100000, or $40, 900, and is clear OF il
cumbrances.
Capt. Hall is about to start on a pola
expedition on the part of the Gvernmen,
His voyage contemplates an absence c
two years.
The debt of New York City has bee
increased eighty millions of dollars in tn
last three years. So much for simo
pure Democratic Government.
| An effort is being made to emancipat
all the slaves belonging to the Crown il
South America. So it seems the spiri
OF freadom has crossed the gulf that sep
crates the two Americas.
George s. Dunlap has resigned his DO
sition as general manager of the North
western railroad, in order to superinten nc
the construction Of road between Greer
Bay and Escanaba. There are few mel
who have that intimate knowledge O.
railroad matters which Mr.. Dunlap pos
sesses; his resignation will be severely felt
The late Democratic convention in
Ohio, Iowa and other states show that
the Republican party not only crushed
the rebellion, but has converted large
portion of the northern wing of the
Democratic party to Republican princi-
pies. Verify, peace hath it's triumphs
no less than war.
A portion OF the Democracy now re-
cognlzes negro suffrage and universal
equality as accomplished facts, and pro-
poses to support them in good faith
This is what we should denominate a
death bed conversion.
The National Anti-Secret Society is in
session at Worcester, Mass, Gen. J. W.
Phelps, of Vermont, presiding. One
clerical speaker thought that Free Ma
sonry should be abolished by law. Those
men forget that there was once an un-
successful attempt to abolish Christiani-
ty by law.
The WHOLE THING is FIXED. The
La Crosse Democrat says: 'Vallandig-
ham resolutions, new departure, side
wheel Improvement, do away with the
necessity for National Democratic Con-
vention. With Tammany to make a
Presidential allandigham to make plat
forms, and Belmont to make the
profits, the whole thing is fixed"
The fat has gone forth, Jeff Davis is
ordered by the Richmond Enquirer, the
New York World, the Chicago Times
and other papers to keep his mouth shut,
and not blurt sout the opinions of the
Democrats in the South. Vallanding-
ham has fixed up an ambush for the sur
prise of the enemy; but Davis and
Toombs, like man wo knew under sim
liar circumstances in the army, have pulled
the trigger too quick and exposed his
position. Why can't they keep still until
after election
In South Carolina more than 100 ne
groes hare been killed since the last cleo
tion. The reason is, they voted the radi-
cal ticket as they had q right to. Gov.
Orr, an old Democrat, says in his testi-
mony, that the object of the Ku KIux is
to intimidate the Republicans from yot-
ing at the lext presidential election
Outrages and lynchings in the north are
not exceptional, but in the south there
is manifest and unconcealed object,
haviag- in ,iew the suppression of free
speech and ! free ballot.
The telegraph wires are now bringing
reports of suicides in the United States
at the rate of about six per day, and
there are doubtless many acts of self de-
lstruetion committed, accounts of which
do not reach us. The three leading
causes of the prevailing mania seem to
be liquor, financial trouble and disapoint-
ment in love, and large majority of the
victimes are males. Poison is the favor
ite mode of administering death, while
drowning and the pistol are the next
best means of self destruction.
On the 1st of June the total amount
Of the debt was 50, 299, 134,185 as against
50, 303, ,573, 543 ON the first of May, be-
ing reduction in one month of 81 439,
| 35S. The reduction since March ] 1871,
has been $2l ,574, ,662, and the total re
duction since Grant became President
1926, 329.075. These figures are more
eloquent than words. How we'll has the
President proved what he said in his let
ter accepting the Republican nomination
in 1866: Peace and universal prosper
ity, its sequence, with economy of ad
ministration, will tighten the burden o
taxation, while it constantly reduces th'
national debt -
From present indications we judge tina
the Democracy will be generally whipped
into their places on the Vallandighan
new departure platform. That is, the.
will resolve that the 18th 14th and l5tl
amendments are enacted beyond thei
power to repeal them. But they will re
serve, tacitly, at least, the right to en-
force them or not, as shall suit the ruin
spirits of the party should they get int
power. Even the Mobile Register, th
ablest of the Southern papers, yields t
the pressure as matter of expediency
deeming the success of the Democrat
party better guarantee of Souther
