PendIetOn's Plan.

But one forcIble objection II brought
against what it known Us Pendleton's
plan for paying tho Federal debt, by
the Radical press, and that Is, that it
will produce such an imitation rs 10
render green backs comparatively
worthless, and thereby fall with crush
ing effect upon the masses. In order
that our readers shall hear Mr.. Pend
Teton himself upon this subject, wo give
below an extract from his Milwaukee
speech:
And now l say not only that these
bonds are payable in legal tender, but
they ought TO bo paid as Don Bs it e
possible TO do u. / do not know that
1t Is possible to pay .inesN BONDS as fast
as !ney mature, even in currency; but
l do know that every possible effort
ought 10 DO made TO do IL.
But at this point | am mel with the
argument that this policy will issue an
immense amount ot paper, and thus so
far inhate the currency us to destroy
its value, and bring disaster upon the
country. Now, gentlemen, let nc ex-
anime this objection. MIR. McCulloch,
in his last monthly report, stated that
the public debt which bears interest is
comprised in three kinds; that three
hundred millions Of this debt could not
DO redeemed before 1874; that three
hundred millions more could not be-
redeemed before 1881; aud that the rest
Of the debt, a~mountingt to nearly seven
teen hundred millions of dollars il
comprised IN fivc-tweuties md bonds
which bear interest in currency.
Soy lnteen hundred millions Of five,
twentIcs and bonds which bear interest
in currency will full due within the
next five years. ! cannot state TO you
tbs ":;act timo nor tic exact proper
Ilons ~ which these bonds fall duo. ]
mean thess ivo twenties. Their mere
name implies that when five year,
shall eIapse after their issue, tho Gov
crnment may pay them; but need MOI
pay them until twenty years have clu
pscd.
"Now gentlemen, ] maintain tina.
these hve-twenty bonds should DO paiC
as fast as IL is possible TO do so withon.
inlatlug the currency beyond q SAT,
and just point. And II is my business
now to snow yoa how rapidly that cal
be done. The u%nliquidated debt 9th,

Now, then, suppose yon take this
twenty millions OF interest which Is
saved add it to tho forty wight millions
Of dollars WEIGH these gentlemen eay
they can pay from the current evenu
and you have sixty.eight millions of
dollars, year by year nj If You convert
thnt sum into greenbacks, at 140, you
have q hundred millions of dollars o
year, and " this is appropriated ms q
sinking fund you a pay offthe whole
debt in less than fifteen years, without
adding orc dollar to yout taxation or
one dollar t. tho circulating medium.
(Applause.)
But bear IN mind that ! am arguing
a proposition that these bonds can bo
paid in greonbacks without initiating
the currency. Bear in mind this can
be accomplished in twelve to fourteen
years without tho addition ofone dollar
to your taxation, or one dollar to your
circulating medium And now bear
in mind, also, that / have not touched
The revenues o fthe Government, which
in 1866, amounted to five hundred'and
sixty millions of dollars; nor have l
attacked the expenditures Of shat year
of Radical administration.
But now SET the Radical reformcr
TO work. Let him cut of extrava-
gnnce-lop OF every unnecessary ex-
penditurc. Let him reduce tho cur

reduced 800, 600, 900; that would be
s25, 900. 900 more than Mr.. Buchanan
expended; that would DO az much IN
one year as Andrew Jackson cxpcnd-
cd in any Of the four years of hio adj
ministration. But let the expenditure
be reduced to $4,000, 900 for current
cxpcn sea, $780, 200, 900 for interest on
the public debt and 800, 000, 900 OF o

you have the aggregate ofs360, 100000

When five years shall have passed
you can reduce $3.50, 600, 900 Of your

you can reduceyour-taxation 5000, 900

CUTTERS. Messrs. PIERCE & LEAN.
of this city, engaged in the manufacture of
Cutters, have on hand large number of va
rious styles of finish, gotten up in the best
manner, and made of frst-rate materials
Their Cutters are the most substantial we
have seen, and many of them are finished
and painted in style superior to any ever
offered in this market. Parties in want of
a one or two-horse Cutter can find at their
shop, on North Chestnut street, just the thing
they want. For beauty and service they
cannot be surpassed.

CHICAGO TRTBUNE.-The prospect.
US of this leading newspaper of the West,
will be found in another column of this pa
per. The character of the Tribune is so
We known in this vicinity that notiGo of
it Is scarcely necessary. Its circulation is
evidence of its appreciation by the public.
No paper in the West or East furnishes lat
er news or more of it. Its market reports
are reliable. In politics, the Tribune has
ever taken high stand in favor of Repub-
Iican principles, and its editorials are of
even those who differ with it upon political
issues. For terms, &c, see prospectus.

Our Public Schools.

Why is it that our Public Schools are not
brought up to standard adequate to the
wants OF the place? There certainly can
be no reason offered why Mineral Point
should not have as good Public Schools as
can. be found in the State. We have a large
number of children to educate, and our ciri-
zens possess sufficient wealth to secure the
best of teachers. In fact, if one half the
money expended in sending children to 9TH
er places to be educated was expended at
| home IN proper manner we could have
schools that would attract students from 9th
er localities instead of being under the ne
cessity of supporting other schools with mon
ey that should be expended at home. We
believe our School Board desire a higher
grade of schools than we have, and would
gladly provide them if they had the means
| But there is fault somewhere and we
hope some action may be had that will tend
to raise our public schools to a standard
above that of district schools generally If
our citizens will it they can easily accom-
plish il. 1t may cost little money at first,
but in the end it will be found profitable
investment for both scholars and parents.
We regret that there is a necessity for
these remarks, but something is necessary
TO stir up the people of this city to a proper
action, that We hope may result in giving US
Public Schools equal to any in Wisconsin.

Pubic RPADINGs.-Mr s. l.. JoLE
gave to few of our citizens, last evening,
an entertainment in readings. Though una
BILE to be present, we are enabled, upon the
authority of others, to say that his readings
were generally, and all much better than
might have been expected to 50 small an audi
ence. We are sorry TO notice the indiffer-
ence Of the people of Mineral Point in re-
gard TO entertainments of literary charac-
ter. 4 circus or negro minstrel show is al
ways well patronized, but lecturer gener-
ally has to address large number of empty
seats, even though the entertainment be
free.

We are happy to announce that the ladies
OF our city propose to hold Festival for
the benefit of the Literary Association, on
| Wednesday evening, Dec. 10, 1868, at the
| City Hall. The entertainment will consist
of Songs, Tableaux, Oysters, Ice Cream,
Christmas Gifts, etc. We believe from our
knowledge of the parties who are interested
in .his Festival, that it will afford one of
.he most pleasing social gatherings of the
season. The Association, together with the
Good Templars, has done much to furnish
fine Hall for public meetings, has seated it
in splendid style, and has kept it in good
order. The Association also afforded a num-
Der OF good lectures during the past year,
and proposes during the present season to
provide a series of literary entertainments
Lectures from our leading citizens, Reel
tatlons and Concerts, to which the public
generally are invited without let or him
drance.
On account of the improvements made by
the Association debt was incurred, money
borrowed to meet its liabilities, and we hope
the people viii attend the Festival, enjoy
the entertainment, and respond literally to
the efforts of these who seek to provide a
genteel and profitable way TO spend our
winter evenings.
Other towns of less ability and wealth
than our own, are doing much to develop a
healthy literary taste-are doing much to
influence and direct the social element in
society, and we should not be behind the
age. There is room for work here, room for
improvement and reform, especially with all
that class of young men who love fun better
than study, present dissipation to future
prosperity and honor, who seem to have
adopted the sentiment of HANS BRkIrnAss's
ballad -
