Big Bill.


There's them that eats till they're Dustin
And them that drinks till they're blind,
And them that's snuflin and spooneyi
But the best Of all, TO nv mind, -
land I've been around in my tim., boys,
And cavorted with any you hke,J
Was Big Bill, that lived in the slashes,
We called him Big Bill oPike-
II he put his hand to his bowie,
rscratched the scruff of his neck,
You cOuld only tell by waitin'
To see if you bled peck;
And the way be fired, twas lOvelyi ~
Nobody knoved which was dead,
TIL Big Bill grinned, and the stiffun
TumbIed over onto his beadi
At school he killed his master;
Courtin', he killed seven more;
And the hearse was always wsitin
A little ways from his door.
There wasn't much growth in the county,
As the census returns viii show,
But we had Big Bill we was proud of,
And that was enoughto grow.
And now Big Bill is an angel
Damn me, it makes me cryl
Jizt when he was rsmpin the toughest,
The poor fellew had to die.
A thievein' sneakIn Yankee
Got the start of our blessed Bill,
And there's no one TO do our KILN,
And nobody left to kill

smells loud of duplicity. They

which alone Grant can be de-

Reduction of the National Debt Under the Adj
ministrntion of President Grant. :

ministration of President Grant.
On the first day of March 1869, the pub
lie debt of the United States, less the
amount of cash in the treasury, according
to the official statement then published,
was so, 525 ,463, $50. 01. Surprising that
during the first four days Of the month the
debt was reduced by $50, 573. 10, which is
four-thirtieths of the reduction for the entire
month. the amount of Indebtedness, less
cash in the treasury, on the .ffM day Of
March, 1869, was SO, 525, 427, $3.50. 81.
On the first day of June, 1872, the total
public Indebtedness, less cash in the treas
ury, was 50, 193, 517 ,37S. 94, showing the
enormous reduction of 1881, 910, 307. 81
in the amount of the debt since the fourth
Of March, 1869.
1t thus appears that during a little more
than three years of President Grants adj
ministration the public debt existing at its
commencement has been reduced by nearly
one-seuenM of its entire amount. European
journals, commenting upon this achieve
ment, have spoken off it with establishment,
as something wholly unparalleled in finan-
cial history. 70 appreciate its full value
to the people, however, we must consider
the immense saving which it involves in
our public expenditures !; for the interest on
the debt eristiag on the first day of June,
1872, was less By 1922 ,002, 5l9a gear than
that of the debt eristiag On the first day OF
March, 1869. Had the administration
adopted the policy of ~postponing the pay
ment of the debt to an indefinite time in
the future, as some persons have censured
it for not doing, this twenty-five millions a
year would still have to be drawn out of the
pockets of the people.
The money they would thus be COM
PEELED to sink forever in the payment Of
interest, would, in ten years, amount to
the enormous sum Of $220, 000, 900, and in
twenty-five years would exceed one-fourth
of the entire national debt. The true econ.
omy of the policy of prompt payment
adopted by President Grant and his excel.
lent minister,of finance is thus made mani
fest. Already it has produced an annua
saving, as we have seen, of more thar
twenty-five million dollars, a monthly
saving of 81, S33, 543. 20, and a daily savlns
Of $6l1, 1S1.0S. Other plans of relieving
the people from taxes, which have, from
time to time, been put forward, have beer
mere temporary ~expedients, whose sol
effect would have been to prolong tn
period, and greatly augment the aggregate
amount of taxation; but this plan bring.
permanent relief, and is accompanied by
no haunting thought Of evil days to come
Moreover the process of reduction is still
rapidly going on, and every year the dimi
mutton OF the amount required for interest
renders it possible to apply so much tn
more to the payment OF the debt. Ever
the twenty-five millions a year alread,
saved il deposited annually in a sinkin
fund at five per cent. interest, compounds
s~emi-annually, would alone suffice to pa.
off the entire National debt in thirty-si
and one-quarter years, and compounded a
six per cent, would pay it in thirty-thre
