WEDMESDAY, JULY 17, 1872.

Ecilv to Mechanic's Second Communication. Owing to the press on our columns for the last few days, we have been unable to find room for "Mechanic's" second communication, which appears this afternoon. We will publish this communication, but in the future would prefer answering such questions as "Mechanic" may at any time deem proper to ask us, and which we may consider worthy a reply, without encumbering our columns with his long communications. There are other papers in the city in which such communications as "Mechanic's" would be gladly received, and would be more appropriate to their columns than those of the GAZETTE. And as this correspondence seems likely to become extended, we would suggest to the writer to use the columns of his party paper, as we cannot further spare space for him.

To-day we reply to the few points we think, worthy of consideration. "Mechanic" misreads ourarticle, if he thinks we denied that the presentAdministration had reduced the National debt. We admitted that fact, but asserted that it had not reduced it one-half as fast as did the administration of Andrew Johnson, during the same length of time. But "Mechanic" admitting this, asserts that the resources of the Government were then immensely greater than now. That may be true, and the expenses of the Government wore immensely greater also. The one, we suppose, was about a fair set off to the other.

But, says "Mechanic," I have showed that Grant has reduced the debt $307,500,000, and on the principle that "A penny saved is two pence earned," has actually reduced it $615,000,000. Well, that is just about as good a financial argument, as the means at the control of "Mechanic" will admit. We suppose the next statement will be, that the Government has paid off all the debt, and lifted the whole burden from the "backs of the people," with moonshine. If any such an Administration ever does do it, it will be done in some such way.

The next pointr made by "Mechanic" is, that by increasing the value of the Government bonds a great many hundred millions of dollars—and doing it too in palpable violation of the law and the condition of the bond itself—we thus improved the credit of the country. Well, what of that? We are not borrowers, nor is there any probability this Government will be in the money markets asking for a loan. Why then pay millions upon millions of the people's money into the pockets of the bondholders, to build up a national credit, when we had all the credit we will want in the next half century and, at the same time, trample the laiv underfoot to doit. "But," says "Mechanic," "this enhanced value of government securities is the foundation of the funding bill, under which some $200,000,000 of the six per cent, bonds have been taken up," etc., and which will enable us to take them all up.

How do you know that ?_ The Government has now been nearly two years iu endeavoring to fund her public debt to a lower rate of interest. She has measurably forced her national banks to surrender sonic $200,000,000 of their bonds, and take the new issues. But has anyone else surrendered a six percent, bond, and taken one drawing a less rate? Have our European bondholders done any such thing If so, we hope "Mechanic" will inform us of it. The truth

ls»

this whole funding scheme is an expensive fiuancial failure. Mechanic" misreads ourarticle when he says we favored paying off the bonds at a discount. We are in favor of doing no such thing, but are in favor of paying them off with the money of the country, just as we agreed to when we put the bonds on the market and sold them, if the money of the country is not worth as much as gold, no one is to blame, and no part of the contract violated, for it is the same kind of money the bonds were purchased with, and worth much more noto than then. "Mechanic" excuses the Administration for the increased expenses of the government during the few years of

stantly and that the increase is only in proportion." We had labored under the impression that, as we recieded from the times of the war, and all the departments of the Government were placed upon a peace footing, our expenses would decrease also. During the administration of General Grant's predecessor this was th*e case. Expensive departments, which were organized during the war. were from time to timejwound up and abolished. Thousands and tens of thousands of men em ployed by the Government, during and after the war, were from time to time being dismissed, and their pay stopped. This it was thought would greatly de crease our expenses, and it did during the administration of Mr. Johnson. But, suddenly, as the administration of Grant and his rings and his combination of speculators got warmed in their seats, up went the expenses of all the departments of the Government many millions, and the pockets of these corrupt fellows became likewise full.

How the Bads Carry Elections. It is wonderful how stupid some opponents of the Grant dynasty are in times like these. We have here in Vigo county, a few men who sit down to calculate chances, and clamor about "consistency." while the very foundations of the Republic are being mined under their feet. Grant's Administration is in the field, with the money to secure its own continuance in power—and the money of the people, too. Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, a member of the present Congress, has been to Washington, and from certain information communicated to him, was quite sure that North Carolina was the theater in which the Radical politicians would make their first appearance. His suspicions were more than realized, as appears by the following statement in the New York Sun, dated July 8, 1872

Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, having heard that the Department of Justice was exhibiting unusual activity in sending down such spies and informers as Whitely to North Carolina, in order to cause a reign of terror, and thus carry the State election on the 1st of August next, went to-day to the Department of Justice and examined the books to ascertain this increased expenditure for merely partisan purposes. He found that instead of the old sum of $5,000 formerly appropriated to the uses ot the U. S. Marshal, they had this year given Lieutenant Carrol $223,000, of which $65,000 has been advanced in the last sixty days, and $40,000 in the last ten days, as the prospect of the Administration carrying North Carolina became more doubtful. It is obvious from these data that all this is done to carry the State in August.

That the Administration will make a desperate effort to carry North Carolina all believe. It is the first State to vote, and the effect upon other States could not fail to be seriously felt. Hence the public money will be thrown out with a lavish hand, in the hope of corrupting the people of that ancient Commonwealth. In the meantime, the Democrats and the Greeley men are not idle, but they have no public money to "throw around loose." Senator Stockton, Carl Schurz, James R. Doolittle, and other "Liberals" and Democrats, are now delivering speeches in North Carolina, and hope to carry the State.

How any thoughtful Democrat can refuse assistance to the suffering people of the South, and permit the Administration to keep its iron heel upon their necks for four more years, passes our comprehension.

THE

the administration of General Grant, by I tion of an honest and competent Presieayiag, "that th§ country is growing con- dent, viz Horace Greeley,

Administration newspapers having very generally expressed a desire that the Baltimore Convention would nominate Horace Greeley, it being the surest way to kill off the Liberal opposition, we have naturally anticipated some evidence of hilarity,"or at least seemly rejoicing, since the reception of the glad, tidings. In this we regret to have been disappointed. They appear rather to have been put in a rage because the thing they hoped would be done, has been done.—Oin.Commercial.

Ah, these funny fellows have forgotten all their jokes. There is not one good laugh in a whole regiment of Grant's supporters in this neighborhood. Soon after the Cincinnati Convention, the Express teemed with the choicest gems of wit, pleasantry, and humor, and the editor's face fairly beamed with joy. The comic almanac, and the laughing philosopher on the title page, looked serious ia comparison to Capt, Allen's jolly face. But all is now changed. The South has been heard from, New York has spoken, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and the great West, have opened their Greeley batteries in full chorus for National regeneration. The joke played out, and now comes the longface the pallid countenance, the twitchings which fear and dread for the future pro duces. Joe Miller's look is laid aside forever.

THE New York Tribune says that Harper's WeeMy has resorted to forgery to injure Mr. Greeley. The following, purporting to be an extract from the Tribune, November 26, 1860, is given "When the rebellious traitors are overwhelmed in the field, and scattered like leaves before an angry wind, it must not be to return to peacelul and contented homes. They must find poverty at their firesides, and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers and the rags of children

The Tribune says: We deem it only necessary to say that not a word of the pretended extract is lound in the Tribune of that date, and no such words were ever written by Mr. Greeley. We leave the public to jud the moral quality of the act committed by the Messrs. Harper.

Congressional Convention.

To-morrow the Congressional Convention meets at Spencer, Owen county. It is generally understood that the leaders in the Greeley movement are clamorous for and will demand the nomination of Hon. D. W. Voorhees to make the race against Gen. Hunter, the Radical nominee. It is also believed that Mr. Voorhees has consented to make the race, provided he is not compelled to swallow Greeley.—Terre Haute Journal.

Mr. Voorhees can neither get the nomination to-morrow, nor can he be elected in this Congressional District, unless he does openly, boldly, unequivocally and without prevarication, support Mr. Greeley.

THE means employed by President Grant and his henchmen to carry the election in North Carolina, on the 9th of August, surpass, in some phases of their indecency and corruption, any that have ever been used by Tweed and Sweeny to deprive New York of its Electoral vote.

AND still they come. This time it is the Staats-Zeitung, printed at Dubuque Iowa. It thinks that the German population should so vote as to secure the elec-

Choose Te Between Them.

The Cincinnati Commercial puts Greeley and Grant before the country in the following striking paragraphs. Volumes written could not more faithfully present the personal character of these two candidates for popular favor. What thinking and fair-minded man can long debate which to choose

In looking over a "Campaign Life" of Grant and a "Campaign Life" of Greelev, one cannot help being struck with the different moral impressions which they must produce on those who read them. We see Greeley beginning his career as a hardworking lad, laboring industriously at his trade till he was well into manhood, and struggling steadily, by day and night, to obtain education and acquire knowledge. We see him starting a newspaper, through which he might labor, with all his energies, for the benefit of his fellow-man. We see hiin using it as the means of advocating universal, liberty, elevating the working classes, assailing slavery, purifying politics, and upholding right* and justice. We see him always industrious, virtuous and benevolent, living an honest life, and faithful to his ideas. His career is a lesson to young men, and the history of it may almost be said to furnish a model by which the lives of others should be formed.

Grant's career furnishes no such example to others. When a young man he was sent to West Point, from which he graduated with no particular credit as a military student. His subsequent adventures, and his various ways of trying to get a living in San Francisco, St. Louis and Galena, till the breaking out of the war, were not of a nature to call forth any particular admiration, or to admit of any high-strung eulogy. The only praise that his biographer can give him is for his career in war as a military commander. For his strategy and his war-like success, he deserves praise but when this has been said all has been said. It is impossible to speak of his ardent pursuit of knowledge, his ceaseless and successful industry, his devotion to high principles, noble ideas, the elevation of man, the rights of the oppressed, or the morJll and intellectual progress of the people. It is impossible to hold up his whole career as an example to young men. Such are the impressions made by looking over the campaign lives of Grant and Greeley.

Have it Always qt Hand.—Accidents will happeu in the best regulated families, and for this reason apaong many others, the MUSTANG LINIMENT should find a place in the cupboard of every household. In all the world there is nothing comparable to it as an applicaion for cuts, contusions, burns, spasms, and scalds, and when every other preparation that medical ingenuity can suggest, has failed to afford relief in rheumar tism, neuralgia, sore throat, glandular swelling, muscular contractions, cramps, toothache, etc., this powerful anti-in-flammatory and pain-destroying agent immediately assuages the sufferer's agony and eventually accomplishes a radical cure. Probably there is not a connoiseur in horse flesh or an amateur horseman in the land who does notkuow, either from personal observation or reports that the MUSTANG LINIMENT is the supreme remedy for all external diseases and injuries of the horse.

CARPETS.

TICTORIOJJS!

Our recent onslaught upon the Carpet trade caused a decided sensation. We have never seen a more complete success. Within 24 hours after we had announced our prices to the public, our Carpet room was crowded with customers, and each week our sales of these goods have continued to increase.

It is the Hit Bird that Flutters!

This accounts for the fluttering among our competitors. They got their backs up at once and rushed into print to tell the people that they had^ reduced their Carpets to the price of ours. The people answered, "We don't believe you, and even if you have, Foster Brothers compelled you to lower your prices, or you would never have done it. We propose to give our patronage to the merchants whose prices are so low that they have never had. to reduee them to meet the prices of other stores."

THE"AMBIJ1ACE RIDER" BACKED DOWN!

AN

OGLORIOIJS FIZZLE!

His "Hand Loom" and "Family" Carpets Prove to be a Humbug!

Knowing, as ifte did, that his "Hand Loom" Carpets, for which he was charging $1.40 and $1.50, were exactly the goods that were selling at $1.20 and $1.25, and that his so-called "Family" Carpets at $1.00 were the same as our 85c goods, we submitted to him four distinct challenges on the subject, which he has not dared to accept.

The brief campaign of the past few weeks has placed us

AT THE HEAD OF THE CARPET TRADE!

WE PROPOSE TO KEEP THE LEAD!

We shall do it by offering to the public only well known brauds of Carpets, and by always representing our goods to be just what they are.
