The New York zfz6zszs cannot un-
derstand why Congress does not pass a
funding bill. It says: Ours is not at all
the case of nation seeking to plunge
deeper into debt. We do not want to
put one additional dollar Of debt on the
market; on the contrary, We mean to
persist in reducing, month by month, the
volume of our Indebtedness; and we
ought to be able to borrow at a much
lower rate than a nation like France,
which is steadily increasing her debt,
even in time of peace-and yet France
could borrow millions on millions to-
morrow at FIVE per cent.
The Secretary of the Treasury, whose
integrity no man questions, and who is
fully sustained herein by the President,
asks Congress to Ket him Try to fund the
/ Debt, or the bulk OF it, at a lower rate
of interest, as was contemplated by the
] laws which authorized its creation. He
is confident of his ability to make large
reduction in the annual burden of the
Debt, If Congress will simply let him
/ try. Able bankers and hnanciers
throughout our country and the civilized
world share his conviction.
Can you imagine any reason why a
Congress, professedly friendly to the
Administration andto its Minister Of
Finance, should refuse him the perInis-
sion he asks to make this attempt? Can
you conceive a reason creditable to the
Republican member Of Congress who
votes or illnesses to refuse him such au-
thority?

SENATOR sHERmkN On RLEC-


In reply to some of Senator Thur
man 5 remarks on the bill to prevent
election frauds and enforce the XNth
amendment VT Sherman said:
NY colleague alludes to the fact that
live IN a Democratic region but let me
saw to my colleague that IN Richland
county, where I i've. and where / know
the people well, many of whom are my
friends. there could not be found a Dem
ocratic Jury of twelve who would NOT
convict these scoundrels under the law
Of the State or nation for the crimes that
are pointed out IN the nineteenth and
twentieth sections of this bill. This
amendment of mine is aimed at the re
peaters, tie open violatOrs OF the law IN
the city of New York. who make the
election franchise farce and a fraud ;
and I say the Democrats of Richland
county win not thank my colleague for
assocfating them with those Democratic
repeaters Of the city of New York. al
though my friend from Kentucky seems
to be willing to take the association.
Sir, there IS IN the city of New York a
degree of corruption in the elective fran
chise that exists nowhere else in the wide
world. and this Government of ours will.
in my judgement, be overthrown by this
corruption unless VIC can prevent It by
legal penalties. The object Of my amend
ment simply was to prevent election
+ frauds by legal penalties and say. SC
+ far as the Democrats Of Ohio are con
cerned, there are few of them who would
not send to the penitentiary any mar
/ guilty of the crimes referred to in the
nineteenth and twentieth sections of thi.
BILL The only objection that is made
and there is where the shoe pinches-
IS that the bill tranfers the punishment
Of these crimes from the STATE Courts o
the city Of New York to the UniteC
States Courts. Who would think of in
dieting anybody for an election fraud il
. I a State Court in the city of New York
. Why, sir, the judges themselves ar
elected by these very rePeaters tn
Judges themselves are the instrument
of the very men who are sought to b
punished by these two sections.
In my my judgement the amend
ment that proposed viii be sustaine'
by the sentiment of the good men Of tn
Democratic party of Ohio. | am sur
I if were to 60 before 81. Democrat
. where I live and read them the sections
they would agree that the man who vic
lated these sections ought to be sent

Matthew Gooding, Esq, will be a can
didate before the Republican Conven-
ton as State Comptroller. Mr.. Gooding
has been one Of the principal clerks in
the Office from the time 1t was organized
in July. So. until September 90.
The receipts of internal revenue fol
the present month largely exceed the
estimates Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, and but for the heavy payment o
war pensions incident to the closing
of the fiscal year there would be large
reduction of the public debt this month
than any previous month since the ad
vent Of the present administration.

Dom Piatt has achieved great no
toriety as a newspaper correspondent.
His capital stock is abuse and vulgarity,
and in these his investments have been
large and productive. He has struck a
chord which pays and this IS his main
object. The more bitterly personal he
can write the more is he read, the harsh
er the terms he inYents. the greater his
fame, We read him not for profit or in
struction, but as a sort of literary curios=
ity, to see to what depths a man of brains
will descend for hire. No one in these
times believes Dom Piatt. Itwould be
libel on truth to produce a statement
given by I'D. P. as fact. In fact. OF
late he has turned his entire labors into
the channel which God and nature
marked out for him, that Of vilifying his

The revenue collected during the
year ending April 80. 1870. exceeds the
collections ofthe previous year by $780,

Some temperance zealots in Ohio are
bowling for more effective prohibitory
legislation. They ought to know that if
the laws already on the statute book
were enforced, the retail sale of intoxica-
ting9drinks would be borne away. The
laws forbid selling liquors on Sunday
and election days, their sale to minors
or persons who are habitually intoxica-
ted, or their sale in any quantity to be
drank-in or about the premises, or with
in four miles of a camp or other reli-
gious meeting. Tippling houses may be
declared nuisances and closed up. Per-
sons may be fined five dollars for intox-
ication, and families deprived or support
by the sale of Intoxicating liquors to the
husband, may recover damages of the
seller, and compel him 10 pay for the
service needed totake care ofthe person
so intoxicated. Dead lettersr lit is said.
But why deads 1t is not the fault of the
lawmakers, or the laws they made, but
because there Is lack of public disposi-
ton to enforce thcm.- Cincinnati Com

opinions, and one Of those of whom it
is a pleasure to think as an honest and
inooTruptible man. with a sincere desire,
however much mistaken he may be on

Since the acquittal and glorifcation Of
Mcfarland for the murder of Richard
son, there has been an epidemic Of in
sane murders on pretense Of excitement
by marital troubles. In number Of
cases, men have killed their wives. This
would seem to be the most direct opera
ton of such insanity or vengeance. IN
others they have suspected and have
fully proved their injury by killing men.
A hanging for this killing insanity would
put stop to this epidemic.
