seryatiye members of Congress to over
throw the conspiracy, should it reach
the halls of the National Capitol. Ey-
cry fair man in the country realizes
that General Garfield was elected hon
eStly. The increased and overyhelm-
ing Republican majorities in all the
Northern states prove that. IL New
York has been the only state in which
such an increase was shown, thenfhe
might be some FEASIBILITY for the
charge OF fraud and colonization: but
the vote in New York for Garfield
does not, in its percentage Of Republic
can increase, exceed that of other
Northern states. Messrs. BarnuIn and
Kelly may as well prepare to receive
with as good grace as possible the
storm Of disapproval about to break
upon them from Copperheads il the
North and disappointed Confedelates
in the South.
One of the interesting features Ct tue
Forthcoming report OF Comptroller
Knox will be the tables, and the tom.
mentS upon them, showing the extent
to which the circulating medium of
the country has decreased within 4
year. That we should have decreased
at all, Notwithstanding the large Influx
Of gold from abroad and the products
Of the mines in the West, is an interest
ing and singular fact which has for
some time furnished subject for dis
