election of Gen. Grant to the
Dasfdency of the United States, the Re-
rnblican psrty pledged itself and the Ad-
Irninistration to policy of economy and
retrepchment. It promised that the Ma.
tional debt should be diminished; that
the revenues should be collected more
honestly; that the expenditures should
be confined within the limits Ell the abso-
Lutte necessities of the Government; that
our credit at home and abroad should be
improved; that taxes should be lightened,
and that as result of this policy, the Ma
ton would experience steady, healthy
reign of material prosperity. How lar
these pledges have been carried out, can
best be learned from consulting the OH :
cial statistics of President Grants admin
istration thus far, and comparing them
with those of Johnson's administration.
Beginning with the public debt, we find
that it was as follows ON the dates given:

From this is to be deducted $355731 10
the estimated dimirution of the debt for
the first four days of March, 1859. The
debt has, therefore, in round numbers
been diminished by nearly one hundred

MISUNDERSTANDING the much
vaunted Radical victory in the last Miss
issippi election, which was scholly dMe to
tie negro rote, the negroes and their hopes
have been ground between the upper and
neither millstones of the carpet baggers
and scalawags. The Philadelphia Age
notes the fact that "every attempt made
in the Legislature to guarantee equal &C
commodations to blacks and whites, in
schools, hotels and railroads, has failed.
The black man cannot vote on both sides
of oil questions, and for all white men
who want Office, and hence they are push
ed aside when claiming the promised re-
ward. They have not received the forty
acres Of land, the mule is not forthcoming,
nor are they invested with all the rights
of white men. These facts are beginning
TO make an impression upon the negroes,
and they threaten to abandon the radicals
en- masse, and throw the State into other
hands. This is but the beginning of the
contest between the radicals and and their
colored allies. When the allied armies
entered Paris in 1915, Butcher determined
to blow up the Point d'Jena, because it
commemorated the downfall of the Prus-
sian Kingdom. The colored race in this
country will yet wish to visit their ven
geance upon the XVIII Amendment, on &C
count of its demoralizing effect upon the
negro inhabitants of the United States"

The capture, by q squad of Canadian
militiamen, Of a Fenian gun on the Amer
lean side Of the boundary line, is expected
to raise a momentous international i'm
broglio, which will tax the best powers of
British American diplomatic representa-
tlves. The gun, it is asserted, was sta
toned on our side Of the line. Here is
the foundation upon which Minister Mot
ley will be expected to address note to
the British Secretary for foreign affairs,
demanding satisfaction. The British
secretary, after due consideration, will re-
ply at length. suggesting that the matter
is involved in grave and serious doubts as
to whether the gun was stationed six feet
or six inches from the line, and for the ad.
justment Of these doubts the controversy
will be referred to Washington. Minister
Thornton will take it up and will suggest,
with assurances of high consideration,
that, granting the possibility that the gun
may have been stationed few inches, or
few feet within the American side of the
line, the contents Of the gun certainly
made their appearance on the other side.
This will raise q new question rs to the
relation, in an international point of view,
between tho gun and the powder, shot, or
other substance which left the gun and
crossed the line into Canada. At this
point the diplomatic correspondence will
begin to be vo!uminous, and the contro-
versy will begin to assume portentious
aspect. Candidates for Congress will turn
it to advantage in their electiopeering
speeches. The possibility Of war with
England will be used TO advance the price
Of breadstuffs. Gold will be expected to
advance, and British spectators will op-
crate for decline in consols. American
securities will decline, and confidence will
be shaken in in oil the great financial
centres of Europe. All about q Fenian
gun which though placed on our side of
the line, shot its missiles at Canadians on
the other side.
It is very possible, indeed, that nothing
of the sort will transpire; but it will not
be the fault Of small demagogucs.-
Each.

Death Of Charles b. Rich.

DCWtu VI SuuIxCS HE hlCus
Another well-known and esteemed for
mer citizen of Batavia is dead. CHARLES
B. Rich, so long citizen of Batavia, and
for some years resident of Akron, Erie
county, died on Monday evening. From
all we can learn of this melancholy &C.
currence, the circumstances connected
with his death are these: On the evening
Of his death, after tea he went to fulfill q
a business engagement mile or two from
his residence, riding in q sulky. On his
return, when part way home, he passed q
friend who was himself driving a team !;
and what seemed singular to the latter, he
passed without noticing him. The horse
seemed to 60 as he pleased, instead of be-
ing guided BY Mr.. Rich. As soon as he
passed, the neighber saw that be did not
sit steadily in his sulky, but that his head
and shoulders were swaying right and left.
The horse in the meantime came nearly to
stand-s:ill when Immediately Mr.. Rich
pitched forward cut of the sulky, striking
upon his forehead, inflicting bad wound.
The friend at once raised his head from
the ground, when he breathed once or
twice, and died. Death was not caused
by the fall, it is supposed, but from fit
Of Epilepsy, to which he had before been
subject. His age was 81 years and 10
months.
Mr.. Rich was man known and below
ed by all of CUR citizens, especially our
earlier residents. He probably never had
an enemy in the world. Free and easy in
his manners kind hearted and genial, he
won the regard Of all with whom he came
in contact. He was the most popular In
dian agent we ever had, having held that
Office for many years, to the satisfaction OF
the Indians and the Government. He
represented one OF tho Districts of Erie
County in the Assembly, in 1869.

DIED.-Near Clayton City, on the
18th inst, of Consumption, AUGUSTUS
BEAURETTE, aged 80 years.
The deceased was one of those to
whom but to know is to be a friend.
During an acquaintance of fifteen
years we have never known one to ex-
press towards him any feeling than that
Of friendship. When the Nation was
in peril and called for aid he was among
the first to rush to the rescue, serving
his time honorably and faithfully, brav-
ing the dangers and enduring hard
ships with heroism which, if compar-
ed, would dim the lustre of others less
modest and assuming. And where
the seeds of that terrible disease were
implanted which cut him off in the
vigor of manhood and took him forever
from among us. Yet the remembrance IF
his kind and generous heart will live
long In the minds of all who knew
him. G..

by which are inealculable. Over one

concluded to try their mettle once more in
the prize-ring. The champions met Sat-
urday afternoon at Ceyne's saloon, on
Third street, near the Post Office, for the
purpose of coming to q definite under
standing about the matter. An immense
crowd Of .bruisers and loafers rushed into
the room, and 81 blocked it up that Mr..
Coyne found it necessary to peremptorily
order them out. The crowd being dis
persed, the pugilists, with few friends,
sat down at table, and in few minutes
agreed upon the arrangements for q mill.
Each man put up $500, and the following
articles OF agreement were signed:

the best man now in England, except, per
haps, his (Allen's) brother. The party
took glass Of ale together. and separa-
ted on friendly terms. The only difficulty
about coming 70 On agreement was in re-
gard to the time-Allsn urging an earlier

John Milton.
Young readers are informed that Mil
ton was the author of Paradise Lost"
one of the most celebrated works in
British classical lore. He was also the
author of Paradise Regained." The
first work was so excellent, so thrilling,
SO profoundly imaginative, that the
tameness of the second was not very
highly regarded by critics. The Devil
and Michael were actors in the filst;
hell was let loose in full force. In the
last, mercy, forgiveness, penitence and
the gentler feelings prevailed. Sensa-
tionalism 'stook," then as now, and
hence the "Regained" is scarcely men,
toned. Both are out Of print and can
be found only in public libraries or old
private collections of gentlemen or la
dies Of the past. Much of the preach
ing q the present day is based upon
Millions differences from Bible history
rather than from the history itself. The
poet was blind his daughters acted as
amanuenses or writer's for him. His
family was very poor, as were many of
the most eminent writer's of his time.
At his death, the widow was compelled
to sell the great production of her hus-
