Remarkable Reduction of the
Debt.

Reduction of the
Debt.
The favorable unofficial reports
which have been given publicity
from time to time, had prepared the
minds of the public for very sat-
isfactory monthly statement from
the Secretary Of the Treasury, on
the first day ofJuly.- But when the
official figures are actually received,
the condition of the Treasury is so
much more satisfactory than the
most sanguine anticipated, that the
feeling throughout the country lis

deem it possible. that .the receipts

by so !, many millions the hopeful
though careful estimates of lSecre,,

ties on imports should be swelled to

was thought by some that the re-
duction of the debt for the four
months ending June 80, might
possibly reach thirty millions, but
no one dreamed that such reduction
would amount to Thirty-six and a
half millions of dollars And so the
decrea of the debt in the single
month of June of Sixteen and half
millions was surprise even to the
Secretary of the Treasury. The
receipts from miscellaneous sources
on the last day of the quarter were
larger by several millions than was

Hurrah!

Under the wise administration of
President Grant the national debt
has decreased nearly thirty six and
a half million dollars. During the
last month of June reduction of
nearly siateen and hat million
dollars was made. This is q most
desirable state of things and cheer
ing news for the people.

-The experiment of a prohj

"' " EThe experiment of prohibi:
tory liquor law is now on trial in
Massachusetts. The provisions of
the law are excessively stringent.
The working and result of the ex-
pertinent will be watched with much
interest in other States where the
subject of similar laws is agitated, !,
and it will be well to await the re-
suit in the State where its practical
execution is most feasible, owing to
the peculiar character OF the popu-
lation, before adopting such laws
in States largely made up of people
unaccustomed to such ridid re-
straints. If the law works well in
Massachusetts the objections to it
here will be shorn of the greater
part Of their force.-C Herald.

johnson administration, was mon
strously apparent. The combina-
tions of whisky spectators and
other dishonest gangs to cheat the
treasury were without parallel in our
history, 1t was exceedingly difficult
to enter upon this work of reform
to find out where these leakages
were and stop them. But already,
in one quarter, this work has pro-
gressed so far as to indicate an in.
crease in the Federal revenues at the
ratio of more than sixty millions a
year. This is substantial, prac-
tical fact, inuring to the public ad-
vantage. 1t conveys an argument
which the people will not be slow
to appreciate. The retrenchment
of public expenses has been carried
on with equal vigor. A thorough
inspection of all sources of expendi-
ture was early instituted, with view
of putting a stop to all that was not
demanded bv necessity. AS re-
suit of this course, the figures Of the
forthcoming exhibit will show that
the government has cost fifteen mil
lions less during the first term of
Grants term, than it did during any
quarter in the last year of Andrew
Johnson's wretched administration.
On questions on public policy the
administration has also commended
itself to the people. The recon-
struction of the southern states has
received a new impetus and strength
from the personal suggestions of
General Grant, and it is probable
that with the readmission of the un-
reconstructed states to the Union
and the ratification of the Fifteenth
amendment, all the questions con-
nected with the rebellion will pass
out of our politics within the present
year. The position of Grant in re-
gard to the Alabama claims repre-
sents accurately the temper of the
people, and we believe that during
the term OF his Presidency these
claims will be satisfactorily adjusted.
In regard to Cuban affairs, also the
administration has taken a wise,
prudent and just course. Take it
all in all, the administration of Gen.,
Grant is decided success, and we
have no fear in going beore the peo-
pie upon that issue.

THE ingenuity exhibited by Dem
ocratic editors in defense of a cor
rupt party and hopeless cause is
inexhaustible. During the Presi-
dental campaign of 1868, these lea
ders told the public that the Repub-
lican party was responsible for high
prices, and endeavored to manufac-
ture political capital by pressing
such assertions upon the attention
of laboring men. And now that the
price Of farm products have declined,
these same fellows are endeavoring
to manufacture political capital by
holding up to the laboring classes
that the Republican Administration
is to blame for this state of things.
An honest, economical, administra-
ton of public affairs, peace all over
the land and cheap goods, is just
what the people have long prayed
for. Their prayers have been
answered. Never was America
more prosperous than day. Never
did the American people have SO
much cause for thankfulness and
gratitude as now.

The vote of Cincinnati, for the
proposition to build a Southern
Railroad, was almost unanimous for
the project. We venture to say
that if the proposition for the con-
struction of the Toledo, Upper San
dusky and Columbus R. r. could be
submitted to vote of our people,
the response would be also nearly
unanimous. It is a matter of won
der and Iortifcation to us, why the
people along this most necessary
line allow such indispensable enter
prise to languish. We know that
our people would subscribe lib
orally with very few exceptions.
Upper Sandusky would contribute
its full quota. We need communi-
cation South and North, and this
necessary will continue to increase.
We need this proposed road extra
ordinarily bad, and if we don't get
it, we will get no other for forty
years to come.

thought that his anger proved him to
be n great man.

not throw stones at their neighbors.-
Peter Jones did not throw stones at you
and I think he is much more likely to

said Will.

from being gentleman, "said the teach
er, but bad temper does. Now, VIII

A little further on, the teacher met
little Peter Jones. Some stones had hit
him, and he was hurt by them.
"Well. Peter, what's the matter be-
tween you and Will this morning ?"
asked the teacher.
''I was throwing a ball at one OF the
boys in play. sir, and it missed him and
hit viii fnsmpson's dog"
"Why did you not throw back ?"
Because, sir, my mother says, to be

Peters conduct, but kept the boys in

ImnorIallty.

In a recent lecture, Col. HigginsOn
said that all his life he had believed in
immortality; he had never had u doubt
about it, and he was as sure as an y one
could be that Il was siHpiy An instinct.
People who when in health Were the
most Mortified at the idea of death, lose
all that repugnance as it approaches. He
never heard of person who, as the
time of death drew near, was afraid to
die and he mad seen death in many
forms, and had talked with many fanil-
lar with disease. BY the various paths
the human race, in its various tempera-
ments, comes to knowledge of immor-
tality. In proportion as they attain it,
their life becomes larger Ind wider, and
they live on, regardless of the little fact
of death. They feel sure that in what
ever sphere they live there is something
for US to do and it makes little difference
where we do it. When a person be-
lieves in Immortality sincerely, it makes
little difference to him whether he stays
here to do some pal ticular work, or goes
somewhere else to do another. He is
like the sailor on board ship, whose duty
il is not to his own will, but the will of
his master. A deep and abiding belief
in Immortality makes fame and fortune
alike Indifferent to US. When one lives
nobly day by day, he feels that he M ay

emotions here, and say to his compan-
ions in another sphere, "Do you remem-
