NoYsENsE.-An exchange states that
Hon. Gilbert c. Walker, of Virginia
intends offering proposition in the
next Congress providing for the as
sumption by the Federal Government
of all the State debts This is not
new idea. 1t was broached years ago
and the Democratic party invariably
opposed it as being contrary to thu
true theory of our institutions. Ashai
been very Justly said by a cotempora
ry, ulet the States like individuals pay
their own debts" The United States
government has debts enough to liqui
date without becoming responsible fol
any more, and it will be time euougl
for Uncle Sam to talk about paying
other peoples debts after he pays Of
his own Radical debt.

A SPECIMEN MoRALIsT-Thc title Of
Gen. o. o. Towards lecture is "An
Account of the Battle Of Gettysburg, .
a very interesting subject, doubtless
but good many people would rather
have him render an account of the
Freedmans Bank. The General had
better step down and out as lecturer
Let him and his buttics account for
the three millions of cash they cribbed
from the poor negroes while hugging
and kissing them--Judas likc--and
then robbing them. This General
Howard, like his counterpart, Beccher,
has been standing on the ragged edge
for long time, and is notorious fol
two things only-impudcncc and hy
pocrisy--nnd the sooner his friends
haul him off and Danish him from the
public gaze, the better.

ELECTIONS s-Connecticut and Mich
igan held elections on Monday. In
the former State, Governor, Legisla-
ture and Congressman were voted for,
and the latter State, Judges and Mu-
nicipal officers were elected. What
the result is, We are unable to say
this Tuesday morning. But we
shall be greatly mistaken if the Dem
omcrats have not made clean sweep
in the Nut Meg State.
LATER-Tuesday 2 o'clock p. M
The Democrats Of Connecticut have
elected their Governor, Legislature, and
gain two Congressman. The Demo
Gratis had one member and the Radi
calls three in the last Congress. In the
next Congress the rule will be re.
versod. At the municipal elections in
Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, the
Democrats elected their Mayors by
sweeping majorities. The political
breakup in Connecticut is the more
significant when we state that Grant
& Co. had all their leading stumpcrs
in the field,using money and patronage
with all the power at their command

READ TT

Our outside is taken up this week
with Senator wallaccs speech, and
1t is straightforward, legal delinea-
ton of the principles of our form Of
government, and should be understood
by every citizen of this country.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, one Of
the leading Radical organs of this
State, in alluding to the speech, says
Mr.. wallaees maiden speech in the United
States Senate on the Louisiana resolution was a
notable triumph and gave assurance that, after
long waiting, that Pennsylvania has at last o
member In that bo dy who shall have something
to say, and who shall know how to say Il 10 such
manner as to command the respect Of his. fellow
members. Mr.. walaees experience as deba.
ter in our State Senate has not been without its
good results. II gave him ft training for the
higher place and grayer duties which he was elec-
ted to discharge. Besides his ripe scholarly cul-
ture, his natural ability and his profound knowl.
edge Of American politics, Mr.. Wallace possesses
n reputation for inyineblc integrity and un-
blcmished truthiulness Of character which can
not fail to be appreciated in n body like the Uni
ted States Senate. Altogether, Pennsylvania has
good reason to congratulate herself upon her new
Senator.
To extract such compliments from
an avowed enemy, is certainly crafty
ing to every Democrat, not only in
the county, but in the State. We pre-.
dict that before two sessions pass over
that Mr.. Wallace will hold the same
position in the United States Senate
that he has held at Harrisburg, for the
past eight years.
