N Matthew f. Maury who, at the be-
ginning of the war, had charge of the
National Observatory in Washington, in
a long letter to the London Morning Herald,
gave the following estimate of the losses
of the South during the war:

az" Would Democratic Adminstra-
| ton reduce the public debt az the rate of
nearly $4,000, 900 per month? No one
| believes it would. Let well enough
alone" is a good and practical old motto.
! AT present the enormous public debt
brought on by a Democratic war, is being
swept away in gigantic monthly INSTALL
ments. AT the same time, our National
taxes are merely nominal, and our Nation
| is prospering, in a season of hard times,
as is neither England, Germany nor any
| other great nation of the world. Then
why any change in administration, except
the change which would come by placing
| lican patriot and statesman at the head of
affairs? Why change when the best of
| national management is now ours? Why
a change from the party that queled a
rebellion, and is fast lquidating the debt
and reducing the taxes which it caused to
the party which waged the and created
that debt and those taxes? Ponder these
| questions. Chicago JoufR0l.
~" One Of our friends, veteran of

wounds received in the service, tells us OF
case worth repeating. He says he often
/ discussed the situation with a neighbor of
| his, VINO could see no righteousness in a
war to coerce the South, and always
! stoutly maintained that, though a North
ern man, he could live and prosper at the
| South as we'll as anywhere. He did not
| happen to be drafted, and no amount of
| bounty would induce him to volunteer to
! fight his Southern brethren. A year or
| two since he was induced to try how well
| he could do, and went South He has
since come back, leaving his property be
| hind him, and with very decided knowl-
| edge of, and aversion to, the ku-klux.
/ In fact, he had TO leave to avoid being
| murdered, and has become SO much 4" re-
/ formed" by his experience that he told
our friend if he only had the opportunity
! he would shoulder his musket and bay
