' R am I L in / 1876. lin coln TlLD ¡ KN H en i drices . We had supposed that the Rev. J. H. Acten, editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate, intended to continue in the path made by his illustrious predecessor, and let politics alone, but we were sadly mistaken. V A Notwithstanding the report to the contrary, the Republicans expected to . carry the recent election in Alabama. Note the action of Gov. Haves, Zach Chandler, Senator Morton, and oth- era in uaiting the Spencer and anti- Sppncer factions. Grant lias ordered that Moore, a clerk who made himself serviceable to Babcock in the whiskey trial, and —wbo tm damiBeed- /corn- office,-shall - be reinstated, and that his salary shall * date back to the time of nis dismissal. This is one of those shameless deeds by which Grant expec’s to aid the election of Hayes. * It has been suggested to place U. S. Grant at the head of the Smithso nian institution when he retires; but we hardly think, says the Sun, there would be much in science congenial to his tastes. What can be done with him? We have it, Give him charge of a sample room! j '*■< ■ *• ~9 Such of our soldiers as are killed and wounded in the Expedition of t t. Gen. Crook against Sitting Bull, fall under the fire of breech-loading rifles of the best patterns furnished our sav age enemy, either directly by the agents of Gen. Grant or through their connivacce. It is a faet worth thinking about. r compelling the Government function- ariee at Washington to pay in their assessments to the Grant-Hayes fund under penalty of dismissal. He tol erates no nonsense, listens to no ex cuse, and gives no heel to the plea of poverty. They must walk the plank if they do not come down with the two per cent. He employs Govern ment clerks, drawing their salaries from the Treasury, to enforce his de crees. So it goes, and Hayes, like Grant, is a reformer, opposed to offi cial assessments for political purposes. * I0F.Í-4 ■■ <, r 9 t f I '- i / - 3 ! l e ; q « *>. The answer of Gov. Tilden and other defendants concerned in the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Rail- road Company transactions, is long but perspicuous and to the point. It shows that the company was immense ly benefitted by the accession of Gov. Tilden and his friends to its control. The transactions in the stock were individual acts and not those of trus tees. The amounts paid Mr. Tilden for legal services were for specific work done, , and his charges were less ’ than they might justly hare been made. In short, there is no apparent occasion for the mud throwing about this business in which some of Gov. Tilden’s opponents have so vigorously indulged.—A*- F. Tribune. Will the Oregonian and Bee please make a note of this, and he more careful in the future? 4 Nor is denunciation unmerited of that of the peapie; under the in^ueuce of this COURIER’S COLUMN.

The homely maxims of every day d life are the best standard of its c^djict. A debtor who shoo’d prort)ise&|pay a loan out of a surplus income,wet be seen every day spend ing all ffeicould lav his hands on in riotous frying, would lose all charac- ter for Ibnesiy, and his offer of a new promis] qr his profession as to the value q tilloid promises, would alike Í provok - ’derision.

It cannot be doubted that;the(. substitution of a system of prefjaràtiou without promise of a day That GoV. Tilden is aa able, prac tical financier, there can be no ques tion. In his letter of acceptance he shows the people how the whole na tional debt can be paid off in the com paratively short period of thirty-eight years, simply by the adop.ion of a fi nancial policy which should secure to the country the highest credit. By wisely availing ourselves of this, he estimate* that a reduction of one per cent, on the interest of the loans could be effected; and this saving, invested at the low rate of four and-a-half per cent, interest, would cancel our entire national debt in the course of thirty eight years. This is no chimera. It is no wiM visionary scheme. It is the careful calculation of a practical business man, who knows how to put it in op eration, and who will carry it into ef feet if an opportunity is afforded him. We put it to the voters of the coun ctry, tbe sensible men, whether this payment of the national debt is not a consummation devoutly to be wished? The btavy burden of taxation which rests upon us would at least be re moved from the shoulder* of our children.
