DEAR ADVOCATE :--Relknap and his downfall
has been the topic OF conversation for the past
few days. Look at II In any light yo1 may, tits
a sad, sad story. Now that the Secretary has
fallen, doubtless the fii at ones to throw stones
at him will be those who nave partaken of his
bounty, those who, knowing that his salary was
but $4,000 per annum. by their presence at rs
fetes aud dinners really encouraged him TO go
far beyond his means when Belhnap came TO
Washington 1t was well known that he was not
a nabob, by any means, yet IN short time he
was she acknowledged leader Of Washington
society. II is useless to disguise the fact that
as long as q man is successful in hiding his pee
ulations, or an smoothing them over, he is all
right in the eyes of those who dine and wine at
his expense, TO use slang expression, 1t is
none of their funeral" but let his evil dongs

An election of unusual significanc

An election of unusual significance
will occur in New Hampshire on Tues
day next. 1t is the first State eIr,tl, n
of this year, and it is in State whose
March contests have generally FORE
shadowed the result of the national
struggle in the following November.
Viewing the question from tl!is stand
point, it is not wonderful that each
party awaits the verdict of the ballot
boxes with solicitude. This is particu.
larly true OF the Republicans, who are
doing their utmost to save State
which they cannot afford to lose, though
the Democrats can.

FINANCES,
\ bstract Of u Speech In the House
Of Representatives, June IA,
1876, delivered by Hon.
John M. Bright, of
Tennessee.

During q speecn of two and a-hal
hours, Mr.. Bright elaborated in Il yer,
clear manner the following points, apc
was listened to with great attention BY
both the House and the occupants oil
the galleries.
In 1889 our national debt was S75,-
900 600, we had but $4,000, 900 rircu-
%lalion; so Mr., Hamilton proposed the
United States Bank to supply circula-
ton for the growing commerce. Its
charter was renewed in 1916 for 90
years, then our debt had been increased
by the val Of 1872 to 3l2G,000,0 600.
Our Presidents, Monroe, Madison,
Adams, and Gen Jackson, believed
that a national debt was Il curse, so by
1886 it was removed the specie cir
cular was then issued, and upon this
the Democratic party was badly beaten
in 1910. 1t (the c~ircular) produced
ruin and bankruptcy from end to end
of the country, But in 1874 upon q
platform Of hostility to q National
bank and the admission of Texas into
the Union they resained their suprem.
acy.
Five consecutive platforms from
1910 to 1856 inclusive contained this
antagonism to u national bank and as
serted, THAT the separation of the
moneys of the Government from bank =
ing institutions is Indispensable for the
safety Of the funds of the Government
and tie rights @Me people,"
The speech then recites the votes
upon this subject, in Congress, from
1862 TO the present. time, and says:
1.-The demonstration is complete that
opposition to national banks for A
years has been q vital and cardinal
principle of the Democratic party. 1t
is proved by tue veto of the United
States Bank act by Jackson in 1882;
by the Endorsement of his veto on his
C collection by the people; by five
national conventions by
tho Democratic vote against the ma
tional bank bills in 1868 and 1864; b,
the Democratic vote to authorize States
to tax Government securities and oh
legations held by the national banks
by the Democratic vote on the McNcc
ley resolution of January II, 1870, to
wind up the national banks, hv the
vote against the Sherman bill Of July
Z, 1870, to increase the national bank
by their vote on the Randall
resolution proposing to substitute legal
tender notes for national bank notes
by their vote on the Morgan substitute
IN the same day to wind up the ma
lonai banks and to make legal tenders
for all taxes, customs, and
'ther debts due to the United States
md by their unanimous vote against
he resumption act of January IA ,
s75. which proposed to supersedc the
aeal tender notes of the United States.

IN which Gen. Custer and fourteen
other commissioned officers, n sur

that the Indians are fighting for their

ANY one who hos visited the Iudian
Territory knows that the Choctaws,
Greeks, Chickasaws and C%berokees do
work. The latter have reached a
point Of civilization which is really as
tonlshing, But these tribes have been
let alone. They have not been hunted
down by soldiers and swindled by post
traders. If the General means the
Sioux and other Western tribes-and
it is supposed he designed to give
them a thrust-it may be said that not
a single tribe has for years had any
opportunity TO cultivate the arts Of
peace. The sword has prevented it.
so long as the tribes are cheated. bul-
lied and driven by soldiers from noun

scnsoless oppression aud slaughter Of

making them our friends and allies,
thoy are made, by gnnpowdcr and steel,
