The Payment mi the Public Debt. We were led Into an error In *onio eomraente we made yesterday upon the public debt question, by accepting the atatement of a financial gentleman, that gold bad advanced on Saturday to 1 50, according to private advices. The Information, it turn* out, wa» not that gold had advanced to that premium, but that It would oro long. But tho error in-the quotation of the value of gold on Saturday does not affect tho point we were making. The bondocraoy aa* aort that tho tnllatlon of the currency will doproelate tho value of greenbacks and appreelate that of gold. This la the position of Morton, and it had the endonement of hi* organ, tho Journal. In Its issue ol Saturday It stated that “tho currency ha* been contracted by Mr. McCt;r.tx)cn to tho amount of * IC. 1,000,000.” Notwithstanding tbs contracting policy of tho Secretary of tho Treasury, wo Itnd that gold has advanced in price, on tho 37th of December last, gold was quoted In New York at 1 31%, and yesterday it was 1 43%, showing an advance of about twelve cents on the dollar In nine months, while tbe volume of paper currency was being diminished all the time. In a speech In Butler county, Ohio, on Saturil'iy. Senator MouroN said tbat ten years hom e would be time enough to think of commencing to pay tho principal of the debt. If gold maintains Its present relative value to tho paper currency, and tho Interest upon tho wholo reported Indebtedness, said to bo s?'),500,000,(HH), is paid In gold, In ton years the (lovernineiit will have paid in Interest an amount no irly equal to tho principal of the debt. Tho n ational bank currency Is about $0.1 >0,000,000, and ibo deposits of gold and currency in tho Treasury will amon«* *- -k hu $t0o,ooo,ouo. s,ie«nbacks wore substituted for the former, and the latter was Invested in Interest-beating bonds, four hundred millions of bonds on which wo <>ro now paying interest in gold would bo retired, saving thereby annually In Interest twenty-four millions in gold, or about thirty-four millions in gracnhicks. But this amount, about ono-half of ail the expenses of iho (Jovernmont under Ikjinocrallr administrations, radical political tlnsiielers, like Moiiton and company, do not think worth saving. Tho ten-forty live per eimt. bonds, tho principal and Interest of which are payable In gold, are now selling under par for greenbacks. Tho saving of the Interest on $ 100,000,000, as wo have suggested, would enable tho (Jovernmont to buy iip tho $170,000,000 of ten-forty five per cent, bonds in circulation in flvo years. But Senator Monton says wo must not think of paying tho public debt for ten years, though that policy, as we have shown, If tho (lovornment maintains its faith with her;credltors, will tax tho people in that time far tho payment of interest, a sum suftleient to pay tho whole debt without diminishing the principal an lota.

The condition startlingly confirms tho views of (ieneral Sickles, frequently assorted In this correspondence, Hint without the votes of the colored men in tho recent rebel states, all tho interests ot tho country would revert into the hands of the authors of tho rebellion, and that not only would Ibo Union parly bo at tho mercy of those who f illed In their attempt to destroy the government, but every great instilution saved by (heir overthrow would be sacrificed bv tholr fatal ascendancy.—“ Uccd-
si>nar in Philadelphia Press.
The above Is an admission tbat tho North t for the most part, is irretrievably lost to the rotten radicals. “Occasional” follows up tho admission that tho negro rule over Iho whites of the South, which is made sore by numberloss frauds upon tho registry, and by tho terrorism inspired among tbo-whltes through tbe presence of bayonets, by asking tf tbe onemies of “Edwin M. Stanton, of the District of Uclumbiu; Thadihcur Stkvkns, of Pennsylvania; (JHAKi.fts Sumnkr, of Massachusetts; or Benjamin V Wapk. of Ohio,” are to triumph. Then follow tho other questions: Shall they succeed? Shall they succeed by l{. publican vote? Shall they succeed by Bepublican cowardice—by Itepubllcan prejuillo—and, more than all, .Republican ingrall-
tilde?
Kor our part. It Is very Immaterial whether tho merits of tho rotten radical party of disunion be discussed by its acts or Its personnel as above named. If any Republican approves tyranny, profligacy and eorruptlon, he has but to applaud Stanton, tbe secessionist before the war, and the man who characterized Bincoi.n as a gorilla. "Why,” cried he, “need wc send to Africa for tho gorilla, when we (referring to the arrival of Mr. l.iNCOt.N,) have one In our
midst?”
If any Republican approves "legislation outside of tho Constitution,” and it Is disposed to support one who has perjured himself by so dotn?, It t him applaud Tuaddeub Stivkns, a man of whom Colonel Fornky spoke at the date (IS3J>) of STRVKN8’ effort to subvert the state government of Tenniylvania, and “treat the election as If it had not taken place; that he was a “villain at heart,” If any Uopublican desires to supplant all sound views of public policy, as justified by men of experienced ability in statsamanshlp, by extreme measures, embracing Boston thcorlsms or extremism*, let him applaud CiiAKt.r.s Sl'MNF.n. If any Republican is In favor of female suffrage, and of agrarianism, let him applaud Bkn. Wade, the heart and soul leader of th* radical Congress. j7ir“And 1 will tell you furthermore, we expect to carry for tbe Republican ticket every om> of the rebel States. And the rebel States, in my opinion, will be the moet radical States in
tble Union.”
So said Senator Morton in a speech last Saturday. Uc also stated that h* was In the congressional committee rooms at Washington a few days ago, and read letters that had been received from all parts ef tbe South, anti they rated that tbe radicals would carry the State of Alabama by forty thousand, and also Sooth Carolina, “tbe mother of secession.” And how does Senator Morton expect to carry those States In the radical interest ? Not by tbe votes of white men-not by the consent or act of their white citizens; but by Africanizing them. To make those States radical, the intelligent whits citizen Is disfranchised, and the ignorant, degraded plantation alave la enfranchised. But a short time ago Senator Morton regarded tbs erection of colored State governments, the placing of any State government under the control of the Afrlcaa race, as an evil which should not be permitted. To prevent such a catastrophe to tbe country, ho proposed to withhold suffrage from the blscks for a term of years, urttl at least, by emigration, tbs white poput ima would be la a decided majority. We quote from n speech of hts, to show bis aversion to a condition of affzira which would place the polltieal power of a State under the control of Its Beg re pop.
ulatlon. lie said:
"1 ask. Is it desirable to have a colored State government? 1 aay tt is not. It is not for many reason*. One reason Is, that such States would constitute a balance of power. They would be bound together by the etrongest tie tbat ever binds men teg ether—the tie of eolor and race-the tie of a downtrodden and deepteed raee. Ae three hundred tboueand slaveholders, by n common Ue, were able to govern the nation for n long time, so four millions of people, bound together by n much stronger tie—dtapleed by the whole world aa they have been—would conataatly vet# and ae* together, end their united vete weald constitute n balance ef power that might control

MOW it Works.—A New Orleana telegraph, of the U*tb, makes this announcement: « A colored judge presided this morning for the first time on tbe bench of the First District Recorder’s Court in this city.” Under radical management In New Orleans, eight of the recorders or police Justices In tbat city, are negroes. In the face of these evidences of the condition of affairs which we are approaching, the radical leaden have the effrontery to aasert that they are not in favor of
negro equality.
Who Pays the Taxes?-Senator Morton in a speech in Ohio last Saturday aald “tbe men who make the noise about tazea are those who generally pay the leMt. Tazea fall moat heavily on capitalists.” Here Is an answer to this declaration from a Republican witness. General Cary, whom the radicals hired to ■tump the country for Lincoln in 1804, said, In a recent speech in Cincinnati, that he had been to tbs assessor’s office In tbe Second District of Ohio, and there he found that those engaged In the various business avocations returned as liable to taxation, $8,482,448.

Very few white persona appeared at the poll*. Among the respectable class of our etttzens, who held certificates, there was an Indtspbaltion to even indirectly indorse, by voting, the gross outrage on our ( bartered rights and liberties which was yesterday perpetrated. The negroes had it all tholr own way, rejected Scovel’s overtures and went almost to a man for Alden. It will be seen that the vote cr-st was very llgiit. No sensible man cared about playing his hand against so “dead” a thing. The “carpet tack’’ clique bad tbs cards too well stocked to lose a trick. We are asked a thousand times, “Well, what will the city council do? Will they declare tbe ‘election’ void, and hold on?” That Is for tbe mayor and his adviserato determine. Wo are not at present authorized to declare their plans, nor would it be sale to do so. Many Imported voters were in town. They came In by the car load Friday and yesterday.

Yet this Is precisely what the radicals of Pennsylvania did in 1801. They passed a law changing the payment of tho State interest from specie to “depreciated greenbacks,” and their journals openly ami boldly defended the measure. For this bill every radical In the Legislature voted, and it was promptly approved by a radical Governor. The masses throughout tho commonwcnlth can now fully understand who

—On tho Oth of July, 18C5, General Sheridan gave his opinion ot negro suffrage In an address to the returned soldiers at Chicago.

I want them to get a fair price (or their labor, but I do not think they are fitted to take part In tbe legislation of the country.” These are tho persons the radicals arc in favor of making the equals of white men at the polls,

I have said this in public and private for many years. I am glad that an effort is making in Kansas to accomplish It, and I shall rejolco when the elective franchise shall he as free to women as it is now to men. 1 think, too, that this will bo at no distant day.”

Tbe Nashville papers of yesterday are full of accounts of the election Saturday, aad comments thereon. The Yankee radicals, backed hr tte negroes, succeeded In electing Alden, their candidate, for mayor, over Fc5vell, the canildate of the Tenneeiee radicals, by an overwhelming majority. The Naehvtlle Union and%tspatzh thus speaks ot the result ot the election: The municipal election yesterday, at which Major A. E. Alden, a non-resident of the city of Nashville, received n majority of the votes cast, was. If possible, even a more disgusting farce than that enacted throughout tho State of Tennessee on tne 1st of August, when Satan’s twin brother was reinstated In the gubcinatortal choir. It bad boon confidently expected tbnt General Thomas would protect the clUzena in their chartered tight*, and when tbe truth became known all hope of anything tike n fair election waa given up. Very lew of tho white men voted, and oven many of tho radical friends of Scovel would not east n ballot for either candidate. The militia stationed nt ell the polls by General Cooper on Friday night, remained until the opening of tho election nt nine o’clock, when they were relieved by the regulars. They were placed there, it was said, to see tb»t Bfownlow’s judges, eterke end receivers sheuld secure possession of tho potU/iome. thing which not even the most unreconetouctsd ex-Oonfederate bad the remotest idea of attempting to prevent Tbe contrast between the soldiers ef Be United SUtee nnd tho scarce weaned, beardlees bumpkins from tho mountains of Riot Tennessee, was Indeed sickly enough. Little comprehending tho occasion of thei here, tbe poor fellows looked frightened and homesick, aad tf any oue ever had aay Idea of bodily harm toward any of thorn, It would have been Instantly dispelled by n eight of tho
mayor, aldermen and city counciimen, respectfully eubmit tbat wc arc ready and willing to perform tbat duty at the places deoignated, but were prevented from so doing by a strong military force, by whom possession of the places waa formally taken on tbe evening of tbe 27th Instant, and retained until a late hour this day, and that there was no election
under the charter.
The same paper critldaca General Thomas’ action severely, and says: We have no disposition to do General Thomas Injustice, for we readily concede the delicacy of his position, and the allowance which ought to be made by tbe public press, for a man can*not promptly and readily vindicate himself. But we doubt whether he will deny his dislike of Nashville and the citizens of Nashville, and dispute that his sjiupatblc* and (fiorts throughout this business have Ucu in tho Interest of Governor Brown low. Nor do we take exception to this, or wonder at it. What wc complain of is his representation of the affair in u light which h-is enabled him to completely sweep away the functions of the civil law among us in time of peace, and which has turned a city full of people over to tho rude mercies of outside passions and desires.iuicrnal.partlsan faction, strangers, military leaders, non-residents and the swarm of ignorant negroes who have been used by these as facile tools of wrong and in-
justice.
We have no rct-lress. Wc have, we fear, little or no recourse. We submit the case to the dispassionate consideration of all persons in the North who love liberty nnd still cling to republican Ideas and a i( publican form of government. We ask them if this be not despotism, what is despotism; If this be not military dictation, what is military dictnti''"; if this be not injustice to every notion o! r . ,.il and property interest, where will you i. .G it on earth to-day ? We can conceive no innervation more terrible than the annulling of the charter of a corporation and the overthrow of the only instrument which renders tbe property of a community secure. At this rate the Governor of a State, aided by federal troops, may take possession of every bank and every railroad within his roach, expel the stockholders, introduce a mode of suffrage which admits negroes only, elect such persons to fill the offices as he desires, dispose of the effects and so end the instltuilon and the interests of those who own It. At this rate there is peace and stability nowhere. No city is safe, no community is free. The laws are nothing, the courts are nbthlng, corporations are nothing, while tbe only argument for the seizure ot property is tbe pretended disloyalty of tbe owners and tbe means of doing so the troop* of the Union under tbe stars and stripes that conceal the Iniquity and do not protect the op-
pressed.
From the Louisville Courier. A Clerical Eeaesttva—Tw* Ministers ▼lei* ttie Tfeestor Ineng—Tlier are ArreMeA ae Saeptclaae Characters. The Black Croak IrreeUtthle-Looic O** far Palpi* Criticism*. For several days past there baa been a great deal of gossip in all grades ef soelety regarding tbe visit of two clergymen to our theater to see the noted play of tbe Black Crook. It was at first believed to be “a weak invention of the enemy,” but tbe facts have at last leaked out, and we now propose to lay them before our readers without exaggeration. Tbe accounts already published, we are assured by those fully acquainted with the particulars, were erroneous In many respects. From Mr. Calvert, tbe treasurer of the theater, we learn the following, which Is the comet version of
the affair:
On Wednesday, a clergyman of our city, well known to Mr. Calvert, called at the box office of the theater and expressed to Mr. C. a strong desire to see the great play of the Black Crook,4>ut felt apprehensive of public sentiment in the event of his being seen in such a place. Mr. C. Informed him that he would permit him to occupy the box office in front, and would open the Inside door, tbroug! which he could get a full view of ail tb charms in tbe last scene. That he could come in at about ten o’clock, and the gas would be lowered in the office, so that no one could observe him, after which ho could slip out of the front door without tbe slightest danger of his being discovered. The clergyman accepted the offer, and it was understood that he should attend on that night. Mr. Calvert waited for him to come, aad had all thing arranged, but he did not make bis appearance. On the following dey, however, (Thursdey) the infatuated clergyman celled et the office again, In company with a distinguished minister from a sister State, whom he Introduced to Mr. Calvert, stating that he had never in his life seen tbe inside of a theater, and like himself, was very much sffllcted with “Black Crook on tbe brain.” Mr. Calvert invited them Into tho theater and showed them all through ft. It was then arranged tbat they should attend tbat night, and avail themselves of Mr. Calvert’s offer to keep them from public view. Night same, and so did tho clergymen, but instead of carrying out the programme arranged, they appeared at tbe door In disguise, both having whiskers worthy tbe face of a “Black Donald.” They got a little boy to purchase two tickets for the second tier, on which they passed In. The doorkeeper at once saw through their disguise, and beyond that he “smelt a nt” After watching them closely for some time, he sent word to officers Gal'agher and Seay that he had two suspicl >us characters up stairs, whom it would he well to arrest. The officers accordingly went up stairs, and found tbe two gentlemen sitting in tbe second tier, apparently very mack absorbed In the play. They were tapped an tbe shoulders by tbe officers, and politely Informed that they were under arrest, and at the same time one of the officer* pulled tbe large whiskers from tbe face of one of them. They were terribly alarmed, and the great drop* of sweat stood on their forehead* larger
than green peas.
Tbe Louisville clergyman, as soon as he recovered from his consternation, made a “clean breast of it.” He told tbe officers that they were ministore, and had come to gratify their curiosity, end assumed their disguise to eonooal their true characters. For the train of their statement they referred tbe officers to Mr. Calvert. The affair went no further, tbe offleers being entirely satisfied that no harm had been done or wee Intended. Tbe two gentlemen came down to tho office, and the one tram abroad grew courageous. He said, since It bnd gene that far, aad they worn exposed, he wen id take a seat in tbe drees circle and “brave It out,” and he did so, sitting until the curtain dropped on tbe dosing scene. Our Louisville divine bad got “enough In bis,” after hla arrest, and left rather depressed m mind. He entirely abandoned »U hope of redemption, aad was under tbe B>- .resslon that It would terminate hla minlsUn.il career la
our dtp.
In eenehrten, we would state that It Is but Justice to tbe clergymen of our city that the names of the parties be given to the public. Aa to public sentiment, wc Incline to tbe b* lief that the bold clergyman who “bearded

ment and to pay u» nabobs.

“Who Is that poor woman T’ Ob, she is another one of cur victims. She had u husband, Ire went to war, took a cotd while on a raid for cotton, mules and silver ware for tbe benefit ol Curtiss, Logan, Batter, Banks and other thieving generals, and at last died in hospital. Ills wife, or bis widow. Is now working to support the children. The government is real good to her—pays her a bounty—a few pence a day for her to dream of her murdered husband. As Us bondholders pay no taxes, and it does not cost us one cent to support tho government, wc are willipg all the women in America should have bounties so long as they pay them themselves from their own earnings and do not force i s protected bondholders to pay them! Let them have bounties,ny all means, and our Interest Is payable in gold! Drive on slowly. * ••Who ia that in caged?’’ That, my dear, is a poor miner—he is digging gold for us bondholders. Don’t disturb him—don’t say anything till wc pass him, for the returns from California and .Montana lead us to fear a little trouble from sucb fellows., j But here is a cage, my dear, which is nice. | You see those orphans ail at work? ’They are our slaves—their fathers died in battle and us bondholders support them. To -be sure we don’t pay for their support, but we levy taxes on the farmers, miners, mechanics, widows and children of the country to support these institutions. We mix up these things, taking care to draw our interest in gold and to sandwich ourclaims between bounties and orphans, and so the willing people of America toil on. Ain’t it nice, my dear, to be smart, and run this show to suit a few of us bondholders? Never mind that cage, my dear! Driver, crack up the horses a little! Touch that off one a little on the flanks with th* wfc*»eBbne. That cage is full oi' women, victims of politic*!- pcMCRers, members ot Congress, Government officers, lecherous old deacons, and others ct tho God nnd morality party. They were once good girls, good women, but they fell during tbe war. But they pay taxes to support us bondholders; they furnish amusements for our manly sons; they add to the revenue, and thtir cages are distills which gather gold from infamy, and that gold buys the laces you wear, my dear! Drive cn,
John!
“ fVhat cage is UuxL ?"
A very pretty one, my dear. Hold on, driver. Don’t you hear the music of machinery ? The victims there are the factory operatives of New England—slaves to wealth— toilers to support us. \7e work them early and late: pay them In greenbacks, while our interest is payable In gold. They work more hours each day than ever did the slaves of the South. They live poorer and work harder. We raise their wages once and then lower them three times; they work at the sound of the whistle or Up ol tho bell; march to their boarding houses in long lines, like convicts; eat from boarding house Ubles, and make excellent slaves. If they knew their strength they would upset their cage, but tho sturdy negro there, with his rod, keeps them in very
nicely.
It is a very nice show, my dear! And cow we will see the fun! The keeper will, with his great steal hook, go around and draw out tbe scrip they have earned while we have l een looking at them, and it will serve to buy wine and game for our dinners, pianos for

The following log book story may seem to some almost incredible, and it has lost nothing of that quality by age and repetition: In the course of the voyage, that dreadful disease, the ship fever, broke out among the crew. One of the sailors, among the first victims, was accompanied by his son, a lad of fourteen years, who was strongly attached to his father, and remained with him day and night, and never could be persuaded to leave him for a moment. A large shark was seen every day following the vets el, evidently for the purpose of devouring any one who should die and be committed to the deep. After lingering a few days, the sailor died. A ■ was the custom at sea, he was sewed up in a blanket, and for the purpose of sinking him an old grindstone and a carpenter’s axe were pnt tn with him. The very impressive service of the Episcopal Church was then read and the body committed to the deep. Toe poor boy. who had watched the proceedings closely, plunged after his father, when the eenormous shark swallowed them both. Tbe second day after this dreadful scene, as the shark continued to follow the vessel, for there were others sick in the ship,one of the sailors proposed, as they had a shark hook on hand, to make an effort to take him. They fastened tho hook to a long rope, and baiting it with a piece of pork, threw it into the ses, and the shark instantly swallowed it. Having thus hooked him, by means of a windlass, they hoisted him on board. After he was dead they prepared to open him, when one of the satiora, stooping down for that purpose, suddenly paused, and after listening a few moments,declared most solemnly he heard a low gutteral sound, which appeared to proceed from the shark. The sailor*, after enjoying a hearty laugh at his expense, proceeded to listen for themselves, when they heard a similar sound. They then proceeded to open the shark, when tbe mistery was explained. It appears that the sailor was not dead, but in a trance; and hla son, on making this discovery when inside tbe shark, had, by means of a knife, ripped open the blanket. Having thus liberated bis father, thev both went to work and righted up the old grindstone—the boy waa turning, the father was holding the old ship carpenter’s ax, sharpening it for tbe purpose of cutting their way out of their Jonah like prison, which occasionea the noise beard bv tbe sailor. As it wss the hottest season ef the year, and very little air stirring where they were at work, they were both •wealing tremendously.
