The above figures show net saving dur
ing President Grants administration of $63-
4O5,4 ,4S1, an average annual reduction in the
net ordinary expenditures of over SO, 900, 900.
On March 1, 1869, the principal of the pub
lie debt was $2,525, 1853, ,26O. and on Aug /
1876, it was S2,o9s, ,3OI, ,311, showing reduc-
tion of S627, 161 ,949. The average annual
reduction in the principal of the public debt
during President Grants seven years in Of
flee has been over sixty million dollars, and
the decrease in the annual interest-charge
during the same period is S31 ,2S5, ,2S1.
This exhibit is conclusive evidence of Re-
publican economy, and proof that the reduc-
tion iniexpenditures for which Democratic
House is claiming credit has been steadily
practised by Republican administration for
the last eight years. Let the credit be given to
the practical and not TO the sham econo-
mistS.

IT Is growing more unpleasant for Candi-
date Hendricks every day. Not long since
an item appeared to the effect that when the
war broke out Mr.. Hendricks was member
of the First Presbyterian Church of Indian
apolis, the pastor of which, DR.. Nixon,
preached sermon declaring it the duty Of
loyal and Christian people to stand by the
Government. Upon this Mr.. Hendricks sew.
cred his connection with the church and ney-
er returned. This is true, but it is only half
the story. About the same time, the Rector
OF Christ Church (Episcopal) in the same
city was secessionist, named Horace String
fellow, whose disloyalty was so pronounced
that his congregation rather summarily ter
minated his clerical labors in their behalf,
and he was about to return South when the
rebel element, headed by Thomas A. Hem
bricks, organized church and installed
Stringfellow as rector. They built house
of worship which they called st. Paups, but
which was better known by various nick
names suggestive of sympathy with the re-
bellion. Mr.. Hendricks was one of its first
vestrymen, aud is now, or was lately, one of
its wardens.

WILL the Argus please state what disabil.
ity Mr.. Blaine was under in 1881-more than
year before he was even nominated for Con-
gress-from becoming interested in the Spen-
Ger Rifle Company or in any other mauufac-
turing company? The Argus, it is true, per-
sists in saying that Mr.. Blaine was paid fof
his services by the company in 1861 the sum
OF fifty thousand dollars, whereas the sum
was only six thousand dollars-about the u.s.
ual discount on argus statements. But
whether it was six or fifty or five hundred
thousand, what business has the Argus 10
make or meddle with it? 1t appears by Mr..
Blaine's letter. which the argus graces its
columns by publishing, that he was interested
in the Spencer Rife Company some twelve
years or more, beginning with 1851. During
four years ofthis time the company was deal
ing with the United States Government. the
remainder of the time with private contracts,
and the very letter published by the Argus
relates to settlements more than seven years
after the war closed and after the Government
had ceased to have dealings with the company.
There was scarcely manufacturing COM
pany in New England with which the Gov
ernment did not have dealings during the
war. Were the stockholders of those COM
panies to be thereby disabled from serving in
Congress? If Senator Fessenden or Repre-
sentative Lynch had owned some shares in
the Portland Company were they to be dis
aoed because the Government contracted with
that company for some marine engines for
naval vessels? A thousand questions of the
same kind might be asked to show the utter
absurdity no. to say knavcry Of such hypo-
critical cant as the argus is continually put
ting forth on this subject.
But, says the argus, Mr.. Blaine legislated
for the benefit of the company he was inter-
ested in. That large fact is as follows: An
the manufacturing companies in the country
found that, after they had made time con-
tracts with the government for certain arti-
cles, the government advanced the tax on
the same and this changed the basis OF the
contract in their own favor and against the
contractor. Everybody complainrd of it and
the manufacturers of all classes memorazed
Congress for relief and as soon as the matter
was brought to the attention of Congress the
change was made allowing the companies to
add the tax to contract prices. It was 80
obviously equitable that no one objected to II
when il was understood. Mr.. Blaine, in
common with many other members, presented
memorials on this subject and he suggested
the form of law for relief to Mr.. Kasson Of the
Ways and Means Committee. 1t relieved
the Spencer Rife Company Of an unjust bur
den but it relieved it only in common with
every cotton, woolen and iron MILL every
shoe factory and every other manufacturing
establishment. And that is all there is of It

RpyeHue Matters.

WAsHINGToS, September 27.-The
Internal Revenue Commission has is
sued circular to the L. 5. Attorneys in
New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Mil
waukee and other important collective
districts in various parts of the country,
authorizing them To institute suits
against all parties against whom evidence
can be PRESENTED OF not having
paid the whole, or any part, of
the taxes due to the Government,
under the law providing for the
tax upon incomes. Thi. will
render persons liable to suit for such
recovery from the date at which this tax
frst went into effect, and the Commits
sioner entertsins the opinion that the re-
suit of his action will be to recover a
considerable sum of money to the gov
ernment. The consolidation of various
internal revenue districts recently decided
upon. will all be perfected by the first of
October, and the new order will then go
into effect.

of the expenditure of money have been

should its honors be misappropriated. =.
Let no one presumptuously claim it as
party triumph. 1t was movement OF
the great body of the people, irrespec.
tive of party distinction. The honest
citizens suddenly took the management
of their own business into their own
hands.
But it was not, we repeat, the work of
any one:psrty-it required the union of
honest men of both parties. And that,
warm thanks to the intelligence.
energy and courage of prom
inent merchants, bankers, lawyers and
others of both political parties, was glor-
iously successful. :.
Among individuals, however deserving
others are of commendation, it will not
be deemed lnvidious to say that to Will

From the N. Y. Times of Nov. Is, 1871.
"After battle is fought and victory
won it will generally be found that those
soldiers who are the most boastful oftheir

credit for their valiant deeds, are the very
men who, during the progress of the fight,

themselves behind trees and hedges.

the exposures of the Tammany thieves,
and in spite of all the efforts of Mr.. Til

DEFEND OR KEEP MUM.

A gentleman of this city, who has just
returned from tour through Ohio, says
that the political excitement in that state
is nothing in comparison to what we
would suppose it to be, considering the
importance of the contest He says you
rarely ever hear politics talked on the
cars or in public places, as is usual in
times of intense political excitement.
While the political meetings are
we'll attended upon both sides, it
is evident that most people come
TO hear the arguments OF
the speakers rather than to hurrah for their
tsyorite candidates. The masses of the
people are quiet and thinking. The
Radical leaders are not aggressive, as o.
old They see plainly enough their
dilemma. If they discuss politics, they
must defend their party, with all its sins,
its corruptions, its extortions from the
people its expressions of business and its
destruction of our prosperity. They may
howl "bloody shirt" and "solid South"
from the stumps, where they have no an
tagonist to reply, but in most other
places they prefer to keep mum. 1t is
reduced to necessity with them; they
must defend the party policy which has
brought ruin to the country, or they
must keep their mouths shut-hence the
quiet of the campaign. The Democrats
are charging down upon them all along
the line with grape and cannis-
ter, but they sculk and dodge, making
faces at you as they run, bowling "Rebel
debt" and "Solid South" Our
friend tells us that the De-
mocracy are certain to triumph In ONO
next Tuesday week; he says you feel the
coming victory in the air, that its evil
dences penetrate your bones. So conf
dent is he of the correctness of his con-
clusions, that he would not give any one
two cents to insure a Democratic ma
iority in Ohio of 10000 for TILDEN and
HENDRICKS.

VI. RIstics ON the Situation.

BELGRADE, September 27.-M. Ristlcs,
the Servian foreign minister, last night
sent a note to the English and Italian
consuls recapitulating complaints against
the Turks for bre eches of the armistice
and pointing out that collisions would
continue to occur if hostiiities were mere
" suspended for eight days as proposed
by the Porte. The note of NJ. Ristics'
concludes us follows: 81 take the liberty
of requesting you to make known that
the Princes government legrets 1t Is
unable to order tie prolonga.ion of =
state things, which experience has shown
to be impracticable. The government,
at the same time, expresses an earnest
wish for the conclusion OF the formal
armistice under such conditions and Of
such duration as would lead to the attain
ment of the end in view, namely, peace.
At the counci, of minister: held yester-
day, over which Prince Milan presided,
it vas decided TO reject the conditions of

and the Porte. The council also re-
solved that Servia should not submit,

Moravs by the Turks. There were also
