INERT In Grants which has reduced the
debt $3OO,0O0, 900? Let the opposers OF
Grant say what they will about extrava-
gance, poor administration, corruption,
the necessity of reform, and all that. they
cannot deny that the debt has been reduced
IN the large sum mentioned above, but
how to account for such result if their
statements are true is puzzle. An adj
ministration cannot pay the debt as this
has paid it and at the same time be very
corrupt. Extravaganza, public or private,
creates debt instead of -wiping it out. The
debt grew under Andrew johnson be-
cause corruption reigned, although Mr..
Trumbull did not seem to know it. The
same management under Grant would
have continued the increase of the debt,
but from the day he came into power the
debt began to shrink. If this paying off
the debt and cutting down taxation at the
same time is extravaganza, the more we
have of it the better. When Grant was
accused of drunkenness in the army, Mr..
Lincoln said he should like to know what
kind of liquor he drank so that he might
obtain some for his other generals. We
think the people will say of the extrava-
agance of Grant, let us have another four
years of it.
So long as the debt and taxes continue
to be reduced, and the government shows
all the signs of vigorous, honest and snc
cessful management. it will be useless to
raise outcries about its extravaganza and
imbecility. These gentlemen who make
the cutlery were satisfied with Mr.. John
son; if they cannot endure President
Grant they must have become wonderful
~ sensitive. They cannot deny the out
ward signs Of economy and honest man.
agement, but having admitted these their
assertions Of corruption fall to the ground
Zone cannot eat his loaf and have it."
The resolutions declare that political
action of individuals and conventions
should not be Influenced by political pat
ronage. that tribute should not be paid
for political purposes, and that offices
should not be given as partisan rewards,
Very well, but do Mr.. Trumbull and hi,
friends expect to find the democratic party
towards which they are bound, any purel
in these respects than the republican
They might as well go to India for ice, Of
to Greenland for cotton, as to look for cor
rection of these things in the democratic
party, where they are not only practiset
but defended and sustained against all op
position. The other resolutions declare
that the republican party does not depend
upon any one individual, which is tru,
enough as we have proved in times pas
and shall again-and for reform and tn
one-term principle. As whole the plat
form is ridiculous, and when considered il
connection with the high sounding tai
that the pilgrims to Cincinnati make, it i

Tn. Block Coal Field. u Indiana.

The block coal of Western Indiana is COM
ing rapidly into notice, and the thorough tests
applied to it proye it to be most valuable
fuel in the manufacture ofiron and Bessemer
steel. 1t has excited notice among Eng
lish iron-masters. 1t is said that, under
their direction, already CAREFUL analyses of
the coal have been made, and that the results
are in high degree satisfactory. Already
capitalists, East and West, are moving in the
matter of erecting works to make steel with
this fuel. Several railways now converge on
these rich coal fields, or cross them, to give
access TO market. Both, the Terre Haute
roads cross them, and other roads are being
| built to reach them. Within q few months
the Logansport, Craw louisville & Southwest
ern Railway has reached the block coal. In
deed, it comes close to the hills in which is
found very superior bituninous coal which
is likely to be valuable for the manufacture
of gas, as also for fuel; and twenty We feet
below this is the famous black coal stratum
The road which reaches these rich deposits
has easy connections west, northwest, north,
and east, and is already carrying the coal to
market in considerable quantities. These
coal mines and the sandstone quarries must
prove the source of large income to the
road named.
The papers of Indiana state that recently
company of scientific gentlemen, including
the State Geologist, Prof Cox, Prof. Foster
of Chicago, Prof. Hovey and Col. Darlington
Of Wabash College, and others, visited these
coal fields and sandstone quarries in Parke
county, which are reached by the Logans-
port, Charlottesville Southwestern Rail-
way, and that they make very favorable re-
port as to the extent and quality of both the
coal and building stone. t&w.

THE xALcoNrENrs At NEW york.

The first public demonstration of tn,
malcontents took place at New York OF
Friday evening last. Extensive adver.

brought together a goodly sized meeting

It strikes us as somewhat strange that 8
meeting opposed to Office holders should
have been constituted as that was. The
President was retired Office holder, and
the list of Vice Presidents was made up
very largely from the same class. The
two speakers, Trumbull and Schurz. are
now holding Office and seeking more. The
first is prominent candidate for the Gin
cinnati nomination for President, while
the personal ambition of the second is
unbounded. These may be proper men
TO advance the one-term principle and
harangue against ofliceholders, but we
cannotsee it in that light. fthey had made
an exhibition of themselves as dreadful

they would have been entitled to respect

holders they are about as much out of
