Tfe« —Hf»y< 1aw« We b»Tt for aalo tho Tortoao bleak forme for eppllceUoBt under tho bankrupt low. Attorneys and others desiring any number of these blanks, will please soad thetf orders a once. • IfceJrw nne* Ijawawcea. The Jonrnal, la discussing what It terns the •'greeAsek projects,” remarks; “Those who assert the right to pay the bonds la greenback currency must also show how a sufficient amount of It may be commanded by the Government before they can be entitled to submit the question to the determination of Congress or the people.” This has been done repeatedly. It has been shown that with retrenchment and rigid economy in the public expenditures—an approximation to what they were previous to the aecession of the Republican party to power, with moderate taxation, It would only require a few years to cancel the public debt. The Journal discusses at length Its representation of the views of General Binxra, Mr. tmanbXTON and Thid. smvKirs. In regard to the latter that paper says: *- Mr. Stevens proposes no method ofcpaylng the deot, although be takes the ground that ft may bo lawfully and honestly paid In greenbacks.” _ A reading of the letter of Mr. Stkydcs on the national floances will show that he does propose a method of paying the debt. Be

says:

“ Various methods are suggested to redeem the five-twenties In currency. One very able writer suggests a loan in greenbacks, to their amount, so that afterwards the greenbacks may be redeemed with the others. If we sre satisfied that there Is not mors than a sufficient currency to do the business of the country, together with Its probable Increaee, then that would be the proper method, without inflating prices ae a counter balance to the savfng. Hut if it is bellevod that tho present and prospec live business of the country would fsirly absorb an amount large enough to redeem these bonds as they become due, and not Injuriously increase tbe business; then the true way would be for the Government to Issue legal tenders equal to tbe amount to be ro. deemed, and thus save the Interest both of the

id a new Jos** indeed, but a small por..»*ut he issued monthly, say •4,000^00. to Imperceptibly affect the currency, “The business men here comnlalxy'that the

retiring of f 1,000,000 a month without anv substitute causes a stringency tn the money

market very Injurious to business operations, l doubt not that that addUlonaClntm would

W in some way be taken up in the course of bus-

iness without being injuriously ftlt si sn exp insion. 1 may here state tl||t I do not see why nearly a |100,000,000 ia coin has been constantly lying Idle in tbe TVeseury, when It might have paid at least fogfee that amount of

tho national debt.”

If tho flve-twentiee^hould be paid as Mr. Stevkxs suggeotsjjtfie bulk 0 f tbe liquidated indebtedness^fr'ifce Government would be soon tyVpcd out and that done, the balance could be easily managed. The Journal says “what Mr. Pknulkton would do is not so clear.” lie never proposed, as that paper states, “to issue greenbacks from the Government printing presses, with which to pay each batch of bonds, as they arrived at the age of five years.” In a speech which he delivered early in the canvass, he expressly stated that In his suggestions for the redemption of the public debt, he did not propose to add a dollar to the present Issue of paper currency, or any Increase of taxation. Mr. Pihdlktok has clear ideas upon tbe public debt question, and be presents them In a manner that can be easily comprehended. In discussing tbe subject at Milwaukee, be thus states wbat be would do to relieve tbe country from tbe burden of Its enormous indebtedness, without Increasing the taxes or adding to tbe present volume of tbe paper currency. He said: If you look at the report made to-day in tbe evening papers by telegraph, you will tee tbe national banks have f<133,000,000 of the bonds of the United States deposited In the treasury as security for their circulation. You know these national banks are established. A man buys tbe bonds of the Government of tbe United States, and deposits them In Washington and receives tbe interest on them year by vear, at six per cent., in gold. Be receives ninety per cent, of bank paper, which be brings home here to your own city, establiebea a bank, issues these notes and derives the interest of six, or ten, or twenty per cent., as tbe case may be, when you borrow those notes.

[Cheers.]

Three hundred and thirty-eight million* of these bonds are, by tbe report of Secretary of the Treasury, deposited to-day as security in tbe vaults of tbe treasury. Three hundred millions of bank paper 1* Issued on the faith of these bonds. Now, gentlemen, I maintain that this circulation ought to be called in that these bonds ought to be redeemed with legal tenders, which will take tbe place »f that bank

circulation. [Applause.]

What would be^tbe effect of this? Tbe seventeen hundred millions of Interest bearing bonds would be reduced to fourteen hundred millions; and twenty millions of dollars would be saved to the Government from the interest which is paid to the banker* for the bonds which they have deposited. [Cheers.] Now, then, suppose you take these twenty millions of Interest which Is saved and add it to the forty-eight millions of dollars which these gentlemen ssy they esn psy from tbe current revenue, snd you have sixty-eight millions of dollars, year by year, and If you convert that sum Into greenbacks, at 140, you have a hundred millions of dollars a year, and If this is appropriated as a sinking fund, you can psy off tbe whole debt in less tbsn fifteen years, without adding one dollar to your taxation, or one dollar to the circulating medium.

(Applause.]

Hear In mind that I am urging a proposition that these bonds can be paid In greenbacks without Inflating tbe currency. Bear In mind this can be accomplished In twelve or fourteen years without tbe addition of one dollar to your taxation, or one dollar to your circulating medium. And now, bear In mind, also, that I have not touched tbe revenues of the Government, which, In 1866, amounted to five hundred and elxty millions of dollars; nor have I attacked tbe expenditures of that year

of radical administration.

But now set the radical reformer to work. Let him cut oil every extravagance — lop off every unnecessary expenditure. Let him reduce the current expenses of the Government to 1150,000.000 a year—I mean expenses Independent of the intereat on tbe public debt— though It ought to be reduced to $100,000,000: that would be twenty-five millions more than Mr.Buchanan expanded; that would be as much In one year as Andrtw Jackson expended In any of the four years of his administration. But let the expenditure be reduced to $150,000,000, and wbat do you have? $110,000,OUO for current expenses, $130,000,000 for Interest upon the public debt, snd $100,000,000 of a sinking fund, as I bavs described, and you have the aggregate of $380,000,000, and If you take from that tbe revenue of 1866, which amounted to $560,000,000, you have a balance of $180,000,000, which yon may add to your sinking fund, snd thus bring it up to $380,000,000 annually. And with that you can, In five years, pay every cent of the principal and Interest upon your public debt, without the addition of a dollar to the circulating medium

of the country. [Applause.]

When live years shall have passed, you can

$200,000,000 mors, and by retiring your greenbacks as tbe great burden of taxation Is reduced, you will be able to pay the debt matorlog in 1881, and at tbe same Urns to call In your greenbacks and return to the constitutional currency of the country. And yet you see that I hav* not proposed to increase tbe taxes or add one farthing to the

currency.

If our neighbor has never before read the views of Mr. I’xwdlxtow, a* presented In the foregoing extract from his recent Milwaukee speech, it must concede, alter perusing It, that there h no lack of clearness on his part. Bat that paper remarks: “It resins to ns that these gentlemen sre making a great fuss about a matter of no present importance/’ We sbonld tbink that s financial polteywbleb provides for an early payment of the public debt snd tbe diminution of the taxation which bears so heavily upon tbe national Industry Is s matter of some Importance, nod It Is, except perhaps to that class In the community who hug the fallacious Idea that a public debt la a public blessing, and who are willing to continue tbe present burden* upon tbe country to advance class Interests end te continue

the present party rule.

An entertaining book of sporting gossip, recently published in London nnder the odd title of “Sportaeoreplaae,” gives, 1a the words of Captain Horatio Boas, tbe secret of Me remarkable preservation of his fine physique to a late period In llfo. “I attribute It,” he says, “In great measure to having always kept myaelfln a state of moderate training.

The Republican organ pronounces the extravagance end corruption which have characterized the Republican administration of tho Government, and the present enormous taxation a bugbear, and that, lirxBvrxn says, meant 'no alarm or frighten with idle phantoms.” Representative Dawza, a Republican member of Congress, charged. In a speech delivered in that body, Hut tho stealings from tho public treasury amounted to more then ell tbe expenditures of the Government under President Bcchajuk’s administration. Was this statement n “bugbear” ? In bis recent letter upon the public finances, Thai). St** vxks, chairman of the House Committee on

Stxvfws, who ought to know If any body does, admits that billions have been thrown nwny and millions are yet being thrown away by mismanagement. And who le responsible? Can*It be charged upon n powerless minority that for tbe pest six years have had no voice or control in the administration of the Government? If Immense sums have been and are still being lost by mismanagement, it la owing, ee Thad. Stkvems concedes, to the financial policy pursued by the Government for the peat six years, and the Government during that period has been represented by the radical party. The tax payflta when they liquidate their forced tribute to the Government, do not feel that taxation is n “bugbear”—an Idle phantom to alarm or frighten, but an exceeding unpleaaent and burdensome reality, and a heavy drain upon their reaourcee. The Nigger. -Thirty-six negroes were elected delegatee to the Georgia reconstruction convention. UmcLUGOrr Scttragk.—At the left election In Wilkes county, Georgia, one negro voted e Jeweller’e receipt for a gold watch taken for repairs, and another an old alma-

nac.

—Mr. Irvin was murdered by a negro la«t Saturday at bis plantation, near Utica, Alabama. The murderer croeeed Into Warren county, where Mr. Whitaker attempted to arrest him, and on bis refusal to surrender, shot him mortally. —The Selma, Alabama, Timer, learns that as some negroes the other day were passing near Beech Creek, one remarked, “ This Is the place where so many men have been murdered,” and jestingly began to fire his revolver, when a charge, going off prematurely, killed one of his companions. The freedmen’s bureau, of Vicksburg, bss a practical way of settling questions of ownership. Tbey are first allowed to be regularly tried, and then the gallant chief reverses the decision, and adjudicates the property to the first black man who applies for it. Wis* and Witty.—Referring to old Ben. Wade’s declaration that he won’t back out from negro suffrage, the New York Timer says he seems to be very much like tbe passenger st sea who In s storm tied himself for safety to the anchor. —A large meeting of colored men was held In Leavenworth, Kansas, on the 11th Instant, to take Into consideration the late defeat of negro suffrage In that State. After reciting In a preamble their regret at tbe result of the late election, and their determination to dedicate to the cause their time and money, tbey resolved to recommend to the State Central Committee to call a State Convention, to assemble as soon as practicable, for tbe purpose of taking organized measures to petition Congress to give them the right of suf-

frage.

—As In Ohio and Kansas, bordering the late slave States, so in Minnesota, away up north, bordering tbe British Possessions, negro suffrage has been voted down. And this when It is known that there Is scarcely a resident negro In tbe State. Tbe last census shows but one hundred and twenty.six males, or eighteen negroes of voting age, and those were steamboat hands who held a temporary habitation la the State during the season of

navigation.

—At the session of the Maryland Baptist Union Association, recently held in Washington, the question of negro equality was discussed, and some of the white members emphatically said they would never admit tbe negro to social equality, that they would never sit down to the same table with them, but would willingly extend to them the right hand of religious fellowship. Tbe declaration was meekly received by the colored brethren present, one of whom said tbe colored people did not desire social equality with the whites, snd that equality, like witer, would find its

own level.

Reconstruction in Louisana.—The Cretcent gives an account of an affair which happened at Gretna last Sunday. Two tbreo hundred negroes, variously ar paraded the street tore down the sign of a German shoemaker, and on his remonstrating, biickbatted him, broke bis window and stole bis sboes. After further disorder tbey repaired to the colored Baptist Church, where a negro orator advised them “If any whites made a demonstration on the occasion, to kill every white person la Gretna.” A well behaved negro who tried to quiet them had to flae for his life, and white women who went to get their husbands nwsy from danger, were assailed with most oppro-

brious language.

A Black Workingman’s convention.— The New Orleans Crescent gives notice of a “Workingmen’s convention.” to meet In New Orleans on the 15th of next month, and to contain delegates from Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas snd Arkansas. The Crescent says: “The members of the association are all respectable colored men, raised In the South, and of no mean claims to Intelligence and Information. It Is their earnest desire to withdraw tbe attention of their brethren from the mad pursuit of office and politics to tbe more reasonable, useful and profitable occupation of

agricultural labor.

Who are Their Friends?—Tbe Savannah Newt and Herald says: “Let tbe colored

man ask himself why labor Is money Is scarce, and tbe neces

high at tbe South? Who lays on tobacco a tax of three times Its value? Who renders tbe production of cotton unremuneratlve except to Northern manufacturer*?'’ It may not be amiss, too, to answer tbe question. It Is none other tbsn tbe Northern radicals, who profess to be tbe peculiar friends of tbe black man, imselves, and

claim bis vote as due only to tbsmselves

Tbe negroes will find all this out after awhile.

The Effect of Necromania.—The New York Herald, In the course of an article showing how tbe radical theory of reconstruction is making a combination of Haytl and

Jamaica In the South, says:

In Haytl we have nothing but a war of races since Its discovery by Columbus. From the negro Emporor, Jacques I, In 1804, to tbe present ruler, Salnsve, the Hsytlen part of tha Island has presented even a worse condition than that which is presented in the long years of wholesale Spanish murders which made its horrors a proverb. How rapidly tha country marches to tbe primitive barbarism, which u the delight of tnc negro race. Is best shown by the vslne of the exports fust previous to the accession of Jacques I, compared with those ot to-day. At that time they reached the largo figure of $37/118,000. To-day they

are scarcely $8,000,000.

But II Haytl exhibits a sorry argument for negro domination, what does Jamaica show? Since the Island was given up to negro rule its march has boon rapid from bad to wore#.

onttl to-day one of the finest and formerly one of tho most productive of all the West India group lies but a wreck In negro hands. All this has taken place In thirty-four years, notwithstanding the effort* of tho English government to prevent It. And how of

Bnt Liberia is nothing loth# negro poorhouse wo are establishing in tbe whole Southern half of tha United Btateo. Wo go Into tbls negro asylum business as wo go Into everything tise In America.

Wade says: “ We (the radicals) will have the Southern States reorganized ” by tbe ■ext FrealdenUal election, “ and they will vote right. Then we can rely on enough Northern Statee to insure the election of our man, vfboever be may be.” He has here pat the whole radical plan of reconstruction into the fewest possible words. All men who oppose such a plan, for a purpose thus confessed, are called “disloyal” by Wade snd bis party journals. Kansas Election.—The official majorities of twenty-one counties In Kansas, and the reported majorlUoa of six others, the most populous In the State, give negro suffrage, 5/196; against 13,563. Female suffrage/!,043; against 13,498. Disfranchising disloyal persons, 9,253; against 8,603. Tha Senate win stand: Republicans, 30; Democrats, 5; and the Houae will probably atand: Republicans, 60; Democrats,

The Work of old Thad. Stevens.—The National Intelligencer, In an article discuasIng Thad. Stevens’ policy, remarks. Adverse fortune in California, Ohio, Now York, Pennsylvania. New Jersey, everywhere, makes it neceseary that Congress should have the power to do what the people have refused to do. Adverse fortune. In very truth, has narrowed down the Jurisdiction of Old Tbad’a system very much—very much indeed. The thread of hia political life ia badly frayed, and, we fear, will hardly stand tbe strain of many Congresses. He still presides over the political party that passed the reconstruction laws; but, when those great measures were adopted, his power was supreme over all the country North, and over all the country South. Since then his dominions, principalities, snd powers have been greatly reduced. Every foot of ground from tbe Capitol to Vermont and Lake Ontario baa been lost. There Is left to Old Thad Stevens, In truth, nothing bat the ten negro governments which came out of the ashes and cinders of Southern reconstruction. “We come,” said the chief of these negroes the other day, in Virginia, “to rob thia bouse, and to do what we pleaae with Its Inhabitants,” addressing a mother and daughter at the second floor window. The mother and daughter pointed a musket and pistol at the enfranchised citizens, and tbey ran off incontinently. This is reconstruction. The eddying currents of Old Thad’s policy have riled the waters and drawn to tha surface the foul deposits of many centuries. This is white proscription and negro enfranchisement. It Is all the work of Old Thad Stevens. Boone County.—At a meeting of the central committee of Boone county, held at Lebanon, on Saturday, 16th instant. It was revived to hold a mass meeting on the 14th of December, for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend the State convention on the 8th of January next. J. M. Scott, secretary. Auditor of State.—The Rockport Democrat, referring to the candidacy of R. S. Hicks* Esq., for the nomination for Auditor of State,

says:

“ Mr. Hicks served four years as deputy auditor under John P. Dunn, since which time he has served eight years as clerk oftbedreuit court of Spencer county, and now occupies a position that but few men can boast of, without a single personal enemy in the county or in tbe State. The citizens of Spencer county would be more than pleased, and feel highly honored, should Mr. Hicks receive the nomination at tbe 8th of January convention for auditor of the State.” Noble County.—The Democrats of Noble county met in convention on Saturday, tbe sixteenth Instant, and elected delegates to the Democratic State ConveL.ion. Samuel E. Alvord, Esq., was unanimously recommended for tbe nomination for Lieutenant Governor. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Alvord and Stoll. The Wisconsin Election.—The returns from all tbe counties In Wisconsin gives Fairchild, the Republican candidate for Governor, 4,744 majority over Tallmadge, Democrat. In tbe election laat year tbe Republi. cans claimed Wisconsin by 23,907 majority, a loss of 19,163 in a single year. General Sherman.—Wbe Washington correspondent of the Richmond, Virginia, Dispatch writes as follows: “There are many indication* of a determination on the part of influential parties to present the name of General Sherman as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The strong assurances that President Johnson has had from Sherman of the Indorsement by the latter of his (tbe President’s) policy of restoration make it certain that the nomination of that officer for the highest poaltlen in tbe country would be very acceptable to the present Chief Magistrate. Some of the radicals are consoling themselves with the Idea that If Grant should be the nominee of their party, accepting the platform with not a single plank that now forms a portion of it ignored, Sherman coaid not be Induced to accept a nomination In opposition to his present superior officer. Sefar, however, there are no reliable facts upon which such an assertion can be grounded. If Grant and Sherman both sbonld accept nominations, custom st least w«nld require a resignation of their present positions, snd there could then be no official superiority. It Is in no respect Improbable, however, that the increasing demand of tbe people fer a greater recognition of civil law than has characterized the last five or six years will prevent any further progress of the military on any New Hampshire Democratic Convention.—The following are tbe resolutions

adopted:

Resolved, That it has ever been a cardinal doctrine of the Democracy of New Hampshire that fidelity to the Union and the Constitution by which tbe Union was created ia the paramount and indispensable duty of every citizen; that we hare been true to this conviction aiwaye, and we will never abate our zeal In their behalf until the Union shall be restored and tbe Constitution respected and obeyed as tbe supreme law of tbe land. Resolved, That the congressional plan of reconstruction, as confessed by its framers, wholly outside the Constitution, is a revolutionary usurpation, and that the attempt by Congress to establish the practical supremacy of tbe negro race, Is a most atrocious crime against me principles of republican government and the civilization of the age, and deserves the severe and indignant denunciation

of every true American citizen.

Resolved, That the bitter fruits of legislation outside of the Constitution are seen in the practical disruption of the Union, the demoralization of the public conscience, the stagnation of all legitimate business^ the depreciation of the public credit, the enormous and still increasing burdens of taxation and the grave apprehensions of business men and statesmen that still greater calamities are

impending over the country.

Resolved, That we are in favor ot equal taxation of all tbe property in the State and nation so far as that result can be attained without a violation of the national faith, and with a scrupulous regard to the Constitution. Resolved, That the practical effects of rigid sumptuary laws at all timas and in all places have been to embarrass and abridge the liberty which belongs to American citizen*— to generate a disregard for law among both officers and people, and to change the form without lessening the extent of the evils they seek to remedy, and that tbe late decisive verdict of Massachusetts against such legislation la la

harmony with our own convictions, end sag geete the impolicy of similar legislation here

Resolved, That we extend our hearty con-

gratulations to our brethren of the center end the West for the signal victories they hare achieved in behalf of the Constitution end the Union; end that we cordially invite ell conservative men ot Now Hampshire without regard to paat political designations to unit* with us in an honert and earnest effort to emulate these noble examples to achieve a victory not in the Interest of any party, but In the

name and behalf of a common country. ••aural •heraanm’a AAdress. The address of Lieutenant General Sher-

The Valley Railroad Disaster.—All the Ouiltg Parties in Custody.—Tba other two boye. Crow and Briggs, who, in company with the boy Lane, placed the obstruction* on the Valley read track, by which Mr. Dodge wee killed, were arrested on Saturday as Paxton, Illinois, and taken to the county jail at Champaign City. Briggs haa a half brother at Paxton. They were brought to this city this morning and lodged in jail. They make no denial of the crime, although their story differs somewhat from ths.confession of Lane. They say that it waa he. Lane, who first proposed the obstruction, and told them he had once thrown a train off the track near Reynolds, on tbe Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad. Lane told them that in the confusion of the smash up they could no doubt get some money. They waited near the track until after the train was wrecked, but finding that Dodge was hurt, ran up the lane to where their horses were tied, mounted and went to widow Briggs’, where they frolicked until midnight. They seem stupidly unconcerned about the whole affair, and think It a small matter ae “only one was killed.” Colonel DeHart has been retained for the detente. An Irishman, who told the boys they had better leave or the railroad men would bang them, was arrested on Saturday, for aiding and abetting in their escape. He was brought np on the late train Saturday night, and lodged ig jail.—LoAn/eMe Courier. The Funeral of Israel Dodge—Tcztfmonial to a Brave and True Man—Lafayette, on yesterday, paid high honors to the memory of a brave and a true man. All the neighboring towns united in the testimonial. The Masonic brethren, and the brotherhood of the footboard,came in numbers from Fort Wayne, Loganaport, Peru, Danville, Attica, and all along the line of the several railroads leading Into Lafayette. The street in front of hla humble home was literally packed with people. The members of the Masonic, order in line of march extended from the house to the church. The remains, attended by sixteen pall bearers from the Masons and Brotherhood, proceeded by the stiver band and followed by a close carriage containing the wife, daughter and mother of the deceased, passed through the open line. The Masons and spectators stood with uncovered heads while they paaaed, and, falling in behind, filled every available seat in tho Second Presbyterian Church before the rear of the procession bed left the house. Not one-fourth of the Immense throng could obtain admission. The funeral eermon by Rev. Mr. Barr waa very Impressive, but altogether too long, considering the numbers in attendance, their distance from home, and the impatience of the throng on the outside. The procession to the cemetery wia the lar-

in mourning, wss sn Interesting feature ot the funeral pageant. Thousands of people had preceded the procession to the grays, and thronged In the carriage way and aisles of GreenDosh cemetery. The beautiful and Impressive burial service of the Masonic fraternity completed the exercises, and all that waa mortal of the noble engineer waa consigned to the grave. The lesson of his life remains. He will not have died in vain, 11 the young men of tbe land Interpret the demonstration of yesterday .aright, snd white emulating the example of bis blameless life, bis sobriety, industry snd integrity, learn to estimate the value of character as above all price.—Lafayette Courier. Murder A wealthy farmer, named Ben. Tee, who lived In Washington township, Tippecanoe county, was shot dead In his door yard on Monday evening. He wss to have had a settlement, st the time, with a tenant with whom he had some difficulty, and to that cause the murder may be attributed.
