More Democratic ECONOMY.

Every examination of the laws passed
by our Democratic Legislature last
winter develops more and more of that
peculiar ECONOMY" which is SO highly
lauded in the Democratic platform, to-
wit: new avenues of expenditure in
enormous amounts I ga
The new criminal code has made a
great change in procedure. Among
Others, Sec. 164. Title 7, provides that
''in the trial Of felons the jury shall not
be permitted to separate after being
sworn, until discharged by the court"
Formerly the court had authority,
whenever the popularity of the case
demanded it, to keep the jury together
after being sworn, in order that no out
side influence could affect them, but
this action would not be required 10 one
case out of a hundred Yet this code
takes all discretion away from the court,
and makes it imperative in all cases Of
felony that is, in all cases punishable
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary).
This is something like returning to the
old English rule, when the jury was
kept without light, fuel or food until
they had agreed, and, in the event ofa
disagreement, tied to the tail of cart
and whipped publicly around the cir
cult No express provision is made in
the code for feeding the jury while thus
being kept together, or paying for it,
but it is to be presumed that the Legis-
lature did not intend they should be
starved Are they to be fed on the
fare provided by the Commissioners
for inmates of the Jail, or mast that
body get up a special bill of fare for
them, specifying what shall be the meat
and drink for breakfast, dinner and
supper? Ifso, should they not adyer-
tise for proposals to furnish entertain
ment for the jury according to the bill
Of fare to be seen at the Commissioners
Office?
Bit, seriously, this will be great
evil IN the way Of expenditure. The
criminal branch Of the Common Pleas
Of this county is engaged, on an aver
age, six months in year in trying this
kind of cases Sometimes while one
jury is out deliberating, another is
called, and sworn, and each of them
must be provided for with bed and
board. What will be the expense7
We have made a careful estimate, and
think it can hardly be less than $1,000
per annum in this county. and with the
eighty. FIVE counties of this State the
total expense must be $4,000 per
annum. = Cincinnati Chronicle.

The Enquirer's Misrepresentation fol
the month of July, it is seen, is over
tlro hundred million dollars. And this i;
the kind OF information that people who
read only the Enquirer are supplied
with. ''
The accrued interest on the lst o.
July, which Mr.. Boutwell, counted as
part of the debt, was SAT, AT, $40
This we have deducted from the July
exhibit, given above, in order to make
a fair comparison, the accrued interest
not having been counted by Mr.. Nc
Culloch, as part of the debt.
Now let us come down to the be-
ginning of Grants administration.
Under the plundering administration
that terminated on the 4th of March,
the monthly debt statement showed an
almost steady increase for the preced-
ing year On the Ist of March, 1869,
the total debt, less cash in the Trea-
sury, not counting the accrued int crest,
was S2,545, 336, ,6O4. On the lst OF
April, Mr., Boutwell, issued his first
statement, and in this he included $780,
304,916 GA, accrued interest With
this item added, the debt, less cash in
the Treasury, was $9, 525, 106,4G IA.
Mr.. McCulloch, however, included in
his exhibit S53, 937, 900 bonds issued to
Pacific railroads This is not embraced
in Mr.. Boutwell's footings. Deducting
this item from the March statement,
and the accrued interest from the April
statement, the figures compare as fol-
lows: t,...

One Of the many false claims set up
by the demagogical Democracy is, that
the party is the great architectof home
stead laws for the benefit Of the poor
man One would suppose that the
chief end of the Democratic party had
been to pass homestead laws for the
protection of men with small property.
It has been usually limited that if the
Democratic party could once get into
power they would not only prevent the
sale of any homesteads the poor but
honest people might own, but they
would present small farm to every
voter, and stock it for him if he was a
repeater.
Now the fact is, that none of these
ingenious gentlemen have eversucesed-
ed in getting a homestead bill through
Congress, giving a homestead to actd-
al settlers A Republican Congress
passed the first bill of that sort in the
history of the country. lT
The fact is that the last General As
sembly, with majority in both branch
es, upon motion Of Mr.. Stambaugh,
Democrat, postponed and killed a
homestead bill exempting thousand
dollars. Mr.. Godfrey, Democratic can
didate for Lieutenant Governor voted
for the motion (Seuate Journal for
1868, 569.) 1t did however manage to
get through the Senate a bill exempt
ing $500, with the help of all the Re
publican votes. Ali the negative votes
were Democrats. Columbus Journal.

The Public Debt.

Honesty and economy was one Of the
leading notices upon which the Re-
publicans conducted the Presidential
campaign of 1868 and elected Grant.
In accepting the nomination Grant dis
tlnctly recognized this feature, and in
this regard he has not forgotten his
promise. With special reference to
honesty and economy his administration
was organized and is being conducted,
and nothing is more annoying to Dem
ocratic demagogues, and such papers
as the Cincinnati Enquirer, than the
success that has already been achieved.
Witness the following from the En-
quirer of the Sd instant:
A correspondent from Jackson coun-
ty, Ohio, desires as to give the amount
of the public debt at various times
since the war closed, in April, 1865.
He will find it in the figures below
We omit the cents:
April ], 1865 ...................s23 $3.50. 1915, or
September ], 1865, 2. Isl. .6sO.571
November l. 1867 .............. 2401, ,504450
november ], 1868 2,521,120,532
July Io6V 6V........,............ 2,645,l1O,294
The above tells the official story, and
shows how false are the statements of
the Radical press that the public debt
is being rapidly paid Off II is larger
nOto than ii waS on The Isl Of Norem5cr,
1868, by over one hundred million dollars.
BY deducting the amount Of means on
hand, it would appear TO be fifty mil
lion dollars less, but that deduction was
not made at the other times with which
we make comparison, and is there
fore uniform. As it is evident that the
debt is considerably larger now than it
was when the war closed, it may be ia
ken for granted that we are not paying
it off very rapidly. Indeed, at that
rate, it would be some time after eter-
nifty closed before we should reduce it"
Now see how figures are made to lie.
On the 1st of April, 1865, our armies
were in the field, and the debt, accord
ing to the official report of Secretary
McCulloch, was increasing at the rate
of$3, 100000 per day 1t is useless,
therefore, to go back to that time for a
comparison. Even in September, 1865.
the debt was not all on the books, and
could not be determined. The total
debt at this date, not including interest,
Or deducting the cash on hand, was 81
753, $50, ,571. The interest at the time
was officially reported at S138, OBI 1928,
which, added to the debt as is now
done by Mr. Boutwell,, would swell the
amount to g, 881, ,721 ,199. We pass
this by, however, and come down to
November, 1867, since which time the
statements have been uniform, except
that then the accrued interest was not
added to the debt, while now this item
is given on the debtor side, The fig
ures given by the Enquirer compare
with the correct exhibits as follows:

LEARN TO WAIT.-Of all the lessons
that humanity has to learn in life's school,
the hardest is to learn to wait. Not to
wait with the folded hands that claim life's
prizes without previous effort, but, having
struggled and crowded the slow years with
trial, see no such results as effort seems to
warrant-nay perhaps, disaster instead
To stand firm at such crisis of existence,
to preserve ones self-praise and self res
pect, not to lose hold or to relax effort,
this is greatness, whether achieved by man
or woman, whether the eye Of the world
notes it, or it is recorded in that book
which the light of eternity shall alone
make clear to the vision.

She knelt beneath the arbors shade,
Where evening shadows softly creep,
Clasping her hands, she gently said:
"Now / lay me down to sleep"
Upon her face there beamed smile
Of trusting love so pure and deep,
As from her young heart gushed the prayer
81 pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep"
Then nesting closer to my side,
In music such as zephyrs make,
Signing, she whispered low the words,
.sIf should die before 1 wake"
With perfect faith her eyes she raised,
Such faith as heavenly hopes awake,
And angels joined the sweet refrain:
"Receiye my soul for Jesus sake"

Upon our fair, young, conscious flower.

Yet oft upon the balmy air
At twilight hour, l hear again

GATHERINGS life was one of ceaseless la
Dor. She rose at six both in winter and
summer; she always retired to her room
at ten. Her day was chiefly passed in
her own apartments, at her desk, or IN
consultation with her trusty councillors
She planned her own military expeditions,
and attended the internal regulations of
her vast empire She sent out scientific
men, to explore her distant territories,
and brave navigators to trace the CONT
nent of America and the Islands of Behr-
ing strait. She founded schools and char
liable institutions, and looked with pity
on the suffering of the poor She plan
ned vast scheme of internal improve
ment; built canals, roads. and bridges in
various parts of the empire /; reform ed the
laws of the nation enforced justice pro-
tected, when she could not emancipate,
the serf recommended morality was as
siduous in her religious obseryances and
filled all Europe with the fame of her lib
crafty and benefcence.
Yet there were moments when Catherine
must have fels how giddy was that splen-
did eminence upon which she had placed
herself, aud when the anticipated pains of
deposition, shame, and death drove her to
remorseless deeds of cruelty and crime
At such moments no fear of infamy, no
sentiment Of pity, moved her from her
fearful design. She crushed the feeble
pretenders to her throne with relentless
hand. She pursued them to their deaths
with malignity full of fraud and vindic-
tiveness. Yet, in this respect, was she
more guilty than Elizabeth of England,
the executioner of her cousin. or Mary,
tn e assassin of her husband f; than Henry
VIII, OR Louis XIV?

her errors be buried with her They GER
tainly brought with them their own fearful
retribution. Prince Gregory Orlof, her
favorite for many years, and the chief au
thor of her greatness, died 1888, a raving
mailman, the victim of remorse. The
bleeding shade Of the murdered Peter
III followed him wherever he went; terri
fed him in horrible visions at night, and
seemed constantly to threaten him with a.
veDging darts. Orloff sometimes sunk in
to silent melancholy, and then broke out
into wild shouts of insane merriment. He
