Liberal Republican Club. In accordance with the eall published elsewhere, there will be a meeting at Mr. Hirsch's office, immediately over P. M. Donnelly's Drug Store, on Saturday evening, at 7i o'clock, of the friends of Greely and Brown and the Great Liberal and Reform movement, to organize a Greeley Club. All the friends of the movement, of whatever former party predelictions, are invited to be present. Officers will be selected, and such other business attended to as may be deemed proper.

TIIE editor of the Journal says that "Scraps," the Terre Haute correspondent of the Courier-Journal^ has neither brains nor industry. And yet we understand that Jim Edmunds is always willing to pass oft* as his own the coinage of "Scrap's" brains in the columns of his paper. How is this.

EDMUNDS characterizes "Scrap's" letter, copied by him from the CourierJournal as "balderdash." We understand that such balderdash from "Scraps" has always been admitted free of charge •to a prominent place in the editorial columns of the Journal.

THE Express thinks that the carrying of North Carolina by the Grantites, was not a matter of much importance anyhow. "Boo."

Tlic Financial Policy of Grant's Administration. .Editor of the Terre Haute Gazette:

Whilst the record of the old Republican party during the war, will in the main, ever be satisfactory to those Union men who acted with it, to put down the rdbelliou, it is to be regretted that wiser councils have not prevailed since the close of the war, in the management of the civil affairs of the country. The misfortune seems to have been that our President and his Cabinet officers have iken their councils from the mouied interest of the country, in disregard of that of the masses of the people. They have spent their leisure hours in the great cities of the East, and watering places on the sea shore, bringing themselves in contact only with the wealthy and auristocratic classes. Nothing could be more natural tban that their principles and policy should be shaded by the company they have kept. If our President had taken the advice of General Sherman, and spent most of his time in the West, the result might have been quite different.

At the close of the war, we owed an enormous debt, and the great question was, how it could best be paid, as no honest man could entertain for a moment the idea of repudiation. Whilst equal and exact justice should have been done to all our creditors, the payment should have been put in a form the easiest possible for the people, oppressed as they were, by its appalling magnitude. But this was not done, hut precisely the contrary. We had paid the expenses of the war in a depreciated paper, receiviny therefor not over fifty cents in the dollar, and we made ha#te to convert this whole debt into obligations to pay, both principal and interest, in gold, thus doubling our indebtedness without any consideration whatever. This is the splendid management of our finances which we hear extolled from one end of the country to the other, by Senators and Cabinet officers. in the interest of the administra

tion'. The. people are expected to sing praises over the enormous collection of taxes and the large reduction of the public. debt, but I am sorry to have to say, tuis will not bear investigation.

On the 81st day of October, 1S65, the pu'uiic debt amounted, in round numbers, to two billions eight hundred millions of dollars. Of this sum, one billion one hundred millions consisted of bouds bearinjr from five to six per cent, inter

est,

falling due from 1S71 to 1895. The remainder,one billion seven hundred millions of dollars, consisted of bouds bearing from six tqseven percent, interest, due from 1S65 to 1868, together with United States notes and fractional currency. The bonds were convertable at 1 he pleasure of the Government alter maturiiy into United States notes. Now, I have always contended that ihis part of our debt should have beeu converted into enrrenev and absorbed by taxes, and thus disposed of entirely. People cheerfully pay taxes when it can be done in a depreciated paper and by this mode of.disposjing of this part of our debt, entire justice would have been done to both debtor and creditor.

During the contraction of this portion of our debt, gold ranged from fifty to one hundred, and eighty per cent, above par, and the prices paid for everything during that period corresponded approximately to the pretpium on gold. If we take a low average, it will be seen that we realized, at gold value, but little if any more than fifty per cent, of the face of the paper issued. As shown by the Secretary-8 report, December. 1886, the public debt had been reduced over two hundred millions of dollars the preceding year, notwithstanding the' extraordinary and necessary expenses of the civil service of the Government. If this system had been continued for sight or ten years, the ichole amount of this floating *ctebt would ftave been token up and

cancelled, our credit established upon the firmest basis, and ojir entire indebtedness soon reduced to on*- instead of two billions of dollars. If there is auy particular merit in so managing our finances that, notwithstanding the enormous collection of taxes, and heavy payments made, we come out at the end of ten years in debt two billions instead of one, I do not think the people generally will comprehend it. It is a scientific way of getting out of debt that they do not understand.

But the taxes, it is said, have been greatly reduced and it is true changes in the mode of taxing and the ratio have been made but the fact still remains, that the people actually pay as much now as they ever did. Nor do think some of the more important changes in the mode of taxation will meet with general approval. The tax on incomes has been abolished, and that on whisky increased. There never was a greater tax than that on wines, nor one that ought to be more cheerfully paid. The man who grudgingly pays a tax on his income to the government that gives value to all he has on earth, should be banished to heathen lands, and enjoy freedom from all civil burdens. But a tax upon whisky, means a tax upon corn. The distiller pays the tax to the Government it is true, but he could afford to pay more for corn if he had not to pay such an enormous tax for the privilege of making whisky. If there is any great merit in taking burdens off of those who are living on the interest paid by the people, and rolling: in wealth, and putting it on the agricultural classes, I do not think it will be generally appreciated. It is quite above the common apprehension.

GENERAL N. P. BANKS.

-He

A Brave Avowal of Political Faith. Will Stand by Greeley. BOSTON, August 1.—Rumors of the defection of General Banks from the support of Grant and Wilson are confirmed by the following letter:

BOSTON, Auly 31,1872.

MY DEAR SIR I have the honor to acknowledge by this note, iu addition to our conversation to-day, the receipt of your invitation lo address the citizens of Lynn on Thursday evening, in support of the re-election of General Grant and the policy of his administration. No invitation could have greater weight with me from any part of the countrj' nor from auy portion of my fellow citizens, and it gives me great pleasure to assure you that nothing could be added to your suggestions as representative of the citizens of Lynn to accede to the request. Their kindness to me many years since is a continuing life remembrance, and nothing would give me greater satisfactiou than to renew my association with them, but I regret to say that I am not in accord with them iu regard to the Presidential canvass.

Against my wishes and my personal interests, I am compelled to say that the perpetuation of the present policy of the Government is not for the advantage of the country, and that it will not tend to establish its former good and prosperity nor to promote the iuterests of any class of citizens. No personal feeling of any form or character enters into this judg* meut. It is in view of general principles and public interest alone that I am led to this conclusion. The uniting of the masses of people of all parties, sections and races in support of the grand results of the war is indispensable to the permanent establishment and general recognition of those results. It can be secured by no other means, and we shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner or later. This united action upon this basis has been the hope of my life. I frequently desired it during the war and in the reconstruction of States subsequent to the war. I believe it is now tendered in good aith in the nomination of Mr. Greeley, and for one, I can not reject him. It was what I desired, and its consummation, although sudden and startling, does not alarm me. My duty to myself and my country requires me to give him my support, and I cannot advocate before your friends a different cause, which neither my judgment nor my heart approves.

It grieves me most deeply to separate myself in thought or act from any of those with whom I have been so long associated and to whom I am greatly indebted, but I believe that the result will justify my action and give to the country that peace and prosperity which is the object of all our labor and secure to %very citizen the civil and political equality and freedom which was won by the sacrifice of so many valued lives.

Accept the assurances of my lasting friendship and esteem, and believe me, Yours, etc., (Signed) N.P.BANKS. To JAMES S. LEWIS, ESQ.

VOL. TERRE HAUTE, IND.: FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AUGUST 2, 1872.

A Mournful Meeting.

Iu an obscure place in yesterday morning's Daily Almanac, appeared the following

The very latest dispatches from North Carolina will be read at Republican beadquarters, 142 Main street, to-night. Reports will be received until twelve or one o'clock.

The Almanac being the letter-list organ of the Administration, we felt assured that the call was official, hence we sent a lynx-eyed reporter to the "headquarters" alluded to.

At an early hour, a few of the faithful assembled, and united in prayer with the Chaplain, after which the probable result of the North Caroliua election was discussed for a few minutes.

Then all relapsed into a sombre silence until the appearance of the ageut of the Associated Press, who siowly wended his weary way up stairs, haviug lost bis usual elastic step, and read the following dispatch, in tones that betokened deep distress:

WILMINGTON, N. C.. August 1.—Liberty gives a Conservative gain of 36 Rocky Mountain 31 Enfield 33 two precincts in Edgecombl25 Wilson gives a gain, but the amount is not stated. Returns from Columbus indicate considerable Conservative gain. Magnolia'gives 18 Conservative gain Goldsboro gives 125 gain.

Then did a deep melancholly cloud the brows of all present silence reigned supreme over that vast throng of office holders and seekers for some minutes. Finally the spell was broken, and the benediction was pronounced in entirely different language from the opening, and the meeting adjourned.

A SPECIAL telegram to the Chicago Inter- Ocean from Mattoon says: Some of our enterprising citizens are about to engage in anew journalistic venture. A new Republican paper is projected, with Messrs. McDougall and Bostwick publishers, and C. B. Bostwick, editor. The initial number will appear in a short time. It is to be called tbe Mattoon Gazette, and will fly the Grant and Wilson flag from its mast bead.

This looks very much like our estimable cotemnorary, the Journal of that citjj, is not lying fast enough to suit the more enthusiastic of the Grantites. By a pain ful experience, the proprietors of the new publication may learn that the days of a paper, started in the beat of a political contest, are few and full of trouble. But, then, experience is the best school in which to acquire wisdom and learn discretion.

A PROUD but pensive youth, of the sentimental age of sixteen, from our neighboring little city of Paris, calmly looks out upon a cheerless world with one eye shrouded in the sable habiliments of woe unutterable, because he endeavored to unlose the corsets of his girl at Barnum's show day before yesterday. He read of this simple remedy for fainting fits, .in the New York Ledger's answer to correspondents' column, and a fit occasion presenting itself, he sought to try its efficacy. He can't read the Ledger anymore until his optics regain their wonted lustre.

near his house, chopped and mutilated in a manner horrible to behold. No less than twelve or fifteen blows were made on his head and neck, to all appearance made with an axe. The head was nearly severed from the body, and from the neck down to the pit of the stomach the instrument of death had made fearful work. His wife is suspected of the crime, though she says an unknown man did it. Bowler was a drunkard, and slept that night, out of doors, near the house.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer. July IS. A HERO.

aud

He Saves the Lives of Fire Women Loses his Own. A company of colored soldiers from this city visited Spring Mill Heights, near N»rristo\vn, on Thursday, for the purpose of engaging in a target practice, and enjoying the pleasures of a picnic.

Tbe day was spent to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, until half-past six o'clock in the afternoon, when a fearful accident cast a gloom over the affair, and sadly terminated the day's enjoyment.

About that time, Philip Gould, who was not a-member of the company, but bad come from New Jersey to attend the picnic, in company with five ladies, one of whom was the wife of the Lieutenant of the company, was enjoying a row on the Schuylkill.

The party finally disembarked opposite the picnic grounds at the point where the boats are usually moored. They then ascended the bank and commenced walking down the track. It so happened that they chose the down track, which runs along next to the river on an embankment about ten feet high.

They had proceeded a considerable distance below the picnic grounds when one of the ladies heard the whistle of an engine and called the attention of the others to the fact. The party, half turning around, looked across the river and seeing a train on the Norristown side, supposed the whistle to have been that or tbe engine attached to it. Unfortu nately they were mistaken, and, before single warning could be given, the Re ing express, which does not stop betweei Norristown and Philadelphia, came thundering around the curve at the rate of forty miles an hour.

The heavy curve prevented the engi neer from seeing them until almost upon them, and then-it was impossible to do anything to stop the train. Gould was the first to see the danger, and with a presence of mind totality unexampled, and with a heroism which has rarely had a parallel, instantly pushed the whole five of his companions off the track ISO'over the embankment.

Almost in the act the engine caught him, and mangling him terribly, tossed his body over the smoke-stack on to the tender of the engine, from which he rolled off on to the roadside.

The Lieutenant of the company was but a short way over, and, seeing the position of the party when the train came alon#,' supposed, of course, all were killed..

He rushed immediately to the spot, and, looking over the embankment, ESW bis wife and four other ladies among the bushes along the river's edge, where they had fallen entirely uninjured. But Gould had preserved them only at a sacrifice of bis own life, and when picked Up he was entirely dead.

A jury was gotten together and the coroner held an inquest, ^verdict being returned in accordance with the facts in the case.

A SARATOGA letter-writer says: The men dress worse than the women. They enter the parlor arrayed in tweed and light traveling suits. Alpaca coats, the most Comfortable and ugliest garment without style, fit or fashion, a

garment

limp, shabby and forloru a garment to draw tears from the eyes of a fashionable tailor a garment which is an insult to the name of garment—alpaca coats, I say, are in vogue. Half the men at the hotels wear them and, again, the awful thought arises: Are we retrograding from the standard of civilization Are we becoming more devoted to comfort than to style Has American taste culminated and passed into the decline?
