Gov. GEARY-This celebrated State
Official paid our town visit last week,

description Of the prosperity of saw

milkmaids, which was almost divine

pulled and blowed, for nearly an hour
over the prosperity Of the country,
but in winding up he admitted that he

more than Gov. Bigler received), but
that there was not as much real money

GEARYIsM.-Hans Geary, when re-
failing his falsehoods in the Court
House last week, should have ex.
planned TO the people why the State
Governor paid tioo hundred and eighty
sir thousand, sir hundred and eighteen
dollars more interest on the State
debt the two past than were paid the
two previous years, Notwithstanding
he had reduced the State debt four
millions Of dollars. As general
thing when a State or an individual
reduces their debts, they have less
interest to pay, but according to the
Auditor Generals Report and Geary's
story the taxpayers Of Pennsylvania
pay much more interest than hereto.

600 of the debt. This is evidently
lOii fnanceering.

The Circus CLOSED. Honest"
John Covode, for the purpose Of rails
ing a little enthusiasm for his friend
Hans Geary, went over to Washing
ton the other day TO get Gen. Grant
to exhibit himself through the iron
and coal regions in the eastern coun-
ties Of this State. But the General
concluded that he had already spent a
great deal Of time fishing, hunting and
horse-pcing, and that public business
would not allow him to leave the
National Capitol this fall. So the
Grant circus has closed for this season.

The Iairesi ON INC state Debr.

During the years of Democratic
rule in Pennsylvania, the Common.
wealth paid 4 land 5per cent. interest
on its loans. These rates were main.
tained until 1867, when on the recon-
mendation Of Gov. Geary and the State
Treasurer hemble. new loan was
negotiated to replace the old, this new
loan was made at G per cent. interest.
Now, there was no necessity for this
movement; none in the world except
that Of the pockets Of the State Treasu-
rer and other Radical officials. The
old loans could have been continued,
without any difficulty, at the old rates
OF interest. But the placing Of the
new loan offered an opportunity to
plunder the treasury, and that was
enough TO recommend it TO those in
power II would enable tho State
Treasurer to keep on hand a large
monthly balance, which he could loan
out to his lavorites, to the incalculable
advantage Of himself and bis friends.
some OF the interest on this heavy
balance will be needed as a corruption
fund to elect United States Senators
and State Treasurers, aud to re. elect
GOV Geary. Hence the scheme was
put through; Tl0eHtythree millions
were borrowed at six per cent. and at
a Gust OF placing the loan Of 100000.
We now have the effect Of this ad-
mirable stroke Of Radical iinanceering
In 1867 the commonwealth paid s9l,.
O63 more interest than 1866, aud IN
1865 il paid slS2,55l more than in
1866. Here is shown loss TO the
people, by the operation of this new
Radical loan, of sl66,6lS in two years;

Courage, Democrats. The tide is un.
and will not subside until the Radical
hords are swept from every State in

visible and effective in Virginia,

Or THE SANE OPINION. Greeley. Of
the New York Tribune has a fellow
travelling over Europe catecbising ana
hunting up great men, from whom he
extracts opinions with reference to the
future welfare Of this country. This
man Friday few weeks ago intro.
duced himself TO Mr.. Carlyle, the
English historian and scholar, aud
asked him what he thought of the
affairs Of Yankee.land He replied
that the country was going to HI;
that its Office holders were as corrupt
as the ID could make them" A
celebrated Wall street banker the

tion. He also replied that everything
was going to the d-l. If the Demo

LOOK HEREl-Gov. Geary last weel,
told his hearers that $1,000 in green
backs was not worth as much money
now as $4,000 in gold in 1860. 1fthis
is SO, why does he persist in telling
the people that the country is in a
prosperous condition? Heshould also
have explained why he spent s2lO,
600 more last year in running the
State machine than it ever cost before.
If his extravaganza continues, should
he be elected again, the tax.pa~ers
cannot raise money enough for him
to squander on bis fayorites.

~ tN6 G0StOT ~ We EToSds
BY an act of the last Legislature, provision
was made for restocking some of the interior
water of our State with certain kind of fish
which were long since driven out by reckless
sportsmen, dams, water-wheels and other in
stitutions and appliances of civilization
This was great pity, as it was that the An
cocisco Indians should not always possess our
corn and potato fields for a hunting ground;
and our last Legislature undertook to redress
the wrongs Of the finny tribes, and provide
them with fish ways up and down the shores,
at the expense of mill owners who were never
consulted in the matter. The obligation OF
building those ways" through dams is made
imperative by heavy forieitures in case of neg
lect and the whole authority and say in the
matter are lodged In the hands of our worthy
fish commissioner. The expense, says my
friend. the commissioner, of putting flsh-way
In a certain dam on the Presumscot, where the
whole head is estimated at eighteen feet will
be the snug little trife of five hundred dollars.
At this rate 1t viii cost rather more than foe
thousand dollars to restock the Presumpscot
with salmon, etc. And for whose benefit must
dam owners be subjected to this expense?
Why, the spOrtsman's, the clerks, the bar
tenders, in short al the gentlemen of elegant
leisure and snug pataloons are to be allowed
to fish up and down our beautiful rivers at GER
tain seasons at the expense OF men who are inn
proving the water powers and expending all
the money they can afford to develop the in
dustrial resources Of the country. Gen. Grant
says the best way to make bad law odious is
to enforce it. 1t is to be hoped that the fish
commissioner will show himself a faithful ex-
ecutive officer RUsTIcUs.
