fends President Grant against the charges of
corruption and nepotism SO freely made by
the World, Sun and other Copperhead and
sore-head papers. AS for the first charge, it
says that the President has not received dol
lar since he assumed Office or since his cleo
tion. AS for the second, it does not appear
that Gen. Grant Las appointed more than half
dozen Of his relatives to public Offices He
is no more justly subject to an accusation of
undue partiality for his relatives and friends
than any of his predecessors. Not being a

as many men whom he personally knew to be

The Public Debt.

The official statement of the condition of
the public debt on the last day of April,
(says the New York Herald, affords gratify-
ing assurance of the advance which has been
made towards its ultimate extinction during
the past month, as well as of the vast finan-
cial resources of the country. The exhibit
shows that the debt decreased $6,5OO,000
during the thirty days just closed, that the
amount of coin in the Treasury was 500 ,000,-
900, the coin certificates amounted to $16,-
100000 and the currency to $7,00O,000. A
sum of $3,2O6,796 was paid as interest in
advance, while the debt bearing coin interest
footed up So, 1O7, SIS, 700 and the debt bear
ing currency interest $67 100000. The for
eign enemies of the Union consoled them
selves during the period of our civil war
with the hope-it may be said, conviction
that the nation would reel and stagger to
dissolution after the close of the conflict un-
der the necessities of a heavy money pressure.
In this they have been gloriously disap-
pointed. Our power of material recuperation
is limitless, so that while Great Britain and
France indulge in their money "makeshifts"
yearly, the people of the United States make
solid reduction in their unexpected national
charges. and can afford to smile, if SO in
clined, at their transatlantic decrepitude.
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-05-12
Significant.


The reduction of the number of British
troops in Canada, and the steps taken for
their immediate departure for England, is
somewhat significant. Whether it is occa-
stoned by a desire to be in readiness for the
coming European war, or from a new policy
towards the Canadas cannot be readily de-
termined. Probably it is a little of BOTH
England wishes to yield gracefully that which
she would be unable to defend Whether
or no the United States wishes to annex
Canada yet remains to be seen. Nothing
has been said or done to warrant such be-
lief, except the well-known mania of Amer
leans for the acquisition of new territory.
The Canadians themselves are about equally
divided on the subject, although if there is
majority it is in favor of annexation to
the United States. Summers speech seems
to have aroused the British lion, judging
from the roars heard from the fright little,
tight little island" The roar, however, has
been found to be worse than the bite, and
the royal quadruped to prefer digni6ed
peace to the chance of war. We do not ap-
prehend any war between England and the
United States upon any pretext. II war
should be brought about, it will be done by
the United States-not by England. Eng
land, after its usual amount of bragadocio
and threatenings, will accede to any demand
made by this country regarding the Alabama
claims. 1t has already announced in semi
official manner that if the Canadas wish to
renounce their allegiance they can do so.
The truth is, England was never in worse
condition to engage in war than at the pres
ent time. A war with America is the last
thing she wishes. The threatening aspect
of European affairs, and the disorganized
state ofsociety in England itself, renders the
idea of foreign war preposterous. Her
preparation savors more of defence than of
offence. Hence the present recall of English
troops from the Canadas may be considered
as the Inauguration OF new colonial policy,
and further developments will be awaited
with great deal of interest.
