When the Democrats of Ohio, says the
New York Tribune, astonished themselves
and the country by the nomination of Gen.
Rosecrans as their candidate for Governor,
we spoke of it as a measure of their neces-
stiles. They have now filled the vacancy
caused by Gen. Rosecrans's refusal to serve
by the nomination of Mr. Geo. H. Pendle-
ton. This seems to us not so much meas
ure of their necessity as of their desperation
1t confession of the gravest possible dam
ger; an ordering up of the last reserves,
and change of front in the face of the
enemy. How the same party which was
ready to support Gen. Rosecrans as war
candidate is now to be brought about-face
to the support of peace man so ultra as
Mr.. Pendleton, is one of those curiosities of
Democracy which age cannot wither, and
whose infinite variety custom cannot safe.

Death of Judge Osborne.

We regret to be obliged to announce the
death of Hon. JAMES W. OSBORNE of Char
lotte. He died at his home at II A. M.
Wednesday in the tifty-ninth year of his
age. He had been dangerously ill for sew
eral weeks and his death was not wholly
unexpected. We knew Judge OSBORNE
well, and although differing politically,
always held the most friendly relations with
him. He was fine specimen of gentle
man Of the old school and was distinguished
for his urbanity. As a man he was true
talented, and good, and he dies regretted
by all.

Our Debt-the Importance of its Speedy
Payment.

Payment.
We have from the first favored the policy
of Secretary boutwell,, because it not only
lessened the principal, but saved the pay
ment of large interest in gold. We have
constantly held that his policy alone could
benefit the finances of the country And
now we are supported in our arguments by
the N. Y. Mercantile Journal, a paper which
is high authority upon such matters. The
Journal says:
contemporary says, that "Great Britain owes
as much as we do" This statement may, to
superficial thinker, appear to be correct. 1t is,
nevertheless, very seriously erroneous. To
make the truth of the matter stand out in bold
relief, we ask the consideration of few facts.
The principal of the debt of Great Britain is
really larger than that of the United States.
But the principal of any debt of long standing
is not its most embarrassing feature. 1t is in the
payment of interest that the burden lies. Great
Britain has promised to pay interest on her
debt at the rate of three per cent, but has not
made any promise whatever to- pay the principal
The United States has promised to pay interest
at the rate of six per cent. in gold on the larger
portion OF her debt, and it is through the paying
) of exorbitant interest that we shall suffer.
Ifit were agreed that the principal of both
debts should remain unpaid for t,Co centuries,
without any change in the current rate of inter-
est, we might with propriety say that the debt
of the United States is not only ten times, but
one hundred and many more times larger than
the debt Of Great Britain.
| In order to show the extraordinary power of
money to accumulate by interest to demonstrate
the correctness of the foregoing statement, and
to impress upon the minds of all, the great i'm
portance of paying the national debt at the ear
Hest possible moment we submit the following
statement:
| One thousand dollars, with (simple) interest
collected annually. and re-inyested, would, in
one hundred gears, amount to the following
sums respectively: ..,r-
AT three (3) per cent. .............. 5 1888 OF
At six (6) per cent. ...-............ 3Ss, 9O2 "a
At eight All Is 4.10) per cent?. 3,1S0,214 Is
Six per cent gold is equal to eight and four
tenths per cent. in currency, when gold is 40 per
cent premium
The above figures indicate the result of the
the accumulation of money by interest for one
hundred years only. Where is the man who can
comprehend the amount that would be reached
in two hundred years? We don't know him.

FINE TIMES IN WASHINGTON
CITY.

The Radicals carried the election
Monday. Their opponents made but
little contest, and the polls were aban-
doned to the negroes. A very serious
riot occurred in the second ward. The
negroes chased a Conservative black
man to his house, which they assaulted
the inmates escaping to the rear. The
Conservative found refuge in the upper
story. The police surrounded the house
and brought the Conservative down EN-
closed him in a hollow square and took
him to the poll, when he voted. The
negroes now became furious and threw
voleys of stones and fred an occasional
pistol shot The chief of police was
hurt in the arm, when he ordered his
force to fire over the mob. This in-
creased the mob's violence, when the
police was forced to fire into them, kill
ing one and wounding three, when the
mob fled
We publish the above to place before
our people the consequences of failing
to register and vote. Nobody pretends
that there are more negroes than whites
in Washington. On the contrary there
are probably three or four whites to one
negro. Congress has thought proper tc
enforce equal suffrage there to whites
and blacks, and the offended native
white population throw themselves up
on their dignity and refuse to ragister
and to vote, and thus submit to negro
supremacy. There were 5000 less
whites registered in Washington this
year than last year. That is the plain
story. With power to hold and con-
troll the government of the city, they
suffer it tt, pass into the hands of the
negroes and their lovers, almost with
out contest What shall W, say of
this? If men choose to surrender their
rights and hold up their hands for the
manacle$, what can be said?
We iinplore the people of Virginia
not to initiate this examp lie. We have
tho power to take our government into
our own hands. Let us not lose it by
any inaction or supineness. On, the
contrary, the State now imperatively
demands of every citizen to do his duty.
Let us think of this melancholy subver-
sion of the white mans government in
Washington City, and let every man re-
solve that no such fate shall befall the
proud old Commonwealth of Virg inia
under any circumstances.

RES The woe-stricken Democratic
clerk who mournfully exclaimed, on res
ceiving his dismissal from office, that
I" he didn't believe the American people
would ever have another opportunity to
vote for President" was fairly matched
by the late lamented Professor" Will
COX, who, on being informed few days
ago that his resignation would be &C.
copied, addressed long letter to Sec
rotary Boutwell,, in which he said: "My
judgment agrees with the opinion o.
leading radicals that this Government
is unconsciously tending to despotism
and am disposed to attribute my re.
moval to my known disposition to re.
sist that tendency" A New England
contemporary is disposed to think, how
ever, with all due respect to the I" Pro-
fessor," that it was because he drew his
pay without earning it.

GOV. SMITHS LETTER.

ALL There are few men of character
and talents who allow their prejudices
to blind them, and refuse to acknowl-
edge that no earthly power can prevent
the ratification of the Constitution, and

eA.. White men, don't let the Wells
organs and their co-laborers, the Bour-
bon press, deceive you as to the qucs-
ton at issue. 1t is not whether you
shall vote for negro suffrage. That ques-
ton is fixed by the reconstruction acts
and you have no power over it, and can
not 90 behind it. The true question
that you are called to decide is, whether
those whites disfranchised by the I'm
derwood Constitution, shall be enfran-
chised or not If the Constitution is
defeated by your vote against it, they
stand DISTINGUISHED, with no prospect
hereafter to get that disfranchisement
removed by Congress.
Look we'll to this feature, as the Rich.

want to enfranchise the whites.
