TWELVE MONTHS OF REPUBLICAN RULE.
One year has just passed away since U. s.
Grant entered upon Office as the representative
of the Republican party. Within that time
ninety millions of the national debt have been
paid off, and fifty MILLIONS are to be taken OF
from our taxes. The Southern States have
been re.admited to Congress, and Mississippi
10 represented by colorcd Senator. Gold has
dropped from thirty per cent premium to fif-
teen, and is slowly moving downwards to par.
The fifteenth amendmet has passed, making
manhood the corner stone of suffrage. Our
national credit is so improved at home and
abroad, that we are about to borrow thousand
millions of dollars at four and a.half and five
per cent. If any one year in our history can
show better record, l should be glad to be
told which it is.

Bill. and after the expiration of the morning
the House goes into Committee of the Whole,
