CAMP MEETING The Washington Grove
Camp Meeting Association caused the tents of
their encampment to be struck on Tuesday
morning last.
The Camp was in many respects failure
Our people from the county manifested little
or no interest in it during its progress, not
wthsiandng its accessibility, being located
in the very heart of Montgomery county. An
idea has gouc forth, uufounded we hope, that
the country people were not welcome to par
ticpate with their brethren from the city in
their religious festivities on such terms of
equality MS they would alone accept.
misunderstanding Of this nature can be
easily explained and corrected and we have
no doubt hut that the next Camp meeting will
be a more successful reunion Of the Methodist
Brotherhood and he blessed with greater in
gathering TO the Lord.
The two Sabbath days of the Camp poured
into the beautiful grove several thousands of
persons Of both sexes and all sizes, mostly
however, from the City of Washington.
On Monday night last the religious expert
ence meetings were prolonged into the late
hours of the night and it is said by our con-
temporary, the National Republican, that
there was considerable rowdyism on the
grounds and that the roughs came from Rock
vile and Laytonsvlle. We hurl this foul
Islander back in its teeth and are forced for
disorder we perceived at the Camp was per-
petrated by Washington bulies.
To PosTMAsTERs .--PoStmasters of the coun-
" through whose hands our paper pass
es, would greatly oblige us by being
more careful in the distribution of the SsNrI-
MEL to its subscribers. Almost daily are we
called upon by some patron to account for the
frequent non-appearauce of the SENTINEL. In
answer to this inquiry, we say to all, that
their papers are mailed regularly, and their
inability TO obtain one when calling at the
postoffice can only be attribute to the care
lessncss of the postmaster.
1t is surely unpleasant for us to refer TO this
matter, but we are compelled to do so for some
postmasters become so neglected. of their duty
as to permit bummers to take from the pigeon
holes journals which belong to others, and
when the proper owner calls no paper can be
found. Immediately, the subscriber applies
execrable epthcts TO the publisher, and oft
times discontnucs his paper. II may seem to
the postmaster TO be small matter. To him
it might be, but to community which takes
paper it is great matter.
We only address those postmasters who are
derelict in their duty, and trust for the future
that they will be more attentive TO tire bust
ness which is intrusted to them, and in which
so great number of people are interested,
hut should they persist in the indifference of
duty, aud complaints continue to come to us
We shall find from headquarters some effective
remedy.

There is nothing improbable in the
superstition that an old man who had
a distinct recollection of the great fact
of the M~ecklenburg Declaration should
unconsciously use some of JefersOn's
familiar phrases IN trying to reproduce
It from memory.
1t may be news to u readers in
this connection that the Government
is striking off Mecklenburg medals at
the Philadelphia mint, with the tradi-
tional Hornets Nest" and bearing
the date May 20, I775. The preparing
Of these medals is a purely business
transaction, like the coinage made for
foreign countries, and they are sold to
applicants at cost. The officials how
ever are careful to warn purchasers
that the Government does not guar
antee" the accuracy of either date or
legend.

MIR. McCULLOCH's FOURTH LET
TER.

AA
The fourth of Mr.. McCulloch's let
ters on national finances is published
in the NeW York Tribune of the 8th.
He says that the amount of the public
debt Of France is unknown. 1t GER
tainly is twice as much as the present
debt of the United States. The K
PLANTATION can only be found IN the fact
that France when not engaged in war
has been, as she is now, preparing for
war, and that all her previous existing
governments whether monarchical, i'm
perial, or republican, have lacked the
nerve to raise by taxation the revenues
which have been required to cover
necessary expenses. Here is a strong
point by Mr.. McCulloch, and it is one
that should be impressed deeply upon
the American mind, individual and
public. Upon the rigid adherence
to this plain principle must depend
private and public financial prosperity.
If we have not the nerve to raise by
taxation the revenues required to cover
necessary expenses, let us have the
nerve to reduce the expenses. Mr..
McCulloch adds:
The standing army has been at the
bottom of all the financial troubles in
France, and it is her standing army
and the standing armies of other coun-
tries that menace the peace Of Europe.
1t is the increasing armies of the lead
ing military powers of Europe which
make the public mind here and else
where sensitive and apprehensive.
These armies are not created for the
preservation Of the peace; they are the
preparations for war; they mean war,
and nothing else. Germany, the great
military power of Europe, not only
maintains a very large and thoroughly
drilled regular army, but she has en-
rolled all her able-bodied men, of all
classes and conditions, In what may be
called a well-trained militia. France Is
attempting the same thing; and is it to
be supposed that Germany will wait
until France considers herself strong
enough to assume the offensive before
she strikes again at her old enemy? Is
France arming without the in
tention Of attempting the re-
covery Of the provinces she
has recently lost? Are Russia and
Austria Increasing their armies simply
4 protect their own territories from
invasion? The large and increasing
armies Of Continental nations are not
only menacing the peace of Europe,
hut they are depressing the people with
taxes, and checking the growth Of ma
tions by Withdrawing millions of men
from productive industry. Were the
armies which are now In preparation
for wal disbanded, there would be no
breaches Of the peace between nations,
and there would speedily be no national
debts.
Our own financial troubles are due,
50 far as the Government is concerned,
to an increasing army, not of soldiers,
but Of Office holders, whose rapacity is
in proportion to their number. The
people will not learn until the Presi-
Dental election of 1S76lsweeps the Re-
publican party from power, how cheap
ly they can be governed, even while
carrying the enormous public debt
with which they are burdened.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1875-05-11

that they are forming plans for
the conquest of our markets,
they maintain carefully heavy
duties upon foreign grains. CHANGING
at the American tariff, 1 find the
duties on grain imported into the
United States are as follows Wheat,
twenty cents per bushel; wheat -four,
twenty per cent. ad valOrem; Indian
corn ten cents per bushel; Indian
corn meal, ten per cent. ad valorem.
So astounding a piece Of Inconsistency
must open the eyes of the Americans,
who are a reflective people. The United
States have had In some respects
their Richard Golden IN the person of
David Wells; up to the present moment
they have wanted their Robert Peel;
now he viii be found because he has
become a necessity.
The salutary effect Of free trade on
the wealth Of nations is deliberately
treated of by NJ. Cheyalier, but that
we shall reserve oranother article.

AnERICAN loans IN EUROPE

1t is stated by the London hrestOr's
Manual that the total amount of pay
ments to be made in May, on account
of European subscriptions to Ameri-
can loans, is only f2S0,0O0. This Is a
very exceptionally small sum, as may
be Inferred from the fact that the pay
ments made IN May last year aggre-
gated e, So, $50, and that the average
monthly amount for the first four
months of this year has been 9l,625,-
375. The significance of this fact to
our exchanges is that the sum we can
draw this month against foreign negO-
tiations is some S6,600,000 below the
average monthly amount. This has a
very obvious connection with III cur
rent large shipments Of specie.
