The National Finances,

THE Democratic party are making desperate
efforts to win votes by misrepresentation Of
the national finances and false statements in
regard to public expenditures. The bluuders
of Delmar having been fully exposed, Robert
J. Walker has come to the rescue, and he
basis an elaborate harangue against the fnan-
cial policy of the Republican party ON an
assumption which every person familiar
with public events knows to be false, viz,
that the extraordinary expenses Of the
war ceased with the surrender of the
armies of Lee and Johnston. Every soldier
and every intelligent citizen comprehends that
shortly after this period immense sums were
required to pay off the veterans of the war,
and to adjust outstanding bills for warlike
material. The incompetency of Democratic
writers on national finances to discuss such
subjects fairly is only equalled by the in
competency of modern Democratic statesmen
to manage successfully great financial affairs.
Buchanan's Democratic Secretary of the Trea-
sury brought the credit of the nation to so
low an ebb before the war, when the debt was
less than one hundred millions of dollars, that
the Government sought in vain tor loans at IL
per cent. interest. The Democratic Secretaries
Of the Confederate Treasury, acting in strict
accordance with Democratic principles man
aged to destroy Southern credit and currency
long before the Union armies gained their
final victory. If the nation had listened to
the croakings of the Northern Democracy, it
would have long since lost all faith in the
financial future. They predicted at the out
set that the expenses of the war would prove
ruinous, that sufficient taxes could not
be levied to pay the interest of the
debt, and that the principal would be
repudiated. To vindicate their reputation as pro-
phets they are supporting, as party measure,
the Pendleton greenback platform as an initial
step to still more fagrant attack upon the
national credit, and their vituperative denun-
Citations of bondholders are. intended to pre-
pare public sentiment for a crowning act of
injustice. When Congress levied high taxes
these wiseacres set up concerted howl that
the nation would be ruined by the
oppression Of its industrial interests.
Now, since the tax on manufactures has
been greatly reduced, they are sndeavoring to

insufficient to defray expenditures. Always
prophets of evil and agents of evil, they COM
plain of every wise measure adopted, and offer
no policy of their own, save that which leads
to manifest perdition. The nation has great
capacities Of endurance, but if anything could
fatally undermine its prosperity, 1t would be

credit of the national Government, utterly

The United states and Spain.

The United states and Spain.
THE intelligence of the complete, decisive, and
bloodless success of the Spanish rebellion has
been received with marked satisfaction by the
friends Of liberty and progress everywhere,
but more particularly in the United States,
American citizens will not be displeased that
their Government has been the first to recog
nize the new order of things in country that
has been so long oppressed by despotism of
the most offensive and contemplate character;
and the congratulations addressed by Minister
Hale to the Duke de la Tore will be con-
sidered as something more than diplomatic
formslities, and as expressing the sincere and
honest sentiments Of the country which he
represents. When the revolution appeared
to be a thing accomplished, Mr.. Hale tele
graphed to Washington for instructions, and
an immediate reply was sent directing him to
recognize the new Government at Madrid. In
compliance with these instructions, he had an
interview with Duke de la Tore, and con-
graduated the Provisional Junta and the
people of Spain, in the name of the people of
the United States, on the success so marked
in revolution of SO grand proportions.
All good men will hope that new era Of
peace, prosperity, and happiness has begun
for the people of the Spanish peninsula, and
their only fear is that in the exultation over
their new-found liberty they may rush into
excesses which will give their old foes, bigotry
and tyranny, a fresh hold upon them, and make
their last state worse than their first. So far
affairs appear to have been managed prudently
and well, and if the same spirit of moderation
and wisdom prevails in the establishment of
permanent government, our hopes rather than
our fears may be realized, and the peaceful
consummation of the Spanish revolution will
awaken a spirit of liberty in Europe which
will lead to results the final proportions of
which can only be dimly imagined at the pre-
sent time,

SHERIFF LYLE's audacity received well-de-
served rebuke from the full bench of the Court
of Common Pleas yesterday afternoon. Judge
Peiroe stated that "the Court is unanimous
upon the broad question as to the authority
of the Mayor, and that his authority cannot
be interfered with" Judge Ludlow, whose
digniaed and impartial course upon the bench
presents such striking contrast to the record
made by MIR. Sharsvood in another court, was
emphatic in his endorsement Of the views of
the three Republican judges declaring that
If the instructions given by Lyle to his depu-
ties ''are intended to mean"-as they certainly
soere intended to mean-"that officers will be
arrested by deputies, when engaged in the
arrest of those disturbing the public peace, he
agreed that such an arrest would be a monstrous
act" He was clearly Of the opinion that
Lyle's pretentious claim OF the right to the
exclusive guardianship of the public peace at
and around the polls was totally unwarranted
by law.
Judge Allison, promptly recognizing the
possible result Of Lyles daring attempt to
place the city under the control of Demo,
cratic mob, has also written letter to Mayor
McMiohael, In which he declares his readiness
10 issue his warrant for the arrest OF Lyle and
his deputy ruffans, on proper complaint |
any attempt should be made to-day to exercise
the paramount or exclusive authority claimed
Ia Lyle's incendiary proclamation.

tion Society, account Of the mcasrc supply

reached Liberia, he would find u species Of

great abundance on the trecs-all oil which he
found to be true, but neither he nor any of
