DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 1869.

Grant that the sound financial policy
is economy, retrenchment, the faith
/ ful payment of the public debt.
On the subject of elevating to ofhce
the men who were against the country
during the war. they have again de-
clared that until every question
arising out of the rebellion rela-
ting to the payment of the public debt
to the integrity of the nation and the
rights of man, has been wisely settled
that no man should be trusted with
political power who il the great con-
f1ict for the nations life was unfaith-
full to the cause of union and liberty.
[Cheers.
[ thank you, felIow-o -oitizens, for
your attention, and beg to assure men
of all parties that nothing has occur
ed during the whole canvass, to produce
In me any unkind feeling toward my
adversaries; and I trust, if the official
figures shall correspond with what
the Committee have furnished US this
evening, that / shall be able to dis
charge the duties of my second term
without partisan bias toward any citi-
zen.
Again thanking you, I bid you
good night. Immense cheering.
At the conclusion of the speech a
tOrchlight procession was formed,
headed bya brass band, which paraded
the principal streets, proolaimiug the
glad tidings to all the city, and then
returned to the Committee rooms,
where handsome little speech was
made by Hon. r. D. Harrison.

REPUBLICAN REJOICING AT
THE CAPITAL.
speeches by Governor Hayes and Hon
r. ID. Harrison

Speeches by Governor Hayes and Hon.
r.. ID. Harrison.
The Democrats had their rejoicing
on the night of the election, when i'm
perfect returns seemed to indicate
their success in this State. The Re-
publicans wisely refrained from aEy
demonstrations until enough returns
had been received to make their tri-
umph sure Wednesday night they
had a bonfire and music at the Capital
much to the discomfort of their Dem
cratic neighbors. Governor Hayes
was serenaded, and in response to re-
peated calls appeared and spoke as fol-
lows:
FELLOW -CITIZENs-It is quite nat
ural that after the noisy demonstra-
tons of last evening. of our adverse
ries in celebrating their supposed vic
tory, that the Republican people of
Columbus should feel disposed to
how their satisfaction with the result
of the election of yesterday, and should
meet to congratulate each other upon
it; and certainly there is great reason
for rejoicing.
Before speaking of what has been
achieved by the election. allow me. in
the name of the Republican party of
Ohio, to thank the Republican Ex
ecutive Committee of the State for
the zeal, efficiency, industry and pru-
dence by which they have contributed
SO much to achieve the victory we
have assembled to celebrate. ALLOW
me, also, in the name of the Republi-
can people Of the State, to thank the
Republicans of Franklin county, aud
the Republicans Of the city of Col
umbus, aud the Executive Committee
of the county, for their success in
making such large strides in redeem
in the capital Of the State. Cheers. !
1t would be difficult to Overrate the
importance of the victory we are cele
brating. At the beginning of the can
vass ] supposed the discussions of the
canvass would mainly turn upon the
State issues; but the nomination of
the distinguished gentleman who was
my competitor, and the speech which
contained his platform of principles,
gave to the canvass a national signif-
canoe. The success of Mr.. Pendleton
upon that speech would have signified
that reaction had begun in Ohio on
the subject of construction, on the
question of reputation and on the re-
5Drd of public men who, from the be
/ ginning to the end, opposed the war.
By deciding against Mr.. PendletOn
the people of Ohio have decided to
stand by the Republican plan of re-
construction, and to complete it by the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the Uni
/ ted States. TCheers.l They wish
what has been settled to remain set.

The whole number of Chinese immi-
grants to California for the eight
months succeeding January /. 1869, is
stated at about II 900, which is at the
rate Ct about 10000 a year. The arri
walls in past years have been very irreg-
ular, ranging from Is, ,423 in 1862, to 2,
351 in 1866. In fact the arrivals from
1852 to 1868 inclusive were 88402,
showing an average of over 5000 a
year, while from 1864 to 1868 inolu-
sive, the arrivals averaged only 3,2l9 a
year. With the recent spreading of
the immigrants into other States, it
appears that the Chinese population in
California is not alarmingly increasing.
Recently, a larger proportion Of WO-
men have come-a larger number with
in the last twelve months than in any
equal period before. This immigra-
tion of their membranes indicates
an intention to stay. As every dead
Chinaman has to be sent back In order
TO preserve the family circle the immi-
grafton furnishes a considerable re-
turn trade.

The following is the letter of Hon.
David A. Wells, United States Com
missioner of Revenue, to Hon. Thorn
as H. Dudley, United States Consul
at Liverpool, in regard to our present
financial condition and prospects, to
which reference was made in a cable
dispatch from London recently pub
lished in the newspapers
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, 1869.
DEAR SIR In answer to the in
QuIry In your note of the 9Th as to
the probable surplus revenue of the
United States which can be made ap-
plicable during the current fiscal year
for a further and continued reduction
of the public debt, [ will, in place of
giving you a direct and specific opin-
ion, ask your attention to the follow
ing figures The accounts of the
Treasury for the fiscal year which end
ed on the Both of June last have not
yet been fully completed but enough
is at present known to make it certain
that the excess of receipts over ex-
penditures was at least S48, 900 600
e., receipts. 1871, 100000; expendi-
lures. 1923. 100000.
AS no radical change in the laws
imposing taxation or in the business
Of the country can be Immediately
anticipated, we are warranted in be-
lieving that the above surplus will at
least be continued during the current
year, and we therefore assume it as
the basis of our estimate.
To this amount must be added two
specific items of expenditure provided
for our current receipts during the
last fiscal year, which will not be car
ried over into the present year, and
must therefore, be reckoned as a neat
gain to the Treasury, viz, $19, 100000
required to complete the payments for
extra bounties, and $4,000 gold
equivalent to $9,500,000 currency
disbursed in payment of the Alaska
purchase.
The present annual elasticity of the
revenue, or its increase from the in
crease of the country in wealth and
population. will average at present
S15 900, 900. while the gain from the
rigid system of economy inaugurated
bv the present Administration, and
from more faithful collection of its
taxes, viii undoubtedly equal,
and probably exceed, $30,00O,000.
The sum of the several items will be
found to be $4,000 900, which ap-
proximately indicate the amount of
surplus revenue which is likely to be
placed at the disposal of the Treas
ury during the current fiscal year, and
made applica BILE for the furthest re
duction of the national debt.
It only remains for me to call your
attention to the fact that an annual
investment of 500 100000 at six per
cent. in a sinking fund will extinguish
the entire principal of our debt in less
than fifteen years or if the coutribu-
tiou IN the sinking fund be limited to
$50, 600, 900 per aunum, at six per cent.
Cand a smaller contribution than this
Is not in accordance with popular SEN
timent,) the law will only be extended
TO twenty three years and between
these periods you have. in my opinion,
the exact time when the present pub
lie debt of the United States will be
extinguished.
| am yours, most respectfully,
DAVID A. WELLS,
United States Commissioner of Rev
enue.

of the United States, Liverpool.
