The above table shows that during the
fifteen years of peace under Republican
rule 37,1O4, ,S236S of the public debt has
been paid, and that the annual interest
charge is 81 900, 600 less than it was at the
close of the war.
Compare this worthy record with the rec
ord the Democrats made in the last fifteen
years of their administration of the Treas
ury, the fifteen years of peace from 1S47 to
1861. In these years the public debt was
increased S43, ,137, ,032.35, while the cash in
the Treasury was reduced to 50, liz, ,41S.6O.
As the result of Republican honesty in pub
lie affairs during the fifteen years covered
by the statement referred to, per cents.
command premium in every financial mar
ket in the world. The result of the Demo-
cratic management for fifteen years is seen
in the fact that in the year 1861 Government
6 per cents. were sold at an average rate of
$50. 10 per 500, while in 1860 the Govern
ment was actually'compelled to pay II per
cent. for money borrowed to pay current
expenses.

Gently reached New York, is probably the
most voluminous of female authors, and
her works embrace great variety of sub
Jects, such as science, art, history, philoso-

culture. She is native of Bucharest, fifty
years of age, and her early education en-
braced, in addition to her mother tongue.
Latin, Greek, German, English, French, Ital-
ian and Russian. She proposes to remain
in this country until October, and will spend
the month of August in Boston. She ex-
poets to write book about our country on
her return. The Princess travels with no
other companion than her maid, an Italian.
In 1867 Col Forney said of Hancock:
when Gen. Hancock arrived and took COM
mand of the Fifth Military District, from
every Rebel throat went up songs and
shouts of joy, as his plans were known to all
OF them. With sneer and jest they meet
Union men and say, Now is come our day 4;
Gen. Hancock has arrived and will see us
righted.' The whole policy of Gen. Han
cock so far foreshadowed, tends to prove
him Enthusiastically opposed to the provisions
of the Military bill, and warrants the asser-
ton OF his entire sympathy with the old
Secession element of this State louisiana
and city New Orleansl who now find in
him a true friend"

Hon. Rufus P. Ranney, of Cleveland, is
acknowledged to be the first lawyer in Ohio.
He is Democrat of the old school; and has
a thoroughly consistent record. His criti-
cism OF Hancock, therefore, is both author
itative and sincere:-General Hancock has
no record as statesman; has no knowledge
OF politics or politicians; and in case of
election his Administratic , would be that
of a military man. Do the Democrats, who
have had so much to say of late in regard to
bayonet rule, desire such President? 1t is
safe to say they desire any kind of Presi-
dent they think they can elect. They will
concede anything for the hope of victory.
But like the case of Horace Greeley, they
generally concede too much. They become
inconsistent and show that their only de-
sire is office. The great giant known as the
American people desires consistency. and
rebukes every barefaced attempt to gain Of
flee at the expense of principle.

NEW YORK Times: When Democratic
papers are full of accounts of Republican Sc
cessions to the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, it argues very strong doubts
OF the potency of the Democratic vote to
elect the President of the United States. Tn
1872 there was quite startling consensus of
opinion as to the moribund and disrupted
condition of the Republican party,
and yet the Republican maiorities of
that year were what is called phenomenal"
And when, in addition to its daily record of
republican recruits, the Democratic press
reminds it's readers that, while the military
training of Grant may be 'sdetestable
thing" the military education of Hancock
may be something to be admired,n the par
allel OF 1872 is still more obvious. To take
up Republican candidate because he was
supposed to represent the policy of reconcil-
iation does not essentially differ from the
policy of adopting Union soldier because
he is assumed to furnish guarantee of the
loyalty OF the party which nominated him.
Both nominations belong to the category Of
makeshifts, and the latest will prove as TO-
nominious failure as its prototype.
