Towanda, Pa., Thursday, April 20. 18764
ONE RAT OF HOPE.
Now that one step has been taken
in the right - direction, let Congress'
go forward in - the, good work and
pursue the plain course to honesty
and the fall payment of the floating
debt that remains unprovided for. It
should be a 'great cause for rejoicing
with every true and right-minded
person Wilds Government that we
are to be relieved of the due-bills of
less denomination than one dollar,
and no longer to be in the luirdlia
ting piisition of having government
due-bills for ten cents without pro
vision for payment. A 4?-, per cent.
bond due in fifty years would sell for
par in gold, and in any event the
floating debt should .be paid if a 5
I per cent. bond is sold ; which would
yield a direct profit of over 5 per
cent. in taxes, at the least possible
rate, on the bank that furnishes the
circulation. If the banks furnish the
circulation the taxe r s will be 15 per
cent. on the circulation, which would
leave a profit to the people of 10 - per
cent. over 5 per cent. bonds if issued
to pay the floating debt. It would
be necessary for the banks-to' have
more capital compared With the cir
culation if they were to redeem in
gold, and they now average 1 more
capital than circulation, and are
taxed on the whole %apital, and there
is no reason to fear that the banks
will have any more advantages under
the, present law than the interests of
the people demand,' as competition
will regulate that, and the people will
not be annoyed with too many banks,
and the dividends will probably be
sufficient to induce the necessary
<amount of capital to do the business
of the country
• So mucit:is said now-a-days about
asses Ling employees of the ,Govern
ment; for political purposes, and
ignorantly too, that it may not be
out of place to state that no assess
nzent as such has ever been made by
--
nri
authority of any - Re,pullican National
or other Central Com ittee. That,
of the contributions ade • by. office
-holders, over eighty*" per cent. has
always gone to. pay printers' bills
that not over- fifteen , per cent. of all
.the -Government emplOyees have ever
paid a dollar Ito any ;such fund ; and
that the name of no man I;ks i . ever
been presented for dismisSal iksense
vitence of such non-payment.
AN EXPENSIVE Li,: e xtuv.—While
the industrial interests of the nation
are'suffering for want of needed leg
islation, a Democratic House is wast-.
'ing its time in , following up .every
floating rumor that is likely to pan
out a scandal against some Republi-
Can official, who may have occupied
•sgme position under the Government
during the past fifteen years. Thus
the nation is suffering to the tune of
the_ Democrats are
trying; at the public - expense, to man- .
nfacture political" capital for the
Presidential campaign.
WE - rtAvE no sympathy with that
class of Republican journals that are
continually prognosticating evil of
the leaders of the party.' The Repub
lican.party has had some bad leaders,
but the rank and file are not long in
finding them out and retiring them.
As a rule, we kno* that our leading
Republican politicians are honest
and patriotic, and had more heed
been paid 'to their councils in the
past few years much of the corrup-.1
tion and scandal that has resulted
from improper appointments would I
have been avoided.
• DEPRECIATION OF -CREDIT.—Wie ;
nesses called to teitify before the
House investigating conimitteesbave
been 'selling their claims against the
Government; to the brokers in Wash
ington. at ten per cent. discount. If
the credit of - Uncle Sam depreciates
ten per cent. in a few months, with
only the House of Representatives
Deniocratic, how -much would it de
preciate if the entire Administration
was in the hands of Democracy? We
leave. this for the reformers - of the
Pendletonian school to cipher out.
WE HOPE that some of our timid
Republican cotemporaries who have
listened to the . insinuations of the
Democratic press :that the Republi
can delegation-to Cincinnati were to
be manipulated by the CAMERON'S.
and
. that the presentation of Rum!
RANFT is simply a trick, will note the
report of a Herald, correspondent
who recently interviewed Senator
CAMERON, and was informed by that
gentleman that he [Gen:C.] was for
HARTHANFT all the time..
DEvEtommvs now beitig made in
the House •of Representatives at
Harrisburg,43rove that the new Con
stitution hai not put an end to all
corruption is that body. 'The Booin
bill which recently passed the House.
it is charged, was carried by bribery
and the use of large amounts of mon
ey' by the lumbermen. One 'member
has testified that ex-Senator BECK-, of
Lycoming county, gave Info, $3OO.
Such is Democratic reform. fi;
THE' latest attempt to blast the
character of a public official is the
shallow, trumped-up charge against
Mr. BLAINE, to•which a western news
paper has lent itself. The motive is
so transparent that the falsehood
will fail of its purpose. Mr. Ih&INE
will - not be destroyed by accusation.
If the proof exists, out with it.
THE BELKNAP impeachment trial
was formally opened by the Senate
on Tuesday last.

THE MARTYR PRESIDENT.
ravelling of the Lincoln Statue.
WASHINGTON, April 11.—The flags
I over both the -Senate and House of
Representatives are' at half-mast to.
day, in memory Of . Lincoln. The
Procession did not pass by the Capi
tOl until nearly two o'clock, and the
cOremonies did not commence until
an hour after the appointed time (one
o'clock). There were hundreds of
persons about the Capitol to see the
procession pass, while thousands had
*ceded to Lincoln square i ,, There
was4in immense assemblage at the
Park, and the statue covered with
carii-ass was the greatest object of,,
interest, manybeinz impatient for the
unveiling. After the arrival of the
Kocession,'Professor Langtson, who
was selected by the National. Lincoln
Monument 'AssoCiation to preside,
tool; the'stand, with those who *ere
to'take part in the exercises, and the
in-Vited guests. President tirant, who
was- unexpectedly present, with a
number of his Cabinet, at the am
pointed time, unveiled the statue by
pilling' the ropes.
jhre President's appearance was
greeted with loud charm.
'-After the statue had been unveiled
a salute of 37 guns was fired.
TESCICIPTION OF THE MONUMENT.
The monument stands on a granite
pedestal, ten feet in height, is of
bronze, and colossal in size, the
statue of Lincoln being twelve feet
inSheight. The martyr President is
represented standing beside a mono
-1 lith, on which is the face of Washing
: ton in bas relief, and he holds in his
left hand the proclamation, white his
right hand is stretched over the figure
of:a - slave, to whom his eyes are
I directed. This latter figure is espeei
i ally fine. The slave 'is almost pros
trate. but apparently just about to
rise, the chain which shackled his
limbs.being sundered, and his face is
lighted up with an. expression which
indicates wonder and joy. The phys
ical development • of the Slave, his
muscles clearly defined, oives eviden
ce te hard labor. Ow th e ; base of the
monument is ",Emancipation," which
would seem superfious in view of the
story being so vividly portrayed by
the design.
The:statue was designed and exe
cuted by Thomas Ball, an American
scUlptor, residing at Florence, Italy.
The origional cost or the_montiment
was $17,600, and this sum, with the
expense of transportation, etc., have
been paid by the colored people, the
first money for the object being con
tr.linted by Charlotte, a colored wash
erwoman of Marietta, - Ohio, on the
,morning following the assassination ;
of Mr. Lincoln, ' April 14th, 1865, and
thit Contribution was followed by
other subscriptions, especialiy by the
bolliNd troops.
%fßs. STEWART has disposed of her
lateqmsband's interest in the mer
cantile business, together with a large
-
anmat.of real estate, to Judge Hilo
TOii for $1,000,000.

'Congress continues 40..drak abs slow
length along. With its numerous inie' s
tigating committees all busily engaged in
the minufacture of political capital, it
looks as ii the session would be yeolonged
well into the hot season. So busily are
they at Work in setting up the political
pints the material interests of the country
have been' disregarded and abandoned:
Instead of looking to the legislative multi
of the people and providing measures of
relief for the paralyzed industries of the
country, the entire session so far, :has
been frittered away in the hungry pursuit
of imaginary frauds and corruptions. To
tickle the imagination of the masses dur
ing the next six months with an appear.
ance of frugality and simplicity is the
one particular object now aimed at, But
earnestly as they have looked and labored
for political capital, with which to enter
into the presidential contest, so far .their
efforts have been idle and fruitless.
Hordes of witnesses all winter long have ,
swarmed around the Capitol, summoned
from every dirbction to give testimony be
fore investigation committees, but when
brought before them were fond to pos
sess no knowledge whatever of the subject
under investigation. In support of these
committees nearly a million dollars of the
public money has already been wasted, a
great part of which has been expended
upon witnesses who were glad of the op
portunity of spending a few weeks at the
Capitol while their expenses were being
so generously borne by the Government.
At no time, in the history of the country
has there been so extravagant a waste of
the public money as there is now, in these
series of idle investigations,, that Will
without question end as they began—in
smoke. To give some idea of their enor
mous cost, 'we need only to refer to the
Spencer investigation which cost-the Gov
ernment over twelve thousand dollars;
to the SchUeck investigation which cost
nearly ten thousand dollars; to the War
Department investigation which cost over
twenty thousand dollars, and to the other
investigations in the various Departments
which so far has cost over two hundred
thousand dollars. Any. number of others
might be named, but these will bo suffi
cient to show with what an immense ex
pense these investigations'are attended.
With these undeniable facts before them,
will the masses of the people justify and
sustain the Democracy in such a whole
sale expenditure of the public money ?
and for no purpuse other than -the manu
facture of political capital.
The House of Representatives, under
the rule of the Democratic majority, open
ed the session with a great flourish of
trumpets about reform in expenditures.
With reckless impetuosity they at once
began to find fault with, and cut down
the Approprirtions as regal-dies* as they
were Ignorant of the results. Instead of
"looking to the business wants of the coun
try, providing measures of public bmiefit,
and attempting the settlement of .the
great financial questions at issue, their
time has been entirely occupied with' use
less; investigations' and petty retrench.
ments, Which they are stupidly expecting
to palm off on the public as measures of
genuine reform. The great unwashed
majority of the House do not seem to
possess the ability of defining any partic
ular line of policy, or grasping at any
higher order of legislation other than the
mere making of an onslaught on the sal
aries of government employes, and , pro
posing to reduce'rhe clerical force in the
various bureaus of the - executive Depart
meets.; By mouthing about economy and
retrenchment, and prating about; the
good time coming, the public mind may
possibly be diverted for a time, but how
the languishing industries of the country
are :to be stimulated by., discharging a
few mon f eyless men and homeless women
from employment, is a kind of philosophy
that we are free to conffiss we cannot
well comprehend. If the leaders and
self-satisfied reformers of the Democrtic
party are expecting to be' restored skein
to the confidence of the people, they' will
have to give evidence of a higher legisla
tive capacity than that of reckleisly slash
ing into appropriations, bringing:- the
wheels of government to a standstill, and
then ostentatiously calling it refund and
economy. They will find that the illusion
is altogether too thin ; - and the public are
not going to be deceived by any such shal
low pretences. Week after week is al
lowed to pass away while the people are
anxiously waiting and watching, and still
no practical legislation is attempted, no'
internal improvements proposed, and no
relief from the monetary pressure enter
tained. Nothing in fact has been done
or atterepted_to be done by this precious
' set of legislators except acting the part of
' demagogues and howling themselves
hoarse about frauds and corruptions.
If something more than has been done,
is not accomplished before Congress ad
journs, it would have been just as well
for the Democracy and far less expensive
to the country, to have allowed sonie doz
en or so of their political bummers to
have "set up the pins" for the coming
political campaign.. It would have sav
ed the country an enormous expense and
relieved the
.Randall-Cox-school of re
formers and performers of the necessity
of "speaking their pieces," and para4ing
themselves before a somewhat captious
but critical public. While the public' is
both amused and amazed it would seem
from the grandilloquent manner of these
gentlemen, asif they thought that Con
gress had met fOr no purpose other than
to afford them an opportunity of forward
ing their personal ambitions, and devising
plans how the Democracy may again be
restored to power.
To the Democracy, the investigation
policy has evidently become the great an
chor of their hopes: to -which they are
clinging with a tenacity bordering on
desperation. On the slightest pretekt,
no matter how frivolous, investigations
arc ordered, and week after week rolls
away in the vain endeavor of bringing to
light some mystesious work of peculation
for which the• Administration may be held
responsible. To bring distrust in the
minds of the people, and, to fasten obli
quity upon the Administration and the
Republican party, is,
however, no more
than may be expected from the crowd of
rebel confederates that are now sitting in
judgment, and are crying aloud against
the party that stood in protection of the
Government which they So desperately
sought ao destroy.
In the proceedings of the Senate there
is but little of interest. Preparations for
the irnpeachMent of ex-secretary Belknap
are quietly going forward but without
any particular excitement or commotion.
The lachrymose Clymer has wiped away
his tears and relapsed again into silence,
and very soon the unfortpnato minister
'of War will have passed into the obscur
ity from which he was taken where he
doubtless will have plenty of time to cpn,
template and philosophise upon the de
cline and fall - of his greatness.
With slight amendments the executive
and legislative appropriations hive been .
nearly all passed by the House as they
came from the hands 'of a Committees.
Whether it be -in anticipation of the re
ductions which these bills make provision
for, or fro % sorne other cause not gener
ally knowi4 the official axe is again in
motion and quite a number of thb clerks
in the Departments are being daily de
capitated. In the Treasury by reason of
several states lievins an excess of their
quota, the work of acapitation is being
commenced and will doubtless Continue
until a proper maximum is reached.
Whoever imagines that the life of
government clerk is one continual flow of
unalloyed sweets, of "Love among the
Issas," and that he is ever "Just as , hap.
py at a big sunflower, " need only to make
the trial to have tha t beautiful illusion
-most effectually . dispelled. From the
very hoer that he enters the portals of
the ponderous piles of government gran
ite, the fear of dismissal like the sword
of Damocles, is ever suspended over his head, which, with others must eventually
find its way into the official basket, as very
few ever possess the courage to resign.
The committee of Ways and Means on
Tuesday last, finished the tariff bill.
Duripg its consideration there was a
strofig debate over the duty of tea and
coffee, and the proposition to retain it in
the bill was defeated by a cote of six to
five. The bill as reported comprehends
almeit an entire revision of the tariff. It
is'considered a sort of nondescript bill,
neither free trade nor protective. Its
adoption, which is not it all likely, it is
said, would throw some fifty thousand la
borers out of employment.
In accordance with a recent act of Con
gress the several Departments of the

the word "Emancipation." The exercis

On Tuesday evening last, the Democrats
held a caucus for the purpose of fixing the
time fot the final adjournment of the I.4g

resolution was adopted fixing May rith.
The event of the caucus was Mr. Plum

which he said Patterson had the ambition
of Napoleon and the intellect of Blind
Tom,.and many other things of a scath,

RESUMPTION AND THE GRAIH TRADE.
A Writer in-the REPORTER, who signs
his cOmmtiflication with three Stars, has.
iven; us some valuable statistics, which
- are always acceptable to the public even
when ;they di) not prove the writer's theo
ry. It has been said that "figures do nut
lie ;" ;but the history of the last;:few years
.'shows that if figures do not lie; they do
not always tell the truth.. Especially is
this the case with the figures furnished by
manylof .the grain -dealers of Chicago and
other ;great grain markets of the West,
who, when deisreus of " bearing " the
'market and buying at low' prices, haVe
practiced putting false bottoms: in their
elevate's, so that an elevator which really
contained but ten bushels appeared to
contain ten thousand, and that Seemed• to
prove their stories qf glutted markets and
overflowing granaries
. 10 be true. Then
a
they Nave always had fashion of deceiv
ing or bribing newspaper reporters, and
of influencing the editors to print just
such reports on they trader as they
desired to have published.
. ;
In reviewing the article referred•to,:we
shall reverse the usual order of proceeding
and begin. at the last end, where the writer
'says that "the accurnulation'of .wheat in
store 'at ;the present time in this country
is 16,400,000 bushels, against Igooo,ooo
same tithe last'year. These tigsires may
be correct, but they are figures furnished
by the Produce _Exchange Repoiler, and
still later reports from the same source
give the amount of wheat "in sight" at
15,000;000 bushels; same time last year
at 11,000,000. When we considerthat the
roads for the greater part of the winter
have been so muddy at the West that
farmers have not been able to draw their
grain to the railroads,' and that conse
quently the bulk of last" year's crop is still
in the farmers' hands waiting; for the
roads to become passable, we shbuld re
ceive these figures denoting' everflowing
elevators with considerable allowance.
Whenthe greater portion of last year's
crop is still in the producers' hands, it is
for the interest of
,the warehouse men to
create ; the impression that theirhins are
nearly full and but little export demand.
Farmers should obtain allsthe information'
they can about the state of the markets,
both in this country and Europe, and it is
properto read all the estimatesof , the De
partment of Agriculture iuul Of the news
paper men, but it il3 not safe to place im
plicit confidence in any of theT, or expect
infallibility from fallable • nigh. 11 A safe
rule for farmers is to sell their grain as
they hive occasion for money to pay taxes
and store bills. Of course, all are not able
to hold their crops; some must sell soon
after harvest to make payments on their
lands or pay for improvements; lint those
who are able should be the Pharaohs 'to
keep the surplus corn through the tithe of
plenty and low prices until' the time of
need. They can as well afford Ito risk
the dangers of fire, the loss of interest,
and the wastage by rats as the grain
dealer, for the shrewd dealer will 'not buy'
except at a price which leaves a wide mar
gin for profit after making due allowance
forill these contingencies.
The writer of the three stars declares
1 that this great accumulation of Vl,' 400,00
bushels orwheat in this country l' is to a
great extent, if not wholly, attribistable to
our depreciated'eurrency: The ;dickens
it is! We had always supposed that Great
Britain, our chief Customer, - paid us for
our wheat in gold, or inanufacturqd goods
at gold prices, and that she never asked
us whether our paper money wasiat par,
but whether our. wheat was good. Her
ships visit all parts of the world, andthey
buy wheat where they can buy the cheap
est and pay good money, whether' the
seller uses iron money, brass modey,' pa
per money, or no money at all. Otis iarm
ers can have the grain trade of Great
• Britain If they will undersell Ruskia and
Australia, but never without. Weti weatli
er last harvest mayluive injured the:qual
ity of our wheat, but it was not dittnaged
ono iota by a depreciated currency: The
author of the three stars would bele 'good
witness for Clymer's investigating com
mittee. He says, "It is much inside of
the amount to say that $200,000,W hate
been wasted [by the government] lin* the
last few years; and the Svorld stiexists.
Well, yes; the world still exists, and is
li
likely to survive until the axletre wears
out, or the. general ;
but it will be found that it what
conflagratiot ; takes
place s
the nation has saved, and not wha it has
wasted, that will assist us on the day of
resumption. He says, "If t 400,000,000.
Of the piblic debt were paid off is good,.
reliable securities, it is difficult to see*
where it would injure any of the interests
of this or othercountries.." Paying, debts
when we have the money, to do it with is
always in order, and governments and iti
flividuals.can engage in no more profitable
business than paying their debts as fast
as they are able. Our government . has
been doing this very thing ever since the
clossof.the war, and is at it still. Besides
paying the interest, about one-third of
the principal of the national debt hr been
paid and canceled ; and had not t e bard
times come on, which diminished the
revenues, the process of extinguishment
would have been greatly accelerated. Pay
ing a debt with money we can untie tand,
but paying in "good, reliable secu 'ties,"
as suggested y our friend of t thre
18 no yni

Our friend will hardly be' e toeion
vbee fanners that the moment drit in
the graht trade is owing to
. a depted
currency. They can remember obtabbg

.=
We are all in favor of resumption:if it
can be secured without ineurrineeirils
harder to be borne than those resulting
from.the present suspension of spechl PaY•
meats. A. thing may be valnable e : and
yet It is possible to purchase itat toohigh
a price. If we resume specie payments
in 1879, the time fixed by Congress," it
will be full as soon as the country can be
prepared for it. CASTIIII4.
