WASHINGTON CITY:
November 2J.Ns72.
All AbOIt IL.

Various statements have recently been made
relative to the disposition of the 800 900 voted
by the legislative assembly OF the District for
the relief of Chicago about year AGO, some of
which statements are grossly erroneous The
Governor says in reference to the b.Iance OF
this fund-between $4,000 and s30, O00-that
Nh Merrick, chairman of the Chicago relief
COMMITTEES OF this city, called to see him some
days ago in company with Mr.. Ham
nOnd, the acting treasurer OF the Chi
cago aid and relief society. The Governor
was i'll at the time, and referred them to
the secretary of the District. Subsequently he
the Governor, received a letter from Mr.. Mer-
rick demanding the money. This letter he has
answered, and the correspondence will be snb-
mitted at a meeting Of the Chicago relief com.
mittee in this city in a few days. The Gov
ernOr states that this committee have never
yet made formal and official demand for the
money; and that whenever they do this it will
be paid at once. The statement that the money
could be given to Boston by our authorities here
Is mistake, rs il was appropriated excIu-
sively for the benefit Of Chicago. The authorities
OF the latter city can of course dispose of it as
they think proper. The Governor further Saws
he has been in no haste in the matter, for the
reason that Chicago seemed pretty well provided
for' and had invested something over a million
OF the funds received from different cities. The
Chicago Tribune (of which Mayor Medill is one
OF the ed'tors) OF the 18th inst, in commenting
on the action Of the District authorities, says
"The Governor and other authorities of the
District Of Columbia have a yery IarSe and
extremely destitute population to take care of
every winter, and We suppose there are not
many OF our citizens who do not regret the
demand that the relief and aid society has
mace upon that District.
AZ Is not likely hdt the mayor of is city sciu erer
.nder hS e,rcnmstdnees, make tie demand for the
snpdid balance. The money already received
from the District of Columbia amounted 10 a
munincent charity, and to treat their promise
70 gave more as contract will hardly meet with
puehc favor. 1t is now understood that the
good people of Boston do not stand in need of
any relief; that the wealth of that great city ia
amply able to provide for the comparatively few
persons rendered destitute by the fire, and it
looks unpleasant 10 be using the subscriptions
IOr BOSTON as pretext for dunning other cities
Tor their unpaid subscriptions to Chicago As
neither Chicago nor Boston stands in need of
any further reiief in that form, IL would be well
TO let all further proceedings drop"

The Janesville Gdzctte. one of the best
Republican journals of this State, has

so called ''liberal Republican movement;
The most influential Democratic journal
in Missouri. The ST. Louis Republican

That no Democrat would mark out bet

publican insurgents are directing it into,
and no Democrat could ask for it more

The Republican masses have successfully

tinue to command the confidence Of the
people. The taint Of personal and polit-
ical intrigue which attaches to the move
ment which the Republican characterizes
as being all that any Democrat could de-
sire, will not recommend it to patriotic
men. 1T it was not notorious, that their
leaders are solred by failure of the par
ty to appreciate the estimate which they
place upon their own eminent services
and talents, the country might listen to
their wailings or if they were actuated

ty of the party determines to adopt, their
utterances cease 10 possess any special

A National University.

Senators Howe and Carpenter viii
please accept our thanks for numerous
speeches and Documents. We have read
Senator Howe's speech in favor of a Ma
tional University which shall be libel ally
.ndowed and placed upon an equal foot
ing with the best institutions of learning
in the world His idea is that the gra-
dnates of other colleges should become
the students of this great National Uni
versity, and at the same time become the
clerks of the departments, working as
now. six hours day and spending about
the same numbers of hours in study and
recitation. The University scheme is a
grand one and should be carried out. AS
Tor the merits of the second proposition
much can be said In its favor; our Sena-
tor presents 1T in very attractive form
as he always does anything new which he
brings forward. We are nevertheless
somewhat skeptical as to its being prac
tcal upon the whole. We are somewhat
inclined to the opinion that the best stu
dents would prove the most inefficient
clerks, and that there would be a gener-
al lack Of interest either in their studies
or in their duties. This is our impress
ion. however, and may be entirely erro-
neous. The speech as speech is one
of the finest productions of the kind that
we ever read. .-Rncine Adrocdte.
True in every word. We could not
express our views as well, if we tried.
Clerks are drudges more or less, too much
tired out after business hours for any
higher study or nobler aim.

question. Parkersburg Cincinnati !;

Springfield Republican, with the Giscov.
cry that more than one half the members
of Congress would oppose General Grant S
nomination, if they we're not afraid of
their constituents! That's what's the
matter. The strength Of the administra-
ion is with the people, and not with po-
litcans.
The Nashville Banner says: We do
not say we will not support the Cincin-
natl Liberal ticket zealously; but We do
say that support oft by the Democracy
in its organized capacity-'kept well in
hands by its leaders, as those leaders
themselves insist-wiil inevitably elect
Grant. Mark the prediction.
The promoters Of the Cincinnati raid
are earnestly looking for responsible en-
dorsers. They have named Messrs.
Dawes and Garfield leaders of de-
served repute and standing. But both
of these gentlemen decline the honor and
repudiate the guerilla movement.
They are faithful Republicans, and look
to Philadelphia for the ticket which shall
command their allegiance.
The New York .Snu says the election in
New Hampshire has settled two things.
1t has removed the fointest shadow of a
doubt as to Grant nomination in Phila-
delphia, and it has proved that the De-
mocratic party, acting by itself and ae-
cording to its old ideas. has not the ghost
Of chance for carrying the Presidential
elect on.

TAXATION.

Since the close of the war taxation has
been reduced $233, 0O0, 900 per annuna.
Mr.. Sherman. the Chairman Of the Sem
nate Finance Cnmmirtee, said in a speech
not long since that the requirements Of
the Government for the current year will
be S293, 900, 600, and for the next year
$273, O0O. 900. He estimates the revenue
this.year at 1859, 600 O0O,o OF next year at
$373, 100000. The revenue Of the Gov
erEment is still largely in excess of its ex-
penditures Senator Sherman, therefore
recommends the further reduction of tax
alton by 1000, 900 year. Even then
there will be balance of $50, 600, 600 in
the Treasury, which could be applied to
gradual extinction OF the national debt.
The fruits of Republican rule every
day become more apparent. Notwith
standing the sorehead cry of corruption,
the people 6rmly believe in an admins
tration that has paid off $500, 900 900 of
the public debt in three years, and is
continually Tightening the burden of tax

els. where does not commend itself to hon

citizens have made up their minds to le-

CLIPPINGS.

The Cincinnati Commercial, which is
not favorable to the reelection of Presi-
den: Grant, had the candor to say yester
day, referring to the results of the New
Hampshire election:
Tho New Hampshire Republican
State CoDventisn, that put in the field
the ticket elected yesterday, was particu
lar to indorse the candidacy of Grant FOR
re election. The opponents of Grant were
confident until within fortnight of the
defeat of the Republican ticket, and made
their calculations upon that event. 1t
must be admitted, therefore, that the
triumph ofthe straight Republican ticke:
is, under the circumstances, success for
Grant, and one that must increase the
already formidable tendency to override
all opposition to his nomination by the
Philadelphia Convention.
The Springfield Republican wisely says
that The Republican party can be beat
en- only by itself, and that when its can
didates for President and Vice President
are defeated. it will be only by Republi-
can, lust as true in record, just as faith
fi1l in principles--if not little more so. -

excuse is there for any class Of earnest
Republicans for an attempt to destroy
