The Washington National Monument
THR officers Of the Washington National
Monument Society, among whom are included
President Johnson and General Grant, have
addressed circular to the clergymen of the
United States, requesting them to have oollec-
tions taken up in their respective oongrega-
tions on the Sunday Immediately preceding
the 22d of February next, for tbs benefit Of
the monument fund. The circular states that
very small sum from each congregation will,
in the aggregate, insure the immediate re-
sumption of the work, and, with the expected
aid from other sources, it is hoped that in
few years it will be completed.
That such an appeal as this should be
necessary is proof of the truth of our
remarks of yesterday, that monument-build-
ing is pursuit in which the majority of the
people of this country take but little interest.
We hope, however, that the appeal will be
responded to with libeIality. 1t is disgraceful
that the monument should remain in its pre-
sent condition, and it would be equally dis
oreditable if what has already been done should
have to be demolished. 1t would be much
better, however, that the s'ghtly affair
Which for the last dozen years has
represented the efforts of the Ameri-
can people to erect suitable
memorial to the Father of his Country should
be destroyed than that it should be allowed
to remain as it is now. Let the Washington
National Monument be completed, and let no
structures of the same kind be attempted
unless there are ample funds in hand to COM
plete the work without delay.
We have our doubts, however, whether the
Washington National Monument will ever be
stands is soft, and the immense weight Of the
shaft, which is not yet half as high as is pro-
posed, is so great that the foundation has set
tied, causing the stones to crack and split, and
the mortar having run down over the sur
face, presents a very unsightly appearance
The location of the monument is most unfor-
tunate, and whether, when the weight is
double what it is at present, it will stand for
many years, Is extremelySdoubtful. 1t is too
late, however, to correct fatal mistake made
in the beginning, and we think that the
monument ought to be finished and allowed to
take its chances. 1t is fortunate for the fame
of Washington, however, that it is writ in
something more enduring than marble, and
the bad luck of the Washington National
Monument should be warning to those who
are anxious to perpetuate the memory Of Lin
coin and other heroes in the same manner.
The plan which we have suggested of
placing statues Of our heroic dead in the Capt.
tol will enable the nation to testify to its
regard for their memory in a manner that will
be in every way appropriate, and it will give
us a national gallery of sculpture to which we
can point with pride. We commend this idea
to those W. are interested in the various
monumental projects which have been started
at different times, and to our national legis-
lators.

"a bloody tragedy near tfhynesbofo,
Wayne county, Tennessee. On Satu'
day afternoon, a large squad OF !, lregsoes
were in a field, drilling, and ali. arm, d
with guns. They were approached by :
number of citizens, who expostulatcd
with them, telling them they wished to
be their friends, and asking them to desist
from their military preparations. The
negroes then stacked their arms, and the
citizens retired; but after they had gone
a little way they were ambushed by the
sheriff and large posse, and two of their
number shot and several wounded. The
murderous onslaught is said to have been
without provocation. The negroes who
were drilling took no part in the shoot
ing. A large number of citizens in
Waynesboro and the surrounding coun-
try, on learning of the affair, at once ar
rived and went to the scene of conflict.
Pickets were thrown out, and every
preparation made for terrible fight. 1t
is supposed that bloody encounter must
have occurred, but nothing llter has
come to hand. +;

Democratic Capital.

When the Democratic Platform was reaai In
The New. York Convention the first time, we
find in the report of the proceedings of that
convention the following:
Sixth (resolve) economy in the adminlstra-
ton of the government, the reduction OF the
standing army and navy, the abolition OF The
freedman's bureau, (grcat cheers. Mr. eey-
mour asserted in that convention that "S50O,-
600 600 of taxes drawn from the people had
been used TO crush out the life of the States
(Southern.
Frank Blair in his letter to Broadhead,
which secured him the nomination speaks of
the supplies by which the idle negroes are
organized into political clubs, and by which
an army is maintained to protect these vaga-
bonds, as eating up the revenues and resources
of the government and destroying its credit"
Democratic stumpers and newspapers deal in
such assertions and slang 10y the Wholesale
constantly holding up the frecdman's bureau
and the army as the great causes of cxpcndi-
ture and of increased taxation, till many have
come to believe that there is some truth in
their assertions.
In view OF the enthusiasm WHICH STccteu
the proposal to abolish the bureau, and Sey-
mour's 500 million assertion, many would ex-
pect that this bureau had cost the country at
least hundred millions, ::and especially when
it is known that it has aided the poor whites
of the South as much as the blacks, and thro
its instrumentality, the rights of 4 millions OF
freedmen have been maintained and the whole
South kept from anarchy and civil war 80
extensive has been its good results that no one
would be surprised to learn that it had cost
something, and every patriot would say that
it was money well expended. Special Com
missioner Wells, tells us exactly how much
the Frecdman's Bureau has cost since its or
ganization in 1896, to the 1st of July, 1862
The whole cost has been little more than
1-2 millions, viz $5,617,O0O. The whole cost
of carrying out the Reconstruction Acts of
Congress has been $2,344, 200 according to the
same authority. Will Seymour and his fol-
lowers have the magnanimity TO give the ex-
act figures for the above items to the public,
instead of bloyiating about hundreds and thou
sands of millions Will they give Congress
the credit it deserves of rigid economy in all
these expenditures. and lay the blame of cor
ruption and extravaganza where it justly be-
longs, upon Andy johnson? F

'SroP MY PAPER."-A contemporary
says !: The receipt of notice to this eff.
feet the other day, "reninds us of a lit
tie story" A certain .man hit his toe
against pebble, and fell headlong to
the ground. He was vexed, and, un-
der the influence of anger and self sut-
fiency, he kicked mother earth right
saucily. With imperturbable gravity,
he looked to see the earth dissolve and
come to naught. But the earth remained
aud only his poor toe was injured in
the encounter. Need we draw the in
ference? This is the way of man. An
article in newspaper touches him in a
weak spot; the editor does something
without his permission, and he straight
way sends to stop his paper. With
great self-complaceny he looks to see
the crash when the object of his spleen
shall cease to be. Poor tool! he has
only just hit his toe against world that
does not perceptibly feel the shock, and
Injuries to no great extent none but him.
