THE ELECTION RETURNS received by
telegraph and mail up to the hour of going
to press, indicate that Grant has carried
enough states to elect him President, and
that taxation, bankruptcy, inillitary despot
ism, oppression, injustice and wrong is
the lot of the laboring white man ; and
that the "bureau" and negro domination
is to continue for the next four years.
We have no anxiety to hear further re-
ports.
We don't want to talk about the elec
tion of 1868.
We have a through ticket for the very
head waters of salt river. We retreat in
good order. We are not scattered or de
moralized. We propose to take a new
start from that pure fountain.
Next week, we shall have "about faced "
We shall then open the campaign for
1872, with a firm reliance on the eventual
triumph of our cause, which is founded on
TRUTH and JUSTICE.
The vote in this County as far as re
ceived indicates a Democratic majority of
150 to 175, a slight falling otl' on the vote
at the October election.
Just Think of It. '
If a person with sufficient lease of life
wculd commence on the first of December,
1868, the gigantic woik of counting the
national debt, dollar by dollar, at the rate
of fifty dollars a minute, and continue to
work at the rate of ten hours each day,
(Sunday excepted,) he would complete his
mammoth undertaking in the latter part of
the year two thou-anJ one hundred and
thirtv five ? In other words, it would
take him two hundred and sixty-seven
years to do Ins work.
Can such an enormous debt be paid ?
Certainly it can, by proper management.
During the three years that have passed
since the close of the war, the agents of
the United States collected more than halt
enough to do it. In addition to this, they
had the receipts from customs, from the
sales of war property, such as ships, arms,
wagons, etc.; and but, strange to tell, the
debt has been constantly increasing.
Where does the money go ?
With a judicious economy, such as has
always characterized Democratic Adminis
trations, such as that faithful old party pur
poses to introduce as soon as the people
confide the power to its trusty keeping, a
few years will wipe out this enormous in
debtedness, and we will be free from that
most odious tyranny —a money oppression.
X3T Every war question was settled on
the surrender of Lee and Johnson. The
terms granted by Grant, Shermau and the
Government have never been lived up to
llence ail the trouble in the South. Grant
himself reported, in 1865, that the people
of that section were well disposed, had no
notion of opposing the general govern
ment ; that they were, in fact, t. quiet,
peaceable, submissive people This report
of Grant, Sumner called, in the Senate of
the United States, a "white washing" re
port, and all the energies, tactics and iuge
nuity of the Radical party were put in op
eration to create disorder and violence in
the South. By their infamous Recon
struction acts they succeeded; and now,
because the people of the South will not
lie still and be trodden down, without
inurmuting or resistance, they keep up
their senseless, wicked clainor of 'rebellion'
while, in truth, they, themselves, are the
only rebels in the country.
How to become Loyal.
Gov. Vance of North Carolina, in a re
cent speech, among other good things, got
off the following:
Just go for Grant and—lo ! !—you are
loyal. I could make a loyal man out of
myself in a few seconds, by simply tele
graphing that I would support the Grant
and Colfax ticket. My sins would be
forgiven and they would tell me to "de
part in peadl"—like a buncombe magis-*
trate of my town the other day. A
couple presented themselves before him
to be married. He was a pompous sort'
of ignoramus and was smartly bothered
" how to do it," as a crowd of town
boys had collected to see the fun. Af
ter he had batllewlianged theiu through
and tied thein as man and wife there
was a kind of pause. The couple did
not know "it was all over." So, straighten
ing bimselt up, one arm in akimbo, ;
"my friends," said he, "depart in peace 1
and sin no more."
TAR A criminal was nonplussed how to

PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON THE NA
11ONAL FINANCES.
A Deploralle State of Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Oct. '24.—The President
of the United States has addressed the fol
lowing le ier to Gen. Elwing :
EXECUTIVE MANSION, /
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 24 'cß )
DEAR SIR—In a recent conversation up
on the subject of the tinances _\ou express- I
ed a desire to be furnished with some of
the leading facts then mentioned touching
the national expenditure and the public
debt, comply with your request,
regrettiug, however, that otl er and more
pressing matters have prevented me from
more clearly illustrating the absolute ne
cessity for immediate reform in the finan
cial operations of the government.
In 1776 our national independence was
proclaimed, and after an exhaustive, bloody
struggle of seven years, was, in 1783, ac
knowledged by the parent government.
In 1787 the Federal Constitution was
framed and in 1789 the Government went
into operation under its provisions, bur
dened with a debt of $75,<>u0,000, created
during the war of the Revolution. Im
mediately upon the organization of Con
gress measures were devised for the pay
ment ot the national obligations and the
restoration of the public credit; and when
in 1812, war was declared against Great
Britain, the debt had already been redu
ced to 45,0U0,U00. It was then largely
increased by the three years' struggle that
ensued between the nations, till, in 1816,
it had reached the sum of $127,000,000.
Peace again established, provisions was
made for the earbest practicable liquida
tion ot this indebtedness, in order that it
might not become a permanent incum
brance upon the people. By tender, wise
and economical legislation, the entire
amount was paid in a period of twenty
years, and the extinguishment of the na
tional debt filled the land with rejoicing
and was one of the great events of Presi
dent Jackson's administration Even af
ter its payment a large fund remained in
the Treasury, which, for safe keeping, was
deposited with the several States on con
dition that it should be returned when re
quired by the public wants.
In 1849, the year after the termination
of an expensive war with Mexico, we
found ourselves involved in a debt of $64,-
OfoO.OOO, and this was the amount owed
by tLe government in 1860, just prior to
the outbreak of the rebellion. In the
Spring ot 1801, tLe war of the rebellion
! commenced.
Each year ot its continuance made an
enormous addition to the debt, so that
when, in the Spring of 1865, the nation
successfully emerged from tlieAlreadful
conflict, the obligations ot the government
had reached the vast amount of $2,600,-
000,000. They had not yet, however, at
tained their highest point, for, when the
army and navy had been paid, the volun
teer forces disbanded and the navy large
ly reduced, it was found in February, 1867
that our indebtedness exceeded $2,800,-
000,000
Having thus referred to the indebted
ness of the government at various periods
of its existence, it may be well to call at
tention to a brief statement of facts con
nected with its expenditures. Front the
4th day of March, 1789, to the 30th of
June, 18G1, tlie entire public expenditures
were 51,70U,000,000, although covering a
period of seventy-two yenrs. This amount
is small when compared with the expenses
of the government during the recent war
of four years' duration, for from the Ist of
July, 1861, to the 30th of June 1865,
they reached the enormous aggregate of
$3,300,000,000.
An investigation into the disbursements
since the Ist of July, 1865, further shows
that by adding to the expenditures of the
last three years the estimated cost of ad
ministering the government for the year
ending the 30th ol June, 1869, we obtain
the sum of 51,600,000,000 as the amount
lequired tor the four years immediately
following the cessation of hostilities, or
nearly as much as was expended dnring
the seventy two years that preceded the
war. It will be. seen that from 1791 to
1861 our public debt was at no time more
than $127,000,000, while subsequently
four years of civil war expanded it to $2,-
800,000,000. v lt will also be perceived
that, while prior to 1861 the largest an
nual disbuisement was not quite $74,000,-
000, for the year 1858, the expenlitures
during the last three years of peace have
successively been $520,000,000, $346,-
000,000, and $393,000,000; $872,000,-
000 being the amount which it is estimated
will be necessarv for the year ending the
30th of June next.
In making this comparison we should re
member that during the long interval be
tween 1789 and 18C1 the government was
frequently required to make expenditures
lof an extraordinay character. Large sums
were paid to Indians as annuities and for
the purchase of their land, and expensive
wars were waged against powerful tribes.
Louisana was acquirer! from Fiance at a
cost of 515,000,000, Florida, in considera—
i lion of $5,000,000, was ceded to us by
1 Spain. California became part of our pos
sessions on payment to Mexico of $15,000,-
000, while for $10,900,t)00 our govern
i ment secured from Texas the territory of
| New Mexico. During the periods of our
history we were also engaged in wars with
Great Britain in Mexico—the first waged
against one of the most powerful nations of
the world, the other made additionally ex
i pensive by the preservation of military op
eration in the enemy's territory.
The startling facts thus concisely stated
suggest an inquiry as to the cause of this
increase in the expenditures and indebted
' ness of the country. During the evil war
' the maintenance of the federal government
was the one great purpose that animated
onr people, and that economy which
should always characterize our financial
j operations was over-looked in the great
effort of the nation to preserve its exist
ence. Many abuses which had their ori- j
gin in the war continued to exist long af
ter it had been brought to a triumphant
conclusion, and the people, having become
accustomed to a lavish expenditure of the
public money for an object so dear to them
as the preservation of the integrity of their
institutions, have partially tolerated taxa
tion of the most oppressive character.
Large sums of money continued to be ex
tracted and squandered in useless and e<-> j
travagant appropriation. Enormous ex
penditures are demaidad fir purposes the
accomplishment of which require* a large
standing army, the p< rversion of the Con- 1
>ti*ution and the subjugation of the States
to negro domin ition, with n military estab
lishment costing in time of peace not less
than $100,0C0,000 annually, and a debt
the interest upon which draws from the
treasury each year nearly $150,000,000,
making a total of of $350,000,000 tor
those two items of expenditure alone. Re
trenchment has bee eiie an absolute neces
sity, or bankruptcy must soon overtake us
and involve country in its paralysing
and disastrous results. If, however, a wise
economy may be adopted, not merely for
the ben Wit of a few, but in interest of
all, a revenue would yet remain sufficient
for the administration of the government,
as well as for such public debt u* would in
a few years relieve the people from mil
lions of interest now annually drawn from
their resources
The idea that the debt is to become per
manent should be at all times discounte
nanced as involving taxation too heavy to
he borne and payment of an amount of in
terest every sixteen years equal to the
original sum. The gradual liquidation
uf the public debt would by degrees re
lieve the large capital invested in the se
curities of the government, which, seeking
renumeration in other sources of income,
would add to the wealth of the nation up
on which it is now so great a drain This
immense debt, if permitted to become per
manent and increasing, must eventually be
gathered in the hands offhe few and ena
ble thein to exert a dangerous and control
ling power in the affairs of the govern
ment. The debtors would become the
servants of the lenders, the creditors the
masters of the people. It is our boast
that we have given freedom to three mil
lions of slaves; it will then be our shame
that by their own toleration of usurpation
and profligacy forty millions of people have
enslaved themselves and exelianged stock
holders and tax-gatherers.
Hence the vita! issue—whether Con
gress and its arbitrary assumptions of au
thority shall supercede the supreme law of
the land; whether in time of peace the
country shall be controlled by a multitude
of tax collectors and a standing army, the
one almost as numerous as the other, and
making the debt a permanent burden up
on the productive industry of the people;
or whether the constitution, with each and
all of its guarantees, shall be sacredly pre
served; whether now, as in 1789 and 1810,
provision shall be made for the payment of
our obligations at as early a period as
practicable, that the fruits of their labor
may be enjoyed by our citizens rather
than used to build up anil sustain a money
monopoly at home and abroad. The con
test is not merely who shall occupy the
principal offices in the people's gift, hut
whether the high behests of the Fedeial
Constitution shall be observed and main
tained, in order that our liberty may he
national; fraternal feeling re-established,
that our national strength may be renewed;
the expenditures diminished, that taxation
may be lightened, and the public debt once
more extinguished, that it may not injuri
ously affect the life and energy, the pros
perity and morals of the nation.
Believing that for the redress of these
great wrongs, and the correction of these
inanv abuses under which the county is
now laboring, we must look to the Ameri
can people, and that in them is our hope
I am truly your friend,
ANDREW JOHNSON.

Went to see what the party would do.—
Before we went into the Hall, heard some
of the hoys talking about going over to

who walked up street with me. At least
half of the crowd at the Hall lived in town.
Heard some of them talking about Shov

Half a dozen went from the Third ward

election was held. He said nothing.—
< "ante back and walked out the door fa
cing the depot. Dr. Brisbane passed by
the other door fronting the Easton turn
pike towards the poll door. Four or five
minutes afterwards the stoning and ham
mering commenced at the door and win
dows. I jumped over the counter wtth
out doors and saw Giles Stevens kicking at
the poll door on the porch. I ran bar k
and commenced securing the bar-room
My brother was thrown bleeding and sense
less into the bar room. I did not at first
recognize bun for the blood. When I
lifted him up I recognized him as my
brother. llis eye was out, lying on his
cheek. He lay insensible all the evening.
The door, sash, windows and the side of j
the house was all smashed. There are
half a bushel of large stones lying in the
room where the polls were held, now.
Th,e election board were counting tickets.
Saw Brisbane, Ellis aud Giles Stevens.
It was between 7 and 8 o'clock I should
think. The election officers were driven '
from the room.
6'. F. McDermott, a Member or the Lu

we spent a few moments in the room, dis

It was finally arranged that all the rest
should go to supper, and I should remain
and take care of the ballot boxes and pa
pers. After the rest of the board got
their supper, and came back, I went and
got mine. It wai about half-past seven
o'clock when I went to supper. As soou
as I got iny supper, we sat down to count
the votes. Just as the Judge of Election
I (Ziba Gruver) had taken off the cover of
i one of the ballot-boxes, and was in act of
taking out some of the votes, there came a
thump at the door. The Judge dropped
the tickets back in the ballot oox. Some
one remarked that "something was going
on outside." Just then something else
stiuck the door, and I says, "Hoys, that's a
stone." Then there were three or fout
stones came in quick succession. The glass
flew all over. The sash flew in fragments
about the room. Something flew between
my feet. 1 immediately jumped up, took
one of the ballot-boxes, the Judge taking
the other, and went up stairs. We re
mained up stairs about ten minutes, I'art
of us left the ballot-boxes in charge of one
of the board, and went back, to the poll
room for our hats and overcoats There
were 15 or 20 stones in the room, some as
large as my two fists. Heard ;3 of 4 shots
fired Hfter the stoning, apparently from the
other side of the bridge.
