In the United States there are exactly
two thousand national banks. This
band of brothers all work together.
They have valuable agent in Washing
ton by the name Of Grant. Formerly
he was elected President of the United
States. Asold age comes upon him his
mind turns more and more to the contem-
plation of his family, to the assisting of
his relatives, but he does not neglect the
interests OF those whose agent be now is
the bankers.
These two thousand moneyed institu-
tions operate Congress, own the sword,
hold the purse and control the President
of the Republic. Is it any wonder that
the people are not prosperous? We can
not account for the failure Of Jay Cooke
& Co.; of Henry Clews & Co.; of the
Union Trust Company; of Duncan,
Sherman & Co. We cannot account for
the stopping of mills and manufacture
ing establishments in different parts oi
the country, or why over three hundred
thousand skilled American mechanics
are out of employment. Can you?

TEN years of peace with the radical
Grant party in power have brought the
country-where? To a financial and
industrial crisis which begun two years
ago and is fast getting no better, but
rather becoming catastrophe, involving
in one common ruin the East and the
West, New York and San Francisco.
The President which the war gave us has
proven himself unfit, if not worse. Prior
to the war he was unknown, scratching
out scarcely creditable living in an OBJ
scure place, and whose companions were
stripe not occupying high seats in the
synagogue of morality. Was such man
the person to elect President when the
country needed brains, experience and
inhexible integrity? Of course such a
man is not likely to surround himself
with capable and honest men as ad-
visers; and hence we now see one Of his
cabinet ministers arraigned as a public
robber and the friend of such. And yet
this President retains Delano and enjoys
himself at Long Branch.

The Indians last year cost over eight
millions of dollars ($s, ,0S2, ,762.93) against
two and half millions o., ,629, ,975.97) } in
1864; and about the same amount in
1861 and 1862.
This tells the story. Does any one for
a moment imagine that the Indians re-
ceived any considerable portion Of this
little difference of 5,402, ,776.s67 Those
who are green enough to fancy anything
of that sort had better make the ac-
auaintance of those who know TO the
contrary. The bulk Of all this immense
sum goes in the shape of square stealing.

PUBLIC sentiment concerning MIR. De
lano and his allies is doubtless pretty ac-
curately represented by the Philadelphia
Inquirer when it says: 1t is doubtful If it
be worth while for Mr.. Welsh or other
honorable gentlemen to waste powder
further on these buzzards of the Indian
Bureau. They were brought down long
ago by decent public opinion, and any
thing additional proved against them
can not render them more obnoxious
than they already are in the estimation
of their countrymen. All that is de-
manded now is that they shall be com
pelled to vacate the places their malad-
ministration has disgraced.

A STRANGE story Is reported from
Snain. A detachment of Alfonsist sol
diers recently discovered in a secluded
part of a mountain chain cavern which
was inhabited by robbers, who had taken
advantage of the civil war in order to
ply their criminal avocations. An alcoye
was attached to this subterraneous dwell
ing, the door Of which the soldiers broke
open. They were astonished TO ind the
department decently furnished, and pro-
yided with books, flowers, and even
piano. In an easy chair sat venerable
old man. The soldiers interrogated him,
but obtained only incoherent replies. IL
has since been ascertained, from the con-
fe,sion of one of the robbers, that the
old man was the cashier Of banking
firm at Burgos; that they had broken
into the bank, stolen the safe, and taken
the cashier with them, in hopes that he
would assist them to open the safe.
During their retreat, which was marked
by many adventures, the intrepid old
man succeeded in evading the vigilance
of his guardians for a short time, and
secrsting the safe in place where he
would be able to recover il afterward.
When the booty was missed, and the
robbers failed TO induce the cashier to
reveal to them the place where 1t was
concealed, they revived the proceedings
of the famous chantea1s by roasting the
feet of their victim in order 10 extort
confession. Bot the inflicted tortnres
had a different effect. The man got
mad and it Was with the object OF re-
storing him TO reason that the robber'
bestowed the utmost attentions On him
in hopes that when he recovered hi
reason he would reveal 10 them the place
where the safe Was concealed.

Gov. HEsDRIcKs said very pointedly;
" You had better have an eye on the man
that is in Washington, rather than the
man that is in Rome" Exactly. The
fuss kicked up about the man in Rome Is
only to divert public attention from the
corruptness of the administration Of the
man at Washington. And the people
realize this.

The Democracy have gained Governors
in nine States-Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire, New York and
Wisconsin-that is to say, three in the
New England States, one in the Middle
States, three in the Western States and
two in the Southern States. The change
has been confined to no one section, but
has been radical and far-reaching in its
influences.
Four years ago at this time twenty
three of the States had Republican
Governors or Governors elect, only eleven
Democratic and three Conservatives.
That is, fourteen months before the Presi-
Dental election oflS72 the Republicans
had control of two-thirds Of the States.
Now, fourteen months before the cleo
ton of 1876, they have Governors in but
fourteen of the thirty-seven.

Thus it will be seen that since the time
of Abraham Lincoln these expenses have
more than doubled. In the last year OF
Lincoln they amounted to s47 800; in
no other year under Grant were they less
than $4,000. The matter deserves
special attention for two reasons. In the
first place II is the President himself who
has directed attention 10 the money
question in his "manly" letter on the
third term. But after all IT is not 30
much the amount Of money which he
gets as the manner in which he obtained
the doubling Of his salary, that ought to
be kept in view. The figures furnished
by the Sun are complete answer to the
Presidents claim of having made sacri-
fee in accepting the Presidency. Vir-
tually he claims that he has lost money
by becoming President And to this our
reply is that he has been paid very
literally, if not extravagantly. The
other answer has been given by Vice
President Wilson when he told Mr.
Grant-without naming or addressing
him-that the Presidency is "an honor
by the side OF which uncounted wealth
must weigh as nothing"
