The Democratic Parly ami the National
Debt.
From the N. Y. Timei.
The ease with which the Financial Minister
of France recently raised a large sum at a low
rate of interest, and the fact that the offers far
exceeded the amount required, furninh a text
for Democratlo disquisitions on the cost In
curred by our Government for similar accom
modation. If a despotic government in Ku
rope, which may any day be shaken by a
rovolutionary outbreak, may obtain all the
money it needs on the most favorable terms,
Why may not the United States Government
do the fame 1 This ia the form into which the
question is thrown, and the answer is inva
riably adverse to the credit and interests of
ths country.
Now, it is this system of warfare which Is,
in no f mall degree, the cause of the dilllunlties
that impede the reduction in the interest on
our national securities. There is no valid
reason why, within a comparatively brief
period after the resumption of specie pay
ments, our Government may not expect to
negotiate a five per cent, loan, to take the
place of the six per cent, bonds at present in
the market. The resources of the country,
its marvellous growth, and the greatness of
its future are all in its favor. No .national
debt in the world rests upon a foundation so
solid as ours, estimating it simply in relation
to the paying capacity of the Republic as
compared with that of any Old World mon
archy. On the other hand, no government
in Europe is exposed to the systematic de
traction and enmity which meet ours at every
turn.
The French Government, for example, has
its opponents, able and energetic. Its finan
cial management is the theme of searching
criticism. Its enormous expenditures are
analyzed continually, and in a spirit unfavor
able to the judgment of its functionaries.
There, however, the opposition rests. While
assailing the Government, it sacredly respects
the public credit. Repudiation is neither ad
vocated nor predicted. The Government
faith is not assailed, nor is doubt cast npon
the value of its securities. The opponents of
Napoleon do not try to make partisan capital
at the expense of the honor and welfare of the
nation.
Our opposition pursues a widely different
course. During the war the Democrats did
all that was possible to impair confidence in
the credit of the Government, and they have
Steadfastly adhered to the game policy since.
They contributed more than all else to the
embarrassments which beset the Government.
They assailed its currency and its bonds.
They impugned the constitutionality of action
from which, the national credit could not be
separated. The depreciation of greenbacks,
and the consequent dearness of the loans,
were in good part the result of the Democratic
opposition, conducted as it was in the interest
of the Rebellion, and in hostility to tke finan
cial measures which, its exigencies necessi
tated. Nor have these tactics been changed.
They appeared in the l'residential election,
when the party openly identified itself with
repudiation. Politicians who contributed to
our financial difficulties have, therefore, no
right to complain of a high rate of interest or
of other burdens borne by the Government.
They exerted themselves to render more favo
rable loans impossible, as they now exert them
selves to prevent the substitution of easier
terms.
Mr. McCulloch'8 attempt to discredit the
greenbacks at the very time when the consti
tutionality of their issue engages the attention
of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Johnson's
appeal to the fears of the bondholders as a
set-off to the policy marked out for the Repub
lican party by the recent election, are circum
stances which have no intelligible meaning
except as moves in the Democratic game.
The country has declared that the contract en
tered into Willi its creditors shall .be fulfilled
according to its spirit, and has assigned to
Congress the duty of perfecting measures
which depend for their efficacy upon the
creditors themselves. To accomplish, this pur
pose, it is essential that the last lingering sus
picions be dispelled, and that the credit of the
Government be establibhed at home and
abroad. The Democrats, however, desire to
frustrate this policy, if possible, and the Presi
dent and Lis Secretary of the Treasury, each
in his way, come forward to help them.
And the Democratic journals indorse their
efforts, not, iudeed, "without some qualifica
tions, and perhaps some exceptions, but
generally in a manner that indicates how well
the thing is understood. While sometimes
deprecating Mr. McCulloch's attack upon the
greenbacks, they are agreed that his opinions
are correct; and while confessing that the
President's proposition amounts to "repudia
tion, pure and simple," they uniformly sug
gest that it is no worse than the Republican
policy of funding ! The obvious falsity of the
latter assertion renders it harmless, but the
spirit that prompts it is evidence of the close
relationship that still exists between the
organs of Democratic opinion and the scheme
of robbery of w hich Mr. Johnson is the latest
disciple.
W e jupgest, then, that the Democrats with
hold their crocodile tears when the heavy ex
penditure en account of interest is mentioned,
and that before complaining (Tf Republican
management of the debt, they abandon the
intrigues with which they now assail the na
tion's credit.
The TiraMiry Under General Uraut.
Vom the A'. Y. Tribune,
The lion. Klihu Washburne has been for
the last fourteen years a leading Representa
tive in Congress iroai Illinois, is a resident of
Galtua, and an intimate personal friend of
General Grant. Certain enterprising purvey
ors of news in Washington, putting these
facts together, have concluded that Mr. Wash
burne will probably be called to the head of
the Treasury Department which may be a
good guess, and may not. We hazard little
in saying that no one knows anything in the
premises but General Grant, who is ia no
Lurry to share bis knowledge with others.
The World Beiees the opportunity to assail
Mr. washburne as "a man of narrow mind.
and of no administrative experience, "and to
insinuate mat ne is to be appointed to the
.treasury as a reward for his ''personal devo
tion to General Grant." Saoh asuersions de
serve no answer, lhit the World proceeds to
discourse in this vein:
"A man of great vliior and canaoltv at the
bead of the Treasury Departmeut, one wni
bhould exirlcafe t ur fluaucea from their prj
eent lamentable oudltlon, and t on a lar ;e
scale a woi k like that accompllNheJ by Hamil
ton, at the beuluutnir of the Government. would
be enrolled by the country among 1U greatest
benefactors. Ue would be the likeliest un.l
xnobt deserving cunrldate fr the plt.ee to whloli
ucnerai uraui una now been elected "
If the World were as desirous of retrench
ment and economy in the public service as it
pretends to be whenever it can Lodb to make
patty capital by doing so, it would recognize
and honor the determined, vigorous, uuweary
iug resistance which Mr. Washburne for years
has offered to every attempt to deplete the I
Treasury for private ends, or even for publlo I
objeots which, however commendable, must be

lion, li mere ue auy uinu iu au iu lauu nuu,
more than any other, has been vigilant and
efficient in repelling raids on the Treasury,
tbat man is Klihu H. Washburne.
Hut we Lad intended rather to demur to the
World's suggestion that "great vigor and
capacity at the head of the Treasury Depart
ment" are required to "extricate our finances
from their prenent lamentable condition." The
qualities eminently needed in that post are
stern integrity and wise frugality. Financial
genius is a drug in the market we are sur
feited with it. Our waste-basket overflows
daily with projects for paying oil the national
debt without taxing any one, or for makiug
the country rich beyond the wildest dreams of
avarice by doubling its "amount and never pay
ing It. You may scare up on any curb-stone
in Wall street a lame duck who wants to sell
for a million or sj a plan no, "scheme" is
the word for making everybody great, glori
ous, and happy, through some mysterious
wave of the magic wand of finance. Yet no
one would think of giviag over ten cents for
otr "scheme," simply because it is so old
fashioned, so downright, and makes no drafts
whatever on the imagination. Its outlines are
as follows:
1. Collect more revenue and ppend a gsod
deal less. Employ the surplus, so fast aa
realized, in paying oil debt.
2. Rnild fewer gaudy opera-houses iu cities
out of the profits of illicit distilling, and vastly
many more cabins on Western prairies and in
Southern lorests as homes for pioneers, strug
gling to become independent, thrifty farmers.
d. import lewer thousand-dollar Oashmere
shawls and lace veils, and put more American
furnaces Into blast, set more factory-wheels
turning, and make at home half the metals,
wares, and labncs we now buy abroad.
4. Starve out the mob of su peril nous traders,
brokers, and speculators who now infest our
cities, and vastly increase the number who
earn an honest, useful livelihood by herding
cattle and growing corn.
Of course, tins Is a sorry "scheme," when
compared with the far more brilliant counter
part which any of the lame ducks can draw
from either (not otherwise plethoric) pocket
on call; tor we make no pretensions to finan
cial genius, How it may be with Mr. ash
burne we cannot say; but, if we were assured
that he had no scintilla of confidence in his
own genius as a financier, no panacea for our
financial Ills but the old fogy plan or earning
more and spending less, we should hear of his
appointment to the head of the Treasury with
unalloyed satisiaction.
(Jreeley and lionet.
lYom the r. World.
We are not of those who seem to find some
thing comical in the notion that Mr. Greeley
shouid be sent as our Minister to Great Britain.
We own, indeed, that it sui prises ns Mr.
Greeley should be willing to accept such a
position. But, alter the subsidence of Mr
Oakey Hall into the cast-oil municipal shoes
of Governor Uoffman, and the appearance of
Mr. Charles A. Dana in the character or an
ajplieant for the succession of St. Matthew
and Mr. Mnythe at the "receipt of customs,"
what could we expect ? When Mr. Greeley
made friends with the "blockheads" of the
Union League, and for a political considera
tion became a fugleman of "pipe-layers," we
began to fear tlat the unique editor wa3 reaqy
about to eollapse into au average envoy. The
catastrophe, we understand, was consummated
over a bottle of blue seal and a couple of
Upmann's ne ;. ultra cigar3 at Delmonico s.
And so, the thing being done, and Mr. Ureeley,
like Baikis, "being willin'," who can tell
where a better or a more littiDg representative
of the radical party and of a radical President
can be found t
Mr. Greeley going to England at this mo
ment as the envoy of American radicalism is
just as much and just as exactly the right
man in the right place as was citizen Uenet
coming to America in 17'J3 as the envoy of
French Jacobinism. A curious historical
parallel might be drawn between the two mis
sions and the two men. Genet came from
France to America at the moment when we
were passing through the critical first stages
of a great political experiment in the change
from the Confederation to the Union. (Jreeley
will go from America to England at the
moment when England is passing through the
critical first stages of a great political experi
ment under the new Keform bill. Genet be
longed heart and soul to a party in France
which worshipped Reason and Humanity
(both with capital letters), and which insisted
upon the most complete r raternity among men,
on pain of instant death to every Man who did
not instantly become a Brother also. Greeley
belongs to a party in America which worships
Freedom and Progress (both with capital let
ters), and which insists that all men, black
and white, shall be equal, on pain 01 disfran
chisement to the whiles. Genet looked upon
American politics a3 a mere tender to French
politics. Greeley looks upon British politics
as a mere tender to American politics. The
enemies of man hated Genet. Likewise, the
enemies of man hate Greeley. Genet had no
sooner landed at Charleston, April 8, 17U3,
than he immediately proclaimed himself a
Tribune of the American people in the name of
humanity, began to issue letters of marque
against the "euiiuie3 ot mankind, and called
upon the citizens of Carolina to expel
all sympathizers with the reac in and with
oppression from their Slate. Greeley, we
Lave no doubt, if Le be appointed on the 4th
of March, 10'.), will make his appearance
long before the 8ih of April, say at Coikor
Dublin, proclaim himself a tribune (which
everybody knows he is) and procotsul ot Ire
land in the name of universal justice, issue
letters of marque against the commerce of
Liverpool (which is the Lome of that mon
s'er, Laird, of the Alabama), and call upon
tL"e people of the United Kingdom to expel all
sympathizers with Toryism and the Constitu
tion. Genet, trampling on the puuy letters of
diplomatic red-tape, spoke hi-i mind freely
about the miserable conservatives who, at the
capital of the Union atd elsewhere, threw
themselves blindly athwart the path of the
new era. He boldly denounced Washington
as a would-be libertioiuV," who was aping
the ambition and deserved the doom of the
"01 nstitutional King of France," and he fear
lessly exposed him to the contempt of Ame
rica and of mankind as "the plaything of an
English monarchical clique, without root in
the country and without iulluence upon public
opinion."
Greeley, we may 1 sure, will not be less
candid in dealing with British functionaries
and the minions of an effete aristocracy. Ue
will tell that most dazed and drowsy of diplo
matic smokers, Lord Clarendon, to his face,
that tobacco has softened his brain and hard
er ed his heart. He will not hesitate to de
nounce Gladstone, on the slightest provoca
tion, as a timid and scholastic trimmer; while
the utmost "mercy that Disraeli can expect
from Lira will be a reproduction of Grant's
famous Order No. 11, expelling all Jews with
their families from the realm within twenty
four Lours. Believing, with Barton, that the
drinking of beer led directly to the British re
cognition of the Southern Rebels as bellige
rents, he will demand the passage of uu act of
Putliiment making it felony to drink beer,
and death without benefit, of clergy to brew '
beer, before he will consent to open negotia
tions on any subject with Ler.Majesty's Minis
Genet, of course, was misunderstood, mis
represented, and maligned by the fools aud
scoundrels whom he regarded it as his high
and holy mission to scourge out of America.
Jefferson wrote to Madison that he thought
"Genet's appointment the' most calamitous
ever made," and described him as "hot
headed, all imagination, no Judgment, pas
sionate, digrespectfnl, aud even indecent to
wards the President." Have not Copper
Leads and people of that kind used just such
langaage as this about ureeley at home, and
can we doubt that he will be in like terms
reviled abroad by those timid creatures mis
called statesmen, in whom education has
emasculated the intellect and the religion of
routine rusted out the elastic springs of the
conscience and the sonlf Bat what's the
odds? The career of Genet as the Apostle
of Jacobinism in America was inter
rupted by a variety of unfortunate
circumstances. The defection of General
Dnmonriez, the defeat of the revolutionary
army at Neerwlndeu, the long series of re
verses which followed, culminating In the sur
render of Valenciennes to the Duke of York,
the unpleasantness which resulted from the
attempt of the Friends of Humanity iu France
to clothe "Trench citizens of African descent"
in Hayti with political privileges all these
things shook the faith of a fickle populace,
and Citizen Genet subsided from the public
eye into the calm of connubial life. We do
not chose to anticipate a like termination to
the efforts of Greeley as the evangelist of Eng
land, nor will we dwell even for a moment
upon so gloomy a possibility. By all meaus
let the radicals send!him abroad. Whatever
mischief Reverdy Johnson fhay have done,
Horace Greeley is the man of men promptly
to undo. The Radicals hold that Mr. Johu-
son has eaten more dinners with decent people
than he ought to have eaten. Not even
the Lord Mayor, we venture to Bay. will at
tempt to dine Mr. Greeley twice. Mr. John
eon, they tell us, has degraded" the Republio
by "shaking hands" with Mr. Laird. We
should like to see Mr. Laird or any other such
man shaking hands with Horace Greeley !
Freedom Bhrieked, they assure us, when
Reverdy Johnson called Mr. Roebuck his
"friend" over the knives and forks of the
Sheffield cutlers. Freedom will wipe her
weeping eyes if over the Sheffield cutlers give
Horace Greeley a chance at their "dog-Tear-em
1" Mr. Johnsou publicly drinks wine,
aud treats bloated aristocrats to Baltimore
Madeira. Horace Greeley does not know
"Habtrsham" or "Harriet" from Newark
cider. Mr. Johnson, having been derived his
diplomatic small-clothes by act cf Congress,
goes about in that simple evening dress of the
period which confounds the per with the
parson, and both with respectable upper
servants out of livery. Horace (Jreeley will
be a uniform unto himself. Breezy, unbut
toned, and buoolio, he will make for his emi
nent trousers and his indomitable boots a
place in history with the brown suit of Frank
lin aud the threadbare blue coat of Frederic
the Great. Finally, it is a strength to diplo
mats as it is to other impostors to stand well
with the fair sex. Metternich and Mahomet
thus alike prevailed. Kannitz ruled Austria
by his smile aud his peruke. Schwartzenberg
boasted that he had a rose-pink little ear
listening at the key-hole of every Cabinet in
Europe. Franklin himself kindled the sym
pathies of France with America into a blaze,
less by the bolts he snatched from heaven
than by the sparks he drew from lovely eyes
at Versailles and in the Tnileries. Whatever
else may be said for or against Mr. Greeley,
it cannot be denied that he is thoroughly a
ladies' man. If we are to believe his auto
biography, he is as fond of dancing as Reverdy
Johnson is of dinners. Is there another radi
cal in all the land of whom as much can be
said i
Hannibal Hamlin.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
Advices from Maine indicate a very general
desire that vice-l'resident llamlin should be
returned to the Senate for six years from the
4th of March next. This is a matter which
pertains more directly to the Legislature and
people of Maine, who will doubtless deal with
't as is ut. But, whether in the Senate or else
where, Mr. Hamlin's return to the public ser
vice would gratify many thousands throughout
the country, who know nothing of his views
or wishes, but who profoundly feel that it was
a dark day for the Republic when a convention
largely composed of or inspired by office
holders and contractors decreed his displace
ment as Vice-President to make room for
Andrew Johnson, and who would like to see
some reparation made for that grave error.
Mr. Uamlin held the most desirable post in
New England that of Collector for the port of
isoston when Andrew Johnson commenced
those antics which have rendered his name
unsavory; he might have held his peace and
his place, as many office-holding Republicans
did; but that was not his way. He resigned
his office and took the stump for liberty and
loyalty, and ha3 done yeoman service in the
lanks ever since. Having filled every post iu
the gift of his fellow-citizens from Representa
tive in the Legislature up to Vice-President,
Mr. Hamlin, no longer young, may be averse
to further labor and responsibility; but his
integrity, his fidelity, his experience, aud his
well-earned popularity render it highly pro
bable that he may be invited to fill eome im
portant post in the publio service; and if so,
we trti3t that he may not decline.
The Late Elections in Hreat I'ritaln A
Oii'o r Characteristics.
From the iV. Y. Herald.
Now that the elections in Great Britain are
over and the results are before us there are
some characteristics which are entitled to pass
ing notice. Notably aintmg these there are two.
The. one is that, although Mr. Disraeli was In
strumental in passing a very substantial mea
sure of reform a measure which at first
seemed to threaten a complete revolution of
the constituencies, and, through the constitu
encies, of the House of Commons the repre
sentatives of the people are in no sense differ
ent to what tli9y would have been If no Reform
bill bad been passed. There have been, from
Beales to Bradlougb, somewhere about a dozen
workirgmen's candidates: but, strange to say,
not a single workingman's candidate, pure and
simple, has been successful at the polls. How
is this 't What does it mean 1 We can explain
it on no other principle than this that werk
legmen have no faith in demagogues. It is a
curious fact that in spite of the loud cry which
the working classes in all countries raise for
reform, they are the most conservative of the
population. Not only have all the working
men's candidates been rejected, but Mr. Bright,
of the three Birmingham members, polled the
smallest number of votes, and Mr. Gladstone
was defeated in his self-chosen section of Lan
cashire. On one oocasion New York State
tried a workingmen's candidate, but the fel
low proved so egregious a failure that the ex
periment has never since been repeated. It Is
well that demagogism should be at a dis
count. The other characteristic is rowdyism.
Rlets have been common in the neighborhoods
of the polls all over Lancashire. They have
occurred in other parts of England. They
have keen not uncommon in Ireland, and
even canny Scotland has had to witness some
uisgreeabie scenes. hat a oontrasi is tons
presented to repnblicau America 1 Great
Britain has no ohoice now but to accept the
ballot-box.
