OW,DITOIlASinPROPnillTOR. .eaiifield, pa.. .m.r. o, ism An Iowa paper hoisls the name of Grant tur President ia 1872. Since tlie coufimiation of Judge Stronp. by the Senate, the friendd of JuJge Brad ley feel wore confident of a favorable vote in his case. Four hundred new money-order offices will be opened by the Post OtBce repay ment on the first of July. That's right; the tuo' c the better. A law of Congress makes it a inisdemonn or to give or receive any "bribe" or "any valuable thinv whatever," a. a cju.;dcra tion for a vote. Does this not .apply 10 "swapping votes" between members ou pet measures? And if it dues, how pitiful is the virtue that kicks out Whittemorc and eparea the enormous swindling of railroad gounts! Or was it WhitUtuore's worst crime that he was so cheap ? It is hardly more surprising to see Hiram Revels of Mississippi figuring in the Senate than to see Dred Scott of Missouri figuring there. Senator A'ickers dragged in Dred one day last week, as a proof that Hiram should be kept out. The same thing had been done the day befoie by Senator Sauls bury. Both ot the gcntle.nen seem to have overlooked the fact that Dred Scott is a dead African, while Hiram Revels is a live American citizjn. Poor, slave-driving Dem ocracy ; when wiil it awaken to a realization of passing events. Ambassador Burlinganie haying been re moved by untimely fate, and his grand work incomplete, a friendly cotemporary suggests that now is Minister Curtin's great opportu nity to undertake the guardianship cf the Chinese orphans and assume the protector ate of an empire. On the spot with the em bassy, and the representative of the country of Burlinganie, he will be naturally looked up to by the bereaved Mongolians as their next friend, aud it will Le his own fault if lie does not accept the position and grasp its magnificent responsibilities. If women vote, women must serve on ju ries,is the result of the recent Wyoming law, and accordingly eleven have been drawn for the March term in Albany county. This proceeding, it is raid, created considerable excitement, the ladies being the wives of some of the most prominent citizens. If sitting on juries is an unpleasant task and unbecoming the "dear creatures," what will be the chagrin when, in the event of war, they will bo compelled to stand the conscription and take up arms in defence cf tbeir country? But, then, these are '"wc ineu's rights" to which they must submit when they are once enfranchised, however unpleasant they may le. A cotemporary says that throughout the State of Delaware the Democratic leaders are systematizing thtir plans for forcing the negro vote into their party. As a cloak to their intentions the cry of "white man's party" ii vigorously jai ed. but tin! inner iijach'uiery is so aiianei as to pure! ase here, drive there,' and wheedle eve-ywherc. In some sections the condescension of the district henchmen is at strange variance with their pretentions at the corner grog gery or at the club meeting. There undying hatred to the negro is audaciously preached, but the motion to adjourn generally involves a rapid distribution of participants among the houses or assemblies of the blacks for the purpose of professing friendship, prom ising favors, and making general supplica tion of patronage. The arts of inniti iiion are well understood by the Delaware Dem ocracy. They have no scruple to stand in th-jir way. A very small cabal of old slave nursed nabobs rules the State, and the de termination is to perpetuate their despot ism at whatever cost of money or principle. Let tha new voters of the StatJ take warn ing. With thcui nothing was ever trtur than that ''eternal vigilance is the p:iee of l'berty." Why sell the mipd and volition to aid the old drivers of the LoJy? Such a lavey were worse than death. The tariff men played off a rich joke on tho Democrats, in the House, on Monday a week- At Mr. Schenk's instigation Mr. Spink, territorial delegate from Dacota, of fered a resolution that it was the sense of the House that such a tariff should be im posed, as, without Impairing the revenue, would promote home manufactures. The lemocrats pitched into it as soon as it was read, and opposed it as fircely as nos.-ibJe, resorting to all sorts of par j'ainenta-y tactics to prevent its passage. It passed, neverthe less, by thestrong vote of 107 to 43. the Re publicans nearly all voting for it, tho Demo crats, all but three or four, voting against i'. Mr. Scbenek then arose and stated that the resolution was copied verbatim from the platform of the New York Democratic Presidential Convention of July, JSCS. The Democratsjliave theretofore fairly repudiated this plaok while the Republicans have fjuarely adopted it. This incident, in mak ing the leaders of a great party unoon eiou-Jy eat thuir own words, plainly shows that all jtheir professions in favor of the tariff are H mere sham a trick to prevent the tariff wing of their party from going over to the true friends of protection to h nue industry. The leaden of the Democratic party are F.ee Trade pri4gudliie, and the sooner tha working classes awaken to a realization ot this fact, the better lor them aud the jfljole country. Gold at Fifteen Per Cent.. The steady fall of gold, down, down, down, one percent, at a time, till it is now lower thau it has been since the world first began to doubt of our cause in the autumn of '62, and still threatening to go lower, and lower, is a phenomenon as wo i.derful as it is unex pected. Gold ought to be high this time of year. This is the importing season, when a demand for gold is felt. Greenbai ks, too, are generally "easy" at this time of the year, because he Spring trade has not fairly com menced. They are "easy" now. In addi tion to these two reasons why gold should bj r it her higher than asu il, the decision of the Supreme Court that quite a large class of debts hitherto supposed to be payable in greenbacks, must be paid in gold should create a demand 'or gold. But in spite of nil the -e, and other a priori reason to the contrary, gold persists in its downward course It is supecttd by seme that this steady de cline in the precious metal is not altogether natural th:t a Wall sire t combination is at work 'bearing" it, and having taken advan tage of circumstances, lias succeeded in put ting it down to one hundred and fifteen, this, ot course, is possible. If gold could ba "bulled," last Scptembcr.up to one hun dred and sixty by a strong combination, it s;cinS probable that a similar combination could "bear" it, for a short time, to one hundred and fifteen. Still, we think, the present decline does not owe much of its force to a combination. It is almost too steady and slow, yet resistless, for that. It ia much more like a natural than an artificial movement. The probability is that the growing European demand for bonds is pouring such a flood of gold on our market that it cannot help but break. And this de mand the demand of the moneyed world for what it is beginning to appreciate as a first class security can scarcely be arrested, except by reckless and foolhardy legislation, un'il our bonds g5 far above par and our greenback i to that point. We hope Congress will eschew all legislation on this subject at its present session. The Cadetship Sales. The sale of Cadet appointments il seems was practiced by others than Whittemorc. Deweese of North Carolina, Butler of Ten nessee, Flanigan of Louisiana, and Gallo d:ty of Keutucky, are also implicated in the disreputable practice. Galloday tendered his resignation to tha Governor of Ken tucky, but the latter telegraphed back that he could not accept it that as a member of the House, his duty to his State, his constitu ents and his own honir demanded a full in vestigation by the only tribunal to which he was amenable. This leaves Mr. Galloday at the mercy of the House. Mr. Butler of Tennessee, admitted to the Committee that he had received a thousand dollars for a cadet appointmentiut claims that he spent half of it to defeat Andy Johnson, and the balance for general political purposes. Be sides thj above, ex-member Pettis of Penn sylvania, Edwards of Georgia, CalHs of Al abama, Blackburn, Sypber, Newsham, and Vidal of Louisiana, Coffroth of Pennsylva nia, Whaley of West Virginia, Goodwin of Arizona, and Lane cf Montana, it is alleged sold cadetships, but it remains to be shown whether it is true that any or all these par ties Were engaged in this disgraceful busi ness. It is to be hoped; however?-that the investigation will be thorough and impartial and whenever any of these black sheep are iicvercd that they will, if still Member.?, be summarily expelled from the Congres sional fold, and if ex-Members that they will be exposed to the contempt and repro bation of all decent people. Effects of a tariff. The balance of trade daring the last s;;x months wi'l foot np about $34,030,110!), m our favor.in comparison with the same peri od of last year. This seems to be regarded by the New York free traders, as "unjust and intolerable." Viewed from their F41 ropean stand-point, these adjectives are none too strong. They would have the Inhnce just as much more the other way. They live by large importations of articles to be sold here without a domestic competition. Consequently, about thirteen hundred New York merchants, for the most part ship owners, bankers and agents of foreign man ufacturers, and many of them not yet natu ralized, held a mass-meeting in that city lately, to "devise means fjr the acceleration of the movement for a reform of the tariff," i. e., to turn the balance of trade at least thirty four millions the other way, and as much more as they can ! It is pleasant to refleit that such efforts can accomplish noth ing now. The principle of protection for home industry omm ;nds iti.df every day, the more it is discussed, to thj approbation of our people ', and is naturally gaining strength in Congress. Appropos to this subject, it is stated that British iron marsters admit having raised a tliud of two hundred thousand pounds about a .Minion of dollars for the purpose of breaking din the iron furnaces and mills of the United ho will say that, under such circumstance?.-' American manu factures and industry do not D.ed protection? What or Crn.v ? Ouesida. the lea der of she iiisuirectionary Cubans, has arri ved in the Uuited States. His presence here is variously interpcrted. Some ay it means the breaking up of the Cuban revo lution, while the Cuban Junta at New York insist that Queseda comes upon a diflo- ! matic mission, and is fully authorized by Cespedes to make negotiations for the rec ognition of the gem of the Antilles.- The more probably opinion is, that the revolu tion ia at an end. The best "possiblo way for Queeda to have obtained tho recogni tion of Cuba was to have won itoa the field of battle. Of that, recoguitiou might have been a simple logical resulr. A movement from the field of battle to that of diplomacy j a retreat, if not a rout. A chemist in Albany, while expatiating on the diicoveries of chemical science, announ cd that ?mw possessed considerable heat. An Irishman present said -cWemi? try must be a valuable snieuec, and asked the lecturer how many snow'.mlls !t would require to boil a teakettle. This was a poser. Another Liiik. The Great Eastern has succeeded in lay ing another link in the grand telegraphic chain with which modern science is fast en girdling the globe. It has successfully laid a submarine cable from Aden, Egypt, to Bombay, in Hiudoostan. This gives unin terrupted telegraphic communication from San-Francisco, California, eastward to Cal cutta, India, a distance of probably sixteen thousand miles. Thus is the globe nearly two thirds encircled. The gap yet to be filled from San-Francisco icetlwartl to Calcutta is by the somewhat circuitous route the girdle wiil have to take, at leabt twelve thousand miles. The route, com mencing from the Calcutta terminus, would problably lead from that point to Cochin China; thence to Singapore ; thence to the China coast cities of Shanghae and Hong Kong ; thence to Yokohama, Japan ; thence to the Sandwich Islands; thence to San Francisco. The first link to be filled in this long chaiu will probably be a cable a long the China coast, for the laying of which an American company is already or ganized. It is not at all improbable, how ever, that Russia will anticipate the com pletion of the Indo Chinese route indicated, by making a "cut off" of her own. If the Builingaine negotations at St. Petersburg bad progressed as far as was reported be fore the death of that gentleman, Russia will, almost certainly, have the privilege of opening direct telegraphic communication between her capital city and Pekin. But, whether Wrestern Europe or Eastern Eu rope will win this telegraphic race to East ern Asia, it is not uncertain that the Amer icans will sconer or later, lay the last Hnk on the bottom of the Pacific Oeean, which shall establish im electiic circle around the world..., Results of Ona Year. A city cotemporary sums up the results of one year of Gen. Grant's administration thus : It has paid off eighty-eisrht millions of dol lars of the public debt. It has largely in creased the public revenues, without adding new forms ot taxation. It has largely de creased the public expenditures, without detriment to the INational interests in any department. It has advanced the value of our depreciated currency from J 32 to 113. bridging over one full half of its margin be low the par ot coin. It has brought up the market value of our bonded debt, from St5(t 88, to yC4 par and even a premium in gold. It has conducted the finances ot the Gov ernment and people, from their former con dition ot qualified bankruptcy, to the very verge of general specie resumption, and this without any crisis ct marked public or pri vate distress. It has completed the radical reconstruction of all the Southern State Governments on republican principles, final ly and happily tran juilizing the people late ly in armed rebellion against the Federal au thority. It lias restored the full Southern repiesentation to Congress, with two excep tions which now await oni.v a technical ap proval. It has assisted in the final estab lishment of that great, cardinal, underlying principle on which alone free republican in stitutions can stand the absolute equality of all men citizens of the republic in per sonal and political rights. It enters upon its second year, enjoying the increased con fidence of the American people, and the en hanced respect ot the civilized world. The problems of a year ago are become certainties to-day ; and the promises ofthe beginning are seen to be already redeemed. Let the future be judged by the past 1 Who's to Blame? Indian nature in Alaska is found nj.t to differ materially from that further south, and already similir in fluencesare producing results similar to those seen in the rapid falling off of the native tribes in the west. A full account of the Christmas difficulties at Fo.'t Wrangle, ji s a rived by w ly of'S in Frano" ci, te'ls the old story of firewater and savage frenzy, with shooting and hanging to end the matter. Tho Indians were invited ns spectators o'.' the Chri-tma.s fes ivitiesat the fort, supplied with whisky hy the sutler, and ma l j datisj;r onsly happy. In this state one of them bit off the finger of a washerwoman by way of amorous diversion, and a squad of soldiers was imeindiately sent to arrest the criminal. The Inlian -, not appreciating the value of a woman's finger, resisted, the troops fired upon them, and one was killed and another wounded. The half drunken savazes then rallied, attacked the fort, shot the sutler, and only altera day of bombardment did the chiefs of the village surrender the Indian who fired the. fatal shot. He was hanged, and that diheu'ty disposed of for the time. It is quite evident that thissort of thing will uot cease with the slaying of Captaia Smith and the hanging of his murderer, if tiaders and sutlers and agents are to infest Alaska as they have done the western territories. They have begun in the same style, and the familiar results arc coming on rapidly. TlfE P ublic Debt. We have the jrrati' fying intelligence from Washington that the reduction ot the public debt during the month of February amounted to about ix millions of dollars, showing an aggregate reduction in the first year of ' President Grant's administration of nearly eigh ty eight millions. This is in strong contrast with the last year of Johnson's administration, when the debtwas increased some ix mil lion. The administration has pertina ciously and honestly clung to its determi nation to bring down the debt as rapidly as possible "nd the second year will probably show a larger redaction than the first. Jlst Sol An exchange says: 'The Lancet of london denounce.? children's par ties in unqualified terms. As tucy are gen erally conducted there can be no doubt of their injurious efforts, and while nothing is more delightful than to see children hearti ly at play, nothing is more disagreeable than seeing thcui dressed up in fancy cos tumes, trying- to- behave like "grown-up people." - A child's party in the afternoon, simple dressing and plenty of play is an ex cellent thing ; in the evening with fine cos tumes and nothing bat dancing' it is simply outrageous."

He esti mates the postage on the frauked matter, if the returns from all the postoffice had been received, would have been over $200,000 for last mouth, or $2,400,000 for the current vear. He also says that, owing to the agi tation on this subject, the sales of stamps or stamped envelopes for the month of January, 1870, over the corref ponding month of 186J have increased $311,330.
