How TO Stop "A APE

The following from one of our exchan-

you have an undoubted right to stop
a newspaper whenever you are disposed.

hesitate to do so on account of any ten
derness Of feeling for the editor Don't
you suppose he would stop buying sugar
Of you, or meat, clothing, dry goods, &c,
if he thought he was not getting his
moneys worth? And when You diseon-
tinue a paper, do so manfully. Don't be
so pitiful as to throw it back to the post
master with Il contemptuous 4 don't want
it any longerl' and have refused written
on the margin, and have the paper re-
turned to the editor. No gentleman ever
stopped a paper in that way, no matter if
his head is covered with gray hairs that
should be honorable. If you do not wish
longer to receive a newspaper, write a
note to the editor like a man, saying 30
and be sure that arrearages are paid. This
Is the way to stop q newspaper"

Ex-CoMMIssIoNER WELLS has written
an important letter to A. T. Stewart, of
New York, showing that the balance of
indebtedness of the United States to for
eign countries for the fiscal year ending
June SOth, was. approximately, $4,000,
600, made up Of $40. 100000 adverse bal
ance in the merchandise account, includ-
ing excess of imports over exports, and
reduction of foreign merchandise in our
bonded warehouses $50. 900 for IN
terest paid abroad 500, 100000 excess of
freights carried in foreign bottoms, and
$25.OOO.OOO expenditures by Americans in
foreign countries. Towards the settle
ment of this indebtedness we exported in
the first ten months of the fiscal year
SCI ,9S3,7S3 in specie and bullion, and as
to the manner in which the balance shall
be provided for, Mr.. Wells says he leaves
Mr.. Stewart to draw his W inference.
Our imports from July lst, 1869 to May
lst, 1870, amounted to $3.50, SIS, 55l-
S27,669.6S7 more than exports and re-ex-
ports, and the reduction of foreign mer-
chandizc in our bonded warehouses du-
ring the same time amounted to Sc, 705, 742,
leaving $55. 74s. 694 in band. Specie ex-
ports for the same time, $45, POS, 767.

The negro has been astonished to find
bis children becoming a milestone on his
neck. They consume a large part of his
earnings. and 10 longer bring him honor;
they disable the wife for the performance
Of labor, and the obtaining of wages
they are frequently insurmountable obsta-
cles to the procurement of situations to
which the parents are otherwise perfectly
eligible, and which are nesirable and lu-
c~rative. In q word. they are vastly more
troublesome than formerly. The effect of
this is what might have been seen from
their low ideas Of morality-infanticide
So universalis this practice that even the
most unobservant have remarked the pau
city of negro infants and the knowledge
of it has already reached Europe. In adj
dition to this, those children which are
spared are neglected, in a great measure,
and the rate of mortality amongst them is
much higher than before the war. With
a far less number Of births. then, and a far
less proportion of infants raised, the negro
population is stricken at its root.

The new Funding Bill does not contain
any provisions for the relief of the soldiers
who enlisted in 1861, upon the faith of the
Government that they were TO receive
thirteen dollars a month in gold, but who
were afterward compelled to take that
amount in legal tenders worth from five
to seven dollars only in gold. The debt
due to these soldiers several hundred
thousand in number, has been paid only
in part. The passage of the Funding Bill
proves that it is the intention of the party
in power to ~repudiate, their plighted faith
TO the army. There was room in the bill
only for the ~bondholder, who loaned mon
ey at the rate of forty cents in gold, and
who now demands one hundred, and has
been promised that sum in return. Per-
haps the old veterans, who were the first
in front in 1861 and the early part of
1899, will see the propriety of this dis
elimination against them, but we confess
we do not. 1t strikes US, if any thing was
to be founded, that the wrong debt has
been placed in that category. We should
hrst pay those whom we agreed to pay in
gold before we tender that commodity to
others who consented to take their dues
n deprecated paper. We should give the
preference in payment to the man who
risked his life in the cause of the Govern
ment, rather than another who only lent
money at an exorbitant and usurious rate
OF interest. But the truth is that the
soldiers had not the money to buy up
Congress, and their obligations are there
fore repudiated.

IMAGINE what a howl of Indignation
would have arisen from all the truly loyal
if such a crime as this had occurred in q
Southern State: Miss W~hittemore, q
school teacher in Ashburnham, Massachu-
sets, received a note on the 9th of June,
warning her to leave the district on the
peril of her life. The same day, while
passing along the public highway, accom-
panied by Others, some unknown person
threw a stone, which, striking her upon
the back of the head, caused serious if not
fatal injury. Since the assault she has
been rational but a few moments at a
time, and nothing can, therefore, be
learned from her as to the invidual or pos
sible motives of her assailant.

ago. He was to deliver a lecture in Gin

to the Burnet asking for 4 suit of rooms
