Tlic Smell of Sulphur.
From the y. Y. lndependcr.t.
It is eauy to Bee through the pompons bnsl
nesfl which Roseoraus has Just been tomluctlug
at White fcSnlpbur Springs. Harboring Against
Grant a personal grmlgo of many years stand
ing, he saw a chauoe for reveng iu deserting
the political party of which Orant Is the can
didate; and so, on tb eve of battle, he sneaks
over to the enemy. Had he iu like inauner
ekulked away from btoue Hiver into Bragg's
ramp, his act would have been more mis
chievous, but his motive not more dispioable.
Nominally the Minister to Mexico, he has be
come the minister to the Southern Confede
racy. Knowing that Oraut, as commander of
the army, had an ineradicable distrust of his
character and judgment, and knowing that
under Oraut as President of the United States
he could not remain the plenipotentiary to
Mexico for ten days, previous that his only pos
eible politioal future is under Seymour and
the revolutionists; and he is therefore dili
gently plottiug with the leaders of the Re
bellion to compass the defeat of the Republi
can party.
His letter to Lee Las a true smell of sul
rhnr. It is full of the Devil's suggestions,
ihink of a once trusted leader of a Union army
studiously omitting from his enumeration of
what lie calls "the people of the South" the
Six millions of Southern Unionists, both white
aud black, lie divide the inhabitants of the
Rebel States into two distiui t classes; calling
one "the people of the South," and calling
the other "the poor, simple, uneducated,
landless freedmen, and the few whites who,
against public opinion, are willing to attempt
to lead." Such a gentimeut disinheriting
a fifth part of the whole population of the
republic is a disgrace to its author.
Yhether a inau has laud or not, whether
he has learning or not, whether he has pov
erty or not, wnether he is white or not, he
is Btill a ruan; aud, if he be an American citi
zen, he is entitled to every political preroga
tive which belongs to General Rosecraus, To
the Bouthern Unioniwt this Union soldier offers
only insult; bat to General Lee who was the
ringleader of the Rebel banditti, and who,
Without exception, is the greatest criminal of
the nineteenth century he kneels like a
fawning llatterer, and says: "I know you are
a representative in in in reverence and regard
for the Union, the Constitution, and the wel
fare of the cuuutiy." oQ the contrary, the
plain truth is, (irneral Lee is less a lover of
the Union, the Constitution, and the country
than . is the humblest negro who oarriod a
luusket for the national deense !
In his reply the wily Virginian says: "The
idea that the Southern people ate hostile to
the negroes, and would oppress them, if it
were in their power to do so, is entirely un
founded." - But ask the negroes themselves
whether or not the idea that "the Southern
people" are hostile to them is "entirely uu
founded." Ai-k the washerwomen whom Lee
lias Hogged, aud the waiter-boys whose ears he
Las pinched I The "change," says Lee, "in
the relations of the two races has wrought no
change in our feeling towards them." Of
course, it ha3 not. The ex-slavehoider looks
now upon the freedmen exactly as he once
looked upon the slave; so that, when Lee and
Lis confederates promise to give the same pro
tection to the negro in the future as they have
given in the past, it is "such protection as the
vulture gives the lamb covering and devour
ing him." .
The diplomatic correspondence at White Sul
phur Springs was mada pnblic biniultaueoualy
With the news of the expulsion oi the colored
members of the Georgia Legislatuie. This one
act was the fit commentary on those two epis
tles. Lee Is explioit in saying, "The people of
the South are opposed to any tysteai of laws
which would place the political power of the
country in the hands of the negro race."
Accordingly, acting on the Irishman's motto
Wherever you see a head, hit it" the
Rebels already propose, wherever they see a
negro, to strike him. The colored members of
the Georgia Legislature had done no wrong,
Lad violated no usage, had overstepped no
limit of propriety, had transgressed no rule of
deoorum; they had simply committed the
offense of carrying into the legislative halls the
Hack skins with which God had chosen to
Lonor their faces; and for this reason, and for
this only, they were expelled 1
But we like this expulsion. It is exaotly
to our minds. Nothing better could have
happened. It is the Rebellion cutting off its
own head. It is the premonitory madness
of those whom the gods mean to destroy. It
is already quickening the pulse of the slug
gish North. It has added one more to the
many foretokens of Grant's triumphant eleo
tion. In fact, it makes us ready to reutter
Mrs. Browning's prayer, "Give us more mad
ness, Lord."
Do tlicy Mean to Lie? '
From the N. Y. Trioune.
A lie ia an assertion made with intent to de
ceive. ' Do or do not the opponents of Oraut
and Colfax habitually make such statements
with regard to the national finauc is ? We
make no charge, but ttate facts, leaving con
clusions to ha drawn hy others.
The World editorially says:

Is that Uue ?
'Tho Secre'.aiy of the Treasury officially
state the total Apparent debt on the. lit inst.
at $2.G43,2.r)(J1ri, but adds that the cash in
the Tieafaury amount to ?107,Cll,y71, which,
deducted from tho above, leaves the actual
debt 2,35,045,313. Need we argue that the
money ought to b deducted to ascertain the
true amount of the dubt f Here, tor instance,
are fcouie $2.r,0UO,(iO0 of certificates of deposit
of coin. ludivid-ials are allowed to deposit
their gold in the Treasury, drawing no inte
rest thereon, and take certificates therefor for
convenieuo in business. Is our debt in
creased by the sum of tho?e certificates, when
we have the gold ready to redeem them on
call ? Is our debt increased hy the amount of
the greenbacks nointhe Treasury f If we
owe tbeni, is it not to ourselves? Those
questions admit hut of one answer.
A&ain: We have lent to the l'adflo Railroads
honds amounting to 35,311,000. The rail
roads pay the interest thereon as it accrues;
they are to pay the principal when due; and
the Government has a second mortgage on
their reppeotive roads to securesuch payment.
yen if they were to fall those roadi will all
many millions not cie;ely to the Wx lle pro
perty and income of the people, but to the
revenues of the Government, by stimula,tiug
settlement, prod action, etc., in the central
region of our continent, hitherto hardly acoe3
eible.' With what reason is thia comingimt
liability added to our war debt 1 Vet, without
it, and' deducting the cash in the Tnmury,
our national debt is apparently rl 5uO,3;iD,3H,
pd really p'uuh less, because . in uw giveu

But the World navs the debt was bat I

conrso, there may have been some time early i
in 1SG5, when the ascertained, lhiuidattd debt (
was no more man is stated above. But KioU
mond did not fall till April of that year, and
Lee's surrender dates from the !Uh of that
mouth. Johnston's, Dick Taylor's, aul the
other Rebel armies, surrendered at a innoh
later day. The bloody affairs of Five Fork,
Bentonville, Averyeboro', Mobile, Selraa, etc.,
etc, all ooenrred in lSfSfi; and our armies
were not mustered out aud paid off till about
the middle of that year part of them not till
near the close of it. Secretary MjCulloch
officially reported the debt, over and above the
cash in the Treasury, as follows:
July 31, 1805 . . . $2,757,233,275
Sept. 1, 18G5 . . . 2,757,030,571
It Is now $257,000,000 less, after paying
17,200,000 in gold for Alaska, unless the
Treasury is charged with the contingent lia
bility for building the Unci lie Roads. And
why should it be ? That is not money Bpent
In war and so sunk, but a guarantee to secure
the construction of works which must add
vastly to the wealth and prosperity conse
quently, to the tax-paving aoility of our
people.

Iiim-kley Honed Out.
From the N. Y. Herald.
Mr. Binckley, "the distinguished gentle
man," as Mr. District Attorney Courtney
politely or sarcastically calls him, who came ou
lrom Washington some two weeks ago, and,
without having the courtesy to inform Mr.
Courtney or any member of his office of what
he was doing, obtained affidavits on his own
motion and caused them to be issued for the
arrest of certain parties, has at length been
bowed out of the case of the United States vs.
Commissioner Rollins it al. Mr. Courtney
Lad waived this discourtesy on account of the
magnitude of the interests involved in the in
vestigation. He went into it with all his
power and with the assistance of all the mem
bers of his department in the endeavor to fer
ret out the charges, whatever they were, but
he fonnd it "like drawing ej e-'eeth out of this
gentleman to ascertain what line of oouduct
was to be adopts, what pursued, what
testimony could be procured, what evidence
he had obtained, or upon what basis or theory
he intended to prosecute this case." He dis
covered that Mr. Biukley had a sort of raua
bliug idea that th Southern District of New
York had jurisdiction orer all the United
States. A contemporary has printed in a
letter from Washington an amusing accouut
of an interview at the Astor House between
the District Attorney and the Solicitor of In
ternal Revenue. Accordi'ug to this story Mr.
Binckley asked Mr. Courtney "which side he
had made up his mind to appear for in the
investigation beforo Commissioner Gmmon."
Mr. Courtney told Mr. Binckley tint
he could not talk with him upon
that subject, and immediately arose
to depart. Mr. Binckley undertook to
prevent Mr. Courtney from leaving the room
by closing the door. In doing so he pinched
Mr. Courtney's finger in the door, whereupon
Mr. Courtney turned, aud, strikiug out from
the shoulder, got in such a blow between Mr.
Binckley's eye3 as to Bend him iu A hurried
and confused manner to the sofa. After the
prostiate Solicitor of the Internal Revenue had
been sufficiently pounded he cried loudly for
quarter, and two Dnpnty United States Mar
fchals who happened to be passing came to his
relief. Mr. Binckley said not,hiag lurther ahuut
which Bide Mr. Courtney should take, aud the
latter letired flushed with victory.
We published a full report of the pro
ceedings in the United States Commisbiou
eis' Court, in the course of which the valorous
Mr. Binckley "defied everything that New
York could bring against him;" and after Mr.
Courtney had read the telegraphic disavowal
by the Acting Attorney-General of any right
of Mr. Binckley to participate In the prosecu
tion, except by suileiauce on the part of Mr.
Courtney, the District Attorney declared that
his manhood and self-respect forbade any fur
ther association with Mr. Binckley. Mr. Binck
ley then took his hat and cane, and shaking the
dust off his feet, solemnly announced, "i will
appear again iu New York." This prediction
Seems little likely to be fulfilled. The case, so
far at least as he is concerned with it, appears
to have collapsed. The general opinion now
is that of all the developments of the Internal
Revenue imbroglio the Binokl-y affair is the
richest farce. The question is agitated, who
is this Binckley 1 Is he the Head Centre of
the Ku-Klux Klan f Is he the founder of the
Knights of the-Golden Circle? Is he the
father of the Sons of Liberty f " Whoever he
may be, he must be convinced by this time
that he got hold of the wrong customer when
he tried to browbeat Mr. Courtney aud ven
tured to intimidate him by threats of political
decapitation. Ue may have suoceeded in fool
ing Andrew Johuoon, but, notwithstanding his
big, swelling words of vanity, the publio oau
luuk upon nini only as a scalawag aud a car
petbagger. He has gone back to Washing
ton, ana we cannot adyi.-e him to "appear
jigaiu in New Y'ork" bsa volunteer rprieu
tative of the United St utes Government.
Uic Wells-Athinson Sk-ccU on the Tablle
Debt.
From the 2?. Y. Tf oria.
The Republican papers of this oit'y have
published, with an air of mock triumph, a
speech on the public dobt. and kindred topics,
delivered belore the Republican State Conven
tion of Massachusetts, m Wednesday, by Mr.
Edward Atkinson, who is be uraied as one of
the first financiers in the country. Iu alluding
to the speech, we liud that Mr. ftdward Atkin
son is a mere puppet put forward by the Re
publicans to repeat a string of eUtialica with
which he has just been ciamuied by David A.
Wells, Special Commi-sinner of ;he Reveuue.
The electioneering exhibit got up by Mr.
Wells, two mouths ago, has beeu ao shattered
by collision with the monthly debt statements
of the Secretary of the Treasury, that it la no
wonder that both he and his employers Bee
that something must be done. We accord
ingly find Mr. Wells trying to navigate the
raws waters in a different aud more heavily
Ireighted cratt. Mr. Atkinson credits his dis
comfited prompter with till the figures that he
UFes, but claims credit himself lor the deduc
tions and inferences. But as the figures have
been got lip with a view to establish the In'er
tnceB, we bhall treU the whole joint prodau
tion as the work of Mr. Weils.
The main portion of the speech is a labored
attack on the truthfulness of the debt state
ments which have been made from time to
time by the Seoietary of the Treasury. Thirl
is the natural, but not very high miudel re
tort of a man stung with uiorUlofUiou at the
fiftgrant contradictions between his lute eleo
tioneeiiug exhibit and the official statements of
the Secretary. Between Mr. Wells an I Mr.
McCullooh there was an astounding discrep
ancy of nearly forty-Keven millions of dollars
mptoling changes Iu the publio debt within
1he Jant lirioal jeiir;- Mr. Wells deolaring that
U.ere had , been a savh'fr, out of tho ievrtuuf9
of the year, of nearly thirty-live millions, and
Jlr, $kCullooh' tba brides eijidiug all tho
revenues, the debt had been ni'jieiticd more
than twelve millions during the year. Tint
so enormous a contradiction should put Mi
Wells In an agony of chagrin, Is not surpris
ing. But in seeking relief, he has jump I out
of the frying-pan Into the Ore, as w will
abundantly show. We will give him tho mar
tiflcation of seeing himlf in tHgrant o ntr
dic'ion net only to Mr. MoCullooh, but to Mr.
Wells himself. W appeal from Daril A.
Wells the balked phrty tool of to-day, to David
A. Welle, the impartial itatistioiaii of eight
months aud two year ago.
One of the extraordinary diaooverles which
Mr. Wells now announces through his puppet,
Mr. Atkinson Is, that we have pal 1 off one
fourth of the national debt since the olose of
the war. The feat Is not more wonderful thau
that it should have been kept so profouud a
secret. It was reserved for Mr. Wells to dis
cover it all of a sudden, wheu his character
for sccuraoy bad leen fatally damaged by
mortifying exposures, and he was put under a
necessity of doing something to retrieve th
mischief he had unwittingly done to his radi
cal employers.
The revenues of the Government stnoo the
elope of the war have been equal to three-fifths
of the present public debt. Out of so pro
digious an Income there can be no question
that the debt ouyht to have been greatly re
duced. Mr. WTells makes his puppet say that
it has been reduoed more than eight hundred
millions I To make out so surprising a propo
sition he contenda that the amount of the debt
has never been correctly stated, and that what
Secretary McCulloch gave out as the highest
figures it ever reached, were Borne five or six
hundred millions short of the truth. It is odd
enough that neither Mr. Wells, with all his in
dustry and opportunities, nor any othr delver
in the pnblio accounts, found out, till now,
that Mr. McCnl.och has been Imposing upon
the country and upon the world, bystatiug the
publio debt live or six hundred niillious bulow
its actual amouut. It is not merely old, It is
ridiculous, that a stupendous hoax like this
should be put forth uuder the sauctiou of
David A. Wells, the same David A. Wells
who, two years ago, wrote a long, indignant
letter to tlie London Times, confuting a then
recent article in JUaclwood's Afayizine which
exaggerated the amount of our publio debt.
Nobody who keeps the thread of our fiutnoial
history can fail to recollect liU indiguant let
ter, and the virtuous atnaz jiueut of the writer
that anybody could have had the effrontery to
say that our national debt was greater thau
the official Ft itntnents of Mr. McCulloch made
it. In that letter, Mr. Wells thus endorsed
the statement which he now ui kes a labo
rious effort to impugn: As rog trds the state
ment that the aggregate auionut of the debt at
tl;e close of .the war aud the relati ns of the
greenbacks to the deb'. hi Urver b"eu clsarly
explained, we will simply say thit it h
untrue. Congress by law requires the
American Secretary of the Treasury to pub
lish, as soon as praii.ci'.ile after the cla-e of
each month, an exct stitem ut of the pabli'i
debt in all its departments, together with the
exact amount ot the csh on hmd; aul this
law has been most faithfully complied with
since the close of ttn war." In auothur part
of his letter Mr. Wells spoke sueeringly,
almost ooarsely, of those, who were not mlly
satisfied with the Information given by Secre
tary McCulloch: "It may be," said he, "as
the writer in lilackwowl asserts, that Ameri
can finance is not a clear balance-sheet to
which even th French people are aooustomed.
In jndging of this we should i-"ineuiber that the
eye can never see beyond the capacity which
it brings for peeing." As much as to say,
that if anybody failed to fiud the whole truth
in Mr. McCullnch's official statements, it was
owing to stupidity. Audnnw thi same Mr.
Wells proclaims, through his Massachusetts
puppet, that the whole country aud the whole
world . have been deceived respecting the
amount of the public debt to an extent equal
to one fourth of its present amount. Mr.
Wells seems to have brought to his latest
investigations "eyes" with most wonderful
"capacity for seeing" what does not exist.
For if it existed, why was it so long invisible ?
Another extraordinary difdosnre in this
Wells Atkinson speech is the statement that
the administration of the Government is per
fectly economical, and costs a great deal less
at present than it did in Mr. Buchanan's
time I We copy the following passage from
the speech: v , , ,

i.on.lLiihUatiou with Mr Krent. r.
We again appeal ' from Wells the 1 politioal
tool of the radical poiitiuiaus to Walls the
statistician of the Treasury Department. In
January last, Mr. Wells made a long and care
lul report covering the whole subjnot of the
pnblic revenue's and expeuditnres. In thtt
ipoit, he presented himself as the zealous
advocate of economy, and pointed ou' in detail
where large reductions could be mad.i lu the
espenses of adminisuation. But according to
the Worcester speech, retrenchment was im
popfible, Binr-e the Government has all along,
under Republican managrmeut, been a marvel
and paragon of rigorous economy. , It costs
Jess to govern the country nov, we are told,
thau it did under a Democratic administration
previous to the war. How long has Mr. AVelb
leen of this pph.bm? In hia January report he
dilated at length on the proiun increase of
ordinary expenses as compared with the
last fiscal year which preceded the outbreak
of the war. B-'tsidos the greater costlinets of
the army and u ivy, lw said that "in the de
partment ot the civil hat tnd miscellaneous,
an increaFeof expenditure of l:t; and 112 per
cent, respectively, makl'tg an annual aggre
gate Of over tweuty-peveu millions, would
seem to indicate that sum considerable reduc
tion is here, also, entirely practicable." After
jointing out, under six head, his proposed
luemuuH in irireucu'iienv iir. YVt-lLti went Oil
to Bsy: "With the substantial adoption, on
the part tf Congress, of an economtoal policy
as above indicated, the ordinary expwises oi
the Government might, it u beli-vtd, be im
mediately leduned to one hundred aud forty
millions per annum, bich. amount would,
even then, be an excess of over one hundred
per cent, on the oidiuary expeulitures of th!
fit col year of 1861." -
These citations from Mr. Wella' former pub
lications prove the Worceslor cpch to 4m
thoroughly ditboiie-i. The faliticatioiu, ave
F broad that th.-y would Lw s-jU rotu(.ed, even'
if it Veie nit able to cdifiout tbrui with Mr.
Wells' fwu . former. fcta-fn.!i;t-, v.hVh, put

end hnaviih. Tl.ey are toooulrugebusly false
for him to l willing to take the direct re
sponsibility of them; and yet, being put forth
under oolor of hia authority, they are meant
to delude the publio Into the belief that they
have the exactness of official statements. The
exposures which have been made of Wells'
deceptive electioneering report in July, make
him Bhy of coming forward again in person
and benrlng tho brunt of criticism. But as
the maker of the Worcester speech deolared
that Mr. Wella supplied the materials, we
scorn a controversy with the month pipce,
and grapple directly with the author. The
Ivlng speech is easily exploded by quotations
from Wells himself. There is more to be said
upon It when we bavo space and leisure.
