ferred from this sentiment Of their
standardized in the late campaign,

in measuring the influences of the Vir

Gas to the full and final payment or Ii
quidation of the present enormous nation
al debt, he that knows the American peo-
pie and their utter deficiency III tie high
qualities Of truth aud integrity knows that
such an expectation is but an IDIOTS
dream. For ourselves, we shall rcJoice
when the crash comes. 1t is debt con-
tracted in the prosecution of an infamous

THE idea of filling up the canals and
making dry land streets in Venice seems

it.
THE troubles and scandals Of the Hayes
administration constantly increase, and
now the wave Of corruption rolls up to the
hem of Schurz's robe. The prosecutors of
claim for supplies lost by Indian depce-
dations allege that they had to pay the
chief clerk of the Indian bureau IS 600 to
get the congressional appropriation.
TIE New York Sun, assuming the role
of the historian, declares that while the
Republicans lave carried the elections un
der Arthur administration, had Garfield
