sailors the moment the Rebels laid down
their arms, Go we have no further use for
you To the sick, wounded and disabled,
Take care of yourselves To the owners of
"half- constructed vessels and to those who
chad contracted in good faith to supply food,
clothing, and ordnance, We repudate our
contracts and refuse your supples!' We
have not, of course, room to present here all
Mr. AtkinsOns reasonings and figures, but we
take single item. There was due on the LIST
of April, 1865, to the contractors for supplies,
and to the soldiers for back pay, four hundred
millions Of dollars. This debt formed no part of
the 81, 1861, 100000 which was the amount of the
debt of the United States as it appeared on the
books at the Treasury Department. Yet the
United States as truly owed it as if it had been
paid with the legal-tenders borrowed from
the " bloated bond-holders," and its form been
changed from entries on the debit side Of the
books of paymastcrs to fye-twenties duly
registered on the ponderous account books OF
Secretary McCulloch. At that time, too, the
cry of tie Democrats was that the United States
owed three billions of dollars. As Mr.. Atkinson
says, the Democrats were right for once but
they find it at this time convenient to forget,
lust rs Mr.. Pendleton now never alludes to his
former opinions on greenbacks.

We are afraid we shall have to take it back.
We spoke the other day of The Suns COM
ments on the Maine election as emitting it TO
DC considered the fairest of our Democratic
journals But now comes the Hon. Brick Pom
eroy with his little claim TO the same dstinc-
ton. Hear him.:

State nor To make heavy gains there Some editors have
dragged ON great prospects there and told their read
ersfhe Democrats were to carry the state And now

Doubtless this last gentle insinuation was
meant for Democratic editor not III the Hon.
Bricks Office But We grieye TO observe that
his editorial note" taker has not been notified
of Mr.. Bricks discovery that, in cases like that
of Maine. honesty is the best policy. The same
issue from which the above is taken contains
also this, which is evidently modelled on the
best efforts of The World:

Mr.. jefferson Davis has been very well re-
ceived, it is known, in England and is now, it
is stated, the guest of an Earl; but q London
newspaper announces still more important
fact-that Mr. Andrew Johnson will, after
March prox., visit Europe to get away from
dsagrceable associations and reflections, and
to unbend his mighty mind by travel. We
have no objection to his departure, if he will
only take all his admirers and supporters with
him, and especially Mr.. Weles, who. having
been Secretary of the Navy, ought for once III
his life to smell the briny deep and feel
the salt sea-gale blow upon his venerable
cheek. We stlpulate also for the debarkation
of the editor of The National Intelligencer.
These parties, in tarpauins aud pea-jackets,
grouped upon the quarter deck and singing
A Life Oh the Ocean Wave" would present
a spectacle more thrilling than anything in
Coopers novels.

The Democracy carried Pennsylvania in
October after the loss of Maine in 1856, aud
the Seymour Rebels are endeavOring to draw
comfort from this fact Let us see. Hamlin
(Rep) was elected Governor of Maine III Sep
tember, 1856, by 1851 majority, and Scott
Dem) was elected Canal Commissioners OF
Pennsylvania in October following by ma
iority of 2,715. In the Maine State election
of 1860, Washburne carried the State by 1901
majority, and Pennsylvania followed with a
majority of S2,lGi for Gov Curtin Qtep). In
1854 Cony (Rep.) carried Maine 10y 1913
majority, and Pennsylvania, instead of falling
| into the arms of the Rebels, gave Lincoln 90
O75 majority. Messrs. Rebels, the figures look

The Russians do not mean to abandon their
recent conquests in Central Asia, as has several
times been reported. None of the important
towns of Bokhara which have been occupied
will be evacuated and the army will at once
receive large reGnfOrcements Russia has only
the alternative, in the Central Asian question,
to leave the whole of that country to the sole
influence Of Great Britain, or to forestall Great
Britain by bringing it under Russian rule.
None of the independent countries which lie
between Russia, China, India, and Persia, pos
sess any vitality, and all must sooner or later
fall prey to either Russia Or England. The
certainty of this result begins to be generally
understood by the English; they seem to have
made up their mind not to dispute to the Rus
sans any part of Independent Tartary; but, in
return, they demand that Russia leave Afghan
istan to the exclusive protection of England.
This point Russia will probably refuse to con-
cede and thus Affghanistan may be the first
bone of contention between the two formidable
rivals.

is hatred Of the negro, whose dearest hope is 10
reduce him again to abject servitude, denounce
their merciful conquerors as traitors and van
dals. The North is arragned as the Judas OF
the age. the enemy of all good, and the authors
of the Rebellion claim to be the sole possessors
of what little patriotism is left on the Ameri-
can continent.
This picture of the relations of the con-
auered Rebellion to the Union is but family
drawn; the great change since the close Oh the
war has been so gradually effected that 1t Is
not easily understood. Then the South

now they are uplifted in menace. NO one

that in few years he would dare TO afraisn

that letter which holds up the Government
which Grant represents as an unconstltutiohai
despotism 1t is objectionable ins0lence thae

tend that his rights under the Constitution are

of his country, and who fought for years 10

in submitting to the Government when they
could no longer resist, had been met
Gin a spirit of frankness and cordially" by
loyal men, our national troubles would have
ended. He and his comrades, and the corrupt
leaders of the Democratic party, throw the
whole blame of the war, and the debt, ana the
miseries which have followed, upon the North.
The men who saved liberty are accused OF
plotting to destroy it. and the worst Rebels IN
the land announce themselves as the only true
defenders of the Republic. TO this have we
been brought by n generosity without example
Do we regret t' No. The insolent ingrati-
rude which rcpays the magnanimity oil the
American people makes it the greater virtue
We would still forgive the Rebellion, but we
will not surrender the Union.

The only important fact stated by Mr.. s. J.
Tilden in his late speeches in this city, is
that he "reads The TRIBUNE at the break
" fast table," This is very well; but il
he would also read it at the dinner
table, and the tea table, and the supper
table, his advance in political grace would
he more rapid. 1t might at first take away his
appetite, just as the water-cure gives patients
bols; but pretty soon he would be redeemed,
regenerated. Disseminated, aud with better
appetite than ever.

Young Mr.. Adams, WHO'S famous for being the
son of his father, and the grandson of his
grandfather, has been crowned with re-
petition of the great honor of his life--a selec-
ton for the distinction of being beaten by
seventy-five thousand majority for the Cover

accepts, in letter, wherein he assures the
Yankee Democrats who propose to support
this son-and grandson-of the Federalists that
there are two matters involved in the present
campaign, zone important the other vital"
The important matter, even to an Adams, is
the financial question: the vital matter is that

on neither does Mr.. Adams exhibit satisfactory
proof of orthodoxy. "The financial question
"was not treated by the New York Convention

that the Republican party is all wrong, he does

purpose, quick of intelligence, and hampered
