WHEN the Radicals tell the people how
much they have paid on the national debt,
they only boast as 10 the amount these Of
ficials have taken from the pockets of the
tax payers by taxation. There is not a
dollar paid on the national debt, or for any
other purpose, by the national adminIstra-
ton, that does not come out of the hard
earnings Of the people-the men who drive
the plow and WELD the sledge. The tax
payers are paying the debt, not the Radical
party. II is not credit to the party in
power that the means for paying the debt
are furnished them. 1t is to the credit of
the people who have, and are enduring a
greater amount of taxation than any other
on earth. The battle for relief from debt
and taxation is being fought by the masses,
and while they are fighting it their Radical
rulers are wantonly and unnecessarily using
up and squandering millions oftheir earnings
for no good purpose, and in the advance
ment of party ends.

WE have had quadrennial message
mild mixture of milk and water-for the
last decade. There was nothing in it and
nothing came of it. The same will be
hereafter as heretofore. The country de-
mands a thorough revolution, not of blood,
but of reason and argument. There never
was time so propitiOns. Everybody is
dissatisfied with the existing state of affairs
and are alarmed for the greater evils i'm
pending. The office-holders and Office
hunters can see nothing but place and plum
der. This revolution must commence
with the people, until it sweeps everything
before it, and there will be no trouble then
TO get these mercenary gentlemen to I'M
derstand the temper Of the public mind.

The correspondent Of the NeaCs says this
statement will be presented to Congress in
the report of the Ku-Klux Investigation
Committee, which is now in preparation in
Washington. Senator Pool and Represent
atives Beck and Stevenson, who have the
work in charge, expect TO have it ready to
lay before Congress Immediately on the re-
assembling Of that body after the holidays.
The report numbers six thousand pages, or
about three million six hundred thousand
words, and is a fearful exhibit of Radical
carpet-bag rascality.
So far as Tennessee is concerned, this ia
bic does not present a fair statement Of
Radical rascality. That party went
out Of power in 1869, but it
left legacy to the people in the shape
Of an onerous increase of the public
debt. Had the committee substituted the
year 1869 for 1870, the working of Radical
rule in this State would have been more
plainly shown. For instance, the valuation
of taxable property In this State in 1863
was S221, $4,000, while it was S252, $50, 674
in 1870, showing an improvement under
Democratic rule of $31, ,S44. But the
most marked contrast between Democratic
and Radical rule is to be found in the de-
creased taxes. For instance, the State tax
alton in 1869 amounted to $l,511, 644, while
in 1870 it was reduced to S505, 437; thus
showing that the amount of taxes paid in
1870 was less than one third of that paid in
1869. While the taxes were thus high
under Radical rule, the indebtedness of the
State went on increasing.

aOTR GOVERNMENT,

Hon. II. Clay Dean has recently made a
very powerful arraignment of the Grant
government. To carry on such a govern
ment upon such a system, he says stand
ing army becomes a necessity to perpetuate
its power, to intimidate the people who can
not be brought TO its support, and keep them
in this condition until they gladly submit to
anything for safety. Then after corupting
every part of the country, declare a standing
army necessary to govern everywhere. The
late murder of Grosvenor by Sheridan's
martial law in Chicago, is but a fOretaste of
what will be committed everywhere, unless
this system is overturned.
Among our fathers in America such a
crime would have startled them and brought
Sheridan to the gallows. In Great Britain
the highest officer of the army would have
committed such crime to be exhibited on
the gibbet at Tyburn, Old Bailey or New

As the offspring of this nefarious system,
we have a venal, low and shameless Presi-
deut, robbing and numbering whole CON-
munitieS, and covering up his crimes by
conciliating the moneyed power. The
worst of the Roman emporers did not do
more.
A legislative body wallowing in pools of
their own abomination.
A Judiciary as clearly purchasable as pea
nuts or oranges at the huckster's stand.
A pulpit that has been corrupted by pres
ents, and rely for their daily bread upon the
wbitewashing and support of these crimi-
mails.
A standing army ready to cut the throats
Of any Of the people who make formidable
array Of opposition to the qsurpation,

HERE is an item for moderate drinkers

HERE is an item for moderate drinkers
and others. The distillers in this country
are now agitating the question of the distil-
lation of spirits from the garbage Of cities
In this new process the garbage is gathered
from the houses of citizens, dumped into
watts, boiled, the grease SKINNED of, and
the pulpy mess fermented and distilled. A
barrel of garbage yields four gallons Of proof
spirits. Any one who in his peregrinations
has encountered one of our city swill carts,
and enjoyed its invigorating odor, must en-
ter upon the consumption of spirits so man
Ufactured with peculiar zest.
