The GRANT advocdtes are talking OF the
terrible decline In Governments which IL to fol-
low the election Of TILDEN, but they seem to
hald on to their bonds all the same. II the
risk is so great, and since TILnsSs election
Is so Imminent, why do we not lid Governments
declining and unusually large saes of them
going Oh. instead Of seeing them firm, and the
quantity offered not greater than usual7 The
fact Is, this talk about tho Injurious effect on
our credit OF the election OF TILDEN Is all clap
trap, and no one knows II better than the des-
perite Republicans who indulge In It., and who
all the time cling to tneir Government bonds as
their secarest Investment for the present and
for the future.

Gov. TILDEN has this great advantage
over Gov. HAYES AS practical admins TRAITOR of
the Government: He knows his men. HAYES
IA a stranger to the public men OF the country,
man who owes hia position to a compromise
and an accident. lie Ia Inc experienced in dealing
with the details Of administration, and ignorant
OF the tone and temper, the abilities and vary
ing characters OF the politicians - the different
sections. TILDES has been leading ian la po-
ltlcal Affairs for generation, a Trainer OF poll
cies, student OF nnance and alton, and his
wide aud intimate acquaintance with the public
men Of tho country OF an parties and every
section will enable him to select his
agents with accurate knowledge of their
influence and capacities, aud to deal with
the interests of all p~.ts OF the Union with
a clear unde OF the wants Of each.
We have not had in the Presidential chair in the
lifetime Of the voters at this election a man go
fitted for It's responsibilities by reason OF char
acter and training, and executive aptitude, az

The OLD DEcLARATlON-HOw TIE FA-
NOUS PARCHMENT LooKs-THE LEGIBILITY
OF TIE SIGNATUREs.-The patriotism OF the
average American was forcibly attested
yesterday by the continual rush to view the
"only and original" Declaration Of indie
pendenee. During the day not less than
5000 people scrutinized the musty piece Of
parchment that created such a stir in the
world one hundred years ago. Ordinarily,
the daily attendance does not exceed 1000.
The text OF the document is as clear and
distinct as when John Hancock and his
compatriots, regardless Of the threats
OF King George and his minions, put
their fists to tile same. But the vandals, in
search OF .fac-similes, have not been as
friendly rs old Father Time. In taking q
proof the signatures were moistened, and
in consequence many Of them have faded
into empty space. John Hancock's name
is dim but distinct, but the signatures Of
Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Ro-
bert Morris, and others OF equal fame, have
entirely disappeared The best preserved
signatures are those Of Roger Sherman, Ro-
bert Treat Paine, and Step. Hopkins. The
names OF John Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Will
liam Whimple, Samuel. Huntington, and
several others, are also very clear. Several
experts closely examined the document, and
expressed the opinion that the lost sigma
lures could be restored by chemical agen-
cies. Philadelphia Times, 9th.

GLASS AND IRON BUSINESS IMPROVING
From the Pittsburgh Gazette.]-We are
gratitied to state, as the result OF careful in
Quiry, that our iron and glass interests are
in more healthy state than they have been
for long time past. The combination
formed among the manufacturers is working
satisfactorily and smoothly, and while, since
the advance in prices, the flow Of orders has
not been large, it is in excess Of what was
expected. This is a favorable circumstance
at this time. 1t shows that our manufactu-
rers are making profit, and the trade con-
tinues favorably active with them. 1t has in
it an outlook Of business revival that is par
ticularly cheering.
