he has been studying the financial question
for many years, and that he is very earnest

all along that what he advocated was for

very charming and accomplished lady and a

after this daughters education. She is a
generous and very charitable woman. John
owns beautiful home in Mansfield, Ohio,
and also in Washington, and he lives com.
fortably and well, but he has never made
one dollar out of his position as public Of
fcer. What he has he made in his profess

Ohio, in which he has long had an interest

The CoLoRED ExoDUs.-Governo st.
John of Kansas writes the secretary of the
District of Coumbia's emigrant aid society
that the tide Of colored immigration con-
tinues in an almost unbroken stream, and
unless checked by the quarantine regula-
lions established along the Mississippi, there
is no telling just when it will stop. We
find it very difficult, with the means at our
command, TO relieve the necessities of the
refugees, but are doing the best we can, aud
have thus far prevented any actual suffering.
1t seems to me the people of the North do
not comprehend the magnitude of this move.
ment, otherwise they would certainly take
greater interest in the matter. Our freed
mans relief association has extended aid to
about four thousand destitute colored peo-
Pile and expended little more than $4,000.
We have obtained employment for them and
placed them in such situations that they
are now self.sustaining; but it has cost a
great deal of money. We have received
some aid from abroad, in fact, from certain
sections of the country, quite liberal dona-
tions. The city of Cleveland, Ohio, has
given $1,000, but the great city of New
York, so far as l know, has not given that
many cents. What is needed is money.
Our funds are nearly exhausted aud whether
we shall receive further contributions moth
ing but the future can determine. OF one
thing, however, you may rest assured young
Kansas will not falter in her duty toward
this people, and only wish the entire
country would wake up to the magnitude OF
the movement"

Every thrifty business man makes fire.
quent examination of his financial affairs,
and enjoys IL all the more when the result
shows him TO be in an increasingly thrifty
condition. And in a good degree II is, or
ought to be, so in respect to our national
affairs. A few years ago the annual inter
est on the national debt amounted to hun
dred and fifty millions. Now it is reduced
to about eighty.three millions. The aggre-
gate interest on the different classes of
bonds is equivalent to an average rate of
four and twothirds per cent on the whole.
By the close of the present administration
the interest will be reduced below seventy
millions. AS it now stands, the annual in
terest charge is reduced about seventy mil
lions-one.half of what it was at the close
of the war Here is net annual saving of
so much, and it has been accomplished by
the Republican financial policy in the face
of persistent Democratic obstruction and
hostility. Our burden of interest, from be-
ing one of the largest in the world, has be-
come less than that of any other leading
nation. The annual interest on the British
debt is one hundred and forty million dol
lars-nearly twice as much as ours now is.
In France the interest charge is still larger,
being hundred and fifty million dollars.
In connection with this subject, the Boston
Advertiser directs attention to the fact that
there will be a surplus revenue after paying
the interest charges and all ordinary ex-
penses. "The appropriations by congress
for the current year amount to Sl62, 404,6 4s.
Interest being added the expenses will be
little more than s246,OOO,OOO. The yield of
customs will probably be as much more than
the secretary's estimate last November as
the internal revenue will fall below it. If
this should be the case, the surplus for the
year will not fall short of S20,000,000."
This amount will increase the resources of
the treasury, and make it still stronger. 1t
will be an additional guarantee of the main
tenance of resumption and of the ability of
the treasury to meet every demand.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST ia, 1879.
Our Union School.

Perhaps il is hardly matter OF surprise
that the recurrence of the annual meeting of
Montpelier Union School brings to the sur
face the hostility to the institution which
has frequently shown itself since its estab-
lishment. This time the attack seems to be
aimed more directly at the Grammar School
departments its continuance being declared
to be a useless expenditure of money. One
would suppose that a school which offers all
the advantages of an academical education
to every child within the limits of the dis
trict, al an expense of not exceeding from
forty to forty-fve cents on the dollar OF the
grand list, would stand in no great need of
labored arguments in its defence, and that
a simple statement of the case would be
sufficient to enlist all thoughtful citizens in
its cordial support. Nor do we, at this time,
propose to enter into any discussion of the
question.
As to the charge that the teachers in the
Grammar School department are employed
by committee of the trustees, in whose
election the voters Of the district have no
voice, we understand it to be true that since
the establishment of our Union School no
teachers of the Grammar School have ever
been employed without the concurrence of
majority of the prudential committee Of
the Union district, elected at its annual
meeting.

Not Yet Settled.

Our fishermen in the Gulf of st. Lawrence
are not yet in smooth waters. Although
we have paid to the British government
several times the value of all the fish that
can be caught in those waters by American
vessels for years to come, the colonial au-
thorties still seek to embarrass our fisher
men by technical and unauthorized inter
pretations of local laws and by their vexa-
tious enforcement. The complaints set
forth that through the interference to which
our vessels are subjected under the cover of
these local regulations our fishermen are
practically denied the privileges secured to
them by the treaty. For instance, they are
prevented from using their seines in catch
ing squid for bait although the right of
fishing at all becomes nulity if they are
precluded from taking bait. They might
as well be precluded from carrying their
seines in their vessels. Under those cir
cumstances the country will be glad to learn
that Secretary Evarts has not only opened
correspondence with the British government
in regard to those complaints, but has also
dispatched the Kearsarge, a man-of-war, to
the scene of strife, to look after our fisher
men and protect their rights. On board
the Kearsarge have been sent the attorneys
who managed the case for our government,
that all the facts in the case may be OBJ
tanned. The dispatch of the Kearsarge will
serve at last to give that protection to our
men in the exercise of their treaty rights
which they have right to demand, aud the
commissioners who accompany her will
make a statement Of the lawlessness and
violence which will be official in its nature
and therefore indisputable. We paid five
time to know for what.

ONE Congressman Rainey
gives graphic description of the method
of carrying the " shotgun policy" into ef-
feet. He says "On the night before cleo
ton, firearms are blazing all over the South.
In every direction, in the fields, in the
woods, around the cottages of the colored
people, especially along the roads leading to
the polling places, is the incessant firing of
guns and pistols to be heard all night long.
Is it surprising that wide alarm should be
the result 7 Imagine the effect in New
York. What would become of Tammanys
majority if the Republicans of New York
were allowed to keep up a continual flu
silade all night just previous to an election?
Even the Irish voter would be deferred from
going to the polls by considerations affect
ing his personal safety"

A Coop ILLUsTRATIoN.-Thec case of Eli
Ice, now and for many years prisoner in
the West Virginia penitentiary at Mounds
vile, is an admirable illustration of the diff
ference between the North and South on
many important matters. In 1862, while
Ice was on guard over some rebel prisoners,
one of them attempted to escape, and not
responding to Ices orders to halt, was fired
upon and killed. This was a plain act of
soldierly duty be was put there for that
purpose, and had he not done as he did he
would have incurred severe punishment. A
court martial was called to investigate the
affair, and finding the facts to be as we have
stated acquitted Ice of all blame. He went
back TO his company, and served creditably
until the end of the war, when, returning 10
West Virginia, he was arrested on a warrant
from court, on charge of murder, and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life. Had the
conditions been reversed such thing never
would have happened. Had Ice been rebel
guard he could have shot down as many
Yankee prisoners, on as slight and INSULT
cient pretexts as he chose, and no court-mar-
tial would have ever troubled him and af-
ter the war, if any attempt was made to
hold him to a responsibility for his acts, it
would have been suppressed in the interests
of Cancellation" No inquiry was ever
made into any of the hundreds of brutal
and unprovoked murders by the guards of
Andersonville, Belle Isle, Salisbury, Flor
ence, Cahawba or Columbia, and none of
those redhanded assassins were ever made
to suffer moments inconvenience on ac-
count of their deeds.

STUBBORN FAcTs.-The Toledo (Ohio)
Blade says "Times must be very hard, for

farmers are selling everlasting quantities of
wheat at good price, they get their goods
at very low rate, mechanics are generally
employed at fair wages, and everybody who
will work fluids something to do. Every
city in the United States is building rapidly,
and the country never showed such marked
signs Of improvement. Manufacturers are
running on full time everywhere, mills that
have been for long time idle are resuming,
and they find ready aud profitable market
ior all they make. General Ewing asks us
to reverse the policy that has produced these
bene6cent results and try his theories. Elk
cuse us. We are doing very well now,
thank YOU"

to the number of about seventy-five, to celebrate
the fifth anniversary of their welded life. They
were considerably surprised at first at the unex-

calmness and made things very pleasant for the
company. The evening was passed in social con-
verse and singing, Miss Nye presiding at the
organ. Remarks were made by Rev. b. S Adams,
congratulatng the happy couple on their good for
tune in reaching this the first milestone in their
married life, and wishing them much pleasure in
the future. The collation. was frst-rate, as we
always get at that house. On the breaking up of
the party they left nice little purse of money for
the purchase of such wooden articles as the bridal
pair might see fit, and called it very pleasant
