N Senator Cameron, having
shown some displeasure, at the de
mand of the people for the abolition
of the franklng privilege, the Tole-
do Blade thus calls the Honorable
Senator'S attention as to the dispo-
sition made OF the hundreds of tons
of public documents, furnished the
country at the expense of the Gov
ernment under the frank of members
of Congress
Let Mr.. Cameron take walk, the
next time he visits New York, along
the paper establishments in Will
liam street, and he will see hun
dreds and thousands of cords of
documents, printed at great expense
which have never been taken from
the wrappers but unopened and I'M
read, are awaiting transportation to
that bourne from which no public
document ever returns in its origin

find in that street men who will as
sure him that they buy Of members of
Congress cords of this stuff, and
hundreds Of cords more from their
constituents. He will learn, if he
does not know it, that not one in

printed are ever opened or read,
and of those which are read, the val
liable matter contained in them is
printed in infinitely better form by
private enterprise. 4r

The Franking Privilege.

The Cleveland Herald very appro-
priately says:
The House, in the passage of the
bill abolishing the Franking Privil
ege. swung, as a pendulum, clear to
the extreme. This was rather
burst of passion than the effect of
worthy impulse. A goodly number
of our Congressman have very
high appreciation of the value of the
Franking Privilege. 1t not only
saves postage, but it saves Express
charges on dry goods, millinery and
hardware sent in mail bags, and it
buys political friends. An intimate
acquaintance with the Representa-
tives would show that very many of
them spend their exertions in fgur-
ing on their pay and perquisites. A

On the 4th inst, in the United
States Senate, on motion of Mr.
Ramsey, the House bill for the abol-
itlon of the franking privilege was
taken up. lt
Hon Jno. Sherman moved to amer d
tie first section by adding provis-
ion that nothing therein contained
shall be constructed to repeal or eff
feet the free transmission by the
mails Of newspapers within twenty
miles Of the place of publication.
MIR. Ramsey tEoaeht the adop
ton ofthe amendment might retard
the speedy passage of the bill, by re-
uuircing it's further consideration by
the House.
Mr. Sherman believed the amend
ment would strengthen the measure
among its friends in the House, and
urged its adoption, in justice to the
country papers, which could not, in
the matter Of postage, compete with
the large dailies. He thought it
would be gross injustice to charge
small country newspapers, circulat-
ing within short distances, the same
rate of postage paid by large dai-
lies which were transmitted thou
sands ofmils. ~
Mr.. Conkling suggested that the
Senate might pass the bill as twas,
and that such notifications of the
;, measure as were necessary might be
considered in committee, and enact
ed in the shape of separate bill
Mr.. Drake thought the amend
ment did not go far enough, and
proposed to amend so as to contin-
ue the existing provisions of the
law in favor of publishers of news
papers and periodicals.
1 Mr.. Hamlin said the bill, if passed
would not go into operation unit
July l, and there was no special ne
cessity for its immediate considera
ton. He therefore moved to post
pone the whole subject, in order te
take up the business relatingto the
District Of Columbia, action upor
which was urgently demanded.
Mr.. Wiley suggested an amend
ment to the bill, to allow the fre'
transmission in the mails of the news

lation does not exceed two thousand

Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1870-02-11

the expenditures OF the last nine
months are found to be in accord
ance with such policy the admins
tration stands vindicated, if other
wise, it has betrayed solemn and
most important trust. The vital
question upon which the admins
tration is to be judged, is not what
are the estiI ates for the hIiAre,
but what are the expendi-
lures of the past? The answer is
ina comparison of the expenditures
of the past two fiscal quarters of
1869, with those of the correspond
ing period in 1868. Fortunately,
for the truth, it happens tlatjust at
a time when the economy of the ad
ministration is being called into
most serious question, that the rec
ords of the second fiscal quarter of
1869, are so far complete that they
can be taken into the account. The
question of the people to the admin
istration is what it does with the
money. Here is the answer:
The aggregate expenditures; exclu-
sive of interest on public debt.for
The first quarter of the fiscal year
1868, ending Sept 80, 1868. under
johnson, We're $66, 6,4O9, Csc
Grant they were SC, O,49o ,095
Reduction in 1869 s15.sl9, ,561
The aggregate expenditures. exclu-
sive OF interest on the public debt
for the second quarter of the fiscal
der johnson, were si6,oso. .435
For the same quarter in 1859, under
I. Grant they We're sc, 76s. .953
Reduction in 1859 s9,3a5 4s2
The total interest on public debt for
the first half of fiscal yeaI, 1868,
from July L. to Dec. 81, 1853, was $64, 971 ,127
For the first half of the rent fis-
cal year, from July 1 to Dec. 81,
Reduction in 1869 ss,ole 74a
The toral reduction of eSpendi-
lures, therefore, was for the first
half of Grants first fiscal year, as
compared with the first half Of ohm
sons last fiscal year, as follows:
In first quarter $15 1913, sci
In second quarter 9,325, ,4Sl
On public debt in both quarters 2Ol9 T41
Total net reduction for the first half
of Grants fiscal year s2T.a65, ,79(
This then is the record of expendi
tnres. But if it shall appear that
through inefficient administrator OF
the laws, the resources of the country
have been decreased, if in other
words, the administrator has lost
as much in shrunken receipts as it
has gained by economy in outlay
the result is still short Of what the
country has right to expect. III
this respect, however, the figures
tend to still further brighten the rec
ord of the past half year. Although
the returns of this department are
not yet absolutely complete, they
are so nearly finished that the aggre
gates given below are perfectly safe
Net gains from customs. July, 1. to
| Net gain from internal revenue,

Net gain in receipts % s72 co
Net reduction of expenditures 81 1854, ,T9
Total gain for first half of Grants

| These, therefore, are the figure
upon whose logic the success or fail
ure of President Grant thus far de
pends. That such record will effect
ually clear away whatever doubt
or suspicion may have been raise'
| by the speech of Mr.. Dawes, tn
most determined enemy Of the Ad
ministration must admit.

WILL THERE BE WAR.

Olnce tne auOptlOu VI tHc cit
teenth Amendment by Ohio, this
has become practical question. To
show something of the imminency
of the case, we quote few of the
ominous mutterings of the Demo
cratic press. Hear the Napoleon
Northwest.
No. This hidcous rule must not be
submitted to. The exterpation of
the black race from the continent,
as an alternative, we heartily and
zealous!y favor AS race, except
as slaves, they are of no use to God
: or man.
A flag was raised in this town
when the Abomination received the
assent of Ohio. 1t was an insult to
every white inhabitant of the place.
Even Republicans, in the depths of
their hearts, are disgusted, and rea-
dy to revolt at the insult,wrong and
outrage inflicted on them. as well as
on Democrats, by the adoption OF
this Amendment.
The end is not yet.
Is not this portentous-aye,
tn, catening !? .The end is not yet %
What does that mean? But let us
hear the Putnam County Sentinel.
1t says:
1t remains to be seen whether
this fraud will win in the end. If we
mistake not the temper of the peo
pie, the consummation of rhis in
iquity will bring upon those who
perpetrated 1t fearful reckoning al
the next election. An outraged and
betrayed people will arse in the
majesty of their power and hur
from office the party that so out
rageously abused the trust repose6
in them. They may now prepare
themselves for the wrath to come.
''The wrath to GOMEZ" Chilling
words! But may they not be limi
ted in their Specification, to th'
Fearful reckoning at the next elec
tion2" If SO, there is yet hope
The "ncxt elections" have not beel
for some years past specially dis
tinguished for "wrath. so far as tn
Republicans are concerned, ant
they may not be in the immediat
future.
But here we are, our hopes 0
peace disappointed by the followin,
startling and sanguinaIy declaration
Of the States and Union, the Demo
cratic organ Of Ashland county. H
says this: ~. a
Let them 90 ahead, they will 500

the American people will take tn
scoundrels by the throat, and pu
