that the Laboring Poor are shockingly sop
pressed and famished by the exorbltant taxa
ton required to pay the interest of our vast
National Debt, and support the Government,
Hear Gen. Butler on this point:
I've remember our own war OF the Rebellion. without
the legatcndcr note must have come 10 end IN the
beginning OF 1862 The banks had suspended, and like
broken reeds the Government could no longer lean upon
them business was parayzed; men and supplies could
hardly be obtained. the armies were unpaid, ana no
decisive battle had been fought when Congress passed
the LcgaTcndcr act OF 1902 From that time, business
rrceIyed "A uew inuuse labor was employed. manufac-
tures where sprung up supplies were abundant,
and although by great error the egatender note was
not made money of tine Government for all purposes.

there have not been more than financial panic

We Judge that Gen. Butler rather overdoes
the business in this passage; but he is "A great
deal nearer right than are his brethren who in
slst that the poor were never oppressed and
wretched as they now are.
Now consider that our great Civil War was
brought to close less than four years ago,
and that we have since not only punctually
paid the interest on our National Debt in Gold,
but have paid off not less than Three Hundred
Millions of the principal, including the mus
tering-out bounties to soldiers, claims to
States, &c, &c. The actual Public Debt Of
the United States is not this day nine tenths
of what it was on the 1st day of August, 1865.
when we were just emerging from long and
most destructive Civil War. And meantime
we have been paying off State, County, and
Town debts for bounties &c, and building
warehouses, factories, mills, railroads, &C.,

tional existence. What becomes, then, of the
knavish cant which makes the National Debt
oppressive to the poor and thereupon calls for
its total OF partial reputation

The civil war which has been raging in Japan
since the beginning of the year 1868 is at all
end. Prince Aidsen, the most powerful among
the Northern DaimiOs. who, after the resigna-
ton of the Tycoon, continued the war against
the Alikado on his own account, concluded
captulation with the Mikado OH the 9th of
November. The late Tycoon, Stotsbashi, being
deprived of all prominence before other Dai-
mios, has retired to his own private possessions,
and all the people of Yeddo who wished to
follow him were to be sent by the new Gov
ernment to his new province. The authority
of the young Mikado who has recently become
of age. is now recognized throughout the
country. Henceforth, the Mikado will be the
actual as well as the nominal ruler Yeddo,
which heretofore has been the residence of the
Tycoon, will now be the residence of the
Mikado and the capital of the Empire.
The policy of the young Mikado with regard
to foreign nations Will probably not differ ma
terially from that of the late Tycoon Per-
sonally, the latter was probably more favora-
BILE to foreigners than the men who conduct
the Government at present But strong assur-
ances have already been given TO the foreign
nations that the foreign treaties will be strict
ly observed Several foreigners will fill high
positions under the new Government. Viewed

The discussion in the Senate on the claim of
Miss Sue Murphy for indemnity for property
taken from her 10y our army for military pur-
poses, or destroyed by the operations of the
war, reveals the fact that there are still some
who think the inevitable injuries incident to a
gigantic war can be paid for. If property
even of loyal persons, seized by our armies in
the Confederate States ought to be paid for,
how much more ought the Northern people to
be paid for the taxes levied upon them
alone to carry on the war, before the
South was restored TO n tax-paying condition,
and for the loss of hundreds of thousands of
husbands and fathers whose liberty, property,
and lives were, in the course of military oper-
atons, and by stern military law, taken for
public use without just (or any compensa-
"ton." The application of this section of the
Constitution to cases of property seized III the
operations Of great war; is exactly on a par
with the plea that the provision that no person
shall be twice put in jeopardy of life OF limb
would forbid Union soldier from firing Il
second shot at Il Rebel if no failed to hit him
the first time. The Constitution says many
things which do not apply to state of war,
and among those is the provision that private
property shall not be taken for public use
without compensation" If applied to all the
cases that would arise, there would bo nothing
left to pay with.

We had not thought of the proposition to hold
the Inauguration Ball in the Capitol instead of
the accustomed place in the great hall OF the
Patent Office in precisely the light in which
the Senate treated it yesterday. But we are
not going to say one word against the Sena-
torial determination to maintain its dignity at
all hazards. 1t gives us a great deal of the
article sometimes but then the House gives us
painfully little, and between the two we always
hope to see the Senate doing enough to keep
up at least the average standard.

of public advantage many of them with just
grounds for such assumption. If the Northern
and Southern Pacific Railroads could both be
built within the next five years, we believe they
would add Five Hundred Millions of Dollars
to our National wealth within the twenty
years succeeding. We demur to their present
construction by Government aid simply that
the state of our finances forbids it. But II our
Government is able to build Telegraphs where
they are not wanted, why not Railroads where
they are the very first necessity OF settlement

The approaching close of the labors OF the
Congressional Committee, which has been III
session here for some weeks, makes 1t proper
to say that enough has become known to show
a skilful plan on the part of the Democratic
employers of roughs and repeaters to use them
as witnesses as a screen for the work OF the
same persons voters. This, we have reason
to think, is to afford the basis for the apology
which the Democratic minority will present
for the Tammany frauds.
