year was only about two millions of
dollars. Though we do not mean
to accept the Interpretation of this
exhibit that was given by the bear
operators in gold though we do not
admit that they took all the elc-
mcnts of calculation into account
yet its influence in Wall street indi-
Gates one Of the great forces affect
ing the gold premium and the pub
lie credit. We must keep our COM
mercial exchanges on the safe side.
If our imports are double the value
of our exports, We must make up
the difference by exporting gold or,
(which is practically the same thing)
bonds; and our heavy exports of
coin during past years have been
one of the forces operating to the
injury of our financial condition.
The "stree" understands this very
well, as it has shown a hundred
times over. And not to criticise
here the exhibit used by operators
yesterday, it remains fact that our
commercial exchanges are in better
state at this time than they have
been ut any time since the years be
fore the war. In the single item Of
cotton, we have all advantage in
our exports greater than we ever
had before; and it must tell more
largely in our favor hereafter, than
1t does even at the present time.
The things, however, for which
the Administration deserves the
highest credit in connection viii the
Improvement in our financial cOndi-
ton are such as relate to the carry
ing out of Grants policy of honesty
and retrenchment. When, by his
election, tic country and the world
received assurance that the finan.
cial honor of the government would
be maintaincd-when the policy of
reputation was spurned by the peO
pie, and Congress gave it's pledge to
support II public credit by paying
the principal and interest of the deb;
in gold-the first great steps toward
financial redemption were taken.-
When Grant announced his bric
ond simple policy for rcmedying the
conclusion of our financial state
when he began to carry out practl
cally the programme he had an
nounced-it was evident that WI
were about to take a long stride
toward the settlement of our troub
les. But years experience of thi.
, policy has gone far beyond public
- expectation. TO say that the deb
has been decreased during the frs
, year of his administration n hun
q dred millions of dollars, is to repre-
sent but small part of what ha
actually been achieved. To say tina
during the first half of the Curren
fiscal year the revenues were in
creased, by more fiithful collection
at the rate of thirty millions a yea
over the previous year, does not in
dictate the actual result gained TO
the public treasury. To say tina
| the expenses of government hav
been vastly reduced, and that tn
interest has been decreased by tn
I diminution of the debt, is only t
s give hint of the retrcnchment tina
< has been carried out. But thcs
, things have told with immense cffe
on our financial condition, and it i

Silver Currency begins to show
itself again, partly because it is
dcbascd coinage, and not much
higher in value than grcenbacks,
and partly because the Canadians
want to get rid of it, being at dis
count there. The Canadian govern.
mcnt has proclaimed that, after
April ID, ON silver shall he a legal
tender in Canada only at the rate
of 20 cents for quarter and pcts.
for a half dollar This makes them
worth but 80 per cent, while green
backs now sell in Canada for 80 per
cent in gold. The actu,A value of
our silver, in gold is about % per
cent, SO that there is n fair chance
for our thirty or forty millions of
silver coinage to come back from
Canada and elsewhere and take the
place OF the ''iilthy rags called
fractional currency. This will tend
to bring grcenbacks up to % in gold,
and when that happens, the step to
specie payments is very short one.

Frozen members of the body arc
to be restored 10y the revival OF CIR
culation and vital heat from within.
The application of external heat Is
worse than useless. The blood
maintains it's own temperature with
great equality, no matter What the
surrounding temperature may be,
the range being between 96deg. and
10Odeg. Human beings may there
fore be subjected, without danger
to life, to very great extremes. In
arctic regions a severity of lO2deg.
below zero has been endured, and
on the other side of the thermome-
ter men have entered heat Of $50
deg, and even in one recorded case
40Odeg. and upwards, that is above
the boiling point. The effects Of
cold are to contract the tissues ex-
posed and drive the blood out of
the veins and arteries back up Oh
the internal organs. When Il part
is frozen the blood is gone from it,
and if restoration can be made, it is
only possible by having the circula-
ton return, bringing heat from with
in the tissues thOrugh the flowing
blood. External heat can only
warm, in any case, by preventing a
loss of internal heat through radia>
ton, and possibly stimulating lit
tie the flow of blood. But the best
stimulus is friction, or action in the
parIs. The mlkInan'S device OF
slapping his hands is better than all
fires, and will soon relieve cold fin.
gers. Frozen members, then, are
to be treated with snow, with tric
ton, and warm drinks. Heat ap-
piled, on coming to the fire, will be
very likely to insure the death of
the affected part.
Speaking of the lease OF the Og
dcnsburg railroad by the Vernon,
Central the Boston journal says tina,
by the terms of the contract, which
is for twenty years, the OgdenSbure
receives for the first three yeaas six
per cent. per annum, for the three
succeeding years seven per cent.
and eight per cent. for the remain
ing fourteen years. This effects ;
practical consolidation of the roads
between Lake Champlain and BCs
ton for business purposes. The Bos
ton & Lowell, Concord, Northern
Vermont Central, Vermont an,
Canada, and Ogdensburg and Lake
Champaign, and it is believed to b,
the foundation of permanent pros
perity which the antagonistic iniu
ences of past years has tended t.
prevent. Under one head, manag
ed with a single idea for the benefi
of all, this consolidation Will un
queStonably prove an era in til
railroad successes of Northern NcS
England.
The amount guaranteed to tn
road is to be free of Government

A GOOD deal of curiosity has been felt
as to the effect in the Northern States Of

be watched for results. Some facts are
stated by the Deld,UGre- iGucetbe,- IN re-
latiou to the negro vote in Wilmington, at
the municipal election the..0ther' day,
which are interesting, as showing the eff
feet of this pet scheme of the Radicals
upon white men. In the fourth ward,
ffty-one negroes voted. This ward gave
fifty-seven Democratic majority last year.
Now it returns ninety nine majority. n
the fifth ward, where the negro vote is
slcng, the Radical majority fell from
ninety-five, in 1869, to twenty-nine in
1870. This is a marked change One
hundred negroes voted in the sixth ward,
and yet the Radical majority was. reduced
from sixty-three to thirty-five. The Rad
ical majority in the eighth ward, in 1869,
was sixty-six. With all the negro votes
they only beat the Democrats twenty
eight at the last election. These facts are
significant.

"A cEoRsIALAwRhEAKER.A

Cudjo Eye, the leader of the negro in.
surrectionists in Jefferson county, Ga, is
reported by the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger to have declared that he was
backed by Gov. Bullock in his unlawful
and incendiary conduct. This statement
is corroborated by correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel who
writes from Louisville, the county seat of
Jefferson, under date of Sept. r. This
correspondent says: .s,
Orchard Robertson, Zone of the riot
ers) in his remarks or confession, declared
that Guido Eye, who was the head of all
their clubs, openly stated TO his meeting
that he had seen Gov. Bullock, ard that
he was acting altogether by his orders,
and of course he would protect them in
what they were doing. Robertson further
said had he not believed that he was acting
under the Governors orders that, he never
would have joined or aided in the insur-
rection.n ..-a
This is a very grave charge to prefer
against the Governor of a State, and if it
is without foundation, it should receive
an authoritative contradiction. So far we
have seen nothing of the kind. Here
were number of negroes bandedtogether
to resist the execution of the laws, and
the leader of the mob declares that he
was to be sustained by the Governor of
the State; that he had seen the Governor,
and that functionary had instructed him
how to proceed, These negroes are the
political friends of Gov. Bullock, and
some of them declare that they would
not have Joined the mob had they suspec-
ted Guido Fry, the leader, was not acting
under orders of Gov. Bullock. Now what
does Gov. Bullock do to relieve himself
of this very grave charges charge
which, if true, should consign Bullock to
the Penitentiary for life He has not
deigned to notice it, so far as we have
been able to learn. But the people Of
Georgia should make It so hot for him
that, if innocent, he would be compelled
to relieve himself of the odium of advising
resistance to the laws he had sworn to see
! faithfully executed, even to the taking OF
