~ United States securities have
increased about II per cent. in
value since the advent of General
Grants administration. This shows
what the opinion of the commercial
world is in regard to the capacity and
honesty of that administration
Democratic demagogues may not
like the situation-may still COM
plain, and cry extravaganza and cor
ruption-but men uninfuenced by
party considerations, know better
than to believe such stuff-know
that the resources of the govern
ment are being honestly handled,
and hence bid higher for its securi-
ties.

MARK HM.-The Ironton Register

Leete, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, made reputation speeches
in this county. 1t was matter of
general talk and accepted fact, that
Leete was against paying the Ma
tional debt.

@ Gen. VIM. T. Wilson, on the
Republican State Ticket for Comp
troller of the Treasury, served sew
eral months in the rebel Libby
Prison, with Lieut. II. L. Sibley, for
merly of this county, and now of Ra-
cine, Meigs county. He was then
Colonel of the 123d Ohio, and Sibley
Lieutenant in the 116th. Both were
taken prisoners in the Shenandoah
Valley, when Lee swept into Penn
sylvania, just before the battle of
Gettysburg. Wilson was held in
death destructive captivity eleven
months. and Sibley, eighteen months.
Gen. Wilson deserves every vote
that the Republicans can possibly
give him. We have known him per
sonally for several years.-Marietta

R The Democrats rail out againsI

~ The Democrats rail out against
our candidate for Congress. Hon. j. T.
Wilson, because, say they, he is a
stockholder in one of those rascally in
stitutions, National Banks. And then
they turn square around, and nominate
themselves a stockholder in one of
these same thieving institutions, as
they call them. Mr.. Leete is not only
a stockholder, but has been, and is
now, probably, a Director. AS we
have often said before, prove them by
their works, and not by their words.
They are a sweet set, certainly.

DEMOCRATIC eEcoNoMY."-The re-
suits of democratic extravaganza
are apparent in the largely increas-
ed debts of the States over which
they retain control. According to
the Louisville Commercial, when
the Democratic party came into
power in Kentucky they found a
surplus in the treasury of twenty
five thousand dollars. They have
been in power four years, and there
is deficiency in the State Treasury
Of over million of dollars, and
their own auditor says that the gov
ernment cannot be carried on with

Mr.. WILSON, always votes against

N Whether at Long Branch. or
Washington, Gen. Grant still has an
eye and head for business, as is evil
denced by the monthly statement of
the public debt, issued on the first
inst. The statement shows a de-
crease in the net debt during the
month of August, of sl3 ,403, ,326.-
The reduction since March l, 1870,
(six months, is s82, ,4O7, 1927. Dur
ing the corresponding six months
last year the reduction was S49, $780,
75S. Since the present administra
ton came into power, say March 1,
1869, the debt has been drawn down
from s2,525, ,463, ,260 to 50, ,355,92l,-
$50, showing total reduction of
S169, ,542, 10, sum on which the
annual interest amounts to over ten
millions of dollars. This rapid
liouidation of a public debt is some
thing unprecedented in the history
of nations, and will challenge the
attention of the European Govern
ments.
Let the Democrats howl-they can
deceive or alarm no one, so long as
we have such facts as these to prove
the honesty and efficiency of the ad-
ministration. Debt decreasing and
price of bonds advancing! That
speaks in thunder tones of able and
honest management. Democrats may
mount the stump-swing their arms,
shake their locks, and talk so loud
as to almost drown the roar of the
lion, but they cannot drown the
voice of such facts as the above.

~ 1t is a startling fact, that the
Democrats, in all of their political
discussions, never have a word to
say in defence of the party for the
past ten or fifteen years. Why is
this? Simply that it is indefensi-
bic. Now, if the course of party
has been so bad in the past that its
friends dare not defend it, how can
you trust it in the future? Think
of this.

THURMAN, o., Sept. 5th, 1870.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-At the Teachers
Institute, held last week, it was an
nounced that in the future applicants
for teachers certificates would be ex-
amined, in the department of "theory
and practice" upon matter contained in
the "Ohio Educational Monthly" that
it would not answer to be reader of
any other educational paper, however
goodit may be; that if one were taking
another paper and not the Monthly"
he must at least borrow and read the
Monthly" before applying for a GER
tifcate, if he expected to be able to
pass examination creditably.
Now do not say that the Monthly"
is not all that it claims to be, but l fail
to see why one cannot gain an adequate
knowledge of the theory and practice
of teaching from some other source be-
sides the aforesaid Journal, or why a
set of questions or theme for an essay
can not be given that would test the
ability of the applicant, without bear
ing directly on what is contained in
single Journal. Under such policy
the applicant, however well qualified he
may be, will pass poor examination,
simply because what be says has not
got the ring of the Monthly" in it;
while, on the contrary, one who per-
chance may not have sense enough to
put in practice what he reads, will be
given high grade, if be write down a
few paragraphs taken from the
Monthly" The "Monthly" is a
good paper, and every teacher in the
county should take it or some other ed
ucational journal, but protest against
sworn officers "cliqueing" for the pur
pose of furthering the interests of any
paper. RAcc9oN.
