IT 18.0rinciewor REPORTED that the
National Debt was diminahed last month
1/ the sum of $7,467,429,39. This makes
the total reduction since the incoming of
the present administration $58,908,187,00.
Now when it is remembered that during
the last of Jonsson's administration the
debt was regularly increased full $3,000,-
000 the difference between the two is rend
ered manifest. But this is not the whole
case. While this large ,reductlon
los been actually accompltshed, the
lases have not been increased.
The geishas resulted entirely from the
superior efficiency and honesty of the
men who now hold judicial offices under
-the government, as compared with their
immediate Predecessors. The Johnson
.911100-Men clearly plund4red the Tress-
my to thi extent of 475,000,000 every six
months, Which IF, the sum nbvr saved and
applied to the c,ancellation of the public
,debt.
' In the face of 'these disclosures, -which
cannot be controverted, Democratic ora
tors and journals have the effrontery to
urge the people, from considerations of
honesty and prudence, to turn the pres
ent agents of the Government out, and to
let back the old swarm of plunderer a,- or
another set, not a particle better. The
voters will not be likely to heed these
suggestiOns.

A POLICY WORTH ADHERING TO.
Gold was yesterday quoted below 131.
Of the lame ducks in Wall street, some
are well enough again to go the pace,
while others have entirely disappeared
from the scene. Now that the flurry is
over, it is Ken that no one has been se
riously hurt, except a limited class with
whom the public at large nee
dd have
'sympathy. The banks are d, stoCks
are looking up, confidence is reappearing
in business circles generally and the feel
ing all around is that the financial slunk
\
.tion is sounder and better then at any
time before or since the close of the war.
Gambling in goldcvill confirm in a mod
1K erste way, but the operators in that di
''redtion have lost the power which has
enabled them to 'control the market for
the year or two past. Excluding their
mischievous agency, the geld premiums
would have been seen steadily settling
down, under the favoring pressure of the
financial and commercial prosperity of
the country at large, to a lower
figure than even the present quotations,
and with the drift still tending downward,
until par would have been reached proba
bly ere this. _This is what the country
still desires, and what it will secure if
thetnancialsproblem be fairly let alone to
work itself out. In the meantime, the
surplus of current accumulations of metal
in the treasury should be, from time t
time, thrown into , the market by the Sec
retary, thus • contributing to the same
final result, towards which his last week's
work has taken so long a step.
The fall trade of New York isunusual
ly extensive and flattering. The har
vests of the, country have been extraordi
nary in quantity and quality. The farm
ers are comfortable, and that is the sure
basis of a general prosperity which New

"a powerful delegation of her merchants

tests against the Secretary's policy and
besieges the President with subsidies for
his intervention to stop the gold sales.
These trading financiers are "stuck"
'with large stoCks on hand, laid in at the
gold rates of the past sixty days. They
know that the premium is sure to decline
under the poiicy of the treasury; and
they will be large losers before they can
clear out their importations. There is
where that shoe pinches. The pro
tection they seek is not compatible
with the general interest A. steady
and sure decline in the premium,
such as they clearly foresee, will
be of more benefit to the country than
the profit or, the loss of a small trading
class. We sincerely hope that the policy
which Mr. BOUTWELL has inaugurated so
decisively will not be abandoned upon
these interested representations. The
country confides in his discretion and ac
cepts, thus far, all his accomplishments
with a great popular satisfaction. Let
him persevere in his line, if it takes an
other year or two. -

TUE CRIMINAL CLASS.
What shall be done with the violators
of the penal laws? This is a question
about which many men talk flippantly;
but only a few have stopped to consider
it fully and in all its aspects. Magistrates
and custodians of convicts know from
painful-experience that a system Of prison
discipline has not yet been devised hav
ing a direct and positive tendency to re
form offenders who are brought under its
provisions. Nay, all the systems tried
hitherto have only had the effect to harden
and reduce to desperation most_of the in
dividuals who have been subjected to
them. Even`hell, according to all authen
tic reports from that fierce dominion, has
not reduced a single sinner to the condi
tion of a penitent. Yet it is fair to pre
sume that there, under the adniinistration
of infinite wisdom and discretion, punish
as such, has wrought the
ment, simply
best it. is capable of.
,In England so complete has been the
failure of all efforts to transform bad
men into good ones by any plan of (near
ceration that attempts in that , direction
have been given up. Now, upon the
conviction .of individuals charged with
crimes, they are, by orderi from the
courts, sent back to the places
whence they came, placed under the in-.
spection of the police, and allowed to take
up and pursue any lawful calling that .
marsuit them. This is a close approach
to a system of universal forgiveness; the
distinction being that if, under this
s cheme, .a convict shall commit a fresh
offence be is liable to be at once arrested
and imprisoned under the prior condem
nation. The results of this scheme are
much better than those that have been
Produced by any system of imprisonment
whatever.
Of course, such treatment.of criminals
doesnot comport with prevalent concep
tions of the nature and necessity of retri
butive justice. And it must be confessed
that this scheme, based essentially upon
exhibitions of mercy, does not ;lamed
infallibly in reaching the desired end.
The inclination to and the habit of trans
gression are frequently too strong to lY.t
counteracted by restraining influences of
any description. This development has
led many thoughtful but stern perscals to
the conclusion that whenever a delAberate
offender passes into the grip of the laws
the most salutary method of der.ding with .
him is that which takes his life. What
ever may be his hereafter, socT,ety in this
world is well rid of him WA the conta
gion of his example.
Multitudes of peOple s . -whose sensibili
ties would quickly revolt against confess
ing to faith in this bereft and sanguinary
plan of penal administration come much
nearer to it than they are willing corn- 1 1
monly to allow. If a man commits a
crime their first impulse is to punish him
commensurately with his conduct. It is
this spontaneous sentiment of justice—
this fiery instinct:of revenge—that flashes
out horribly in summary executions by
lynch law. 'Closely related to this feeling
is the passionate-outburst of dissent that
is sure to follow the pardon of a convicted
criminal. -So much torture, for so much
crime, is the remedy prescribed by the
masses, whose cogitations do not go
down to the causes of human depravity,
for all . who disturb the peace and order of
the community. •
This subject needs for its true solution
a broader treatment. It may be that au
age, or even some ages, will elapse befoie
all the facts essential to the ultimate gen
eralization shall be discovered and mar
shalled in proper rank, but when the enk
shall be reached, it will be seen how little
of, genuine reason or discretion is em
bodied - in either of the present conceri
dons of criminal jurisprudence.

• One of the truest and most. suggestive Ideas •
can be obtained from the caption at the head
of this article; for of all diseases which impair
human health and shorten human life, none are
more prevalent than those which affect the ir.ngs
and pulmonary tissues. Whether we regard lung
diseases in the light of a merely slight cough.
which is, but the fore-runner of amore serious
malady. or as 1 deep lesion corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant with evil and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should the physician or
the friends and family of the patient be more
seriously forewinsed thin In those of the lures,
for it is in them that early and eflielent treat-
went is most desirable, and it is then that danger
can be warded off and a cure erected. In DR,
KEYSER'S LUNG cuss , you have a mediclne
of the greatest value in all these conditions, An
alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent,
succoring nature and sustainin therecupera
tive powers of the system,. Its beautiful work
ings; in harmony with the regular functions, can
be readily observed by the use of one or two bot
tles: it will soon break. up the chain of morbid
sirrapothies that disturb the harmonious work
ings of the animal economy. The harassing
cough, the painful respiration, the sputum
streaked with blood, will soon give place to the
normal and proper workings of health and vigor.
An aggregated experience of over thirty "Tara
has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of
his LUNG CURE, to give new tope to the con
sumptive invalid and at the same time speedy ~
relief in those now prey lest., catarrhal and
