The Public Deb, statement.

Mr.. Boutwell's May exhibit of the public
debt is more gratifying one than that for the
previous month. The reduction of the debt
for the last month was $ll ,697, 793. The coin
balance in the Treasury is $ll5, 1926, 900, in
cluding $33, $4,000 in coin certificates.
There are two facts worthy OF particular
notice in this brief statement One is that
there is continued reduction of the debt
from month to month, and that as time ad-
vances and the country settles down to a
normal condition the greater the reduction
within given period. Another is that not
withstanding the quarterly payments of the
Treasury in April the coin balance on hand is
enormous Near twelve millions of the debt
paid in one month is something to talk about
and to make the people of this country and
our creditors abroad feel assured that our
debt can be liquidated without much difficulty.
1t shows the enormous wealth and resources
of the country. Then hundred and fifteen
millions of gold in the Treasury ought to
satisfy any one that specie payment is not de-
ferred for the want of coin. This is almost as
much specie as the Bank of England has in its
vaults to represent the circulation of England.
Secretary Boutwell, has given notice that he
will sell again million of gold week; and
were he to sell two millions or more week
the Treasury would still be full Such is the
enormous income from the growth and increas-
ing business of the country. Still much re-
mains to be done to relieve the country of
the burden Of taxation. The taxes ought to
aud can be greatly reduced, and still, with
economy, large surplus would remain for
the extinguishment of the debt

Versailles, Dec. 90. Another great sortit
was attempted from Paris yesterday after
noon.
Three divisions of French troops issued
from this city and commenced vigorous and
well directed attack upon the Prussian lines
which gradually fell back before them. Sew

forwarded to reinforce the advance lines, and
the French troops were forced back from the
position they had joined, and were finally re-
pulsed, and compelled to withdraw within the

London, Dec. 90. Dispatches from Yer

ace, small market of France, in the depart
ment of Indirect Sene, about miles northeast
of Tours on Tuesday.
The French strength was about six thous-
and, consisting chiefly Of mobiles, They had
also artillery and cavalry.
On the field the mobiles were attacked by
force of Prussians, but were speedily re-
sisted by cavalry and artillery, which they
brought to bear upon the enemy. After a
brief engagement the French were compelled
to abandon their position and leave the field
to the Prussians.
The PrussIan forces then entered Mounace,
and took possession of the town.
Dispatches through French sources say
that Gen. Bourbaki in command of 10000

Thomas Wadsworth, Esq, of this city, res
Gently deceased, was one of the charter men,
bers of Franklin Division Sons of Temperance
in this city,. At a meeting of the Division on
Thursday evening, the following notice was
taken of his death.
We are again admonished of the transitory
nature of all earthly things, and the certainty
of death, by the recent decease Of Bro. Thomas
Wadsworth, one of the original charter men,
bers of this Division, and one on whom we al
ways leaned for counsel and encouragement
under all circumstances in the history of the
Division which we have been called to en-
counter. Firm in his convictions of right,
gentle in his enforcement of them; always at
his post Of duty, we shall miss him from our
eounsels, and the general cause of temperance
loses one of its truest and most tried triends.
We therefore mingle our tears and sorrows
with the immediate family of our deceased
Brother, believing that although we shall have
him no more with us personally, he has left
behind rich legacy in his life and character
which will be ours to copy through all our re-
naming days on earth.
In memory of his noble life and christian
character it is hereby ordered that the charter
Of this Division be clothed in mourning for
six months.
A copy Of this to be furnished to his family,
and published in the city papers.

ketallatory Surprise.

Last evening, one of those surprising affairs
which have become quite frequent in this
com .unity, took place at the house of Rev.
C. r. Moor. Invited to tea in the evening by
one of his Pensioners, he was summoned
home to find his house, which he had left
carefully locked, in the possession of a party
which filled the rooms and blocked the en-
trance, as he opened the door. Making his
way with Mrs. Moor through the crowd which
roared with laughter, and clapped furiously at
the success Of their strategem and the puz-
zled appearance Of their victims, the pastor
and his wife were escorted to and seated in a
couple of splendid chairs, when the following
bill of indictment and accompanying remarks
we're read by John II. Hartford, Esq, the
same gentleman who was recently caned in a
similar manner at the same place. Mr.. Hart
ford said:
Brother Moor and Wife:
If this is a surprise to you, as We intended
it should be, the most natural question to sug-
gest itself to your mind 10, "Why this gath
sring and what is its purposes To answer
this, it will be necessary for me to call up to
your mind some things in your history since
you have been our pastor. which will perhaps
furnish the solution.
Retaliation is a law of the human mind or
else it is an almost irresistible impulse Of the
human heart. When an act of any kind is
done towards us, the first impulse we feel is
to return it in kind. If the act was bad and
intended for our injury, we invariably feel as
though we would like to return in kind and
with interest, and if we do not do so, it is be-
- S,trA kNll IS
feelings and judgment as to lead us to return
good for evil and so it is when any one does
us a good turn, the same law impels us to re-
turn good to them. This is called retala-
ton, and so long as it is confined to doing
good acts or in overcoming evil with good,
it is all right, and in perfect harmony with
the Christian Law.
1t is then of the greatest Importance that
our acts towards all with whom We have to
do should square with the Golden rule "to do
unto others, as we would have them. do to
u.s." The people of the parish who are so
we'll represented here this evening, have
thought that in this case this rule of action
may be safely varied, to the more common
one, of doing to others as they do to you.
BY reference to your connection with SINH
lar gatherings of this parish we arrived at the
conclusion that what was right for the pastor
10 do, was also right for the people. On
Tuesday evening, Nov II, 1867. at a
meeting gathered at the house of Bro. Chas.
Milliken, our esteemed friend, Charlie b.
Johnson, was called up by you and presented

President Grant was informed of the result
in the Senate on the St. Domingo resolution
the next morning, before he had left his bed,
by card left by Vice President Cofax.
Many of the Senators and Representatives
subsequently called to congratulate him, and
he remarked to several of them, in substance,
that he had given the anne xation project care
full consideration, and that it appeared to him
so wise and prudent that he believed that it
would gain strength as the facts became
known.
On Thursday, after continuing the debate
on the San Domingo resolutions until seven
o'clock in the morning, the Senate passed
Senator Morton's resolution by vote of 81
to 8, and then adjourned. During the execu-
