The Public Debt.

The exhibit of Mr.. McCulloch Sec
Rotary of the Treasury for Nov. /,
1868 shows that the National Debt
is now $2,641 ,OC2,572, which is a
large increase over previous monthly
reports. The money pressure is such'
that it is rumored by telegraph, that
Secretary McCulIoch will REISSUE
about forty millions of greenbacks to
relieve the country from the great fl
nancial distress which is now crushing
out business men and rendering the
prospects Of the laboring masses still
more gloomy. Still, a frantic con
gress proposes to increase the Ma
tional Debt, and taxation, by the

are some of the fruits of the election
of Grant. When will the people

An Affecting Scene in Court.

For several days past, John Doran,
an Orderly Se,gtant in the United
States army, has / cen on trial for com
pIieity 10 the murder of Miss Ellen
Hicks, at Throgcs Neck, Westchester
countv, New York. Much sympathy
was felt fer Doran, who is a fine look

crowded with men and women during
the trial. On Saturday the case was
concluded, the jury bringing in a YER

NEVER NEVER !

A movement is being put on foot
by the .'pimps" of the World newspa-
per, which proposes to cast the elect
oral vote of Seymour and Blair, for
Grant and Colfax!i This originates
in the idea, no doubt, that those who
engage in its proposal. will obtain
special Caror at the hands of General
Grant, and his administration and
has particular reference to the division
of the spoils. All we have to say Is,
We trust those who engage in such q
d~espicable performance, will meet
the penalty, viz: The contempt OF
all honorable men, both in the Re
publican and Democratic parties
They are like q pack of cowardly
wolves, that stand back till the game
is captured, and then sneak up and

will estimate all such parasites at

ReireKchment.

Our new. NicegPr esidentESchuyler
Colfax, ina recent speech, at Wash
ington City, proposed to raise the
Salary of the President of the United
States to seventy-fve thousand dol
lars a year, and perhaps more! The
Salary of Congressman having been
raised, by the Republicans, from
three, to five thousand five hundred
a year, he very EiscLy suggests that
$25 900 is too small q Salary for so
distinguished a man as General
Grant. Considering also, the fact,
that n Republican Legislature in
Ohio, raised the per diem of its menu
bers from threezto five dollars per
day, it is fair to presume (?) that the
Republican is the GREAT PARTY of
RErRENcHMESr! Why not confer on
General Grant dictatorial powers,
and thus abolish our form of Gov.
eminent and secure perpetual power
to the Republican party? The one
proposition, is about as just as the
other.

by the widest extremes of extrava-
gance under the rule of the new adj
ministration, if tie Radicals can have
their way. Let il rip

Retrenchment.

The retrenchment cf the expendi
lures OF the GoveInment promised the
people by the Chicago platform and by
all the speakers and newspapers of the
Republican party, is being forehadowed
by the party leaders in advocating an
increase of the salary Of the President
elect. The New York Times put forrt.
the following suggestion
THE salary of the President is S23,
900 a year 1t was fixed at this sum
in the early days of the Government
AT that time, it represented five times
as much, if net ten times as much, as it
rcpr scnts now. It is altogether too
small to support the President in proper
style, aud to enable him to meet his
necessary expenditures as Chief Excu
tive of the nation. 1t ought to be, al
the very lowest, 500, 900. We have
no doubt that the next Congress will!
take some action in this matter. Presl-
dent Grant should not be compelled
to live in the cheap boarding house

The Legislature.

AT the adjournment Of the Ohio
Legislature last spring, Congress was
engaged in a nefarious attempt to
impeach, and expe1 President John
son from the White House, in conse-
quence Of his disagreements with'the
Radical Disunionists on reconstruc-
ton. 1t was difficult, at that time,
to foresee what might be the result
of that attempt. The Ohio Legisla-
ture, therefore, deemed it prudent to
take a recess till the 23d of Novem-
Der. Having failed to impeach Pres
ident Johnson and to involve the
country in a new war the necessity
for a session of the Ohio Legislature
commencingin November is obviated.
The Legislature should, therefore,
meet and promptly adjourn till Janu-
airy 1869 ;sthen hold ashort, and spir-
tied session, pull up and go homo.
