THE National Labor Congress begins its fourth annual session at Cincinnati on the 15th of this month. All who by physical or intellectual labor contribute to the substantial wealth of the nation, be they male or female, white or black, are invited to send representatives. With abroad, intelligent basis like this it is expected that the deliberations of this convention of the toiling masses of the nation will result in the adoption of such plans as will tend to bring about a peaceful solution of the great problem of outage, and that its proceedings will show a marked advance on those of the conventions of last year. -t yB & S-

THE

CF.NSUS RETURNS from a little

more than one-third of the districts of New York indicate that there has been no material increase of population in that city since 1869, and the Tribune considers that the correctness of the conclusion is proved by the fact that the annuu 1 number of deaths is but little larger than fifteen years ago. While the permanent population of New York proper has thus reached a culminating point, the Inquirer claims that the census in Philadelphia will exhibit widely different results. No natural bounds there forbid expansion in a northern or western direction, and while an addition of at least three hundred thousand has been made to its population during the larft. ten yearn, ample room is still left for the accomodation of millions more.

A COTEMPORARY suggests that if all the world's statesmen were of the temper of the Hon. W. H. SEWARD, there never would be any wars. True, in years past the ex-Secretary of State was not an optimist, and uttered eloquent sentences over the "irrepressible conflict." But for a decade past Mr. SEWARD has been a changed man. His new method has been, and is, to make the best of accomplished facts*, and purchase as much territory as passible.

Mr. SEWARD recently made a speech on the Fifteenth Amendment—not afresh subject. Yet, the ex-Secretary said many pretty things of it, that were neither new nor rare but all of which pointed the moral that tlic Fifteenth Amendment was an excellent thing. Mr. SEWARD is on his way to China of coursc he will make speeches, which will he interpreted to the Mongolians. True to his new system, he must admire the institutions of China as they are and have been for many centuries. CONFUCIUSmust command his unqualified admiration, and he must see good in Chinese exclusiveness and superstition. How he will accomplish this difficult task remains to be seen.

The Canal Swindle,

From the Indianapolis Journal.] "We alluded yesterday to the statement of the New Albany Ledr/er that "General IMilroy was the only candidate on either side that favored the swindle of taking back the Wabash and Erie Canal." We put the brand upon the aspersion of General Milrov, and enlarged the operation by transferring the advocacy of the canal swindle to the Democratic r"»ididate for Attorney (ieneral. 11c openly advocated it, though hp is not the only Democrat that favors it. We will enlighten the .Ltdi/cr a little. On the 7th day of March, ItStiT, (see Brevier Reports, page 4112) came up in the State Senate, the question of amending the State Constitution so as to prevent the people from ever being burthened, by a corrupt legislative majority, ith a new debt of $7,500,000. The first form of the proposed amendment prohibited the State from assuming any liability whatever on account of the Wabash and Erie Canal. Several l!epuhiicans objected to MM form, that there were old bonds, issued in 183li, outstanding, and they were honest debts, still unpaid, and it would be repudiation to interfere with their payment. Then the amendment mis amended by a proviso, offered by Senator J. It. Cravens of Jefferson, that this provision should not be construed as affectiiu/ the riijhtx of persona i-ho were not purlieu to the adjustment of the State debt made by the acts of 1S4H and 1817. This amendment made all honest debts safe, and excluded the assumption only of those fully paid by the Wabash and Erie Canal. Mark here the state of the qustion. It was now in such a shape that no claims could be affected but the canal stock bought up by Democrats at five and ten cents on the dollar. All others were protected, and there could be no repudiation in refusing to pay what hail already been paid. In iliis slate of the question, Senator Bay less W. llanna, of Vigo, said "he was unwilling to propose a Constitutional amendment that repudiate.s part W the .State debt. If there is not i-oine covered design to repudiate some portion ot the debt somehow what, the use of the amendment'"' (Seepage 412. second column, the "covered design' was open enough, it wes to keep a lot of Democratic speculators from fastening another debt of seven millions and a half upon us, and. to provide for it in such a way as to make bribcrv out of the question—make it powerless bv putting tliegripe of the Constitution on its famous throat. This says the Democratic candidate for Attorney Geneial "is repudiation." So said the Democratic State Convention last winter in refusing to resolve for a Constitutional amendment. So says the Sentinel in opposing that amendment, because it sees its interest in opposition, iiemeiuber what Mr. llanna said, the position he holds, what the Sentinel hasaid, and think what may be done by the party they represent when it gets the power. We shall have that canal debt, already tweniv-four years paid, to pay attain. Another Democratic swindle for Republicans to settle.

Voorhees' Tricks Exposed!

The Secretary of the Treasury Shows Where the Lie Comes In!

Reduction of the Interest-bear-ing portion of the Public debt.

TELLING FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

The following'correspondence explains itself, and proves, beyond any possibility of doubt, that Mr. VOOKHEES is engaged in an arduous effort to make the people believe what he knows to be fake:

IERRE

HACTE,

IND, Aug. 4, 1870.

II N GEO.S. BOUTWELL, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:- The Hon. D. W. Voorhees, M. C. for tli is District, now canvassing for re-election, makes the statement, in all his spoeches, that there has been uo reduction in the interest-bearing portion of the public debt since the present administration came into power, but that on the contrary, it has been increased. Of course intelligent men, of all parties, know this to be false but in order to settle the question beyond the possibility of dispute, I would like a statement, over the Secretary's signature, showing just what reduction has been effected in the interest-bearing portion of the debt. This will be more convincing, to many readers, than the usual printed statements.

Will you also oblige me by sending copies of the regular monthly statements from March 1, 1869 to August 1, 1870, both inclusive.

Very Respectfully, C. H. ALLEN, Editor DAILY EXPRESS,

Terre Haute. Ind.

JFENT, "I TARY, 370.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY August 9, 18'

SIR: According to the request contained in your letter of the 4th inst., I have forwarded to your address a copy of the Public Debt Statements for each month since the present Administration came into power.

By comparing the Debt Statement of March 1st, 1869, (four days before the inauguration of President Grant) with that of August 1st, 1870, you will find the fol lowing reduction in the interest-bearing portion of the Public Debt:

C. H. ALLEN, Esq., Editor "Terre Haute EXPRESS," Terre Haute, Ind. "Debt bearing interest in coin" $129,705,900 00 "Debt bearing interest in lawful money" 11,720,000 00 "Debt on which interest has ceased since maturity 2,831,345 29

Showing a reduction in the interest-bearing Debt of... 5143,257,245 29 This does not, however, by any means show the entire amount paid on the Debt. A large amount of accumulated interest or coupons, due but not presented for payment previous to March 1st, 1869, has since been paid, and does not appear in this account because the accounts were formerly so kept that it was found impossible to ascertain the coupons outstanding at any given time, a difficulty which the present Secretary has remedied as to all coupons maturing since he has assumed the duties of his office.

By a skillful and deceptive use of figures I can see thai a person might claim that by a comparison of the Debt Statement of March 1st, 1869, with that of Jidy 1st, 1870, the bonded debt, bearing interest in coin, had actually increased, because up to that time the bonds purchased and held by the Treasury Department had not been deducted from the outstanding debt, but were called funds on hand, and were deducted from the sum total of all the Debt, like cash on hand. Since the passage of the Act of July 14th, 1S70, the bonds purchased have all been canceled and destroyed, and do not now appear in the account of bonds outstanding, as you will see by a note I have made and printed on the Debt Statement of Aurpist 1st.

Very respectfully, War. A. RICHARDSON,

Acting Secretarv.

FOR JOSEPH.

Now that the Holy Father has been pronounced infallible, public interest in the Ecumenical Council has greatly sub sided. The bottom seems to have fallen out oi the concern. But the work lias not been finished, the eiid is not yet. Seventeen of-^foe seven hundred and sixty-four members have indeed adjourned nine die, but this does not seem to have been very deeply felt.

Among the questions still unsettled is the bagiological position of Joseph, the putative father of Jesus. Thus far has been rather neglected, figuring only as an ordinary saint. A large number of Cardinals, Bishops and Patriarchs have untred in a petition to the council, the material points of which are: "It being known for a long time that in the world there has existed an ardent desire to have the worship of St. Joseph established, they supplicate and pray in the most lively manner the Holy Ecumenical Council, by an act of its sovereign authority, to solemnly declare: First, that St Joseph, in his quality of father ot Christ, being exalted above all creatures, the Congregation of Sacred Rites accord to him in the future in the liturgy of the Catholic Church, a higher worship than that of any of the other saints, and after that of the Most Holy Mother of God. Second, that the same St. Joseph, to whom before this was assigned the care of the Holy family, be now declared, after the Most Holy Virgin, the chief patron of the Universal Church."

It is said that Joseph stands a fair prospect of being elevated to the rank among Papal demigods which his marriage would seem to justly entitle him.
