THE proceedings of the mob at Lincoln

of ex-Mayor Sayles ]. Bowen and Reso-

sons who are well known to be inimical to

stances only one course is left. A mass
meeting should be called by members of

steps for regular and truly representative

THE PAT OF THE GENERAL AND LIEU.
TENANT GENERAL OF THE ARMY.

Nothing will strike the average citizen
with greater sense of shame than the pro-
posed reduction of the pay of these officers;
of course, reference is made only to those
who supported the Government during our
civil war, and as well to our opponents
who now in good faith loyalty accep. the
situation; but, let il he added, there are
blessed few of them. These grades were
created 10 reward officers of distinguished
merit, and when the officers die their
grades die also. A dozen years ago boast
full words were uttered in Congress 'that
ga grateful country knew how to reward
distinguished merit, and bouuteously it
"was villainous, in fact, to suppose that a
Republic could be uugrateful" The
General and Lieutenant General were then
granted a pay simply sufficient to live upon,
with proper exercise of economy, in car
rying out the usual courtesies and hospi-
talilies that belong to high official position.
A few years have passed, and the House
of Representatives of a grateful coun.
try propose reducing the pay of these
grades that were made as reward for
distinguished merit, and to illustrate the
gratitude Gf a coUntry!!
The House of Representatives, COM
posed largely of those against whom these
distinguished generals commanded ar
mics, deplore in Congress the 'tyrannies"
that have been thrust upon them, and,
aided by their Northern Democratic allies,
now propose to reduce, cut down, and root
out those who successfully opposed them
in war. fthe Senate of the United States,
of both parties, has not the sense of JUS
tice to oppose this vile demagogism then
has the country come to deplorable state.
So far as the pay of these officers is con-
cerned it signifies little, but as an indica-
tion of the absence of sense of justice and
of a sense Of shame even it seems porten-
tous. The ballots Of the North will have
to conquer the rebels again that their bull
lets have spared.

The supply Of fractional currency on
hand is about exhausted. The demand
continues unabated 1t comes from all
sections Of the country. There is abundant
evidence that the cost Of printing all our
currency is far more than compensated by
the amount lost and destroyed so that it
can never be presented Tor redemption.
There arc people who should now be en-
ployed in the manufacture of this currency
suffering for the want of proper food and
shelter and medical attendance. In the
face of all these facts professed Demo
cratic Congress, under the pretense of
economy and affecting great interest in all
legislation which will afford relief to the
people, halts and sets back like "mule in
the breeching" while the work of disaster
and death "goes braVely on We have a
currency famine, bread famine, a shelter
famine and fuel famine for the poor, all
resulting from sheer negligence and obsti-
macy on the part Of Congress. And this is
all aggravated by the fact that the remedy
would not ultimately cost the Government
cent. Ga the contrary, it would be a
source of revenue
National Republican., 1876-03-28

THs last United States Ire lsurer's re-
port shows that there are yet outstanding
upwards OF three million dollar of the
first series (postaD fractional currency.
As there were only $500 of this series
presented for redemp,io during the last
fiscal year. it is fair to suppose that the
most Of the remaining three million is lost
and destroyed. and will never be presented
for redemption. OF the next or second
series Of fractional currency there is a
somewhat larger amount outstanding, aud
there was presented for redemption during
the last fiscal year only Sc, 500 of that series
Of the later series the amount outstanding
is of course very much greater and the cur
reucy newe" and less worn, but should the
order go forth for the redemption of all the
issues in coin, and its cancellation and de-
structicn, the probability is that from three
10 five per centum Of the aggregate amount
could never be found. There is no data
by which TO reach an exact estimate, but
the above may be relied upon as approx
mateiy correct. TIE cost of printing and
distributing this currency, on the other
hand. is calculated to have been less than
one fourth Of one per centum on the aggre-
gate sum Of all the issues. Judging from
these estimates, the Government of the
United States realizes a very handsome
profit from the currency business, and it is
a profit made out of the carelessness and
misfotunes of those who suffer the cur
rency to be destroyed upon their hands.
Its destruction is no fault of the Govern
ment, which stands ready at all times to
redeem it or exchange it. But the gain
from its destruction accrues to the whole
people in their collective capacity as
government

Ok SUNDAYS now Governor Chamber
lain, of South Carolina, complacently
wends his way to the Presbyterian church
and worships with the proud, but impover-
ished, aristocracy. A few years since he
attended colored meetings, and in 1870,
when one Of his children died, so great
was his prejudice against his own race
that he would not allow white minister
to perform the last rites, but called in a
colored preacher, Of the name Of Harris,

it is before the courts in a proper manner,
having been sent there by Speaker Kerr in
compliance with existing laws, the House
will assume the arbitrary 20 ger of depriv-
ing a citizen of his freedom, and refuse to
him the refuge to which every American

Nov the House will have an oppor-
tunity to disprovG the charge that it has

the Riibourn case. Ii has been discovered
that 10 interests Of the Government or OF
any officer Of the Government were in
volved in the transactions of the Great
Recusant, and he has been indicted for the
misdemeanor Of which it is alleged he has
been guilty. To keep him in confinement
any longer would simply be TO exercise a
cruel tyranny, and possibly involve an un-
pleasant controversy between the legisla-
