QRRATLY SURPRIsEpSOn Monday last,
gentleman and his wife, who reside In Virginia,
about one-and-a-half miles from Alexandria,
started out to take an evenings ride, leaving
" 900 In the house. After riding n short dis.
tnnce, the lady remarked to her husband that
she had forgotten something and would have
to return to the house, which she did, staying
but few minutes, when she rejoined him, and
they proceeded on their pleasure trip. On re.
turning home they missed the money aud
searched for II, butin vain. Yesterday morn
ing, at an carly hour, the gentleman called on
Detective McDevitt, at his residence, in south
Washington, and stated the above facts to
him, This energetic officer, rs usual, put his
head to work, and in u short time came to the
conclusion that the wife must have taken tho
lost treasure. The husband could not think
that his better half could be guilty OF robblng
him, Notwithstanding there was n difficulty
existing between them. The detective know
Ing human nature better than the applicant,
assured him that such was certainly the case,
and gave him advice as to how he could Rscer-
tain whether or not she was In possession OF

M tho carchlly prepared opecoh
which Judge Scohcld "a delivering
over the county, be attempts 10 de-
fond tho National Rank sysiom on tho
ground that the hanks return 70 tho
Treasury as much money in the shape
Of taxes a. they receive for intcrcst
upon the bonds which they hold.
There is not word Of truth in this
plea, and Il is Off character with most
Of Scofcld's pcrversions. The facts
are simply those The banks have, eay
Sl00, ,0O0, 900 Of bonds of tho United
States, bearing interest at per cent.
in gold. Upon this is predicted their
circulation, The United States pay
the banks s24 100000 In gold as an
nual interest upon their bonds, or
S33, ,000, ,000in legal-tondcrs for whatl.
Simply to furnish to the people a cir
culating medium. Now, if the Gov
ernmenu would call in their bonds, and
issue greenbacks in their place, they
would save that $4,000, 600 a year.
As it would take the place OF the Ma
tional bank circulation, IL would not
increase the amount of the present
currency one dollar. 1t would be in
finitely a bettcr currency, for what
man does not prefer greenbaclS,
which is legal-tender for all debts,
to a National Bank note, which is not
a legal-tender for debts This $685.
100000 interest is, therefore, thrown
away for nothing.
What taxation the capital in tho
banks pays it would pay anywhere, if
it was embarked in any legitimate
business. We wantonly throw away
more than enough money on these
banks every year than would suffice
to maintain the whole army of the
United States if it was reduced TO the
standard in numbers which it ought
to, and will be, if the Democracy on
tain power.--EYie Observer.

astounding Erfraragance.

Secretary Stanton, in his report,
December, 1865, gave as the cost OF
the War Department for peace organ
ization, the sum of thirty-three mil.
lions of dollars a year. From official
records it is shown that the War De-
partment, in three years since tho
close Of the war, has cost six hundred
and ten millions of dollars, or more
than six times the estimate Of Secre-
tary Stanton. The excess of expendi-
lures over the Secretary's estimate is
owing TO the extravaganza of tho
Radical Congress This body of des.
perate political gamesters vote away
the public money as if there was no
bottom TO the public purse. They
Uote Il and their friends act Il and d.
ride Il icth them. They vote it out
Of the Treasury in order that por-
ton of IL may find its way into their
own pockets. Congress is fnll of these
thieves, who are in partnership with
the contractors. Six hundred and
ten millions spent on the army in
three years Of peacei If Stanton's
estimate of the amount necessary was
oorrect--thirty-three millions per year
tho thieving contractors and their
thieving partners in Congress have
stolen five hundred and eleven mil

three years Is it not time to turn

The Debf Increasing.

If they had done nothing else that
demanded the condemnation of the
people, the Radicals ought TO be turned
out of power for increasing the public
debt in time OF profound peace, The
official monthly report Of Secretary
McCulloch shows that the public debt
increased tioelUe millions Of dollars
during the month of August Just past.
This is at the rate Of one hundred and
forty-four millions per annum. If
we give the Radicals another lease OF
power and they increase the debt at
the same rate every year, we shall
have five hundred and seventy-six
millions of dollars added to the pub.
lie debt during the next Presidential
term.
This increase Of debt would render
increased taxation necessary, in order
to avoid reputation. Now is it pos
sible for the people to stand an increase
of taxationG 7 Are they not already
taxed to the farthest limit of endur-
ance These are questions which tho
people can answer for themselves.
They ought to consider we'll before
they answer through the ballot box,
for their answer will stand for four
years. They may rue it before three
months but there will be no taking
it back.
1t behooves the people Of Clearfield
county especially TO consider well this
matter of debt and taxation. After
all that they have lost in the last six
years. they can poorly afford TO pay
the taxes levied on them at present.
Can they afford TO have their taxes
increased? ? They cannot; but even IL
they could they ought not to consent
to il whom they know that the money
is wasted on worthless negroes in the
South.
