COMMISSIONER pELANo or TIE DEBT.
We susrect the grief OF tho Chtc48o
TIME, at tho absence Of Commissioners De.
ssro from the Revenue Department, ts no&
70 much on account Of the loss Of his ser-
vices at Washington Is from dislske o{
,be facts he is spreading before the people
IN Pennsylvania. II It were hue, Al tbs
Tina asserta, that be "cou1es before them
to proclaim two andaciuus falsehoods,
knowing them to be So" his character
would be such that tho less ho was present
At tho Revenue Department the better.
And yet, while branding 1Ir. Delano thus
as wlfol liar, cur neighbor declares that
the dnties Of The Revenue Department
"cannot be properly performed but ly his
daily and constant supervision" and says
t'h'a reputation as an honest man will give
to bis statements On financial questions m
authority which will impress the people" !"
The two s'andacious falsehoods" pcrpe-
tinted by this honest liar, to whose "daily
and constant supervision ~e owe, in the
estimation Of his enemies, the collection
Of the revenue, are, .tsvsf, that The debt is
decreasing, and, secondly, that this decrease
is being accomplished through the fidelity
Of Grants administration As these asser-
tiops are athrn in the Copperhead dcah, it
ia well, doubtlens, to brand them as "anda-
cious falaehoods," But there our ueighbor
should leare it. II should aot, ntter charg-
in. ars " honest liar" With utAezing the M
dacious fn1sehood that the debt ia being re-
dueed, proceed to argue that "the
public debt has been reduced, un-
du Secretary Doutwel1s manage
ment Of The Treasury, 6eeause Tie receipss
from CUSTOMS and Internal revenue have
largely increased" Such mode Of s1s-
tanning his charge against Mr.. Delano 1syn
the writer open to the suspicion Of having
written the article in condition Of physi-
chi help1eszness aud moral responsibility.
The fudd1ed Bohemian then supports his
denin] ttst any credit ia due to Grant, Bout
veil, Delano, Or any other part Of the Radi-
cnl administration, for the collection of
more customs and revenue, by ayer1ing
that The Increase Of revenue il wholly due
