THE NATIONAL DEBT.

The last prop has been knocked
from under the Grant administration
by Senator Fenton, one of the FL
nance Committee. The apologists
and whitewashers have boosted like
veritable Gascons, of how their chief
has been paying off the national
Debt. 1.-THE king" says Senator Fen
ton, ''founds the city, the king builds
the temple, Justinian and Napoleon
gave codes of laws, and Grant pays
off the national debt" He then goes
on to show by a former speech OF
Boutwells' that during the admins
tration of the despised Andrew john
son. the debt was actually reduced
in greater proportion than during
this. The Radicals claim a reduc-
ton of one hundred millions a year
under Grant. But it turns ont that
under johnson, according to Bout
we'll. the reduction was at the rate of
S145, 900, 900 per aDnum. or nearly
SO per cent. greater. This reduction
of the public debt has nothing to do
with the merits of either Grant or
johnson. but when analvzed simply
provo the enormous taxes to which
the people have been subjected.
There are but three courses for the
custodian of the public funds, VIXEN
a surplus product accrues in his
hands: he may pay it on the national
indebtedness, hoard it in the Treas
ury, or steal it or allow it to be
stolen. To claim credit for either of
the former courses is as absurd as it
would be to claim credit for taking
the latter. The public officers are
the servants and agents Of the peo-
pie and not their masters. If a por-
ton of the public debt has been paid,
the credit for it, is due the people
who furnished the funds, often at a
sacrifice which deprived women and
children of many highly taxed neces,
sites of life, and not to a President
bloated with pride of place, luxu.

AN OPINION.

Professor Agassiz comes to the
conclusion that the continent of
North America was one covered
with ice, thereby agreeing with Prof.
Hitchcock and other eminent geoi-
ogical writer's concerning the glacial
period. In proof of this conclusion,
he says that the slopes of the Allie
ghany range of mountains are gla-
icer-worn to the very top, exceptafew
points which were above the level of
the icy mass. Mount Washington,
for instance, is over 5000 feet high,
and the rough, unpublished surface
of its summit, covered with loose
fragments just below the level of
which glacier marks come to an end,
tells that it once lifted its head above
the desolate ice and snow. In this
region, then, the thickness of the
ice cannot have been much less than
5000 feet, and this is in keeping
with the same kind of evidence in
other parts of the country; for, when
the mountains are much below 5000
feet, the ice seems to have passed
directly above them, while the few
peaks rising to that hight were I'M
touched. Professor Agassiz argues
that the glacier was Gods great
pillow. and when the ice vanished
from the land it left it prepared for
the hands of the husbandman. He
thinks the hard surfaces of the rocks
were ground to powder, and the ele-
mentS of the soil were mingled in
fair proportions; granite was carried
into lime regions, lime was mingled
with the more arid and unproduc-
tive granite districts, and as oil was
prepared fit for the agricultural uses
of man. All over the populous re-
gions there are evidences to show
that at one period the heat of the
tropics extended all over the globe.
The ice period is supposed to have
been long subsequent to this, and
next to the last before the advent OF
man.

The owners of the Adams and

The owners of the Adams and
Governor Bradley mines, in this dis
trict, have let a contract to drift 80
feet on the Adams and to sink and
drift 80 feet on the Bradley. Both
claims are fooking remarkably well,
and have yielded considerable guam
titles of rich ore. The shaft on the
Bradley is now so feet deep, and the
ledge looks we'll nearly the entire
depth. The tunnel on the Adams is
in l23 feet, and the ledge is regular
and unbroken and shows good ore
from the surface to the face of the
tunnel. Reduction works are all
that Is necessary to place those
mines on the dividend paying list.

The Tnyo Independent wants cap
i~talists to Put up extensive smelling
works at Cottonwood, on the west
beach of Owens Lake. Works at
that point would be accessible to the
Cerro Gordo mines as well as others
in the country, and near it, from
Coso on the south to Waucoba,
and other places east of the lnyo
range, and west, along the foot OF
the Sierras; north. perhaps to Ben
ton. Such an establishment, the In
dependent thinks, would pay hand
somely and get all the ore it wanted
to work and all the bullion it could
refine. A sawmill, and fume eight
miles long would have to be con-
structed, down which to run wood
and lumber to the lake.

BoUTWELL's GOLD BALANCES.

A financial article in the New York
Herald submits furtherfacts to show
what a tight place Secretary Boutwell,
has worked himself into by letting
his gold balance run down, and his
over anxiety to pay off the national
debt. 1t says:
"The upward tendency Of the
GOLD market continues to be exhibited
strongly, and contains in itself an
instructive problem. Why gold
should COUP is a question the people
are anxicusly asking, but to any one
who has watched the course OF our
foreign exchanges and the domestic
policy which has governed the adj
ministration of our national tinan ces
the solution is easy. We are Dor
rowers not only individually, but
beggars in our aggregate autonomy.
The Secretary's experiment OF paying
off p~rematurely a large portion OF
the national debt has not resulted
successfully. The capitalists of
Europe recognize fully that this was
but a strained effort. and amounted
simply to discounting the future
credit of the United States. 1t Is
the business of these men to make
themselves acquainted with the re-
sources of any country that may
come to them to borrow money:
They. of course, saw in this rapid
payment of the American debt that
the industrial. and in fact the whole
business interests of this country
we're being seriously impaired Ii

was merely 'robbing Peter to pa.

A Christian Statesman.

When the entire North was excited with
anger and revenge in consequence OF the
assassination OF President Lincoln, Mr..
Greeley wrote the following manly letter ::

My Dear Sir-I have yours of the 9th, for
which I thank you. heartily concur With
YOUR view OF What should be our national pol

late insurgents join with us in saying slavery
is no more, and I think we shall gradually
mould the public will to our views. Just now
the assassination of President Lincoln has
made the North furious; but we shall out
grow that. l shall not hesitate to labor and
suffer reproach In the service OF. Heaue's-
blessed charity aud mercy.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

Lion or Lie On!

AS every one knows, the Grant admins
tration is ignominiously defeated at Geneva,
and. after all its bluster, finds that the
claims for indirect or consequential damages
are ruled out, before tho English counter
case is submitted. Making demand which
was absurd on its face, Mr.. Grant and his
advisers had not the courage 10 own their
HINDER and withdraw that demand. In
England, on the other hand, there has been
one opinion and one policy. The Gladstone
Cabinet determined 70 withdraw from the
arbitration if the claim for consequential
damages was to be persevered in, and they
rofnsed TO submit their Case until that ques.
tion was settled. With these facts before
them, the Geneva Board promptly decided
that the indirect claims were inadmissIble,
and the American Cabinet was very glad to
acouiesce. Yet an attempt is made to
nersuade the American public that Mr..
Grant has won victory. This is the easiest
exclamation of Nast's Cartoon in the last
number of Harper. Mr.. Grant, smoking.
bis cigar, stands on the tail OF the bowling
British lion, while Mr.. Gladstone and Mr..
Disraeli, the one sullenly and other smil-
ingly, witness the interesting operation.
The inscription iz ''Our President puts his
.'foot down, and the British Lion will have
ssto wriggle out" To "wriggle out" we
suppose, as Lee "wriggled out" at Manas-
sas, and Charlottesville, and Cold Harbor.
President Grant has gone back to 1864, and
claims as victory what is disastrous
defeat
