TuE NATIONAL FINANCES.

The successful management of our IL
nancial concerns reflects the brightest
honor upon the Administration Of Presi-
dent Grant, and, especially does it evince
tile shrewdness, integrity, and the financial
skill of Mr.. Boutwell,, the Secretary of
the Treasury. The present age, in no
government under the sun, has furnished
his. equal in genius and capabilities as a
national ~inancier. Under his sagacious
supervision, over two Hundred Millions
of the public Debt has been paid. Every
cent of receipts, after the current expen-
ses of the government are discharged, Is
applied to the liquidation of the National
indebtedness. Our Debt is enormous, 1t
must be conceded, and appears appalling
without considering our rich means and
for discharging it, but it sinks
into insignifcance and we think lightly of
the possible burden that will fall on the
next generation, when we inventory our
immense actual opulence and the grand
possibilities and probabilities that lie be-
fore us. These are all well known to the
capitalists of the world and no difficulty
is experienc d in the sale of bonds. The
principal of the Debt is being largely and
steadily reduced, and the Secretary is
trying to diminish the interest on the re-
mainder, by funding the Fiye-Twenties,
now redeemable and drawing six per
cent interest, in new bonds drawing a
smaller interest. If he reduces the in
tcrest but per cent, an amount will
thus be saved to pay the principal in fifty
years. 'N1oney saved is money made" is a
true maxim with equal application to ma
tions and individuals. The Secretary has
succeeded in converting Two Hundred
Millions of Five-Twenty Skies into ten
year Elves, which small operation reduces
the Debt Two Millions per annum. The
Debt is now over Two Thousand Millions.
BY this rate of reduction this great
mountain load, of which we have heard so
much, will melt into nothingness. the
country never feeling the assessment upon
its accommodating wealth to deliver it from
the bondage of debt. In the light of
these plain and gratifying facts, what a
dishonor ard infamy does reputation ap-
pear. Yet there is large party in the
country which rendered itself everlasting
ly disrcputablc, by a shameful and I'M
qualified resolve at its last National Meet
ing to violate the Governments contract
with the trusting and accommodating
bond holder, and swindle him out of his
just dues.

ALEssoN TO OTHER STATES.

The rapid progress which republican
ideas have made in Kentucky is most
hopeful indication that that State will be
redeemed from the thralldom of demo-
cratic power at no distant day. The re-
publicans of Kentucky, from the very be-
ginning, have preached and practised a
gospel of federation, m~agnanimity, and
progress. The idea of restriction and ex-
elusion never found its way into their
creeds and councils. This course has
commended itself to the acceptance of the
intelligent public mind and the consc-
quence is that democracy is waning to q
close in that, one of its boosted strong
holds. The republicans of other States
can learn a useful lesson from the policy
and consequent growing strength of the
Republican party in Kentucky. This
being done there is no good reason, why
every state in the Union should not be
placed under republican rule.
Just now the Republicans of Tennessee
have an opportunity of retrieving their
former fortunes. by doing precisely what
their friends in Kentucky have done SO

Kentucky Election.

Last week the Republican journals
were jubilant over the assumed fact
that the Democratic majority an Ken.
lucky, at the election on Monday last,
was reduced to 10000. General Har.
Ian, they asserted, had made gallant
canvass, which was certainly true.
They also declared he had covered him.
sell with inperishable honor, which is
much more doubtful Que enthusiastic
Radical journal went SO far us to pro.
pose his nomination to tho Vice Pres.-
deucy in 1872. Others, less Jealous,
or more prudent, were Of opinion that
he was, ut least, entitled to u lucrative
official appointment. But, as returns
come in from the interior counties,
General Harlan ii found to be the worst
beaten man that has entered into the
Contest against II Democratic candidate
III Kentucky since the close of the war
taking iuto consideration the fact
that there ure very nearly fifty thousand
negro voters in Kentucky, and that they
voted sOlidly for him.
A day or two ago the New York
Tribune pleasantly assured its readers
that the Democratic vote had been cut
down to 10000. Gu Saturday it was
constrained TO concede Leslie, the
repudiator Of the New Departure, II
majority Of at eust 3s,0UO." The
Tribune is still very far wide Of the
mark.
Official returns received at Frankfort
up to Thursday evening indicated, even
then, that Lesie's majority would Ger.
tainly not be less than forty thousand,
aud later dispatches from Louisville
estimate that when the returns are in
from the sixty two countics yet, to be
heard from, his total majority in the
State will foot up forty five thousand,
aud may reach fifty thousand. General
Harlan has doubtless done US well as he
could. No other nau in the Republican
ranks could have done SO well. But it
is now evident that, with all his person
al popularity, backed by fifty thousand
new voters--for the negroes did not
vote in Kentucky III 1868 and also
by all that Federal patronage and Fed
eral influence could do for him, he has
not only not reduced the Democratic
vote, but, owing to the nature Of the
contest it has actually been increased.
ln other words, it the negroes had not
voted on Monday last, Lcsiie's minority
would have exceeded that of Stevenson
in 1868, which was IS, sos. -Battimore
