Th literati Retenue Comnilseioner, with the pproval of thiS Secretary of the ;Treasur, h4 orieted Collector to sell all pint remaining in bonded warehouses. , Purchase of Bond Ordered. The Secretary of the Treasury haa directed the Assistant Treasurer at New ' York to purchase three millions of United 'States bonda each Wednesdayduriog the present month, to be held subject to the future action of Congress. , .'i ; Governor.Watker and His Views. o Governor-elect Walker, of Virginia, says he ia a Conservative Republican, and was elected on the platform of the Fifteenth Amendment, which amendment, he says, will be adopted immediately on the organ -cation of the Legislature. There is a doubt about the time of his entering on the duties of his office." General ' Can by has the power to decide, and he leares it to the President. . - Texts end Mississippi Election to be Or : tiered. There was a fuK meeting f the Cabinet on Tuesday.4 Messrs.'jJout well and Creswell, representing the , extreme Radical wing of the party, objected to ordering, the elections in Mississippi and Texas before the fall election in the Northern States. It was finally agreed to. name the fourth Tuesday in November for the elections in aid States. The order was to ' be issued on Wednesday, ' - ' - i' r- ' New Treasury Arrangements. Secretary Boutwell has appointed General T. E.Spinner, United States Treasured, Custodian of the Sinking Fund, and of such bonds as mny be bought, subject to the future aetion of Congres, with instructions that they roust be charged to the account of registered bonds, and books are to be opened, which at all tiroes must show the true condition of the fund. lie is also instructed' to open an ' interest account with the pinking fund, and credit' it with .all the interest due or bonds bought on account of the sinking fund, or subject to the future action of Congres?, and pur chase new bonds with such interest, to be ad"ded to the sinking fund. The Labor Question Africa vs. Asia. The meeting of the Executive Committee appointed by the recent Commercial Convention at. Memphis, which . occurs during the present tnonth, promises to de elop something of a political cluracter. An agent of a prominent Chinese importing house Will Ie present at the invitation of the Committee, and will lay before them plans for the import-ttion of Coolie labor Into all the Southern States. The object of the .movement is evidently to displace the freed men from their natural inheritance as the laboring class of the South. It is therefore probable that before long the blacks of the South will be arrayed against the Celestials, the same as the white laborers of the Pacific coast. The Hamilton Burglary. Henry Eastman and Rulus Campbell; charged with entering the Collector's office at Hamilton, on the evening of Saturday, J uly . 3d, were before - the Uuited States Commissioner on Tuesday for a preliminary examination. Ejstroan ia a notorious character, having served one or two terms ia the Penitentiary. lie ia about fiftyfive years old. ' Campbell is much younger, dot being apparently mote than twentj years of age. UommiKsioner Haliiday said that he had never seen a vase as clear as this. The safe of the Collector had been broken open, and the stolen goods found on the parties before him. The evidence was clear aud conclusive. At Eastman's thare in the transaction the Judge felt no surprise. But lor Campbell be expressed his sorrow. No punishment could be too severe for a man who would deliberately entice a boy into such crime. Both were held in bail in the sum of 5,000. Finding Comfort in Small Things. The Democratic newspapers and their correspondents throughout the country still coutinue their etiorts to create a difference between the leaders of the Republican party and the PreMdetit. The result of the recent election iu Virginia and the openly expressed. disaffection of the Wells party in that State at the course of the Administration gives them uoiold comfort, while the propt--et that Judge Lewi Dent, the President's brother-in-law, will be the Conservative candidate for Governor in Mississippi, is a Crumb of comfort which they chew with avidity. It should be known, however, that J udc Dent has always been a Democrat. An Opinion about the Pacific Railroads. Senator Cookling has telegraphed to the Becretarj of the Treasury that both the Central end Union Pacific Railroads haYe been, in his opinion, honestly cooaUtiK5&," a - . I and considering tue various oDstacies wutcn they were compelled " to surmount, are, comparatively speaking, in better order than the average of Eastern roads. He adds; " As to safety and comfort of travel there can be no question".' Several NVw York bank' officials -have bren Mfmuloiied before the rtiod jury for infraction of the uury laws.

A Plot that Failed. The motive of the recent numerous mentions of Secretary vBtuUrl as, a'pro? , per person for the Repuplioau Presidential nominee in 1872, turns out to be ao effort to secure his removal from the Cab inet. The scheme of the projectors of the movement was to embroil Secretary Boutwell and the President in a personal quarrel, supposing that trie latter is a candidate for renominatido, which, however, is a mere supposition. They hoped to gain, by the appointmant of a new man as Secretary of the Treasury, , opportunities of obtaining information regarding the opinions of the department and assistance in their lobby schemes," Of course, their efforts have proved futile, and the friendly relatione which have alwaya existed between Secretary Boutwell and the President remain uninterrupted. i-i rm i ' The Chinese Problem. The facta which combine to press this problem upon the attention and the anxieties, of the -American people, are thus graphically summarised in a late issue of the New York Times: That I,2o6 Chinamen. entered the port of San Francisco the other day, packed in a single ship";, that you may find them by hundreds in single hotels on the Pacific coast, and by thousands in 'Chinese quarters; that they are working their way eastward through the vast desolate gap now Ivii g letwixt Atlantic and Pacific civilisation a gap$oon to be, perchance, the busiest and thickest hive ot humanity on the globe; that Chinese hands already work in crowds on the Central Pacific Railroad at $30 a month in gold; that their yellow faces are to be seen in all the large cities of America; that ho lees than 170,000 of them are already in the United States; that the breaking down of a prejudice against emigration, built up through thousands of jests, will soon make the out ward rush from China enormous; that the American labor market and the American gold mine will bend four fifths of this stream to our shores; that the new means of cheaper and better trans Pacific navigation will foster this tendency all these facts are showing, not only how large th; Chinese problem is, but how rapidly it grows, and botf soon it will demand definite solution.

While in America, the Roman Catholics are demanding that the public schools shall be placed under the control of their priests, in Austria the movement to take the public schools from the control of the church is carrying both Roman Catholics and Protestants, except the priests of the former. A -news item says: A vote is now being taken in the Kingdom of BaVa'rla'do the question whether the tectarian schools shall be changed into unsectatian public schools. An iuterestinc vote Is reported from the town of Neustadt. .The large Trotestant population Cast's unanimous vote in favor of un sectarian Schools. The Roman Catholics voted 'St)! for, to I (the parish priest) against. The Jewish vote was unanimously !o favor. The result created im mense enthusiasm. Mr. Siples, living near Petersburg, Indiana, has lost nearly four hundred hogs, during ths last four weeks, by hog cholera. - . . General Cochrane declines the Collectorship of the Sixth New York District, not deeming the funds safe on account of the boldness of lurglars. Dr. Ym. F. Fair, of Newark, Ohio, was fined $1,000 and costs in the United States District Court at Trenton, for using a canceled Uuited States stamp on a deed. Robert Toombs, instead of calling the roll of his slaves at the base of Bunker Hill Monument, as he boasted he would do, now meekly contents himself with re ceiving his mail matter from the hand of a colored Postmaster at Macon, Georgia. - 1 -aisssa asawa i Letters received in Montreal from Jefferson Davis, now in Paris, render it doubtful if his health will ever permit his return. If he recovers sufficiently to permit travel, he will spend the summer in Canada, and the wintet in Mississippi. General Carr, who started some time ago on an Indian hunt tothe Republican River, reports that he has succeeded in surprising a large Cheyenne villnge, completely routing the Indians, killing fifty-two war riors, and capturing a large amount of camp cquipnge, horses, mules, &c. Intelligent authorities in Georgia estimate that the corn ' crop in that State will Tall at least eight millions of bushels short of supplying homo needs the present year.' The .erop, however, promises well, what there is of it. Jas. II. Hill, near helburu, Indiana, having taken down hit gun on Tuesday, to shoot a squirrel, blew into the inutile of it to see if it was loaded, when his foot slipped from the hammer and befell dead instantly, shot through tho brain. The reduction of expenses of the Post, office Department, owing to the discontinuance of the uual mail service on Western and Southern routes, is up to date at the rate of $734,000 per annum, while by other arrangements the general service has been much improved. A point blank denial is given at Washington to the assertion of Captain General DcRodas that the insurrection in Cuba is carried on only by a few filibusters. It is shown by easily attainable statistics that the rebellion is in a very flourishing state. The match between Allen and McCoole has been arranged, articles of agreement 4rawn up, and three hundred dollars a Side deposited. The fight is to take place November 10, within fifty miles of Cintiuniti. ' Geo. Wilkes is spoken of as the final stikc-hoider.

A New Cure for Dyspepsia. -, "The balloon ascension made from Memphis by Captain S. D. Thompson apd Professor Brooks was a failure, so far, as testing the' mechanical attachment was

concerned. The ' management of the balloon itself was bad, and the gentlemen seem to have been kept busy in prevenling it from mounting too high or coming down too low. The highest altitude reached was eleven thousand six hundred and seventy feet. Some of the phenomena and results of this ascension, as ; observed by Captain Thompson, are interesting. In his account of it he says; . . "Among the other phenomena observed, I might mention that the balloon, in ascending, always assumed a whirling motion from right to left, while, in descending, it whirled from left to right; and when the barometer indicated an equipoise, it remaiued stationary, turning to neither direction. From this observation I am satL-fied that latitude and longitude can be calculated in a balloon at night by means of nautical instruments. "We took with us four watches, all being English levers, and in good order. At the height of two miles two of them stopped, while the other two continued to run. The pocket compass which Dr. Bell furnished me, and which was a very delicate instrument, became completely depolarised, and has since been gradually regaining its polarity, though it is still worthless. "The effect of the ascension on my own system is remarkable, and very interesting to me ns a matter of speculation. As soon aa I returned to Memphis my friends remarked that I looked much more ruddy in the face than before. I can scarcely get enough to eat. 1 eat twice as much as I did before, and with the keen relish of a child. 1 attribute this to the expansion of the veins and cells of the body in the rarificd air, whereby the fluids of the body circulate with greater freedom, Prof. Wise was a confirmed dyspeptic before he began ballooning, but this effected a complete and radical cure. From the great change produced upon ray own system, 1 should not hesitate to recommend a balloon voyage to any one suffering from a disordered stomach or liver, warranting that it will do more good than a whole barrel of llostetter's Bitters." Indiana is doing well with her State debt. Five years ago it footed up some 9,000,000; it has since been reduced to S2,C00,O00, and of this 8800,000 was paid off July 1, leaving only $1,800,000. Another five years will see the State out of debt and a large fund in the Treasury, if the present prudent management is continued. Late Mexican advices state that the volcano of Colima is in an active state of eruption, throwing up huge volumes of ashes and flame, and discharging a large amount of lava. The inhabitants of the neighboring villages have been driven from their homes, and are living in the fields, in a deplorable state of destitution. It may now be stated with more certainty than heretofore that Minister Sickles has not been instructed to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba, and the additional assurance comes from one of the best sources of official information that the Government is not looking to the purchase of territory in any other quarter. Near Goshen, Indiana, on last Saturday uight week, John Malloy sat on the outside of the railroad track, between two ties, asleep, and, when the 10 o'clock train came along, he wascaught by the engine step and carried clear across the bridge, a distance of one hundred and thirty feet. His right shoulder was dislocated, the left arm broken, and a terrible gash cut in his side He was found, late in the night, dead. i i At the banquet given to the officers of the Army of the Gulf, at Long Branch, on Thursday evening, Frank Blair, in responding to a toast, was so indiscreet as to offend his audience by an earnest' indorsement of Stonewall Jackson and the Southern rebels in general. 4 He was loud ly hissed by members of the association, and finally called to order by Admiral Farragut. Much ill-feeling toward Blair prevails in consequence of the speech. The Internal Revenue Department has received information of the conviction, at Williamsport, Pen osylvania, of Martin Hell more and Z. Uiiuian, on the charge of violating the Revenue laws in relation to distilling. They are two of the most wealthy men in that part ofthe State, and the largest distillers. Both were sentenced two years in the Penitentiary, and are now in confinement. The Supervisor of the Western District says these convicts hoped to escape, owing to their riches and influence, and their convictions will have a good effect on smaller distillers who vio late the law. Urartu and Home "We specially commend this deservedly popular paper to the patronage of our readers. No. 30 ia especially a fine one, in appearance, matter, illustrations, eto. It contains the beginning of a highly interesting story, 'The Romance of a Poor Young Man,' is deservedly popular by reason of the singular interest of the plot, the variety, beauty and thrilling character of its incidents, the artislio skill of the style, and the healthy tone of its morality. 'The Romance of a Rich Young Girl, will be found to possess all these qualities iu an equally marked degree. , The copperheads are very happy over the result in Virginia, particularly over the fact that that result was brought about by a division ofthe negro vote. . It is amasing how negro stock has gone up in Democratic circles within twenty-four hours. "A negro is just as good as an Irishman!' say the leaders, "when he votes the 'Dimmvcralic ticket."

Gov. Morton's Gettysburg Speech. " The speech Senator Morton madewtst Thursday, the Jst inst., on the occasion ofthe sixth' annual; celebration-' of -the battle of Gettysburg,' the unveiling of the statute by General Meade, the commander of our armies on the day of victory, . and the dedication of tho soldiers monument, was one of the grandest and mightiest efforts that grand statesman has ever made. Written as )t was among the , cares , of a buy life, amidst the perplexities of meeting the constant and persistent office seeker, and the short time allowed for its make up sinee bis return to Indiana, f has made, this one feat of his, a great one indeed. It shows a mind of immense resource, a braiu of interminable grasp,, and a pen from which the words instinctively tolled, as it passed over the paper. His familiarity witb the history of the various nations ofthe earth was shown by the general but immediate reference to them ail; a reference which of course could ouly be but a mere condensed lesson, as it . were, from their past movements and present condition lessons, too, which were franght with interest alike to the American people as well as to those more intimately coucerned.

Cambridge Tribune. A The Work of Laying the Cable Nearly Completed. Brest, July 12. Dispatches through the new cable from the Great Eastern, up to this morning,' says the steamer was off Newfoundland, and Only thirty miles dis-j tan t from the spot where the splice is to be made. The signals 'are good. All well. .''..-..' ; .j Brest, July 13. :A dispatch from the Great Eastern, dated yesterday, announces her arrival off Miquelan, but a dense fog' prevailed, in consequence of which she had as yet been unable to find the shore end of the cable witb which to make the splice. The deep sea cable will probably be cut and buoyed to prevent accident until the fog clears away. Later. The cable has been cut and buoyed. No communication has been received through it since last night. Appraisement of Railroads. iNPIANArOLlS. July 10. The State Board of Equalization has had in consideration the equalization of the appraisement of the railroads. The law upon this subject is exceedingly defective, and the late Legislature might have done the State great service by passing a substitute for it. Under the present law the appraisers of the several counties along the road meet and appraise the entire line at a certain sum per mile, and each county levies the tax, based upon tho number of miles of road in the county, without reference to the actual value of the property within the couuty. Several of the roads have appealed to' the board, claiming their appraisement to have been too high; but the board, in examining the law, find much diliieulty in ascertaining the real extent of their powers in rqualizi ng it. Without determining what action should be taken in the matter, they adj mrned until next Tuesday. Chronicle. Outflanking the Stock Speculators. Wasuknuton,. July 12. Secretary Boutwell was yesterday induced to make public his determination to purchase 80,000,000 of bonds this month for the purpose of outflanking the maneuvers of a clique of Wall street operators, who, by shrewd guessing, or through information regarding bis financial policy which leaks out of the Treasury Department in some unknown manner, have heretofore been able to take advantage of the maiket, to the injury of bondholders. Generally, two hours' foreknowledge of his intention to purchase bonds have heretofore enabled the clique referred to, when the information was made public, on week days, to buy bonds iu advance of the rise occasioned by his purchases. The result has been, frequent charges agaiust the department of alleged favoritism to the successful operator, which, of course, had no foundation in fact. Purchase of the $9,000,000 will be made in lota of $3,000,000 each, on the 14th, 2 1st and 2Sih inst., and wilt cause a peiceptible advance in the price of bonds. In this connection I think it safe to assert that holders of Government securities may rely on a continuance of this policy, so tar as the money balance of the Treasury will permit. Mr. Boutwell is an avowed enemy to the policy of hoarding money in the vaults of the department, and is anxious to iucreasc the volume if the Sinking Fund. Reconstructed Virginia. The full text of the speech made at Richmond by the Governor elect of Virginia ought to satisfy every Republican that the valuable results of the Congressional policy of reconstruction have been preserved, though the more radical party has been beaten, We can hardly question the sincerity of a man who, after his election, reminds his constituents that they have succeeded "on the platform of universal suffrage and equal rights, and that it is their duty as well as his own to see that those who acted against as well aa with them in the canvass have their rights and are fully protected by the law." Mr. Walker is equally frank in stating that be is a Republican and plants himself firmly on the side of the Administration. Commercial. A new set of dramatic properties is wanted for the managers of the Democratic party in Ohio, to bring out Rosecratis as the standard bearer. Butternut trowsers are to be changed for the stars and stripes. The copper color is to be replaced by the red white and-blue. The reptile hiss is to whistle Yankee Doodle. All the ritual books, and the pass words and grins and regalia, and concealed arms of ihe Knights ot the Golden Circle, are to be sold for what they will fetch, aud the leaders are going to don the worn garments of the disbanded soldier. Yallaudigham will appear in a fatigue cap and sky blue trowsers; tiloss with a soldier's blouse and bmgans, singing John brown's body. McLain will splice himself with a sugar-loaf fell hat with a gilt cord and tassel, and will sew eagle buttons in his waistcoat. The surplus Quartermaster's stores of clothing, which were found a good thing to buy, will find new purchasers in the great Democratic party which is to be clothed anew in a patriotic garb. Democratic processions will march with faded and bullet-rent banners. Maimed veterans for the carriage spectacle will be a t premium. The soft strains of "peace at any' price" f are to be chunged to martial marched,

The talk of Lincoln's hirelings and of the abolition war, ad th - invaders of the South, is to sweetly cbarge to ascriptions

Our Democratic friends may be awkward in their queer toggery at first, and may stumble i a the lingo of patriotism J but we hope they will perservere. The performance will be entertaining, even if it does not makeaoy change in the political situation. fGasette. - Correspondence ofthe Indiana American. .Letter from Illinois.' Lincoln, 111., July 8, 18C9. Dear American. -iLonjr months aco I promised to write you a letter, but that promise was not regarded promptly. I had it in my mind to tell you about . our crops and financial matters, but I am afraid it would discourage you folks who live in the land of enterprise and plenty. It has rained, it does rain, it promises to rain indefinitely, and we. have the bluest set of people here you evetsaw.' We are now in the midst of our harvest, and what corn is not scalded to death or rotted in the ground, or Washed up, or was not planted, is overrun with weeds, ad the' rain falls steadily and earnestly and almost daily. We scarcely ever have two consecutive days without rain. Money is, of course, scarce; business is dull, the mechanics' are idle, and merchants are waiting for customers rather than on them. The 4th of July was observed fot three days this year, but all three days did not make a very respectable 4th. So much for this region. Vl.h ave been much interested in reading the accounts given of your College Commencement, and 1 am heartily glad it was such a success. If some people could only learn what an advantage that College is to them and to Brookville, they would act differently towards it.' I am glad to say that the American has ever been a true and earnest friend of that institution, and has done much to sustain it. Heretofore Vou have had Presidents over the College who needed to he introduced to its patrons, but you now have one who needs no introduction.' Born within a hundred yards of the College Campus, raised all around there, educated in the rooms over which he he now presides, and having successfully j taught there for years, he naturally assnms i duties tha are as familiar to him as his multiplication table. AH general rules have exceptions, and the rule requiring prophets to go away from home for honor, rinds in this case an illustrious exception. Now that my whilom Professor is a perfect man, having recently added to himself what every sensible man needs and should have, a better half, he is prepared to make Brookville College a credit to Brookville and a praise in the whole earth. If theTe is any failure, it will be with the people, and the loss will be theirs. Let the White Water Valley fill those College halls with the lusty boys and fair girls that so wouderfully abound in that region. " Hoping soon to drop into your sanctum for a little chat, I remain Yours, W. R Goodwin. For the American. School Houses Are not. generally furnished with suitable conveniences for disposing of the loose wearing apparel ofthe scholars, their dinners, etc. There are no nails or shelves for this purpose within the school room. Scholars generally are obliged to throw their clothes across the desks, npon the seats, or in the windows. Our school houses are generally warm ed by stoves, some of which are in a good condition, and are supplied with good drywood from the wood-house. The instances, however, in which such facilities for warming exist, are comparatively few. It is much more common to see cracked and broken stoves aid rusty pipe of various sizes. The principal reason why the stoves in many of our school houses are so cracked and broken, is because of the use of green instead of good dry wood. And there are several reasons for this. 1st. It takes at least double the amount i f green wood; when covered with ice and snOw, a considerable portion of sensible heat becomes latent in the conversion of ice, snow and moisture into steam. 2d. The steam thus generated cracks the stove and rusts the pipe. 3d. It is impossible to preserve an equal temperature; sometimes the room is too cold, at other times it is too warm, and ofter Very injurious gasses are generated in this manner. There are, perhaps, in a majority of our school houses, a pail for water, cup, broom, ana a chair tor tue teactier. come one or more of these arc frequently wanting. I need hardly 6ay every school should be supplied with them all. In addition to these, every school house should be furnished with ao evaporating dish for the stove, should be supplied with clean, pure water; a thermometer, by which the temperature of the room may be regulated; an eight day clock , by which the time of beginning and closing school, and conducting all its exercises, may be governed; a shovel and tongs; an ash bucket and ash house. For want of the latter, much filth is frequently suffered to accumulate in and about the house, and not unfrequently the house itself takes fire and burns down. There should also be a wood house well supplied with good seasoned wood; a well or spring of water, with provisions not only for drinking, but for the cleanliness of the pupils. And last, though not feast, in this connection, two privies in the rear of the school house, separated by a high wall or close fence one for the boys and one for the girls. In consequence of the want of these indispensable appendages of civilisation, the delicacy of children is frequently offended, and their morals corrupted. fc. The New Albany Ledger is jubilaBt over the victory of the Walker party in Vir giania, and says "this is the beginning and the end of carpet bag rule at the South." As Walker is a carpet-bapger from Illinois, and settled in Virginia after Gov. Weils did. it is difficult to see the force ofthe Ledger's remark. As Walker is in favor of negro suffrage, is a nation, al banker at Norfolk, and aasumes that his election is a direct endorsement of tho present administration, we are at a loss to account "fur (he Ledger's intense delight at his' success"!

HEAVY PURCHASES OF BONDS OrV DEfflO BY THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT .

It Hat a Beneficial Effect Upon the Mon- : V v, 3f Market. gpcoial Telegram to the Commercial. New York, July 12. Instructions were received this morning by the Assistant Treasurer in this cty, from the official chief at Washington, to purchase, on each Wednesday during the month of July, three millions of dollars of Five-twenties, by open proffer, as heretofore. This nine millions is in addition to tha two millions to ba purchased for the sinking fund, and will be held unmutilated, subject to the future action of Congress. This will add about $13,000,000 currency to the street, out of which should be deducted the proceeds of a million of gold to be sold, leaving a uetgain of about $11,700,000. -..-! : . ' This will place, the money market beyond the reach of extraneous meddling. From this, and the action of the grand jury relative to the enfoicement of the usury law, the rule ofthe Shylocks is at an end. Under the present system, quiet will be once more given to the street, and the business interests of the country will be restored to prosperity. This has been reflected in the money market to-day, there being ao abundance of offerings at seven per cent, in currency, with a large number of exceptions at six per cent. In response to the increased purchases by the Government, United States bonds were active and advanced. The most notable rise was in the Five-twenties, which are the bonds purchased by the Government. This continued depletion of the street, causing so great scarcity of bonds, naturally tends to advanced quotations, which holders are not slow to take advantage of; reinvesting in other Government securities, especially iu Currency Sixes and Ten-forties. Transactions in railroad shares have been on a scale of uncommon magnitude, attended, with one or two exceptions, by a general advance along the entire line. Several bank Presidents and leadiiig brokers were before the grand jury to-dav, to give evidence in relation to money transactions Id Wall street. Several will probably be indicted for usury. . Gen.

Grant's accescion to the Presidency, gre-.t i.i.mber of those who had supported his election, wiili Home who hud not, sought ollit-e at his ha: ds or expected him to bes-tow ir nuaked. He was unable to ratify their aspiratious. Most of thoi-e w horn he found in office tl timed that I hey ae him their votes; some of these he saw fit to retain; while the laws of which he is the servant required him to reduce materially the cost of, the public service and the nun her employed iu it. Our :ret Chil War had rendered neeefsary a large increase of minor functionaries; the settlement of Claims to Pensions, &o., had excused the retention of hundreds in place up to the close 'of Mr. Johnaons term, but now law and justice alike demanded that they be dismissed', to their own general disgust. Their lamentations. initialed with the howls of the disappointed made up a doleful difioianec, whereof the only meaning deductible runs thus ' Gen. Grant is found wanting his Administration ia a failure!' "Failure?"' ho? in what? Have we not peace and plenty in our land? Is not our Has displayed and respected on every sea? What foreign foe molest or threatens us? Who fears insurrections at home, or invasion from abroad? In which of our thirtysix States are the masses wanting work, discontented, suffcrinu? Consider our Financiil condition. Nearly every State and municipality paying t IT ihe dt lits incurred in raising men for the War, while the National Debt has been reduced nearly Thirty Millions in four months that Gen. Grant has had his hand on the helm. The Public Expenditure is falling c ff on every side, while the Revenue is up to high water mark. Even Indian Wars, if unavoidable, must be considerably reduced in cost by the fa cilities for moviiis; troops and stores af forded by our two Pacific Railroads. Yes, Gen. Grant has failed to gratify some eager aspiration, and thereby incurred some intense hatreds. These do not and will not fail; and his Administra tion will rrove at least equally vital. We shall hear lamentation after lamentation over bis failnre, from those whose wish is father to the thought; bnt the American People let them pass unheeded. Their strong arms bore him triumphantly through the War and into the White House, and they still uphold and sustain him. They never failed and never will N. Y. Tribune. Here is wlat the New York Citizen (Democratic) thinks of Ohio Democracy The Democracy of Ohio were very short of material when they made up their plat form. Tbey exhibited the first gleam of intelligence we nave naa irom mem in years in the selection of Rosecrans for their candidate aa Governor, but otherwise it is clear that they believe the deluge is still raining. For lieaven'a sake let them come out of the Ark; the shower is over long ago. The Ohio Democrats, who talk insuffera ble nonsense about the Africanization of the State when tbe colored men shall come to vote, are invited to study the returns of the v irginia election. There are a good many more negroes in tbe Old Dominion than there are or ever will be in Ohio, but the white man seems to be able to take care of himself there, and secures about all tbe offices worth having, with the prospect thrown in of making capital use of the negroes io getting place in the future. Commercial. The party that opposed the war; that promised 200,000 Democrats to aid the rebels; that opposed the abolition of slavery; that tried to elect the banished traitor Governor of Ohio, now nominate a candidate for Governor because he was a good soldier, a patriot, ao abolitionist, and who said of pseudo Southern chivalry that it was "the meanest aristocracy that ever stood at the head of a civilized society."
