congress

fails to adopt prompt

measures for the immediate reduction of the great burden of taxation, it will certainly fail to comply with the clearly expressed wish of the people. All good citizens would rejoice, no doubt, to Fee the National debt extinguished. It would be a happy consummation that might well' inspire the profoundest gratitude. But its immediate extinguishment—or its entire liquidation within the next ten or twelve or fifteen years—as proposed by Secretary Boutweix, is possible only through such a csurse of toil, pacrifice and burden-bearing as should not be required of this generation, superadded to the sacrifices of the last ten years.

It is true that we inherited no debt from our fathers but does that fact (Jebar us from honorably transmitting to our successors a portion of the present mortgage on the national estate? Did not the fathers of the Republic plant in the Constitution the seed of the war the irrepressible conflict—and thereby ^foreordain the rebellion and the debt resulting therefrom? We, at a fearful cost, have eradicated slavery have made the union of the States permanent have improved the estate transmitted to us to an extent compared with which the national debt is but a trivial affair have dug out the rotten timber in the governmental structure and replaced it with that which is sound and will be lasting have developed national resources, and have started —for the first time—on the broad, clear, firm highway of continuous progress and enduring prosperity. Thus we shall pass over to the next generation the national estate immeasurably more valuable than when we entered upon it and we ask any sensible man if justice or expediency forbids us to transmit, with the estate, a portion of the debt unavoidably contracted in its permanent improvement? There is a limit even to the demands of patriotism, and we think the American people of this generation, having exterminated slavery crushed the great rebellion reorganized the shattered Republic gridironed the land with railways pierced it with thousand upon thousands of shafts, whence mineral treasures will flow for centuries to come built up millions of manufacturing establishments, that will roll their flood of wealth, in ever-increasing volume, upon the generations of the future changed countless league* of howling wilderness into fruitful plains, dotted with hamlets, villages and citie? —we say that the present generation of the American people, having done all this, and so much more that reams of paper and torrents of ink would not suffice for their slightest mention, arc not required, in justice or expediency, to toil wearily the residue of their days for the extinguishment of a debt incurred for the benefit of all future ages, and which, were it not reduced at all, would be but a small incumbrance upon the national estate as that estate will stand thirty years from today. We repeat what we said yesterday) it is all that we ought to do to pay the interest promptly and very gradually reduce the principal. And Congress will do well to heed the popular cry for reduced taxation.

earnestly

endorse the sugges

tion of a Philadelphia cotemnorary that there should be more stringent laws passed protective of stockholders and banks depositors. Scarcely a day passes that we are not called upon to record one or more defalcations by bank, saving fund or other corporation officials, certain amount of responsibility must be lodged in these persons the machinery of banks, saving funds, &c., is of a char acter so complicated and ponderous as to forbid the opportunity of overhauling it every day. To do so, even if it were pos sible, would require a double set of officers and accountants—one set being always employed, to watch the other. This would be too cumbersome and expensive What is needed is a law so plainly drawn as to catch and hold defaulters, forgers aiul gentlemanly officials guilty of "clerical errors." There has lately been too much of this "clerical error" business, and the sooner that cashiers, tellers, and the like understand that mistakes which entail immense losses on stockholders and depositors will be punished by imprisonment, the sooner their mistakes in arithmetic will cease. &

The Amendment.

Ratifications roll.in so rapidly that it is difficult to keep posted as to the exact status of the amendment,but at the present writing we believe the number of States that have ratified it is twenty-five, as follows: ^.T 1 Nevada, 14 Connecticut, 2 Louisiana, 15 Florida, 3 West Virginia, 16 New^ampshire,: 4 North Carolina, Virginia,

Illinois, 18 Vermont, 6 Michigan, 19 Alabama. 7 Wisconsin, 20 Kansas, 8 Maine, 21 Missouri, 0 Sonth Carolina, 22 Indiana, 10 Pennsylvania, 23 Minnesota. 11 Massachusetts, 24 Mississippi, 12 Arkansas, 25 Rhode Island. 13 New York,

By the 1st of March, it is probable that the twenty-five States above mentioned will be joiml by Iowa, Ohio, Texas and Nebraska v-hich will be one more than is needed to make the Amendment a part of the National Constitution.

I The London Post puts forth the sensible opinion that only the proposed Canadian Pacific Railroad will save British Columbia from annexation. Now, inquires the New York Tribune, who will build this great iron liarnibnizer, which, we suppose, must be made to pass through the State of Winnepeg? The tendencies the feelings, the representations of the people of Columbia upon this subject of annexation, are genuine, as Mr Vincent Collyek has again explained. American politicians are not responsible either for the despairing loyalty expressed in the Columbian petition, or the pressing necessity for annexation.

From the New York Clipper.] A PASCHOSETTE.

"Little Cricket, ever wicked," Bare and poor as poor can be. Dancing in the golden son light 1 (All the gold you're like to gather.} Ever laughing, foil of glee, •Much I wonder, little cricket.

If the crusty churls who dole Charity as'twere-a favor. Think that yon possess a soul.

Every household has its "cricket," Chirping round the cheerful hearth Some are fed on sweets and dainties*.

Some have proud and lofty birth, Fondly watehed by tender mothers, Loved all other things beside. Petted by fond sisters, brothers,

Of some father's heart the pride.

Maggie Mitchell is a ''cricket," Of a very different sort. Not the cherished, petted cricket

In the snug,warm fire-place caught. For unless chance sends them thither, All the crickets best we know. Chirp in fens and lurk in grass-plots.

Happiest where the fire-flies glow.

Round about us gather daily. Crickets of tho "Fanchon" type, Clad in rags, with eyes that glitter,

Hair as glossy, lips as ripe, As the daintier, wealthy type Some are "Mother Shipton" witches Wallowingin the side-walk ditches

Flourishing their awful brooms. Running for the chary penny, Glad indeed if they get any,

Bread to eat or place to sleep in, j? Orphans of the heedless town, Reckless of their several dooms. Others, impish, elfin creatures, Dirt begrimined in clothes and features,. Reft of parents, reft of teachers. vji

Knowing onlycuffand frown, Peddlars, beggar?, gutter ranger?, Show no trace of the divine, Save it's by their meriy laughter, (Poverty can't check their laughing) And the ever present glitter fM':

Of their eyes—the soul's sunshine

Fanchon, tako what shape she please!, Has a chaste, immortal part, Dress the waif in costly raiment,

Treat her gently, from the start, And the gaudy thing that flashes On the sight 'neath gaslight's glare, Calling for denunciation

From your pulpits everywhere p. May not live to scathe and enrse jou_, For the mischief you have wroughtT Leaving her amid the by-ways,

Only in crime's promptings taught.

.j "Little Cricket, ever wicked." v" 'v' As that ringing laugh is heard, *J .From a snowy throat that twitter=

Merrily as any bird.

^There's a lesson full of meaning If we but the warning heed— J-i ,Tramplo not the harmless crickets—t

So may heaven your mercy speed.

.„\T The Iowa Senators.: From-tho Iowa State Register.] George G. Wright, who has been nominated by the Republican caucus for the long-term Senator, was born in Indiana, in the year 1820 was a student of the Indiana State University, from which he graduated in 1839. After leaving school, he read law with his brother, Joseph A Wright (afterward Governor of Indiana, and at the time of his death Minister to Prussia), at Rockville, in that Slate. In 1840 he came to Iowa in hunt of fortune, and gettled in Van Buren county, where he resided till 1865, in which year he re moved to Des Moines. His first office was prosecutor of Van Buren county, and his next that of State Senator from the same county for two terms—1849 and 1850. He was a Whig, and continued in that faith till that party died, and the Republican party was formed. In 1853 he received the vote of the Whigs for S. Senator, but the Whig vote then was but like the Democratic vote now, and the compliment, therefore, was empty. In 1854 he was elected by the Legislature Chi6f Justice of the Supreme Court of the State. In 1850 he was nominated for the same position, but declined. In 1859, however, Judge Stockton, of the Supreme Court, died, "wlien,^ Governor Kirkwood, unsolicited, tendered the position to Judge Wright, which was accepted.—

This appointment was made in June, In November he was elected by the people to fill out the unexpired term. In 1855 he was again nominated, elected,and is now serving out the term. In 1867 he was tendered the Presidency of the State University, but declined was one of the founders and professors of the Iowa Law School, and after the State assummed charge of it was elected by the trustees to the chair of constitutional, criminal and real property law, to which he has given part of his time up to the. present. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon hint by the Iowa College, and afterward by the Iowa State University, and also by his Alma Mater.

Of the contest for the Senator for the short term we have room and time ®nly for brief mention of the successful candidate, leaving further comment on the matter for another issue. James H. Howell, now the editor of-tlie Keokuk Gate City, emigrated from Ohio to Iowa in the year 1840, and, like Judge Wright, settled at Keosaqua, in Van Buren countyat which place, in 1844, he commenced the publication of the Des Moines Valley Whig. In 1845 he bought the Keokuk Register. and removed to that place. In 1846 he merged the Whig into the Gate City which journal he is publishing at the present time. Is a graduate of the Miami University, of Ohio. Has been a tireless worker in politics for twenty-five years, and until now without reward. It will be remembered that he was presented, by the Iowa delegation in Congress last winter, for the Guatamala Mission, which was given by Grant to Silas Hudson, of Burlington.

The Three Great Evils of the Nation al Capital. Washington swarms with beggar boys. Knowing the wide-spread destitution now prevailing, one cannot help sympathizing with the poor little fellows. They never ask for more than a cent, and they always tell you they had nothing to eat all day. Sometimes this is true, sometimes false. But take them to a bakery, and in eight cases to ten, they willboltaan amazing quantity of bread. Most of them are little darkies, and they starve or stuff, as the case may be, most philosophically. They are a great nuisance, these begging brats, and yet, poor little things, it is not their fault. Another nuisance, in the Capital, at the White House, or on the avenue which connects the two, and in all the leading hotels, is the swarm of lobbyists,the log-rollers,the wire workers, the Third House, the button-liolers— variously so termed—which one meets at every turn. iStill another—•indigenous to that part of the capital termed "The Island"—is in the shape of hogs and dogs and apropos of this let me condense for you a story from one of our dailies: Once upon a time, a seventh-warder died, and went to Paradise, but found his entrance barred by a black mark against his name. ProJJ fane swearing" was the charge, St. Peter said. "Well, it's no use trying to rub it out," said the Island man, "I did cuss the infernal hogs and dogs in eur ward. They're enough to makeasaint swear.'Said St. Peter: "You are from Washington, then?" "Yes." "Well, then," said the sainted key-keeper, "you may pass right in. While I tend this gate nobody ain't agoing to be kept out for swearing at those hogs and dogs. They're the awfiillesten earth! Why, their squealing and howling reaches way up here, and the saints say that noboidy can't get a wink of sleep! What on earth are your officials about? You just let any of them try to poke their coses in here, and see how quick I'll slam the door in their faces!" And it is generally believed he would do it too.—Cbr. Sacramento Union.

A Confederate Account of Ihe Deatb of Corporal Dick.

A correspondent of theNewJYork Evening Post, in detailing the bravery of Birney's-colored troops, which were recruited in i: Itimore, gives the following incident J~

Visiting Washington in 1868, I met_ a gentleman who had charge of the burial corps that moved the soldiers from Chapin's farm to a national cemetery.

He related to me a stgrv which was substantiallv as follows:

This soon put a stop to our rifle practice. After a time we lighted shells and rolled them down among them. This did very well until Corporal Dick stationed men with blanket to catch the blazing shells and toss them back into the fort then we were compelled to abandon the experiment, for the shells did more execution inside of the fort than out.

The Corporal was not content to lie quiet long. He placed men along the face of the fort,' with their hands against the wall. On the shoulders of these riien others were compelled to mount and stand in the same position, and so on, till he had a number of human ladders reach-

poral Dick was tied up in a standing po-
