The act OF Congress entitled San

cases. approved june Is, 1874,

communication therefore, shall be
furnished such persons as shall be

General Baker, Commissioner of
Pensions, has announced that

National Debts.

Nearly every nation in the world
is either borrower or a lender,
and the startling declaration is
made by a writer in the London
Daily Telegraph that the world
regarded in the mass is living
beyond it's means During the
ten years ending with 1872, while
England reduced her debt $175,-
100000, Holland about S30,OOO,-
900, and the United States $780,
100000 in five years, there was an
increase, in some cases exceedingly
large, in the de'-ts of France, Italy,
Spain, Russia, Turkey, Austro Hun
gary, Egypt, Brazil, Portugal and
Peru, to say nothing of other ma
tions which are comparatively small
debtors. France has gone deepest,
increasing her liabilities by about
81, 500, 100000 in the decade. The
editor of "Fenn on the Funds" a
well known book Of references in
England, estimates the total increase
in the aggregate of national debts
for the years from 1862 to 1872 at
nearly S1O,OOO,000,00O. while an
additional sum of $4,000, 100000 is
estimated to have been raised for
joint stock companies. The figures
necessary to express the total vol
ume of the worlds Indebtedness,
public and private, would repre-
sent a sum almostincomprehensible.
The United States has aped this
European folly long enough. Mu
nicipal, State, and national indebt-
edness should be wiped out with
the least possible delay. This sys-
tenn of augmenting public debts
and piling up the taxes on the
products of individual industries
leads inevitably to dissatisfaction
and ultimate distress. One of the
main objects of Federal and State
legislation henceforward should be
to arrest this growing evil, and
provide for the reduction and ulti
mate discharge of all public indebt
edness within the nation. Thou.
sands in Europe and in our own
country who have invested in our
national and State bonds are living
in idleness on the interest, sup.
ported out of the earnings of our
working classes.

In giving the "slight contrast" of
Mayor Elders mode of administering
Justice - awaiting so patiently for
filed information" when infractions
Of law occurred in his presence-we
inadvertently vexed him, and he be-
came SO exceedingly wroth that he suf-
fered his natural inclination to low
scurrilfty to get the better of his dig
nity-which is very sad
Our informant, regarding the mill, ;"
mentioned it as occurring IN THE PRES
ENcE of. Mayor Elder, and that the
young man was making complaint To
him (the Mayor.) Supposing that all
complaints that were made to that dig
nitary, took place IN his office, we said
so. The only discrepancy between our
statement last week and the facts, is,
that the complaint was made TO the
Mayor, whilst he was sitting in chair
in front of Engine House No. 3, in
stead of being IN his Office, and that,
instead of His Honor's jumping about
with the agility of an elephant" he
actually sat perfectly quiet and still in
his chair, during the progress of the
fight" Our description was o. K.
with these two exceptions, and we are
only surprised that our dignified Mayor
should permit his pen to make black
guard of himself, for difference so tri-
vial!
The avalanche of cards." Mayor
Elder writes and procures to be writ
ten, for himself, policeman Macke, and
our friend Williams, does not help the
matter so far as the Chiefs fight is
concerned, or the Mayors witnessing
the same. He didn't TAKE CoGNI-
ZANCE OF THAT BREACH OF THE
PEACE, committed in his presence
That's the point.
Mr.. Macke will see, by reference to
our article of last week, that we only
gave the statement of the fellow whom
the Chiefcalled c liar" and who
fought that sinecurist 1--WE mean the
Chief in the presence of Mr.. Elder, 1--WE
mean the Mayor whilst the proprietor
Of the Phillips House will see that we
stated very explicitly, that he 1--WE mean
Williams) discharged him 1--WE mean
the fellow that licked the Chief,) for
general bad conduct" That's all.

port the same to you, and l now
respectfully request that you will
give to the committee the authority
to act in your behalf also. It seems
wise to me that the request should
proceed from me and without your
foregoing knowledge, and that you
should give to it authority to act in
your behalf in so far as thorough
investigation of the facts should be

MIR. Sherman says that the COM
mittee received the letter on Sun
day, June %, and went at work the
next day. Their action received
the unanimous approval of the ex
aiming committee of the church,
which met July 6, and the six gen
tlemen were made subcommittee
of the examining committee. They
expected to finish their labors thus
week, although they may be delayed
by the difficulties of getting wit
nesses, not because of the unwili
ingness of witnesses to testify, but
because of the absence of so many
of them from the town.

How Brethem Agree.

Resolutions adopted by the Demo
cracy of the Third District:
Resolved, That we freely recognize
the intrinsic and incalculable value to
all the people of a currency based upon
and convertible into, gold and silver,
as is obviously contemplated by the
constitution but we also deem it iu-
expedient now, while the country Ian
cuisines under the effect of the recent
financial crisis, TO attempt the resump
ton of specie payments.
Resolved, That we believe the best
interests and salty Of the people de-
mand the repeal of the national banks
and the substitution for their notes Of
an equivalent amount of grecnbacks,
to be issued on the redemption of
bonds, thereby reducing the burden
OF interest on the public debt, and
giving the people better currency.
Resolution adopted by the Demo-
cracy OF the Twelfth District:
That whereas an irredeemable cur
rency is calculated to make the whole
business of the country speculative,
and thereby affiict all reputable bust
ness with peril, continued panic and
disaster, that We are in favor of a re-
turn to specie payments as soon as it
| can be done without reduction Of
the volume of the currency, and with
out producing injury to the business
| of the country.

For once the Administration seems
to have made an appointment which
suits everybody. All the papers we
have seen approve of the choice of
Mr.. Dennison as the head Of the Com
mission for the administration of the
affairs of the District Government ad

sition anywhere that requires more
executive ability, energy, promptness,
honesty, and discretion at the present
time than the Presidency of the Dis
trict Commission. Debts have fright

ally weakened, aud complicated net

6dence in the management Of the Dis.

done the country good service already

general desire to feel thankful that so

assigned to this trying post.

The following items of news are
from the Indianapolis Journal, Of
the 18th:
THE destruction of two million
dollars worth of oil and the burst
ing of another reservoir in Massa-
chusetts. causing considerable loss
of property, are the principal fea-
lures OF this mornings news. It is
not often that oil and water mix
with such disastrous results.
ALL signs point to an early revi-
val of business and an active fall
trade. The crops promise to be
above an average. the effects of the
panic have almost entirely passed
away, money is reasonably plenty
and C ,nfdence rapidly returning.
This is the cheering news which
comes from all quarters.

letter to the investigating commit.

ing his intention of preparing full
history Of the Beeeher case, which
will be ready for their inspection

he wait until he gets his history
written before lac says anything
about it? 1t looks as if he was try
ing to scare somebody.

The Philadelphia North American
makes the pertinent suggestion that a
very large part of TIE clamor that is
raised in reference to the Indebtedness
of the Southern States is intended to
make a case upon which a demand
can be based that the United States
Government shall assume and pay the
bonds" There is good deal of force
in this hypothesis, and the election of
a Democratic President and Congress
In 1876 would probably soon be fol-
