of
the Democracy demands an immediate
change Of leaders. It acknowledges that
defeat is certain under the present man
agement and declares that the only hope
is tolretire Seymour and Blair and put 9TH
er candidates on the course Some Of the
Democratic leaders fall in with this view,
and others say that they must fight it out
on the present line. kilograms are fly
ing in every direction fioni leaders, and
would be leaders, expressing their views
on the situation. Seymour neryously
asks to be let off and says he never want
ed to run any how: Blair-who ever
knew Blair to let good thing go when
he had hold of it ?-speaks in ST. Louis
and meekly says he isready to resign if the
interests of the party demand it. Gam.
blers by the hundred are focking to New
York to urge Seymour withdrawal in
order that they may save their bets.
General despair and "confusion worse
confounded," reign from Tammany Hall
to the dirtiest Ku Klux den in Texas.
The Chicago Tribune aptly illustrates
the position by the conversation of two
shipwrecked sailors whose raft began to
go to pieces in mid ocean. 1t is as fol-
lows:
FHANK-Horatio, can you pray7
HoRATIo-No, can You, Frank
FRAsK-No, but something must he done
id quick.
The present probability is that Sey-
mour and Blair will be continued in their
unenvlable positions, but the open &C.
acknowledgement of defeat in advance has
taken all enthusiasm out of their follow
ers, and the sorry and pitiable manner in
which the Democratic party goes into
the hnal contest would excite compassion
III the hardest heart if its Infamous re-
cord had not sunk it beyond the reach of
pity.

FACTS FOR VOTERS,

l. The national debt was not the result
of Republican extravaganza, but rather
an absolute necessity which could not
have been avoided if we would save the
nation.
2, Nearly one half Of the actual cost
of the war has been already paid.
3. The debt is steadily diminishing
every year and every month, all state
ments to The contrary notwithstanding
4. The rate of taxation has been re-
duced fifty per cent. since the war ended,
and is being reduced every year.
5. The actual expenses of the Govern
ment, counting out the extraordinary ex-
penses caused by the war, have been
SIS, 100000 less per year, than during
the four years of Buchanan's administra-
ton.
6. The policy Of the Republican party
is to tax wealth and luxury to support
the Government and pay the debt; the
policy of the Democratic party is to tax
all property Unfortunately for those
purposes.
I. The Democratic party, controlling
the Government eight years from 1852
to 1860, reduced the country from power
and prosperity to the very verge Of ruin !;
the Republican party being in power
eight years from 1860 to 1868 brought
the country back from ruin to unexam-
pied power and prosperity.
8. The Republican policy has re -estab
lished the Union, restored confidence
brought back tranquility and introduced
the nation upon career of unexampled
public and private prosperity The Dem
ocrat policy would bring about an newt
able war, destroy confidence disturb and
derangc all business affairs and vastly in
crease the public debt.
These facts can not be controverted
and should receive the earnest considera-
ton OF every voter and tax payer in the
country.

HOW THE DEBT Has BEEN d.
MINLSHED.


Much confusion has arisen from the
fact that the Monthly Reports made by
Secretary McCulloch do not show the en-
tire Indebtedness of the country. Those
reports show only the amount of indebt
edness which has beer adjusted and put
in the form of bonds or other securities.
Beside that sum there is. large amount
of unadjusted claims which do not appear
in his reports, but which are Just as bind
ing on the nation as the other. The
Secretary's reports DO not show very
much change during the past three years
in the amount Of adjusted Indebtedness,
but the amount Of unsettled claims has
been greatly reduced in that time. The
aggregate Of the indebtedness, settled and
unsettled, in the year of 1865, was more
than S800,000,000 greater than it is now
this vast sum having been paid out of
the revenue of the country within three
years. The manner in which tho debt
has been diminished without affecting
Secretary McCnlloch's reports readily
admits ofillustration. Suppose that the
Revenues of the Government for month
are S25, 100000 and that the various ex-
penses for that time are also S25 100000
so that income balances the expenditures
and nothing is either gained or lost
Suppose also that during that time SIS,
100000 of old war. claims are allowed and
settled by issuing bonds to that amount:
These bonds now appear on the Secreta-
rvs report for the. first time, and the na-
tional Indebtedness apparently has in
creased SIS, 100000, when in fact it has
changed only in form, and not in amount,
any more than man adds to or takes
from the amount of his cash ty chang
ing 1t from our pocket to another Sup.
pose again, in the above case, that the
revenue was S5,000,000 more during the
month than the outlay, and that the SIS
600, 900 Of war claims had been settled
by paying this 1000, 600 and Issuing
$40 900, 600 of bonds The result is
that the latter will go into the Secretary's
report, and the debt will apparently have
increased by that amount when in fact
the real debt of the country has been di
minished s5,0O0,O0O.
The copperheads have diligently tried
to figure out result showing that the
national debt has increased since the war
under Republican management, but in
every case they have either ignored the
outstanding claims or have villainousIy
falsifed the reports Every accurate
statement of the financial management Of
affair, proves conclusively the wisdom
and honesty of the Republican policy,
In no possible event could change re
suit in better consequences than now,
and in all probability the effect would be
disastrous in the extreme. The interest
of every tax payer, and every owner of
property demand that the finances of the
country, now in most satisfactory con-
dition, should not be tempered and ex-
perimeuted with. a......
