credit in moupy and in bonds upon the party
out of power instead of on the party in power,
And is there any man OF ordinary intel
ligence who can be deceived by the
plea put forth by the radicals that the present
iameniable and disgraceful condition of the
national credit is TO be attributed TO the Demo-
cratic party out of power instead OF attributins
1t to the party in power They say 1T is the
result OF the Rebellion. You know, and every
man knows, that six months after the war ended
yes, three mouths after 1t ended-the national
credit stood gher than 1t does TO day. The
paper money of the country was worth more
then than it is now; and The reason why the
credit and the honor of the paper money Is so
much deprecated Is because the lookers-on
through the world who took calm survey of
American difficulties and American affairs, So "
that the party intrusted with power had pur-
sued and is still pursuing policy that is cal
culated TO ALLEVIATE the people instead of uniting
them. policy which is calculated to destroy
the resources of the country instead of hus-
banding them; a policy which will diminish
instead of adding 10 the vaue of money; policy
which Is calculated to make us broken people
perpetuated aud its power prolonged? Now,
my friends, they claim another thing. They
| claim that since this war they have so managed
the affairs of the country as to be able to pay
| nearly quarter of the national debt. Well, II
| IL we're true, they have paid II in green backs,

| Mr. Atkinson in his Boston speech the other
night published in the Leading papers of the
country in the interest of the opposition,
| claimed that since the war they have paid
$500, 100000 Of the debt. They know very vel,
If they have, they did not pay it in gold, and If
| they have paid it, they did so in green backs,
| and find fault with the Democratic platform,
| which makes bonds payable in the currency OF
| the country, which they claim as a violation OF
| honor al d step towards reputation. But 1t
is false. They have not paid half OF the national
debt, nor any considerable portion oft. 1t stands

| been paying the national debt, they mean that
| they have been paying the current expenses ol

CHICAGO, February 4.-Nothing important
was heard from any Southern Convention
yesterday. Two members of the Virginia
Convention quarreled and started out for

HARRISBURG, (PAD, February 4.-The
House has passed the Free Railroad bill.
WASHINGTON, February 4.-Adviccs from
Crete state that the Turks acknowledge that
Ali Pasha has entirely failed in his mission.
He is believed to be about to return to
Constantinople. Many of the leading Gre
tans and Turks are beginning to favor even
tual annexation to Greece. Seven more
provinces have voted in favor Of annexation
to Greece. The Cretans have declared them
selves, by majority Of $4,000, free from the
Sultan, and forming part Of the dominion of
the King of Greece. Two more Turkish
battalions had arrived from Thessaly. The
Turkish Governor of Shakia was attacked
by the people and driven back. He is unable
to take possession of his command. Rus
sian vessels are still engaged in rescuing wo-
men and children.
MEMPHIS, February 4.-Galloway and
Rhea, editors of the Avalanche, were heavily
fined by Judge Hunter and sentenced to 70
days imprisonment for contempt OF Court.
ST. LOUIS, February 4.-Patsey Reardon,
who killed Mccain, the prize fighter, recent
", was sentenced to one months imprison-
ment in the county Jail at Belleville, Ill. His
companions, under Is years of age, were
sentenced to one weeks confinement. The
light sentence was on account of a belief that
Mccain died more from over excitement than
from his wounds.
meeting was held in the African church to-
dav, when disturbance was commenced on

row became general. Several negroes and
two policemen were wounded. The rioters

ratification of the new Constitution is pass

are being polled. Colonel Hudson, COM
manding, being informed that the Registers
refused the privilege of challenging voters,
has notified the Judge of Election that this

system is ono of the wisest and best OF
measures. But what justice is there in
sustaining the monopoly of inventions
and in euacting tariff laws for the pro-
lection of home manufactures, so long
as the author is held subject to the
avarice and selfshness of publishers
and theater managers .? The man or
woman who can write a Bancroft's
History of the United States or an
Uncle Toms Cabin, has as much right
to be projected against Inscriptions
marauders and constituencies infringers
as tie man who iuvents patent pump
or a new fashioned oyster can. Author
ship is nowhere invested with so much
dignity as in France. There, the writer
of popular book is insured, By law,
a certain percentage upon every issue
of his works and if his writings come
to be dramatized, be is guaranteed a
percentage of the profits arising there
from. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is
said to be worth, at the very limit
fifty thousand dollars. Suppose she
had been protected as French authors
are, and as patentees are would her
fortune not have been more justly pro-
portionate to the aggregate of profits
which the publishers of her great story
and its dramatists have realized?
International copyright is not only
demanded by enlightened justice, but
is a necessity to the advancement OF
literature and the encouragement OF
literary pursuits in the United States.
Let it once be established that the man
or woman who writes creditable and
desirable book is to be ensured fair
and equitable amount arising from the
sale of the same, and the better class
of books will multiply-multiply for
the reason that inducements are Of
fered to scholars to enter the field of
literature, and because publishers who
try the expensive experiment of giving
new books to the public will be thereby
assured that they are to reap the profits
of their ventures. The reported action
of the Library Committee of Congress
in recommending the passage of an
International Copyright Act is most
encouraging.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

PARTON recent article, in the Atlantic
Monthly, on International Copyright
has evidently had good effect upon
Congress. Nothing need be clearer
than the arguments contained in that
article in favor of such a measure as
IA act of justice to authors and pub
fishers. Under the present state of
affairs, a successful author may live
and too often does live to see the work
Of his brain and the result of his study
producing vast fortunes to booksellers
while be is compelled to injure his own
health and reputation by employing his
pen for the sake of keeping himself and
family from wan: and to see the dram
atIzsd editions of his work enriching a
theatrical manager, into whose play
house he may be too poor to enter.
Nothing is so productive of instruction,
profit aud amusement as our best books {:
and 40 class Of toilers are SO poorly
rsmuasrated as literary men. Every
citizen is willingly taxed to support the

UNITED STATES JUDGEs.-lhe New I ork
Tribune says:
Three of the Judges of the Supreme Court
are relics of the old pro-slavery era when to
doubt the divinity of slavery was to be ex-
cluded from office. They were appointed
like fancy, for their fidelity to the man-own-
ing aristocracy of the South. and have sur
vived in their places on the bench without
change in their political sentiments, while
the aristocracy which appointed them has
been hurled from power and shivered into
thousand fragments. But they still worship
at the ruins of their ancient affairs, and call
those ruins the Constitution They read
the Constitution through the spectacles OF
Calhoun, and find its leading idea to be the
sovereignty of the Southern States over the
National Government, and their ancient
aristocracy over the Southern States. Two
more of the Judges are somewhat mixed In
their political views, but their antecedents
are with the pro-slavery element. Suppose
the Chief Justice and his two associates to
vote one way: the three antediluvian Justices
vote the other. and the other two divide.
There is a tie. Suppose the question before
them to be whether the legislation Of Con-
eress for the reconstruction of the Union
and the deliverance of four millions of peo-
pie from bondage is constitutional. A single
judge wavering one way or the other, may
sustain the law or destroy it, restore the
Union or introduce anarchy that shall involve
years of strife and thousands Of lives. We
all know that the pretense that there Is any
more constitutional law in the Judges oecl-
sion than there is in the Act OF congress
which he overturned is sheer 6osh: us poil-
teal bias. and that only, which guides the de-
cision. Why should the political bias OF one
man override the legislative voice OF the
Marion The vote of three fOurthS or two
