summing it Up.

In recent speech, in Illinois, Gen.
Logan closed as follows:
Now, my fellow-citiZens, l desire to read
for my conclusion some extracts l have
prepared, which, think, sums up this
whole question in a nutshell:
Why the Democratic party should not
be trusted
First-The Democratic party forced
upoa the country and the Republican
administration the expenditure of more
than S4 ,O0O, ,OO0, 900 from the Treasury
iSecoad-That the rebellion was begun
for the express purpose of overthrowing
Republican institutions and establishing
upon their ruins slaveholding oligarchy
and that all the burdens of taxation,
past, present, and prospective, are the
necessary consequence of a Democratic
rebellion.
THird-The vast sacrifice oflife on the
battle field, and IN the hospitals and
prisons. is Justly due to the reasonable
actions and purposes of the Democratic
leaders.
Fourth-That in the preparation of
this rebellion the whole power of the
last Democratic administration was ex-
hausted, the public treasury plundered,
the navy scattered or dismantled, the
army placed under the command of
traitors and carried beyond the reach of
the incoming administration, and with
in the borders of the contemplated re-
volutionary Government.
FTfth-That all these acts were done
in obedience to the orders of the Demo-
cratic conspirators, and by the advice
and with the approval of the democratic
leaders, in every section of the country.
iSSrtIt-These same leaders controlled
the Democratic n dominating Convention,
dictated its platform, and designated its
candidates.
,Seventh-That these same leaders, by
their public orators and press, declare 1t
to be their settled policy that Democratic
success shall restore to the late Demo-
Icrats and rebels in arms supremacy in
the government of the nation, and that
all that was lost by rebel defeat on the
battle field, shall be regained by the
election of the Democratic candidates.
Eiqhth-That they, the Democratic
rebel leaders, affirm only, as -conse-
uuence of their triumph, the renewal of
the war, the destruction of the reorgan-
lied States, and the overthrow of the
Republican representative branch of the
Government, and its subsection to Exc
cutive will and dictation.
Neat, a0hy should the Republican party
be trusted?
Erst2That of all its millions of men
not one, during the war, was traitor.
Every man stood firmly by liberty, by
the Constitution, by the flag, and the
Union.
,Secnnd-That its civil administration
of the Government, Notwithstanding the
exigencies of the war has saved the
peopIe. as compared with Democratic
rule, $50 600, ,OOO. within the last eightyears

IMPUDENCE.

For cool unblushing impudence the
following from the "great unhung"
Vallandigham exceeds anything ever
practiced in this country even by the
+" ImmortalJ. N.'' q il ts2l
RADICAL APPOINTMENTS IN OHIO.
Vallandigham. does not hesitate to tel
egraph orders to Secretary McCulloch.-
The following was received at the Treas
ury Department last night from Ohio:
To H McCulyoch, Secretary of the Treas
ury, Washington.
Why are Radicals still appointed to
office in this State. This thing must
stop. f G. l.. VALLANDIGHAM.
A similar dispatch was received the
same day from Vailandigham by Mont
gomery Blair.-[ Wash. Dispatch.
One would suppose from the above
that the consummate blatherskite, VAL
landigham, really thinks he is a great
dictator who has the supreme power to
order as he wills, and everybody is bound
to obey him. Or that the Presidential
election was over and his putty man,
Seymour was in the White House, and
he, as a plant teol of the man who se-
cured his nomination, was ready TO obey
the com ,nands of this Supreme High
Priest of the K. x. G's.reo1 8-.si L
1t is barely possible that the news o.
the Vermont and Maine elections had
not yet reached Dayton when the above
"order" was issued. 5s.1gla ffie @

being an average of over Sl0,O00,00O pei
annum.
Third-That it has actually paid and
Cancelled nearly S1,7OO, 100000 of the
liabilities incurred during the war, and
since the close OF the war; while steadily
reducing the public taxes, it has reduced
the public debt from 81, 757, ,6S9, ,5S9.43 to
g, ,510 545, 1914, making total pay
ment of the debt of S2f7 As, ,6Si SO.
Eourth-That it has reduced taxes on
different articles, the two last Congress
es (the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth) 10
$3.50, ,O00, 900.
FFfth-That but for the obstinacy of
the Democrats in Congress and of their
plant tool, Andrew johnson, reduct-
ion of the interest on the public debt,
amounting to at least $4,000, 900 per
annum, would have been provided for
by the Funding Bill.
.Sirth-That the Republican party, by
its candidates and platform, is irrevoca-
bly, pledged to economy, to the mainten-
ance of the public faith, the preserva-
ton of the peace and the unity of the
States, the liberty and prosperity of the
people, and that all its pledges in the
past have been redeemed, offering the
best guarantee of the value of these
pledges to the people in the future.

Union County Ticket.
Carpet-Baggers.

The last CHRONICLE, under the above
head, charged that we have on our ticket
"a gentleman from Memphis, Tenn
This is news to us, as well as The
CHRONICLE. This reference we presume
is a thrust at our talented candidate for
Clerk, James B. Campbell, ESQ.,, a son
of that sterling old Democrat, DIR. John
Campbell, of Wheeling Township, our
candidate for Clerk was born in old Bel
mont, and has ever since resided in her
limits. Because Mr.. c., two years ago,
visited Memphis. in view of making it
his future home home, if he liked it, but
did not, and was absent for four weeks,
he is called carpet-bagger. Mr.. Camp
bell voted here last fall, and should not
have done so, if he went away with no
intention of returning. But THE
CHRONICLE could not let the trivial incl
dent pass, thinking it might enure to the
benefit of its pet candidate, now in office.
-[Gazette.
We have no disposition to make per-
sonal fight on any candidate, but when
candidates take the stump as public
speakers they must expect their course
to be criticised. Mr.. Campbell talks
about carpet t-baggers, and we affirmed
that Democratic Convention one year
ago refused to nominate him because he
was not citizen, the Gazette does not
deny this, nor could it with any degree
of consistency as its Temporary editor, did
more to produce that result than any one
else. 1t, however, does come to the res
cue of Mr.. Campbell, and affirms that
Mr.. Campbell voted last fall. This it re-
CARDS as clincher, and, like the Ostrich
with its head in the sand, it looses sight
of the danger raised by its defence. If
the above statement of the Gazette is
correct it proves that Mr.. Campbell is
not only carpet-bagger from Tennessee,
but that he has been guilty of a far worse
offense in voting illegally at the last
election. s
If, as the Gazette AYERS, Mr.. Campbell
visited Memphis, q in uiew Of making it
his future home If he liked it," he ceased
to be citizen of Ohio whenever he left
the limits of the State under that inten-
ton. The Intention entertained at the
time of leaving the State, and under
which the voter leaves the State, deter
mines this question of citizenship, and
unless Mr.. Campbell intended to come
back to Ohio in any event and whether
he liked it or not, in Tennessee, and
never for moment abandoned that in
tention, he voted fraudulently at the late
election.
Mr.. Campbell may well pray to be de-
1ivered from such defences as the above,
for it has left him in far worse condi-
tion than our article about his being a
carpet-bagger.

Our Debt One-Fourth Paid.

1t has been usual to state the reduc-
tion of our public debt at $250, 200, 900,
that being the amount by which the
ascerta;ned debt liquidated at the Treas
ury by the issue of bonds or other seeu-
rifles has been reduced. We have been
ca, eful to couple this statement with
the fact that, beside this reduction of the
ascertained debt, we have paid about
$500, ,0O0, 600 in back pay, bounties, over
due contracts, transportation, and the
other expenses of closing up the war
These we're really incurred and due in
August, 1865. and should be added to
the amount of the ascertained debt of
that date, in order to arrive at the maxi
mum amount of the debt and the total
SUM by which it has been reduced. Mr..
Edward Atkinson, in speech. delivered
Yesterday, at Worcester, before the Re-
publican Convention of Massachusetts,
presents the actual facts in their true
light, showing that the actual indebted
ness, liquidated and unliquidated, was
on August ], 1865, s., ,2S7, 733. .329; that it
was on June 80, lS6S, 81. .4S5, ,000, 600
being an actual reduction of $500. 733 ,329
in the principal of the debt. By the
same rapidity of payment we could pay
off the entire debt within ten years.
The figures are as follows: The total
amount of revenue received by the Gov
ernment for the three years from April
/, 1865, to June 80, 1868, has been ST.
54O, ,05S .5S3. Out of this there were paid,for
back pay of the Army and Navy and
war contracts, within fifteen mon this
after the close of the Rebellion, STA,
S65, ,S51. And there were paid for boun-
ties, pensions, prize money. reimbursing
States for war expenditures, claims of
loyal men, Freedmen's Bureau, expens-
es of Reconstruction, and National Gem
eteries, S145, ,9I2, ,401. These two sums
amount to total sum to be added to
the National Debt, as it stood on the
books of the Treasury April L, 1865, Of
s920, ,77S, ,252- The ascertained debt was
50, 366, ,955, ,O77, making the aggregate of
S., ,2S7, ,733, 329, as bove stated. We have
therefore, actually reduced our debt by
$500, 733, 1923.
We can now arrive at the ordinary
expenses of the Government, exclusive
of war expenditures.

BLAIR AND SEYMOUR REpUDIATED.

TRIBUNE OFFICE NEW YORK, Sept. Il. 1868.
The Maine election has been marked with
more than ordinary excitement, and the largest
vote ever cast has been polled. The Republi-
cans in all the large towns, as we learn from
our dispatches, are already engaged in rejoic-
ings over their immense gains. The majority
is believed to be between 10000 and 25 900, far
exceeding the outside estimates of our friends
Representative Blame sends us the following
from Augusta: .'As nearly as can now est-
mate, the total vote will show Is 900 for Cham
berlain, and $4,000 for Pilsbury; majority

1860 or 1864.

graphs from Augusta: eve have carried every

House of Representatives, and have rolled up al
popular majority for Governor Chamberlain of
