defense of hi* letter entitled, “The public debt, when It ehotild be paid." He efcarges that the proposition to pay the creditor* of the Govern, mentin greenback*, the lawful currency of the country, t* “confiscating the public debt.” ('onllscatlng, according to Wnr.aTKR, means “to appropriate, at a penalty, to the public u <p.” Wo have not heard any proposition to thus appropriate the public debt, although confiscation of the public revenues for personal and party aggrandizement Is the leading feature in the radical faith, which hat been practically Illustrated during tho radical administration of public affairs. In an article upon the Senator’s letter, in our Issue of Wednesday, we stated that If the revenues of 18GG were
maintained and that portion of th* bonded debt now represented by national bank cur-
rency was retired by tho substitution therdor of treasury notes, that tho pres nt bonded debt of about ft,“00,000<000 could bo cancelled In about three and a half years, provided the Interest was stopped by the payment of the bonds in greanbacks and tho public expenditures were reduced to a sum about double to what they were in WOO. Tho Senator doubt*

—The Legislature cf C^JifornU'^nds a* follows: 20 Senators (14 Repu^ficans and 6 Democrats) hold over and twenty (7 Republicans and IS Democrats? have been elected, making the Bcifto stand: 21 Repal)llf:am» 19 Democrats.

We reprodu*. Just what wo did say, and which the Senator criticises in tho foregoing extract; to show how unwilling tho bondisls are meet the Issue fairly and equally: “The treasury report shows that tho reve-
nues collected In 1S00 amountcJ to foG0,000,ono. J’rcvious to the advent of tho Republican administration the total annual expenditures of the General Government were about *77,000,000. Owing to the necessities arising
from the war, wo will estimate the necessary
current annual expenditures of tho Govern-
in.nttoln? about double that amount, say
*)17>0.fHK),ooo. The bonded debt is about $1,700.000. 000. Deduct from this' tho national bank note circulation, which could be used, If It was changed to treasury notes, to retire an equal amount of bonds, and It would leave the Interest paying Indebtedness about fourteen hundred millions. Tho interest upon that sum at six per cent, will amount to eighty, four millions annually. This amount added to our estimate for the current expenses of the Government, under an economical administration, would make the total yearly expenses
about two hundred and thirty-four millions. •• Deduct this amount from tho revenues of 1%G. and it would leave about three hundred
millions to bo applied annualty to the liquidation of the public Indebtedness, Without changing the character of the public indebtedness, the figures we have given show that
under a sagacious and economical admlniitra-
tlon of the finances, if tho present revenues
should be maintained, the bonded debt of the
Government could bo wiped out In less than five years. Hut if the whole debt should be paid In greenbacks at once, and the interest stopped, provided the revenues of the Government for IWiO are maintained, the current expenditures brought down to a sum double to what they were in 1MG0 and the bonded debt
reduced by tho issue of greenbacks to an amount equal to tho national bank currency,
the whole amount of the indebtedness thus converted would bo absorbed by the revenues in about three and a half years. This Is what ran be accomplished by a sagacious manage-
ment of tho public finances.”
N’ow, wo ask if this calculation is not ac* cording to tho rules of arithmetic? It is said that figures will not lie. According to the statement of the Secretary of the Trcaiury, and we give the figures in round numbers,
the account will stand about thus:
The bonded debt is about $1,700.000,000 Deduct national bank currency, UOO,000,0(H) This would leave >....$1,400,000,000 The revenues of ]?GU, were about 7>00,000,000

makes I,-18,'i,000,000 These figures show, iu«t iq wo stated, that <r u,o rcrcuuos of 18C0 were maintained, and the public expenditures reduced to what they should bo under an economical administration of the Government, the present bonded debt could bo wiped out in three years and a half, if tho interest was stopped by tho payment of the debt In greenbacks. We did not in this estimate, propose to violate public faith, but only to demonstrate what could bo done In tho liquidation of the public debt.
The Senator, in his article aays:
“In proposing to reduce the expenses of the government the Herald of course expects us to withhold the f40,000,000 annually paid for pennon* to our wounded soldiers, or the widows and orphans of the men who died to preserve the republic. It also contemplates the discontinue of tho payment of bounties already promised our veteran volunteers, the disbanding of the army and the dismantling We did not “of course” propose any thing of the kind. In our estimate of $150,000,000 per annum for the public expenditures, wo allowed $73,000,000, over and above tho total expenditures of 18C0, to cover pensions and other extraordinary expenditures arising out of the contingent expenses occasioned by the war. We desire that crery honest debt of the government should be paid, but we ask the distinguish Senator why “ the pensions to our wounded soldiers, or the widows and orphans of the men who died to preserve-the Republic,” and the “ bounties already promised our veteran volunteer” should be paid in greenbacks, in a depreciated currency, and the bondholders in gold? What justice is there in this distinction ? Should not tho public faith be discharged just aa religiously to the pensioners and “our veteran volunteer*” as to the bondholders who kept away, like tho Senator, from the enemy’s bullets, and speculated upon the necessities of tho government? Tho Senator has an exquisite regard for the “right*" ot the bondholders, and to pay them the pound of tlesh he is ready to mortgage the labor of the country for not only this, but for
generations to come.
UMmt Senator fflnrton would. Da. “I would reduce the rate of taxation to tho lowest point that would defray the expense* of the Government, economically aomlnistered, and pay the Interest and maturing obligations, and leave the principal of the bonded debt to be discharged in other and better tiroes.”—,Venalw Av/ton's Letter on Finances.

You would “economically administer the Government?* by voting large sums to support the free£> men’s bureau, and to make negro States in th* South, a thing which ;ou once oppooed. You would continue the public debt that you might have the great privilege ot “paying th* Into* est” which you would grind out of the po«t and place In the hands of the rich. You “leave the principal” to reat a* an Incu upon generation* to come, and crash with a heavy burden. A* to tho “bettur times,” we suppose tho Senator refer* to the day when the South shall ba given over to the negroes, and he will take his seat alongside of soma ebony representative from the Southern State*, and Illustrate what the rascal* term the grand truth of th* Dm3 oration of lodependence, that “all men «r* created free tad

Railroad.—Zq/aj/etfe Journal. Radical Consultation.—There Is quite an array of radical politicians at Washington to devise means to secure Pennsylvania and Ohio at tbe coming election*. “They claim,” mya the Boston Post correspondent, “that a conservative victory, or even a decided conservative gain in either ot these States, would dampen the ardor of their party, add strength to tho President, embolden the conservative leaders, am! give prestige to the moderate Republicans—such as Fessxnden, Sherman and Bingham. They admit freely that the influence of the approaching election upon the Presidential question must be very great. Senator Thayer, ot Kansas, who Is In Washington, says a decided radical victory will Insure tho nomination of Stevens, Wadi, or Stanton. A falling off In their- vote will bring forward more prominently Chief Justice Chase, while conservative victories will necessitate the nomination of General Grant or Senator Fessenden. After arranging the programme, Senator Thayer leaves to engage actively in tho canvass in Ohio, commencing next Saturday In Cincinnati.” What the Radical Leaders Advo- ( ate.—An exchange says the leading radicals of the country advocate a national debt; Increased taxation; untaxed bonds lor thericB; high protective tariff for New England manufacturers; shinplasters for the poor and gold for tho bondholder; negro mongrclism at the polls and in the Jury box; disfranchisement of foreign voters; military satraps, at the expense of $100,000,000 to tho General Government, instead ol civil State officers, paid by the States respectively; negro Congressmen and negro Senators; negro judge* and juror*; negro Vice President; trial by military commissions instead of civil courts; the right and power of Congress to change our present form of government without tho consent ot the people; tho right of Congress to abolish State governments and establish a military despotism over half of the old Union; tho right ot Congress to force negro equality upon all tbe States—regardless of the will of tho pco. pie. J —Joseph Powell give* formal notice to Congressman Butler, of tho First Tennessee District, that ho will contest his seat In Congress. Powell wa* a congressional candidate, and received forty-one votes against Butler’s eight or ten thousand. On the sole ground thai Butler was a rebel In tho early days of the war, his competitor claims the

Tho Raleigh Standard's estimate of the entire registration of the State is 110,000-80,000 white and 00,000 colored. —The Cairo Democrat says that seventeen men and boys and two colored “female ladies” turned out to do honor to Shiridan when he passed through the city en route North, after being relieved by the President. SuFi RAGE.—Woman suffrage meetings are now held In all psrta of Kansas. The question is to be submitted, and Governor Crawford, Senators Pomeroy and Roes, Congressman Clark, Ex Governor Robinson, andolheresofnotc, aressldto favor the proposed extension of tho franchise. —Tho radicals are busily engaged in the military recruiting business.

Miami County Convention.—Tho Dcmocracy of Miami county met In convention in Peru, on Saturday, the 14th Inst. On motion, William Zehring was nominated by acclamation as candidate fbr county commissioner, and Adam Beck for coroner.

Arch Bishop Purcell on th

Arch Bishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, attended the great council In Rome a few weeks since, where he occupied the seat of honor at the right hand of the Pope. lie has returned home, and on Sunday evenlnp.the Sth Instant, he gave a lecture in whl^h he reviewed his' experience. We quote a few passage*: f When we saw assembled so many$nndrrds of bishops—so many hudreds of learned teach-. ers, doctors, generals of orders, worthy cf comparing almost with those of the primitive Church, coming from the most distant lands— we saki to ourselves that nothing but truth could command or receive such homage. If any otber denomination-and I speak net unkindly; I apeak but for the truth—if any other—the largest denomination of so called Christianson earth—were to attempt such a demonstration, 1 ask you if they could so succeed. Whence would* they come and how many would there be? What history, what traditions could they bring along with them, and trace their origin to Jesus Christ? As you know, some of the prelates lately assembled In Rome had to come further than the wise men came under the guidance ol tho star that led them to tbe Savior in tbe manger of Bethlehem. Further and further did they come than any had ever come before to worship at Rome or In Jerusalem. And Sxforeneard of: never before represented in the council of Nice, or In the general council of the Catholic Church.

We professed the same faith, and we united in the same ceremonies. We were one, as Christ wished all his apostles to be, and all who believe in Him, to the end of time.

Skxleton.—A skeleton, or a portion of the bones of a human body, was exhumed on Tuesday, by the hands employed on the Valley Railroad. Tbe bones was found just south of town, and east of tbe Junction Machine shop. Tbe skull was struck with a pick, breaking it up very badly. It was some two or three feet under ground. There being no burying ground near, it is somewhat of a mystery as to how this once human body c3m» to be burled there. It Is probable, however, that the skeleton found, was once the human and living form of the red man cf the forest.— Cambridge Mirror. , . —Mr. Alexander Trippctt, a wealthy and highly influential farmer of Gibson county, about fifty years of age, and a member of the Methodist Qntreb, took bis rifle a few mornings since, aad'dqllbatately .frte, brains out.

A Strange Case.—Last evening a man accompanied by a lady got off* the evening train uu llie New Albany road, at tbo Junction, and repairing to one of the boarding houses in the vicinity, arranged for accommodations for tbe night. A short time after the couple retired to their room. The man was afterwards observed to leave tho bouse, and after a short time return again. In some manner tbe fears of one of the domestics were excited that all was not right, and in company with the proprietor of tbe bouse went to the door of the apartment and demanded admittance. This was denied at first, but on tbe threat of forcing open the door. It was opened and the man found disrobing, while the Woman sat In a corner perfectly Insane and unconscious, screaming at the top of her lungs. Of course there are many theories and explanations cf the case offered, but in tbe lack of anything reliable, we give none of them. The man has been arrested and confined to await further development^ while tbe unfortunate Atdy, who continues to talk and carry on In an Incoherent manner, has been taken in charge by the kind ladles of the bouse, and every effort Is being made to efl'ect a return of reason.—

Amount still due on revenue of State $057 41 The State Treasurer has but done his duty according to law, and tho “blame ot having no schools” rests entirely with the defaulting county treasurer,who has,it seems, embezzled the funds apportioned to Harrison county for school purposes. In DcKalb county, where the county treasury was robbed of a largo amount of money, the same complaint Is made that the State Treasurer has wltheld tho school funds. The same rule of action, under the very plain wording and the spirit of the law, was applied as will be seen by the following statement: L J. Blair, Treasurer DeKalh County, in account with Treasurer of Slate: DEBIT. To amount May settlement sheet 1807 $19,169 23 To Asylum Acounts 85 35
Total charges $19,254 58 CREDIT. By Cash $8,255 96 By School Svarrant 10,993 62
Total credits $19,254 58 If DcKalb county has no schools it Is not because the State Treasurer has withheld the fund*, for they are credited In the settlement, but for the reason that the county officers seem to have made no provision to meet the loss and to keep up the schools in spite of the robbery. Perhaps my Corydon friend would say that in tbecaso of DeKalb county, I was endeavoring to make “political capital out of it.” I can inform him that the treasurer of DcKalb county—Generel Blair—is a political friend in whose integrity I have the highest confidence, and that his settlement with the State is complete, notwithstanding tho very heavy loss sustained by him. In conclusion, I would state that during my administration of the Treasury Department of Indiana 1 will perform the duties of the office according to law, and will protect the Interests of the State regardless of political partisanship.

With tbs bank issues out of the way, the Government can gradually assimli tae the value of greenbacks to gold, and by its great facilities for obtaining the latter it can salely lead the way and set the example of specie payments without any of the jolts, shocks, or distress which a great affiliation of obstructive banks might easily occasion.

He did not permit his outagenist to return his blows. In this respect he is much Inferior .to his brother Gelt; snd St. Louis was judicious in its discrimination. McCoole has started a whisky shop; Sheridan -has gone to establish * private Indian seraglio. In respect to their occupations. Me-. Coole is still ahead in point of respectability. In tho future, as in the past, McCoole seems destined to prove himself the superior of the other in respectability of pursuit and in bravery. as much so as he proved himself the superior of Jones in point of muscle and endurance.—CVa’ccryo Times. This world is a small planet, but it is wide awake. Nearly seven millions of men are at work on the ocean continually. Tbe annual loss of property on the sea amounts to about twenty-live millions.
The Peruv ian Government would give a fortune to a mm who will invent a process of solidifying guano in order for exportation. A good many have tried it but without success. Elder Jacob Knapp, tbe great Baptist revivalist, has been invited to visit California, and expects to start for that distant State In October.

COOKING STOVE.
The American Cooking Stove. After twenty yearn of experience in the manufacture of s oves, we became convinced, some six years since, that a vast'amount of money was Mtoig expended by the people of this country, in buying cheap andolmost worthless stoves, a large portion of which was wasted; and that true economy consisted in buying the best stores that could be made, notwithstanding the price was higher. With this view we proceeded to construct the American Cooking Stove, and spared to pains or expense to make it the best and most terfect stove that could be made. And we have
it, and carefully watched its st six years, and when an im-
provement suggested itself, we have at once adopted it, and we have several of these improvement* secured by letters patent. In this manner, we do not hesitate to say, we have brought it to a higher state of perfection than has Theretofore been attained in cooking stoves.
etofore
The recent improvemcn
ded largely to its
;tained in cookings: ts in this stove have ad-
jnrenience and effectiveness
In oil the varieties of stoves we manufacture, we study usefulness, durability, convenience and economy in operation, rather than cheapness in price, and in so doing wc are satisfied we study the interest of those purchasing our stoves.
