THE New York Tribune in an appeal
addressed to the Northern Republicans
for help, says:
The Republican party is now in strup-
gle for its very life. The union of solid
South and Tammanny Hall threatens to
grasp the Government, and plunge us into
reputation or bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is figure of speech,
and what is meant by Reputation is
that the Democratic party will insist
upon the right of the people or the gov
eminent, to pay the public debt, in sill
yer as well as gold, according to the
contract So far as the "solid South :"
is concerned, it is aptly remarked that
the South is "solid" indeed against
Radical misrule. No Returning Boards
can, by fraud again divert a single
vote of the 1873 which the solid South is
entitled to. Only forty seven more are
needed to elect. New York and In
diana Gas certainly Democratic since
Morton's death as Georgia. cast fifty
electoral votes-more than enough. But
there are in addition Connecticut. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Califor.
mia. casting ~ electoral votes.
Put these in the Democratic column and
the electoral vote would stand: Dem
ocratic, 26O; Republican, lO9-Demo-
cratic majority, 151. But revolutions
never 60 backward, and the chances
are that the Democratic majority will be
above these figures.

The holders of the Tennessee bonds
offered to scale down the debt to so per
cent. of the principal and accept 6 per
cent. interest on the reduced principal.
The Senate and House both declined
the offer, the former wanting the interest
to be 4 per cent. for five years, 5 per
cent for the next five years, and 6 per
cent afterwards, whilst the latter wanted
4 per cent interest for fifteen years and
6 per cent afterwards.

Fair Play.
vance.

What is fair play in the settlement of
the National debt? 1t is to restore the
instrument OF payment to the same status
it occupied when the debts were con-
traeted. IF it is made less valuable by
the acts of legislation the creditor would
have just cause for complaint. And if
made more valuable the debtor is de
frauded to that extent. According to
Sherman, Thad Stevens, and other lead
ing Republicans, the agreement between
the bondholders and the government Cor
the people, was that the debt should be
paid in greenbacks or coin, at the option
of the latter. 1t was never written in
the bond that they should be paid only
in gold.

Governor Stones Annual Message is a
practical, straightforward paper, pre-
senting with clearness and vigor infor-
nation of the affairs of the State, and
recommending such measures as are
deemed essential by its author to the pub
lie welfare. A document which speaks
80 forcibly and plainly for itself, needs
no explanation. The numerous recon-
mendations which it contains will doubtless
engage the attention of the Legislature.
The message states that, with the excep
tion of single locality, the people have
exhibited law abiding spirit, and due
respect for the civil authorities AS we
have frequently shown in these columns
the alleged lawless occurrences, in the
counties of Pike and Amite, have been
greatly exaggerated and we are graft
fed to know that the troubles in that
region are subsiding. The people them
selves have shown a determination to
maintain the majesty of the laws, and to
enforce order. While Mississippi pre-
sents this example of peacefulness and
obedience to law, other States are not
SO fortunate. The messages of the
Governors of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Maryland abound in recitals
of terrible riots in those States
during the past year, resulting in the
destruction of millions Of property-the
tearing up of railroads.&c. burning of
cities-the slaughter of inhabitants and
similar acts of vandalism in the presence
of which the governments thereof con-
fessed their impotency, and called upon
the Federal power for protection.

IHE POLICE FoRCE.-There are now

and question has arisen as to whether
this is sufficient. We believe the Mayor
and the City Council ought to be the
best judges OF this question. But while
we deem it wise to consider whether if is
not best to make communities denend
upon themselves to a great extent for
their protection from rouges, neyertbe.
less it is not wise to have too small 9
force for the protection of property or
Ytra occasions. I'VE have now a nom,
Ation of about 10000, and have abou
me man to each two thousand persons
In the day time such force would b
more than ample.
But the force is divided between tn
night and the day. In fact we have bu
ton policemen, one to each 1000 people
and ten acctchmen. The force on duty
the day time is off duty in the night tim,
This is not given the consideration
Should I'm viewing the matter in tn
light, we deem the force insufficient an
