The debate in the House of Repre-

replied that if the measure were kept
open till Monday, when the rules could
be suspended, he would move as an
amendment his committees proposition
for reduction by absorption discharge
and resignation. The debate as to the
best way of reaching the desired end
developed wide variety of opinion,
but it seems pretty certain that before
the end of next week some bill III this
direction will so through the House by
decided majority, and members of the
Senate Military Committee think it will
also be carried at that end of the Capitol.

Cary thinks proper. If the Democracy
will not rally on, this, then they are

said they were in the midst of the war.

How Labor mas been Effected by tho
War.


No one can afford to uphold an ire
deemable paper currency as blessing
to any class of society, not even TO the
speculator. But still our vast volume
of currency has not been an unmixed
evil to the people. We all know that
it has stimulated production in nearly
every department of iudnstry, and that
it has afforded the means OF successful
ly putting through many an enterprise
that would otherwise have lain dor
maut for years to come. It has built
miles of railroad and other public i'm
provements, that but for the state of
the currency would have had to blde
the slow growth of population and capt.
tai. In this way vast field to labor
has been thrown open, and in this way,
also, thousands of families have per-
haps enjoyed more ofthe comforts Of life
than they did in the days before the war.
Salaries and wages have pretty general
Iy kept pace with the rise in food and
other articles of necessity. This was
not the case at first, but it occurred in
time, and we are not sure but that the
tardiness in the advance has not been
pretty fully compensated Tor in the
iirmness with which 1t has maintained
itself as compared with tho prices of
living.
We are aware that Commissioner
Wells in his late report on the revenues
and general business affairs of the
country, takes the ground that the con-
dition of laboring men is not equal to
what 1t was in 1860. Considered with
regard to the ultimate of the times
through which we are passing, this NAV
he true. Paper money generally runs
its course like disease and leaves lis
patient worse Off for the attack. But
thus far we doubt the entire reliability
of MIR. Wells opinion. The New York
Tribune undertakes to show that flour
is 80 per ct. cheaper in 1868 than in 1860:
that meat and family groceries are but
10 per cent higher in 1868 than they were
in 1860 that rents are but from ID to %
per cent in advance of 1850, and that the
advance In wages is IS per cont, being
from % to SO per cent in favor of the
laborer. Counting without relerencetC
the depreciation of the currency, as Mr..
Wells does, the showing would be
Average advance in wages. "a per cent
average advance in provisions, 55 per
cent; difference in favor OF lSGS, 10 per
cent. This may be taken as about the
average OF the better condition of the
working men at the present time, and
close observation of the manner in
which workingrren live at the present,
the number of them who own their own
homes aud SO ON VIII go far 10 verify
the statement"

Tho Lrte CI,x ELECTION.

We had nattered ourselves that scnSi-
BILE pei sons abroad would naturally
admire aud commend tho action OF our
people in ignoring party ties aud party
lines in the late Municipal election and
choosing men TO Office with Il view to
the good government and prosperity of
the city. But unless we deny tina; the
Editor OF the WPatOn Democrat is a
sensible person, we far that VIC have
been mistaken, for that gentleman ar
r.isrs the Editor of the Register here in
sever. terms as disorganizer of the
Democracy and rs a traitor to the party.
His own words arc as follows:
II am greatly mortified and Grieved
to find that, in the recent munlcipaI
election held in the City of Wheeling,
the State organ of the Democratic party
turned tail upon the Democracy, and
used its whole power in the most Insid-
icuS and unworthy attacks upon the
candidates OF tina: ume-honored party.
This will not do, We have too much at
stake to allow ourselves TO be bought
and sold by an organ that Is supported
only because OF the principles 1t has
heretofore adVocntad. Ii has been suE-
3esI.d that Mr.. Walker is sore-headed
because of his defeat in tho recent can
Vh-S Tor congress-.
We consider that this assault upon
our neighbor is quito uncallcd for.
No ono acquainted with the facts OF the
late campaign will suppose that his
observation-disclosures he is afflicted in that
way nj all, had anything to do with his
opposition to what Is known as tho
Stanley ticket. People hereabouls give
him credit for better motives, and the
fact that tho Citizens ticket was so tri-
umphantly sustained, without regard
to party, ought to have suggested 10 the
Weston editor the possibility of such
better motives. We fear that he him
self is one ofthose people who are given
over to "stone blind" partisanism and
thus rendered incapable of appreciating
popular uprising on behalf of law
and order, and the good name and gen.
eral prosperity of community, such
as recently occurred among US.
We admit that such sight is unfor
tunately so rare as to excite remark,
and perhaps in some quarters it is nat
ural that it should excite suspicion, but
we trust that the editor of the Weston
Demoern! will live long enough, not
only to be convinced OF and atone for
his Injustice to our neighbor, but like.
wise TO witness the repetitions OF the
same course on the part OF our people
whenever there shall be like neces-
sity.
