The Age says Everybody who has
said anything about the late Radical
mess has helped TO make it worse.
We strung together yesterday the
contradictions and recriminations Of
the various parties. The Morning
Post adds the charge that the whole
thing is plot to destroy Geary. The
conclusion of long and able article
in the Post is as follows:
This is buta glimpse Of the inside
workings Of Pennsylvania politicians,
the "intelligent and representative
politicians" whom Mr.. Mcclure so
eloquently eulogzes. The politics Of
this State are rotten. The Republican
leaders arc divided into factions, and
the whole evil is the result of the six
years administration Ct Governor Cur.
tin, which, though fair and patriotic
outside, was selfish and corrupt within.
Nothing keeps the party triumphant
but the honesty and the fidelity of the
people, whose devotion to principles
mast in the end drive out these false
leaders, spurge the Legislature and
destroy all selfish. and ambitions
factions. Last weeks business was Il
disgrace TO the State, and We have
come to the conclusion that We don't
care whom Grant appoints from Penn.

A LIBERAL OFFER FROM THE APPLE
roSs-FnEE FOUNDATIONS ron LpuARiEs EyERY-
wHgRE.--The establishment Of Libraries by chari.
table endowment, the o-opcraiion Of intelligent
public spirited citizens, is subject that should
receive general attention. AsApurifer Of morals,
means Of popular education, relief Of crowded
prisons and almshouscs, direct promoter Of the
peace, happiness, and wealth Of communities, the
public library ranks with the church and the
school. 1t appears, from signs cropping out here
and there, especially in the West, as if the times
we're propitous for the furtheraneo Of this great
work Such, at least is the conviction entertained
BY D Appleton Co., who have received recently,
many inquiries from different States, asking to be
informed as to the best method Of founding libra
ries, and selecting books In response to the
widespread feeling thus shown to exist upon the
subject and to give II powerful impulse, they
have determined to offer o direct and substantial
encouragement for the formation OF public libra
ries in all parts Of The United States. The plan
which they propose is, in scope, lbersliiy, and
prooiss adaptation TO the b,ncfcent end sought to
be accomplished, unparalleled in the history Of
public enterprises. Il is as follows;
The Appctons offer to give free, what may 10
called tho foundation for libraries everywhere.
They will present 10 each club Of persons desiro9s
Of forming a public library complete set, in 10
volumes Of their standard New American Cyclo-
pUdia. This great national work, the oaly publ
cation Of the Kind, is one which organizers Of
libraries usually buy fret Of all books, because it
is the one most often consulted by persons Of an
classes aud vocations in search Of reliable inior-
nation on all kinds topics. Sixteen large octave
volumes, containing many thousand pages Of the
most valuable reading matter, for the purchase Of
which they would ordinarily spend their money,
they therefore receive for nothing. In one sense.
the CyclopHdia Is in itself library 50 that from
the start, the Clubs will have the better part OF
what they wanted for nothing The only return
asked by the donors for this magnificent gin is,
that the Club shall proceed to raise and oSpend
not less than Eve hundred dollars to bay other
books. In other words, that the Club shall build
the supcrsiuc,ure on the foundation laid By the
Applctons. In the selce IN Of suitable books by
hands experienced for many years In the making
Of libraries, the Applotons will render all the as.
sliauoe required, aud supply the books, with the
usual discount The cyclOprdia thus becomes

Well, then, the national debt has been
increased since March /, 1868, ovep
twenty-five millions. True. there havo
been bonds issued TO the Pacific Rail-
road Company 10 more than that
amount, which are regarded IN the
light OF a loan bul they constitute,
nevertheless, a part Of the public debt
and are q positive addition to il.
These bonds may never be paid BY
the company but whether they DO

The lowest point tho debt reached
was in November, 1867, when ii stood
S249l ,504 ,450 1t is now S2,545, $780,
9O4. The increase in sixteen months
has been S5S,S32 ,454. But tho burden
has been still more augmented through
tho manipulation OF Mr. McCulloch
IN converting the non-intercst bearing
and the currency interest debt into
gold interest securities. Tho whole
scope Of Mr.. McCulloch's policy has
been to make the debt as heavy rs
possible and to favor the bondholders
at the expense Of the taxpayers and
that, too. seems now to be The policy
of Congress. 1t is, as we have fro.
quently said, beginning at the wrong
end, and may create in the public
mind revulsion that will weaken
instead Of strengthen the national
credit Let us hope that under the
new administration, q new Congress
and another Secretary OF the Treasury,
the debt may be diminished and tho
burdens Of the people lessened. .-Nsw

A TALE OF LovE.-One quiet day
in leafy June, when bees and birds
were WI in tune, two lovers walked
beneath the moon. The night was
fair-so was the maid; they walked
and talked beneath the shade, with
none TO harm or make afraid Her
name was Sue and his name was Jim,
and he was fat, and she was slim; he
took to her and she to him. Says Jim
to Suej "By all the snakes that squirnl
among the bush and brakes, lovo
you bettern buckwhcat cakes" Says
Sue to jim: "Since you've begun il.
| like you next to new bonnit."
Says Jim to Sue: "My heart you've
busted but have alwas the gals mis-
trusted" Says Sue to Jim: l will
be truej you love me as | love you,
no knife can cut our love in two"
Says Jim to Sue: Though thicls
and this, for your true lover count mo

And then-and then and TnEN-and

Four negroes, VIM. Wilson, Frank
Rounds, VIM. Wells and George Bailey
were hanged at Princess Anne, Nd,
for the murder of B. +; johnson and
Henry Cannon, captain and mate of
an oyster sloop, in March. 1868. Each
prisoner confessed his guilt. Rounds
and Wells died instantly, Bailey in a
few seconds. Wilson's neck did not
break. and he groaned and struggled
horribly. He got the rope off his
hands and legs, and caught hold Of the
shroud of Rounds, and then of his own
rope, by which he drew limself ND on
the scaffold again. The jailor ascen.

prisoner continued TO struggle for five
minutes, some of the crowd yelling,

The execution occupied forty Eve
minutes. Towards the last four or
five thousand spectators were present.

The CABINET.-It is no wonder
Grant kept the names Of his Cabinet
a profound secret. Had heannounced
them beforehand, there would have
been a grand rising in mutiny through
out the Radical camp. Never in tho
history Of any nation were such no
bodies called TO exercise the Offices of
State. There is not man among
them who possesses any proper fitness
for the position which he is chosen TO
I'LL. Contrary to the custom Of all his
predecessors, Grant has completely
ignored all the prominent public men
OF his party. The men Of mind and
culture, who have made the Republi.
can party what it is, have all been set
aside to make room for the obscure
personal iavorites and private bene.
