upon which the adjustment was to be made,
and though many Republicans dissented from
the theory upon which 1t finally was made,
yet they accepted the fnality, as such, like
one who had reached home by an unwonted
road, and straightway forgot the way in the
arrival.
The election of General Grant, and his in
auguration one year ago yesterday, constituted
q new departure of the Republican party, but
without deviation of course. The people de-
clared that the work of Congress should not
be undone, as Frank Blair and the Democracy
proposed; that to firm adherence thereto,
should be added q policy of pacifcation; that
q broader and more national policy should be
pursued, and that economy and retrenchment
should be required in the administration of
affairs. year passed, and it is proper to
inquire how far those popular requirements
have, been answered, and what progress has
beenssmade
The record is grand one, and easily
summed up. The disabled States are all
healed, and the last one of them will soon be
represented in Congress- the ratification of
the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution is assured year of retrenchment
and economy has resulted in a reduction of
the public debt to the extent of over
300, 600, 900, with gold balance in the Trea-
sury of over sos, 200, 900; the gold premium
has fallen steadily to 113ff and there is every
prospect that in reasonable time the financial
problem, which looked SO difficult year ago,
will solve itself by resumption. In addition
to these solid accomplishments, the President
has strongly pronounced in favor of reduc.
ton of taxation to the extent of at least
$50, 100000 year, measure which is most
earnestly demanded by the people, and
pressed upon Congress. 1t remains to be
seen if the latter will respond to the demand
as readilv and as fyracefullv as the presidant
or whether it will, by refusing mar the grand
record which has thus far been made.
SO far as the President is concerned, no
better record could have been hoped for, no
more successful achievement expected, even
by the most sanguine. The people surely
have reason to be satisfied with the fruits of
the first year of President Grants admins
tration, and to regard the future with conf
dence.

food, forage and ammunition, in the heart
of an enemy's country, with lines of enor-
NOUS length, which no earthly power
could keep from being continually cut at

army, without shelter, Withstand all the
camp diseases which the cold rains of au-
tumn will soon Increase to q frightful ex-
tent? And while they are concentrating
all their efforts around Paris, new French
armies will be formed equal and superior
in numbers at least. Then the Prussians
must raise the siege to attack them, or
must themselves be besieged in their own
lines, or finally retreat as disastrously as
the French from Moscow. Well may
King William pause in his career of con-
quest to count the cost. Nothing except
cowardice, treachery, or insane dissension
on the part of the French, will enable him
to enter Paris as conqueror. But unfor
tunately for France, 1914 and 1916 give
reason to fear that the last two Of these
causes may again operate in 1870.

notice the arrival in that city OF three cars
of the screen Line" from st. Louis, one
loaded with grain in bulk for Augusta ana
the other two with -four for Charleston
and Columbia. These cars left st. Louis
on the I'd instant, and came through with
ont transfer or break of bulk. This ilne'
we understand, is now prepared for the
transportation of all freight in its care
from the Western markets to the Southern
seaboard, in any amount, without change
or breakage of bulk.
It seems to us that this line would turn-
ish O. good opportunity for our enterprls-

profitably exchanged for naval stores, SO
that the cars which bring the one coulo

expected him on his return from Salisbury,

administer justice in delivering from the
hands of the wicked, the many citizens Of
Caswell and Alamance, who had been ar
rested and deprived of their liberties by
Holden, Kirk and their myrmidons.

this great champion of constitutional liber

population of the town. including ladie
and gentlemen, children and old men
white and black, all turned out on the
wharf and along the streets to do him hon
or and welcome him home. Itwould have
thrilled the hearts of all the lovers o
peace, good order and law, to have
