INSULT TO INJURY.

1t may be wieked-we cannot help it,
but if we had seen the keeper of Libby
Prison at the New York Convention; if we
had been prisoners surrounded with the
filth. misery, starvation and tyranny, we
should have done just what the two soldiers
did, thrashed the custodian if we had not
been prisoners, likely we should have grated
our teeth, pressed our lips together, and
hissed something ike an epithet What
did that 6end who kept Libby prison want
at New York? Is he one of those trying to
save the nation? Is that the kind of stuff
of which Democracy is composed Is be
the man to dictate Democratic nominations ?
The Democrats, not content with the man
responsible in the moral law for New York
hangings, murders, burnings; not content
with Wade Hampton, YaIlandigham Rhett
and host of rebel Generals, Majors and
Captains, went so far as to have the jailor
of one of the yilest and most. abominable
deus in the world at the Convention. Are
the Democrats ashamed of the war? Let
the keeper Of Libby prison BY his presence
at New York answer. And what unspeak
able inpudeuce the jailor Of such den must
have to haunt himself in the streets of New
York City. Who can ever forget the
miserable condition Of the prisoners when
released; who has forgotten the horrors, re-
vealed by the Photographic art, of the suf-
ferings there endured To appreciate the
injury and insult fully, of the attendance Of
such a representative at the Democratic Con
vention, father, husband, brother or son
must lave been confined in one of the vile
dens down South.
To say the least, it was in exceedingly bad
taste to allow such a man to appear in a
representative character. Yet there was
no reproof, no apology the Democracy took
his appearance as a matter of course, and
must take now the odium that attaches to
Libby that hell hole of torture. CONNER

SPEECH of HON. GEORGE S BOUT.
WELL.


Mr. Speaker, l have no doubt myself that
this thousand millions will be paid in the
next fifteen years by the energy aud By the
resources Of this country. And | wish to
call the attention Of the House to fact de-
dneed by careful examination Of statistics
obtained from the Assistant Secretary of the
treasury, showing that during the lastthree
years we have with our resources and the
revenue of this country secured large
dininution Of the public debt. confess,
that after the careful examination | had
made, | felt compelled to review it to see
whether there was not some mistake in the
premises or in the calculation, so astonishing
IS the evidence thus furnished Of the ability
OF the people Of the country to liquidate the
public debt From the first day of April
1876, to he irst day of January, 1865, two
years and uine months, we have paid out Of
the public Treasury sI,552, ,000, 900 of
money. Upon a careful analysis of the
expe nditures of the Government during
those two years aud nine months, l find that
the expenses of peace establishment, ex-
eluding interest, pensions, and bounties,
upon the basis of the year 1866 and 1867,
when the expenses Of the government we're
so, 100000 more than they are to be the
present year, amounted to $4S5, 900, 600,
showing that We paid over and above those
expenses 81, ,066. 900. .000 On the first day
Of April, 1865, the public debt, liduidated
and ascertained was s., 366, ,000, 600, and
the 81 ,066, 600, 600 wich we paid between
the first OF April, 1865, and the first Janu-
airy, 1868, would have been added to the
public debt as proper expenses of the war if
we had not liqnidated it from the public
revenue. If we add to the 81, 366, 900, 600
public debt on the first Of april, 1865, ST.
066, 900, 900 which we paid for war expenses,
including interest on the war debt, pensions,
and b0unties between the first OF April, 1865,
and the first of January, 1868, we find that
on the first of January, 1868, the public
debt, if we had not paid expenses Of the
war out of the ordinary revenue, would have
amounted to $3,432, 900, 600. In the face
ofthis great fact, that in two years and nine
months, by extraordinary taxation and
extraordinary efforts 10 be sure, we paid
81, ,066, 600, 600 Of the public debt, are we to
assume that hereafter the people of this
country are notannually to make considera-
be payments of the public debt of the
country? Almost one-third of the entire
public debt of the country has been paid in
two years and nine months. and am not
willing to stand upon the assumption that
we shall not make large payments in each
year hereafter

THE POLICY OF THE DEMOCRATS,
AS STATED BY THEIR LEADERS,

Toomba said in his Atlanta speech:
These so called Governors and Legislatures
which have been established ia our midst
shall at once be made to vacate. The Con-
vention at New York appointed Frank Blair
especially to GUST them. +"
Says the Montgomery (Ala.) AdUeTtiser
(ConserystiEe): ''It is better that the
Democracy Of the North should realize the
truth as to the Southern Presidential vote,
in order that they may proceed at once to
reflect upon the facts and resolve upon such
action as may be suitable to the case. 1t
may be relied on as fact that in the seven
so-called reconstructed States Grant electors
will be chosen, without any exception what
ever.
Howell Cobb's views Of the treatments
due to Southern Union men are as follows:
The doors are wide open, wide enough,
broad enough to receive every white man
in Georgia, unless you should discover him
coming to you creeping and crawling under
the Chicago platform. Upon them there
should be no mercy. They have dishonor-
ed themselves and sought to dishonor you.
Anathematize them Drive them from the
pale of social and political society. Leave
them to wallow in their own mire and filth.
Nobody viii envy them, and if they are
never taken out of the gully until reach
forth my hand to take them up, they viii
die in their natural clement Laughter
and applause J"
The following from the Mobile Tribune is
plain enough:
Friends -follow-eitizens of Mobile
comrades of the Queen City of the Gulf
let us make one more effort in behalf Of our
rights aud our liberties. IF we are success
full in the approaching contest we shall re-
gain all that we lost in the Lost Cause -
And this, from the Charleston Merc,ug,
is both plain and terribly significant:
Congressional reconstruction, as we
anticipated from the first that it would be,
is failure. To go on further with it, will
only involve danger and increase exaserpa-

The following, from the same paper, is
good reading for Northern Democratic edi-
tors and speakers:

actual expounding of the platform 1t viii

DOUGLAS JERRoLn.

In a recent number of the London Rerie,e
we find the following excellent and dis
criminatiye characterization of Douglas Jer-
rold, the prince of English satirists, whom
American readers know chiefly as the au-
thor of the Cdudle Lectures, which were,
probably, in his own estimation, his hghtest
and most trifing compositions:
Douglas Jerrold was one of those men
who put their personality into their work,
and do not simply write to order the
thoughts of other minds. Endowed by
genius, nursed in suffering, steeled in the
first instance by neglect, and ultimately
warmed by success, he acquired distinct
and peculiar character, and that character
he infused into all his writings, down to the
most trifing and ephemeral He had his
own way of flooking at things, his own stan
dards of right and wrong-notably, his own
style. His manner of literary expression
was not the least singular part of him. 1t
was very remarkable style; abrupt, frag-
mentary, stammering, as it were, yet always
with meaning in the stammer; strong with
rough and scornful strength; very native
and homespun; pathetic at times, and capa-
bic of rising into proud and passionate
words of pity or indignation; not seldom
Pickering with elm CLEANS of fancy, play
fulness, and grace, yet more frequently
speaking in plain terms of plain things, or
darting out sudden forked tongues Of wit
and sarcasm, that but rarely failed to hit
their mark.
''Jerrold was man Of wit and Of strong
feeling, aud it was the union of those two
qualities which made his genius. Generally
wit is an affair ofthe head Only: in Jerrold
it wasquite as much matter of the heart.
1t is strange how people could ever believe
of him that he could say sayagely severe
things and did say them: yet it is impossi
bic to read his writings without perceiving
that the leading characteristic of his nature,
and really the central principle of his severity
itself, was sympathy. 1t was because he
had so passionate sense of the wrongs and
sufFerings of the poor that he blurted out
such sharp reproaches to the rich. 1t was
because be felt 50 keenly for Lazarus at the
gate that he challenged Dives at the table
with such trumpet voice. 1t was because
he believed SO heartily in the peopla-in
humanity for its own sake-that he scofFed
so loudly at crowns and eoronets and purple
robes. Yet all this did not make tie man
bitter at heart; nay. it kept his heart fresh
and green amidst many temptations to
aridity and deadness There can be no bit
terness where there is so much faith in good:
the litter man is he who, though with a
smiling face, has lost the very sense OF
nobility, Of honesty and truth; who looks
upon human nature as thing to becontroh-
| al bv statute law alone-a creature Of base
instincts and ignoble ends.

If John HopIey don't know the Copper
head, inside and cut, there is no use livinI

dered during the war. Aud here is wha
John says, in the Bucyrus Journal, of Jun
5th:
OF all the faeiions men we've seen,
Existing now or long since dead,
No one was ever known SO mean
As him we call Copperhead;
A draft evading Copperheadi
a rebel aiding Copperhead;
A growing, slandering,
Scowling, pandering,
Vicious, State rights Copperbead
From him the deeencies of lite
And all its courtesies have fed;
He lives in fretiul factious strife;
A testy, touehy, Copperhead;
A negro fearing Copperhead;
A rebel cheering Copperhead;
An unlearned, unlocked,
Oft spurned, oft whipped,
Doughfaced, crying Copperhead.
When 'Save the Union, was the cry,
And thousands for the Union bled,
The nation right be DID deny
To save itself:-this Copperhead;
A Son Of Liberty Copperhead;
A Golden Circle Cop2erhead;
4 scheming, lying,
Screaming, flying,
Mean, Canadian Copperhead.
When Southern mscreants designed,
Their helpless prisoners's blood to shed,
And Libby prison undermined,
Who then approved? The Copperhead:
The soldier shooting Copperhead
The patriot hooting Copperhead;
The war abusing,
Aid refusing,
Crime excusing Copperhead.
Who scoffed at Pillow bloody fray,
And AndersonEille' murdered dead?
Who yictorys hour did long delay2
The traitorous, treacherous Copperhead,
The crime creating Copperheadi
Assassinating Copperhead;
The strife exciting,
Wrath inviting,
Death delighting Copperhead.
When widows mourued their lonely lot,
And orphan children wept their dead;
Who said the just deserts they got?
The Northern rebel Copperhead;
The widow libelling Copperhead;
The grief deridiug Copperbead;
The false conspiring,
City firing,
Booth admiriug Copperhead.
Nor woman grief, nor orphan tears,
Nor even a Nations honored dead,
Are sacred from the jibes and sneers,
Of every brutal Copperhesd;
Each church aspersiug Copperhead;
Each preacher eursing Copperhead,
Each Union hating,
War creating,
Repudiatiag Copperhead.
Crawl to your duughill, viper, crawl,
For General Grant with a congueriBg tread
Marches to crush the thing men call,
In politics, Copperhead;
A Democratic Copperhead:
A vile fanatic Copperhead;
4 murder jeering,
Widow sneering,
Assassin cheering Copperhead.
