TUESDAY, APRIL 23,1872.
Has he Not Been Paying off a Portion of tlie Public Debt? The only argument used by the officeholders in their support of the re-election of Gen. Grant, is that he has been paying off the public debt. To say nothing about the policy of taxing the people at this time, to pay any portion of this debt before it is due, we can not see how this ought to be taken as a sufficient reason why the President's term of office should be continued another term. The Hon. David A. Wells, as is shown by the Chicago Tribune, has recently published a statement showing the payments of the public debt made during the Administrations of Andrew Johnson and President Grant, respectively, from which it appears that the rate of payment was about twice as rapid under the former as under the latter. "This statement is fortified by a speech of the Hon. George S. Boutwell, delivered in the House of Representatives in the last year of Johnson's Administration. In this speech Mr. Boutwell shows that the pay'ments during the three years of Johnson's term which had then expired amounted to $1,066,000,000. But as Mr.
Boutwell included in this the regular payments for interest and pensions for three years, the actual reduction of the debt amounted to only $470,256,650 under Johnson, against $299,649,762 for the corresponding period under Grant. During the Johnson period, however, there was issued to the Pacific railroads $42,199,000 of bonds, and paid to the Russia Government $7,200,000 for Alaska. Both these Hums should be added to the atfiount of debt-reduction credited to Johnson, making the whole amount of reduction under his term about $520,000,000. Mr. Wells might have added that about $12,000,000 of Boutwell's debt-reduction was accomplished by the sale of warmaterial to France.
What does all this prove? Simply that the people paid heavy taxes under both Johnson and Grant (heavier under Johnson than under Grant), and that ti\,e surplus, over and above current expenditures, was applied to the reduction of the debt. There are, three*'ways, says Mr. Wells, to use a surplus of public revenue. One way is to steal it, another is to hoard it, and the third is to pay debts with it. Both Johnson and Graut, or more properly speaking, McCulloch and Boutwell, adopted the third way, and, the example having been set by McCulloch, he is entitled to the greater credit, if any credit is due, for the exercisS of thte plainest common sense."
It may be an argument in favor of the re-election of General Grant* that he has not stole the large surplus that annually accumulates in the Treasury, but if he is honest (and we are all honest men) there was nothing else that he could do, but to apply this money to the liquidation of a portion of the nation's indebtedness. This he did, honestly, properly, and if he had not done it, it would, almost have done itself.
But, if so much credit is to "be given to President Grant for paying off a portion of the public debt during hisAdminis tration, how are you to withhold praise Irom ex-President Johnson, when he paid twice as much as Grant has in the same length of timet Is not the same sauce that you give to the goose, also good for the gander? Can you consistently, praise Grant and anathematize Johuson for the same thing? It does not seem to us that you can, and yet the Radicals do

The Liberal Republican Movement. MINNESOTA. 7b the Hepublicans of Minnesotd 9
Ther undersigned, Republicans of ths State of Miunesota,—b^fieving that the management of the party with which they have acted for years past has fallen into the hands of men who are using the organization for the purpose of self-ag-grandizement and plunder rather than for the interest of the public at large, aud recognizing that it is impossible to rescue the Government from the men now in power by the usual means resorted to by political parties, inasmuch as the voice of the people will not be heard in the Office-Holders' Convention at Philadelphia,—do hereby declare: 1. That military rule in all parts of the*country should cease, and no further punishment be Inflicted upon citizens for past political oflenees. 2. That the holder of the Presidential office shall be limited to one term. 3.
That Federal taxation should be imposed for ajeYenue
6 That corruption in public officials should be rebuked, the acts of'the guilty investigated and exposed, and the perpetrators punished without fear or favor.
Believing that the extraordinary emergency requires extraordinary action, we invite all Republicans of Minnesota who agree with the sentiments expressed herein, to unite with us in attending the Liberal Republican Ma9s Convention called to meet in Cincinnati on the first day of May next, there to counsel with Republicans from all parts of the country and determine upon the means and measures necessary to accomplish the desired reforms.
This call is signed by a large number of names,
embracing
some of the most
influential Republicans the State. In speaking of the above call the St. Paul
Ttie^^oove address, though signed by orominent Republicans from various portions of the State, has had no general circulation, as there has been no assemblage for an interchange of views among those who favor the Reform movement. That very many would have been glad of the opportunity to join in the address, whose names are not appended, is doubtless true, and, but for the informal manner of its presentation, a greater opportuuity would have been afforded. The signers have neither desire nor idea of constituting themselves especial leaders of the new and important movement which uids fair to revolutionize the country, but they invite co-operation and support, upon an equal footing, of all who believe that the time has come when action should be taken to remedy the evils noted. Since the great meeting in New York on the 12th, the Presidential camoaien for 1872 can be considered fairly opened. The founders of the Republican party the men who havg been the most steadfast friends of the country, appeal to their brethren to meet them in council at Cincinnati to consider the public abuses of the officeholders, and to this invitation Minnesota makes response. No one joining thie movement need entertain the fear that he is going over to the Democratic party. He is simply placiug himself in the ranks of honest men, who regard political parties as having higher ends to serve than securing public plunder.
The Cincinnati Convention will be the most imposing assemblage that has gathered since the Chicago Convention that nominated Lincoln in 1860. It will embrace some of the ablest statesmen of the day, and that the counsels will be wise and deliberate there is no room to doubt.
The Germans in St. Paul (as in all parts of Minnesota) are fully aroused to the importance of the political situation, but they have preferred to take independent action, ana have therefore decided to call amass meeting of their countrymen to assemble at Turners' Hall on Saturday evening, when their platform will be adopted. The following is their call:
At a meeting held yesterday it was resolved to call amass meeting of German Republicans for the purpose of consulting on the position which we ought to take in regard to the next Presidential election, and to invite the attendance of every German Republican. H. Bingeuheimer, Henry Allersinun,

MASSACHUSETTS.
The undersigned have observed with pleasure that the call for a gathering Republicans at Cincinnati on the first of May, sets forth every principle for which the Republican party has contended, and invites only those who have sustained, and pledge themselves by no act or word to endanger the principles of the Repub lican party, and who are in earnest in demanding reforms, which no Republican, faithful to those principles in their logical application, can fail to support.
We believe that great reform in all departments of Government, Municipal, State, and National, though imperatively demanded by public interests., can only be secured by* consultation and agreement among those who realize its necessity, and that such a consultation as the one proposed will be productive of great good to the country.
We therefore hope to see the Convention of May 1st, largely attended by the true Republicans from all parte ,of the country.
To this call are attached a large number of names, embracing some of the first Republicans in.the State.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
MADISON, April 20.—A Liberal Republican meeting to choose delegates to the Cincinnati Convention was held at Turner Hall to-uight. The attendance was smaller than was hoped, and several of those present have heretofore been Democrats. Speeches were made by R. P. Main, of Oregon Major H. A. Tenny and William Chariton, of this city the latter County Treasurer two terms. All these were among the first members of the Republican party. Thtey indulged in criticism of the present Administration, and argued the necessity of a change. S. D. Carpenter, formerly editor of the Patriot, announced that he had left the Democratic party in toto, and would be'Liberal Republican henceforth. It .was at first proposed to adjourn the meeting to some time next week to sec'ure the attendance of the farmers, but it was concluded that they were too busy, and a committee of ten was appointed to select delegates to the Cincinnati Convention.
MILWAUKEE, April 21.—A meeting of Liberal Reformers was held at the City Hall, last evening, Composed principally of Democrats and German Republicans^* Hon. D. H. Johnson and others addressed the meeting. -DUBUQUE, IA., April 20.—In response to the call numerously signed, a large and enthusiastic meeting of Liberal Republicans was held here at the City Hall, last evening, to choose delegates to the State Convention, to be held at Daven-

PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, April 18.—The following call has been issued by the Liberal Republicans: To the Republicans of Pennsylvania:
The undersigned propose to attend the National Convention of Republicans, to be held in Cincinnati, and cordially invite our Republican brethren of Pennsylvania who believe that party should have a nobler destiny than mere subordination to personal purposes to join in the deliberations of that body. Accepting the proposed Convention as entirely
of
and within the Republican party aud as designed to promote the success of Republican measures liberalized in accord with the necessities of the nation, we deem it our duty to meet our brethren from all other States who are struggling for the manhood of Republican citizens and for the honored prosperity of the whole country, and we believe the time has come for equal laws, equal protection, and equal privileges to be accorded to all the people of the Union.
That all taxes imposed should be with a view to revenue, and so adjusted as to protest the industrial interests of the whole country that the special legislation in the interest of capital against labor should be reprobated that military rule in time of peace and military interference with popular elections are in conflict with the whole spirit and genius of our free institutions that local self-govern-ment should be reasserted with all the majesty of the sovereign people against the encroachments of Federal power, and that the Civil Service Reform is imperatively demanded to protect the freedom of political action from the now common controlling influence of official patronage.
Believing these views are shared by a. large majority of the Republicans of the country, we will cordially unite with all advisory movements within the organization looking to the advancement of the Republican standard to meet the de-. mands of patriotism and peace, and we confidently hope that the whole people, regardless of party affinities, are prepared to join in the Liberal Republican and Reform movement to meet at Cincinnati on the 1st of May.
