Truth Cropping Ont.

The Neu York Tribune, of Saturday, in a
leading editorial, charges that the Demo-
Gratis in the adhering States regarded the
war essentially unconstitutional and un-
Just" and that "the Federal Government
was the revolutionary aggressor, the Rebel
warfare upon it defensive and conserva-
tive;" but it is candid enough to concede
that:
They did not desire per Sc the dissolu-
ton OF the Union, (and we believe this true
originally of the bulk of the Rebels as well
as of the Copperheads."O
The stereotyped charge of the Republican
editors has been, that the object the South
ern people had in view in flying into arms,
was the dissolution and the destruction of
the Union, and that the Democrats North
sympathized in this object. Now, the Neo
York Tribune says that neither Of these par
ties desired dissolution of the Union, but
that they sought to wiring from the Repub-
lican party concessions that that party con-
sidered unmanly. There is abundant evil
dence in existence to prove that the lead
ers of the Republican party, had they been
so minded, could have prevented the War
and saved the Union, without consenting
to any degrading concession; but those
leaders would not consent to any conces-
sion because they thought if they were to
do so it would work the overthrow of the
Republican party. 1t was, therefore, to
"save the Republican party from rup-
ture," that the country was allowed to
drift into War.

Alas for our national credit if these prof
ligate schemes of squandering it away up
on new and rash enterprises, without dol
lar of capital, are to be carried outi But
there are men at Washington by the hun
dred, who act confidently upon the princi-
pie that the public credit is their goose, to
be plucked, and past success in this line is
a powerful spur to that enormous, and cor
rupt, and greedy lobby which infests our
seat of Government.
Weshall watch the representatives of the
people when all these bills come up to be
voted upon. Having taken no account, as
yet, of the swarm of private claims, which
were never in greater or more clamorous
force than now, we have begun by giving
plain statement of some of the larger

tFrom the Cincinnati Commercial, Republican,
How the Money Goes.

The great question of the day is not re-
construction. nor impeachment, nor the
next Presidency-but 1t is the more vitality
important question of Expenditure, vs.. rev.
enue. Nations, no more that individuals,
can live beyond their means without dis
aster. If the party in power shall succeed:
after the reductions they have made and
are yet to make in taxation, to cut down
expenditures enough to make the ends
meet, they may appeal to the people with
some hope of success. But in order to do
this, they have got to reform and retrench
in most vigorous and earnest manner,
and to turn deaf ear to all the numerous
and plausible schemes for depicting the
treasury. Ii they go on as they have al
ready begun in Congress, the ship that car
ries our national credit will assurediy be
| run upon the breakers in less than six
months.
In the conviction that the people care
more about the financial question than Is
commonly supposed, we have been at the
pains to prepare a few tables of expendi-
ture, based upon the official documents
printed by Congress since the commence
ment of the present session. These cover
the whole field of the appropriation bills,
| as reported or passed, and have not before
been brought before the public except in a
fragmentary manner, and in three or four
of the items. 1t will, perhaps, astonish the
unsophisticated reader, who has seen little
of the amazing fertility of our busy legis-
lators, to learn that the number of bills re-
ported in the House alone, since the first OF
December last, amounts to over nine hun
dred and sixty, while the Senate has given
birth to more than half as many more
This is exclusive of all reports, resolutions
and miscellaneous documents, and as
much the larger portion of these bills ap-
propriate money, it becomes interesting tc
know what they are all for. In the firs
place, the House has appropriated the fol
lowing sums for what may be termed regu
lar expenditures, besides a multitude no
yet passed ,s..r

II Uncle Sans farm should not all suffer
incontinent distribution among these great
corporations, until nothing is left but the
icebergs of Alaska with which to reward
our army veterans, it will not be the fault
of Congress.
But the most startling of al these pro-
posed methods of impoverishing the nation
remains to be noticed. This is the national
bond subsidy business, which began some
four years ago with the first chartered
Pacific railroad, and has since been ex-
tended until it seriously threatens, unless
arrested, to bankrupt the national treasury.
By this ingenious system, the railway or
other corporations that are LUCKY enough
to get Congress to guarantee their credit
borrow millions upon millions of national
bonds, on which they agree to pay back
the interest when they shall be in paying
condition, and to secure the principal by a
second () mortgage upon their roads. Look
| at the figures of a few of these schemes
now before Congress, with the approXi-
mate amount of bonds which they call for.

ket is still stringent.
"La Belle Helene" is still flourishing at
the French Theater. 1t is announced that
on Saturday next "La Grand Duchess de
Gerolstein" will be given positively for the
last time.
It must be acknowledged that Mr.. Bate
man. the director of the French Opera
House, is not only man of great enter
prise and energy, but an ingenious man
ager in the operatic line. While the Acad
emy of Music and Pixies Opera House were
struggling for obtaining moderate audi
ences, and while neither Lagrange nor
Brignoli, nor any of the other celebrated
artists of our city were able to attract the
public, as might have been expected, the
above named manager has had a continual
success. This fact is, in my opinion, not
only owing to the quality of artists in a
musical point of view, but to the judgment
which Mr.. Batemen uses in selecting such
operas as are apt to suit the taste of the
public; in paying particular attention to
the choruses, an item sadly neglected by
almost every director, in procuring
new, pleasing, and even brilliant cos
TUNES and decorations, calculated to
attract the eye, and, in fact, giving pecu-
liar stamp to all the works which he un-
dertakes to bring before the public. There
is nothing done half way with him, and it
seems pity that MIR. Bateman should not,
for the benefit of the New York public,
take the management of either of our large
opera houses. He would be sure to be sue
cessful, and the public. would be sure to
hear once an opera complete in its details,
instead of performances in which one
prima donna or one artistic has to do all the
work, and runs in constant danger of fail
ing through the deficiency OF the orches-
ira, chorus, and other surroundings.
