Our friends must be patient and
5all Of hope. We assure them that
all will be well. Hayes, we are
panied to say, will be declared
President Of the United States,
which is rs great q surprise to
him as to US. That be was never
elected, either BY the popular or
electoral vote Of the States, be, as
we'll as every man in the Union,
Knows full we'll. The fact il, we
have reached the end OF popular
elections, and the finale of the
American Republic. We will now

President Grant persistently re.
fuses to succor Packard-positire.
" declines, in fact, to recognize
him. That he does not recognize
Nichols, we can we'll understand,
but the fact Of his not rushing to
Packard's assistance, we take a.
q favorable indication for our

The Nichols government is one
that time will strergthen-it is
built upon the hearts and arms of
a people who are determined to
sustain it or perish. Packard's eff:
fort is an abortion that time will

removed, will dispel itself into

Our people will be surprised to
learn that the "newh government
has adopted the cold" idea of con-
Quoting the financial affairs of the
city, which will end, Of course, as the
other governments dil-in bankrupt
icy. With the best start a govern
ment has ever yet had with US, ex.
cept perhaps the first, tile brangtet
government set the example of de-
preciating their own issue.
With available assets of 8,8l4.46
beyond her liabilities, the city begins
to deprecidte those assets 83b per cent
on the dollar, and that too on the
very threshold Of their administra-
ton.
The Board just relieved, by two
years. ee"uomy-during which all
pay and issoe was suspended entire,
managed to get the city out Of debt
and ahead, brt the new government
goes to the other extreme, and, while
declaring the money worth IS, 80 or
80 cents on tire dollar, proceed them.
selves to depreciate it 38t per cent.
There are certainly some tinaciers
on the Board, and We beg OF them to
look to plain question Of Arithme-
tic in this matter. If tho issser De.
preciates his own paper 81 per cent,
the public viii depreciate it 60 per
cent, because they will lose conf.
dence 10 the city's ability to- redeem
it. The fact Of depteciating their
own script by the Board, gives rise to
all these suspicious.
There is but one way to keep this
city ont of debt. The Board may
try thousand other plans, as Cor
porate Bodies have before, but they
will fail. That way is to collect the
taxes for the current year, l876-in
United States currency, contracting,
and paying for all work J." cash. The
taxes due on years previous to 1876,
can he collected in city paper, and
the back taxes of 1875, and "a, will
swallow up every dollar Of the city
scrip now out, and require four thou
sand dollars currency on the part Of
the taxpayer to meet their delinquent
taxes.
If this city Board Intends to do
anything to keep Us from drifting back
into debt, they had better put a stop
to discounting their own paper. 1t is
an evidence of utter financial igno-
rance to see it done, aud the public
will be quick to end it out.
