We accept the challenge and give it below, I * rhatim. We have dared the 7/< quirer. several times, i" answer questions which we propounded, but it lias always evaded them. Let tie public judge which is the fairer journal, the GAZETTE, or the Inquirer. The article which we are ' 'dared" to publish, is as follows: EQUAL TAXATION. The Democratic platform was constructed with an "Equal Taxati a" plank intended as a catch-penny for the unwary. Let us see how it would work. The Inter nal Revenue Laws, framed by a Republican Congress, apportioned the taxes, absolutely required for the national support, in such a manner as to bear heaviest upon those who could best bear them, ai d iigbtiy, or not at all, on the poor. Under that law to-day no iiian pays an income tax unless his income is over a thousand dollar.-. Under this law scarcely filty men in Bedford county pay an income tax. and the great majority of the people pay no government tax at all. This is judicious and statesmanlike; exempting the poor and middle cla.-- s entirely from the burthen of taxation. Truly this is not equal taxation, but it is the taxation that pays the debt of the nation without laying its burthen noon the poor and the needy, the widow and the orphan aud the day laborer. Under it the poor man and his children have all their rights and liberties preserved, and are per mitted to occupy their homes in peace unmo lested by the tax-gatherer's call. What would the catch-penny "Equal Taxation" of the eoppernetm uirm uu r- < us see how Equal Taxation would work. Equal Taxation would require that every man who owns a dollar'.- worth of property should pay his exact proportion of the amount of taxes req l ite to pay the debts of the nation. It would carry the tax-gatherer into the poor man's cabin to Gich the last dollar of his hard earned wages for taxes and leave his children to famish for bread. It wouid toll the widows basket of meat aud tax the poor man's pig. It wou d lay the heavy hand upon and exact the last penny from high aud low, rich and poor, alike, never considering whether there was left a shelter for the widow and her orphans or clothing or bread for the starving po<,-. Such would be the result of tho "riqual Taxation" coucerniug which Cop perheadism makes such a hue and cry. True it is that the Republican Congress has not made an equal tux law, but it is a just, fair, righteous and liberal one. It screens the poor in their poverty, an 1 lays no additional burthen upon the shoulders already bowed with the cares of poverty and want. The ilt publican party is the poor man's friend and exempts him from taxes of every kind. U pperheadisra vaunts itself upon " Equal luxation," and would lay a tax upon the last dollar of the way-faring poor. Let the poor man think upon this, and consider whether he prefers to be taxed. If he does let him vote the Copperhead ticket, and cry out for "Equal laxation," aud he will get it. But it he wishes to continue free from taxes, and let those who can afford it pay them, let him vote the whole Republican ticket. Let the smad farmer and mechanic, and every man whose income is less than SIOOO consider whether he prefers to be taxed or not. If he is ambitious of figuring in the Internal Reve nue tax list, let i.im by all means vote for Seymour and Blair, but if he prefers to re main free from taxes, as he now is, let him not omy own. but persuade his neigh bor to cast his ballot fer Grant and Colfax and the podey that exempts the poor man from taxation. Doubtless, the Inquirer man imagines that his article has .-mashed into gplinters the eternai principle of Equal Taxation. A lew words will undeceive hiui. It is true that but few people pay an income tax. It is also true that the bondholders pay only an income tax. But it is not true that those who have no incomes, pay no taxes. The poorest man in the country pays taxes — not an income tax, but an outcome tax. On every pound of lea ho buys, a tax of 25 cents gold is la;J by the government, and as he has no gold, he pays it in greenbacks a id he is charged the difference between gold ai.a greenbacks, which makes the tax on h:s pound of tea just 37 cents. On eveiy pound of coffee the poor man buys, he is charged by the government a tax of 5 cents vi gold, Wiiieh he is compelled to pay in greenbacks, which makes the tax on his pound of coffee, just 7j eents. On every pound of imported sugar the poor man bays, the government charges hiiu a tax of 4 cents in gold, or 6 cents in greenbarks. Ihe poor man, the consumer, pays these .axes to the retail merchant, the retailer pays them to the wholesale dealer, the wholesale dealer pays them to the importer, iit.l the importer pays them to the govern ment. Ihe poor man and the middle classes arc also taxed, in the same way, upon articles u clothing, meat (they must help pay their fcr - s hcense) medicines (they must pay f'li ■? duties on many of them) articles of match"?( sr !egal Ijaycrs (stamps again) t ixes V: mps onoe more) etc., etc. These payment oKE? n i?. SUre > arc a bl' !l(id to the bond.- whilst ', n . tcrest 0D government pay nothing but 6 an ° f bonds that by mukine . : 'L ' orno tas ' , and evade with the A-Lor? !TT nS and tempering Thus every nan i, Internal Revenue, a dollar in hii "5l? Wns a >•" or has eminent to pay the b Y. tb ? £°v tn gold, whilst the Lond/l 'n mler^ t any taxes at alt Vs to tl f 1 "- " carcJ H munity. l e t Jr . tho , f ? r ming com th? r 1 ToWnshi f *•} A former, of ordinary 7amij{ *wdH use, say one batrelof sugar nerved „ about 200 _ pounds; say about 5 pounds of tea, and 100 pounds of coffee. The musiins clothing and other articles of a similareharac ter purchased by him during the year, take oat of his pocket, as government I duties at the lowest figure, $20.00. Leaving out of too question, stamp duties, and other I rsfter" v-h-ch w-h, f\; r )v N<RN intp the account, bis government taxes, there fore, are as follows: 1 barrel saggar, taxed, $12.00 opourids tea, taxed, 1.80 100 pounds coffee, taxed, 7.50 Musiins, clothing, Ac., 20.00 Total $41.85 Now, say this farmer raises 200 bashcls of wheat per annum, here is a tax of upwards of 20 cents on each bushel, paid by him to the government. This goes to pay the bondholders, to keen up the Negro Bureau and to pay off the Standing Army. When wheat i- worth $2.25 per bushel, the farmer realizes but 2.05, and when the difference between gold and greenbacks, is deducted, he gets but $1.30, Meanwhile the bondhol der draws his interest in gold, pays no State, County or Township taxes, and evades the income tax. Hence the Demo crats propose Equal Taxation as a remedy for the present defective because unequal system. Equal Taxation will compcll the bond holding nabobs and aristocrats to pay their share of the taxes, and of course, will proportionally lessen the taxes ofthe farmer, middle and the poorer classes. Now, ice dare the Inquirer to publish this article. Come now, Lutz, toe the mark ! — Gazette. THE Gazette , no doubt, thinks it hasdone something exceedingly smart. Let us see. We spoke of excise or direct taxes as every one can see who reads for himself. It lias evaded every point in our article and launched off in a tirade against the tariff du ties laid on imported goods, a question not mentioned in our article. It has run away Irom the issue entirely and for the very good reason that it could not deny the truth of our statements. Now lot us see what the Gazette has forgotten to tell its readers. After having gat safely out of range of every thought in our article, it deliberately sets to work to count up the tax on sugar and cof fee in order to make out that- the Repub lican party is stiii taxing the poor man, but forgot to say that in these few articles the rich man is taxed as well as the poor, and the worst it has made out of it is, that in these two or three articles all are taxed alike because it would be impossible to do otherwise. How can it as the advocate of Equal Taxation complain of this? But the most brazen faced presumption and impudence is displayed in going back on its own record. The Democratic party has always been a free-trade parfy, and the Gazette has ever advocated its principles. Now one of the measures most strenuoudy insisted upon by these >ame free-traders has always been, that a tariff should only be for revenue and further that in order to compel all to bear an equal portion of the burden, these very arti cles of sugar, coffee and tea should be heav ily taxed. The argument was, that as every body poor and rich alike used these articles the poor as well as the rich would have to help pay the tax. How can the Gazette, af ter having advocated the taxation of the poor man's tea, sugar and coffee for twenty years, now permit itself, in a gush ofunguarJ ed generosity, to take up the poor man's cause and abuse the Republican party for what has almost always been djne since the inauguration of our government, and for what it, as the organ of the Democratic par ty, has always advocated. But the Gazette has also forgotten to tell its readers that as an opponent of a protective tariff the Democratic party has always been in favor of excise taxes and that if its avowed poli- ,— j jai iu an,, foot of land and the poo;- man's house eend garden as well as his-cow and pig would be taxed. Now we dare the Gazette to deny these stubborn facts. The Democratic par ty lias always been the advocate of free-trade, and as such, also the advocate of excise tax es of houses and lands and personal property; for the necessary expenses of tho Govern ment must be met, and if it is not to be ob tained by taxes on imported, manufactured articles, something the Democratic party has always opposed, t.hcn it must he raised by heavy taxes on sugar, coffee and tea ke. , articles that while the rich use, the poor man cannot do without, and so the poor limn is taxed by this very Demoaeitic plan; and when the taxes upon these few articles fail to meet the necessary expenses, the ro-ort must be t-> excise taxes. Now how did the Democratic party propose to raise the taxes. First it denies protection to our manufac tures. removes the duties upon foreign man ufactures of every kind ami brings us in di rect competition with the pauper labor of Euro;*-. The result has always been, when this plan has been tried, that our manufac tures stop and the agricultural resources ofthe country are left alone to bear the burden of taxes, and pn houses and lands it luu.-t be laid. Now what becomes of the Gazette's sympathy for the poor man. Instead of paying a light tax ui>on a couple of articles as he now does, he finds not only his tea, sugar and coffee taxed, but also his cow and pig, his house and garden, or if he is so un fortunate as not to own house and garden, lie is obliged to rent them of some good ar istocratic Democrat, who finds them heavily taxed and straightway lays the tax upon his poor tenant ia the shape of increased reut. Such is the Equal Taxation for | which the Gazette is so anxions. Such are the inevitable results of the policy the Ga zette has always advocated. Such is the policy it now advocates, notwithstanding its crocodile tears over the poor man's tea and coffee. True enough the poor man s tea and coffee are taxed, (and for the most of it he can thank a Democratic rebellion) but the past free-trade policy, and the present Equal Taxation cry of the Gazette aim at, taxing iu addition not only his cow and pig but al so his house and garden. For years under a Democratic State Government his house and lot were taxed, until A REPUBLICAN STATE ADMINISTRATION ABOLISHED THE STATE TAX ENTIRELY. Let the poor man read and consider. If he wants war, debt and taxation oi his house and lot, his pi:• and cow by all means let him vote the whole Democratic ticket from Seymour aud Blab down to county Auifftor. But if he wants peace and freedom from taxation, let him vote for Grant and Colfax and the whole Republican ticket. Finally; the Gazette has entirely forgotten to tell its readers that all this enormous debt and these awful taxes arc the price of a full Wooded Democratic Rebellion. WILL YOU have Grant, Colfax and PR„VC* or, Seymour, Blair and WAR is the before the people. VICTORY! " HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS FROM MAINE." GLORIOUS NEWS! 20.000 REPI BLICAN MAJORITY! Ai liM-roaso or 8,000 over last year ! We Sweep the Whole State! II hole Congressional del egation Jtepnbliran ! The news from Maine has sent a thrill of joy throughout the whole land. On Monday last the republicans elected their Governor by a majority of 20.000. an increa-o of C.OOO over last year, and carried every Con gressional district in the state. Complete returns will no doubt increase the aggregate majority. The Copperheads are mute with chagrin and astonishment and the Republi cans wild with joy and enthusiasm. Have you heard the news from Maine" is heard from every street corner as the mourners over the hopeless condition of the "Lost Cause" go about the street. Vermont struck the keynote for the fall elections, Maine has taken up the refrain and I'enusyl vania, Ohio and Indiana will prolong the strain in October, and Democratic hopes and prospects will fall like autumn leaves. M il* THEV MOM.I) TAX THE HON US. Gen. T. T. Bowie, a Democratic leader, said at a Seymour aud Blair ratification meet ing in Baltimore: "It there be any set of men I would sooner tax, it would be those men who furnished the means to carry on the most unholy war in history. 1 would not tax them as property, but 1 would tax them he cause I can read upon thei'ace of these bonds a contribution to an unholy and wicked purpose," This brief remark serves to show the true animus of the bond taxing movement. Every one knows that taxiug the bonds, is the first step toward repudiation, and that the first step onee taken all the succeeding ones are inevitable until wc reach repudia tion and national bankruptcy. The rebels wish the bonds taxed and the debt repudia ted because having been beaten they bate the union and the men who gave their money to preserve it and they desire the debt repudiated, first that they may cheat these same men who gave their money to the government in its time of need, and sec ond that they may themselves be freed front the payment of their just share of the debt ,1... 1.1—1,,U M<t<n . Again they want the debt repudiated and the government bankrupted that they may no! be compelled to help support the wid ows and orphans of the loyal soldiers, who fell fighting for Union and liberty. The whole spirit of taxation of our bonds and repudiation of our debt is the spirit of re bellion. To gratify rebels and secure their vote tho Copperheads have taken tip the cry and are actuated by no honest or pa triotic motive. The whole animus of their repudiation scheme is dishonest, unpatriotic and rebellious. Their cry of tax the bonds i-not caused by their love of the country nor their friendship for the poor man, but by a spirit of'treason and rebellion and their hatred of the men by whom and the means by which rebellion was put down. They icoald tax. the bonds became, *in the worels of this outspoken rebel, they bear upon their face the evidence that they iccre a contribution to the government to help it put down a bloody, causeless and unholy rebellion. And the men who sympathized with them, the Northern Copperheads, hate them alone for this cause. Their blatant, hypocritical sympathy and crocodile tears in behalf of the poor man arc but a shallow pretence, a brazen-faced assumption of things reluted by their record, all to hide the latent spirit of' treason and rebellion. Taxation oftbu bonds and repudiation of the debt are but rebel attempts to revive the " Lost Cause' and gain by chicanery and trickery what they could not by fair fighting, and in this as in rebellion they Lave the active aid aud syin patliy of every Northern Copperhead. Sey-- mour and Blair are their chosen loaders and every man who casts his vote for them casts a vote for the success of the rebellion and the redemption of the "Lost Cause." Their own leaders proclaim that all they fought for in the rebellion will bo gained Li the election of Seymour and Blair. OVERREACHING THEMSELVES. The copperheads and rebels came frqtn the New York convention wild with en thusiasm in behalf of a new rebellion other wise known as "The Lost Cause." From one end of the country to the other their threats of war and revolution were impu dently and boastingly paraded. AVade I Hampton, Vance, Wise, Forrest and other prominent rebels shouted in full chorus for a new rebellion, and once more essayed to ( lire the Southern heart. Theirs was an honest preaching of the Democratic gospel, but it was done without judgment and prudence. The peace loving people both North aud South, warned of what might be expected from the success of such a plat form and such candidates as Seymour and Blair, began to desert the ranks of the De mocracy by thousands. Alarmed at this unloosed for exposure of their schemes for inaugurating a new war, a cry of hush 1 hush ! 1 hush !1! is echoed over the land by this more prudent Democratic leaders. Every effort has been made to put an end to these indiscreet disclosures and it has been to some extent successful, but the people are awake to tho immense import ance pf an issue that is to dcctdo between pcaeo- and war and aro array ing themselve under tte banner of GUBXT COLFAX and- PEACE. TEN HAY ASSESSMENTS, AND TO WHOM TAXES AHE TO HE PAID. The last Legislature passed a law chang ing the manner of collecting State, county, poor and militia taxes in this county. Very few persons have had an opportunity to see the law and consequently there is some dif ference of opinion in r#feard to the assess ment of taxes ten daj ; prior to the election and to whom they should he puiJ. The old law uulhorizcd the payment of all such taxes to the collectors, hut the collectors having been entirely superseded by the Treasurer, under this late act, the question has arisen whether ten day assessments would not he entirely ignored. We have taken some pains to look up the law and find that there will he no more difficulty un der this statute than under the former. Heretofore the collector has received the tax, hereafter the constable, or when the constable refuses, special collectors, appoiut ed by the county Commissioners will receive it. The new law provides "that the asses sors of the diffi rent wards, townships and boroughs, in making the extra (ten day) assessment required bylaw, shall certify the name of the person applying to be as sessed, with the amount of tax imposed both for State and county purposes, to the constables or collectors discharging their du ties under the provisions of this aet.audthe said constables or collectors shall raxAt and receipt far all such taxes, which receipt shall be ax valid ax receiptx heretofore given by the collectors in like cases. Let every Republican voter be assessed immediately and as soon as the assessor cer tifies the list to the constable see that the tax is paid. WHO ARE THE IHSUNIONISTSt When the rebels first passed their ordi nances of secession the Copperhead party declared that they were out of the union and the government had no right to coerce them into remaining wiihiu the Union. The Re publican party declared they were not out of the Union and could not go out. When, by open and continued rebellion and bloody war, they had forfeited all their rights un der the constitution aud the republican party declared that tiny, fottld not be represented in Congress uutil they had submitted to, and accepted such terms as the loyal people of the Union deemed necessary to the peace and safety of the country, these same cop perheads, not only, claimed that they were in the Union, but that they had never been out and wore entitled to representation the moment they laid down their arms. Rebel lion and trea-on were no crimes in their opinions and ought rather to be rewarded than punished. A great hue and cry was raised against the Republican party as dis unionists, because they denied representa tion to these rebels until such time as they consented to aecept such ierms as would se cure the peace of the conntry and the per | son- and property of all its citizens. Now, when such laws are passed and governments established and all the states except three restored to their normal relation to the gen eral government, these same copperheads tHcrro -states ate not In the Union and that their governments must be over turn d aud constructed on a rebel platform l.cfore they can get properly into the Union, and this Rlair and the copperhead platform propose to do by a new rebellion, consis tency, thou art ind: t d a jewel. EQUAI, TAXATION. I 'J he Democratic platform insists on the etjual taxation of all species of property. Now the taxable property in the several counties of the state h assessedat $1,327,403, 880 of real estate and-but $438,<186,304 of personal property —the latter being less than one quarter of the entire amount. All national taxation is now laid on personal property. Real estate pays nothing directly; but when it yields an income, that payß a t-mall percentage. If the democratic platform be carried out. three-fourthsof all the national taxes paid by New York will be thrown upon the farms and houses of the people. What will Mohawk farms or Illinois prairies be worth in the market, if taxed live per cent, per annum on their valuation, under these democratic financiers?—A'ew York Evening I'ost. The same logic applies to Pennsylvania and to II dford county. Incomes and many kinds of manufactures are taxed five, per ; cent. Equal taxation would put a tax of ! i'IVE PER CENT on the valuation of every acre of land and every house and lot in the i state. Farmers of Pennsylvania, rich or poor how do you iike the prospect of a 5 : per cent on the valuation of every foot of your land? If you relish it vote for Seymour | and Blair and you will get it. A liepubli j can state administration has removed the tax from your lands. If you want this policy of removing taxes continued, vote for llartranft and Campbell aud Grant aud Col fax and you will have permanent peace, and ; soon be freed from state and national taxa I tion cutircly. ; -- —= A N EW YORK dispatch states that a large I body of railroad iuen will leave that city this week for Pittsburgh, to examine the proposed new route from Philadelphia to the Western cities, and to look at the Pennsylvania Railroad Works at Altoona, Johnstown and v.~,ier points. We do not know what the new route mentioned is, but suppose it may be the Southern Pennsylva nia aud Couucllsville. At any rate wc see no good reason why they should not examine this route, as it has long been reputed the most eligible one between these two cities. As the Pennsylvania Railroad's energies seem to have been completely exhausted on the approaches of a small tunnel, we would be pleased to see some corporation with a little more vim or a good deal better inten tions take hold of the matter. We intend to have a railroad in I hose regions and if Philadelphia has no interest in this direc tion there are other places that have and tlicy will be found without much delay.

The Coffee papers will be the next in the market we prceume, Ship em gjpng—yoq'U 010, DEBT I DEBT It TAXES HI TAXES II! Why don't the Gaaette tell its readers that a Democratic Rebellion cost the nation $5,000,000,000, and half a million of lives and is now burtheoing the country with the taxes of which it so much complains? It might also tell them that the New York platform and Blair's famous letter pledges the Democratic party to a NEW REBELLION and MORE DEUX and TAXES. The people however know pretty well whom they have to thank for all these troubles and taxes. Still it is a good plan to keep it before the peoule, so that they don't forget these old scores and new pledges. Seymour and Blair and a new war and more tuxes, or Grant and Colfax, PEACE and plenty and the payment of the debt and abolition of tho taxes is the issue of the day. THE Ilarrisburg Patriot proves that Auditor Geuerul Hartranft, ihe Radical candidate for reelection to that office, haspaidout, contrary to law, the sntn of ten thousand dollars to political or personal, favorites. — Heading Eagle The Patriot has proven no such fact. Ton thousand dollars were drawn out of the Treasury by Demoratio members of the Legislature, with warrants made out in accordance with the law on the oaths of the aforesaid Democrats setting forth that the charges were just and regular. So that if wrong was perpetrated, it was on the per jury of the uten who drew the money and not on any irregularity in tho Auditor Gen eral who endorsed the account. When a counterfeit five dollar bill is passed, the po lice do not arrest the receiver of the spuri ous money. It is the "shower" of the worthless trash who is arraigned. So with this payment of ten thousand dollars. It was drawn by Democratic chairmen of leg islative committees, who swore to the cor rectness of the accounts. They arc the parties to be condemned, because they did all the wroug in the premise. . — llarrisburg State Guard. Go to work every one who wishes success to the Republican cause and peace to the country. The time is growing short. Our prospects are brightening every day, but a township, county or district may bo doubt ful and the work of oue man may turn the scale. Vermont gave us a splendid victory, but it was because every man worked as if the issue depended on bis own efforts. Let us all go to work in the same spirit and when the hour of rejoicing comes, we can feel that we are entitled to rejoice because we have helped fight the battle and gain the victory. Let every Republican in Pennsylvania work as though the result depended on his own individual efforts and we will carry the State first for Hartranft and Campbell and then for Grant and Colfax, by such overwhelming majorities that Cop perbeadisui will nev.er dare to hope for success again within her borders. •5,000,000,000.

SOUTHERN VIEW OFTHK VERMONT ELEC TION. —The Richmond Disjmtch says of the Vermont election: If Maine shall show a gain, large or small, for the Radicals, Seymour may consider his chance of being a successor of George Washington as small.indeed. In another artiele on the same subject the Dispatch says: The National Intelligencer of yesterday adduces figures to prove that whilst the Radicals have gained largely over their last vear's majority in Vermont, tho Democrats have gained more votes relatively than they. That is to say, whilst the Radicals gain 10,- 000 on 32,000—n0t quite a third— the Dem ocrats gain nearly 4,000 on less than 12,000. This kind of figuring, we need hardly add, will not materially gasjut in the election of our crHnlidates, POLITICAL ITEMS. Thk New York Woild very significantly advisee ita readers not to bet on the Presiden tial election.

The New York Derail of 'he filh instatif says that "it is hard to believe that the Demo cratic Convention settled upon Seymour with" any great hopes of success. The ruling idea, after all, was, perhaps, that he should prepare the way as a regular Democrat for a regular Democratic victory under Pendleton in 1872." Brick Pomekoy is studying up his pedigree. He recently wrote to Senator Pomeroy, in quiring to what branch of the Pomeroy family he belonged. The /Senator replied that "Brick" might take which branch he pleased but he (the Senator) belonged to the other branch. Wkxpeu, Phii.i.ips says the Republican party has never been loyal to a single princi. pie. From the commencement of the war to the present time, he says, "it has had but one purpose, to save the nation." If Mr. Phillips had set out to com pliment instead of abusing ! the Republican party, he couldn't have done it belter. The Pittsburg Gazette says there is hardly a village from one end of Pennsylvania to the other but contains a Grant and Colfax club. Never before in the Commonwealth were the people so thoroughly aroused nd organized to secure the triumph of Republican princi ples. It says the State may be set down as certain to give at least 20.000 majority for Hartranft and Campbell in October, and 1 double that number for Grant and Colfax in ! November. If the Presidential campaign were to con finite six months longer, we should find the Democratic papers justifying, praising and endorsing every act, word an d barbarity o the rebellion. They are already engaged belittling T'nion soldiers and denying or | apologizing for Andersonville and other | atrocities. The logical conclusion from their partisan tirades is. that defending the flag and. | the integrity of the nation was a blunder and an outrage. r The Republican State Central Committee of \ ermont accomplished an organization of the party in every town in the State, for the first time for many years: demanded a full vote for the sake of example to other States; and just before the election caused a circular to be put into every voter's hand reminding him of his duty. Lvery Republican newspaper also appealed to the people for a full vote. Yet it appears that four thousand staid at home. The latest wager on the election has been offered by the editor of the Atlanta (Georgia ) Era, who announces that be will send his j daily to all responsible Democrats in that t State until the 3d of November—thesubscrip | tion to be paid if Grant and Colfax are elec ted, and not otherwise. lie also challenges Democratic papers to mate the same offer to Republicans, A i orrespondext writing from Atlanta' Georgia, says that he has no doubt tbe unset tied condition of political affairs in tbat sec tion keeps many from spending money to make improvements or extend business, but ; everywhere the making of crops receives the utmost attention, and Providence is this year blessing labor with munificent returns The cotton crop is generally very good, the wheat crop is excellent, and the corn crop never i was better. This is true of all parts of Geor | gin, where also the Goober pea, alias ground | nut, is a great crop. Bad Nea's for the Democracy reaches us, from Maine. The consolidated exhibit of ; the savangs banks of that State shows that the, 1 number of depositors is equnl to one fourth of the voters of the State, and that one-fourth I of the whole, deposits are invested in Govern ment bonds. Working men that have a bank ' account do not generally vote with the Dem ! ocratie party, and those who own Govern" ment stocks—the best stocks in the market never do. Ihe 1 roy Times, commenting on the ex planations and apologies of certain Southern presses and speakers, says: ''Wade Hampton retracts all that he said about his little rattle snake flag, i ootnbs has becom? as silent as , bis name would imply. Cobb is ready to take a dozen oaths of loyalty. The Charleston | Courier claims that the word 'bullet,' where ever used in Southern prints, was a typo graphical mistake for 'ballot,' and that the revolutionary columns spoken of as sworn to free the sweet home of Jefferson Davis, were simply newspaper columns." A I'KoMixEXT gentleman who has just re turned to Washington from Maine says that the best informed Democrats concede that the Republicans will carry that State by at least 20,000 majority. Among those who express this opinion freely is Sunset Cox, who has been actively engaged in stumping tbe State for the Democrats. Mr. Cox, in conversation with this gentleman, said : "I tell yon. sir, it is no use shutting our eyes to plain facts." The popular enthusiasm for Grant is irresist ible; he will sweep everything before him." v There is a bitter spirit of intolerance per vading the minds of reconstructed Rebels that is doing great injury to the people of the South. We read in Southern papers that men are expelled from the church because they differ on political questions with their brothers of the church. Persons who hold the opinion that colored men should have the same political rights as white men, are not only denied fellowship in society and in the church, but are threatened with personal violence. \\ e supposed the war had ac complished one thing certain, the right of free, speech, but a portion of the people of the South do not seem to so understand it. TKOJI NEW VOltK. Departure of the Chinese Embassy for Eu rope—Pardoned by the President New York, September 10. —The Chinese Embassy left for Euronc yesterday after noon without any parade, on the steamer Java. A number of prominent, gentlemen wont down the bay with them, and bade Mr. IJurlingauie n farewell off the High lands. John S. Allcs, one of the Callieott, Brook lyn, Government swindlers, haifbeen pardon ed by the President, on account of Ins wife and family, who were left destitute by his conviction and imprisonment, together with the payment of the fine. Calficott has paid the fine, as has also Enright. and they will be pardoned in a few weeks, it is said. Southern politicans who are collecting funds for the two parties in the South have met with such poor success that they have concluded to give up their mission. It is tiie HOABT of the Mobile Register —Mr. John Forsyth's paper—< bat Johnson will remove Gen. George 11. Thomas from tbe Department which includes Tennessee, and that,, in the event that the Governor of the State calls out the militia to repress dis order and preserve the peace, they will b confronted by national troops under com mand of Rousseau or Gordon Granger. General Forrest boasts that in five days he can put himself at the head of forty-five thousand of the Ku Klux Klan, and take Tennessee into his keeping. What is need ed, not only in Tennessee but all the South, is tho election of Grant to put aq pod to threats and boasts like these, I MrerttermrntjSi.
