Government of the nation to WELD and di-
rect it.
The people do not desire any such renewal
of strife, nor do they intend to permit it. Tue
open attempt Of the Rebels to regain power
has aroused the strongest and sternest oppo-
siton. 1t has infused into the ranks of the
Republican party the utmost enthusiasm and
energy. The Democratic party, by giving
the Rebel element the control aud direction of
its policy, has awakened to renewed life aud
action the patriotic spirit which crushed the
Rebellion, and which will crush this attempt
to renew its aims and efforts. Since Wade
Hampton, and Forrest, and Beauregard, and
all the most violent leaders of the Rebellion have
come to be the foremost leaders of the Demo-
cratic party, and are found now marshalliug
the great mass of that party, as they mar
shalled the hosts of the Rebellion, to the
contest ag ainst Grant and the National Gov
eminent, there Is no room for doubt as to
the aim and temper of the contest. 1t is a
renewal OF the old struggle. 1t is an effort
to restore the Rebels to power. And to
that the loyal people Of the whole country are
invincibly opposed.

ON Me ". 7. Evening Post.

From he ". Y. Evening Post
The Democratic platform declares that the
Five-twenty bonds must bs paid off in paper
money, now worth seventy cents on the dol
lar. We have asked repeatedly whether the
paper money is to bs raised by taxing the
people or by printing it. Leading Democrats
differ in their answers. Some say by taxa
tion, some by printing.
Mr.. Pendleton, who would be Mr.. Seymour's
Secretary of the Treasury if Mr.. Seymour were
elected, is most specific in his plan. He
would meet the $500, 000, 900 already redeem
able by printing the greenbacks, except the
small amount provided by selling the surplus
gold in the treasury; and would withdraw
the national bank notes, amounting to nearly
$3OO,OOO,OOO, as a compensation. He would
thus increase the aggregate paper issues by
some $l25, 900, 900. The increase in the active
currency would be about 5000, 900, 900,
because the greenbacks now held as reserve
by banks would be released.
The shock to the credit of the Government
by such step would put the premium on
gold very high. Every one per cent. OF depre-
citation of the currency, with eight hundred
millions of 1t in circulation, would tax the
people eight millions of dollars. The total
result could not fail to be a random tax on the
Wages, salaries, and savings of the people, of
much more than the full value of the portion
OF the bonds repudiated.

A Bad Business.
From The ~. Y. World.

From The ~. Y. World.
How is this In his late exculpatory re-
port, Major-General Meade thus speaks of
certain proceedings in the case of g. w. Ash
burn, leading Georgia radical killed in
negro brothel at Columbus, in that State, on
the night of the 30th of March last
"Hence many arrests were made of paroles
who were subsequently released. on its being
proved that they were neither particlpRtors
nor had any knowledge OF the case In all
these cases the parties were we'll treated, and
on betLg discharged were paid the usual witness
fees for the period they were removed from
their business"
1t will be seen here that the "many" ar
rested parties we're released on proving their
innocence, the presumption being, of course
that they were guilty-not very hopeful in
dication, by-the-by, of the spirit in which
General Meade went into this business.
Next we have it stated-frst, that these
parties were "well treated;' and, second, paid
on release, ''the usual witness fees." Why
they were paid any witness fees at all when
they were arrested and confined, not as wit
nesses but criminals, does not appear, and
suggests the application OF douceur as hush
money; but, be that as it may in a communi-
cation appearing in The Columbus (Ga)
Enquirer of the 10th inst, it is denied that at
least nine OF these persons ever received a
cent, their names being given as the brothers
Marks, William Cash. Cliff B. Grimes, James
Lawrence, and Dreury Lawrence, confined in
the cells at Atlanta Barracks, and William
Bedell, Thomas W. Grimes, and Robert Ennis,
kept in the Columbia jail 1t is also stated in
that communication that the scene of incar,e-
ration was in "dirty, filthy cells" which it is
submitted is not being "well treated" Now
all this, perhaps, may not be of much import
ance in one view OF the case, but in another it
is certainly worthy Of note that in the brief
compass of nine lines General Meade manages
to say that he arrested men on suspicion, held
them as guilty till proved innocent, treated
them we'll by putting them in filthy cells, and
paid them as witnesses when he had laid them
by the heels as asssssins. This is bad bust
ness, and it cannot be conceded that the exsul-
patory report makes it any better.
