that suspicion rested ou bis wife, from tbe
fact that she had putlicly ihnatoued to poi

from tbe further tact that she disappeared
from tbe neighborhood before her husband
was buried.

Macon Telegraph, is the volume to which al

an honorable tribute to a distinguished sou
of Georgia. Tins book, we hope, will at least
appear helote the nppr- aching great State

Washington*, Oct. 8, 181/J.
Tho following annual thanksgiving prod:
nialion has been issued by the President: —
Washington, Oct. 8, 1809.
By the President of thu United States:
Thoycur which is drawing to a close h,
been free Ironi pestilence. Health 1ms pr
vailed throughout the land. Abundant crops
reward the labor* of the husbandman. Com
merce an 1 manufactures have successfully
prosecuted their peaceful path*. The mine s
and forests have yielded liberally The nation
has increased in wealth and in strength.—-
Peace ha* prevailed, and it* blessing have ad
vanced every interest of tho people in everj
part of the Union. Harmony and fraternal
intercourse, restored, are obliterating tho
marks of the past conflict and estrangement.
Burdens have been lightened, means inert us
ed. Civil und religious liberty are secured to
every inhabitant of the land, whose soil is
trod by freemen. It becomes a people thus
favored to make acknowledgement to tho Su
preme Author, from whom such blessings flow,
of their gratitude and their dependence; to
render praise and thnnkgiving for the same,
and devoutly to implore the continuance ot
God’s mercies.
Therefore I, Ulysses S. Grant, President
of the United Htates, do recommend that
Thursday, the 18th day of November next, be
observed us a day of thanksgiving and of
prayer to Almighty God, the Creator and the
Ruler of the Universe.
And, second, I do further rccommod to all
the people of the United States to assemble
on that day in their accustomed places ol
public worship and to unite in tho homage
and praiso duo to the bountiful Father of all
mercy, und in fervent prayer for tho contin
uance of the merciful blessings Ho has vouch
safed to us as a people.
In testimony whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the Unit
ed States to be affixed this tho fifth day
of October, A. D. one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-nine, and of theindepeu
donco of tho United States of America tho

wrought by such avowal* a* this. In the first
place, they lead people to sutfpeot the sin
cerity of tuauy attack* upon tho Administra
tion, which are dictated by a sense of public
duty, atfd not by tho private spite wLlou ani
mates such ussmils as those of Mr. Dans.
Here, supporter* of the Administration may
reasonably iay, la ouo nswtpaper which con
siders the President a “lo©T for refusing to
buy its approbation, uudthorcupcm givo* him
gratis if#abase. May wo not »npposo that
the ►'ttuie feeling is at the bottom of other
criticisms, the authors of which are yet loo
shrewd to betray tho grounds of Iheir hostility
as Mr. Daua has betrayed his?
For ourselves, and for the whole Ueceut
portion of the Amorioan Press, wo disclaim
participation in such sentiment* a* theso of
the Hun. It is too obvious to noed more than
mere statemeut that is i* essential to the value
of newspaper criticism that it should be en
tirely disinterested. The men who adminis
ter it must be entirely beyond either tho
open bribe of money or the scarcely less open
bribe of office. If they do not write solely iu
thu iuterest of their o|k*it, the public, their
strictures are not worth a straw. If they
praise official* because they hope to get office
from them, aud attack thorn when they have
failed to get office from thorn; or if they pan
der to tho baser portion of the people with
reckless abuse, und uiuko of what should be a
public guide merely a c.itch-pouny private ad
venture, they not only render thoir own re
marks worthless and their own characters
contemptible, but they bring iuto disrepute
the 1’iohS of which they form s part.
It is to lit this disreputo where it bolougs
that wo take this notice of Mr. Dana and his
impel. Wo believe that there is no other
journalist of any standing iu this country
who would bo or who would avow himself to
be influenced by such motives as he has taken
for granted that all journalists are influenced
by. Thu conduct of u man at the head of a
Me tropolitan newspaper who permits his pub
lic utterances to be dictated by hi* private
grudges, can only bo characterized a* rascally.
And a journalist who assumes that such
gimlgi * are a common motivo of action to all
hi-* brethren is guilty, in addition, of a fla
grant insult to the honorable members ot his
profession.

From the World, Oct 11
A New Haven paper obnurvu* that the course
"f the New York Sun in attacking President
Graut seems to bo dictated by sheer spite. Up
to the time of Grant’s inauguration, it truly
any*, no paper was more profuse in panegyric
ot him limn that one. But when it appeared
that ho was not minded to reniprucato this
adulation uitte tho bestowal of an office suita
ble to Mr. Dana’s appreciation of Mr. Dana's
sorviceR, Mr. Dana’s paper turned eg iiunt
and rent. him.
Singular to say, thu Sun «1<m h not indig
nantly deny this charge. Coutrariwisn, it con-
fcaries* it, by implication, thus :
“This we regard as one of the mu.d damag
ing assaults upon the reputation of General
Grant f«»r common scusc und ordinary sagaci
ty that wo have ever mot with. It it bo true
that he could have had thu continued and
cordial snpport of tho Sun on the simple con
dition of giving an office to its . ditor, was ho
not a fool not to give it ? Considering how
many offices (antral Grant has given away to
men who deserved nothing, uml who have
since done nothing but damage his adminis
tration and help in breaking down his party ;
considering how lavish ho was iu bestowing ]
honors and emoluments on his relaiioiis ami
cronies, it certainly would have been prudent
if he had given a little variety to hia pro
gramme by enlisting an able editor or two in
such a way a* to make them tho hearty de
fenders ot hi* good net* and the shrewd apol
ogists of hi* iuuvitablc blunders."
That is to say, if it is to the immediate in.
ten st of Grant to secure the silence of Hie
press by bribing editors, is be not u “fool”
unless ho does it? Thu surcuu uncoiihciouh-
hcMs of any distinction between right and
wrong which such a declaration as this implies

which it is put forward as au < xnue, but it i*
nevertheless shameful for any Amencuu jour-
ndi-t to feel and disgraceful !o. Mm to uVi w.
Iu effect, Mr. Dana say* to Mr. Grant: *• I
am a public watch-dog; you might have kept
mo quiet with a slice of beef, but you have
chosen to refuse it to mo, and now you shall
feel my fangs.” Kveii I’r*sident Grant has
not sunk so low a* not to he able to despise
attack* which aro instigated by so sordid a
motivo as this, even though tiny go to tbo
longth of charging him with corrupt complic
ity in the design* of a knot of gold gam Mors,

Louikvillk, Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1869.
No loss than twenty-eight States arc now
represented here by an almost startling body
of delegates, aud it is hard to imagine tho
noise and confusion that roigns in tho hall.
It has bouu a fearful task to shape order out
of this immense chaos; but at IasI a partial
understanding and a consequent quiet pro-
vails aud business seem* to have been fairly
comuiuuccd. Thu great draw-back bo far ho*
been the difficulty experienced iu arriving at
Homo sort ol understanding. There are those
who came here big with nomething, they
hardly knew what, and it really seemed as if
they were obliged to speak or explode. They
were uot content to await the legitimate order
of things and coutro! themselves by a violent
effort until tho Convention could have been
permanently organized; but their motto was
to “pitch in" at short rango aud talk auyhow,
whether or not they had anyhiug to say.
From this cause tho organization which ought
to havo been effected iu two hours, has been
barely effected iu two days.
But 1 am happy to stato that organization
has been completed ut last, by the adoption
of the following report of tho Committee on
organization :
Your committee, appointed to consider and
recommend to tho Convention suitable per
sons to bo Vico Presidents and Secretaries
thereof, und rules for its proceedings, and
tho Order und subdivision of its business,
have the honor to report, that, having duly
considered tho subject, they beg leave to re
commend that thu following gentlemen bo
appointed by tho Convention :
VICE PRESIDENTS.
Alabama, Robert M. Ballou.
Arkansas, Geo. E. Dodge.
Delaware, Jas. Bradford.
Florida, J. J. Williams.
Georgia, Then. Hardeman.
Indiana, G. F. Cookerly.
Illinois, Jesse M. R chard*.
Iowa, Geo. W. Jones.
Kansas, John A. Habieutau.
Kentucky, Chas. ‘nderson.
Louisiana, Paul O. Hebert.
Minnesota, Eugene Underwood.
Mississippi, G. A. Sykes.
Missouri, Adolph Miner.
Maryland, Ik P. Pendleton.
Massachusetts, G. W. Bush.
New Jersey, David Naan.
New York, Thou. G. Alvord.
North Carolina, W. F. Beasley.
South Carolina,

Pennsylvania, Geo. W. Thruston.
Rhode Island, A. S. Walcott.
Tennessee, N. B. Forrest.
Texas, Frank It. Labrook.
Virginia, Wyndham Robertson.
Wisconsin, Juo. Nazro.
West Virginia, Benj. W. Smith.
Your committee also recommend that Mr.
Charles M.Thruston, of Louisville, Ky., the
provisional Secretary of tho Convention, bo
ehosen permanent Secretary thereof; and that
Messrs. W. R. Rowers, of Michigan City, In
diana, and E. A. James, of Tennessee, bo ap
pointed reading clerks aud secretaries thereof.
They also recommend that tho following gen
tlemen be appointed as additional secretaries:
G. II. Wilcox, Mobile, Ala.; James R. Miles,
Helena, Ark.; George W. Stone, Wilmington,
Del.; K B. Burroughs, Talluhasseo, Fla.; M.
A. Hardin. Atlanta, Ga.; J. II. Oberly, Cairo,
111.; P. T. Lomax, Keokuk, Iowa; Henry
Foote, Leavenworth, Kansas; Forrest Dul-
houde, Now Orleans, La.; Grant Hunt, St.
Paul, Minn.; J. W. Williams, Kansas City,
Mo.; F. Speed, Vicksburg, Miss. H. McCoy,
Baltimore, Md.; S. Bacon, Boston, Mass.;
Schmoul, Jr., Egg Harbor, N. J.; John
Tracey, Albany. N. Y.; J. A. Fuquay, Tar-
boro, N. C.; W. S. Stevenson, Aiken, S. C.:
Lewis Seaaougood, Cincinnati, Ohio; Lewis
G. Mittingcr, Philadelphia, Pa.; Henry Lip-
pit, Providence, R. I.; T. J. Campbell, Jef-
.orson, Texas; J. C. Armistead, Petersburg,
Va.; W. C. Kitteridge, Fair Haven, N. Y.; J.
R. Goodrich, Milwaukee, Wis.; J. M. Cans-
laud, Point Pleasant, W. Virginia.
And now business has really commoucod,
although thu adoption of the above report
was not tho signal lor it entirely. More squab
bling followed, more “appeals from tho deci
sion of the chair” ou unimportant questions,
more speech-making, more vociferous efforts
to ho heard when there was no question up,
and inoro shouts of “order,” “order.” But,
as I said, business has really commenced.
Already thero has been such an avalanche
of resolutions as would almost terrify a Geor
gia Legislature, sitting at “uinu dollars a day
uml mileage each way." They come in almost
by tho ream, to say nothing of tho quiro, and
if the Convention remains horo to thoroughly
discuss aud act upon all of Hu m, tho delegate*
will have to send home for their winter cloths,
and manage “by hook or by crook” to iucrease
each individual exchequer; for among tho
other good qualities which unto Louisvillo
doth pertain, it is a most excellent plaeo to
get rid of a “heap” of money. But, then,
everything is so charming here, that wo pay
for the whistle without murmur, and never
imagine wo are wheedled out of anything oh
But I am continually running away from
business notwithstanding, I am such an in
dustrious nun ; but there is business enough
in sight uow to induce any man to run away
from it, if he could do ho under any sort of
a pretext. A* I was going ou to say awhile
ago, u perfect avalmicho of resolutions came
down upon the Convention, covering a vast
array of subjects many of which deserve more
discussion than this body will be able to give
to all ot them. It would be too great a bur
den upon your columns, to givo tho text of all
these ivsolutioUK, so 1 will merely mention
the substance of a few of them. But before 1
•lo this I will givo a list of subjects upon
which standing committees have been ap
pointed. They are as follows:
1. Ou Southern Pacific Railroad.
‘2. Ou Railroad* in General.
•1 On Direct Trade with Europe.
On Immigration,
fi. Ou Fmancu and Runkiug.
6. On Manufactures and Mining.
7. On the MiHHisMippi Lovccs and Improve
ments.
8. On thu T(H
pen mhiiih.
9. On River Navigation, Canals aud other
Improvement*.
10. Ou Agriculture.
11. On Continuous Water Communication
botwenn the Mississippi river and tho Atlnutic
Sesboard.
12. On tbe removal of obstructions to a cheap
and easy out Jut through thu MU.itsippi into
tho Guff.
13. On MiscoUansouu Business.
Now for the rosolalious. There was oua on
Taxation, on* on Fofcign Btenmshlp Commit-
nidation, another ou Mediterranean Steam
navigation, ouo oousnring Mr. BoutwelTs gold
transactions, one on Bridgus over the Onio,
several on tho Houtboru Pacific Railroad, and
other* covering tbe subjects of Direct Trade,
Tax ou Tobacco, Mississippi River Levees and
Navigation, Coaal connecting Ibo Puoiftc
Oeoan with tho Lakes of tho North, Railroad
Iron Tariff', Obutruotiou* to Navigation, tho
Nutioual Capital,(recommending its removal,)
Helling Good* by Bamplo, Western Naviga
tion, Ocean Comwnuloation, and ouo declar
ing tbe Misaimippi river a national institu
tion, which I think will bo adopted unani
mously.
The stauding committee* wore announced
this afternoon, hut would oocupy so much of
your space that I will not send them.
A resolution of respect to tho memory of
ex-Presideut Piorce was adopted by a unani
mous risiug vote, aud the Convention then
adjourned, in honor to tho lamented states
man, until twelve o’clock to-morrow.
All aro now agog for tho gritud poccssiou
to-morrow. There will be *uch a display of
weu aud manners and banners ns was never
before scou iu tho “Falls City.” It is variously
estimated thut the proce*siou will be from
flvo to ton miles long. Preparations for it
go steadily ahead. Wagons and hordes are
being gotten in readiness for it, aud the peo
ple hero believo it will bo one of tho grandest
displays that ever took place in thi* country.
1 think it will, for Louisville is in earnout
about showing herslf off, and to-morrow she
will do her beat to muster ull her recruits.

Secretary Hontwcir* Speech In 1'hlltt-
drlphla-
An immouse Republican ma*s mooting was
held in Philadelphia ou Saturday evening, and
among tho speakers was Secretary Boutwcll,
who gave au interesting statement iu regard
to the finances of the country, in thu Course
of ins rsmarks bu atid hi was a wort of the
difference of opinion its to tho payment of tho
public debt in the manner contemplated by
the Administration, and would therefore state,
iu a single sentence, the Administration’s en
tire policy with regard to tho public debt a*
he comprehended it. it was tlmt tho debt
was to bo paid, principal and interest, accord
ing to tbu terms of the contract, in coin, or
that which men will receive as tho equivalent
of coin, without any abatement whatever.
[Great applause.] This was tho proper course,
not aloue because of tbo interest of those
who had tuktu the nation’s promise to pay,
but because the people would prove them
selves unworthy the character of American
citizens did they hesitate to do wbat they hod
promised to do. There wero thoso who went
into an inquiry as to whether public creditors
received dollar for dollar equal to the amount
of the obligations ; other* inquired whether
the iuterest already paid wa* not sufficient to
satisfy public obligations, and justify us in
compelling tho bondholders to release tho evi
dence of obligations ; and others proposed to
pay tho principal and deny tho interest. AU
these wero snares and delusions. There was
but one proper courso of procedure, und that
was the courso which the honest merchants
pursued -to meet our obligations manfully,
aud to fulfill them to the last ceut if wo have
it. [Long continued applause.]
It has boon suggested to pay theso obliga
tions iu other promises not bearing such in
terest, as greenbacks or United Status Treas
ury notes. Tho first answer to that was, gen
tlemen, do you propose to pay the treasury
notes or grecuback that you issuo in pay
ment of bonds V If so, iu what would yon pay
them? LYrtaiuly iu nothing but the coin
substitution or one promise to pay for anoth
er. Was not tho liquidation of tho obliga
tion incurred ? Hud those who urged this
proposition considered that the wholo bank
ing system of tbe country was based upon
these promises ot the United Stall s, that our
savings institutions were filled with those ob
ligations of the Natioual Government, and
that when theso obligations were repudiated
it was not wealthy nun alone that suffered.—
Rich men are credited with tho possession of
at least au average amount ol sagacity, a
when they saw thu Government issuing o
or two thousand millions of greenbacks, a
they compelled to receive them ill exchan| I
for these Government bond*, they would at
ouco enter the markets of the country i
purchase real ussate, ships, and other pro;
ty, while the depreciated currency of
country would be left in the. hands of tho la
boring people of tho country. The public|
debt was two thousaud four or five hnudr
millions of dollars, of which two thousai
one hundred millions was bearing interest.
But this debt was less in proportion to the
population and property than tho debt of tho
Revolution, which our forefathers did not
hesitate manfully to pay.
Iu the year 1791 tho United States own
$75,000,000 funded debt. In 1801 it had ris
en to $83,000,000. Wo wero then a peopl
hardly more than 3,000,000 in number, witl
tho property of tho country worth probably]
not more than one-fifth as much as it is to
day. Wo have uow 40,000,000 of people, and
an accumulating wealth of not less than fifty
thousand millions of dollars. During tho
eight years of Jefferson’s administration tho
debt was reduced from $83,000,000 to $57,-
000,000, a deduction of $26,000,000. Iu our
own day tbe capacity of the p<?ople to pay tho
debt has been immensely increased.
Tho productive power of one man on tho
creation of wealth is now at least four times
I as great as was the productive power of one
man at tho commencement of tho century.
Considering all those facts, tho public debt
of to-day dwindles away in comparison with
the amount of public deb' that was assumed
by tho nation whou it came out of colonial
existence into the supremo majesty of a na
tion. Our capaotity for paying the debt
might bo estimated by what wo hud paid. If
none of it had been paid from 1865 to tho
present time, the funded debt would uot have
been less than threo thousand two hundred mil
lions, in addition to threo huudred and fifty-
six millions of Uuited States notes in circula
tion; but by our system of taxation a reduc
tion had been effected of several hundred mil
lions dollars. If in thoso four years, exhaust
ed ns wo hud boon by war, wo had boon able
to pay twenty-five or thirty-three pur cent, of
the public debt, worn wo to hesitate uow with
a population constantly augmenting, with a
Initiation continually increasing, ami tho ca
pacity of people iu the prodneo of wealth
grently Accelerated ?
If we wero to pay ono hundred millions of
lollars a year, which we can pay if thu present
system ot taxation he permitted to remain,
tho public debt would bo extinguished in less
than fourteen years. If wo pay fifty millions
a yuur, which wo can do, while annually de
creasing taxation, the interest bearing public
debt would be extinguished in less than tw
ty-two years. It wo pay but twenty-six u
lions n year, and largely reduce taxation, the
interest-bearing debt would bo extinguished
iu about thirty years.
But the most important consideration, an
it was tho ono which had induced tho spenke
to he present on this occasion, was this: W
wero now paying on tho larger part of this
debt six per cent, interest; but tho last six or
seven months having demonstrated to soma
extent the ability and disposition of the peo
ple to pay this debt, it was now not only
probable, but in tho ubsenco of any disturb
ance of tho pcaco of the world or natioual
calamity, it was almost Certain, that we could
speedily refund as much of this debt as w<
desired to refund at a rate of interest not ex
ceeding four and a half per cent. This would
Have to the peoplo who pay taxes fi
eighteen to twenty-five millions a year.
That was tho practicable quo*lion invoB
iu thu coming eloction. The credit of tho
nation depended upon the ability and dispo
sition of tho puoplc to respond to all obligi
lion* that had been assumed. Just in pri
portion ns tho people evinced an indisposition
to pay their debt would the depreciation of
our credit abroad follow. If, by any uncer
tain vole in Pennsylvania and Ohio on Tues
day, the faith of Europe in the apposition of
our people to pay their debts is shaken, tho
effect will bo felt in the depreciation of our
bonds and the consequent continuance for a
longer period of thu six porcuut. rate of inter
est ou our outstanding obligation*, instead of
enabling us iu tho next six month* to replace
them at lour and a half per cent, intoront.
Tho speukur further statod that the Presi
dent had desired thu iq>|Miiuluient of honost
men to places of public trust, especially iu
thu collection oi re venues, lor dishonesty in
thin burncli of the public service would injure
sooner than ull else thu crudit of tho Govern
ment, aud reuder taxation odious.
By honesty and eoonoiny in offioinl manage
ment tho people of the country had boon en
abled to pay, since tho 1st of Mnroh last, $56,-
000,000, aud daring the hut year thero had

uad these were bonds issued by the Govern
rnent, payable at time, in future, and bearing
interest, most of them at six, and a small pro
portion at five per cent. Then thorn was the
ourrenty of Uio country, known os green

country, as part of their reserve, they having
tho right any moment to call on tho Govern
ment for the redemption of tbe*e three per
oonts. in greenbacks. When the Secretary
of tbo Treasury found himself in possession
of five, ten or fifteen millions of surplus funds
ho was to apnropiiato it to tbe payment of
one or the other of those forms of indebted
ness.
Ry a law of Congress ho was prohibited
from diminishing tho volumo of greenbacks
below $356,000,000, which was the amount
issued when he came to the Treasury Depart
ment. Millions of three per cents held by
tho banks answered, to a certain extent, tho
office of tho currency. They wero closely
watched by the buuk*, and would not bo
given up except upon some so l of prossuro,
oven if it wero iu his power to lo so ; more
over, ho foil that it was, to some oxtent, a de
parture from the law of Congress, by which
ho was required to allow thu vduuie of tho
currency to remain as it was wh .u he entered
tho office; thereforo the coarse pursued was to
buy in tho markets of the country six per
cent bonds issued by tho Government at tho
market price, thus effecting diminution of tho
expenses of the Government.
