THE WAY TO MEET SLANnERs

Mr.. Jones, of Kentucky, few days
since delivered carefully y-prepared speech,
in which he gave pretended statement of
the debts of ten of the reconstructed States,
and charged that ''the negroes and carpet
baggers elected at the dictation of the
"party in Federal power" had involved
these States in debts aggregating the sum
of S2S4,O0O0O0. Among the ten States
enumerated by Mr.. Jones was Arkansas.
It's ante belIum debt was placed al less thsn
5000, 600, and its debt on the 1st of July,
1872, at S19, 7G1, 900, the reconstructed
State government being charged with hay-
ing increased the debt SIS, 600, 900. Sen
ator Clayton, on the day before Congress
adjourned. exposed the falsity of MI. Jones
figures as to Arkansas, and his exposure
leaves the inference that Mr.. Jones was as
untruthful IN regard to the other States as
he was about Arkansas. Senator Clayton
showed from a report furnished by the
present State Auditor, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Arkansas, that the
debt Of Arkansas on the 1st of July, 1876,
was only SIT, ,306, 900. He then proved that
81, 432, 600 of this debt had been created by
the Democrats since they obtained posses
sion of the State government in
1873, showing that in 1872 the
debt was only s12.S74, 900, and that
Mr.. Jones had made a slight error
of So, $50, 900 in the sum of $19, 761 900.
Senator Clayton did more than this He
proved by the statement of the Demo-
cratic auditor that nearly 100000 of
this debt was a relic from Democratic
rule before ''de waugh" and that $1,000
900 of 1t was caused by the Democrats fail
ing to pay the interest on the debt. He
asserted (and it is susceptible of proof
that s, 900, 600 of the floating debt was
chargeable 10 the Democrats, as it was the
amount expended in putting down the Ku-
klu1 in 1858 He also showed that the
only debt chargeable to the Republicans
of railroads and levees, and that the Dem
ocrats by repeating section Of the rail
road law had converted the loan made by
the Republicans to the railroads into a
gift to these corporations. The levee
bonds issued by the Republicans, and in
cluded by Mr. Jones in the debt, are also
shown to have been based on the bonds.
reclaimed, and that over one third OF them
have been redeemed in lands.
Senator Clayton thus tn oroughly ex.
posed the falsehoods of Mr.. Jones In re-
lation to the debt Of Arkansas. This ex-
ample should be followed by the RepublI-
can Representatives of other States, as it
is no doubt true that Mr. Jones was guilty
of disappearing other States as he did
Arkansas, he having obtained his figures
from the minority report Of the Ku-Klux

bank notes which are redeemable in gold on
demand" The second section provides that
''every contract or obligation made or implied,
and payable within this State, and made or
implied after January 1, 1879, and payable in
dollars, but not In a specified kind of dollars,
shall be payable in United States coin."
Gov. Tilden signed that bill and made it the
law of the State, as it now stands in full force.
He has thus provided that after January l.,
1879, every taxpayer in New York must pay
his taxes and every debtor must pay his debts
in gold, or in national notes redeemable in
gold, which amounts to the same thing. And
now, after imposing this absolute and peremp-
tory requirement upon the people of New
York, he and his party openly declare them
selves against, and vote to repeal, the United
States law which provides that the United
States Government shall redeem its notes in
gold on and after January |, 1879.
That is, Governor Tilden compels the tax
payers and debtors of this State to pay in
gold, and at the same time does all he can to
leave them no way of obtaining the gold by
striking down the Federal law which requires
the United States Government to furnish gold.
He compels the taxpayers and debtors of this
State to pay, If not in gold, then in national
notes redeemable in gold ,and at the same time
assails and tries to overthrow the Federal law
to make its notes thus redeemable in gold. He
compels the taxpayers and debtors of this
State to pay in gold or gold notes, at whatever
premium gold may be, while he would leave
the Government and people of the country at
large TO pay in deprecated and irredeemable
paper.
The provision that call taxes" and ''every
contract" within this State must be paid in
gold or gold notes is positive and unqualified.
If the United States resumption law stands,
| then gold and gold notes will be the regular
currency, and there will be no difficulty In the
| payment. If it does not stand, then taxpayers
| and debtors must go into Wall street and buy
gold at whatever high figure this sudden and
large demand may create. And yet Governor
Tilden and his party, while thus compelling
the people of New York to pay in gold, at the
same time aim their deadly blows at the re-
| sumption law which provides the means!
Such is the amazing position in which Gov
| ernor Tilden places himself by his betrayal of
principle and surrender to the repudiationsts
"a position utterly disgraceful to himself and
| disastrous to the people. Not one word can
his supporters say in defense. There is no es-
cape. Such an attack as Mr.. Tilden makes
upon the public honor, after signing such a
law in this State, is not merely fragrant
piece of demagogism, but crime against the
peOple,

committee, a document known to be un
reliable in every way.
ECONOMICAL REBEL DAMAGES.

1t is a well-known fact that international
law prohibits the payment for the use and
occupation, for the ravages Of war and for
property taken as military necessity ex-
cept quartermaster and commissary stores.
This rule was adopted by Congress and by
the Southern Claims Commission. The
Committee on War Claims in both the
House and the Senate have scrupulously
stood by this rule, refusing to even consider
claims not within it, and it has not been
broken until the late session, although
most persistent efforts have been made to
secure its relaxation. 1t was reserved for
the ex-Confederate House to break over
this established precedent and to
ignore laws recognized by all nations.
There are now nearly thirteen hundred
such cases before the House Committee on
War Claims These claims include every
thing except perhaps charges for the use
ofwater from running streams. The Re
public magazine shows that one hundred
and sixty nine of these claims average
$11 600 each. At this average the amount
required to pay the bills now before Con-
gress would be nearly $4,000, 600, and
this would be but drop in the bucket if
the principle that such claims are to be
paid is once recognized. The very
smallest calculation made Is that
over $500, 100000 would be re-
quired to pay the claims of this class,
and the probabilities are that the amount
would be more than double these figures.
Mr.. Riddle, of Tennessee lately introduced
a bill in the House which provides that the
Secretary of War shall pay all such claims
in the same manner and under the same
regulations that compensation is now made
for quartermaster stores for the army. No
proof of loyalty is required, and the affidavit
of the claimant and the evidence of one
reputable citizen is all the proof that is
needed. Could the economical ex Confede-
rate House make this bill law it would
appropriate between five hundred and one
thousand millions of dollars. or course
the Republican Senate would under no cir,
cumstances pass such bill, nor would q
Republican President sign it; but should
Mr. Tilden become President by the votes
of the Southern States he would not hest
tate to do so. The ex-Confederates intend
to continue these demands, hoping in time
to obtain power, when the country will be
at once taxed to pay this class of claims.
How do the loyal men of the country like
the idea of paying for the damage done to
the plantations of the Wade Hamptons,
Buffers, Pillows and other rebels Of the
South?
