CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGED.

Only a little more than year ago the
advocates of Grant s recollection were max
inc n great account of the fact that he had
enormously reduced the public debt This
was their great reason for giving him sec
ond term.
But now, after less than a year OF this
second term, the Secretary of the Treasury
comes to Congress to report that the pub
lie debt has increased, and that the people
must be taxed to the tune of forty-twC
millions a year in addition to their presen
heavy burdens.
Suppose Horace Greeley mad been elect
ed and had made such communicated
10 the first Congress after his inauguratio
would it not have been yelled about as al
fording conclusive proof of his incompeter
CIV and unftness to administer the Govern
ment2
Now, however, we dare say it is all right
and those who desire Grant for thir
term may find in the splendor OF his e.
penditures and the wisdom of increasiT
the debt and taxes in order to meet the
an argument for electing him again

A Bit Of Secret History.

The following extract is from an article
in the Gdidry magazine for December,
written by Hon Gideon Welles, ex -secre-
tary OF the navy. The peOriod alluded To
is immediately after the defeat of Pope in
front OF Washington, and when the ad
vance of the victorious enemy upon the
national capital carried dismay throughout
the country:
At the stated cabinet meeting on Tues
day, the 2nd of September. while the
whole community was stirred up and in
confusion, and affairs were gloomy beyond
anything thai had previously occurred.
Stanton entered the council room a few
moments in advance OF Mr.. Lincoln, and
said, with great excitement, lac had just
learned from Gen. Hal.eck that the Presi-
dent had placed Mcclellan in command OF
the forces in Washington. The intUrma-
tion was surprising, aud, in view of the
excitement against that officer, alarming.
The president soon came in, and, in an
swer tn an inquiry from Mr.. Chase, con
firmed what Stanton hal said. General
regret was expressed, and Stanton with
some feeling remarked that no order t.
TO that effect had issued from the war de-
partment. The president, calmly, but
with some emphasis, said the order was
his, and he would be responsible tor 1t II
the country, With retreating and de
mOraliZed army tumhhng in upon us, anC
alarm and panic in the community, it wa!
necessary, the PRESIDENT said, that some
thing should be done, but there seemed I,
be no Que to do it. He therefore had di
rected Mcclellan, who knew this Who'll
ground, who was the best organizer in tn
army, whose great faculty was to organic
and defend, aud who would here act upOl
the defensive, To take this defeated an
broken army and reurganiZe it.

will load itself down with such a multiph-
city and variety of subjects that it will be
crushed by its own weight. The delegates
seem to be laboriug under the impression
that government can dig canals and build
railroads to every farm in America with
out costing the farmers a cent. Their
ideas of government are so scattered
and crude that they are in great danger OF
bringing infinite ridicule on the movement.
Government can do nothing except
what authority is plainly given in the con
stitutiou to do-and cannot. even then, make
any pubHcimprovements without taking the
money out Of the peoples pockets to do II
with All the farmers need to do Is to
band themselves together to crush out the
old political rings, of both parties, and in
sist that the legislation of the country
shall not be against the agricultural inter

need to insist on. Their farms, properly
