be as plain as the nose on one's face They
have been manufactured for political effect and
to throw dust in the eyes of the people. We
have heretofore exposed the garble1 misrepre-
sentahons of both Mr.. Wells and of that stu
pendous tinancier, MIR. Atkinson; but the Cop
perhead press has exaggerated the errors of
these gentlemen for partisan purposes. The
radical organs, on the other hand are furious
at Mr.. Demar's exposition, and, while carefully
abstaining from any attempt to answer it, they
endeavor to weaken the effect by satire, slang
and personal abuse.
Now, whatever little errors Mr.. Delmar may
have fallen into in his details, or whatever may
be his feelings with regard to our radical Con-
gress and the radical arty, his statement on
the whole is correct, and far more reliable than
those of Mr.. Wells and Mr.. Atkinson. He
shows by figures what we have repeatedly
said-that the income of the Government is
falling off greatly while the expenditures are
increasing, and that the cash in the Treasury
is rapidly wasting away, threatening to bring it
in the course OF few months to bankrupt
condition. Nor do we think Mr.. Delmar is far
from the truth in his estimate of a deficiency of
hundred and ffty-four millions of dollars at
the end of the year, June 30, 1869. His ex-
hbit of the finances was published in the
Herald on Monday. 1t may be seen there how
he reaches this result. He takes facts for the
foundation of his arguments, and his oonclu-
slonS, III the main, are ln0OntroVeruble. Wnat
deplorable state of things for the people of
this country to contemplate Enormously
taxed as we are, there is likely to be one hun
dred and fifty four millions of deficiency added
to the debt at the end of the present fiscal
year. Such is the consequence of incompe-
tent and radical legislation and of the mis-
management of the finances by an incapable
Secretary of the Treasury. The expenditure
for the War Department and for carrying out
| the reconstruction measures Of Congress is
stupendous, and there is the greatest extrava-
gance in everything. At the same time the
taxes that have been taken off in favor of Q
few manufacturers, and the enormous losses
by frauds in the revenue, arising from the
deadlock between and disorganization of the
executive departments of the Government
must leave the Treasury bankrupt unless new
taxes be imposed or loan be made. In any
case we do not see what is to prevent tn,
Treasury being drained of its cash and tn,
debt increased. What the country wants nov
is another and abler set of men in Congress
than those who have brought us to this con
dtion. That is the only hope or remedy VT
see and it remains with the people to deter
mine at the approaching Congressional elec
tions whether this remedy shall be applied o
we are to go on in the same disastrous course
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-09-30

simply ask that the constitutional rule which
permits each State to manage its own institu-
tions shall be applied to them, and they make
an earnest appeal for this to the people OF the
North. The opponents of radicalism believe
in but one construction of the Constitution for
all sections. They repudiate all Congressional
intermeddling with State affairs. They de-
mand that Congress shall keep itself rigidy
within the grant Of powers made by the or
ganio law; and this is what makes it pre-
eminently the Union party of the country. 1t
would preserve the Union by the same spirit
in which our fathers founded it, aud not seek
to dictate at the point of the bayonet to the
people of any State what they shall do,
or what they shall leave undone, in order
to enjoy their constitutional rights, so long as
they conform to their constitutional oblig1-
tions. On the other hand, radicalism prescribes
for the South, under the pressure of armsd
power and the denial of constitutional rights,
conditions not imposed by the Constitution,
and repugnant to the organic law Of most Of
the States; and at the same time it exaggerates
every indication of restiveness under such
abuse of power, and puts forward isolated in
stances as establishing universal principle.
Ought the men who misrepresent those they
oppress, in order to excuse their oppression,
be longer trusted with poweri This is ques-
tion on which the American people must pass
their solemn verdict in November next.

Radical Misrepresentation and Oppres siOl

From the Washington National InteUtgencer
Not a few of the radical organs are seeking
to make capital out of the utterances of the
Independent Monitor, paper published at Tus-
caloosa. Some have not only produced its
violent editorials, but woodcut representing
the hanging of carpet baggers, with accom-
panying prose and verse. 1t is sufficient an
swer to all this to say that such extreme opin-
ions as characterize the Monitor are repu-
dated not only by the press at large, but the
people. No one can deny that there are men
at the South who are incorporate in speech
and foolish in act. But it is the grossest in
Justice to take the ultra sayings of a few Of
this class as indicative of the temper of the
whole people. Undoubtedly the South
ern people would, in view of the gross
violation of the pledges Of Congress,
be excusable for exhibiting no little
heat and resentment. For Congress declared
the war was for the restoration. Time and
again it pledged itself that all that was asked
of the Southern people was that they should
lay down their arms and return to their con-
stitutional obligations. Yet it excluded the
Representatives and Senators elect, and after
months of wrangling, proposed the Howard
amendment, refusing, however, to say that il
accepted it would be bound by it. And wher
1t was rejected it dily-dallied for months
more, and passed the military BILL and at in
vervals most stringent amendments totally
disorgani2ing the existing laws and Govern
ments of the South, and establishing military
despotism and social chaos; and for three Ions
years the people have suffered from Congress
sional rancor and partisanship. The people
of the South are smarting under the
sense OF Congressional injustice. They
cannot see the fairness in undertaking to apply
principles to them which are repudiated by
Northern men in their own States. They

The Muddle About the Finances-Mr. Del

Some people have an idea that figures do
not deceive; but they will find themselves
mistaken If they look at those of the financial
doctors who pretend to represent the condition
of the Treasury and national finances. We
have had the statements of Mr.. Wells, of the
Treasury Department, and of Mr.. Atkinson, of
Massachusetts,, volunteer exponent of our
financial condition in behalf of the radicals,
and now we have the statement of Mr.. Del

These statements differ widely, and leave the

count of the gastronomic tastes of the
reigning sovereigns of Europe:
''Napoleon III.-A5stemious, cautious,
never making the slightest remark to the
servants. Moderate drinker, but great
smoker. Du reste, the Emperor's kind
and considerate manner to every member
of his household, however humble his
position, is worthy of imitation.
"Queen Victoria. Pu-
seyite, liking beef and pastry.
Alexander II.-Hearty eater, connois-
seur in wine, preferring Champagne an 4
Burgundy, and fond of game.
Ellis Prussian Majesty. drinkel
(Roederer, &c., beef, mutton, biscuits and
sweet things. A pleasant and unaffected
host.
ellis Majesty of Austria Silent at
table, eats dark meat, especially mutton
and game, and drinks the national wines
of Hungary and Bordeaux.
"Victor Emmanucl.-Mighty hunter.
Capital appetite, cats only white meat and
small game. Kills wild boar, but never
eats their meat, drinks the Cote dor
wines.
Isabella of Spain-Great appetite,
prefers veal and white meats, drinks Span
ish wines and Bordeaux.
"The Sultan.-Partisan of strong meats,
of rice, of pastry, of eastern fruit, and of
Burgundy.
ellis Dutch Majesty has the finest cellar
in Europe fond of FISH, and especially
salmon. His neighbor Of Belgium eats
very little, and always small game, and
drinks sparingly of Bordeaux.
"The Ex-King of Hanover lives on the
Bohemian pheasant, the woodcock of
Galicia, and smoked ham Of Syria, and
drinks Moselle and the Rhine wines.

Digest publishes long list of names,
among which are Grant, Stevens, Cooke.
Chandler, Harlan, Sumner, Wade,
Sehenck, Sherman, Sprague, and other
similar lights of Republicanism," whose
aggregate wealth is 1874, 100000! Of
course in this list is included the notorious
" Butler" whose fortune was acquired,
the Digest says, by Spoons and Plate.''
The wealth Of these patriots before the
invasion of the South was 81 OPT ,OO0.--
The Digest then goes on to say: "They
commenced the Radical war with million
of dollars. They have run the government
into debt of two thousand millions of
dollars, and have pocketed for themselves
over n@-Seven Hundred Million Dollars
which they hide from taxation, and
demand payment Of principal and interest
in gold from taxed and overburdened
people. May God in His mercy soon
deliver the people from such rulers!'

United States Bonds.

The ''word of Amersca is as good as its
bond, and its bond shall be made. as
good as the brightest gold that ever
shone. That bond bears the great. seal
of liberty. That bond stands for the
freedom of all mankind. That bond
stands for the glory of the American
name. That bond stands for the glorious
army of heroes who overthrew our foes.
That bond stands for the millions of
gentle and heroic women who kissed the
soldier goodbye, who healed the sick,
and said prayers over the dying, and
wrought and suffered, and called on God
that their country might be saved for
their children and their children's chill
dren, free and entire to the end of time.
That bond stands for that army of mar
tyrs who have gone on before, and watch
us with celestial eyes from the shining
hills of Heaven. That bond stands for
iAbraham Lincoln, wisest of statesmen,
pIrest of rulers, gentlest of men,. That
bond is written all over with the hearts
blood of the Republic. Accused be the
traitor that would cheaper that bond;
palsied be the voice that would defame
it. 1t is our bond; our sacred promise
to mankind; our pledge to God that as
he carried us through our wilderness of
fire and tempest, across our Red Sea of
sacrifice for liberty, no jot nor little of
that plighted honor shall fail; but every
promise given in the hour of Our peril
shall be thousand fold redeemed in the
hour of our triImph.-[ Rev. A. d. Mayo

of his success to his mother, and he fully
appreciates it. She is a remarkable hale
and happy old lady, and rejoices in a
quiet way over the success OF her son.

II is very well known that in many
parts of Louisiana the Republicans,
white and black, dared not vote, and
staid away from the polls, preferring to
sacrifice the right of franchise to pre-
serve their lives. A rebel paper of New
Orleans publishes the returns of twenty
three parishes, which gave an aggregate
Democratic majority of 32,032. In eight
of these not solitary Republican vote
was cast, and five others gave respect
lively one, nine, two, one and thirteen
Republican votes. The freedom which
existed may be inferred from the fact
that these parishes, for the most part,
have very heavy colored population.

IT is A VERY curious circumstance
that we find some of the most malignant
political foes of General Grant claiming
him now Democrat though he was u
good enough Republican illafter the cleo
tion. The day afterthe late election two
or three dozen Democratic organs came
out and claimed Grant as a sound broth
er Democrat, whom they had all along
been fighting under misapprehension.-

things as straw Derry mark on your
