When thc ves? sel left Bremen war had been declared for forty-eight hours, pindering it a hazardous un? dertaking to put to sea closely scrutinized by one of the most powerful fleets on the ocean. The Union, however, resolved to make the trial, and left in due time witji a large cargo ot emigrants. As she stearne"! by the mouth of the Weser she sighted the German iron? clad fleet, which was then sinking craft and rendering the waters of the Weser Impassable lo ships of war. She also saw the same movements at the Yada. Once past this point, the Union, instead of going to Southampton, immediately headed for the northern passage, in order to avoid the French cruisers then sailing about the English chan? nel. The captain was now at sea, and at once proceeded to disguise his vessel. He painted a red stripe around the smokestack to imitate Williams & Onion's vessels, and having thus got under false colors he had a jolly passage. All was plain sailing until off Montauk Point, when a strange steamer, not showing her colors, was seen, and the Union was discreetly. turned on a safe course under all steam, and was soon out of reach. The Union ls now at the Hoboken docks, where she must remain until sold or the war ends. This extraordinary passage of the Union, on the eve of war, by vigilance keeping out of harm's way and the the French cruisers, was certainly a remarka? ble undertaking. The State Debt more than Doublet! in Two Year*. The Scott Ring know that for them there is no middle path. They mast persuade the people to condone their offences by electing them again to office; or they must, after a full trial, stand before the public as convict? ed thieves and oluDder?rs. The popular vote in.October will determine the fate of the Ring, and they are busily engaged in the endeavor to convince the people that the Scott government is wise, honest and econ? omical. This is their sole remaining hope, and their Paid Organ is now striving, with the calm desperation of despair, to prove that the debt of the State "has been increas "ed, by the Republican party, just $700, OW, "and not nine millions, as, with wilful and "malicious falsehood, is charged." This is a bold way of meeting the asser? tion, reiterated in these columns, that the State debt has been more than doubled dur? ing the rule o( the Bh-g; but as no charges of financial mismanagement have been made by us which cannot be proved by the official statements of the officers whom they condemn, we are ready to enter the li3ts with the champion of Robbery and Corrup? tion, and allow the public to be the judge whether our assertions are either malicious or false. * 1. The debt of the State on thc 1st Octo? ber, 1867, according to the official report of Comptroller-General Leaphart, was $3,407, 300; and, on the 1st October, 1868, accord? ing to the official report of Comptroller-Gen? eral Neagle, it was $?,407,306 27. To this must be' added the bonded debt incurred during the Scott administration, which the Organ"of the. Bing states thus: For redemption of bills receivable... .$500,000 For funding bills of the Bank of the State.:.1,250,000 For payment of the Interest on the public debt.7.1,000,000 For relief of the Treasury.1,000.000 For Laud Commission. 700,000 . ? $4,450,000 Add total debt, October 1, 1867... 5,407,300 Total debt.."...':.$9,857,300 According, therefore, to the official state? ment of the Organ of the Ring, the public debt, in two years, has been nearly doubled, without taking into account the $4,000,000 of Blue Ridge Railroad bonds, which, as we will show, are a certain and not a contingent liability ot the State. By their own state? ment, then, the Ring acquit the Reform par? ty of malicious falsehood. But as much can? not be said for the Ring. Governor Scott, in his mejaage of 1869, (page 4,) says "the "State debt is comparatively small, amount, "ing in the aggregate to $6,183,349." And the Comptroller-General, in his report for 1869, sets down the fumled debt of the State, (page S7, ) at the same amount. Here is a deliberate official statement of the pub? lic debt, and that statement does not show the whole truth by more than $3,000,000: Neither Governor Scott nor Comptroller General Neagle includes in his estimate of $6,183,349, the past t ue Fire Loan bonds, or the State bonds in the hands of, or pawned by, the financial agent of the State. Adding these amounts, we make the actual debt on November 1, 1869: According to Governor Scott.$G,183,349 Fire Loan bonds, past due. 484,444 In hands of financial agent. 2,700,000 ' Actual debt..?-..$9,367,793 ! Governor Scott arid Comptroller-General Neagle were, therefore, guilty of a falsehood io speaking of the total debt as $6,183,349. And we claim that it was a "malicious false "hood," because the effect of ita publication would naturally be to enhance, without good cause, the price of State bonds, of which, according to the Organ of the Ring, Gover? nor Scott held a large amount. This is, wc hold, an unfortunate turning of the tables for the defenders of Ihe administration, and dis? poses summarily of ihe accusation of "mali "cious falsehood" made against this paper and the Reform party. . While admitting the fatal fact that the Scott Ring have added $4,450,000 to the public debt in two years, the Party Organ endeavors to evade responsibility by the plea that the whole amount, (exceptin0 the issue of bonds for funding bank bills, and for the Land Commission.) was actually contracted by preceding administrations who3e legacy it was. In support of this plea, tho Ring Organ says that when thc Scott Party came into power, (1,) there was not a dollar iu the Treasury; (2,) there wa3 a floatiug debt, due and unpaid, of $955,073 ; and, (3.) the unpaid interest ou the State debt to July I, 1868, was $355,204 32. Tl" t is to 3ay, if these statements be correct, the Ring had to provide for: Floating debt.$995,973 Interest on debt. *! "..:,??! Total.$1,351,177 And they provided for this debt by issuing bonds as follows: For bills receivable.$ 500,000 For interest on debt. 1,000,000 For relief of thc T: asury. 1,000,000 Total.$2,500,000 The Ring, therefore, taking their own statements as the truth, piled upa debt of $2,500,000, (to be paid in coin,) to provide for a debt of $1,351,177 in currency. This is enough to justify the charges made against Scott and his clique. But we do not admit that the facta are trnly stated. On the con? trary, we charge that two of the three state? ments made by the Ring Organ are very wide of the truth. L It is untrue that there was not a dollar ih the State Treasury. On the 1st May, 1868, when Mr. Treasurer Hood'turned over his accounts, there was $95,546 26 in the State Treasury, the receipt of which amount is admitted by Mr. Treasu? rer Parker in his j-eport of the receipts and expenditures at the State Treasury from May 1st, 1868, to October 31, 1868. 2. It is untrue (or the official record is incorrect) that there was a floating debt of S995,973 when the Ring came into power. According to the report of Mr. Treasurer Hood, the whole amount needed for carrying on the State Government from May 1, 1868, (when the Ring took charge,) to the end of the fiscal year, was $265,727. Is it then pos? sible that there could have been at that time "due and unpaid," a floating debt of nearly a million? The statement is absurd. And we are not without more specific proof. Gov? ernor Scott, in his message of 1869, says: "When the present State Government came "into power, I found that the Provisional "Government, controlling the State from the "close of the war, hadcontracted many debts . . . among these liabilities was a floating "debt amounting to $477,965. This debt was -ilue to various county officials, sheriffs, "magistrates, coronera and other claims -.against the State. There had also been put "in circulation bills receivable to the amount "of $222,000." Now we begin to see-day? light. Governor Scott, whose word cannot bo doubted, sets the-floating debt, when he came into power, at $699,965; while his own Paid Organ declares-that this debt was .$995, 973. Here is a difference of $300,000 be? tween two infalliblfis. And this is not ali Governor Scott says that on May I, 1868, there were in circulation bills receivable to the amount of $220; 000. But Governor Orr, in his message- (page 7,) says: "On "the first day of May, 1868, there was out "atanding and in circulation of these bills re? ceivable only $135,687." Now. can it be expected that any faith shall be reposed in the solemn declarations of Scott and his Or? gan, when they contradict each: other, and are, both of them, contradicted by Governor Orr and the State Treasurer ander his ad? ministration? We deny that the Ring ad? ministration were without money, or that they had to provide for, as they claim, a floating debt amounting to $1,351,177. We admit that the interest on the State debt to July 1, 1868, was $355,204, according to Governor Scott; and that there were in circulation bills receivable amounting to $135,697, a3 stated by Governor Orr. We will throw in $100,000 for miscellaneous claims. This is the result : Interest lo July I, 1868. $355,204 Billa receivable. 135,687 Sundry claims. 100.000 Total. $590,S91 This is the whole amo'int that the Scott Government had to deal with, and in pro? viding for it they issued State bonds to the amount of $2,500,000. We need say no more. One further statement is j made by the Or? gan of the Ring. It admits that the debt is nearly doubled in two years, and by its own figures convicts itself of conspicuous inex? actness. But lt declares that the four mil? lions of Blue Ridge bonds are "in no legal or ' technical sense a debt to-day," and says "they are at mo3t only a contingent debt, "never, in all human probability, an actual "debt." Our reply to this is contained in Governor Scott's message for 1809, page 3. Governor Scott there shows that it will re? quire $8,000,000, instead of $4,000,000, to put the Blue Ridge Railroad in running order, and says : "It mu3t be apparent_that tue first mort? gage, ($4,000,000,) covering the entire property of the company, and the work but little more than half completed, the whole investment must remain as dead capital until tho means are provided to finish the road_In any failure _to open communication with the West, the State must be the sufferer. It would be add? ing to a direct investment of a million and a half of dollars, a contingent liability ot four millions of dollars, neither of which can bs made to pay the accruing interest without the expenditure of more capital for the completion of the road." _ This is strong enough : but Governor Scott, growing more emphatic, tells the Legislature they must assi3t the company to complete the road, or must "repeal the act of "September, 1868, whereby four million dot "lars more of bonds, guaranteed by the "State, tooidd bc sunk and made worthless." Thi3 is ali that we have to say at present on the subject of the State debt. We have shown (1) that the State debt, iucludtug the Blue Ridge bonds, is admitted by the Ring to be nearly $14,000,000, as compared with $5,500,000 in 1867; (2,) that Governor Scott, in his meaaage to the General Assembly in 1869, set down the total debt, (exclusive cf Blue Ridge bonds,) at $6,183.349, while, in truth, it was $9,367,793; (3,) that the Ring began business witb $95,546, instead of without a cent; (4,) thi-.t the Ring Organ de? clares that the floating debt in Muy, 1868, to be paid by the Riug, waa $1,351,177, while Governor Scott declares ic was only $699, 965, and while Governor Orr's report makes it about certain that thc floating debt did -not exceed $600,000; (5,) that Governor Scott stated that on March, l&Gs, there were in circulation $220,000 of bills receivable while Governor Orr and Treasurer Hood show that the amount was only $135,637; (6,) that the Ring have issued $2,500,000 in bonds, payable in coin, to meet the flouting debt ot $600,000 in currency ; (7,) that Gov? ernor Scott declared, less tiian a year ago, that unless the State furnish the whole $3, 000,000 or $9,000,000 required to complete the Blue Ridge Road, the $4,000,000 of bonds of lh*i wwupwy, guaranteed by the State, will "be sunk and worthless." This is exposure enough for one day, and enough, we believe, to impress upon the peo? ple more firmly than ever the urgent neces? sity of Retrenchment and Reform. A i'UBUC MEETING was held at the Town }lz\\, In Olieraw, on the 2Gth ult., to form a club to co-operate with thc Union Reform party. A good number of the citizens of th' j town, and ? considerable number from dif? ferent parts of tho county, were pres- . Great harmony prevailed. A const itu.u.n was adopted, obleera elected, and thc ax--cu? ti ve Committee requested to ir.vite Judge Carpenter and General Butler to address the citizens ci Chesterfield on tko SM: of August, or during court week. ' What they Think of the Sew. S A subscriber tells us what is thought of THE NZWS ia Marlboro*. He says: "The course pursued'by TUE NEWS meets the approbation o? all practical men who are not in sympathy with the Radical party, and ' we, in this community, hope you will continue to pour red-hot shot into tho ranks ol the Ring until the political battle in which we are en? gaged results in a glorious victory for the friends of Reform." ' Mathema?cal Novels. A fly once lit npon the horn of an ox and buzzed. "If I weigh you down," said he, "I will ?o away !" Bub the ox replied: "I knew not when you camer and care not when- you go."-Esop's Fable?. The celebrated XIX Century, like- the j above famous fly, has in its August number, perched upon the coffin of Mr. Dickens,, and "buzzed." The purport of the- Buzz is this, that Mr. Dickens is not a great novelist, but that j George Eliot is, and', in that remarkable opinion we may as safely leave the XIX Cen-1 tury aa the ox did the fly. But in thi3 instance we have a philosophi? cal fly, and it gives its reasons for buazing j as it does. The principal support for the-] poaitico that Mr. Dickens-is not a great now-1 eliat, iain the following sentence: "ffiB power over the hearts of his readers "arises in a great degree from what, critically "considered, must be regarded as a fatal de "/eci-a false, or al least imperfect conception "of life, which led bim to exaggerate certain "phases of human nature,, and by viewing hu^ "manley partially and in a narrow and restrict? ed, light, to produce thereby an intensity of "effect which fascinates and enthralls the sen "sibiilties, but never touches the reason." Truly, our fly is funny. Mr. Dickens's "power arises from a fatal defect" Would it not be well if some of the modern maga? zines bad a "fatal defect** of that kind? | And, "by-the-by," the XIX Century ought] not to say, "By .viewing, ?c., to produce "thereby." One "by" is enough. Socare-) less a blunder cannot be allowed in any com? position higher than a lulla-by ba-by. But , the point of the sentenee is this, Mr. Dtck : ens enthralls the sensibilities, but does not touch the reason, therefore he is not a great novelist.-Q. E. D. ls it the province of the novelist to appeal to the reason, and not to the sensibilities ? If so, Euclid, and not George Eliot should be the XIX Century^ beau ideal of a great novelist. Did anybody ever hear of a logi? cal novel ? Surely, this is a modern discov? ery, which was reserved for the XIX Cen? tury. The thing is so very funny that we are inclined, in charity, to think the XIX | Century sat up too late the night before its issue, and penned this gem in a sleepy con? dition. We see something at the end about a '-sphere" and a "tangent.'' Perhaps the writer got novels confused with mathemat? ics, and was really proving Mr. Dickens to be no mathematician. If so. the opinion would be less striking, but more correct. Shall we have more light on the subject in the next number? ?Jarus.
