Ko ToHry in the Situation.
From the iV. Y. Times.
Although we cannot concur in the doleful
vaticinations of the Journal of Commerce touch
ing the results of the year's receipts and ex
penditure?, we accept, with curtain qualities
lions, its view as to the hard realities .of the
situation:--
"There Is no poetry In tbe situation, and we
Intend that It shall not be our limit If tlie
people do not understand It. Hurrahing lor
parly will not fill the Treasury. Promises of
Immediate relief lo l.urdenetl tax-payers are all
for buncombe, and cannot, be kept. The whonl
is sett In? heavily in the rut of debt, aud only
sturdy sliouklern can ijlvo It an onward motion.
This woik. must come upon the tolilnz millions
of the country, vote us tuoy may in tuo elecllou
bow before us."
We Bubuiit, however, that though "there
is no poetry in the situation," there is no ne
cessity for representing that situation as worse
thau it is. The Journal does not hesitate to
repudiate the fiuaucial policy of the New York
Convention; and it rebukes exaggerated pro
mises of democratic orators by confessing that
'hurrahing for party" will not satisfy the
financial demands of the time. Why does it
cultivate the vice it censures by adopting the
absurd inventions of Delmar, and, for partisan
ell'ect, exaggerating the requirements while
depreciating the resources of the Treasury f If
the Jou ual really desires to enlighten the
people, by all means let it write on some better
Labis thau the fictions coined to order by the
doomed Director of the Bureau of Statistics.
The business and fiuaucial condition of the
country is much better than the Democrats
choose to admit. Without olaiming for Re
publican management the merit of perfection,
this at least is cler it has succeeded in
largely reducing the debt, and in diminishing
taxation to an extent whioh has brought re
lief to trade and industry. Moreover, the
general prospect of business is brighter thau
at any period since the close of the war.
Neither the customs revenue nor the internal
revenue is in jeopardy; the receipts from both
promise to equal the estimates, while, with
the exception of the Indian difficulties, there
is at present no apparent cauae of enhanced
expenditures.
Nevertheless, it must be admitted that the
situation is not poetical. Ample scope yet
remains for retrenchment and lidcal reform.
The debt awaits adjustment on a foundation
to be reached only afier confidence shall have
been tully restored; the system of taxation
ueed3 more through revision, and the internal
revenue adnnnistrat'ou calls lor increased
Much work remains to be done ou
subjects, work whioh to be done
must be guided by intelligence and
Thus, while no reason exists for
despondency, there is no pretext for excessive
exultation.
The question which behoves "the toiling
millions" to consider is, whether the Repub
lican or the Democratio party, under the lead
respectively of Grant and Seymour, my
most safely be trusted to meet the wants of
the fiscal and financial situation. Certain
facts are very stroDg in favor of the Republi
cans. They have reduced the debt. Ttiey
have cut down expenditures. They have
lessened taxation. These achievements in the
past constitute the best possible pledges for the
future. They are proofs that the party now
dominant in Congress is iutent upon mitigating
the burdens of the people as rapidly as the
exigencies of the Government will allow. The
financial policy of the party, moreover, is the
only one that can produce further relief. It
aims at the restoration of the currency to a
healthy basis, and at the development of a
confidence which will facilitate a large reduc
tion of the expenditures on account of the debt.
, tn these grounds, reliance upon the purpose
and ability of the Republicans to alleviate the
financial consequences of the war is fully jus
tified. But how is it with the Democrats ? Their
friend, the Journal of Commerce, admits that
partisan legerdemain i unequal to the oooa
eion. "Promises of immediate relief to bur
dened taxpayers" in which Messrs. Pendle
ton & Co. largely indulge "are all for bun
combe, and cannot be kept." There must be
patient and judicious management, with har
mony between legislators and the moneyed
and business interests of the community. But
this harmony the Democratic policy would
render unattainable. Instead of establishing
confidence, that policy would excite distrust,
and eventually panic It is a policy of antago
nism to capital, and to the interests on which
enterprise and industry are depeudent. It
would increase the difficulties whioh now en
compass the situatiou, and create others from
which "the toiling millions" would be the first
to sutler.
The situation certainly calls for something
beside partisan shouting. Though much less
gloomy than the Delmars of the Demooratio
party choose to paint it, it is sufficiently
serious in its financial aspect to awaken the
anxiety of solvent and thoughtful men. Their
preference is not a matter of doubt. As
between the Republican policy of good faith
and the Democratio policy of repudiation, they
are not likely to hesitate.
Kadical Misrepresentation and Oppression.
From the Washington National Intelligencer.
Not a few of the radical organs are seeking
to make capital out of the utterances of the
Independent Monitor, a paper published at Tas
caloosa. Borne have not only produced its
violent editorials, but a woodcut representing
the hanging of carpet-baggers, with accom
panying prose and verse. It is a sufficient an
swer to all this to say that such extreme opin
ions as characterize the Monitor are repu
diated not only by the press at large, bat the
people. Ino one can deny that there are men
at the South who are intemperate in speech
and foolish in act. But it Is the grossest in
justice to take the ultra sayings of a few of
this class as indicative of the temper of the
whole people. Undoubtedly the South-
era people would, in view of the gross
violation of the pledges of Congress,
lie excusable for exhibiting no little
heat and resentment. Tor Congress declared
the war was for the restoration. Time an t
again it pledged itself that all that was asked
of the Southern people was that they should
lay down their am s and return to their con
etitutional obligations. Yet it excluded the
Representatives and Senators elect, and after
months oi wraDgimg, proposed the Howard
amendment, refusing, however, to say that if
accepted it would be bound by it. And when
It was rejected it dilly-dallied for months
more, and passed the military bill, and at in
vervals most stringent amendments totally
disorganizing the existing laws and Govern
ments of the South, and establishing; a military
despotism and social chaos; and for three long
years tue people nave suuerea irom congres
clonal rancor aud partisanship. The people
of the South are smarting tinder the
sense of Congressional injustice. They
cannot see the fairness in undertaking to apply
principles to them which are repudiated by
-Northern men iu their own States. They
simply ask that the constitutional rule which
peimits each State to manage its own Institu
tions shall be applied to them, and they make
an earnest appeal for this to the people of the
North. The opponents of radicalism beli.ne
in but one construction of the Constitutiou for
all sections. They repudiate all Congressional
intermeddling with State affairs. They de
mand that Congress shall keep itself rigidly
within the grant of powers made by the or
ganic law; and this is what makes it pre
eminently the Union party of the country. It
wonld preserve the Union by the same spirit
in whioh our fathers founded it, aud not sett
to dictate at the point of the bayonet to the
people of arty State what they shall do,
or what they Bhall leave undone, in order
to enjoy their constitutional rights, so long as
they conform to their constitutional oblig
tions. On the other hand, radicalism prescribes
for the South, under the pressure of arm-ad
power and the denial of constitutional rights,
conditions not imposed by tue Constitution,
and- repugnant to the organic law of most of
the States; and at the same time it exaggerates
every indication of restivenesa under such
abuse of power, and puts forward isolated in
stances as establishing a universal principle.
Ought the men who misrepresent those they
oppress, in order to exouse their oppression,
be longer trusted with power f This is a ques
tion on which the American people must pais
their solemn verdict in November next.
Delmar the Doleful.
f rom the IV. Y. Tribune.
Whoever wisbes to see the most conclusive
refnta ion of the adage that figures will not
"lie" which modern iigure-mongers have been
able to exhibit, should give his days au?
nights to the study of Mr. Alexander Delmar
The appoiutment of this person to the plaor
previously so well filled by Dr. William Eidei
Wft
be
an account of our financial condition that
shall lower the national credit, appeal to Mr.
Delmar as the fitting man to produce it. He
promptly responds, and furnishes forth three
columns of figures that darken knowledge
and insinuate falsehoods most beautifully.
Let us look at a few of the more glaring mis
statements: I. Mr. Delmar's objeot is to show that under
Republican management the Treasury is be
coming bankrupt; that taxes have been re
duced for campaign purposes only, at the ex
pense of an inevitable delicienoy of a hundred
and fifty millions at the end of the year, to be
made up by luture increased taxation. lie
accordingly seeks to manipulate the figures
so as to show large expenditures and small
receipts. His first remarkable achievement
in this line is the estimate that for the cur
rent fiscal year the reoaipts from customs will
be only one hundred and fifty millions. Now,
the receipts from customs last year are given
by Mr. Delmar himself at $11)4404,599. To
make out his case, he only asks us to believe
that they must this year be a trifle of four
teen and a half millious less. The' Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means, in an
elaborate discussion of this subjeet before the
Jlouse, eaid:T-"lt is difficult to imagine a con
tingency which. Ph5.ll, for the present, reduod
the customs receipts below one hundred and
sixty-live millions." But a man has been
found who is equal to this feat of the imagi
nation. Ilia name is Alexander Delmar.
II. We are next informed that the receipt?
from internal revenue for the ensuing year
will only be a hundred and twenty-two mil
lions. . Last year, with all the stealing of Mr.
Johnson's revenue agents, they were a hun
dred and ninety-three millions. We have im
proved the law, and made more rigid provi
sions against the stealing of the Democratio
tax-gatherers; we mean, next Mirch, to turn
out the thieves and put in honest men. Yet
Mr. Delmar expects us to believe that we Bhall
thus secure for the Government the bagatelle
of seventy-one millions less than the thieves
left it. The Chairmau of the Ways and Means
Committee, being responsible to the House
and the country for the aoouracy of.hia esti
mates, in a matter wholly within bis hands,
deolared his belief that, tinder the amended
law which he proposed, the receipts would be
$ziu,tuu,uuu. lie was not able to carry
through all his amendments; but his very
lowest estimate, avowedly based upon a pos
sible failure to colleot any more of the whisky
and tobacco taxes for 18o9 than for 18G8, was
$104,000,000. Mr. Delmar has more faith in
Mr. Johnson's thieves than this. He ciphers
down the taxes that may be expeoted to escape
their clutches forty-two millions below this
figure.
ill. Un the receipts from the Bales of pubno
lands Mr. Delmar is quite moderate. The re
ceipts last year were $1,348,715. Neither the
Commissioner of the Land Office, the Seoretary
of the Treasury, nor the Chairman of Ways
and Means, dreams that they will be any less
next year, and bo Mr. Delmar only cuts them
down one-fourth. In the same way, the direct
tax having only amounted to about two
millions last year, Mr. Delmar moderately
restrains himself to a modest reduction to a
million and a half.
IV. But it is on the miscellaneous receipts
that Mr. Delmar comes out again iu all his
glory. In the last fisoal year these were
within a few thousauds of forty-seven millions.
This year our financial oracle thinks they will
be five millions t He gives absolutely no
explanation of this enormous falling olf
which he pretends to anticipate. Perhaps,
however, we can aid him. A large part of
the miscellaneous receipts has been derived
from the premium on the sales of gold. This
item has been wholly left out. The result is
a blunder (or a swindle and such is the com
posite character of this remarkable financial
light that we are in constant duubt as to how
mnch of him is blunder and how much swin
dle) the result is a blunder of only forty-two
minions i
V. The entire expenditures of the Govern
ment for the last fiscal year were $370,339,073.
There is no page or porter about the Treasury
Department ignorant enough not to know that
the appropriations for the next year were
largely reduced to the iofluite grief of the
Secretary and the continued lamentation of
his underlings. Yet Mr. Delmar coolly guesses
that for the ensuing year witn the ureea
men's Bureau expiring by limitation, with
army expenses largely reduced, bounties paid,
naval bills cut down, reconstruction measura
bly over, and a general system of retrench
ment the expenditures will be four hundred
and feventy five millious I Here is riobaHS 1
To reduce appropriations, rocordiug to the
delicious Delmar, is to increase expenditure.
Heboid how extravagant are the Republican I
They reduced the war appropriations one
half'; they cut down the eaiiunes ou all hauls
till the Secretary lilted np his voice in loud
remonstrance, a'ter the fashion of Secretaries,
and all the lobbyists stood aghast; therefore
these wretched Republicans will spend this
year a hundred millions more thau they did
during the last I Such is the Delmar logic,
illustrated by the Doltnar arithmetic.
The aiithmetio we have had before. Our
Washington correspondent opportunely re
calls the performance of the "Director of the
Bureau of Statistics" in the matter of tha sta
tistics of the United States. His production
was BO disgracefully inaccurate that the Secre
tary ordered it to be burned. An auto-da-fe
in the present case would doubtless prove
equally gratifying, were it not that, to make
thorough work of it, he would have to burn
almost every Copperhead paper in the country.
To reason seriously about such jumbles of
guesses as Mr. Delmar presents seems useless.
Blunders of forty millions are nothiug to him;
actual appropriations form no barrier to the
flights of his fancy concerning the national
expenditures; actual receipts furnish no salve
to soothe his inflamed apprehensions concern
ing the' national income. A last year's al
manac would be high financial authority
compared with his estimates; a table of loga
rithms would serve as well as his figures to
exhibit our expenses or our revenues. But
we can suggost one consolation wuicu may
meet even Mr. Delmar's case. He draws a
doleful picture of our probable receipts, but
these are receipts from Mr. Johnson's tax-
gatherers. He presents a sad statement of
expenditures which, in epite of Congressional
appropriations, must be made; but these are
the expenditures of Air. Johnson's Heads or
departments, lie instructs us to regard Mr.
Johnson as "one of the purest and most honest
I of men," but the American people think they
lean do better. After next March these customs-
I and taxes will be collected and spent by a,
different set of agents. Let Delmar the doleful
remember this; devote himself to the primary
(rules of arithmetic in his approaching retiracy,
and possess his soul in patience.
The "Outrage" Business.
row the N. Y. World.
About this time look out for "outrages." A
Jice, lat "outrage" can be made to go a great
rays, sinco experience has shown that if a
hue man in the South treads, or is said to
read, upon a negro's heel, there are many
xcellent persons in the iNorth, nowise other-
fays inclined to radicalism, who forthwith
ibloom i ito tho fiercest "loilty." The argument
s, you Eee, that if there Is an "outrage"
outh, I must go on submitting to outrage
North. Another curious thing in this business
is the remarkable adaptation of these fearsome
riot J to party purposes. Thus, when a con
servative sentiment manifested itself before
the Congressional elections of lSb'0", we had
the Memphis and New Orleans riots, and upon
this tide there floated iuto the House as choice
a two-thirds majority of "trooly loil" men as
one would care to see. After this floating
in, the riots died out, .and were not
otherwise alluded to thau by cross
road orators anxious to point a moral or
adorn a tale. They had subserved their pur
pose, they had kept radicalism in power, and
were not worth further talking about. Next
to this stroke, to skip some lesser "outrages,"
all happily timed and largely conduoing to
moral ideas, there came an attempted riot in
New Orleans on the 1:2th of this present mouth.
But why in New Orleans, and why on the
12th T Evidently because New Orleans, by
reason of the 1866 business, had a bad repute
so bad that an "outrage" there would bring:
with it memories of other "outrages," auJr
thereby intensify the present with the past.
But why upon the 12th? Would not any
other date have done as well ? Most evidently
not. On the 21st of September the Congress
was to meet, if it met at all prior to next De
cember; as thinr3 stood, otherwise It was ne
Ctssary to have eomethlug in the "outrage"
way to bear out Representative Sohenck and
Senator Morgan in reassembling the claus; aud
this necessity it was sought to meet by having
a neat case of "Rebel barbarity" in New
Orleans. As the reader knows, this little
game, by dint of the- white lolks locking
themselves up in their houses, came very
near being a failure, but still one negro was
killed poor Cullee 1 he always gets the heavy
end of his friends' pole and on this dead
be as plain as the nose on one's fao. They
have been manufactured for political effect aud
to throw dust in the eyes of the people. Ve
have heretofore exposod the garble 1 misrepre
sentations of bth Mr. Wells aud of that stu
pendous financier, Mr. Atkinson; but the Cop
perhead press has exaggerated the errors of
these gentlemen for partisan purposes. The
radical organs, on the other hand, are furious
at Mr. Delmar's exposition, and, while oarefully
abstaining from any attempt to answer it, they
endeavor to weakeu the ell'cot by satire, slang,
and personal abuse.
Now, whatever little errors Mr. Delmar may
have fallen into in his details, or whatever may
be his feelings with regrd to our radical Con
gress and the radical r arty, his statement on
the whole Is correct, and lar more reliable thau
those of Mr. Wells aud Mr. Atkiuson. He
shows by figures what we have repeatedly
Baid that the income of the Government is
falling off greatly while the expenditures are
inoi easing, and that the cash iu the Treasury
is rapidly wasting away, threatening to bring it
in the course Ot a few months to a bankrupt
condition. Nor do we think Mr. Delmar is far
from the truth in his estimate of a deficiency of
a hundred and fifty-four million of dollars at
the end of the year, June 30, 1809. Ui3 ex
hibit of the liuances was published iu the
JJcudd on Monday. It may be seen there how
he reaches this result. He takes facts for the
foundation of his arguments, and his conclu
sions, in the main, are incontrovertible. What
a deplorable state of things for the people of
this country to contemplate I Kaormously
taxed as we are, there is likely to be one hun
dred and fifty-four millions of deficiency added
to the debt at the end of the present fiscal
year. Such is the consequence or lncompej
tent and radical legislation and of the mis
management of the liuanoes by an incapable
tecretary of the Treasury. The expenditure
for the War Department and for carrying out
the reconstruction measures of Congress is
stupendous, and there is the greatest extrava
gance in everything. At the same time the
taxes that have been taken oil' in favor of a
few manufacturers, and the enormous losses
by frauds in the revenue, arising from the
deadlock between and disorganization of the
executive departments of the Government,
must leave the Treasury bankrupt unless new
taxes be imposed or a loan be made. In any
case we do not see what is to prevent the
Treasury being drained of its cash and the
debt increased. What the country wants now
is another and abler let of men in Congress
than those who have brought us to this con
dition. That is the only hope or remedy we
see, and it remains with the people to deter
mine at the approaching Congressional elec
tions whether this remedy shall be applied or
we are to go on in the same disastrous course.

"nigger," the Congress got the word to meet.
To meet secundum artem, it was requisite to
meet with a sort of aureole of loil blood about
its visage, and this aureole was thus obtained.
Word goes out from Washington to some
dirty carpet-bagging rogues in South Georgia
to get us up a first-class row instanter.
These rogues send out their runners and
gather in the blacks some with clubs, some
guns, Borne pistols. Forthwith the army
marches on a little village. Alarmed at the
apparition, the citizens send the Sheriff out
to remonstrate with these negro troops, to tell
them that armed assemblies are prohibited
by the proclamation of his Illegality the
bogus Governor, and that he (the Sheriff)
cannot permit that proclamation to be broken.
But what care we f "Our orders is come,"
as one of the negro rioters phrased it, Con
gress wants an "outrage," aud we must give
it to them. And they did. They marched in
four hundred strong, on horseback and on
foot, band playing, weapons out, and carpet
baggers in the van, with "a double-barrel
shot-gun, a Spencer rifle, and two pistols with
extra ammunition." (See Sheriffs affidavit.)
Shots were fired, blood shed, life taken, and
there was the "outrage," as per order a nioe,
fat, bloody "outrage" as so much to the
credit side of Congress when the session
began. Congress met on the 21st of Septem
ber; the "outrage" bears date the 19th prior.
Is there not something in this close connection
which shows that this Camilla business was
deliberately instigated for party purposes f
The "Rebels" of the South have everything

nothing to lose. Who, then, is the more
likely to aot the aggressor f Let the reader
carefully revolve this subject; let him oonsider
that. every "outrage" heretofore has been
profitable to that party and unprofitable to the
South, and he cannot but see where the guilt of
these things lies. Who is to profit by the
crime is one of the surest indicia whereby the
law disoovers ill-doers; and it you apply this
rule to these "outi ages," does it not teach
