The National Debt.

The country, says the N. Y.
Tribune, is again gratified and its
enemies, domestic and foreign, af-
ficted with an official statement that
the National Debt was reduced
Seven Millions Four Hundred Thou
sand Dollars during the last month,
and would have been reduced by
more than Nine Millions but for
the necessity of paying over One
Million and Half Of interest on
bonds advanced to the Pacific Road
Cor roads, which they are under
obligation, but not yet able, to pay.
The total redu ton of the Debt
since Gen. Grant assumed the Pres
idency five months) falls a little
short of Forty four Millions Of
Dollars.
We are reaping the bitter fruits OF
Mr.. McCulloch's persistent violation
of an imperative law of the land.
That law peremptorily required
him to buy up and hold as Sink.
ing Fund one per cent. per annnm
(between Twenty and Twenty eight
Millions) Of the entire National
Debt. Had he obeyed this law, he
could have bought Twenty five
Millions per annum of the Debt 70,
less than Twenty Millions of Gold
and saved over Ten Millions in
interest which we have been paying
on bonds which should have been
long since snug in the Sinking
Fund. BY violating the law, he
deprecated the National Credit ano
cost the country at least Twenty
Millions of Dollars-Ten Millions
that would have been saved by
buying when the bonds were cheap
er, and Ten Millions Of interest tina
would have gone into the Sinking
Fund instead of the pockets, of th'
bondholders
Mr.. Boutwell, seems to be doing
his best to regain the ground Sc
wantonly thrown away. He an
nounces that he will buy Ten Mil
lions more OF bonds in the cours
of this month; and we infer that h
will keep buying so long as he ha
the means, unless Congress shoul'
stop him. He would doubtless bu,
faster-perhaps Fifty Millions forth
with-but for the fact that thi
would raise the price of bond
exorbitantly. He is buying, w
presume, as fast as he thinks he ca

A Remarkable Race and Escape

A Remarkable Race and Escape.
On Monday evening as the train
from Fremont was coming up, it
met horse on the track, about q
mile or so from town, and put on
the brakes, and sounded the alarm.
/ The horse, however, instead of
turning aside, kept right on ahead
of the train, to about the center of
the railroad bridge, where he got
tangled in the timbers, and in his
efforts to extricate himself, fell
over the side of the bridge, per-
forming feat of grand and lofty
tumbling, landed on his back in the
water, and after foundering about
a moment to get his legs under him,
got up, shook himself, and walked
out on dry land, as deliberately as
though nothing unusual had hap

beaten on the head until almost
senseless. His calls for help, alarm

The end plainly in view is the
funding of our Debt at lower rate
of interest. Over Sixteen Hundred
Millions of it is in the form of Five,
Twenties, whereon we are paying
F., six per cent. interest, when most OF
them are, and the residue so on will
be, subject to redemption at the
pleasure of the Government. 1t is
a shame that one bond should be
outstanding on which this right OF
redemption has accrued. II We
could fund these Sixteen Hundred
Millions at four per cent. and we
hope long bond, untaxable, and
paying interest wherever the bor-
rowers shall prefer, may be floated
at or near that ratc) it would save
to the country no less than Thirty
two Millions per annum-a sum
that, invested in the Sinking Fund,
would of itself pay off the entire
Debt within forty years. To fund
the Debt at low rate Of interest is
to be the great triumph of Gen.
Grants Administration, unless his
enemies, by their projects of
direct or indirect Repudia
ton, shall succeed in preventing it.
They are working to this end with
unscrupulous desperation. Hence
the swindling resolves of their
Western State Conventions; hence
the various knaveries in our deal
ings with our public creditors pro
posed in their journals and speeches.
They must be met and beaten.
10 the funding of the Debt at a
low rate, it is an Indispensable
prerequisite that we shall go on
steadily and vigorously paying it.
To reduce the Revenue to the
current needs of the Government
and stop paying Debts, is to post
pone indefinitely the prospects Of
funding at -four. per cent, and thus
maintain the present exorbitant rate
of interest. Let no friend of the
Administration consent to purchase
present case at the cost Of perma-
nent burden. Let US keep the Rev
enuc up to the present standard,
economic Expenditures to the last
degree possible, and keep on pay
ing off Debt at the rate of Eighty
to One Hundred Millions per an
mum and we shall soon be able to
fund the Five -Twenties on our own
terms.

The Bible in Public Schools.

A warm contest has prevailed in
Canton, o. for some time, in conse-
quence of rule adopted by the
Board Of Education, excluding
Bible reading from the schools.
The friends of the Bible and good
morals demonstrated against this
extraordinary proceeding, till the
question was finally submitted to
the people at recent election of
members of the Board Of Education,
when the friends of the Bible in
Public Schools achieved brilliant
victory.

deep interest in the prosperity OF

In the selection of men to man
age the County Infirmary we would
suggest that they be chosen from
both parties, and that they be such
as have shown pre-eminent shrewd-
ness and ability in the management
of their own individual business.
Don't trot out men who have never
shown sufficient energy and good
management to make decent liv-
ing for their family.
He who lacks capacity to manage
his own business, is uttersbly unfit
to conduct that OF the public.

says. they, the Democrats, intend
to arraign the radical party for run

of National Bankers, untaxed Bond
holders, and New England Manufac-
turers at the expense of the laboring
classes of the country. Let us go a
little farther Brother Zimmerman,
and arraign the present Auditor of
Wyandot county for sending ex-
Auditor Hoyt to Canton, on the
18th day of May last, as one of the
Assessors of the valuation of the
road bed, structures, moneys and
credits, and rolling stock of the
Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago,

ton, when the law provides he
shall go himself And then, Bro.
Zimmerman, let us arrraign said
Hoyt before the taxpayers Of this
county for procuring the, reduction
of said assessment Z per cent for,
and in consideration of an annual
pass over said road and let the
people decide whether an annual
pass from Chicago to Pittsburgh is
a sufficient consideration for the
reduction of $4,000 from the
taxable assessment of such a mo-
nopoly as the p. TT. W. q G. r. R.,
and the addition of that sum TO
taxable assessment of the farmers
and laborers of this county. We
think Bro. Zimmerman, that you
will be sufficiently in time to arraign
the radical party, after you have
satisfactorily arraigned the clique
of the Democracy, who have been
running the government of this
county, for their corruptions.

Cable dispatches yesterday, given
with our New York commercial
news, reported serious damage to
the cereal crops in Europe, and a
consequent advance in the prices of
wheat and -four. This caused con-
siderable excitement in the leading
markets for breadstuff in this coun-
try, and a rise of 25c per barrel Oh
-four, and S@I0c per bushel on
wheat, in anticipation of an increas-
ed foreign demand.
The prospect of large exports OF
these articles, tending to preserve
the balance of trade with foreign
countries, affected the gold market,
and the premium declined three
fourths Of one per cent.
This is favorable news for Amer
ican farmers, for nearly all have q

The success of Sec* r in Tennes-
see was fore gone CO lclusion. The
Policy Of the Republican party, as
set forth in the Chicag resolutions,
is for peace and con citation. 1t
was upon this policy that Senter
acted. In announcing himself in
favor Of ;versal suffrage and
universal amne5tT, he won for HIM
self the support OF every man in the
State who had been disqualified or
who was still under disabilities
He was beforehand with Stokes in
this matter, and his election is the
result.
In this result we see no occasion
for tearing Republican hair. Senter
numbered among his supporters
some of the most earnest and un-
fiinching Republicans in the State,
but they were men who believed
the time had come for more liber-
al policy, and the removal Of the
restrictions which kept from the
polls thousands of the most intelli
gent men in the State.
Governor Senter is as unquali-
fedly committed to the doctrine of
universal pardon and privilege as
General Stokes himself; and we
feel certain, whatever else the Con-
sers satives in the Legislature may
do, he will see to it that no man in
Tennessee is deprived Of his ballot,
whatever may be his race or color
He is also committed to the Fif-
teenth Amendment, and will use
the influence of his position to pro
tect the freedmen in all their civil
and political rights. Gin. Com.

The Feeding Of Animals.

There are a number of considerations,
varying very greatly, by which the feeding
of animals should be regulated. To GER
tain extent the objects designated to be
answered by food are the same, all food
being intended to meet tie demands of
respiration and nutrition, but it is for the
intelligent stock owner to select and admin
lister those best suited to his particular
purpose both i'll quality and quantity
The very young animal for the formation
of bone requires the phosphate of lime in
large quantities which is yielded in larger
proportions in milk than from any otht
food, hence the young destined for maturi-
ty should be supplied with milk from the
dam until Il steady growth can be maintain
cd by the substitution of grain, roots, hay
Or grass. The growing animal in addition
to bone wants muscle, as also certain
amount of fat to sustain their formation,
and these are procured from the grain and
grass in their seasonable state. Filling to
repletion or stuffing should only be resortt d
to with the animal intended for the butcher.
Allen remarks. d" An animal should never
be fat but once,'' adding that alternately
improving and falling back is injurious to
all animals, and that as much rs starving
is to be deprecated, the prejudicial effects
Of repletion are still greater. No practice
is more impoliii than to barely sustain the
stock through the winter or a part of the
year, as is the case i'll too many instances,
and allow them: to improve only when turn
ed on grass in summer. Besides subjecting
them to he risk of disease consequent
upon their privation Of food, nearly half of
the year is lost in heir use, or in maturing
them for profitable disposal: when if one
third of the stock had been sold the remain
der would have been kept i'll rapidly i'm
proving condition and at the age of three
years they would probably be of equal
value as otherwise at five or six. 1t is
true that breed has much to do with this
rapid advancement, but breed is useless
without food to develop and mature it.

TREATMENT OF ORCA RDs.-Sct the trees
from 80 to 40 feet apart cultivate the whole
