of September, was $s,974, S916S The de-
crease for the three months from June 80 to
September 81, was $26,57S, 112.6S. The same

increased the debt from 1871 100000 to $62,-
000,O0O-while the Republican administration
decreases the debt in ninety days $26,500,0OO.

The business men are becoming intensely
concerned in the result Of the Presidential
election. This is significantly shown in the
result OF the municipal elections in Connec-
tlcut-a great manufacturing community
on the 18th. The Republicans gained in
every town. and throughout the entire
State, uniformly and largely.

Under the administration of President
Buchanan-the last of the Democratic admin
istrations-a loan of $5,0O0,000 for the pay
ment of current demands upon the Treasury,
was negotiated through the Bank of Com
merce, New York, at 10 per cent. Under the
present Republican administration, the gov
eminent has placed its bonds at 81 and per
cent, and these per cents bring 81 .OS on the
market. That is the difference between Dem
ocratic and Republican methods.

consider myself candidate in the State of

The letter of Hon. A. Fl. III. Stuart, adj
dressed to the New York Herald and re-
published in the VIRGINIAN of last week
has drawn out an able and scathing re-
Spouse from Hon. Ed. Mcpherson, clerk of
the House of Representatives at the time
Mr.. Stuart applied for admission to seat in
that body in 1865 and also one from Frank
G. Rutffn, ESQ.,, of Va, in reference to the
statement of facts by Mr.. Stuart, as to the
Committee of Nine movement, looking to
the restoration Of Virginia and the read
mission of the State into the Union and rep
resentation in Congress. We learn, also,
that Hon. John F. Lewis is preparing
statement of facts connected with that
eventful period, and reply to the presen-
tation of Mr.. Stuart. Franklin Stearns,
Esq, of Richmond. published r commune
cation in the Richmond Dispatch of the
9th, on the subject matter preached in Mr..
Stuart's letter-the history of reconstruc-
ton in Virginia.
An interview between Ex-President Grant
and Rev. DIR. Fowler, of New York, is pub
lished in reference to Gen. Hancock and his
orders in New Orleans. Referring to order 40
Gen. Grant says: II always regarded Han
cocks mere declaration in order 40,
that the military should be subordinated to
the civil power as something that everybody
accepted and nobody disputed AS officers we
were sworn to obey our superiors. Congress
was our superior, and had made the laws, and
these laws made the military subordinate. We
were acting under them, but his order made
the laws subordinate to his own opinions"
The facts of the interview and the subse-
quent explanations of Gen. Grant will be very
damaging to Gen. Hancock throughout the
North and West, and will be printed as
campaign document.

Col. James H. Skinner.

The entrance of Col. Skinner into the
political arena, as Democratic canvasser
has marked new departure, so far as he is
concerned, from the methods and manners
of his co-laborers in the same cause. His
speech at the Court House on last Court
day. in his discussion. with Capt. John Paul,
was distinguished by that high self-respect
and respect for his audience, which forbade
him from INDUCING in the vulgar abuse and
retailing the stale ISLANDERS against his polit-
ical opponents. which seem to be the stock
in trade of most of the Democratic speakers.
In speech delivered by him at Greenville
last week, be is reported as having MAIN
tanned his cause with ability and dignity.
and with no harsh or denunciatory language
against the party to which he is opposed.
We depart somewhat from our usage to
mention these facts, for the manifestation
of such a spirit modiies the >asperties OF
political contests, evokes the better senti-
ment and feeling of the people, and ele-
Yates party conflicts above the passion and
Juror of the rabble Col. SINNERS speeches
from what we learn of them-for we have
not heard him are an appeal to the iudg-
ment of his audience, and not to their pref
udices. and an effort to carry conviction by
reason and argument, and not by foul abuse
and embittered denunciation. However
far we may differ from the conclusions he
may reach and the facts and methods of his
presentations, we can appreciate his honor
able and honest intentions. and the evident
purpose to instruct and not debauch the
public mind. 1t has been so rarely the
case, in this contest, that we would be justi-
fled in this strain Of remark about a polit-
ical opponent. that we take the more pleas
ure in expressing our admiration for his in
tellectual culture and the elevated and
manly tone which has threaded through his
speeches.

Gen. Grants Speech,

We publish on our first page to-day, the
speech of Gen. Grant delivered on the oc-
casion of his taking the chair to preside over
the great Republican meeting at Warren,
Ohio. which was addressed by Hon. Roscoe
Conking. Like everything that emanates
from Gen. Grant his remarks were plain.
practical, and evincing that wonderful
common-sense which has so distinguished
his public life. After assigning the rea-
sons why he was Republican. he offered
some suggestions concerning the solid
South which have attracted attention and
occasioned some discussion OF the conclu-
sions which he reached. 1t is very evident
that Democratic oneness in the South cannot
much longer be maintained. The erup-
tions now going on in almost all OF the
Southern States, indicate dissolution of
present political organizations and the re-
formation of parties upon other than race
or sectional lines. The most potential
agency for the accomplishment OF this re-
suit, will be the success of the Republican
party in the present contest, both in elect
ing the President and choosing members OF
Congress. his cOnsummation will work
out speedily the disruption of parties in the
South, and cause reformation upon prac-
tical, live issues affecting material Develop
ment and progress and the future growth
and prosperity not only of the South, but
of the North, by reason of the closer CON-
mercial and political relations between the
sections which would follow.
As Gen. Grant says, it only requires a
break in the solid front of the South. to as
sure political revolution which will sweep
over the whole section, and develop a new
order of things for the good of both North
and South. The people are heartily tired of
sectional strife and antagonism and will avail
themselves of the opportunity when they can
throw off the plotting politician and assert
their own authority in the contamination OF
better understanding between the sec
tions. This desirable end will be has
tened by the election OF the Republi-
can candidates and Republican Con-
gress, for this will carry with it the assur-
ance that the Democratic party can never get
control of the government through section
al agencies, and the South can never place
herself right before the world, until she
cuts loose from the narrow sectional ideas
and policy of the Democratic party.
