GOVERNOR HENDRICKS, in his signal gun
or keynote speech out in Indiana the other
day, did not con6ne himself to the strict
limits Of the truth in his criticisms of the
financial policy of the Republican party.
His information was certainly not at fault,
and his intelligence is conceded. II is there
fore probable that he was guilty of willful
Of facts. He charged Cen
eral GRANT and President HAYES with hav-
ing converted our debt into foreign
debt" The truth is that It has ever been
the policy of the Republican party to max Q
the debt q domestic loan, and the utmost
efforts have been made consistently and
persistently from the days Of President
LINCOLN and Secretary CHASE down to the
present time. But the best answer to Mr.
HENDRICKS falsehoods is to be found in the
fact that each succeeding days record of the
business of the Treasury Department shows
that the 4 per cent. loan is now being sub
scribed for in our home markets ~
rapidly as it is abroad. 1t is also true that
the repudiation or fiat-money theories OF
such Western Democrats as Messrs HEN.
bricks and VOORHEES, have had the efiec,
to destroy our credit both at home and
abroad.

In speaking of AcKLES, who has Just
been renominated for Congress by coustit-
uency no better than himself, the Charlotte
(N. C.) Observer takes occasion to indulge the
following remark regarding the WELcKER
scandal:
Indeed, u appeared very carly after the story
was put afoat that II was q Radical falsehood,
designed to ruin him politically and personally,
and when AcKLES went to work 10 probe for the
bottom facts, the Radical press-the Washing
ton REPUBLICAN frst-took water very quick
ly, and announced It's belief in Mr.. AcKLEss
entire innocence.
We pronounce this deliberate "no-such-
"a-thing" 1t was not Radical falsehood'
unless RossER and AcKLEs and their fe-
malo companions upon that occasion are
Radicals for the main facts of the case
oozod out through them. Nobody else had
the news until some of them peddled It
And we desire further to say that the Wash.
ington REPUBLICAN, has not taken water on
that matter; neither has it expressed any
belief sin ACKLEN's entire innocence !" fol
it entertains no such belief The proofs

the contrary, and too available for such 9
charitable indulgence.

HON. EDWARD MCPHERSON.

MCPHERsOS's Handbook of Politics for
1873 Is highly valuable publication. No
editor or politician of note can afford to he
without it. The information it contains,
which we have briefly referred to heretofore,
is most conveniently arranged for reference,
and Is also of character which the pub
licist is in constant need OF. The practical
intelligence brought to bear upon the COM
pilation and arrangement of the matter
contained in this number, as well as in the
selection of the matter itself is attested by
the character Of the contents. There is
nothing in the book which could well have
been omitted, while the whole is compact
ly arranged, with appropriate headings and
introductions indicative Of the nature and
importance of the subject discussed, The
information is non-partisan and official, and
is therefore alike valuable to all
parties, This number is especially val
liable as embracing in its con-
tents the full and official history Of the
Electoral Commission and its operations in
connection with the count Of the Presi-
dental vote of 1876. The contents also
comprise the legislation OF the Forty fourth
Congress on the finance, labor, and internal
improvement questions, including action
on the eight-hour law, the names of public
men, party platforms, SC, &c.
Mr.. MCPHERsoS, though still young
man, has had a rather remarkable career.
lie has been journalist a farmer, Repre-
sentative in Congress, Deputy Commissioner
OF Revenue, Clerk Of the House OF Repre-
seutativcs, author of various literary and
political histories, Chief Of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing, and Regent OF
the Smithsonian Institute, and has

PosTMAsTER-GESERAL KEY finds in the
arguments of the Southern Democratic
leaders very little to encourage him TO be-
lieve that sectional Cancellation is on the
eve of accomplishment. One Of these ar
guments is embraced in tho inquiry. Who
holds your bonds P" and the answer, North
" erners, altogether; men who murdered your
" fathers and sons, and robbed you of your
" households The logical deduction from
this question and answer Is, that " to pay
" these bonds would be an outrage" This
sentiments is the controlling influence among
the yindictive BOurbons Of Judge KEY 5
section, and it will require many years and
many KEYS, LoSGsrREETs, and MosBYs to
counteract it. When tho Southern people
have patriotism enough to begin to invest
their surplus money in Government bonds,
or to recognize the Government in any way
except Ms their enemy and oppressor, it will
be time enough TO trust them with further
participation in the control Of the Govern.
ment As tho matter now stands it Is Ger.
tain that such control would simply result,
in the utter repudiation of tho nation's
credit The Government bonds are Yankee
securities, and the product of Yankee ings-
nuity in the estimation of the South. Theii

DEMOCRATIC sham economy, as illus
trated in the appropriations ior the Land

ment of land titles and delay the granting
OF homesteads to settlers upon the public

protect the timber thieves in their depreda-

is anything the average South Carolinian

he does not thus ache in every tissue of his

he has not been sufficiently conciliated, and
that is what the Administration would like
to find out, After finding 1t out, the next

straightforward and opcn-mouthed scces-
sionist who is honest enough to say So He

the reasonable heresies he lived up to and
believed during the war, and which once

the Constitutional amendments are uncon-

emancipation of the slaves was unconstitu-
