The National Debt.
The Radical press throughout the Union
' places great stress on the fact that the
party in power ia paying off the national
debt, and it appears from their argument
that this is the only reason why the party
should remain ir power. This is all very
veil, but the fact that this debt is being
reduced does not argue in their favor.
' The tax-payers who arc over-burdened to
raise this money will naturally claim that
it is through their indulgence and not by
any meritorious action of the party in
. power by vhich this debt is being re
duced. If the people will look at the
enormous sum they are annually called
upon to pay. and the immense revenue
received by the national Government,
. they will not only withhold any credit
from the party in power, but inquire why
is thelebt not reduced more rapidly with
such a revenue? It is not a matter of
whfBlAhe party in power can boastbut
Tne people, who are down-trodden and
over-burdened with taxation on every
- side, who deserve the credit of this reduc
. tion. With the present revenue of the
general Government, after paying the in
terest on the debt and the necessarily in
crease of the expenses, costs the peop'e
. more than double the amount it did dur
ing any Democratic administration since
the formation of the Government. Then
why should these speculators and swind
lers claim or receive any credit for the
reduction of the debt ? It should be re-
luced double the amount it has been with
the enormous incomes, and then the ex-
penses of the Federal Government would
be much larger than at any previous
- period under Democratic ruie. The fact
is, the Radical party are extorting every
cent from the people possible, and the tax
payers and not the party in power de
serve the credit lor the reduction of the
lebt. It is an easy matter for a party in
power to pay off the indebtedness if the
people will submit to the high and unjust
taxes which they put upon them. We can
see no reason why the debt should not be
reduced. In fact,' it ought to be reduced
faster, and the taxes be lifted from the
shoulders of the people. The New York
Jlerahl has an able article on this subject,
from which we Ulce the following extract:
This undoubtedly sounds very well.
The liquidation of the debt at the rate of
a hundred millions or so a year is a grati
fying fact. Rut thoughtful people will
nsk where the money comes from. The
tux-payers know very well that they are
overburdened to produce the result. "Sec
retary ISoutwell has irjt a magician's wand
by which he can call up treasures from
the deep. Every dollar comes from the
pockets of the people, and the larger the
amount collected the greater is the cost of
collection. The net receipts of the Treas
ury for the quarter ending .September 30
of this year was over a hundred and fif
teen millions of dollars. This is at the
rate of four hundred and sixty millions ti
.year. A trifle more than halt the iceeipis
was from customs that is, S")7.72'.).173,
and nearly fifty millions came from inter
nal revenue. If we reckon the annual in
terest on the debt at a hundred and thirty
millions, we lhid that at the present rate
of, income the administration has three
hundred and thirty millions a year for
current expenses, independent of interest
on the debt, and to apply to the payment
of the principal of the debt. The annual
expenditures, exclusive of interest on the
debt, ought not to exceed a hundred and
fifty millions a year. That would be more
than double the sum expended previous
to the war. ten years ago. IJut admitting
this really large and unnecessary current
-expense for conducting the government,
that added to the interest on the debt
amounts to two hundred and eighty mil
lions. This would leave a balance, at the
rate of the present income, of a hundred
., and eighty millions a year to be applied
to the payment of the debt. No wonder
that the debt is being rapidly reduced un-
, der the present administration. With
such resources no government could do
otherwise. If we allow the administration
the credit it claims for augmenting the
revenue by a faithful collection of taxes,
the fact still remains that all comes from
the pockets of the people, and that they
are overburdened to produce this result.

The Land Grabbing Sclienie.
The Radical party, ever since they have
been in power, have granted rich monopo
lies lands and other subsidies to construct
railroads. Ia other words, the Govern
ment has givfn these companies land
enough to build the roads and then guar
anteed the payment of the interest on
their bonds, and allowed them to give
first mortgages on the road for the same,
and the Government has been paying the
interest as it became due. Now the Pa
cific Central road owes the Government
about two million dollars which has been
paid as interest on their bonds. The
agents cf this company Lave lately been
trying to sell the balance of the first mort
gage bonds, and when they are sold the
probabilities are tha', the Government
will be obliged to bring suit for a fore
closure, when the road will bo bought in
by the holders of these bonds. It will be
sold to the " ring," and the Government
will be cheated out of the interest which
has already been paid, and which must be
regularly paid until the maturity of these
bonds. The whole transaction has been a
swindle from the commencement, and
these land grabbers haVe not only a road
which was built' by the people's money,
but now the labor of the country is taxed
to pay the interest on the bonds long
after, as the company claims, the road i
a paying institution. While we agree
that the Central Pacific Railroad is a
great benefit to the country, we cannot
give the credit to the Republican party
which they claim for its construction.
They have given awcy millions of dollars
in money and millions of acres of land,
and now the people will be obliged,
through their partisan, corrupt and un
guarded franchises, to lose what the Gov
ernment has paid and is pledged for. The
whole system of the Republican party in
this matter has been for the benefit of cap
ital at the expense of the people, and it
will be observed that they have virtually
paid for building the road, and now con
tinue to pay to the stockholders (who are
the bondholders) the interest on the bonds
after the road has become a paying insti
tution. It is no wonder that the Demo
crats in Congress, after seeing what a ter
rible fix the Radicals have placed the
country into, have refused to give any
further railroad subsidies to thieving cor
porations. The Sacramento Union,n good
loyal paper, says on this subject :
The agents of the Central Pacific Rail
road Company at New York have of late
been trying to sell the balance of :he first
mortgage bonds. They tell the public
that the road made over $800,000 in Octo
ber, and that the grosi receipts for the
year will sum up to 87,000.000. In short
the concern is. by their statement, on rap
idly rising ground one of the most prom
i.sing in the country. How comes it then
let us enquire that with all these immense
profits, the ire usury Depirtment at Wash
ington has a bill of nearly two millions
and a half unpaid iuterest money against
the company ? Why don't they use some
or their profits to pay back the money
which the Government has paid for them
Do they ever mean to pay it ? Are they
preparing to nave suit brought lor fore
closure on the first mortgage bonds, an
the road sold out for a song to some
' ring" who hold those bonds in large
amounts, us Drannan asserted in his decla
ration ?
Hot Much.
The Oregonian attempts to make it ap
pear that Radicals such as Schurz ant
Gra'z Drown, aided by the New York
Evening Font and the Chicago Tribune
are trying to organize a new party out of
the Democratic ranks, and triumphantly
asks whether the Democracy of Oregon
are ready to give. up their cherished priii
ciples and follow such leaders?'' We say
Iot much, were these men even trying
such an impossibility. The truth of the
matter is, the papers above named, with a
large and influential portion of the Re
publican party, are disgusted with the
present administration, and unless they
can succeed in controlling the party, wil
split off and organize one out of the disaf-
lecteu element, nicy uo not, nor can
they, expect to gain any strength from the
Democracy, but they will become the
main and most powerful element of the
present Radical parly. The Republican
party, which but a few short years ago
was so powerful and united (the cohesive
power of plunder being sufficient to hold
them together), has degenerated into fac
tions, and no amount of deception,' bully
ing or threatening can cause them to act
in harmony again.. The Oregonian wishes
and prays that these men and papers
might ,ain their support from the Demo
cracy, while it knows full well that they
cannot expect to disturb the solid phalanx
of the Democracy, but will effectually and
successfully disband the present adminis
tration part. We have no fears that any
Republican w ill succeed in leading Demo
crats, or having cny influence in the party
organization. The disaffection ia the
Radical ranko. however, is most complete,
and such papers as we have mentioned
above, with a host of other heretofore Re
publican papers, are demanding the re
organization of the party, and unless their
demand is acceded to, a break-up is in
evitable, and the Oregonian will shortly
witness a complete and effectual disrup
tion of the administration party. That's
what's the matter.
Objects. The Oregonian objects to our
figures in relation to the next Congress.
While we ma' have made some errors in
our favor, we are satisfied that we allowed
sufficient to balance the table. and believe
the final count will be about as we had it.
It will be nearer, however, than the
figures of the Oregonian. The editor of
that paper has a mathematical reputation,
and he is very apt to make strange figures
in his own favor.

Ths Prevailing Discare-
The Statesman of last Tuesday, which
has been probably as guilty as the physi
cians ia concealing the fact that small-pox
existed in Salem, comes back on us for
the charges we made last week. We did
not charge the citizens with concealing
the fact, bat stated that' they were misled
by the physicians, who- ought to have
known that the disease which has caused
so much suffering throughout the State
was small-pox. Had the truth been told
in the start, the citizens would have taken
the precaution to check it. It is a re
markable statement, to say the least, that
a place, like Salem, which boasts of a
Medical Faculty, and claims to possess
the best physicians in the State, had not
one among so many that knew the disease
was small-pox, and that the fact was not
made public until after Dr. J. C. Haw
thorne, of Portland, pronounced it such.
Even after this, the same learned physi
cians denied the facts, and persisted that
it was only chicken-pox. To this very
day the ittulesman attempts to cover up
the actual existence of small-pox ia Salem,
and in nearly every instance when it re
fers to the matter that paper terms it the
" prevailing disease.' In . its reply it
says :
If we have small-pox among Us it has
existed in so "mild a form that many af
fected did not recognize it as such, and
our physicians yet fail to agree upon its
being that disease. At the present time
it is not prevalent here, unless in cases
that are recovering and nearly well. De
sides Mr. Rader, of Jackson county, there
has only been one death from it, and that
was a nursing infant.
In the first sentence the editor has
doubts as to the existence of the disease,
and is the last, he acknowledges two
deaths from it. Does that not show an
attempt at concealment ? Had it been
declared that Mr. Rader died with the
small-pox, does any sano man believe that
the bed on which Mr. R. died would have
been allowed to be thrown in the public
streets ? No. Rut 'tt was declared that
he died with hemorrhage of the bowels,
and not until now we find that it is an
acknowledged fact that ho died with
small-pox. Rut because there has been
no more deaths at Salem than above
stated, docs not signify anything. There
have been a number of deaths in the State
from it, and all who have either died or
had it were at Salem and took it with
them when they left. That we made a
malicious charge'' against the people of
Salem, is false. We respect and regard
many of her citizens as our personal
friends, but wedo say, that it speaks un
favorable for the physicians of that place
when they declare that they did not know
what the disease was, or is, to this day.
One fact may be here stated, and that is.
since the fact lias been declared by a phy
sician from another part of .the State that
the disease is small-pox, the necessary
precautions are taken, and the result is
that the epidemic is dying out. Let the
Ratesm-tn note the number of deaths
which have occurred throughout the State
by this disease, and .also the number of
sufferers who have recovered, and we feel
assured it will be ready to censure some
one, and that will be the men who ought
to have known what the disease ws, and
cautioned the people against it. v

subscriptions during the past week and

we furnish with the ExTKiM'nisa at the rate
of 83 per annum. We will furnish this
excellent magazine to all our subscribers
who will pay their subscription before the
1st of January next, at this price. We
hope all our present subscribers will avail
themselves of-this offer, and that we shall
also receive many new names to our li.-t
through this inducement. The subscrip
tion price of the Rode Journal is 81 per
annum, but our arrangements are such
that we can furnish it in connection with
our paper for 83, w hen payment is made
in advance. The proposition extends to
all our present subscribers who are in ar
rears, and if they will pay up between
this and the 1st of January they will re

Ix Tkoubt.e. The Oregonian, after at
tempting to create the impression that dis
affected Radicals were making an effort to
organize a new party out of the' ranks of
the Democracy, has suddenly become
awake to the re-dity that the effort i
about proving successful, so far, however,
that it is out of the broken and disorgan
ized ranks of the Radical parly, and not
from the Democracy. That paper is now
engaged in publishing long exhortations
to its brethren not to abandon the rotten
hulk, and goes back to the old and worn-
out cry of " traitors," treason," &c. It's
no use. The ball is in motion and the
Radical party will shortly meet its doo;S
Goon. At the city election in Salem,
the regular Radical nominee for city mar
shal was defeated by the independent
candidate. This is the only office cn
which the test was made. The Democrats
elect four out of the eight eoancilraen.
This is good for Salem, and shows that
even that place is falling in wish the pop
ular current. Marlon county will give a
Democratic majority in 1S72. Mark that
prediction.
Piior-En. A physician, Dr. Kellogg, was
arrested in Portland last week on a charge
of not reporting a case of small-pox which
he knew to exist. He was fined 8o0 for
his neglect. Had the authorities of Salem
known that the small pox existed in Sa
lem, and done so. the disease would prob
ably not have been so completely scat
tered throughout the State.

London-, Dec. 3.-A telegram dated
Tours, December 2d. saysit is officially
stated io-n;"ht that one or two days must
elapse betore the fruits of the movements
now la progress may be fully reaped.
Up to this time successive steps have been
taken and every moment brings nearer to
each other the armies of the Loire and of
Paris. During the fighting on the 30th
Ducrot andYinoy captured four i russian
guns and many prisoners.
The mili'ary authorities have made
public the following details of recent
events around the city : On the 28th. at
day break, a cannonade opened from the
forts on the south of the city. Next day
Generals Vinoy, Ruzenval and Desprean
made their way out of the fortifications,
on a reconoissance south of L'Hay and
Choissey Le Roi. They attacked the po
sitions of the Prussians, ana also dis
lodged them at Granvillers. Their loss
was severe.
Ton:s, Dec. 3. A balloon from Paris
descended near Le Mans. It left that city
on the 1st, and brings the following news :
The French troops kept the positions they
took in sorties on the 29th and 30th ult.,
and preparing to vigorously prosecute
the offensive movement. Vinoy had posi
tions greatly in advance of Ducrot. The
latter was stopped owing to a sudden rise
in the river, brought about by the Prus
sians breaking away the dam, and not on
account 4 of any resistance offered. The
Prussians retook Champa? line, but the
French again took it. The Prussians, and
not the French demanded a truce to bury
their dead. The Army of the Loire made
a successful forward movement. All the
railways in this part of the country have
ceased temporarily to take passengers,
owing to the enormous movement of
troops.
Touts:, Dec. "). The French evacuated
Orleans on the -1th inst., and the Prussians
occupied the place at midnight. The
Prussians had demanded the evacuation
and had threatened to bombard if not
evacuated. The French spiked the guns
left behind and destroyed the powder.
Vku-.im:s. Dec. 5. The French were
driven from Cheiliy and have abandoned
Cbampaigfiy Sur-Marne, and are massing
at Crelai.
Torus, Dec. o. A battle look place at
the junction of the armies of Paris and
Loire, near Fums. The French regained
the position which was taken from them
on Friday by Yon Der Tann. General
Sonnet was taken prisoner by the Prus
sians. The Gernnm loss during the two
days fi'ht was l,GO0. The weather in
France is intensely cold.
The Duke of Mecklenburg makes the
following report : Yesterday mornimr a

Army Corps was driven beyond Soignay.
Several hundred prisoners and eleven
guns were taken. Th enemy's loss was
considerable. Our loss is unknown, but

ilier than that of the enemy.
Dec. 0. Reports of the battle
near Orleans- show that the Prussians at
tacked the different corps of the French,
army seperately and in great force, thus
repulsing the left wing of the army of
the Loire, and turning on Orleans so that
its evacuation was a necessity.
Grtmbetta has issued a ct cular to Pre
fects, saying the siluati. n of the army is
good, and heavy reinforcements are al
ready arriving. Fieneh nioveHifnis will
soon'be resumed. The opposition are at
tempting to circulate false rumors to dis
courage and demoralize, but you may
confidently deny assertions ti the contrary.
Yesterday the riht of the army of the
Loire had a successful engagement near
Montane.

b' the Germans is confirmed. The even
ing that they retired they blew up the
b nd ere between Athertand Asteux. to pro
tect their retreat. Nothing lias since been
heard of General Mantculfel, and there is
but little doubt that he has abandoned his
march on the north, and is hastening with
all his forces to Paris.

with universal demonstrations of welcome.
The bombardment of Relfort has com
menced. Nothing new has been heard from (he ar

among the best informed circles is deemed
critical. Mantetiilol has been ordered to '
march to Paris. It is slated on good au
thority that Bismark insists that he must

London. Dkc.I. In the southern front of
Paris the fust shell was fired into the city
yesterday, from the Bavarian batteries
near Fa'iillon. It was accidental. The
Crown Prine Las ordered the u-c of no

. ITT. .. . . 1
message to Use beuate ana iiouse opeuea
by announcing a year of peace and pros
pel ity having passed since the last assemb
ling of Congress. It is a comparatively
brief document, written in a clear, busi
nesslike way. which presents at a glance
a review of public affairs for the past year,
and the present situation of the country.
The main facts stated aie already familiar
to the public throuirh the papers. In ref
erence to the Alabama question, the Presi
dent says: ' I regret to say no conclusions
have been reached for the adjustment of
the claim against Great Dritain, growing
out of the course adopted by that govern
ment during the rebellion. The Cabinet
of London, so far as its views have been
expresed. does not appear to be willing to
concede that Her Majesty.s go erument
was guilty of neglect, or did any act du
ring the war bv which the L'nited States"
has just cause ol complaint. Our firm and
unalterable convictions are directly to the
reverse. I therefore recommend to Con
gress to authorize the appointment of com
missioners to take proof of amounts and
ownership of vessels and their claims, and
that authority be given for the settlement
of those claims by t he United States, so
the government shall have the- ownership
of private claims, as well as responsible
control of all demands against Great Drit
ain. Whenever Her Majesty's government
shall entertain a desire tor a full and
friendly adjustment of these claims, the
Lnited States will enter upon their consid
eration with en earnest de.-ire for a con
clusion consistent with the honor aud dig
nity of nations.
The Senate was called to order at noon
by the Vice President. Nearly all he
Senators were present. Several bills
were introduced, among them one by
Cole and Casscrly' for the immediate re
peal of the income tax law. forbidding
the collection of any tax maturing after
the 1st of January.
Washburhe, of 'Wisconsin, has received
a letter from his brother, Minister to
France, in which he says the people of
Paris have provision enough to hold out.
till the 1st. of January.
R. R. Littler of Tennessee, will appear
in the House to-day and make a personal
explanation, during Which he will refer
to the damaging charges which have been
made againat hirn in connection with the
pension fraud, and demand an investiga
tion bv Congress.
The" election of General Logan to the
U. S. Senate from Illinois, in place of
Yates, is regarded certain.
Senator Sumner states the object of
his bill, introduced yesterday, to prevent
the further providing of Tj. S. currency in
place of worn out '"notes. He believes
this course will gradually contract the
currency and bring about specie pay
ments. 'The bill also provides for amend
ing the funding law. by increasing the
five per cent, bonds from 200,000,000
to SoOO.OOO'OOO.
The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury says, the financial condition of
the country has improved during the past
year. The average rate of gold for the
year 18G9. as shown by .veekly sales, wu3
329 per centum premium, and for the first
eleven moi.ths of the year 1870 it was 152
