The summing up of these figures shows
that the fifteen Democratic States, including
South Carolina, have debt of 1912, ,2O5,539,
not including several years. accrued and un-
paid interest, while all the other states have
debt of $1O9,OOO,OOO, Of which S71,OOO,oOO
are due by Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts,.
The plan of Governor Walker is that Con-
gress shall assume all this debt, issuing ma
tional bonds therefor, and pay the iaterest
thereon annually, or in other words that
over two-thrds of the people, who owe less
than one-third of the state debts, shall as
sumo the payment of two-thirds of the state
debts now owed by less than one-third of tae
people, The payment cf the indebtedness of
the fifteen Democratic states is TO be made
over to the Republican states which now pay
three-fourths of the national taxation. These
latter states have been taxing every energy to
pay off all their own debts, and are now
threatened with an added burden. The
Southern Democracy will gladly thrust upon
Northern states the payment of $212, 900, 600,
and will look upon the action in the light OF a
just retribution for the disasters inflicted in
the war.
All that is necessary to carry this scheme
into effect is a majority in Congress. The
Democrats control the House, and they hope
by 1876 to win a majority of the Senate, and
to elect their candidate for President. Then
they will be prepared to adopt the measure

The death of John Hick man reduces the
list, already small, of the notable men who
fought the battle of liberty in the XXXIVth,
XXXVth, and XXXVIth Congresses. In
the first Of these Congresses Mr.. Hickman
broke loose from the Democratic party, and
supported Mr.. Banks for speaker. He took
decided stand for freedom in the Kansas con-
test. In the XXXVIth Congress his reply
to one of the Southern fire-eaters electrified
the country. In answer to threat of seces-
sion, made in 1858 by Mr.. Curry of Alabama,
he said: eff dissolution means that there is
to be division of territory by Mason and
Dixon's line, or any other line, say no,
that will never be. The North will never
tolerate division of territory" Mr.. Hick.
man was the first to advance the opinion that
the President was invested with the most
ample powers to suppress the rebellion, and
was also the first to advocate the enrolment
of negro troops. In 1872 he went into the
"LiberaP' movement. At the time of his
death he was 65 years old.

GEN. OGLEsBY of Illinois is doing good
service in the Connecticut campaign, and in
speech made at Bridgeport mas fssisy stated
the position. The Southern leaders may not
attempt to forcibly dissolve the Uuion again,
but, once in power, they will make it Union
hardly worth having. The Democrats in
sist that the government shall be turned over
to them; but what claims have they upon
the public confidence? During the last dozen
years all they have done has been to object
when the laws were enforced, life and prop
erty protected, peace maintained, and the
public faith kept inviolate.

TOBY CANDoR says that the fact that the
Eastern managers control a majority of the
stock of the Maine Central, did not prevent
them from giving Maine majority OF the
board of directors. No; dear Toby, it was
the statute of the state which requires that a
majority of the directors of railroads in this
state shall be residents of the state, that pre-
vented them from selecting majority from
the Eastern Railroad directors.

A GREAT many people are looking to see
what answer the stockholders of the Eastern

of Judge Shepley, that the stock of the Maine
Central necessary to control the organization
was purchased by money taken from the
treasury of the Eastern Railway Company.

ratified by the Board of Education. The
matter is now in the hands of the grand jury.

for the relief of the South at the expense OF
the North. 1t will be seen that the success
OF the plan depends entirely upon a Demo-
cratic victory in 1876. Those who do not
care to pay the debts of the ex-rebel states
will have an opportunity to express their
dissent by their votes.

A PAINFUL account comes from Connecti-
cut of Intervention in public building, and
of the election of citizen therefrom by
armed force. Gen. Green, the chairman of a

he accused the presiding judge of lying. Will
the people of Connecticut permit this out
rage by Republican official TO pass unre-

THERE appears to be grave misapprehen-
sion as to the degree of civilization of the
ancient tribes of the Pacific coast. The gen.
eral opinion is that they were little better
than savages. But Mr.. Hubert Bancroft in
his history, says that they. used to make cigars
about three feet long. A tribe which has the
faculty Of multiplying its joys to so great an
extent as this must be far indeed from the
savage state.

The designs of the Democratic leaders are
daily becoming patent. The Southern wing
is resuming its old-time preponderance in the
councils of the party. and the dogma Of
state rights has been revived in all its force.
In accordance with ancient policy Northern
man has been put forward as spokesman, and
Senator Eaton of Connecticut, reactionist
of the most pronounced type, announces
from his seat in the senate chamber that the
states are sovereign nations. The theories of
'9S are still avowedly the foundation of the
Democratic creed. But danger nearly as
alarming as the revival of these pernicous
heresies, and one more Immediately affecting
the welfare of the country has just been
brought 10 light. 1t is a plan for Congress
by legislation to assume the legal indebted
ness of the several states. The interest Of
the Democracy in this plan will be at once
seen when it is remembered that the fifteen
Democratic states have debt of two hum
dred million dollars, while all the other states
have debt of one hundred millions. As
the treasury has passed under the legislative
control of the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives, and as the South controls the
Democratic majority, the plan is not so CHI
merical as would at first appear. 1t should
be remembered that the South is chatting un-
der its great burden of debt, that it believes
1t unjustly incurred, and that it will not be
over-scrupulous in ridding itself of the bur-
den-its financial history is ample evidence
of that.
The note of alarm was first sounded by
the Chicago Tribune, journal which cannot
be accused of bitter hostility to the South,
nor of dealing in needless alarms, nor of Sec
tional prejudice. 1t points out that the DEM
ocrats are in a wrangle over the matter of the
speakership; that the Southern Democrats
are in majority; that in order to get rid Of
the wrange between Northern contestants
for the presiding officers chair, they will
choose Southern man that the man whom
they have in mind, and whose claims they
are already pressing is Gilbert G. Walker, ex-
Governor Of Virginia. In view of this proba-
BILE result Gov. Walkers political plans be-
come of much Importance. Just before his
retirement from the governorship he submit
ted two propositions to the legislature Of Vir-
ginia. These propositions were: 1. The as
sumption and payment by the United States
Government of all the existing legal indebted
ness of the several states. 2. A constitution
al amendment prohibiting the creation of fu-
ture Indebtedness by the states. Upon this
platform he sought nominate to Congress,
received it, and was elected. The list of debts
which he published in connection with his
propositions foots up as follows:
