two weeks before tho election, stated
that the public debt on tho lst OF
March, 1866, was s2, $50, ,763, $50 so.
On tho lst of July last he published in
his monthly statement that the public
debt was then 81, AGA sos, 1851. BY
dcduciing the former from the latter,
it will be found that according to Mr..
Boutwell,, there was II reduction OF
5,95S, ,4s429 during period Of five
years and four months. This is an
average of thirteen millions per year.
To keep the taxes up TO their present
ruinious rate, and pay it off at the
ratio of reduction for the past five
years, it will tako just one hundred

to pay the debt. Last year the gov.

The Lancaster hteliigencer says; A
bad departure and most suicidal one,
il that recommended by tho 81. Louis
Republican, that the Democratic party
should mako no Presidential nomina-
ton for 1872, but leave tho Conserva-
tive Republicans to put up a candi-
date in opposition to the nominee OF
the Radical wing, These, it is said,
were the tactics successfully availed
of TO rescue Missouri from the control
of the same wing of that party. II is
now stated that the article favoring
this policy was written by Carl
Schurz, which, however, Is very
doubtful. The Republican, although
it has ably and vigorously opposed
the Grant administration, and to a
great extent, furthercd the claims OF
Democratic candidates, and advocat.
ed Democratic measures, has always
professed to stand aloof from party
alliances, and has been decidedly in
the interest Of Gov. Brown and Car
Schurz. Much as Democrats esteem
its able assistance in overthrowing
Radicaism in Missouri, they are moi
disposed to accept advice thus gratu
itously and untimely given.

makes severe hit, and he winds up
thus: "Thievcs and money changers,

fused to sign the certificate of Mr.
Fosters election. Tho result was that
through the manipulation of John
Cessna, and other Radical triekstcrs
n contest was entered into and Covode
fraudulently obtained his seat. Now,
however, when all the return judges
of the Cumberland and Franklin Sen.
atorial District refuse TO grant Mr.
Weakley his certificate on the ground
of gross corruption and fraud, attcstcd
to by the sworn testimony Of we'll
known and responsible parties, a ter
rible howl is at once raised, and the
Supreme Court is to be appealed to.
We guess nobody on this side Of tho
house will scare very badly over this
noise, while it is quito possible that
the frauds porpetrated in that district
will be fully ventilated.

ANOTHER SENATORIAL SENSATION

The refusal of the Return Judges tc

in Radical circles. Just as though
these very same sensationists had
never done the like themselves, with
less than halt the grounds in the case
in question.
The death of Mr.. Connoll leaves the
State Senate tie; and Weakley

A DEAR VICToRY.-Tho negroes OF
Pennsylvania carried the State at the
late election, and great is the rejoicing
among the white Radicals. Cheap
patriotism, we should say, when the
once proud Caucasian must thank the
lazy, barbarous African for his tri
umph. The alliance is too unnatural
to last long The two races, as such,
never did nor never will live in har-
mony as equals, socially or politically,
however much debauched individuals
of both races may desire IL. All the
bayoncts at tho command Of our
drunken President cannot force or
bring about the unnatural and ungodly
alliance now attempted on this CONT
ncnt. The African negro, like tho
Indian, must leave or be placed on n
plane of extinction, if he, with bis
white knave, persists in equality. If
the negro persists in committing sui
eide he may be allowed to complete
his work.

TnE AMATEUR DEsPoT. There is moth.
ing that Grant takes with more avidi.
ty than a hint in his own interest
unless it be present from an office
seeker. Pennsylvania and Ohio went
Republican, aud the President at once
felt emboldened TO string up the lib.
erty of South Carolina by the thumbs.
For every State that goes Republican
another State will go into the shackles,
Law loving Republicans cannot deny
the fact that every vote they give in
differently for their old party, is wei
coined as warrant for tho strangula.
tion of freedom elsewhere. Their
claim to disapprove of the arbitrary
acts Of tho administration is untcnable
so long as they vote for the party that

But, in II political sense, we can in

friends not only repudiated the 9th
