bondbolders. He has had no interest for tbe
people. Gold Notwithstanding on TO gold
payments--and to force that by ali the means
in his power has been the only thought OF his
mind. His manipulation of the debt in the
ruinous manner we speak OF has been the re-
suit of this one idea And how much nearer
are we to specie payments through his financial
policy and operations Had he bought up and
cancelled gold interest bearing bonds with the
legsl-tenders he has withdrawn and DESTROYED,
and not changed the currency interest debt,
the country would have been saved thirty or
forty millions q year, and the debt would
have been reduced-or at least that portion of
it which is any burden-several hundred
millions. Then we should have been nearer
specie payments than we are now. Let the
world see that our debt Is being considerably
diminished year after year. and the credit of
the Government will rise, and with that we
should reach a specie basis. Mr.. MoCulloch
began at the wrong end. Let rs hope more
able man may be placed at the head of the
Treasury Department under the new admins
tration. The only way to keep the debt from
increasing as it has been-the only hope of
ever diminishing it - is through greater
economy on the part of Congress and better
management of the finances of the country.

Increase of the Public Debt.

From the ~. y. Herald.
The bill reported from the Committee Of
Ways and Means to prevent the increase of the
bonded debt Of the United States comes not
day too soon, for the debt under the manipu-
lation Of Mr.. MoCulloch has been steadily and
constantly increasing. 1t has increased even
in nominal amount, according to his own
figures; but the weight of 1t upon the public
has been considerably augmented by the con-
version Of the non-interest and currency in
terest bearing debt into that bearing gold
interest. The lowest point the public debt
ever reached since July, 1865, was in Novem-
ber, 1867, when the figures stood $2 49l,-
504,450 This was nearly two years and half
after the war closed and at the time we suppose
all the outstanding liabilities upon the Treasury
arising from the war had been paid or carried
to the debt. The country was in fact in a
normal condition as regards its revenues and
expenditures. Well, from November, 1867, to
February, 1869, fifteen months, the debt has
been increased sixty five millions. Mr.. McCul-
loch in his last official statement takes the
year from February, 1868, to February, 1869,
and shows an increase for that period Of near
twenty y-nine millions. We prefer TO start
three months earlier, when the debt had
reached the lowest figure, and from which
date it has been constantly increasing. In
time Of peace and several years after the war
closed, then, the debt has increased in fifteen
months sixty Eve millions, and that, too,
when the yearly revenue approaches five
hundred millions in currency. Is not this
mOnstrousl Can we avoid national bank
ruptoy and reputation if this frightful extra
vagance and Encouragement of the finances
continue
1t is true ffty-two millions of this increased
debt is on account of the Pacific Railroad /;
but even deducting that, there has been an
increase OF thirtsen millions within fifteen
months. The bonds issued to the Pacific
Railroad, however, are as much a part of the
debt as the fve-twenty bonds. They are
called loan, but most likely the Government
will have to pay them. Be that as it may,
these bonds are a part of the public expendi-
lures which ought to be kept within the in.
come of the Government.
The conversion of the currency interest and
nOn-interest bearing debt into that bearing
| gold interest has probably augmented the
weight of the whole thirty to forty millions a
wear. This has been the result Of the igno-
rance and stupid mismanagsment of Mr..
McCullooh. The cost Of changing and re-
changing the debt from one form to another,
In the way of commissions TO bankers and
others, and in the expenses Of the Treasury
Department for that purpose, has not been
less than fifteen to twenty millions. The only
idea tue Secretary had was the interest Of the

politics or philosophy why negroes more than
whites should all belong TO one party. Mems
political afhnities arise from causes which lie
deeper than the color of their skins. The
structure of ones cranium his mental charac-
teristics his early education, the strength of his
prejudices, the society he keeps, and, quite as
much as either and perhaps all of these, his
real or supposed interests, have far more to
do with determining the political party with
which he shall identify his fortunes, than any
mere accidental or adventitious circumstance
like the hue of the complexion or the texture
Of the hair.
Other things being equal, then, it would
be quite unnatural and contrary to precedent
for the entire mass of negroes recently adj
mitted to the ballot-box in the South, and
that comparatively insignificant number who
will soon have access to it in the North Under
the operation of the fifteenth amendment, to
join the Republican party. Moreover, this
would be not only unnatural aud unprec O.
dented, but it would be to the last degre
unwise and inexpedient for them to so act as
to make their firm and indisputable retention
of the right of suffrage to depend upon the
permanent ascendancy of either of the great
parties of the country. The conduct of an in
iluential portion of the Virginia negroes in the
recent election shows that they clearly COM
prehend the force of these vital truths.
But negroes are men; and it depends quite
as much upon the Democratic party as upon
the enfranchised negroes themselves whether
the former shall hereafter and throughout
the entire Union win to their standard so
much of the colored vote as to enable the
Democracy and their white allies to carry all
the Southern States in the great contests be-
fore them as triumphantly as they have just
carried Virginia, and thereby overthrow the
Republican ascendancy in 1872. The result
in Virginia has placed the Democracy on trial
They can so act as to repel the whole negro
vote, or they can retain fair share of it,
This humble class of citizens are not bur
dened with an amplitude of book-learning, but
they are endowed with keenness of instinct
that enables them to discover their friends
with unerring certainty. For the peace of the
country it is to be hoped that they will find it
for their interest tosdivide their suffrages be-
tween the two great parties.

LORDS AND CONIMONS-THE THREAT.
ENED CONFLICT


From the ~ Y. Times.
Neither the Gladstone Cabinet nor the
people of England has lost any time in
making firm stand against the attempt of
the Lords to override the reiterated verdict of
the House of Commons with regard to the
disendowment of the Irish Church. A special
Cabinet Council has been held, in order to
determine upon the line of action to be
taken, and it was finally decided that the
more important amendments made in the
bill should be strenuously opposed in the
House of Commons. According to the ordi-
nary course of procedure in such cases, the
bill will be returned to the lower house for
consideration of the Lords amendments, and
divisions will be taken-probably without
much debate-as to whether that house will
accept them or insist upon retaining the
original clauses in their integrity. There
can be little doubt as to the result, now
that the Ministerial policy has been decided
upon. Lords Clarendon, Granville, and Har-
tington, representatives of the old aristocra-
tic Wing element in the Cabinet are said to
have counselled compromise, but they were
overruled by the majority. They could un-
doubtedly influence, if so minded, large
section of the Liberal party, but they are
pretty certain to acquiesce i'll the policy re-
solved upon by their colleagues rather than
endanger a schism in their party, more espe-
Clally as men ike the Hlgh Church Lord
Hatherly and the powerful Duke of Argyll
are on the side of the Commons, as well as
Mr.. Gladstone and the radical John Bright
The proposal to retain the original disendow-
ment clauses will be supported by the whole
strength of the Ministerialists, and he will be
a bold peer who dares to move that the upper
house should insist on its amendments.
There will be conflict, beyond question,
but we do not anticipate that it will either be
prolonged or serious. The peers cannot
yield without making a show of resistance,
but if the Commons act with firmness, and
yet without any unnecessary violence, they
will have the opportunity of yielding grace
fully and without in any way compromising
their dignity They possibly may nominally
insist on their amendments in order to bring
about a conference between the two houses,
in which they can abandon their position ac-
cording to formal constitutional etiquette; but
that will be all. There is no real occasion for
popular agitation. Every successive triumph
of popular principles in the House of Com
mons, aristocratic as it's composition still is,
tends at once to increase the solid power of
the chamber, and consequently to moderate
the popular feeling against the upper house.
The Lords must yield if the Commons are
firm, and although there may be some little
outdoor clamor, both the Commons and the
Liberal party at large are now too well assured
of their power, and an easy triumph for their
measures, to care about unnecessarily humii-
ating them if they only have the wisdom to
yield with good grace.

not to speak of the stepping-stone to the next
Presidency The st. Paul Pioneer says that
from conversations with members of the Gen
erals staff, it has been led TO believe that he
will decline the proposed nomination if
offered Not that he doubts the chance of
his election, or would hesitate TO I'm IKE
the sacrifice asked of him." but that
he thinks other candidates are
plenty, while he can be cleft
to the great duties of his profession and his
present place" SO says the Pioneer where
upon we inquire of ourselves what sort of an
exile" and an ''oblivion" can that be whose
duties are not only very important, but so agree
able that to exchange them for those of Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania would be ''sacrifce?"
We are forced to conclude that, despite the
late Democratic lamentations over General
Hancocks untimely fate, he can manage
with his fine physique and robust health and
comfortable Major-General. s, income to sup
port even the exile to st. Paul, considering
that the climate there is the most equable
and delicious in the country, the society good
all the year round, and "banishment" some
thing like being sent off from Harrisburg to
Saratoga.
