The official statement of the Public Debt,
issued Yesterday, shows n deficiency of rev.
enue for tho month of November of nine
million dollars The Illegal issue of legal
tender notes has now reached eleven million
dollars. On the 1st of September the legal
tender and fractional currency outstanding
was $685., 100000 after deducting the cash in
the Treasury. The corresponding amount now
is s414 000,OOO. The imitation is therefore
s26,0OO0O0 in three months. 1t now deyolvcs
on Congress to provide means to enable Mr.
Richardson to draw back this $2G00000O.
Furthermore the United States Government
has undertaken to maintain Sinking
Fund for tho extinction of the Public
Debt. That Sinking Fund now calls for an
annual contribution of about thirty million
dollars. The law establishing the Fund may
be found in the act authorizing the issue Of
tho fiye-twenty bonds. 1t should not be
treated as waste paper.
During the month tho six per cent interest
bearing debt decreased S1j,257,GO0. while the
five per cent debt increased SS,529,1O0. The
official estimates of the Departments call for
s319,106, 1876 so for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1873, or thirteen millions more than the
appropriations for the current year!

PURIFYING THE BENCH.

Judee Sherman of Ohio was wise when he
resigned. HIS letter of resignation published
yesterday was sent to the President in time
to avoid proceedings for his impeachment,
which were pretty certain to be instituted
early in the session of the present Congress.
He bases his action upon the request of the
Cleveland Bar, but at the same time assever-
ates his innocence of any official misconduct.
In the matter alleged against him of being
employed in the Washington lobby to
influence legislation, he claims that he had Il
perfect right to engage IN such business, that
it was legitimate and proper, and did not con-
flict with his official duties. His motive in
resgnng he says is TO "avOid the publicity
chat must necessarily result in meeting this
"accusation." Constituted as | ann he says
"rather than undergo the pain of having my
"name and actions and motives, and those of
"my family and relatives, caDyassod and COM
"mented upon in q friendly or unfriendly
Esprit by persons either in or out of Con-
"gress, | would prefer to retire from
"my present position" Whatever his motives,
DO one can doubt the exceeding wisdom of
his action. The spectacle of Federal Judge
lobbying for pay at the Capitol was not pleas

people. The relation Of tho Judge TO the
Chairman OF the Senate Committee on Finance
was moreover so suggestive in connection with
the character of the legislation he WAS employed
TO urge, that 1t was highly probable the trans
action would be commented upon very freely
and perhaps painfully. 1t was discreet to
avoid such canvassing of motives His
resignation puts him out of the reach of in
quiry and investigation, and by 80 much
lessons the disagreeabe work of the new Con-
eress. Let us be thankful that he has saved
US the inhiotion of 50 much Of tho scandal
of judicial - well, call it incompetency.
And We may be moro thankful that
the signs of the times are, such
that derelict officials like himself can
read in them tho certainty of deserved public
reprobation, even though they shape their con-
duct so as to escape its immediate conse-
ouences. His impeachment and conviction
might have served good turn by way of eI-
ample and warning. but his confession and
avoidance of the consequences answer equally
well. willie wo are saved tho scandal of pub
lie trial. He has tho thanks of the people for
his last aud wsest Judicial act

and in this State they carried a clause
In their resolutions of condemnation
denouncing Democrats as well as Republicans
who voted for it or who had not renowned
their share in the plumber. 1t is not too much to
say that whatever of success that party could
claim in the late elections was attributable to
its persistent charging OF the responsibility
for this unpopular measure upon the Repub-
lican majority in Congress. md its equally
constant and earnest disclaimers on its own
account and reputation of all connection with
its authors and abcttors.
The Democratic party, il may be observed,
is not so flush Of capital that it can afford to
throw away opportunities to take advantage
of tho mistakes Of its opponents. There would
have been, to be sure, good reason to doubt
the sincerity of the party in dcnouncing
measure for which majority Of its repre-
sentatives in Congress had voted, but this
had already been done by its conventions IN
official utterances and by the party orators
and organs in sweeping and demonstratlve
way. They had carried elections on 1t. IL
was the first winning card they had played
for long time But when the representatives,
of the party came together mt Washington
they disclosed at once the hollowness of their
ante-election professions and promises, and
went back on the entire record. The reason
for it is, of course, plain enough majority
of them had voted for the bill and touched
the plumber. What was the party to them,
except as they could use it to secure Office
and what was Office but opportunity to get
money out of the public treasury 1t was
e, a. 20 II for
If there was any sacrifice to be made they
were quite ready to sacrifice the party TO their
own greed and then take their chances
before the people. And so they flung in
tho faces of all tho Democratic Con-
ventions that had denounced the Grab,
the nomination of Fernando Wood,
a chief Salary Grabber, for Speaker, and by
that act saddled themselves with more OF the
responsibility for the measure than could with
any show of reason be charged upon their OPP
ponents. The New-I Hampshire Democratic
Congressman who stumped his district for re-
election last Spring on the ground of his oppo-
sition to the Grab, and Immediately after cleo
ton drew his plumber, was fit forerunner OF
the caucus Of last Saturday. lie was an excel
lent specimen of his party.
The Administration party has been gully of
some great follics and great crimes. But to
repudiate that party and set up in its place
one that has no moro consistency, sincerity or
honesty than has been shown by the Demo
Gratis in this matter would be turning out
blunderers to install thieves in their places.
The truth is, and it is useless to undertake to
disguise it, the Democratic party is hopeless.
1t has survived It's principles, its sense OF
honor, its integrity, and its capacity for use
fulness. II Lays superlluous. The best service
it can do the country is to disband

which are not denied, seems to DO thoroughly
untitled by his character, his habits, anu MS
disregard of the decencies of life for any
official position, has written his resignation,
and that it is waiting some turn in tho dread
full middle of Kansas politics before being
presented. He has, according to testimony
before a Committee of the last Con-
gress, disgraced the Bench by the most dis
gushing drunkenness, as well as by yenallty
and corruption Of every kind. Congress should
make short work of him if he does not initiate
Sherman's example ut once. AS to Dureu,
the charges against him are clear and explicit,
and believed to be susceptible of positive
proof upon incontrovertible evidence. lie does
not propose TO resign, but has hau
emissares at the North during the past
Summer writing up his defense for such
newspapers as would print it, and trying IN
this way to forestall public opinion, aud give
a Congress of his friends some plausible pre-
text for whtcwashing his ofenses and retain
ing him in office. That he deserves impeach-
ment equally with the other two named we
think cannot be doubted, and yet he has been
so serviceable tool of the Administration
that we fear his impeachment, to say nothing
of his conviction, is quite improbable.
The work of publication. however, is going
forward. 1t begins in national politics pre-
cisely where it began in NewYork City, with
the resignation of judge. Judge sherman
had read the story of Cardozo. Would 1t not
be well for Durell and Delahay to look over
the biography of Barnard

THE DEMOCRATS AND BACK PAY.


1t seems hardly credible that the Demo
cratic Congressional caucus, which in much
larger sense than the corresponding machinery
of the Republican organization is understood
TO make laws for the party, could have taken
the position it did on Saturday night toward
the act known as the Salary Grab and the
men who supported it. We have seen tho
party commit some egregious blpnders III the
past dozen years, but never any 80 utterly
stupid, so absolutely suicidal IA this.
The action of the last Congress in pass
ing tho Salary Grab bill was blum
der and q crime. The Republican ma
iority though n smaller proportion of them
than of Democrats voted for the bill, were
held responsible for it. The Indignation of
the people was thoroughly aroused, as the
late elections testify, against the outrage, and
II is also testified by the same elections that
tbeir indignation was visited upon the party
in mower. Some Of the Democratic leaders,
indeed most of them, saw the opportunity, and
in their conventions and on the stump made
the most of it, Their newspaper organs were
fu,l of denunciauons Of tho great swindle,
their conventions condemned it by reso-
lution in the most unmcasured terms,
and their orators never tired OF ringing the
changes upon it, In every State where tiiey
made q canvass this was taeir leading topcj
upgn this peg they hung the weighC OF heH
opposition to the Administration III renh-
syiyana they rcpudiated Salary Oraooer
who had long been one of the most promi-
pcnt and influential OF their leaders
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1873-12-02

Representative Hale, of Maine, true to the
promises made in the last canvass, has already
taken steps to bring before tho House the
question of repeating the Back Pay iniquity.
The Republican members alarmed at the atti-
tudo of hostility assumed by the country, have
fastened to support the proposed measure,
which we are assured will receive the gen.
eral sanction of the Administration party iii
the House. This is the first salutary symptom
OF the prevailing disorder which has appeared
among Congressman. 1t is an indication Of
returning health, and will be so accepted by
the peOple.
