There is a decrease of one-quarter I 1 of a mill for charitable institutions, one- i Ju quarter of a mill for the General Assent- of bly and one-sixth of a mill in printing, an Public.schools and Interest on debt re- eu main at the saute figure (two mills,) and there is an increase of one mill for deli- i ciencies. The sum total is i) "?-!> mills. which can be further reduced to 70fil,r() when deficiencies are got rid of.

H. CHAMBKKLAIX, (Governor. .<?. Senator Bayard on the Situation. The distinguished Delaware Senator ice his return home from his Southn visit l.as been interviewed by a corspondent of the Tribune, and cxpresshimself freely npon current political nif*s. 1 lit: returns his acknowledgements for e kindness \vhk:h he received at the >nth, and expresses his gratification the decrease of sectional jealousy, as hibited during his recent visit. Evy where and fiotn all classes he heard prcssions of satisfaction at the aboliin of slavery, and though carpet-bagrs and adventurers still prevented the justmeut of kindly rotation between e races, yet good feeling was rapidly sorting itself and producing its naturresults in peace, good orderand secuy. The Civil Rights bill lias proved lead letter in the South, tjnd the col?d people everywhere recognized cir social inferiority to the whites. Everywhere in the South where the ople have been sutlered to regain con>1 of their lo-jal at tails, there was the latest advance in material prosperity, d this fact furnishes the strongest arment airainst the policy of force and jscriptiun reeomm'ended by President ant, and which came near being opted by the last Congress. In agriIturc the people are doing well, and : rapidly appreciating the value ot' .'ersified industry and varied crops. ie want of capital at the South had ated a currency hunger, which was ignt to be appeased by the hsue of [ier money, hut he relied upon the od sense of the South to bring the rrcncy back at the earliest practical riod to a specie basis. "{rant is using every effort to secure : Republican nomination. The true I icy of the Democrats is thus an in iced : " Discussions in regard to its ion would hunt this time, of course, .'mature. The duty of the Democratparty in the mean time is to maintain organization by insisting upon an herence to its time-honored and contutioual principles. Its great objcct rmld be to obtain the confidence of i' country, and the only way to do is is to prove that they deserve the nfaience of the country. There ould be no avoidance of any impornt issue, and the personal ambitions candidates should be totally disrerded' and the interests and welfare of od government should alone be kept view. The Democratic party should t only seem to be, but be in fact, the istworthy guardian of the nation's nor and credit and of the just interis of every citizen. The country is k of the low tone which has characrized President Grant's administraiii i:i almost every department, and e better classes of his own party are sick of it as any of us; but unless ey feel sure that a change of admiuration is to produce real reform and t expose the country to new dangers, ey will probably take no action alnst his re-election. 1 think thai n. Grant's re-election, in the face of i utter unfitness for the place he ocpie.s, and his marvelous incapacity to predate the high nature of the irust power and its responsibility, would use me? to despair of the capacity of r people for self-government, and in eu, or me conn nuance or civu aim ligious liberty in this country." The National Grange. Secretary O. it. Kelley in his report ys;? In the history of organizations our ilor is the greatest achievement of xlern times. Ancient history tells us the Elusinian Mysteries, whore both iile and female, old and young, were milled to membership, and Ceres, the nldess of Agriculture, was worshipd, to whom they built costly temples, d all Greece flocked to join in the erred rites.

This is a move in e rifjht direction, and sets an exam2 which should be acted upon in our *n State.

The Legislature met on Tuesday of; the past week, ami adjourning over fori Thanksgiving Day, has as yet gone! very little into the busiuessof the ses-! sion. As usual we may expect n session of several months, with a postponement of the most important business of the session, until after the holidays. Among this we may rank the election of judges, circuit and supreme, which will not come up until next year. The sweets of the Legislative position are too pleasant to the members to be rashly curtailed. We trust, however, that the desire to inane capiiai ui mi- wumi^ i Full elections will inspire them with j ;i desire to make some show of economy. The unanimous support of the Governor's veto might be regarded as a hopeful sign, but for the fear that the House proposes to t?a*s one equally objectionable and more consonant with its wishes. Lieut-Governor Gleaves in his address to the Senate said : There is, it appears a disposition on the part of some to change the text books of the public schools. The books now iu use in the free common schools, I think, ample and sufficient for the needs of the people, and any change would be unwise and injudicious. It is hoped that the General Assembly ' will refuse to sustain the change pro- , posed." In reference to his executive interference he lisclaimcd any intention to assume prerogatives that did not pertain to his office, and stated his earnest desire that his duties might be more clearly defined by the General Assembly.
