WITH SUPPLEMENT.
SALUTATORY.

In taking charge of the TRIBUNE, as
we have done, we are fully alive to the
responsibilities which will rest upon US,
but having taken it with the firm deter
mination to put forth our best efforts in
the endeavor to make our paper present
able to its friends, and intending to de-
vote ourselves entirely, to the urdertak
ing, we commence our career along the
intricate path of journalism without any
fears, but what if our strength is equal tc
our will, we shall be every way competent
to do our duty.
We have taken control of a paper
which in the past-through the exertions
of our predecessors-has been credit to
Manitowoc County; one which has al
ways dealt fairly and uncompromisingly
with every subject; one that has ever
held its course steadfastly through every
difficulty, and has now the reputation of
being one of the best country papers in
the State. To maintain its hard-earned
reputation, will be an object which will
receive our every attention, and we hope
not ours alone, but also of those firm
friends to the TRIBUNE whose patronage
has enabled it to attain the position it
now occupies. We cannot conduct pa
per without support, and although it is
our intention to be as Independent as cir
cumstances will allow, yet we expect to
be aided by those who have the interests
of our party and the advancement and
improvement of the County at heart. In
return for these favors, We shall endeavor
to give you as good paper as has here
tofore come to you so regularly. The To-
cal columns especially, shall receive all
the attention possible, and on every sub
ject tending to improve and build up
Manitowoc, and advance the interests of
our citizens, we shall be fully awake.
Our political sentiments are so well
known, that allusion to them is perhaps
unnecessary. As the former editors of this
paper sta ted, we are an uncompromising
Republican, and one who will do all in
his power tc further the interests of the
great Radical party, whose principles, by
their being faithfully and fearlessly carried
out, will enable this great and glorious re-
public te keep its independence and to
increase the blessings of its institutions
upon every one of its inhabitants, upon
neighboring states and even foreign con-
tinents. We shall support and defend
the right, even under difficulties, and per-
secute wrong where ever found perfectly
independent of any kind of trammels.
But enough. Trusting that our efforts
will meet the approval of our readers, and
that the same will be kindly received, we
enter upon our duties.
Very Respectfully.
THE EDITOR.

selves on. every one who is concerned
Herewith. Its practical consequence will
be the establishment of privileged caste
among the aoorking men of the Union
and this at the enpense of our schole
country.
In thus giving our views on this all
important subject, we are very far in
bringing charges against our worthy Presi-
dent-for not he, but Congress is respon-
sible for the consequences of that law !;
on the contrary we presume, that at the
issuing of that order he had in his mind s
eye, the words of his inaugural procla-
nation, that bad laws are the easiest
brought to full by the most stringent exc
cution of the same, and thus we too hail
not the law but its being carried into effect
as azght step IN the right direction.

The following article from the Nev

The following article from the New
York Tribune presents a pleasant
picture, truly: ''The Secretary Of the
Trasury had less to pay for his ponds yes
terday, but his Gold is also likely to sell
for less. In fact, it looks as if the Gold
gamblers were in bad way. In less than
fortnight Gold has declined nearly six
per cent, and, in spite of the vigorous eff.
fort put forth by the Secretary's oppo.
nents, it still downward. We are only
sorry that, when it was mounting rapidly
in the forties, we were not able to realize
on more of our surplus. But at any
rate the general drift is all in our favor
Credit advancing, Gold declining, Reve.
nue. increasing, Debtl diminishing. bur-
den oflnterest weekly growing less and
less. The worst we confidently hope and
believe. is over"
Yes the worst is past and now let every
citizen take hold and improve the land
we live in, pay its debt-every dollar and
every cent-and build up a nation which
will soon become the glory of the whole
world.

THE REVENUE.

The New York Tribune says: "There
has been much grumbling over Gen.
Grants appointments, and some of them
may have provoked it; but the fact is not
disputed that the current reuenue since
they aoere made shoes large mcreast
ouer the corresponding aveeh;s of last gear.
Now the taxes haye not been increased;
our political adversaries say that the
country is not prosperous, and it will
puzzle any one to account for the increas
ed receipts into the Treasury on any 9th
er hypothesis than that of increased eff
cheney in the collection. We believe the
income of the Government since Gen.
Grants Inauguration has exceeded that
of the corresponding period of last year
by fully Five Millions of Dollars; and
that our National Debt has been reduc-
ed, over and above any reduction expect
ed in the Spring months of 1868. by full
ly Ten Millions. We submit these facts
as a full justification of the changes made
by Gen. Grant.
It is very generally understood that
the whole revenue is henccforth to be
collected, and not only collected, but paid
into the Treasury, where it is to be used
in carrying on the Government and re-
ducing the National Debt. Taxation
will not be so onerous if the people can
see that it is gradually wiping out their
Debt.
We entreat the President to ''let the
CALLED jades VINCE" and go on in the
path he has thus far so nobly trod Let
revenue-defrauders, official or otherwise,
understand that they are to be dealt with
promptly and sternly. If any outsiders
are still defrauding the revenue, bring
them to justice and keep them there; if
any office-holders are abetting their nefa
rious schemes, turn them out at once and
prosecute them directly Gen. Grant
has spoken no braver word than when he
gave assurance that he would remove
his own appointees as readily as those of
his predecessor if he found them incom-
petent or unfaithful The country re-
joices in that pledge and expects him to
make it good. Let the revenue be COL
lected-.not part only, but the whole of
it-though to this end it should be ne
cessary to remove and appoint monthly
to some places. This Administration
has made noble start, and we trust it
will keep it. The groans of the removed
and the disappointed avail nothing so
long as the work is well done.

BAY Is BREAKING,

During Johnson's mal-administration
like every other branch of our govern
ment, and more than any other, our
finances were In a miserable state of un-
s1fety and uncertainty. McCulloch, who
took charge of the finances under the
most promising auspicies only disappoint-
ed our most reasonable expectations -
His whole administration was a compro-
MISE 1t was soon clearly to be seen that
he lacked the moral courage to withstand
the different influences and various in
terests, which aimed to prevent the re-
turn to the solid foundation of specie
system. He had not the energy to sto p
the swindling operations of gold specula-
tors. With not less, generally, than
from eighty to hundred millions in gold
in the Treasury with which he might
have opposed those who played faro un-
der the guise of the gold exchange in Wall
street, he sank so low that he not only
became the partner of these gamblers
but even their tool.
Instead of controlling the gold market
with his hundred millions, he was the abso
lutte slave of a clique who all in all couldnot
control the fiftieth part of that sum,
whose business capital was only imaginary
and whose entire business transactions
consisted in collecting the gain or paying
the loss by the difference of the price of
gold from one day OR one week to another.
1t cannot be doubted that this uncer-
tain, wavering. aimless financial policy
delayed the re-assumption of specie pay
ment just as long as it was practiced.
As with the reconstruction of the rebel
States, SO it was with the reconstruction
of our financial system-but suddenly
as if by lightning from clear sky Wall
Street was struck with the resolve of the
present Secretary Of finance Boutwell, to
sell off every week. One million of the
superfuous gold to the highest bidder,
and to purchase United States Bonds
on account Of the sinking fund according
| to the law Of 1868.
That was something unheard of. a
| daring interference with the rights and
privileges of gold spectators. Alarmed,
frightened out Of the quied security of
their imaginary riches and already seeing
in their Imagination their occupation
gone, their profits vanished, they must
have felt somewhat like certain men who
were whipped out of certain temple
about two thousand years ago.
But they were bound to resist to the
utmost, the most noisy alarms were sound
ed everywhere, deputations after dep
utations were sent to Washington, the
most frightful telegraphic dispatches
were fabricated, so as to drive the gold up
during the first week of Boutwell, fnan.
clal operation and to be able to cry oui
Behold, this is what your financial Sec.

We find the following in an exchange:
''Brevet Brig. Gen. C. II. Tompkins will
proceed to Sitka, and relieve Brevet
Lieut.. Col. G. II. Weeks as chief quar-
termaster of the Department of Alaska.
-General Order.
Gen. Tompkins was one of the earliest
heroes of the war. In 1861 be was ap-
pointed a second lieutenant of the Second
Cavalry, from New York, although he
was born in Virginia. In May, 1861,
his company was stationed near Airing,
ton Heights, and Lit. Tompkins was sent
out with detachment of twenty men on
a reconnaissance. The men were old
soldiers, but not much acquainted with
the country. Instead of approaching
Falls Church, they went around it, and,
having fulfilled their duty, were return
ing home. Suddenly they found them
selves in the village There were two
full companies of Virginia militia station
ed here, besides two more companies
just organized, and the first thing that
struck the Lieutenant forcibly was, that
he and his command were in trap. To
get out of it was the first thing. To re-
treat was not to be thought of, and GER
tainly would be dangerous. Tompkins
took just half moment for consideration.
Then he gave the order trot-gallop'
and his troop went dashing through
the village-clattering over the dry pike
scattering the astonished militia and
breaking their ranks in confusion. Tomp
kins and his men fired their revolvers,
but no serious damage was done to the
militia. The militia loaded and fired as
quick as they could, but in the excitement
fred high. A shot fired from the win
dow of house struck Tompkins' horse
in the neck, but the tough little gray
animal did not give out, and the troop
rode through without the loss of man
At the time it was considered quite ar
exploit, and Lieut.. Tompkins was the
hero of the day.

retary has done. Gold rises from 135 to
l45"-thus to irighten him and to induce
him turn intoMcCullocE sring again which
ever ends where it begils-that was their
game and it must be acknowledged, il
was we'll played, well calculated, well
pushed but-lost.
They found a man before them at this
time who knows, that he is backed
by one hundred million in gold. Instead
OF being frightened, Boutwell, cody says:
Well, last week you drove gold up, be.
cause sold one million, we will double
the sum, next week [ sell two millions
Ii it pleases you, to buy gold at such high
rates, I have no objections. 1 can buy
the more bonds, pay the more debts. and re-
duce the sooner the amount of that oner-
Gus interest, which presses so hard upon
the people, just 60 on. -
And what now? Alarms, unquieted
deputations and dispatches have ceased,
the army of Wall street gamblers retreat,
counts its dead and wounded and will
probably never again try to dictate the
financial policy of the United States.
The revenue receipts, all paid in gold,
are larger than ever. Boutwell, has paid
Interest coupons in advance, has sold
gold, and still on the goth of May he
had SO million dollars in the treasury
five millions more, that three weeks be-
fore, and the increase of paper money in
the same period shows nearly the same
ratio.
The simple question is this, shall the
superhuous gold remain useless in the
vaults, or be made useful to pay our dept
and as circulating medium. Or in anoth-
er form shall the state of affairs, during
the war, when money brokers could
speculate with the United States. come
to an end, and shall the controlling pow
er of our system of finance be transferred
from Wall street to the Treasury of the
United States Government This is
Boutwelrs policy, open. clear and honest

night. May it soon usher in the full day,
with all its blessings brightness and
safety.

From the Washington Chronicle, May D.
A ceremony, which has created no
small degree Of anxiety, has been on the
tapis among our Hebrew brethren for
several weeks past, and was on Thursday,

faith, absolving from che holy estate of

For some time past the welded rela-

Mr.. and Mrs. j. Burnstine, have not
been of the most pleasant oder, and to
| relleye the unpleasautness for both, a
| mutual separation was ageed upon. To
whose discredit or tor what alleged cause
this seperati was found to be necessary
we are not prepared to state. Mrs.
Burnstine alleges that she has been lily
| treated by her husband, and from this
numerous collisions between the husband
and Mrs. B. and her father and brothers
have taken place. Mr.. B. however
comes in with contra. statement, and
charges his wife with not having attempt

and not rendering unto him that degree
of affection and love to be expected bv 8

REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.
Since Grants Inauguration the reduc-
ton of the national debt has commenced
in earnest. During the first month, March,
there we're paid three millions, in April
six and one fourth millions and in Nav
seven millions Total during the first
quaster Of Grant administration sixteen
and quarter millions.
This certainly argues well for our
national credit and the early resum ption
of specie payment.

THE HISTORY OF THREE DAYS.

There is food for thought ia the fol
lowing article which we find in the New
York 1rtbaine of late date. Certain it is,
that unless steps are taken to improve
the morals of this country, suffering and
tribulation will sweep from ocean to ocean
even as it now seems to reign in the city
of New York:
We have supped so tull with horrors
during the present week that an ordinary
murder no longer startles even the most
nervous Of us, and the burning cf half a
millions worth of property, the scalding
and manning of a score of men, collisions
on the sea, explosions in the harbor, are
little incidents of the day upon which we
hardly waste a n oment' attention. The
