IT is the usual course in legislating
against any abuse to investigate the

The Investigations of this body have

Admirable.


% We hear a great deal said by the
Radical leaders about the admirable
financial system of the country. This
admirable system bleeds the people
annually in taxes to the amount of
$S00,OO0,0O0. In fact a revenue of
$3.50, 100000 annually would fully meet
all requirements for Federal purposes
if the government were economically
administered, and reduce the principle
of the debt $25, ,000,00 year besides.
The interest charge is now about SILL
600, 600, and after this. ear it ought
not to exceed sos, 100000 The charge
for pensions is about $28,000, 600, and,
probably will not be much less for
several years. By reducing the mill
tary establishment to q strictly peace
footing and disbanding the noble ar
my of office-hold lders, the ordinary ex-
penditures might be brought down to
$SO,0OO,O00. The allowance of 1915
per cent. is ample to cover the increased
expenditures on account of imitation
and additional civil service necessary
for the collection of internal revenues.
We have then total of $2l3, 100000
actually required for all purposes and
a revenue of $3.50, 100000 would give
a margin of $37,000,000, to cover con-
tingencies and discharge the principal
of the debt. This g admirable system"
the Radicals do not propose to inter
fere with. To reduce the taxes would
prevent them from growing rich so
rapidly as at present. Hence they

THE Democratic Legislature of
North Carolina has passed a law, call
ing a Convention to make new con-
stifution. The law contains pro-
vision that said Convention shall not
have the power sto modify, repeal, or
do any other act to restrict, impair or
in any way interfere with the rights,
privileges and immunities of any per-
son in the State on account of race,
color or previous condition, which are
now guaranteed to him by the Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution of
the United States, or to propose any
amendment to the Constitution of the
State in any wise irnpairing or re-
stricting said rights, privileges or inn
munities.n
This gives the lie to the absurd
charge of the Radical press, that when
the Democrats get control OF the
Southern States, they viii disfranchise
the colored people, and reduce them
to their former condition.

RE@NoM1NATED.-Th Democrats of
the Judicial District comprising the
counties of Wayne, Holmes and Gosh
octon, held their nominating Conven-
ton at Millersburgh, on the 2Sth ult.,
and renominated Hon. William Reed
the present incumbent, for Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas of that
district. The nomination is a good
one, Judge Reed having discharged
the duties of the high Office faithfully
and acceptably to the people of that
district. Mr.. Z. r. Critchfeld, who
failed to receive the nomination, is
foolishly setting himself up as an in
dependent candidate. The Demoera-
cy should give him no aid in his eff
forts to defeat the candidate who was
fairly nominated by the convention
of the party q 2i4,tat.s3 e

SOME ingenious mathematician has
computed the matter, and has diseov-
cred that our national debt, in dollars,
is nearly equal TO the minutes which
have elapsed since the creation. Here
are his figures: q f7H
g &c For example: There are 60 min
utes in an hour, "a hours in a day and
night, 365 days and nights in a year
each year 525,6OO minutes; multiply
this latter sum by 5000, the period of
the earth's reputed existence, and we
have: & sf 4asi;l lfii 50 stss1

g Add to the latter sum interest on
the public debt, and cost per year of a
profiigate government, and we find
that, for every minute of time, since
the world came fresh from the hand
of God, the United States owes dol
