Is THE AMERICAN STOCK RUN.
MING OUT.

Some of the New England States are
Just now considerably exercised over
the increasing diminution in the num-
Der of births of American parentage.
For example, the annual birth rate in
Bostan falls considerably behind the
death rate. The foreign population of
the city is not less than threeveights of
the whole, and in this population the
ratio of births and deaths is more than
three to one. This dispropOrtion holds
good in all the cities of the State. It
appears from the report of 1867 of the
Board of School Commissioners ofNew
Hampshire, that there has been fall
ing of in the number of children at
tending school of 16, ,736 in eight years
time. The statistics of Maine show a
similar decrease, and the Kennebeck
Journal observes: 'sThe cause of this
falling off in school returns is not i'll
the caTelessness or mistake in the re-
turn OF the number of children, bot
that the children are becoming less in
number yearly, except in manufactur-
ing towns, or whore there is an influx
of foreign DO opulatiOn. This diminution
is to be accounted for from the fact that
the births in many towns do not, at the
present day, exceed the deaths"

taxed bonds are incompatible with a gov
eminent of the people. And rather than
to lose their hold upon the purses of the
people, they cry ''Let the republic perish"
1t is we'll that this issue is made thus ear
ly in Grants administration, for the whole
time from now until the next Presidential
election can be employed in forcing the
matter upon the attention of the people.
When they have fairly comprehended it,
they will set the matter right, unless the
coming emperor shall be too quick for
them, and establish himself in power by
aid of the army and his personal adherents.
The moneyad aristocracy will be lavish Of
means, as it was in the late election, to
carry its ends, and keep the people under
the yoke of the bondholders. Aud the peo-
pie must decide whether they will allow the
debt to overthrow the Republic or the Re-
public to master the debt. One or the
other must take place.
| The demonstration made by the issue of
this sheet would not be of character so
alarming, did not the whole history Of the
party under whose patronage it is put forth,
furnish ground for the fear it inspires.
Revolutionary in its ideas, purposes and
acts, it has already gone far in the direc-
ton that the Imperialist advocates. 1t has
violated the laws until violations have be-
come familiar. 1t has over-ridden the
Constitution until it becomes difficult to
realize that we have such au instrument
left. 1t has encroached upon the rights of
| the States,-those rights which the great
and good Jefferson declared to be the
surest bulwark against anti-republican ten
denotes and promoted Capitalization, un-
til the government is semi-imperial already.
1t has placed at the head of the government
''an epauletted Sphinx" prodigal of human
life, and dizzy with his sudden elevation.
And finally, it establishes and maintains an
organ to spread before the country the
glories of imperialism. Do not these foot
prints all point the same way:
We hope our apprehensiops may not be
well founded. But we think the signs of
the times are far too serious to be disre-
garded Let us remember that one of the
wisest of modern statesmen has said that
"early and provident fear is the mother of
safety"

Sprague Again.

The sharp and sarcastic speeches of SEN
ator Sprague have nettled the radicals Sena-
tors very seriously. And as he continues
to talk ''right out in meeting" there is no
telling what new doses may be decocted
during the recess, and poured down their
Threats at the next meeting. Last week
Sprague made an amusing speech in which
he compared two Senators to mastiff and
a puppy. Abbott, of North Carolina, who
appropriated to himself the puppy compari-
son, avowed determination to call Sprague
to account. The following is a sketch of
the matter
Senator Abbott sent up to be read the words
uttered by Sprague telling the story about
puppy and mastif and said his intention was
to ask the the Senator from Rhode Island if he
intended to apply the term puppy to him? If
he did, he (Abbott) intended to ask for re-
traction as full as the Implication, and If that
was refused, his intention was to ask for salts
1actlon out OF this Chamber. He gave notice,
inasmuch as the Senator had skulked out of the
Chamber, that be intended to have satisfaction
out OF the Chamber.
MI. summer rose to point of order, and
stated that the Senator had avowed his deter
mination to violate the law Of the land
Mr.. Abbott denied making any such an
nouncement.
Mr.. Simmer insisted he had violated the
rules Of the Senate, and called on the Chair to
take notice of It..
At MIR. Humans instance. Mr.. Abbott's
words were read by the reporter, and the Presi-
dent protein decided that they were not neces-
sarily declaration of intention to violate the
law Of the land
Mr.. Thurman submitted that they required
an explanation at the hands OF the Senator from
North Carolina.
Mr.. Abbott stated he was not duelist, was
not educated as duelllst and did not mean
that sort of thing-but he meant to say that
the Senator must make retraction as broad as
the assertion. (Cres of "order.")
Mr.. Nye, (sotto voice)-"Spank him!
Mr.. Abbott continued that he should have
satisfaction, and that satisfaction outside of
this Chamber.
At last accounts no collision had taken
place, although the friends of both parties
had expected one. Sprague remained at his
rooms the next day, awaiting a hostile
message, but none came
