government were 81, ,297, $50 224 In 1873 the
expenses of the United States government were
S236, 1854 ,326.
Put the repudiating South in control of the
United States government, and the credit of
the nation would be worse than it was under
the last Democratic administration
In 1865 the bonded debt of the United States
was So, ,3S1 ,520, ,294, with an annual interest OF
S15O,9 ,977, ,597. In 1879 the bonded debt is 81 :
7gT 643 700, and the annual interest $S3 773 77S

The last Democratic administration was in
1860, when James Buchanan was President.
The United States government was then forced
to pay equal to t,cetre per cent. for the use OF
money. Now the United States government
has funded the debt contracted i'll putting
down the Democratic rebellion at JoW per
cent.
Southern States under Democratic control
viz, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, georgia,
South Carolina and Tennessee nave repuql-
| ated their debts. This is the main part OF the
| '.soid South that seeks to control the gov
! ernment of the United States. One OF their
! State rights is to repudiate their debts.

Revealing Their True Character.

The Robinson, Tammany fight over inspec-
tors of elections lets in flood OF light ON
the character of the New York City Demcc-
racy. The work of election inspectors is
simply to see that there is a free and talr
election, that everybody has chance to vote
who has a right TO, and that the votes are
correctly counted. Of course, if he be hon
est, it makes no difference whether the in
spector is Tammany Democrat or Robin
son Democrat Nevertheless, the Court OF
Appeals was convened in special session
over this matter, and the Police Commissions
ers are sitting up nights overit.
Why, then, all this fuss over the appoint
ment of men who have nothing to do but
what any honest man of ordinary intelll-
gence can do. The only explanation posi-
BILE is that the Democrats know one another
and consequently distrust one another.
Tammany objects to Robinson inspectors
simply because it believes they will cheat.
And for the same reason the Robinson DEM
ocrats object to Tammany inspectors. A
quarrel has betrayed the Democracy into ad-
mitting what the Republicans have long
claimed, that a fair election in New York
city with the Democratic party in control of
the election machinery is an impossibility.
The law appointing supervisors of nation
al elections was enacted in view of the exis-
tenc of just such state of things as the
Democrats in New York now admit to exist;
it was simply for the purpose of securing a
fair election. The Democrats demand its
repeal solely because while it is enforced
fraud at the polls is rendered extremely
difficult, if not impossible. ThcI pretence
that vot ers are intimidated by deputy mar
shals is made simply for the purpose Of
throwing dust in the peoples eyes. With
that law off the statute-book there will be
virtually nothing to prevent the New York
Democracy or the Cincinnati Democracy
from doing just what this Tammany-Robin-
son quarrel is an admission they are disposed
to do-whatever cheating may seem to them
to be necessary or desirable.

DIR. SIMPSON, a physician who resided for
nearly forty years in the South, has just
reached New York, having barely escaped
with his life from the hands of his Demo-
cratic neighbors. His only crime was his
devotion to the principles of the Republican
party. The Tribune says that while address,
ing meeting he was seized, the meeting
broken up and several colored men were
killed. He was imprisoned in an iron cage,
stripped Of all his clothing, and he only es-
capped through the Intervention of friend.
He rode and walked for several hundred
miles, most of the way without shoes, to
reach point from which he could embark
safely for the North. In view of the fire.
quent occurrence of such outrages as these
it is no wonder that Mr.. Tilden has come to
the conclusion that a Democratic nomina-
ton for the Presidency is not worth much.

/. The controversy between the Robinson
and Tammany factions of the Democratic
party of New York has advanced a step by
the decision of the special session of the
Court of Appeals. The court held in its
opinion which was delivered Monday, that
mandamus to compel the police commits
sioner to appoint election inspectors could
not be granted until the first of October, as
the commissioners were allowed until that
time to comply with the law. The court
also held the election inspectors must be
divided between Tammany and Anti-Tam-
many. This decision will probably render it
impossible for the Anti-Tammany ring to
secure all the Democratic inspectors, as was
their design.
