PELING UP THE TANES.

The New York Sun (Ra1icaD de-
nounces without stint the Boutwell, fnan-
cial policy, which, in short, is to screw
as much money out of the people as he
knows how, without reference TO their
ability to pay. That paper says:
"What with national, State and NUM-
cipal taxes, and the exactions of banks,
railroads and other monopolies, the land
is already licked bare. In the last year
more people have borrowed the money to
pay their taxes than ever before since the
United States have existed; and we tel
the Secretary that he is about at the end
of his tether by higher law than Con-
gross can enact. As to Mr.,
Boutwell's propositiOn-that the public
credit is the basis of all trans
actions-the pyramid stands exact
ly on the other end. With
out private credit there can be no public
credit. Every banker knows that paper
is only injured by adding bad endorsers.
Public credit in a community of bank
rupts may be something Ineligible to
Mr.. Boutwell,, but we confess it is beyond
our powers of understanding. With the
mania for high taxes this passion for
multiplying the denominations of our ma
tional securities is not inconsistent. Mean.
while business is declining, industry of
every kind is strangled, and the farmers
borrow the money to pay their taxes.
The country is rapidly approaching such
a paralysis as it has not dreamed of since
1887"
The Radical officials and Congressman
have no feeling for the great body of the
people who pay the taxes. The follow
ing table shows the aggregate amount ap-
propriated by the last Congress to meet
the current expenses Of the government
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1872
1t will be seen that the appropriations for
1872 are in excess of those for the cur,
rent fiscal year:

"IF THEY ATTEND. ,

Our telegrsphic dispatches published
yesterday morning, in speaking of the
Democratic prospects in the present Con
gress say: "They have a right to expect
eight members from States yet to elect,
thus making their entire strength in the
House 104 members. Il will be a fO,mi-
dable minority-if they attend" This is
q severe but just commentary upon those
Democratic members of the last Congress
who either from wilful negligence or des-
pair so often deserted their posts in the
hour of danger. We hope that The Dem
ocrscy of this Congress will appreciate
the importance of the positions which
they hold, not in party sense but for
the sake of country, and be ever ready
when the long roll is sounded to meet and
resist the enemies of our republican insti-
buttons now in power. Let the minority
remember that thE have duties and res,
possibilities not less weighty than those
of the majority.

THE EVIDENCES OF SOUNp RE
CONSTRUCTION


The New York Herald, in a recent
article headed Hopeful increase of
darkies in Congress-" says: 'Five new
dsrky representatives were sworn in the
House of Representatives on Saturday.
These are about the only evidences of
sound reconstruction that the Radicals
can confidently point to at present.
Legislatures will change, State majorities
will turn from Republican to Democratic,
Governors in office will go back on the
party that elected them, and even Sena-
tors who have had the oath toned down
to suit the circumstances will display
alarming conservatism; but the darby
must stay black, and the mulatto must
remsin colored for ever, despite the me-
Ign influences of Democracy. 1t is a
great consolation to know that after five
years of hard work at Reconstruction there
are such Interchangeable and indisputable
evidences of the grand mission and grand
success of the Republican party"
The Herald has shown a persistent
and consistent.favorilism for Gen. Grant,
which has been lacking in many Of the
journals of his own pronounced political
faith. It's statements as to ''the only
evidences of sound reconstruction that the
Radicals can confidently point TO at
present" are worthy of consideration.
What summing up have we here of the
| success of the Radical reconstruction
policy! Years of legislative oppression,
of political and social terrorism to the
white people of the South; fears CT
future sggressions upon and future dis
grace for us, the sum of which is: five
Radical negroes IN Radical Congress.
The historian will record: The noun
tains were in travail and brought forth a
! ridiculous mouse.

OPPOSITION.

s. We regret 4o see that there are some |
of the opponents of the present policy |
by which cur government is controlle ;,
who favor an effort to wrest the govern
ment from the hands of the dominant |
party by simply proposing OPPOSITION"
as the rallying cry. The friends of |
democratic government, and by these we |
do not mean those only who are styled in
a partisan sense Democrats" but all
the friends of democratic government
must unite and rally around the ban
ner of principle, upon which shall
be emblazoned the political faith they
hold and the political doctrines which
they expect to maintain in the administrs-
ton of the Government. The opposition
which is built only upon the ground of
opposition" is like the house of the
foolish man built upon the sand. 1t will
fall, and great viii be the fall of it. The
wayfaring man, though fool, can see
that The whole effort of the psrty in power
is to perpetuate their party power without
regard to the ways and means necessary
to accomplish that result and without
regard to the effect which that result will
have upon the institutions established by
the sires of re.
At this hour it becomes the friends of
democratic government in every State TO
prepare for action, to begin the work of
organization. Howe We do not say
that it shall be done by sounding
party bug,es, calling the party
roll and publishing the list of
party deserters. There are no
elections now before the people. 1t is a
time for thought, sober second thought.
1t is a time for study and reflection. 1t
is time for every man to calmly con-
slider whether the tendencies of the Gov
eminent are such as to perpetuate in form
and spirit the constitutional republic
which our fathers founded for us; or
whether we are not rushing recklessly
upon the rapids of Capitalization. Let
our people begin to think of the dangers
which threaten Us, and of the surest
means Of escaping therefTom.

THKRR is trouble In The Radical camp

Sumner from the Craftsmanship of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, which he
has held for ten years, created great ex-
element and no little dissatisfaction.

an effort was made to reconsider the &C

The Cincinnati Commercial RadicaD
says: 'It is said that reign of terror is
anticipated in Southern Kansas, similar
10 that of last fall, which eliminated in
the hanging of q parcel of presumed
housewives. This being the case, ought
Congress not to extend the operation of
the law which it is urged is necessary for
the protection of loyalty at the South,
over at least portion of Kansas. If we
are to have special legislation by the
General Government for the security Of
life and social tranquility, why not make
it applicable to any State where there is
a turbulent popular outbreak. Eastern
Pennsylvania, the anthracite mining re-
gion especially, demands the attention of
Congress.

Here is an increase of nearly four and
half millions, which the taxpayers
have to furnish. The country groans
under the weight of taxes, and the party
in power instead of reducing the expendi-
lures has increased them. The partisans
of the Administration have made a great
boast of the reduction of the public debt,
but no effort has been made to afford an
adequate measure of relief for the tax

In view of the new enforcement act of
Congress, with its numerous pains and
penalties, nearly all the leading Virginia
journals are urging that State law shall
be passed to separate the Congressional
elections from all other election SO that
they may be held at time when no State
elections are to occur. 1t is probable
that this will be done not only in Viz
ginia, but among the States generally, as
the only means of avoiding sJme of the
disagreeable features of the outrageous
act. Such change on the part of indi.
vidual States would necessitste additions
elections in most of them, but the Balti-
more Sun thinks it is far better 10 sub.
NIT to that inconvenience than that the
local elections should be controlled or in
terfered with by partisans under the infiu-
ence of outside authority, with United
States troops at their individual call, and
State officials entirely at their mercy.

charity for the accused, that Bowen is
guilty of all the matrimonial charges that
have been preferred against him"

CHEF JUsTIoR CARTIER of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia,
has rendered an important decision,
striking at species of influence and q
class of practice in Washington, which
has grown into vast proportions. Gen.
Timothy C. Dwight a lobbyist, sued
Corydon Kari, Buffalo, agent of lock
company, for his services in endeavoring
to secure the acceptance by the Postofice
department of a lock manufactured by
the company. Judge Cartier instructed
the jury to bring a verdict for the defen-
dsnt, on the ground that such a contract
for services was contrary to thetrue interest
of public policy. The Philadelphis Age
pertinently asks: Was not the lobbying
of Gen. Grant in the San Domingo job
CONTRARY to just public policy" and
doessit not come under the centdecision
of Judge Cartter9

his refusal to notice the charge of al
tempted bribery brought against his father,
the Postmaster at COvingtOn, KY, by
