FRESH AS A MAIDEN'S BLUSH - is the pure

THE Argus says the national debt is not di-
minishing and that our bonds are lower in
London than those of the South American
Republics. "Radical craftsmanship is the
trouble, says our neighbor. Now the first
statement is false, as everybody knows. Since
Andrew johnson went out, the debt has been
reduced nearly forty millions, notwithstand-
ing the reductions in taxation that have been
made az the last sessions of Congress. The
revenue is more faithfully collected than be-
fore, and this enables the government to show
alarge excess of receipts over expenditures.
As for the second statement it is true, but the
reasoning is false. Our bonds in Europe have
appreciated since the national government
passed into the hands of a patriotic party,
that declares itself bound to pay the national
creditor. If only Copperheads could be 81
fenced, the appreciation would be still mora
