Thus if the Treasury endeavors to meet its
current expenditures this year (to say noth
ing 6f matured claims deferred, *or of the
postoffice deficiency,) it will show a deficit of
$15^339,202-25 at the end of the year, tobe
obtained from increased taxes or loons.
Mr. Delmar closes bis lengthy exhibit with
the following remarks:
“The reconstruction measures and tenure-
of-office law are the main cause of all the ex
travagant expenditures which, under econom
ical management, I think could be diminish
ed within a year to $200,000,000 per annum,
including gold interest on the public debt.
Without a total change of policy, however,
such retrenchment is impossible. A continu
ance of present measures means a continued
heavy expenditure, and this can only be met
by increasing the public debt.

on the future political policy ofthose States.
He bore letters from. Gov. Seymour and Gen-
Rosecrans, both of whom approved the’ob
ject of his mission. In Virginia he had a
conversrtion with Gen. Lee, and also with
the members of the State Executive Com
mittee, which may possibly lead to the pub
lication, in a fe w days, of a circular letter ad
dressed to the Democratic voters of thJt State
on the subject of negro suffrage.”
The Philadelphia Press, one of Forney’s
papers says :
“The new Senator elect,' Dr. Miller, of
Georgia, claimed for Seymour a few weeks
ago, is now set down for Grant, on the au
thority of Joshua Hill, his Republican col

We presume it is hardly necessary to cor

tory of Spain is an attestation of the sterling
virtues of her people, which, however she
may be depressed for the present, invests
with unusual interest every struggle she
makes for liberal and-materinl progress. Can
England itself, show such a record of vitality
of race, and of stubborn and eventually sue- .-
cessful resistance to foreign invasion as Spain *
can exhibit? Farfromit. England was suc
cessively overrun by Danes, Saxons, Normans;
but Spain, invaded by the Moors in 711; de
spoiled of her finest provinces,, her people
cpiupelled t.o find a refuge"in the mountains
of -the Asturias, and her fugitive chiefs hold
ing a council in’a cavern, kept up a war of
resistance with but little intermission till
1492. The annals of'history maybe searched

ish nation straggled to tfirow off’ the Moorish
jfoke, a grand consummation wjiioh was ac
complished in that magnificent reign of Fer- :
dinand and Isabella, resplendent with the:
glories of two hemispheres.
Scarcely had Spain emerged from this long
night of centuries,- springing like the tropi
cal sun, suddenly and lull orbeii from the
darkness, when she, who had for so long a
period been convulsed iu a. life and death
struggle for own. existence; gave birth,
through the enlightened patronage of her
court to Christopher Columbus, to a new
world. The names of her great Captains, De r
Leon and De Cordova, and of her illustrious
statesmen, Mendoza and Ximenes, are. indis
solubly linked with that brilliant period of
her history, and gave the impetus to that
career of greatness which made her lor two
centuries the first country ia Euiope. Not
withstanding the siihscqiffciit decline of Spain
in material strength, her insurrection against.
French rule in 1S08, ivheu half a million If
combatants waged a guerilla warfare lor four
years against the usurpers,, and illustrated
their- heroism by the immortal,defence of
Saragossa, Gerona, Cadiz, Tarragona and Va
lencia, demonstrated; that tfic lofty courage
and inflexible purpose of the Spanish nature
had survived the decadence of its political
power. "With a national character that has
much of the grave austerity, pride and perse
verance of the Romans, modified in some
degree by the pacific and practical tenden
cies of the age, with one of the finest cli

surpassed by any race oil fhtf’ continent, it is
reasonable to conclude that there are ele

) “Near Denver,” says the Frontier Index,
“possibly twenty-eight or thirty miles away,
was located’a small settlement of white citi
zens with their families. A few days ago all
the men but three or four were out hunting.
Shortly after their leaving home a band of
fiends, numbering one hundred and fifty,
descended upon, this peaceable abode. The
-men were killed anil scalped; the dwellings
were burned, with contents. These scenes
we are accustomed to hear of every day, but
that which follows seems incredible: Seven
teen women and girls were token out and
every one ravished by the blood-thirsty hell
hounds—not once, nor twice, but six, eight,
twelve, and one of them forty times. Not
satisfied with this, they were mostly dismem
bered, hacked to pieces, some of them even
having the bowels tom out and flung in their
feces. Every one still living was compelled
by cuts and slashes of the knife and blows
across,the face to stand and witness the tor
tures of the victims. ' One poor woman was
found alive with three arrows stuck into her
person. She livediong enough to relate the
horrible tale. <r;
“General Sherman attempted to make a
speech at Denver, and was hooted down: He
would have been mobbed "for saying that ‘the
Indians are now quiet; there is no. more, dan
ger;’ but the civil authorities protected him.
As it was, he was hung and burnt in effigy by
the excited, indignant people. To prove
that Sherman’s words belied his own belief;
he took along three complies of cavalry to
protect him when he went up the country.

In the name of impartial- suffrage Congress
has forbidden Virginia, Texas and Mississippi
to vote at the oncoming election, arid itis
now desired to. know whether the votes of
those States lire to bq. counted as making up
the total vote of the Electoral College. If so,
that total will be 317, arid 159 necessary to
elect If not the total will be 294 ; necessa
ry to elect, 148. The point seems to have
been left open as placing a discrepancy of
eleven votes "at the disposal of Congress, to
manipulate according as, in the light of the
election returns, the interests of moral ideas
may require. - If .Seymour should get 148
votes, it would be no election, and must go
to'the Honse ; .if Grant should get 148, it
would be all right, a fair election,-will of the
people, glorious.triumph, and so on. Let us
have peace, if we have to cheat for it.—Xeic

. H s a * fi ♦. .
Salem, Mass., September 28.—Gen. Butler
made a speech to the Republican Convention-
to-day, accepting the nomination for Con-'
gress. He referred to those who had opposed
his. nomination, classing them with Lee,
Beauregard, Forrest and Booth, and charging
them with raising $400,000 to defeat his
nomination, which he considered equivalent
to his election- - Re rpqrunmends .those mal

could be found. He denounced those who
opposed the regular nomination of the Re

be carried on as an army is governed. As to
the alleged rumors that Grant does not favor
his «(Butler’s) election, he said he was too
much a friend of Grant uot to brand snch ru
mors as unauthorized, and offered to resign
the nomination if a letter ever could he pro
duced from Grant or Colfax desiring the Re
publicans of his district uot to vote for him.
On the finance jpuSitioii he claimed to stand
with Senators Sherman and Morton, and on
the only test question in the House, he voted
with sixty-one Republicans on that subject.
He said he fully concurred in the position of
the Chicago platform, requiring the payment

Terrible Encounter with Rattlesnakes.
Two young men, named respectively
William and Christopher Rhodes, living in
Liberty Township, in this county, while
hunting in the woods one afternoon of last
week, being tired, sat down on a log to rest:
They had been there but a few moments when
a hissing sound near by attracted their at
tention. On looking abont, they observed a
huge rattlesnake coiled at their feet, darting
his fiery rforlped tongue at them altertiately.
One of the young men, with great presence
of mind quietly-lowered his gun and shot-the
reptiie'-tirfdfigh the head; whereupon', another
about the same size, darted beneath the feet
of William Rhodes, and into a hole in the
log immediately under where he had been
sitting. The young men laid aside their
guns, armed themselves with clubs, and pre
pared for a desperate encounter with their
terribly venomous foe, and; -warp- about to
proceed to an attack on his fortress, when, to
their horror, ont he cam ;, followed by what
seemed to them, a whole army of tiie ferocious
reptiles. The young men, naturally much
Him tliougnt to retreat but perceiving tliGui -
selves surrounded, and no alternative for them
hut to surrerideV or fight, they determined to
stand their ground and take their chances in
conflict with a foe ten times more terrible
than' a whole tribe of the.' most ferocious
savages. Happily for them, the snakes, after
hissing and sputtering aronnd, and exhibiting
their braggadocio for a short time, to the
terror of the young men, all except one re
treated into the hole.:: Taking advantage of
this, the young men attacked the remaining
shake and dispatched him in short order, then
quietly awaited the movements of those in
side. They had waited but a few moments
when another ventured to make his appear-
m&Jf Heijfc# rtispgfecd.iEff iUjke manner as
the first. This was repeated again arid again
until thirteen huge rattlesnakes lay “weltering
ih" their' gore,"-and--our two young heroes
stood champions of-the field.
We .did not learn the size of any of the
snakes, but our informant says they were" all
full grown, and nearly the same size.—Bobin-
inger County (Mo.) Standard, Sepl. 19.
A most extraordinary case is to be tried
shortly before the Court d’Assizes of Mar
seilles. It has just Been discovered that
three women coolly and deliberately poisoned
their husbands in order to marry again. Two
of the husbands died some months ago, the
third and last in August. All three bodies
have been exhumed, to be analyzed by medi
cal men, each of the presumed assassins be
ing 'brought in presence of her respective
victim. One of the women is forty-five years
of age, another thirty-five, and the third
scarcely twenty. As fivras can he ascertained
*at present, they appear to have been assisted
in their crime by a fourth woman—a necro

have inspired the deed and helped to accom

soldiers at Indianapolis, to which your "letter
invited me on the 23d instant. Brit beyond
the great gratification I should experience in
meeting so many of my old cotripanions in
arras, and mingling our memories of the past
with recollections of future efforts and sacri
fices for the honor of the land and flag we
love, my presence there would accomplish
little more than a simple statement of my
views on the chief issues which now agitate
the country.- I believe onr free institutions
arid highest material interests are in grave
periL I shall, therefore, perform a solemn
and responsible duty to my fellow soldiers
and countrymen, who love this nation more
than party," by stating what I think the most
vital issues before the public in the approach
ing Presidential election. ^
Above all other questions—expenditures,
taxation, bonds, “greenback^” or anything
else—stands that of restoring the people of
the JVinthera States to hopeful, cheerml self-
government. Restore them this, and os cer
tainly as day follows the sun our political

counts, with all their evils and complications,
will disappear from the books of onr business
men. Believing, with all my soul, that the
preservation or orir Government from des
potic changes, and all these inestimable bles
sings depend upon the restoration of the
Southern people to wholesome, cheerful self-
government, I am equally certain that it can
be done, and. dare pledge my honor and life
that they wills ‘ "
for them that they will give and observe all
proper guarantees to renounce secession,
slavery, and their dependent issues to protect,
educate and elevate the freedmen to the ex
ercise of all the franchise they enjoy in Ohio,
Indiana or Illinois; and faithfully to perform
all the duties incumbent on them as "good
citizens nnder the *Constitntion and laws of

we will step the hopeless folly of attempting
to govern the Southern States by what we call

convictions I hold the man who would not
express and act upon them a traitor to him
self and his country, and despise the partisan
who would find fault with any reasonable
steps he might take to bring about so great

Johnny Shrimp—His School Composi

I don’t jnst know what it means. I guess it
is a sort of sickness. People who have this
sickness meet together in the evening and
howl and talk. Pa has ’em bad. He goes
ont five nights in the week and doesn’t stay
at home the other night. He has ’em so bad
that he can’t walk straight when he comes
home.
I used to think politics was something good
to eat.
Ma says she thinks it is something good to
drink.
I went once to a meeting where they all
had politics bad. A man got up and called
another man who wasn’t there all sorts of
names. He said he belonged to the other
party. He said the country was gone to ruin,
and we should all be ground to powder in
the crash. 1 told ma I thought he was talk

A Question of "Veracity.—It will
membeied that sometime since a .despatch
purporting to be from Gen. Hatch, at New
Orleans, was published, in which the General
stated his fears that an attack would be made
upon a Radical procession which was soon to.
take place in the Crescent City, and asking'
instructions from the War Department This
publication, while it afforded the Radical par
ty North much political fuel for the campaign,
greatly aroused the indignation of the citi
zens of New Orleans, who pronounced the
dispatch a positive slander upon them. They
declared that Gen. Hatch, when he penned
the telegram, knew it was false, as could be
proven by every respectable white man in the
city. The General, finding the city getting
almost too worm to hold him, entered a de
nial of the whole thing, and now says he sent
no snch dispatch to the War Department, al
though the official reply has been published.
Application was made at the War Department
yesterday for on inspection of the original
telegram, r bnt' it was refused. . The refusal
goes far to prove that the publication was cor
rect or the Department would probably have
allowed at least the correction to be made,
which seems to be due to Gen. Hatch if he
has been so grossly misrepresented.—Cor.

The Army Worm.—A _
yesterday a pocket full of cotton bol ,
one-half to two-thirds grown, perforated by
the army worm, and some of the bolls partial
ly eat up. Many of these bolls had fallen
from the stalk. He also exhibited the worm
in its different stages. After stripping the
stalk of its leaves and perforating and eating
half grown bolls, they webbed themselves
up near an inch long, became of dark brown
color, which hatches out something like a
butterfly, with a light silky fur. These are
left in abundance in the fields. What effect
they are to.produce on another crop, we are
at a loss to determine. There will certainly
be no top crop to cotton this year—late cot
ton consequently feres badly.
We have seen no planter who now «
to make more cotton than from one-half to
two-thirds of what he planted for. Prospects
for the staple are certainly gloomy.—MUiedge-
