Meantime the credit of the Government has
everywhere advanced, and nice calculations
show that our borrowing power is now
enhanced 10 per cent, as compared with what
it was at the close of JohnsOn's Administra-
ton. Other reductions appear in the fnarcial
management of our excellent Postal service,
in which department an annual saving of at
least 100000 has been Effected. And the re-
duction Of taxation is equal to $25i ,s4S,S27
per annum. These figures, and other
telling points brought out in the review
are full Of encouragement to those
who wish we'll of the Republic. 1t
is matter for congatulation with all
members of the great Republican party that
its administration Of the financial affairs of
the Nation can safely challenge scrutiny.

English politicians have followed the weak
example of tho Prince of Wales and are airing
royal grievances. Mr.. Barttelot Tory Member
from Sussex. has said in the House of Com
mons that he is glad that Prince Arthur had
got his $4,000 q year, but, really, he does
wish the Queen would come out Of her seclu-
sion little more. In other words he is
willing to pay for royalty, but he wants to see
something for his money once in way. But
the Premier actually went on to deny that the
Queen is unpopular, though he, too, thought
Her Majesty somewhat exclusive in her man
ner of life. What is the world coming to
when it is found noodful to defend the useless
ness of Princes and argue about the personal

Are we ever to have a frank and straightfor
ward explanation of the conduct of the Mayor
and the Governor in relation TO the Orange riots
Gen. McQuade still withholds an answer to
the plain question we asked him about the
understanding between Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Hofi

been guilty of stupid little trick towards the

his action was influenced by letter which

1t is finally announced that M. do kemusat
has been appointed successor to NJ Jules
Favre as Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
Cabinet of President Theirs. As Fayro went
out in consequence of being offended at the
apparently ultramontane action of the Assem-

pathetic story comes to us from the far
off Western border of the Republic. The
Chief of the SaDtee Sioux, Standing Buffalo,"
had sworn to keep peace with the whites, but
his braves wanted to go to war with the Gros
yentres, which he had also promised not to
90. Taunted with being a friend of the
whites, he rushed into battle and was Killed.

REPUBLICBY FLNANCIIL N1NAGEMENT
The review of the management of the Ma
tiona Finances which we publish to-day, is
admirably designed to inspire with pride and
qualification every patriotic citizen of
the Republic. 1t is noble exemph-
fcation of the resources of the country,
as we'll as an eloquent testimonial to the
general ability with which the great financial
system of the nation has been handled.
Friends of the Republican Administration of
the Government may well be proud of such an
exhibit, showing, as it does, q great reduction
III the National Debt, year by year, as well as
IA gradual amclioratiOn in the burdens of taxation
which the long aud costly war Of che Slave
hoIde,s' Rebellion imposed upon the people.
We should have been glad to have
seen more vgor infused into some de-
tails of the management OF the Treasury,
and especially more decisive measures
looking toward a speedy return of
specie payments. Such return was long ago
possible, and though it may be claimed that
the worst is over, we must regret the pro-
longed existence OF our present system OF
floating an immense volume of irredeemable
currency The aspect Of the bond question, as
presented in the review, is novel and highly
encouraging; it would have been more cheer
full in its general tone if the new loan had
been managed with more vigor
During the two years and one month ending
April /, 1871, the public debt has been reduced
S2l5. ,GG3, an amount which will surprise
those cayillers Nho have contended that the
Government of. the United States must even
tually become; bankrupt. Then the burden
of interest has, by wise legislation
and prudent management, been greatly
reduced. In March, 1869, the monthly charge
was s1O.532,4 5Oi, in April, 1871, it was
:S9,527,2l2 G7, ,being decrease of slOO5,2i9 93,
