A NOVEL, but ingenious, practical, economical and feasible method of rendering the streets of cities lighter of dark nights is suggested by an English paper. The plan is simply to have the store doors nnd shutters, now uniformily of a dark color, painted a light buff or white. Dark paints absorb the gas lights—light shades reflcct them. Therefore by changing the color of doors and shutters from dark to light, the power of the lamps would be at least doubled, and the safety of the principal business thoroughfares proportionately increased.

POMEROY'S Democrat pitches into August BEVMONT, Chairman of the National Democratic Central Committee, in a manner at once lively and entertaining. It states that, in a file of one hundred and forty thousand letters from Democrats in all the States, every one of them is against Belmont, and has not a particle of faith in his Democracy. All predict a party collapse from his leadership and the only problem is how to get rid of him. The agent of ROTHSCHILD and of the bondholders of Europe and America makes a strange appearance as figure* head of the Democratic party.

THE most valuable campaign document that could be presented is the history of the origin, progress aad payment of the State debt, by J. C. BUBNETT, Deputy Auditor of State, which we print this morning. It is a calm, clear, concise statement of facts, showing how Democratic mismanagement and dishonesty plunged the State, year after year, farther and farther into debt and disgrace and how Republican economy and honesty have, by steady perseverance, removed her enormous burden, re-established her credit, retrieved her honor, and placed her name in the very foremost rank of rising, prosperous States.

It is true that party prejudice will do much to influence the conduct of most men, nnd there are not wanting those who "will, at all times, go with their party, whether right or wrong. But, with all reasonable charity, we cannot see how any honest, intelligertt man, who desires to promote the best interests of his neighbor* and himself, can read this history of our State finances without confessing that the Democratic party stands condemned as extravagant, corrupt and dishonest, so far as a party may be held responsible for

For the prosecution of these works an appropriation of ten millions of dollars was made, the money to be obtained by the gale of bonds of the State, bearing five per cent, interest, and falling due in twenty-five years.

After great expense and much financial tribulation, the bonds were disposed of a State Board of Internal Improvements was appointed engineers were employed the great work was pushed vigorously, and the millions of dollars promptly ex-

Out of this act, and others relating to the Wabam and Erie Canal, and the State Bank, and the peculiar deviations and irregularities of Democratic officials, grew the State debt of Indiana.

For Uie benefit of the holders of the bonds of the State, the interest coupons on some were made payable in London, England, and on others in Jersey City and New York and there is evidence that the interest was paid each half year until January, 1841, when, as one of the results of the great financial disaster of 1837, the credit of the State was prostrated,

and

the interest falling due at that

and subsequent dates remained unpaid. In 1846 the importunities of bondholders, and the efforts of prominent citizens, in official and private life, directed serious attention to the fact that the State was in debt over twelve millions of dollars that unpaid interest was accumulating at a fearful rate that the prosperity of the State was checked by the burden of a great debt thiit immigration, and the assistance of men of capital, had almost ceased and that citizens were outspoken in their determination to ahandon their property and seek homes in other States.

At thesession of the Legislature, begun in the winter of 1846, an act entitled "An act to provide for the Funded Debt of the State of Indiana," Ac., well known as the "Butler Bill"—having been drawn up or dictated by Charles Butler, the agent and representative of the holders of the Internal Improvement Bonds—was placed upon the statute-book, and in 1847 amended and completed by a supplemental act.

By virtue of the provisions of these acts, the State agreed to issue certificates of stock, principal and interest payable by taxation, for one-half of the principal and one-half of the unpaid interest of the Internal Improvement Bonds, and to surrender the canal, and large donations of land from the General Government to aid in its construction, for the other half of principal and interest.

To accomplish this, certificates of stock were issued as follows: Five per cent, certificates of State stock for one-half of the principal of the bonds surrendered, and two and one-half per cent, certificates of State stock for one-half

Not long since we gave the facts to show that copper had fallen below the cost of production, and yet it was one of "those "odious protected interests." Now wool has fallen lower in price than dur ing the past fifteen years, knd si ill it enjoys a full measure of protection. With cheap wool, the woven tabrics are foiling, and yet they are protected. Prices continue to fall on every article enumerated in the tariff, in spite of the allegation that the tariff doubles them. How very remarkable that a "monopoly" should give the consumer cheap goods, daily growing cheaper! What a ruinous system it is that accomplishes such results!

In October, 1860, after seventeen years of almost uninterrupted Democratic government, during which time the population and wealth of the State bad increased very rapidly, and all the facilities for the successful management of financial affairs were at the command of ihe dominant party, the debt of the State had not been increased. On the contrary, it had grown, as shown by the report of John W. Dodd, Auditor of State, [Auditor's Report, I860,

T0tal $10,179,267 09 This will appear all the more painful when it is remembered that in 1849, and continuously forward, a tax was levied and collected for the special purpose of extinguishing the funded debt, and that if the tax thus provided had been faithfully applied, and reasonable economy observed in State expenditures, the entire debt might have been paid in 1860! In the brief schedule of duties imposed upon Democratic officials, however, the word ecrmmny did not appear and retrenchment was a term of classic derivation to which they did not deem it necessary to give attention. When they wanted money to pav the interest on the State debt, they "went through" the Sinking Fund and by assiduous attention to all important matters excepting official duty and the welfare of the people, they managed to get the General Fund of the Treasury indebted to Funds set apart for specific purposes, to the extent of $989,188.95.

In October, 1860, the Republican partr was successful, and in Jannary, 1861, a Republican General assembly convened at Indianapolis, and Republican officials took possession of their respective offices.

Soon after, at the breaking out of the war, Governor Morton called a special session of the Legislature, and that body found it necessary, in the exigencies of the situation, to authorize the issue of War Bonds te the amount of two millions of dollars, thus necessarily adding a large amount to the great debt, and increasing the responsibilities and perplexing duties of the new party in power.

A* a means of paying the War Bonds at the earliest practicable moment, the act authorizing the bonds provided a specific tax, and, also, that payments made by the General Government for money expended by the State authorities in equipping troops and providing materials of war, should be applied to the immediate redemption of tne bonds. The matter and tables following will show that these requirements were strictly complied with'.

During the years 1863,1864, the Democratic party was again in power. They made their brief return famous by refusing to pay the interest on the State debt when there Was a million of dollars in the Treasui'y, thereby embarassing the State at a critical period, and by their course generally, giving aid and comfort to the rebels in arms.

In the election of 1864 the Democracy were permitted to retire—-were peremptorily dismissed by a majority of 20,000 and in January, 1865, the Republican party resumed its labors.

In December, 1865, the Legislature, in special session, passed the 'State Debt Bill," providing a tax for the specific purpose of paying the State debt, and describing the manner in'which redemption should be made. In June, 1866, before the tax authorized cojild be levied and collected, with the funds tbey had at their dispolas, tho

In the meantime the War Bonds were taken up and redeemed as fast as they could be obtained from the holders. From the date of issue to October 31, 1866, there had been redeemed the sum of $1,691,000 00 leaving outstanding $309,000 00.

In March, 1867, the Legislature passed an act entitled an "act to consolidate certain bonds, stocks, and accounts of the School Fund into one non-negotiable bond," &c., in pursuance of which act the five per cent, certificates and two and one-half per cent, certificates of State stocks purchased by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund were surrendered by the Auditor of State, and the nonnegotiable bond given. The whole amount of State stocks redeemed through the School Fund, as provided by the above named and other acts, is as follows Five per cent, certificates of

See 1st G. & H. p. 582, and the report of Mr. Dodd, referred to before.

In June, 1867, the Board of State Debt Sinking Fund Commissioners gave notice that all the two and one-half per cent, certificates of State stock would be redeemed at par and of the $1,183,187 55 outstanding, all but a few thousand dollars were presented for payment and redeemed. |The foreign debt October 31, 1867, was as follows: Five per cent, certificates el

In the latter part of June, Governor Balrer received from the General Government, in payment of War Claims of the State, the sum of $464,925.23, which he immediately forwarded to the Agent of State in New York, advising the Agent by telegraph, and sending instructions by letter, that the money be applied to the immediate redemption of State stocks.

On the first day of July, the Board of State Debt Sinking Fund Commissioners, with means sufficient to pay off the entire indebtedness, mel at the office of the Agent of State, to take such action in paying the debt and closing the long-existing agency as should be deemed necessary. Holders of the stock,however, did not manifest a desire to give up their certificates for payment, ana the Board at once gave notice that interest would cease on the first day of September, and that the stock should be presented for payment on or before that date.

Thus, a few years of judicious management of financial affairs has placed the good name and credit of the State in the front rank, so that her obligations are regarded as the best security, and holders of stocks are compelled, by the notice that interest will be stopped, to surrender their claims for payment.

In addition to the millions of dollars of the State debt that have been paid by Republican administrations, fifty thousand dollars have been paid each year, since 1S61, for apportionment by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to cancel a claim of the School Fund against the General Fund of the Treasury: the direct tax levied by the General Government upon the State during the war, amounting to $904,875 33, was paid without recourse to additional taxation ihe indebtedness of the Northern Prison has been paid, and the Prison completed the Soldiers' Home, at Knightstown, the Normal School buildinc, at Terre Haut& the building for the Supreme Court and State" Offices, and Female Reformatory, at Indianapolis, the House of Befuge, at Plain

Thus it will be seen, seventeen years of Democratic management left the State witli a debt exceeding t^n millions, which waa soon aftec increased, by the necessities of the country in time of war, to more than thirteen millions!

t.

Republican administrations since Januarv, 1861, with the years 1863 and 1864 more than lost by the incumbency of Democratic State officers, have wiped out th" debt and placed Indiana, in all that constitutes political, and financial greatness, foremost among the States o£ the Union.

TROUBLE AT GRAND JUNCTION. The Avalanche's Grand Junction special says the trouble there yesterday was caused" by a murder committed near there Saturday night. One Jordan White and Lewis Miller, colored, had a difficnlty, during which Miller was shot in the arm. Miller sued out a trrit a gainst*Jordan, but owing to the absence of the magistrate the trial did not come off. Saturday night five men went to Miller's house, and after tying him carried him about a mile and whipped him to death. An inquest was held nexfr morning. The evidence implicated W. P. Jordan Allen, his son-in-law, and John Bowden, who were immediately arrested and taken to Grand Junction. Negroes were greatly enraged, and flockefl to town, armed, as they said, to protect the officers in enforcing th^plaws. A guard was summoned and placed over the prisoners, who, alter examination, were committed to jail.

PARIS, Aug. 2—Eveninp.—An official dispatch from Metz announces that to-day at eleven o'clock A. M. the French had a serious engagement with the Prussians. Our artny took the offensive, crossed the frontier .and invaded the territory of Prussia in spite of the number and posi tion of the enemy.

SYRACUSE, N. X- August 2.—Fire this morning in the business center Of the citv. The stores of Townsend, Grant & Co", Rober H. Davis, Michael Tobin, Moore,. & Jolmr-on, and several others, were considerably damaged. Loss $19,000 fully insured.

^ASHISGTO^.

The Times this morning has a long editorial on the prospects. The writer thinks the delay in military movements on bpth sides is to be ascribed ^demoralization of troops from having been moved by rail. The French were also delayed on "account of the hesitation of the South German States, and are now necessarily confined to, the. narrow ground of Saar Valley. In fact, the entire preconceived plan of the Emperor has been altered by tinforseen circumstances of this sort, and he has yet probably to form a new one. ..

FIREARMS.

The Times argues that the French Chassepot, on account of likelihood of its fouling speedily, will be found to be infinitely less effective than the needle gun, and the difference in this respect will possibly be sufficient to govern the result of the war. rs» I ..-•

TOPULAR FEELING IN ENGLAND.'» NEW YORK, August i.—A London special says D'Israeli's declaration for armed neutrality was not less applauded on the Conservative side, ana though Liberals wanted to hear an authentic statement from Gladstpne. many showed marks of unmistakable sympathy with D'Israeli's more resolute attitude. It is more clear than ever that popular feeling goes beyond the Government. There are not wanting members of Parliament and journals who would prohibit France from buying arms or doals. Gladsfone's strong point was in providing that English military forces, so far irom being diminished, are augmented.

The Daily News says on the whole we have every reason to be contented with the condition of our National defence', with augmentations alreadyjrop®sed,will be quite adequate to support the best secured neutrality, and might, if calamity should fall on us, qucikly expand into a force.quite adequate to sustain us in the struggle. Our appeal to arbitrament of arms is the very last to which we should willingly resort, but we may rest asssured that it is neither so distant from the thoughts of ministers as to be deemed impassible, nor so alien from their counsels as to find them upr'epared:

A SEASON- OF CRIME.

The morning papers give a fearful record of murders, homicide and "deadly assaults with the bullet, knife, bayonet and axe. While the police are searching for Nathans' murderer, many other murders nearly as revolting have been committed.

It is stated the Dauntless will not enter tho race for the Queen's cup.

THE TFATLTANG "MURDER.

Notwithstanding the indignation expressed by papers and Je\vs at a Sunday paper for charging Washington Nathan with murdering his father, the Herald this uiornifig publishes nearly two ..columns strongly hinting some facts, and says every detective believes that a member or employe of the family committed the murder. Tliey ground suspicions on facts first, that he was the last person to see Mr. Nathan alive, the first to discover the murder. Second, that he had blood on his clothing, and that there is no evidence about the premises that the murderer, whose feet must have been dyed in blood, left the house. Third,- that with the aid of Nathan's memorandum of combination the son was able to open the safe on Broad street and secure the will of his father. A workman at the house says he has seen the iron dog in Nathan's stable for the last IS months.

A Young lii.l Found After Having Been Mourned as Dead for Fifteen Years. From tho Kansas City Times.] ''. "•'s

Nearly fifteen years ago there lived on the banks of the Ohio, but a few miles from the city of Louisville, a man by the name of Henry C. Danforth, the lamily consisting of himself, wife and one child, a daughter only a little over two years of age. One day the child escaped the vig: ilant eye of the mother, and wandeied from the house. Search was made, but no trace could be found of their darling, until reaching the banks of the river her little bonnet was seen near the margin of the water. Then indeed the little one was mourned as dead, and only a mother's heart can fathom the agony of the bereaved parent. Time passed on. Other children came to take the place of the lost one at the fireside, and the first storm of grief at the terrible affliction had given way to quiet submission. Still the blue, dancing waters of the Ohio alwajrs caused inexpressible sadness to their bereaved hearts. Five years ago the family removed lo St. Louis, where they have resided ever since. Last Saturday Mr. Danforth received an anonymous letter from this city, urging him to come up immediately if he wished to find his daughter, whom he supposed was^drowned thirteen years before. He arrived in the city Monday last, and proceeding to the place designated in the letter, found a woman whom he had known in other days rapidly nearing the grave, and a young cirl in attendance upon her. She j»ointed to the child immediately upon his entrance, saying, "This is your drowned child," and entered upon an explanation which convinced him of the truth of her words. It seems that he himself was the innocent cause of the affair. The woman had loved him previous to his marriage, and when the words were spoken, binding him to another all the wort passions of her nature were aroused and she determined upon some revenge, and how faithfully she executed her intention the above facts will testify. She had kept herself informed of his whereabouts, and when she knew that shortly death would claim her as his victim she determined to make r, the reparation in her power. Who can ppint the joy of the father on finding the dead alive? The woman it seems had only_ been in our city some six months, coming from Cincinnati, to which place she had first fled with the child. She said she had always treated her as she would her own daughter, to which the child testified, and begged that the woman might be taken with them. The result was that yesterday evening the three took the ttiin'on the North Missouri Railroad for -A. Louis, and ere this the waiting moi.ver has received the embraces of her longlost daughter.

THE county canvass will be commenced immediately and be prosecuted vigorcusly.

The Silver Spray Destroyed!!

LIVES REPORTED LOST!

MANT PEBSONS WOUNDED!

MEMPHIS, August 1.—Another terrible steamboat disaster has occurred. At Pacific Place, thirty miles above here, at twelve o'clock last night the stern wheeler Silver Spray from New Orleans to Cincinnati with a barge in tow,exploded he boilers, killhig and wounding a number of the crew and passengers, and then took fire. Mr. Singleton, 2d Clerk, states that just as watch was called the explosion took place. In a moment the boat was wrapped in flames, and nothing^ was left for tne survivors but to plunge into the river and swim some three hundred yards to the nearest shore. Owing to the darkness of the night it was impossible to render assistance to the wounded. As the books and principal officers were lost it is impossible to obtain a full list of the lost. Tne following however, are known to be lost: Capt. A. N. Jordon, Cincinnati: Thaddeus Wirthling, 1st Clerk, Newport, Ky. Ash Taylor, second male. Long Reach Wm. Baele, 2d Steward. Cincinqatti Boyd Smith, colored bootmaker, rfew Richmond, O AlfCorness. second cook, Pittsburg,and colored^ chambermaid, name unknown. Charlie Jordan, steersman, a son of the Captain,died soon after being res coed.

Fatally injured—Ed. Long, barkeeper, Cincinnati Dick Cage, colored cook, New Richmond colored porter, name unknown George Williams, colored deckband, St. Louis.

Severely wounded—A. R. Ssngleton, second clerk, Newport, Ky., scalded body and limbs James Corcoran, mate, Richard Nichols, Eph. Marshall, colored deck hands, Cincinnati, slightly scalded N. S. Havnes, T. W. Gill, deck hands, Louisville Ed. Patterson, Pilot, Newport, Kentucky.

Sonfe two hours after the explosion, the steamer City of Cairo hove in sight, and went to the relief of the sufferers. All who were recovered were taken on board and brought here. As soon as the news of the disaster w.is received, citizens hurried to .the whr rf, and everything possible was done for the wounded, who by order of Mayor Johnson were taken in ambulances to the City Hospital, where every attention is being shown them. They and the saved lost all their clothing and baggage, but were partially supplied by the officers, crew and passengers of the City of Cairo, of whose conduct they speak in the warmest terms. The Cairo was bound for St. Louis, but turned back, after using every effort to recover the bodies of the lost. The Spray floated down about two miles and lodged on a bar, where she and the barge burned to the water's edge. She was seven years old, and belonged to Capt. N. S. Patterson, of Newport, who had stopped off for the trip, leaving Capt. Jordan in charge. The boat had near three hundred crates of Queerisware, three and a half cabin and seven deck passengers, nineteen deck hands atid roustabouts-. It is believed by'.Mr. Singleton that twentysix lives were lost.

•Wendell Phillips on Chinese Importation. Mr. Wendell Phillips publishes aii article in the National Standard, of this week, upon "The Chinese." After saying that we should and do welcome men of all races and nations to our soil, he adds: "But

such

immigration, to be

safe and helpful, must be spontaneous. It must be the result of individual will obeying the laws of industry and the tendency of the age. Immigration of labor is an unmixed good, importation of human freight is an unmixed evil. The Chinese, he thinks, will be valuable additions to the mosaic of our nationality, but they must come spontaneously, as the Irish and Germans have done. If the capital of the country sets to work, by system and wide co-operation, to import them in masses, to disgorge them upon us with an unnatural rapidity, then their coming will be a peril to our political system and a disastrous check to our social progress." The writer then speaks of naturalization and citizenship as follows: "The right to be naturalized must not be limited by race, creed or birthplace. Secondly, every adult must vote. With only a" natural amount of immigration, we can trust the education an.! numbers* of our native voters to safely absorb and make over the foreign element. But it is easily possible for associated capital to hurry the coining of the Chinese in such masses as will enable these money lords to control the ballot-box by their bond servants. We hold it to be clearly within the province and as clearly the duty_ of legislation to avert this danger. Capital is too strong now. Universal suffrage is admissible only on condition, of an educated people. We cannot undertake to educate the whole world at oncc. In detachments, million by million, we can digest the whole human race.''

As to the influence of Chin men on the workingman he thinks if they conic naturally they will produce no evil result, but if capital imports them in masses thev will crush American labor to pauperism. "That dollar now left," he says, after all the bills are paid on Saturday night, 'means education, independence, self-re-spect, manhood. The importation of Chinese labor s«tk.s to take that dollar from our workingraen. The true statesman must regard such a policy as madness. The philanthropist must consider it cruel and njad too.

Every one cries out for cheap

labor to develop the country. This random and thoughtless cry for chcap labor is one of tKfe greai mistakes of heartless and superficial economists. W_c assert unhesitatingly that cheap laber is an unmitigated evil. To insure progress, the cost of everything but, human muse'e and

brains

must fall. In view of such a

rule, t. claim therisrht ofGove -nment to check any fo.ced and unnatural importation of labor. Against such a claim the advocate of a protcoive tariff can not consistent open his mouth. If the Free Trader assails us with his objec.ion, 'Has not the laborer alight lo -J.iy his coat or flour in the cheapest ma, ket? Has not the capitalist the same right to get his stock or his labor in the cheapest market?' We answer, 'Yes, provided there is no artificial combination, no plot of powerful men or classes to flood the ma. ket of one land w:tli the surplr of another.' This restriction is to be stringently enforced in the purchase of labor.

The rate of wages is said to depend on supply and demand. The rules "is sound but so equivocal that it is worth little. Rates of wages really depeud on what the workman Ihinlc* will buy him the necessities of life. His idea of necessarict does much to fix the rate of wages. 'Supply and demand,' therefore, arc to be understood with a qualification. The Chinaman works cheap because he is a barbarian, and seeks gratification of only the lowest, the most inevitaBle wants. The American demands more because the

ages—because

Homer

and Plato, Egypt and Rome, Luther and Shakespeare,-Cromwell and Washington, the printing press and the telegraph, the ballot-box and the Bible have made him ten times as much a man."

In conclusion, Mr. Phillips advises workmen to take advantage of their numbejs at the ballot-boxes, and to use their power "remorselessl v."

A CERTAIN town near providence has an exceed 'ngly considerate ,man. The other morning he awoke to find his house on fiie. Partially dressing himself he :-aa ac-oss the street timidly rung his neighbor's door-bell, and patiently waited for some one to answer the summons. After a little "the man of the house" appeared, and the timid man said,"l do not wish to create an unnecessary alarm, but my hoase is on fier."
