Something to be Proud of.

On the 18th instant at Terre Haute, In
diana, Senator Morton delivered one of his
powerful speeches, the most Of which was
devoted to general issues. Touching the
subject of honesty and economy in the ad
ministration of the government, the Senator
said:
Now the question may present itself to
your mind, how is it Il at We have been able
to repeal eighty millions OF taxes2 Why
was not that done before? You have had
a Republican Congress all the time; why
could you not do it before? | will tell you.
We have had a Republican Congress, but
not a Republican Administration until the
last sixteen months. The las. three and a
half years of President Johnson's Admins
tration was as thoroughly Democratic as
was that of James Buchanan or Franklin
Pierce. | want to tell you how we are able
at this time to repeal eighty millions oc TAX
es, AID still have surplus coming into the
Treasury.
First, by economy-by reducing the ex-
penses of the Government, and we reduced
them, as compared with President johnson S
Administration, over fifty millions of dol
lars. They have been curtaied here, and
in the other place, and the expenses of the
government have been greatly reduced
Then We have gained a large amount in an
other way-by the honest collection of the
revenue. wish to show you a statement
L obtained from the Secretary of the Treas
ury only three or four days ago saw Mr.
Boutwell, the day | started from Washing
ington, and asked him to send me a state
ment over his own signature as to the
amount of the gain by the honest collection
of the revenue since General Grant came
into power. Here it is, and | shall read it
to you
"TREAsvsY DEPARTMENT. Washington d. c.
.JRly 5, i870.-Hsn. O. p. Morton: In reply 20
your verbal inquiry, have the honor TO state
mat there has been an increase of thirty two mil
lions six hundred and seventy five tn ousand dol
iaas IN the internal revenue receipts during the
first sixteen months of President Grants admin
lstrauon rs compared with the last sixteen
months oil PRESIDENT Johnson's administration -
There you have it. On the same rate of
taxatIon-even with less, because under
johnson administration the tax on whisky
was two dollars per gallon, while it i. now
fifty cents per gallon, we have an increase
OF more than thlrty-two millions in the re-
ceipt, of internal revenue in sixteen months.
Mr.. Boutwell, goe. on:
"And increase of min eteen millions fonr
hundred and sixty thousand nine hundred and
ffty-thrse dollars in customs duties for the samo
period, ald upon the same comparison, making
an aggregate of fifty -one millions four hundred
and eight thousand six hundred and ninety dol

Just resulting from an honest admini.tra-
ton When you add to this what we have
gained in the way of economy by reducing
the expenditures. you will understand how
we are able to reduce taxation eighty mil

Morton we may add that, during the sixteen

An exchange says: The French people
are tickled with straw The permission
TO sing the Marseillaise hymn has greatly
pleased them, ana the soulinspiring com
position is sung everywhere. This song, by
the way, has somewhat remarkable history.
1t was composed in 1892, by Rorget de Isle
a French officer stationed at Strasburg. 1t
was the enlisting song of the army and
thousands we're charmed into enrolling their
names with the corps of the Rhine. 1t
spread like wildfre all through France, and
was universally sung and played. In all the
French revolutionary movements it was
sung, and in itself became so revolutionary
that Its singing was forbidden by the pres
ent Emperor. It's great popularity now in
France i. full evidence that it will never
die, and it is also evidence that there is a
lingering republican feeling yet in the hearts
of the French people.

The Attorney General, through circular
to the United States district attorneys.
marshals, and commissioners, Is calling their
attention to the act passed by Congress at
It's last session for the enforcement of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The
ninth section of this act makes it the .pe-
clal duty of those officials to institute pro-
ceedings against all yiostors of the act.
They will, therefore, whenever they receive
credible information from any source that the
law has been violated, take prompt meas
ures for the arrest and effcctual prosecution
of the guilty party. This action of the
Attorney General in calling attention to this
law, now that the fall elections are approach
ing, is especially important.

The Press says: One result of the extra
ordinary newspaper discussion upon the
merits of the great controversy now rapidly
approaching a conflict of arms, will te TO
show to the German population of the United
States the exact difference between the
Democratic and Republican parties. There
are many Democrats who sympathize with
Prussia, and some Republican. who sympa-
thize with France, but the vast maioritv Of
the two great political organizations ,re
separated as distinctly on thi. question as
they were in regard to the recent rebeIl;on
Many causes have operated to produce tn.
state of things, but the main element in
deciding the Republican sympathy is the
vast influence of our German population.
Several of the old States of the North were
first settled by Germans, while every new
State is more or less controlled by enigrants
from the ''Fanderland. This is enlinently
SO OF the West Equally decisive of Demo.
cratic sympathy i. the unity of the Irish
population, now solidifed for France, in
supporting the Democratic party. The Ger
mans are far more intensely for their cause
than the Irish, because it is their native
country that is in arms, and for thar very
reason they will the more keenly rememb.r
their friends and their enemies in this com.
pllca,ion.

The French Prussian War.

The special correspondent of The Tribune
under date of 9th writes from Frankfort
that all civilians in Berlin are obliged to de-
eide either to leave on Saturday or to remain
till further orders for a fortnight at least
after Saturday. Allrailway transportation,
except that for military purposes, reached
Frankfort with the greatest difficulty, thirty
six hours being required instead OF eleven.
The whole country i. occupied with war pre-
parations.
In iourneying by the military train, our
correspondent found the Polish soldiers con-
spicuous by their patriotic manifestations
and vehement hatred of the French. The
people of Posen are thoroughly Prussian.
Only the landed proprietors and priests are
hostile No outbreak is possible in Polish
Prussia without the concurrence of Russian
and Austrian Poles. France need hope for
no assistance thence. Everywhere on the
road was ardor shown and soldiers were
cheered and feted.
The beginning of strategic movements is
at hand. The German programme Is not
inaction nor mere expectation. The army
will speedily assume the offensive. A great
battle is imminent on French soil. Two
thousand men have been continuously
strengthening the Notifications of Mayence
since war was declared. These Notifications
were incapable OF resisting a sudden attack
a fortnight ago, but now they could stand
long siege, and may serve as a base for Of
fensivc operations. The report that the
King OF Prussia would make Frankfort his
headquarters seem. improbable.
: The special correspondent of the Tribune
in Berlin writes on the 9th that volunteer
naval service is organizing to protect coast
vessels, and the men are enrolled in the
Federal navy. Premiums are offered for de-
stroying French war vessels.
The special correspondent of the Tribune at
Brussels writes ON the 2Sth that the citadel
of Client is arming. The Belgian army is
again in motion. The Liberal party has
published an address, declaring that the
present Cabinet is incapable, and must be
replaced by another sympathizing with the
popular resolution to preserve independence
The special correspondent of the Tribune
at Munich writes on the Goth that the town
is full of Prussian soldiers. There are en-
thusiastic demonstrations. All the houses
are lodgings for troops
