-further charged against the
Reublicans that they have not kept
the Government within its income.
On the tither hand the official figures
of the Treasury show that, in no sin
gle year within the last eleven has
the Government lived beyond its in,
come. Not only have ordinary re
ceipts paid ordinary expenditures,
but in each year a paytnentliaS been
Made upon the pripcipal of the public
debt, and. in. the last eleven years
over six hundred and fifty-six - million
dollars have been paid upon it; and
in the last fiscal year, which ended
June 30, 18;6, $25,000,000 of .'debt
were paid. These are samples of
Republican keeping of the national
household. What . are the facts re-.
specting the national liousekeepint,.
during the last Administration cho
sen by the Democratic party ? if
these carping critics of us will study
themselves,they will find that - during
the fiscal years 1858. l85: i 1860, and
up to March 4, 1861, when Mr. -Bu
chanan left office, the annual expen
ses of the Government were in excess
of its annual income nearly fifty
eight million dollars, , to meet which
bonds and Treasury notes were issued
to the amon'ut, of $68425,900, and so
bad was the credit, of the United
.zitates in that time of- peace that the
!Treasury-notes were placed at a (Us
:Count uquivalent, as to part of them,
'to twelve per cent.- interest, and a
live per cent. bond of the face value
of $lOO brought only $39 10. Con
trast such facts with the other unde
niable fact that" at this moment the
Administration is engaged in calling
in six per cent. bonds, and replacing
them with four and a half per cents.;
that the money-lenders of the world
arc freely offering us their money at
those rates, and that, by the 4th of
March next, $300,000,000 of six per,'
cents. will be retired to the annual
saving, on interest account, of $4,-
500,000. Bad national.housekeeping!
During the last eleven years, not
only has, Vublie debt payment gone
on, and conversion of bonds Of a
higher into a lower rate of interest-,
with a resulting reduction of annual
interest account from $143,781,591, in
1867 to $100443,2;1 in 1876, but.
there has been, concurrently with,
thiS, a repeal of the wantaxes, until
no citizen now pays a direct tax to'
the United States, unless he con
sumes articles of foreign manufac!
ture, or holds bank stock, or drinks
spirituous or malt liquors,or indulges
in tobacco, or uses a few stamped ar
ticles. Even the income tax has been
abolished, to the relief of such tender
consciences as Gov. Tilden, who need
no longer be distracted between the
duty which they owe the laws of
their country and the "higher allegi
ance "- they may deem due to their
Democratic prejudices and interests
:Meanwhile, the number of civil:offi
cers employed has been gradually re
duced,, except as new -Post Offices
have been created ; ,, chiefly on the
frontiers, and the collection and dis
bursement of the 'public moneys have
been made with less loss than at any
tune within the lasVorty years." L,.,
A CHILD'S CONTRIBUTION . TO THE
CANVASS. ,
Wednesday evening of . last week,
as the Hayes and Wheeler companies
were parading, they were agreeably
surprised to find the lfnuse . of a life
long Democrat brilliantly illumina
ted. .0p the piazza were placed a
number of pitchers, which one 'of the
organizations, the." Molly Pitchers,"
appreciited as a neat complinient.
On inqUiring it was found that, while
the "lifedong Democrat" had not
changed hia politics, he had a little
girl, nine 'years old, an adopted
daughter, whO is as staunch a 'He
publican as he is a Democrat, and it
was in response to her entreaties that
the demonstration was made. As a
sequel to this, on Saturday, Captain
Foster .received the following letter
from the little girl enclosing a fifty
cent piece: J
"To Mollie Pllehfri:
•• I can't parade and carry a torch, but my heart
and I ockethook. are with yon. Inease.accept the
enema:4l stamp to bey powder and oil with to carry
on your good cauz.e. had I more I would give It
7111114;1y. Very kindly,'
"JENNIE 11.vrinii LlinDLEunoow."
The letter was read at the .next
meeting of the Molly Pitchers, and
met with great applause. A silver
Centennial medal was voted to the
young lady, which Captain Foster
sent her with an appropriate reply.

;EXAMINE YOtU BALLOTS.-
Every voter .should examine his
ballot before depositing it. The ene
my are unscrupulous, and will reso
to all sorts of tricks in order to com

portant that' our Congressional and

and for Senator WILLIAM T. DAVIE&
HE GOT AE ANISHEEt.
The Cleveland Leadet in a la to is
sue prints the following ,
,
While Gen, Geo. Sheridan, of
Lonisiana, was speaking Monday
night on the West Side he was
iterrupted by an adoptedleitizen with
this question: "What' iS thel matter
with -the Democratic party, any
way ? " Quick as lightning Sheri
dan turned from the line of argu
ment that he was pursuing and gave
an answer to his interrupter which
all
, who heard it. will remember as
long as they live. waS as follows:
‘`.What the matter with the
Democratic party ? I ill 'tell you
my friend. The Dernoeratic party
was born under planets that were in
opposition. -It lives in the objective
case Like a mule, "it has no pride
of ancestry, no hopes of !posterity 1 "
It never originated anything. It
shines by borrowed light.,; It has
never been joined-in honest, wedlock
to a principle, but lived Ifor years' in
open adultery with a harlot called.
Slavery; lived with heritill she died
of corruption, and was truried amid
the sobs and groans of her paramour.
hG atmosphere that sukrounds De
nicaracy is full 4:noxious vapors
that breed : moral pestilence • and
death. The sun never shrugs through
it; Vice seeks its shad?w,. and cor
ruption grows lusty under its Unholy
influence. Springs of purity are
never foutidln Democracy. 'lts wa
ters are torpid, lifeless--eovered• with
the filth and scum with-lwhich stag
nate pools and moveless watersi
ways, °trend the eyes of men. The
soil which Democracy has cultivated'
has failed to yield harvests to the
nation, but has given croirs of worth
less weeds and briars. I Democracy
has no love of country ;LbelieVes in
states instead of a nation ; drives
loyalty from its doorsluid welcomes
treason to ,its habitatioa4; holds the
deeds of our soldiers and sailors :as
naught; strives to blacken the name
of our heroes; weeps oter. the, loSt
cause ; hates the blue and loves the
gray; stabs loyalty inil the back;
binds up the wounds of 'treason and
speaks -words - of -hope and comfort
to its devotees; applauds when help
less blacks are stricken down in the
and caresseS the, hands red
with their innocents bidod ; denies
the rights of Americana citizens to
homes for • themkilves in the
So ith; justifies the- men who shoot
them down or drive them out ; De
mocracy is a curse to the land ; the
source of our bitterest'woes; the ha
ven where vice finds friends, and
crime its apologists and' defenders.
Democracy- is original 'sin let loose
to rend and destroy ; it is the spirit
of evil tilling the swine of the na
tion; the incarnation
,ofj unholiness,
the child of the devil; its home
should be in that outer darkness
where there- is weeping. ailing and
gnashing of teeth. Such, faintly
pictured, my friend, W: what- is . the
matter with the DemoCratic party."
inoliaMasj3li Ott 111 00 301
The address issued by theßepub- i
lican National Committee is in mark-j
ed contrast with the one put forth'
by the Democratic National Com
mittee. The document , written by
Mr.-ILewitt—or rather, lest iv) 'should
do him a gross injustice, let : us say
the dobument to which lijs naive was
signed—was dOuttless intended to
be ringing. It really Was redicu
lons. Anybody who read it -and
whoi was able. to put two and two to
gether so as to make four; 'Could see
that. it derived a victorious coneln

" A NEW Y I EAWS STORY."
It is the first day of the year—the
.first year of the twentieth century.
;The•scene is opposite New-York har
bor; the parties to this brief story
are a bright boy of sixteen summers
and an old gentleman of perhaps sev
enty winters. 'Their relationship i ts
discovered by their discourse, as they
walk briskly along the Jersey Heights
on aclear mid-winter frosty afternoon.
"Grandpa, tell ine more of the
history of our country which you
were reciting to' us last evening. I
am very much interested in it, and
have really been dreaming of those
eventful days of which you have
been telling me," asked the younger:
"The remembrance is not a pleris
ant one, my grandson. It is a sad
page. Would to God I could recall
my contribution to it," replied the
elder. ,
" But," rejoined the lad, " it can't
lie helped now, you know, and per
haps , the consequences could not have
been prevented." •
"Not so, my ehild ; .they could all
have been presentel To-day youi and
I Might belong to'the proudest,grand
est, greatest nation on the planet if
our people could have seen a few
years ahead ; but to-day what are we?
At thiS moment we tread upon a tor
eign soil, Which twenty years ago
was as much our country as is the
city of New-York where
,you and I
reside. But :for the politicians and
their infernal strifes, in which . they
1
grasped for. the shadow and lost the
substance, a hundred million of peo
ple would be living here to-day under
one flag and under one croVernmento"
" But," asked the " are we
not just -as well oil' as we are ?
Wouldn't it be i'great.deal of trouble
to manage so many people all under
one government ?"
".No more trouble than to manage
the -,Republic of New-York, if the
people lived. at peace with one anoth
er; but a truly difficult task, if di
vided into sectional parties.",
"Well, now come, grandpa, sit
down here behind the shelter of tese
rocks and tell me all about it. I
want you to. commence at the ,Cen
tennial Exhibition; that part - of your
story 1 shall - never tire of."
"NO, nor shall I ever tire of it,
my son ; it is the only bright spot in
the history of this,,eontinent for half
a century. But I. must go back be
yond that just a little."
!"'But I know all about Washing
ton 'and the Declaration of Inde
pendence, you know ; and the origi
nal thirteen States; and; about the
SOutlfern war and the assassination .
of President Lincoln ; and the ele6;
tion of 31r: Ilendrieks, the last Pres
ident of the United States; but I
want to Bear. what you saw
your own eyes, and then I 'shall
know it must be true."
. Well, my boy, I must go back a
few years; but only a few. The
Southern war was brough about iby
a refusal of the Southern people . to
acquiesce in the electimOf !Abraham
Lincoln."
"Oh yes, Ino that." .
" They thought Mr: Lincoln' was
elected by the Abolitionists,, and that
war. was at once to be made upon the
institution of slavery. They were
mistaken in this. 1 lived in Phila
delphia then,., and voted against Mr.
Lincoln. In-Pennsylvania many Re
publicaris voted for Mr. Liricoln sim
ply because they knew him to be op.',
posed to the doctrine of secession.
Well, the war, you know, lasted four
years. During that ; time my syma
thies were always with the North,
for I believed the .war was uncalled
ufor. I Was what was known as a War
Democrat. Your father, then a warm
hearted, het-headed youth,
,espoused
the cause of the North, served in the
ranks, behaved with great gallantry,
and left the war . a brigadier general.
He was slimily afterwards elected
to Congress, :and . re-elected, as you
know."
" Yes, poor, dear father; his was a
glorious but short career," 'sadly
spoke - the boy. •
" Well, I have to take a•share of
the blame for his early death. I re
member well when we both made our
fatal escape, It was during a visit
to the Centennial Exhibition in ,Phil
adelphia."
Now stop just here,' grandpa. I
want to hear all about the Centennial,
as you saw it with your own eyes,"

one Centennial for tbe United States .
Thank God I lived to Would
to Heaven, your children weulaliye
to see another," and as the old man
turned his eyes heavenward,: they
filled with tears, he trembled and his
story. faltered.''
"Do I distress you, grandpa? You
wept last night when you spoke of
the Centennial. Why is this?--"
"Why is it, my son ? Do you know,
that all the nations of the earth came
to Philadelphia, with theie,offerings,
to commemorate the hundredth an
niversary of our existence. Great
Britain was there congratulating her
child upon hating taken her position
alongside of her parent. France was
there, glorying in what she had done
for us in the Revolution. Germany
came and shook' hands with the thou
sands of her children who had found
a happy home here: Russia, Siiiden,
Norway, Italy, Spain, Switzerland,
even China and Japan, were there
with their treasures of nature and of
art, all -paying respect andhpmage
to the one idea, of national unity. of
the United States of America. But
to-day where is our national unity ?
These same nations +laugh at and de
ride us. Do you wonder 'that .I am
sad ? Do you not wonder that I am.
not crazed, when I realize that I
helped to disrupt.that nation ?" -
" Well, grandpa, perhaps ought
not to ask you to tell me about the
Centennial. It makes yod too sad."
"It (lees, my son. Some other
time—some other' time—yed shall
hear all; But I will go on- with t the
history since then .you want to hear,
for I am warmed up to it now,and it
will be atrelief to me to tell it." '
"Thank you, dear grandpa; I
have often longed for this opportuni
ty to hear all about it, and you prom ;
ised you would tell me on New-
Year's Day."
Well, my boy, .your !father had
served his country faithfully as a sot=
dier, and honestly in the halls of
Congress, but, he and .1 wearied •of
the eternal sectional strife which ex
isted between the North and South—
the dominant party had in its 'ranks
and among its national leaders men
who were dishonest, men who would
not step aside to mate place for
statesmen and men of culture and
integrity; a financial panic had swept
thepounter, and thousands of skilled
mechanics were without emtiloyment.
There was a demand for a change in
the administration. of public ;advs.
.The Republican party nominated for
President the Governor of Ohio; the
Democrats nominated the Governor
of New-York. One had been a Sol
dier in the Union army ; the Other a
lawyer of ability, who had ac quired
great popularity as a reformerlof po
litical abuses. • Your father and I, in
Philadelphia, iloth. resolved to vote
fur the Govern& of
,New-York. We
were told that if wodid so we would
be turning over.the Government to
the Southern people; but we replied
that any chin - ge would be wholesome,
and .if it resulted disastrously we
otould correct it at the next'election.
Alas! that opportunity never cargo.
Mr. Tilden, the Governor of New-
York', was elected President,. and
from that moment the COnfedefate
army, which had served under Lee,
and 'Johnson; and Hood, ruled the
nation, North and South. I believe'
poor Mr. Tilden did his best to avert
the natural consequences of his elec
tion, but he failed. He was an old
man, unused to the affairs of Gov
ernment; his spirit gave way, and
then he physically broke down and
died. lie was at once succeeded by
Mr. Hendricks, the Governor of In
dimianand then our real troubles
commenced. ~ The post-offices, mints,
an(i custom-houses were filled with
rebels and Northern sympathizers,
who organized a political revolution,
which they carried by fraud.aud force
until both housei, of Congress were,
in the hands of their party, and they
had re-cleated Mr. Henuricks for
four years more.r Then came a suc
cession of enactme is whit 'plunged
the nation into •n.- vency and
aroused, the passions and hatred !of
every Noftherd man •‘‘ - lio was not in
the psy of the General GovernMent.
The Supreme. Court of the United
StateS was reduced to five members,
by pensioning ofr four, and after
wards increased to nine, by appoint
ing four Southern men. The. Consti
tutional amendments abolishing sla
very and enfranchising the negro
were declared by the court :to -be null
and void. biqmuse the , Southern
States had not been permitted to
vote upon.their ratification; the offi
cers or
_the army and navYwho had
resigned in 1;861 were all restored-to
rank; the wounded relief - soldiers
were -placed upbn the pension-list;
the negro man Who committed a pet
ty crime was sentenced to servitude
at the hands of hiS prosecutor; a
loan of two thousand million of dol
lars was created to compensate the
Southern peoplelor the loss of their
slaves; the army „was 'increased to
100,000 men and Placed under com
mand of Getter -1 McClellan; Gener
alS Sherman and Sheridan (who, you
know, were brilliant Generals of the
Union army) having thrownlup their
commissions in disgust ; the old flag
was discarded / and a white one adopt-.
ed Wits stead,• typical of •a white
man's governMent; and many other
things were done, my'son, during the
eight ' years which succeeded Mr.
Tilden's election, which brought
about a condition of anarchy and
ruin.
It is ,nearly twenty years ago that'
the largest meeting I have•ever seen,
was held in Independence Square, in;
Phitadelphia, from! which a message
was bent by an indignant populace
to the Northern nip in Congress im
ploring them topermit the. Southern
States to withdraw from the Confed
eration; but
and
came hack, with
an insolent and tribmphant jeer, the
message front President Hendricks
that " the war of 1831 had established
the • inviolability of the American
Cnion ; if any man hauled down the
American flag, , 'shoot him on the

sago staggered the Northern people
for the moment, and they paused;
but when large bodies of, soldiers

Southern States and marched into
Maryland,; Pennsylvania was quicik
ly subdued and:placed under martial
law; New-Jersey was seized, and
from the spot on whicli we stand
Ned- York was shelled and forced to
acknowledge her allegiance to the
General Government. Your poor
father fell mortally wounded upon
that occasion." - ,
"And was he a rebel, grandpa f'

son, and I suppose they ,Were right,

by boy, there then followed , five - year's
of bloody war. 'ln Pennsylvania and
,1
New Jersey, in'lllinois and Indiana, ,
the elections were carried by force of
martial law—New-England still stood
firm—New-York became the battle
field ; yonder, once proud metropolis,
for two years was neutral ground,
held alternately by the North and
South—a .few years ago she boasted
of great-blacks of storehouses, insti
tutions of learning, and museums of
art; to-day she is simply the seaport
of a single State; whilst
. once she
had • a greater trade than New-Or
leans orltiehmond or Savannah have
to-day."
"Is that possible, .grandpa?. and
would she have been great as ever if
we had not separated_?";
" Yes, my son ; the greatest sea
port in the •world. But I am losing
the - thread. of 'my Story. As I said,
New-York became the battle-ground,
and for five long years more than
two millions of men had contended
for the mastery; one fighting for the
Union, as they called it; ' the -other
fighting' to be released from a slavery

Americans emigrafed to other more
peaceful climes ; tlgouSands fled to
the northern extreinity of New-Eng,

society was utterly disorganized, and
anarchy reigned supreme. It was in
the year 1886, just ten years after
the election of Mr. Tilden, that peaCe
was 'declared. And what a peace,
my son ! A peace not prompted by,
fraternity of the two people, but, dic
tated by foreign powers., The -New-
England StateS, glad to Tree them,

now an'independent nation, was then

in consequence; the. extreme West

finally broke :up into independent-
States ;, ;and New-York; `where you -
and I reside, remains another inde

" Yes, my son, easily. There was

TO A. PINE POINT.
14:ir a Buninas-Like Young Wan Weigh! the
Wales of !iis Two Sweethearts
A young man of ~ b usindss-like
habits and a calculating turn of mind,
worthy descendant of a father of like
proclivities, recently received a visit
from the author of his being. While'
they were sitting together in the
evening the old, man said : •
" Theophilus,i my son, lemme see,
you're getting well-stricken in years,
getting on to 27 next grass ;• time
you was' thinking of - marrying and
settling , down."
" W ell, father," replied the young
man, " I have given the subject con
siderable thought, and, after , mature
deliberation, have concluded to al
low my heart to beat alone for one
o: two estitiable young females of
my acquaintance."
"And who be they ",said the old
man. .
" One is the 'daughter of an ex-•
revenue official.] She is not a girl of
inexperience, but a, woman of solid
sense and mattiredl taste and judg
ment. I should say she was between,
38 and 40 slimmers, arid. she wears
worsted stockings and glasses. She
is not beautiful in the cant of the
poets, but ;'her eye:--she has only
one—beams with the intellectual
beauty of the soul, and on her slop
ing brow is stamped—'.'
I know, I know," said the old
man impatiently, ; "but has she the
stamps? " ' 1
"The author of hef , being was in
dicted for aiding to defraud the gay
erniilent of the (tax on 375,000 gal
lons."
" Then," 1- cried the •father, "she's
the girl fol. you to tie to. YoU hear
me ? . !
"But," continued the son, " there
is another, a t .trembling fawn of 17,
beautiful as - .the, 'aurora - and , fair as
the magnolia blossom of her native
South, her limpid eyes—" '
Shoot her liMpid eyes!" said the
.old man ; " how, is she fixed ? "
" Jler •paternal estate," said the
son, "was small, and.was:eompletely
devastated in 1863.by.the Union sol
diery."
" Then you have no. Inisinesi with
her," said the practical old gent. ,
. "-Pardon me,,-,Sir," said the son re
spectfully. -"The soldiers stole her
only mother's only hen, took all the
tence.rails .for fuel, carried away a
mare wile, and inflicted other out
rages too numerous to mention upon
her father's `prOperty: In fact, he
lost everything.". •
" Wall that is - only prOving my
case ? ".
" Nay, sir; stay one moment. Sup
i)ose Tilden and Hendricks should
be elected, then she could_ come. on
the country with her claim."
" But she would not get
n mtich for
a hen, a mule, and a Tail fence."
• "Ah ! ". said. the young man, " but.
I have • gone into the cAlcillation.
Suppose that lien had' laid thirty
eggs, as, at least, 'she would, and
hatched ten chickens, half of which
would have been roosters, the case
stands for 1863: 1 hen, still in stock:
5 spring chickens sold; 5 pullets
kept ; And 20 eggs sold. Look, I

have thus 1 shown you how val
uable such a claim would be proper
1y carried out. If I were to work it
down do .March 4, 1877, the figures
would go all over the paper and stick
out half way across • the table to
boot."•
-
" Why, my son," said the old man;
" that claim for that hen alone would
bust the United States: There isn't
money enough in the country to pay
for it." • .
" Then they iyill have to increase
the volume of the necessities of trade
that is all,".rejOined the young man
imperturbably. I " Besides, I expect
that legally, I Would be entitled to
charge compound interest l on the
several

to that MUle. She would hare had 1
colt in 1863—that's.2; and those two
two more in 1864—that's 4, or 6 in
all, and these 4 would have had 4
more in 1865,—;that's 8, or 10 in all,
and so on like the nails in the prob
lem about the horse's shoes."
" But, Theolihilus," 'said the- old
man, " mire mules can't—have no
colts, and. if they did half of 'em
would be Males; anyhow."
" That -Makea no difference," the
son went•on.. -uongresa,won't stop
to consider that; besides there is one
recorded case Of a hybrid breeding.,
as !to that fence. Sup
pose it was a yard•so yards square,
then 50x.4-200 ; 'call it a•iifile for

" How many ? " • •
" 50n,".1 may have
made a mistake of a few millions of

claim 'II amount to about $237,396,-
