Benefit Of Mr.. DuMestre.

Last night the Opera House was fairly
ablaze with the wealth and beauty of our
city, assembled to witness Mr.. Dumestre IN
his great role of Charles VI. Every seat
seemed occupied from pit to dome, and
numbers were obliged to stand. .,.
The beneficiary was received with a tu-
multi of applause and great shower OF
bouquets, besides several packages, doubt
less containing something more. substantial
than flowers, were handed him during the
evening. ~ -
The opera closed at such late hour as to
prevent any extended notice of the per-
Torrance in this edition.

We copy the following from the New
York Tribune:
The Binghamton Republican charges the
Tribune with ingratitude to General Grant,
in that it does not favor his reelection to the
Presidency. Yet, when he was first nomi.
mated, four years ago, not only was it well
known that We had for thirty years been an
advocate of the one-term principle, but
General Grant apparently stood on the same
platform. General Grant is with u.s. said
unequivocally the Washington Chronical,
whose Editor was on intimate terms with
the General, and which day by day COM
mended the One-tern principle not
merely right but essential to the National
purity and weil-being. And we have reason
to know that the Chronicle spoke by author
ity. Whoever may have changed on this
point, we have not.
sSuppose General Grant should be reelected,
and the office holders should insist, four
years hence, on running him for third
term, land every argument for second
term is at least equally good for third, }
shall we then be ungraetful to General Grant
if we .demur! Let us know when we may
support another without mourning the re-
proach of ingratitude.

The Finances.
From the New York Tribune. |


Secretary Boutwell, has made gratifying
Department from March l, 1869, to April l.,
1872-three years and one manufacturing
which period the national debt Qess cash in
the treasury has been reduced from total
of 81, 49I, 699, 1904 to $2l74, 81, 1913, or by no
less sum than $3l7 ,025 ,606 The annual
interest OF burden OF the debt, which, at
the date of General Grants Inauguration as
President, was $3.50, $50, is now $lO5,-
9O4, 998-a reduction in thirty-seven months
of $50, 4S4,552.
There are those we sincerely believe that
this grand result might have been achieved
under tariff not protective we do not,
and cannot. We know how the country
languished, its industry was paralyzed, its
currency lay in ruins, and its people were
hopelessly impoverished and unthrifty, for
the seven years following the close of our
fathers revolutionary struggle; we can just
remember the similar period Of paralysis
1Sl2-l5 with Great Britain and we feared
that cycle of distress and calamity would
follow hard on the heels of our own far
more exhausting, devastating civil war. We
know that many of our free traders predict
ed this catastrophe; we know why it was
not realized, and heartily wish they did. In
that case we should no longer be at odds
with them.
Mr. Boutwell, reports the gold now in the
treasury at $l2O, 2OO,6lO, the currency at
$40, 43l 1893, together $3.50, 63l, 300. There are
those who profess to see the wisdom of
keeping this monstrous hoard we do not
and can not, though we have patiently
studied every explanation and defense of it
hitherto put forth. Deduct $3O,0OO,0OO to
balance gold certificates in circulation, and
$4,000, 900 for working balance, and there
are still $90OOO,OOO in gold which ought to
have paid off that amount OF interest bear
ing debt, most of it long while ago. That
dead coin might have been exchanged for
bonds when they were far cheaper or the
premium on gold much higher than at pres
emit. If its obstinate retention in the treas
ury has not been fearful mistake, then We
can not reason.
All the pretexts we have heard set forth
for this misery clinging to gold seem but
an insult to the public understanding. This
gold does not help increase the value or
price of the greenbacks, because none of it
can be used to redeem or pay them. AS to
steadying the money market, the experience
of s.Black Friday" proves ten millions
abundant for that purpose. How much
longer. then, must this mountain of gold
lie ike nightmare on the breast Of the
country

GUILTY WITHOUT CAPITAL PUNISH
MENT.-Earle and Garvey were yesterday
declared guilty Of numbering Old Mrs.
zollinger, but the jury thought that &C.
cused were not sufficiently guilty to be
capitally punished. Now it matters little
how the twelve jurymen stood on the 9ues-
ton, for all persons who have informed
themselves of the horrible circumstances
attending the preparation of the crime
will say that the verdict is certainly just

but mild one. Those members of Che fury
who remained steadfast in their opinion
that the prisoners were guilty have their
own reward. The police, too, come in for
good share Of praise in having faithfully
pursued the guilty men until final con-
viction. Judge Atocha, counsel for the
men, put forth great.eforts to save them,
and it is doubtless owing to his talents
that the jury rendered a verdict which is
less than hanging. There is little doubt
but that Earle and Garvey will pass the
remainder of their days in the Peniten-
tiary. The punishment is severe, but their
offense was horrible

that there was little likelihood of an agree

when the jury would be sent for again.
Judge Abel, making an effort to be face
tious and sarcastic, answered: cat the end
of the term" Judge Atocha's response
was worthy of the occasion and must have
impressed the court with the belief that
