spent for its expenses. in addition to
its payments on the public debt, more
than one thousand millions of dollars.
OF this sum there has been nearly
100000, 900 spent on the Army and
Navy and for military purposes
This IS nearly one-third of the nation
al debt This was spent IN time of
peace. Now, when Mr.. SEYMOUR
made this statement, he and the Cop
perhead newspapers and speakers who
are giving It a wide circulatian knew

The statement that such an amount
was spent for the Army and Navy IN
time Of peace is intended to convey
the idea that no part OF 1t was to IL

war there were nearly a million OF

FIVE hundred vessels with proper crews,

The Beauties Of Democracy In Louisiana.

What the rebel element of the pop
ulation in Louisiana is capable of do
ing the New Orleans Massacre proved
That it would gladly secure its SUI
bremacy by the most ruthless and
bloody means is beyond doubt nor
can there be any question that the sit
uation of the State is very critical.
The only comment which the Demo
cratic newspapers think fit to make
upon the anarchy produced by men,
OF whom the late Mayor Monroe is
preventative, is a sneerlng eiacula-
ton of carpet aggers;" that is, there
would be 10 trouble if Monroe & Co.
could have their way. What their
way is was displayed in the Massacre.
Governor Yarmouth, Of Louisiana.
has made an official reqnisition upon
the President for military force with
which to preserve order IN the State.
He forwards letters from various off =.
GERS and citizens describing the disor-
der that prevails Men are shot down
In the streets ard at their homes. and
10 efforts are made to bring the Grim
.laIs to justice. One of the judges
refuses to 90 into a certain parish
without soldiers to protect HIM; and
the sheriff, IN this parish has resigned,
owning his inability to arrest Of
Tenders. In another parish men, wo-
men and children are murdered by
bands Of assassins who remain unmo-
Tested. In another, the peace Is pre-
served only by armed bodies of volun-
teer citizens. The Governor esti-
mates that hundred and fifty per
sons have been murdered in the State
during the last mouth and half that
a secret organization, hostile to the
colored population, has been formed,
with the intention of coercIng the col
ored vote; that it was its known de-
cumstances, the Lieutenant Governor
and the Speaker of the House; and
that it unquestIonably meditates a
bloody revolution.
The facts of the recent history OF
the State. and the probabilities of the
case, all confirm the Governors rep.
reservations and the duty of the
S4NAIiAN ~ t'lt'4Il' Lie III ucL Gdhe CIV
cry means to preserve order in Louis
lana. Nor can he plead, as at the
| time of the New Orleans Massacre
that he does not understand the facts
and has not been warned in time
He has heard " ade Hampton, at &
public meeting, recommending the co
ert1on of the colored vote in Soutl
Carolina and he knows, as the PEG
| pie know. what that means Louisia
ma would gladly follow Wade Hamp
tons counsel.
Meanwhile, it is useful to remember
that 1t is to the class, against whose
crimes upon loyal citizens Governor
Yarmouth invokes aid of the Presi
dent. that the Democratic party pro
| poses to give exclusive political pow
er in the State, and intrust the right:
: and welfare of the orderly and patri
otic population.

the circumstances, 10 about the best on re-
cord. AZ one Of the stations whore the
train stopped, . large, strapping fellow
came swagesring along the platform, and,
with jnst enough Of fire water inside to
make him ugly, abused everybody with

ductor Jumped from his train and gave
chase, amid the cheers Of the excited pass

like "qn.rtsr horses. The pursuer and
pursued began to get "out Of breath," and
