Our National Finances:
Not a few pens are now employed in for
retting out a plan by which . in 'early re
aumptiOri Specie''payinent may be had.
Truly such a consummation would be a
proud one, hailed with inespressable joy
by the entire people. In the way.of re
sumption we find many obstacles, not the
least of which is the enormous debt of the
country and tbe',extent of _the obligations
of the National Treasury. It is useless to
recapitulate 'the causes of this debt and
obligation. The important step is to rem
edy the evil. .how shall this be done?
In answer to this question we find the
talent•of the country employed, and sev-
suggested. The New York
Tribune says increase the revenue, by
every consistent means, and apply every
dime to" the buying and destruction of na
tional Bond's." , We do not endoise such a
dangerous .course: Let such a, theory
be promulgated abroad add our 'credit at
once deprEbiates - andour pledges come iu
doubt. Tho'TriLuite , aleo ihvors resdmp-'
tion, and argucs,an eultauceuteut.of na
tional oredii•to secure that end:: It two
ideas seem to conflict.' •to' differ
Tribune, alniOst in,totp, believing
that our revenue, cannot now be consist
ently-increased; and that •the burden Of
taxation air Sufficiently enormous
to e:ifl 4 fo4 the
,objec,tiiin of
.the people.
An increase of taxation would speedily re•
plenish the treasury;' but would it advance
public faith 'or inure" to the 'satisfaction
of the governed? Pfd not the resent
election 'pronounce against increased tax
ation, and did riot Congress, by its reduc-
tion ofrevenue make a precedent to Moot
public demand.', And did not the Tri-
lnine throughout the recent campaign
spend its energies in 'opposing the New
Yorklphitteitn, and especially itn taxation
plunk? , We think the cane is plain, and
that no necessity:exists for increased rev
mine, unless it- isito: feed .. politieal thieves
and toereate-dissensieu-zameng the; peg-
ple. The" ilmtraction of government
bondswould
not:'enhance their 'value,
unlesscle;trziCtion means to create rather
than destroy;eor.: are, , tbe people ready
for an increased tax in order to try such a
doubtful experireent.: "
The .idca:to'i.!s, Most feasible, is the one
simply looking to an enhancement of the
National credit. The Nation has• issued
bonds,,These bonds are payable in gold,
and the nearer they can, be made to ap
proximate the _value of gold, the nearer
we are to a-resumption of specie payment.
Individual cotupaiiies and associations, by
economy of,sciverninent make their obli
gations valuable—so can a nation. The
extravagant administration of the nation's
affair; with the encouragement of fraud
":and The reekless expenditure of finances
in its several branches, has done a large
work toward a depreciation of its credit
These prtictices must be overcome or the
nation's honor will, suffer. Rigid econ-
may in every department must be adopted
and sustained; the nation must be made,
by honest industry, a financial power;
and every distrustful and dissenting t•oiee
must be won to a belief in the sincerity
and ability of our' law-givers. Every
bond must he made valuable, and there is
a way ppeu..to• , those who hold them..
Value your own" goods, and others will
crave them: =fa - jib — of beOholders
will increase the faith:of othe.people, and
as public faith- and' trust' noes forward,
every papa: dollar is' enhanced, and day
by day we increase in wealth and impor
tance. But some will inquire how is such
a course to bring resumption? It will 'do
it in this. wise : it 'will destroy the, dis-,
tinction between gold and bonds, and the
territory of the people; which is the gov
ernment' estate ) will be' accepted as se
curity, while economy of administration
which does not mean a continued acquisi
ti3n of•such property as Alaska, will liqui
date every dollar of indebtedn'ess' and
bring back the "wood old daYs'of yore."

The President's l'itessaget
On Wednesday last the final message
of Andrew Johnson was laid before • the
world. It contains no feature to emit
mend it as :of public, interest, hence we
pass it by as being in length, a tax upon
public patience, and in importance and
character, unworthy our columns.. We
notice, however, a few of its points.
Johnson first sets out with his usual
opposition to Congress, and but evidences
.Editor
his weakness in again butting against
public seutiment. Cougiess, is of the
people, anti the recent elections have pro
nounced in favor of loyalty and freedom
as a basis of reconstruction. Johnson can
not, it appears, understand his own insig
nificance, and even since being repudiated
in turn by all parties, he clings tenacious
ly and ignorantly in opposition to the
voice of the people, and still urges an
utter disregard of the popular will, that
his own petty prejudices may prevail.
In reference to National finances he
is eomparatively•silent•, though he loses
no opportudity in visiting his imperti
nent abuse upon Congress as being the
cause of the burden of debt, and such
other , depressions as may exist. In this
he entirely forgets the part that he has
played in this great work. He overlooks
the feet that his agents are 'robbers of the
treasury,•and that he hituself is di.burs-
ing agent for every form of high-handed,
outrage—the father of corruption. He
overlooks his opposition to every means
looking to a pacification of the nation's af
fairs, and to economy in government.' His
position on this iluestictn only begs further
•detestation from all intcilligen t' minds.
Lastly, he .feigns s consideration of our
foreign relations, - and absorbs no 'little
time in his reference:to subjects of nOirti
portance, while he leave.s the settlement
of the 'Alabama claims, which is of great
and peculiar interest, without a word of
notice. There is no allusion 'to the con
duct of Ileverdy Johnson, 'as minister to
England, nor to other matters that eplist
public care.
In all, Mr. Johnson, yoUr message is
the last, mid we may add, perhaps, the
least. • • Your official days are drawing to
a'elose, and may you return to Tennesee,
and prove •"
all right on the goose ques
tion," fur you have been all wrong on
every other. Good-bye!
Present Condition of Maryland.
The petition or the people of Maryland
to Congress to grant them a republican
form of government sets forth several cu
rious anomalies in the present Constitu
tion of that State, whose adoption in 1867
was one of the last triune is of the Lost
Cause. The Rebel voters of the State,
though excluded from voting iby the Con
stitution previously in force, were permit
ted to vote on the question of the adoption
or rejection of this•ncw. Constitution. In
defiance- of the then existing . law,.. they
were permitted to effect the adoption of a
Constitution whereby thatlaw was annull
ed and repealed. The 40,000 colored male
adult citizens of the State were, of course,
excluded from voting on the same ques-,
tion. The representation in the . Legisla-*
ture being based ou population, and not
on the number of voters, the whites in ef
fect cast the votes which of right belonged
to the blacks. Fifteen counties of 500,t1 7
, :ern Maryland, where there is a largeli:ol
ored population, with only one-fourth of
the voters of the State, have three-fifths
of the Senate, or fifteen Senators. North
ern Maryland, with three-fourths or the
white population, has but two-fifths or ten
Senators. Thirty-eight thousand five
hundred and sixty-four whites are requir
ed to elect a Senator in Northern Maryland,
while in Southern Maryland only 8,685
are required. - In Northern Maryland
7,416 whites elect a delegate; in the
Southern section 8,618 suffice. One white
'man in 'Charles County is equal to ten
white men ih Frederick or Baltimore'
Counties in the choice 'of Senators. The
Constitution eau only be amended at pres
ent on the petition of three-fifths of the
' members of both houses. It provides for a
convention. in the year ISS7. Such au
amendment to . the Constitution of the
United States aslwould annul all provisions
in State Constitutions or laws which with
' hold the right of . suffrage from adhlt . ntale
citizens in any State, is just what Mary
land needs: This would give her a tepub-
Henn, form of government. ' •

meet vms the most -important -branch of
our Government; and the Secretary of
War the most important public officer
under the President. RUC now the cen
ter of importance bas transferred itself to
the Treasury Department. GRANT'S ad

management of- the Treasury, and the
Seeretary.pf the Treasury, is by far the
most-important officer, to be t.gelcutcd by

It is pleasing, therefore, to refer to the
fact, that one of General Grant's chief ex

We arc heartily of Simob Cameron's faith,
that." there must be,• somewhere, in the
country-the ability to manage our finan

skill to command our armies." - We found
that through many blunders. We have
already blundered many times in our se

that . Grant will find the right man at
last.

This Company, - National in Its character,
offers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates
of Premium and New Tables, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the
public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced
are made as favorable to the insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes. Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the
latter are so apt to cause the Polley-Iloiders.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN
COME-PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN
PREMIUM POLICY. In the former, the policy
holder not only secure a life insurance, payable
at death, but will receive, if living, after a
period of a few years an annual income equal to ten
per cent. (10 per Cent.) of the par of his policy. In the
latter, tile Company agree to return to the assurod
the total amount of money he has paid in, in addition i
Cne gamma of Lis ye/id!).
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or hicreatsing the amount of in

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy
end effectual for preserving the hair. FADED
OR GRAY HAIR IS SOON RESTORED TO ITS ORI
GINAL COLOR AND THE GLOSS AND FUESIINESS
YOUTU. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
Is checked, and baldness often, though not al
ways, cured by its use. :Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the
glands atrophied and decayed. But such as re
main can be saved for usefulness by this appli
cation. Instead of foaling the hair with a palsy
sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair from turn
in gray or falling oti,and consequently prevent
baldness. Free from those 'deleterious sub
stances which make some preparations danger
ous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor am only
benefit but not harm It.. If wanted merely for
HAIR I)IIESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Con
taining neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white

it a rich glossy lustre and a gratelul perfume.

SANTA CLAUS ---
Ladies and Gentlemen, and the dear Chil
dren, Greeting:
My worthy and faithful agent, WM. U.
HESS, to you well known, having dis
charged his trust iu a most faithful and
satisfactory manlier in the first season of
'his tippoin tment, I have, "therefore, with an
eye to your interest, reappointed the said
HESS, Disbursing Agent for the coining
Holidays, believing he will, in the most
liberal manner, deal out the best collec
tion of Gifts I have to him eutrusted for
the benefit of you, my dear patrons.
,Ever faithful, yours,
SANTA CLAUS.
HESS TO HIS PATRONS
Our Patron Saint, the noble and venera-
blu Santa Claus, luivhig again appointed
me, your bumble servant, his agent for dis
bursing to you, the good people of Colum
bia and vicinity, from his vast collection of
Gifts, gathered from Faderland, the Celes
tials, from sunny France, from the depths
of the Ocean, and from the clear nutmeg
State. I have accepted the trust out of
pure love for the dear people, who would
find it hard to be turned from the behten
path to the Storehouse of your unworthy
servant; and have opened the campaign,
cleared the decks for action, double shot-
Led the guns, and put sabres and boarding
pikes in place. My venerable old Dutch
master, Santa Clans, has entrusted me with
a most bountiful supply of Noveities for
the approaching Holidays. Never was
there seen such a Museum of curiosities in
Columbia us are gathered together in this
Great Variety Store.
The man of Wooly Horse, Mermaid, and
" What is it" notoriety, or any other man
bearing the name, never exhibited such a
wonderful assortment of—everything. The
stubborn donkey, who shakes his head an
grily at the spectator; the innocent Lamb,
that bleats his complaints ; the Magic Lan
tern ; the noble Horse, saddled and bridled
for his new master; the train of cars, ready
to take upon an excursion the Lilliputians
standing sear ; the Hook and Ladder
Wagon, and Steam Fire Engine, ready for
the "baileys!' to ‘- 1 run wid dee Machine
the little Horns, Trumpets, Books and Tea
Sets for the little 'misses ; the Guns and
Drums for the "bold soger boy ;" the Drays
for the young draymen; the sets of Dishes
in wood, pewter and China, for the little
dears' first "tea-fight;" tlfe old Codger, eat
ing ducks at one swallow; the Cannibal,
eating soldiers as thst as they can be
chucked into his mouth ;
there, it is no use to enumerate. Paper is
too dear, and the columns of the news-
paper too short, to contain a full list of the
immense number of novelties. Suffice it to
say, that we will astonish you when you
call (and we know you that have u good,
big heart u;itt)to see them. We have presents
for ladies, presents for gentlemen, presents
for misses, presents for boys, and presents
for the dear little children. Men who wish
to make the heart of their bosom compan
ion glad, wives who wish to reciprocate the
mark of affection, parents who want to re
pay the good deeds of dutiful' and affection
ate children, and children who wish to
honor their parents, lovers who wish to
give to their idol, masters to their servants
and servants to their masters, can find at
Hess' just what they want—the most appro
priate gift they could purchase. So go in
and win. Something new received almost
daily.
Farmers; lords of the soil, you have had
a most prosperous season. A kind Provi
dence has most graciously smiled upon
you, and your granaries are groaning with
the weight of a bountiful harvest. Your
families are es pecting,—md justly too—that
you will, in the approaching Holidays open
your heart and wallet. Lawyers, you, too,
have had a good practice. Your clients
have been many, and you have eaten the
oyster, they have had the shell. Open thou
thy purse liberally. Doctors, the God of
Esculapius has smiled upon you, and both
large doses and the little pill has cast up
into your pockets a copious discharge of
greenbacks. Remember the expectations
of your friends, and purge your purse of its
overloaded stamps. Artizens, you, too,
have been highly favored. Your skill has
been liberally rewarded, and your loved
ones expect much from you; disappoint
them not, but go to Hess and there make
your holiday purchases without delay.
