That one who believed the Southern Rebel on just and right, and therefore desired its icceBS, should hate the nation's creditors and ih to see the national debt repudiated, is is natural as life. For that debt represents he defeat and ruin of "The Lost Cause." Honey and men were alike indispensable to its overthrow. Had every able-bodied male in the loyal States shouldered his musket and followed the Union drum, still the Rebellion could not have been put down without money, and a great deal of it. The fleets that block aded the ooast and bombarded the Rebel for tresses were built or bought with money. Thousands of monster cannon were oast, and mounted, supplied with ammunition; mil lions of muskets and hundreds of cartridges were made up all costing money. The naked pay of our armies required hundreds of mil lions. Throughout the war we were ever bor rowing, until, by the time it closed, we had rolM up a debt of twenty-seven hundred an! fifty millions of dollars, whereof we have einoe paid off two hundred millions of prin cipal, leaving twenty-five hundred millions still due. 'ow, those who detested the war for the Union because they wished success to seces sion and slavery, loaned but very little of this money, and hated those who did lend it. They bate them still, and will cheat them out of their dues if they ever have the power. And they have not the wit to conceal their purpose, but are constantly betraying their nefarious intent. They do not always call it repudiation, but they mean just that. Witness the following extract from Vallandigham's late campaign Bpeecu at Middletown, Ohio: "Now, there are other questions questions of to-day, not of yewlerclay, not Inst year, not 'bl, 'G3, or '04, bui quenliouB of IKuT and they haM be hurled Into the ears of men of the i publican party of tills Mtute whether they iUeK or but. We have a question of currency, Wid, growlnK oulot it, a querfUou of taxation. i'ou are paying now oil the puolio debt IJO.OOO.OOO at least of lob-rent annual, y, and )Ring It In coin, upon bonds. What Is a Ji.lled (States bond? Why, so much money 100 or $1000. Many or tnein Indeed, all or jbpia, 1 believe ate payable In aoid; yei a large port ton or them were boug li I. at 40, 50, and GO pen is on the dollar. These bondholders got. for $100, tV00, or $000, h claim ugaliisl the Government fur 11000. The funded debt of Hie United stales is 12.900,000,000, more than $2,000,000,000 of It la bonds. The whole properly of the United States la but $11,000,000,000, and yet more than oue flfih of this entire property Is exempt from taxation. What la the result or that? Why, that the other property la liable lo a heavier amount of taxation. 8uppoHe theie is so fuuob. tux to be levied in a school diatrlci la which ten men live. One man owns $100,000, and nine men own their proporiion or $200,000. It etnnds to reason that If the niau owning $100,000 Is exempt from taxation, the others must pay hie share. Tell me, you Republic-tins wbo prate continually about equality. Is that right? is that equal? Can you look me in the face, and say it Is right? Then look at this question of eurreucy. "W herein does a bond d I tier from a greenback ? Will any man tell me what is the greenback ? Nothing but the promise or tue Government to pay; and the bond is the same. But on the greenback you pay no interest at all. You made greenbacks money not the representa tive of money, but the money itself. Ifamau owed me a thousand dollars, even if I had loaned him that much gold, you compel me to take greenbacks for it. You passed a law say ing that paper money should be a legal tender, and when 1 called for gold you made me take gieenbacke. I want you to take greenbacks for what the Government owes you, lor what is sauoe for the goose is sauce for the gander. By calling In these bonds, and paying mem orT in iireenbaoks, you nave a hundred and twenty millions a year in taxes, and this Is Just twice as much as the whole expenses of the Govern ment were ten or eleven years ago. Why should not that be done? The proposition of the Democratic party is that this public debt shall be paid off In greenbacks: that your thou sand-dollar bonds shall be paid in legal-tender, upon which the people pay no Interest at all, and thus that we shall escape a large portion of the taxes. Iam not In favor of repudiating one dollar. It must all be paid; but I want it o be paid in what you compelled me to take." To argue with unblushing rascality ist o clothe it with a semblance of respectability; iu t we will waste a few words on this vil aiuous programme: Here is a banker we rill say in London or Frankford who in "803-4 was induced to invest his capital in our Government bonds. He bought them very low Bay at forty cents on the dollar, though few or none were bought so low as that bat we are willing to meet the strongest case that can be made. That price represented the general distrust of our ability to put down the Rebellion and pay the debt we had incurred in fighting it. If any one who had money Tory or Radioal, Republican or Copperhead, had chosen to pay more, he could not have got them so cheaply, lie took the risk of our being able to repay, just as those did who bought Confederate bonds, now worth about three cents per pound avoirdupois. We said to him, "Buy your greenbacks as cheap as you can, and we will gladly give you, for every greenback dollar, our promise to pay a gold dollar by-and-by, with six per cent, in terest meantime." He accepted our offer, and our triumph has made his venture a lucky one; while those who invested in Confederate scrip have lost every penny. Now, what has the fact that our Govern ment had to suspend specie payment and make a gigantic forced loan to do with the justice of our creditor's claim f No matter where he lives, or how much he paid for his bonds, he certainly paid their market value, or be would not have them. We owe him, if anything, exaotly what his bond specifies, no less, no more. To issue twenty-five hundred millions of greenbacks, payable in nothing and never, and tell those to whom we owe gold, 'Take these or nothing !" when the immen sity of the issue will have reduced their value to nothing, would be a far meaner rascality than to refuse to pay one farthing of principal or interest. It would be playing the sneak thief when we might as easily have robbed on the highway. The national debt will not be repudiated, simply because those who have the will can not achieve the power. Let them gain the ascendancy, and the debt is mere waste paper, and they will never incur the foolish ex pense of Issuing two billions of fresh green backs, merely to make a pretense of pay ing it. " C.neral Grant Thi Perplexities of the Politicians. jyotn the N. Y. Herald. The last round in the great political prize fight between Andy Johnson and the radicals baa been almost a settler. The removal of Stanton was bad enough; but the aocesslon of Grant to the office of Secretary of War is suoh f stunning blow that the radicals find them- felves nearly knocked out of time, and come ip to the scratch in the oondition known in he vocabulary of the ring as "groggy," hitting at in a wild and bewildered manner, beating lie empty air and letting their blows fall with THE DAILY" EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY. out effect in all directions. Borne of them ory out that (Irant could not help himself, and that in accepting the office he only obeyed orders, as a soldier must. Home avoid Grant altogether in a gingerly manner, and conteut themselves with showering abnse on the President. One affects to believe that some "important points" in the Grant Stanton-Johnson correspondence are "designedly kept back" by the President, and seeks to get over the troublesome affair with a knowing and mysterious shake of the head. One designates the appointment of Grant as a "Jacobin trick," and hints that unless he enters his protest against other acts alleged t be in contemplation by the Presi dent, lie will "destroy liimBelf," or at least "suffer in some measure the loss of that pres tige which has heretofore attached to his name." Another asks, "Rut what of Grant f" and answers his own question by declaring that "he should have taken the responsibility of disobeying an illegal order." Another "does not mean to say that General Grant is in sym pathy with the real purposes of the Presi dent," but affirms that if he had "refused to lend himself to the arbitrary suspension of an officer against whom no Rhadow of a charge bad been laid, the President must still have been practically powerless." Th Seward orcan of this citv savs nothinc at all. being evidently waiting nervously to see where the next blow will fall. Even Wendell Phil lips, who has more brains and boldness than all the other radicals put together, while casting whole bucketfuls of his abuse over Johnson, Wilson, Seward, Fessenden, Conkling, and Sherman, announces that he will "forbear comment" on the action of Grant "until events show their course more fully." Hut the most curious feature in all this ra Il eal perplexity and consternation is the floun dering of Greeley, lie is as much bothered about Grant's acceptance of the War Office as the Copperhead organ was a short time azo over the Tennessee election. He announces his conviction "in the kindest spirit" that Grant is not a radioal of the Ben Butler and Ashley school. lie assails Grant, who is a soldier, for not mixing in political controversies and criticizing the acts of the President. He oom plains that Grant's able report on the condition of the South "effectively" used up a partisan electioneering account got up to radioal order by Carl gchur. Ho quotes the questionable authority of a Tribune correspondent to prove that President Johnson onoe said to somebody that General Grant was a supporter of his policy, although Greeley will not hesitate to stamp the statements of the President as not altogether reliable. Then, did not Grant ac company Johnson when he swung around the circle ? Did he not actually stand by the side of the President when he once made a speech at the White House f And has he not now accepted the appointment to the War Office f asks Greeley. After all this convincing testimony, it is very probable that the people generally will become satisfied that General Grant is not a negro supremacy radical of the Ben. Butler and Afhley school. They will no doubt conclude that he is simply a patriot and a plain houest man, who is resolved to do his duty to his country without regard to the Copperheads who fought him during the war, or the radi cals who are fighting him now. Whether the politicians will fiud out anything more definite in relation to his political sen iments is very doubtful. For two or three years the Confede rate generals tried to discover his positions and to baffle his movements, and they tried in vain. It is not likely that the bottled-up radi cal generals and political guerillas will be more successful. General Grant uU Ilia Assailants. From the N. Y. Times. An allusion in these columns to General Grant's acceptance of the war portfolio, and the fortunate coincidence of his views with those of the conservative majority in Con gress, has provoked a characteristic rejoinder from the Tribune. Our contemporary, as usual, insinuates what it dare not openly allege. It suggests political crimes which it dare not openly charge. It asks, in what il calls "the kindest possible spirit," when General Grant's "habitual reticence" has ever permitted him to declare himself in favor of the reconstruction policy of Congress ? It desires to know whether he did not, after an official visit, report upon the progress of resto ration at the South under the President's plan ? It wishes to know whether some eaves dropper in the scullery at the White House has not heard the President declare his belief that he had the support of General Grant f It demands to know if General Grant did not take part in the Presidential tour to Chicago ? And it asks, finally, whether General Grant's acceptance of the Secretaryship did not "so completely disarm Mr. Stanton that he retires f " These are, in brief, the Tribune1 1 points of attack. They are enlarged upon with that peculiar oiliness of expression and that feigned humility of sentiment which invariably be token the hypocrite and the coward. If the Tribune desires to injure Generalirant politi cally, why has its editor not the manliness to strike an open and fair blow, instead of striking foult The questions the Tribune asks are the feeblest kind of impertinences. It might, with about equal propriety, ask if General Grant is not committed irrevocably to the Southern Rebels by using Virginia tobacco f What the country has to do with is not the Acting War Secretary's reticence in the com pany of radical schemers and wire-pullers, but his interpretation of the duties of his position, his promptitude, his discretion, his loyal de votion to the cause of the whole country, and his ability to resist the) importunity of radi cal conspirators and party plotters of every degree. How cordially General Grant and Secretary Stanton have acted together at every stage of reconstruction (under the laws of Congress) is thoroughly apparent in every part of the correspondence of the War Office with the military district commanders at the South. Where the Secretary suggests and urges addi tional vigilance for the repression of lawless ness and anarchy, the General simply endorses the circular. Where, again, the General, as in the case of Oovernor Jenkins, desires to know from the Secretary to what extent the law in the case can be made to operate effec tively, the Secretary responds with prompti tude, and throughout there is perfect concert of action. So also when, after the removal of Governor Wells, of Louisiana, the violent editors of New Orleans stated (and stated more manfully than the Tribune is capa ble of doing) that Secretary Stanton and General Grant were in favor of reprimanding Sheridan, Grant's prompt response was this: "There is not one word of truth in the story." As late as the 28th of June, in one of his despatches for Sheridan's guidance, Grant pays: "Enforce your own construction of the Military bill until otherwise ordered." These are but samples not alone of the constant anxiety which marked the labors of the Gene ral at the head of the army in giving effect to the reconstruction laws but they are sam ples, as well, of the thorough and steady cooperation of the head of the army with the head of the War Department. It is only the lowest and meanest kind of malioe that conld see anything else in the direotion of the mili tary business of reconstruction. General Grant, moreover, is not assailed to day because he used his influence to thwart the measures of Congress, but because there is an extreme faotiou at work on the task of laying the wires for the next Presidential election, and because they could better carry out their programme if affairs in the different Executive branches of the Government could be brought to a dead lock. They do not look upon Mr. Stanton's retirement from the standpoint of personal or political regard so far as he is concerned. The leaders of this faction hate Mr. Stanton. He has re ceived as much abuse from the Tri'mne as from any Copperhead sheet in the South. They profess to admire the ex-Secretary's firmness and patriotism, because they believe that ihey could have brought about a state of disorder in the military department of the Government if they could have got him to bold on to an office from which he was 'dis missed by the President, and whose orders he might have disobeyed. The stepping iu of General Grant as Acting Secretary for the time they did not reckon upon. They had pictured to themselves a state of disorder and confusion; instead of which the business of the Army Office and the War Department goes on precisely as it did while Mr. Stanton re mained in office. The same policy controls it. The acts of Congress will continue to be ad ministered as before. The same military subordinates will remain at their posts in the Souihern military districts, and the only change will le in the tactics of the office-hunting crew, whose Presidential game has been so badly spoiled. They will have to begin with their work anew. General Slrklrs and the Charleston itonrd or s'rade Uutveraal Amnesty. From the N. Y. Herald. General Sickles has addressed to the Board of Trade in Charleston a communication in answer to the protest of that Board againat the enforcement of certain of his orders. A double interest attaches to this communica tion, as an able paper itself and as the subjects of which it treats have just been considered in Cabinet, and decided, as we are somewhat vaguely told, in a sense adverse to the Gene ral's views. The document recite3 distinctly the course of events that resulted iu making military law paramount iu South Carolina information very necessary to the Board of Trade and then points out that the orders in question were issued by the proper military authority purely in the interests of the people, to becuie their comfort and prosperity, and to Btay legal proceedings that would be annoying and mischievous without securing any good result that would, in the name of justice, inflict the greatest miseries upon the people. The protest of the Board of Trade is, first, ngainnt the General's modification of the whisky trade; second, against his abolition ot distiess for rent; third, against his order staying the enforced collection of certain classes of debts. It needs, indeed, only to designate the character of these several orders to see that their purpose could only be that of lightening the present burdens of the people, and the communication referred to abundantly shows the wisdom of the two latter in pointing out that, while relieving poor creditors, they are no actual injury to debtors, since suits enforced at the present time could not secure the creditor a satisfac tory remedy and would only render it impos sible that the debtor could ever pay. They have the effect of modified aud limited bank ruptcy acts. This leaves the Board of Trade to stand as the especial representatives and champions of the whisky interest, which they doubtless are; and in the peculiar prominence that the greet frauds on the revenue are giving to that interest it will receive but little sym pathy. It is to be hoped that the President Las not modified the effect of any one of these wise orders. The progress of events is giving also pecu liar weight to another communication from General Sickles namely, his letter to Senator Trumbull, written some time during the sum mer and made public just before the close of the last session of Congress. In that letter the Commander of the Second District exposed forcibly certain notable inconsistencies in the state of our laws regarding the South. Radi cal reconstruction, for instance, gives votes to all the niggers, and it tells the country that this is necessary in order that the votes of these loyal negroes may act as a fair political balance to the votes of the only half loyal Southern whites. The country see3 this argu ment clearly, admits that it is cogent, and the niggers get the votes. Then the radical plan, having thus provided for the nigger, takes up the Southern white man, whom we ought to consider ne longer dangerous, since his political power is nullified or balanced by the vote just given to the freedman. Having thus balanced the white man's vote, how ever, the radical plan next takes it away. Southern white men are disfranchised, and the country is told that this is necessary in order to punish them for rebellion. At this stage the people get puzzled a little. Rebel lion is wrong, is treason, and to punish it is right, no doubt. But, then, all the radical political leaders up at the head of the line have managed to let oil' such head Rebels as Davis with no punishment at all. And why, if the worst Rebels go free, should the deluded masses be punished with the loss of a free man's birthright his vote ? But then, if you must and will punish, and in punishing de prive these hundreds of thousands of Southern white men of their votes, what vote is that which you have balanced by giving votes to the negrots ? Not these votes which you have taken away from others. Perhaps it may be that this balance is to be used yet against the vote of the Northern white man the splendid fellow who walked through lire for four years to save the country. The vote of a man who lost his arm at Antietam may be nullified by that of a stalwart chattel, who hoed the corn that was eaten in Lee's camp at Spottsyl- Y finis These discrepancies in our plans of recon struction, one balancing the white mau's vote and the other taking it away, were forcibly exposed in the letter in question. General Sickles showed that the two plans together se cured too much; that they guaranteed an un necessary degree of safety to republican prin ciples, and did it at the expense of the good will of the whole mass of the whlta men and the best interests of the country. His con cjusions were expressed in these words: Ihe true conservative guarantee against re action is in the addition made to the loyal vote v ? enfranchisement of the oolored people, lhat being done, the oocasion for the disquali fication clause ceases. Ilenoe, the true solu tion, I believe, is to declare with universal suf frage a general amnesty, naming the exceptions. mt?T?t ral amnesty is, in my judgment, es sential to the suocess of the Congressional plan of reconstruction." In the same letter it was well argued that these two points between them kept all good men out of office, prevent ing every community "from securing for the public service men of aptitude and character, whose repentance is as certain aa the devotion of the most consistent loyalist." These are the words of a careful observer a man who has w sely considered the circumstances and condition of the people and the country. General bickles i was from the first the com mander who bad the best appreciation of the difficulties of reconstruction, and his letter to Senator Trumbull touches the Important point go with universal suffrage, and thus one class of Southern voters will rightly guide and check the other; the dImo venting the disloyal tendE, otheChiC' and the whites preventing tendencls on the other side less feared but not less dangerous. Opsnlng on Grant. from theft. Y. Evening Erpret. There is no peace, no rest for the wicked. What with lamentations over the untimely fate of the martyr Stanton, aud the unkind proceedings on the part of General Grant, in stepping into the martyr's shoes, and the rising clamor of the Southern freedmen, for a fair share of the nominations, the offices, and the publio plunder, the "party of ereat moral ideas" bids fair to be swamped in a sea of troubles. Of course, we Copperheads cannot be expected to expend many tears over these tribulations. On the contrary, we may be for given, perhaps, the sincere wish that the sea of trouble will keep rising and rushing, until he piratical craft goes down with all on board, "Deerer than plummet ever sounded." The cool impudence of the radicals in appro priating uraut to themselves, without even consulting him, indicates at once the assu rance and the expectations of the demagogues who are running the Republican machine. Just now we cannot recall any expression or any act of the General susceptible of being twisted into presumptive evidence, even, that he was with the Jacobins. But it suited them to take the thing as a matter of course, and no wonder, therefore, that, having thus made themselves the voluntary victims of self-deoep-tion, the more shrewd of them are beginning, as time progresses, to wake up to the possi bility that they have been cruelly sold. The chagrin, which is the natural result, finds free vent in the Tribune of Thursday; and now that the feeling is one too strong to be suppressed, we should not be surprised to see a heavy cannonading of the General-in-Chief from radical batteries all along the line. Wendell Phillips ("the mau who supplies the Republican party with brains,") led off in hostile demonstration against him, some time since, but his sup porters have not beeu able to muster sufficient courage, until now, to follow it up. The 1 ribune article shows that they can hold in no longer. Phillips, we remember, made his boast that, though he would be left to oppose Grant tingle-handed and alone, for a while, yet ultimately the rest of the party would be obliged to bring up their forces, to unite with him. Herein we have a new proof of the great agitator's wonderful political prescience, and of his intimate knowledge of the real character of the men with whom he is aocustomed to act. Greeley is about breaking up camp, to follow Phillips to the front, and in due time, in ac cordance with precedent, the stragglers, the "bummers," and the baggage-smashers, will follow.
