PAYING OFF TlaE DEBT.

Some idea of the rapid manner in
which the national debt OF the United
States is being paid off can be had by
making com psrison OF the figures with
those Of Greet Britain.
The amount Of the British debt has
been diminished during the past fifty
years only $35O,o00, 600. When there is
a surplus Of revenue over expenditures.
cne-fourth Of it is applied to the reduc-
tion Of the debt There has been in the
meantime no diminution. OF taxation. The
debt is now $3,975, 100000.
In the United States, unlike Great
Britain. steady reduction of taxation
has accompanied the reduction of the
debt. Our National dept in March, 1863
was $2,7e0,00o.o0O, and the anual tax
es We're S355,996 96,l50. or the principal of

From Julian's Radical.

He took the male bovine by the horns.
Gen. Grant, in some eminent
respects, has shown himself as
much superior in civil as in mil
itary affairs. He has promptly
taken positions and assumed re-
sponsibilities which no mere
politician, Of the ordinary run
Of our statesmen, would have
dared to do. Take for instance
his direct announcement in his
Inaugural address in favor of Ne
gro Suffrage. The party which
elected him, had lodged the
question in its platform. What
other men, outside of the pro-
nounced Radicals, but would
have followed that example as
President, and lodged, or at
least postponed declaration on
the subject? But not so with
Grant. An old-tims Democrat
before the war, he at once de-
monstrated the soundness Of bis
conversion, the frank heroism ol
his nature, as well as the high.
est craftsmanship, by taking the
bull by the horns.

Two bootblacks, one white and

the white bootblack had made

the b6otblack whose boot had been

black to have one boot blacked and
he didn't care whether the boot
that the bootblack hadn't blackcd
was blacked or not.
This made the bootblack who
had backed the bootblack's boot
as angry as bootblack often gets,
and he vented his black wrath by
splitting upon the blacked boot of
the black bootblack. This reused
the latent passions OF the black
bootblack, and he proceeded to
boot the white bootblack with the
boot which the white bootblack
had BACKED. A fight then ensued
in which the white bootblack who

From tha Cincinnati Coumsfehi.


From the Cincinnati Commsrchi.
The President said he had met
with political opposition whenever
he appointed women to Office, but
that he had favored such appoint
ments always, and made them
whenever he could.
He has had a great deal of trou-
BILE with the politicians about the
Office which is held by Miss Van
Lew, at Richmond, Virginia. DI-,
egation after delegation had visited
him, to have her removed. There
is no fault found with her conduct
of the Office, but the argument used
is that the party needs it. for politi-
cal purposes. The President has
been unmoved by all the clamor
raised. He hears their stories
quietly, smokes his cigar, and con-
tinues the fight "on the same line"
l asked him if women generally
made good officers.
He replied that out of the three
hundl ed that he had appointed, but
one had proved unworthy, and st
was a postmaster who was q chron-
ic defaulter, and they were obliged
to dismiss her; but ae appointed
another in her place. He said
he hoped to see more of the clerks
ships nLthe departments filed by
women.
In answer to an opinion express
ed in regard to the influence that
women might WELD in a political
campaign, he answered that he
thought they might do him as much
good by talking for him, perhaps
even more, than by voting.
The President seems to have
less anxiety about the election than
many of his friends.
In answer to an inquiry about
the prospectin New York. he said
he should not be surprised if the
State went Republican. Advicef
he had received from reliable

OBITUARY.

HORACE GREELEY.
Old Greeley is dead, that good old man.
We ne'er shall see him more,
He used to wear an old white coat,
All buttoned down before.
Upon his bead an old white hat
He always used 10 wear,
To cover up his shining head,
So destitute of hair.
A pair Of massive spectacles
He wore upon his nose,
Which made him look benevolent,
As everybody knows.
He was great newspaper man,
And published the Tribune,
And every day. or month, at least,
He always changed his tune.
And no one could be wiss enough,
To guess what he would say,
Iaeonstant, tickle, changeable,
Unstable ~ the wind.
He first blew hot and then blew cold
: just ~ he changed his mind.
Philosophy was his delight,
And he could clearly prove. a
That all mankind would be made best
By practicing free love.
For farming, too, he had taste,
Although il has been said,
BE never met with great success,
Except with cabbage head.
In politics he Jared far worse,
For people were afraid a
To trust the man in public life,
Lest thoy should be betrayed.
And though the Cincindati men
Joined those at Baltimore,
70 make old Horace President,
They fell down through the floor.
Their platform was too weak to hold,
Aud come down with crash,
And poor old Horace Greeley died,
Crushed in the general smash.
The Coroner was quickly called,
An inquest duly made,
And this waS what the gentlemen
Upon the jury said
"We find that Horace Greeley died
OF pressure on the brain,
Caused by platform breaking down
That could not stand the strain.
ats timbers and its planks were weak,
And, if they had been good, 1sIa
No platform, We are satit6 6ed,

prove true our charges against
Horace Greeley, Hortaio Seymour,
and Waldo Hutchins, in reference
to that candidacy Of Horace Gree
ley as Cincinnati and Baltimore.
We do no more than redeem our
pledge-in this sense, that we had
obligated ourselves TO present the
rroof upon denial by any one OF
the three, of the truth Of our
charges; and there has been no
such denial. Accepting that fail
ure to meet the challenge as a
confession that no denial is posi-
BILE, except at risk greater than
that Of permitting tho charges
which have been before the public
just twenty days and unable to
gain the additional advantage OF
making it certain not only that the
collusion we charge, between these
men really existed, but that the
truth is not In them, We give to the
public the proofs that have con-
vinced us, beyond the possibility OF
denial or question, tia Greeley
was made Democratic candidate
for President by his own procuring
ard that Cincinnati aad Baltimore
we're parts of the same conspiracy.
We reprint here the terms Of our
indictments, as follows;
"A CHALLENGY,

These men have failed TO answer
the charges of political arrange

them, and repeated by this journal;
and in order that the issue may the
more plainly appear, aud they may
have opportunity of denying, or
admitting or explaining the facts as
they shall prefer. we put these facts
as VIC understand them in form as
follows:

in October, 1871, on his own be-

of the United States, il Horatio
Seymour and the Democratic lead

correspondence on that subject; o.
which one letter was dated October
2, 1871. That Mr.. Greeley formal
ly recognized his agreement, ani
communicated the fact Of the Dem
ocratic proposition to Reuben E

assistance to the schCme.

to consult with Democratic leaders.
The proposition met with very
strong opposition, but the fact that
it wss about the only thing they
could do, convinced the party lead
ers that they had better do it. II
they should elect q prominent man
from their ranks he would have
political associations, and friends
that he could not help serving, and
and they could not get such an
administration as they could by
taking up q man. with no former
political associations he would be
under obligation to recognize.
The leaders of both parties are
corrupt. Such Democratic leaders
~ Belmont, Marble. and 0thers,
have been making money andpolit-
ical capital out of our following,
and the party has continually lost
Three millions of Democratic
votes had become useless for want
Of proper management of them,
and We thought it was time to turn
the tables and compel the leaders
to follow for awhile.
In 1860 we might have elected
Houston, if we had nominated him,
over Lincoln, because Houston
claimed that the Territories were
the common property of all the
States, aud the Democrats all over
the United States could bave unit
ed on that principle. In 1864 we
could have elected Reverdy John
son over Lincoln, and in 1868 we
could have elected Chase over
Grant. We have fooled away so
many opportunities that we con-
cluded that it was best to drop
some of the old, unpopular doe
trines this fall, and come out in
shape to succeed. 5F
Carmichael refused to show any
letters, alleging that he had already
shown letters to the editor Of this
paper. He said he did not under
stand Mr.. Greeley as desiring that
there should be no secrecy about
the movement. Precisely how he
desired to be understood here is
uncertain.
The first plan, Carmichael said
was to call a convention in Otsego
County, TO nominate Mr.. Greeley
and start the campaign in thai
manner.
Last April Mr.. Greeley wrote to
Carmichael saying that he believed
the Dem ocrats preferred a cand;
date from their ranks, and would
not unite in his support; therefore
he wished to withdraw from the
canvass. But Carmichael prevail
ed upon him to stick TO it unit
tfey knew what the Democrat,
leaders would do. It was not bes
to back down before they had tim
to work the thing up.
Carmichael said at the clos,
nervously, that he had rather be il
