The RADICAL PRESS is worried considera.
bly, about the public debt statements. 1t
is wonder that the radical congressional
power has not had them suppressed
altogether. AS it is, their attempts to
argue against facts and figures are long
Yinded and tortuous, The latest effort has
been to convince the public that the debt
has been diminished by one-fourth. 1t is
not necessary to go through column to
ascertain the facts of the case. 1t is
only necessary to compare the largest
statement ever made of the public debt,
which was on Sept. |, 1865, with the last
statement, to see how much the debt has
been reduced. These two statements are
as follows:
Sept. ], 1895. 40. 757 eR7.h71
Sept. l, 1868. 2'5Sb' '6l4 ala
Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1868-10-08

Instead of being one-fourth reduction,
this IS not even one tenth of the debt as it
exists now.
But, having made this statement, it is
also well to refer to the fact that this sur
plus was disposed of in about twelve
months, the treasury statement of Nov. 1,
1855, showing about the same debt as that
OF the present month. 1t is also worthy of
remark that in the past year, which has, of
itself been more favorable to the paying off
OF the debt than any other since the war be-
gan, the debt has increased enormously, as
may be seen from the following comparative
statement:

Revenue Frauds.

Commissioner Rollins, chief of the In
ternal Revenue Department, has writ
ten several letters to the Secretary of
the Treasury showing that one of the
most fruitful sources of fraud in the
collection Of the revenue is the reten-
ton in Office by the President OF many
corrupt and ineficient officers in spite
Of repeated recommendations for their
removal. The Cincinnati Gazette re-
publishes their letters with the follow
ing appropriate comments:
The public will not be surprised by
the statements made as to the extent
of revenue frauds; nor will anybody
be surprised to hear that the officers re-
ported as incompetent or corrupt, have
been retained in service. The Bible
SAYS, ''let him that stole steal no more -
but the President virtually says, "let
him that stole steal more" A revenue
officer who support my policy, is per-
fectly safe, even though he should steal
half or three-fourths of the peoples
money passing through his hands. 1t
viii be observed that James b. Stead
man and Maxwell p. Ga0dis, are
among the black sheep reported by the
Commissioner. Only one person, out
the entire list, has been removed by the
President. If corrupt men are retained
in Office, how long viii it be before the
people conclude to make only partial
returns for taxation. The demoraliza-
tion viii spread. 1t is fearfully cOnta-
giOus.

Resignation Of Lord Derby.

LONDON, February 25-Evening.-
The Liverpool Courier, this morning,
contained a report that Earl Derby had
resigned the Premiership, aud that his
resignation had been accepted by the
Queen. During the day the news was
confirmed. It was also ascertained
that D'Israeli would replace Lord Der
by as Prime Minister, at the same time
retaining his present post as Chancel-
lor of the Ezchequer.
In the House Of Lords this after
noon, at the beginning of the session,
Earl Malmsbury announced that Lord
Derby had rendered his resigna ton to
the Queen, on account of continued
i'll health. and her Majesty had been
pleased to call upon the present Chan
cellor, the Right Honorable Benjamin
D'Israei, to form a new Cabinet. Earl
Russell and others expressed their
sympathies for Lord Derby, and hoped
be might recover his illness, and re-
sumo bis post at the head of the Min
istry.

Major-Goneral George H, Thomas,

George Alfred Townsend, in de-
.scribing a recent interview with this
great soldier, says
"The General made me aware with
out expressly saying 1t, very soon, that
he was for prompt and stern military
reconstruction. He always said ''reb-
ell" when he meant it. He expressed
his qualification that he had no politi-
cal aspiration, and had so promptly
put himself out of the reach of abuse
by an early declinatiou of any nomina-
ton.
This fully aceords with what has
been previously made known of Gen
eral Thomas views upon this subject.
Before Congress had passed the first
reconstruction act he proposed a plan
of temporary government and reorgan-
ization of the insurreetionary States
which was substantially the same as
that which was subsequently enacted
into law.
From a synopsis of that plan now
before us we learn that the General
"had pondered the Southern question
long and deeply. Everything, +" he
says, is managed.in the interests Of
the ex-rebels. Unionists live merely
by sufferance, and must content them
selves as best they can, perforee, with
the crumbs of the table" As a RENE
dy for this state of affairs General
Thomas recommended a mixed super
vision over the rebel States He
would have commissioners appointed
by the United States Senate which
should be sustained in the execution
of the law by a military police similar
to that now in operation. He would
continue this mixed supervision of
all affairs till the State makes all men
equal before the za10, and ceases to bnolo
race or color IN the administration of
justice"
It has been said of General Thomas
that if he ever made a mistake no one
has yet found it out, and we fully be-
lieve his reconstruction propositions
just given are no exception to the
declaration.
General Thomas is one of the very
few prominent men of the country
who do not want to be President
Sometime since when he was proposed
for that honor we ventured the decla-
ration that the old hero would not ae-
sept the Presidential mantle. We

The telegraph reports the introduce
tion and immediate passage of bill in
the House, on Tuesday, placing fifty
thousand dollars in the hands of the
Secretary of State to relieve the wants
and defray the expenses of the return
Of destitute citizens imprisoned in for
eign countries without justice, and
discharged without trial, or acquitted" "
Is this for a Fenian fund, to furnish
pocket money to those who play the
part of Irish rebels here, and when
caught in Ireland assume to be
American citizens? IF any vagabond
wants to get free passage TO America,
and his expenses paid, he can do so by
getting himself arrested.

The Feast Of WARRIOR.

The Army Of the Cum mberlRnd, repre-
sented by its most distinguished OH
GERS, met last week in Cincinnati to
organize itself into q society for the per-
pstuatiou Of soldierlY friendships. The
occasion was brilliant, enthusiastic, and
patriotic. Noble men who had fought
side by side through a fierce war sat
down side by side at a peaceful feast.
Old battles were brilliantly &8ught over
again, and old acquaintanceships de-
lightfully renewed. 1t was such q re-
union as only true heroes and true
friends can ever have or deserve.
One Of its striking features was the
out-burst of enthusiasm with which the
great company saIuted the name and
presence of the greatest and MODEST
man in the American mY-Maj. Gen.
George 81. Thomas. Col. Matthews, IN
his opening address, alluded to the Gen
eral in the following words:
"AnOther name completes the list of
the commanders Of the Army Of the
Cum berl and, In the mention of which I
am already nticipated-General Geo.
II. Thomas. (Great chee tDg, contin-
ued until the noble form of the veteran
commander arose and bowed an &C
acknowledgement to the compliment, when
the whole Rssemblaga sprang to their
feet, and waved their hats, and cheered
anew.) We rejoice in his presence with
US to-day. (Rsnewed cheers.) He was
the backbone of that army always. lie
grew finally to be it's head. He was
with it from the beginning to che end
from the opening victory at Mill Spring
to the final triumph at Nashville. May
he remain with as yet for a long time
to come. (Cheers.) An affectionate re-
spect forbids, in his presence, the mem
tiOn of the praise which is his due.
/ (Cheers.)
Gen. Grant was not present, but Gen.
Sherman was yet the name Of neither
nor of both together elected anything
like the indescribable enthusiasm
which fired all hearts with affectionate
zaal for Gen. Thomas. 1t was a fine
/ madness. Anu 3 -Az=aaauinau bet
ter deserves such attribute. The Repub-
lie is not ungrateful.
We hope all the armies Of the United
States will form such societies, and en-
| Joy such reunions. Their effect will be,
not to foster a military spirit, but to in
| fuse into military men a civil spirit
! Certainly the spirit which animated the
reunion of the Army of the Cum berland
was the spirit of peace, of justice, Of Lbs
erty, Of equality. In the hands and
hearts Of such a sol6iery the civil insti-
tutions of the republic are safe.-N. Y.

based thm upon personal EnO OW ledge OF
his charaE .ter, and had not waited long
until our prediction was fully verified
A Repub Hcan State Convention in
Tennessse directly afterward declared
General Thomas its first choice for
President, but the old hero promptly
published a letter declining all honors
Of the sort aud saying that he had no
aspirations In that direction.
General 4 17homas' personal character
is we'll know q, and We believe a nobler-
minded man does not live. General
Roseeraus, after long personal ac-
ouaintance with him said that of all
men living he most reminded him Of
Washington. Though often in his
presence during the late war We never
heard him swear an oath or saw him
take a glass of strong drink. We be-
heve him to be a strictly temperate,
moral aud upright gentleman. In
times of great excitement and peril he
is calm, imperturbable and self-pos-
sesIed. In a greater degree than most
mOrfals he has the virtue Of self con-
troll, and his actions, public ana pri-
vate, are actuated by rare frmness and
good sense.
General Thomas popularity among
the Union soldiers Is not exceeded by
that of any of their old commanders.
It is the out-grOwsh not merely Of his
success but also Of his personal quail
tiles which no one who appreciates the
manifest traits Of human character
could fail to admire. His noble-mind-
eduess cannot be better illustrated
than by his repeated refusal to accept
rich aud costly presents (in one IN
stance We believe a gift of one hun
dred thousand dollars,) from admirina
friends soon after the close of the war.
In his letters declining these presents
General Thomas recommended that
the money be expended for she benefit
of soldiers widows and orphans.
As further proof of his greatness
Of character we need only refer to his
4 letter declining JOhnsOn's bTeVets,
published in another place. Acts like
these are more glorious than victories
on the bloody field. They bespeak
the man, true-hearted, noble and un-
selfish. They bespeak the pure pa
triOt, honest in impulse, modest in as
piration and as remote from the by
pocricies of political knaves and trick
sters as light is from darkness. In
these times Of trial, when there is so
much selfish ambition, dark diplomacy
and recreancy to principle in public
life, our country may be proud that
she has one at least so brave, unselfish,
transparent and noble as George Fl.
Thomas, the hero of the Cumberland.

Certain philosophers about as astute
as the three Gothamites who went to
sea in a bowl, are seriously advocating
the transportation and colonization of
the entire black population Of this
country. IF any one should propose
the transportation or colonization of
the foreign born population what ulu-
lations it would raise Yet 1t would
seem that persons who have been born
and raised here, have always been
faithful to the flag, and have never
been guilty Of any crime should be as
much eutitled to citizenship and the
privileges and immunities it carries as
they whose right TO it is derived mere
ly from adoption of our country aud
not from birth upon It's soil. We sup
pose this braiuless folly about trans
porting portion Of the population
out of the country win continue to be
advocated until negrophobia ceases to
be an aflietion of weak and narrow
minds. The vagary that our country
with its vast undevel6ped territories
and resources has too many laborers
or ought to send away any portion of
its laW-abiding citizens can be enter
tanned only By an intellect so ignorant
or bigoted as to be impervious to reas-
on.
