Our Financial Condition.

We are receipt of speech by the in
Vd<alfEs OF Indiana, upon our national
deft We do not propose to review our
condition or set down for our readers the
figures, that convey to the country such
startling information. The speech of
DAwes. chairman of Committee on Ap-
preparations, has SO astounded the coun
try, and has so completely paralized the
energies ofthe leading Radical politicians
in Congress, that, the attention Of all
parties is directed to the all-important
question of how are we to preserve our
honor by paying our debt, without total
ly destroying the wealth of the country
and completely bnnkrur ting the people.
How are veto pay without foreclosing
the mortgage on the muscle of the natio II
so eloquently adverted by Mr. VOORHEES,.
Apayment would be ruin, demonstrated,
and unavoidable \ failure TO pay, We
are told by the Republican party is ma
tional disgrace. The question of the Ma
tion's moral and legal obligation to pay
this debt, is being fully and fairly dis
cussed The eyes Of The people are upon
the members of Congress, their public
servants, and to them they look for n de
liverance from this knotty question.
Taxes are enormous both State and ma
,ional-and the people cannot long en-
dure it, Bankruptcy mustinevitably fol
low, and follow speedily. The party now
Empower made this debt and it behooves
them to prescribe a mode of payment,
that can be adopted and still save the
people from financial ruin. If they fail
nthis, can they hope to escape repudia
ton by the party to whom they may be
queath the management Of our national
affairs 1t will be no fault of the party
thus coming into power it viii be de-
nsanded by n tax oppressed people. From
the history of the Radical party, we have
nothing to expect, save extravaganza and
an increase Of Indebtedness We see re
ports from Mr.. Boutwell,, in which he de
monstrates that the debtis being rapidly
~ diminished. But behold !--Congfess
facets and the estimates as shown byI
Dawes are truly alarming. Hence weiind
that all the talk about reduction and re
trenchment is dcceiihil and utterly false
1T is "saving in at the spigot and let
ting out ut the bmg" While we are
rendering accounts Chat show decrease
Of expenditures, we are in fact running
and must rely for their pay
,nent on future appropriations For par
ty purposes a good show is made on pa
per- but Mr.. Dawes boldly unmasks the
monster and We are thunder struck at the

Whittemore remained in his seat through

The city water Works.

Mr.. EDITOR: It is generally known
that the City Council have entered into
an agreement with Mr.. Sprague's agont
to give him S1G.000por annum, for twen-
ty years, for supplying water, and as the
present cost of sufficient supply is but
IS, 600, it will be seen that any citizen
paying S5 year will now have to pay
$40, and SO on in proportion; and judg-
ing from the bungling terms of the con
tract, the city stands first-rate chance
to lose the whole amount of tho cost of
her Water Works.
This is but the commencement of iniqui-
tous city legislation and, if quietly borne,
will check nll improvements of city pro-
perty and drive capitalists to moro IA

AKMED BANDS On last Saturday, a
large body of armed negro militia from
this point, Clinton and Martins depot,
marched through the country to Jacks s
old field, rendezvous of local militia
company The preteXt of this long
march was, that the white mon would on
that day drive the local militia from its
underground.
Joe Crews and number of the Scott
Constabulary, led the company from
this quarter. About 1000 armed men
were marching on Friday night and Sat
urday, to this point. Old citizens, sixty
and seventy years old, were cursed and
lnsulted by the militia as they passed
their residences. In one case lady was
cursed and told that her husband should
be shot.
These marchings and counter march
lpgs of armed men through the country
will lead to bad results. If the negroes
want to muster, let them drill at their
own muster-ground, and then disperse.
Colorcd men should havo better sense
than to be amused and fooled by their
miserable white leaders, who will event
ualiy bring trouble on tho country.
