The Border States.
It has been boastfully' and shamefully
said, but by only few Northern papers, that.
another raid, and another burning like that
Of Chambersburg, would settle, the peace
sentiment in Pennsylvania. We also think
it would, in a sense of our own; and have
no wish to dispute the case of Pennsyl
vania, but merely appeal to the example of
the States nearer to the border, as shown in
the verdict of the past election. Delaware,
hardly to be called a border .State, always
safe and insular in its ancient opinions
and property, and heretofore a small asy
lum for the retired and recluse ideas of
other localities, has, neverthelesi, given a
progressive and redeeming vote. Mary
land, with its old penchant fof chivalry,
once the refuge of rebels, the home of
pining Secessionists, has adopted a free
Constitution, and unmanacled its slaves.
None can truly say that so grand a result
is unsatisfactory to the wishes and in
terests of the people, or doubt . that the
party which carried the election was a
thoroughly earnest one. Maryland, raided
and rcraided, grew ,more and more anti
rebel and anti-slavery, and in her last . vote
sealed her final 'conviction of rebel treason.
Kentucky, a large border-land, with. more
room for opposition and disloyalty, and
with a wider. spread and more ingrained
depth of the 'evil `of slavery, - has been
slower in the movement of reform; but
she, too, has been taught a-lesson from-re
hellion and invasion. Bucxxxn, BRECKIDT
RIDGE, and Molinari took away, with them
in their treason• a considerable part of the
spoiling " chivalry" of the State, but left
meaner confederates behind. Kentucky
'was a nearer and greater neighbor to trea
son than Maryland, and less exposed to and
less tolerant of the advancing intelligence
of the free sentiment. Her case has shown
all the worthlessness of neutrality; but at
the late election, which disclosed so large
a competition for the Union and the North,
Kentucky heard the reveille, and is now on
the march to freedom, an older and wiser .
BRECKINRIDGE taking the lead into the fu
ture, in place of the younger BRECKINEIDGE
who leads the retrograde movement into
the past. Tennessee has had all the wasting
experience of war, shut the crucible has
only made its patriotism more bright. The
devoted loyalty of East 'Tennessee was
almost phenomenal, so icing and nobly did
this people endure the most intense affliction
of rebel hate for the sake‘of a cause dear to
them as religion. No wonder, then, that
the Unionism of Tennessee is of the most
radical and earnest character, and that a
people who have suffered so much apply
the strongest tests to their citizenship. It
is of the highest significance that measures
of this character have been chiefly self-im
posed,,as personal safeguards, by the peo
ple. Missouri is another instance of re
surrection from secession and slavery ; and
here, as in Tennessee, the free element is
sincere and irresistible. Union majori
ties are counted in' nearly all of these
States ; vast anti-slavery gains in every
one. Louisiana and Arkansas show an
organized native sentiment of freedom
which cannot be diminished or driven
back. ' Nearly 'every one of these States
has suffered deeply from the rebellion—
their surface crossed, scarred; and wounded
by the invading march of robbery and
murder. But they do .not clamor for
peace, and let go their hold of slavery,
while the great criminal is down and
dying. The war has, in fact, created free
States.
West Virginia is one of the most striking
instances of all. In this region Gen.. Mc-
CLELLAN gained his first victories ; here,
too, he suffered extreme defeat in the elec
tion. No section of the country has been
more frequently overrun by the rebels—no
State shows a more positive antipathy to
the rebellion, and to all measures of peace
in its behalf. Upshur, an outpost county
and victim of all the raids, gave 818 votes
for LrNCOLN to 60 for Moe/acmes. Park
ersburg, almost constantly threatened with
destruction, gave 682 votes for .the Presi
dent against 182 for McCx.Ertaar. In the
oldest slaveholding connties the result
bore similar proportion, and every coun
ty, except Wetzel, returned a majo
rity for the Union party. Allowing
that many must have voted for General
3IcCLELLAN from reasons of favoritism
and as War Democrats, the determined
loyalty of the border states is still stronger
in resources and more remarkable in num
bers. Not invasion, but submission, is the
true Southern road to peace—this- is the
meaning written upon our border. The
Union must succeed, because its conquest
is moral.
The Future of the War Democracy.
There is
not
result of the late election
which is not yet fully apparent, .but which,
in the unfolding of time, will be found to
be among the chief goods of our triumph.
- We predict the exodus of the entire War
Democracy from the ranks of the Opposi:
Con. The War Democracy has been the
strength of that party. It elected SEYMOUR
in 1862, because he professed to represent
its principles. It defeated him this year be
cause he had proved unfaithful to them.
In 1803 it defeated VALLANDIGILM, -in.
Ohio, by an immense vote ; had a.
War Democrat, or one who pretended
to be such, opposed BROUGEI, the 'Non •
majority could not have reached 100,000.-
In Maine, ,BRADDDRY, a man of the VAL
LANciortAls stripe, was overwhelmingly
defeated. Wherever an unconditional peace
man has been. nominated by the Opposition,
the War Democrats in its ranks have de
feated him. The late election conveys in
another way, but with equal force, the same
moral. Gen.'MCCLELLAN knew. from the
first that the character of the Chicago Con
vention, and the nomination of PENDLETON,
would lose him almostevery electoral vote,
if he permitted it to be inferred that he was in
thorough sympathy with the unconditional
peace policy PENDLETON represented and
the Convention announced. .To counteract.
this natural inference, he shaped his letter
of acceptance so as to please the War De
mocracy, without repudiating the creed of
his party. This measure was politic, and
to a great degree successful. Many thou-'
sands of War. Democrats voted for MC
CLELLAN in defiance of PENDLETON and
the Chicago Platform. They believed
that, if elected, he would not be go
verned by the policy of .his party, that
his own record as a soldier, and the force
of public opinion would compel him to re
fuse to make the proposal of an immediate
armistice ordered by his -party. A promi
nent citizen of Ohio, when . congratulated
upon the great majority for Bnoroli, re
plied that he felt no pride, but rather
shame that one man in a free State could
be found to vote for l'AuartnionAm. We
have heard similar expressions of feeling
in regard to the large minority vote for
the Chicago candidates in Pennsylvania,
-and if we believed that the vote for Mc-
CLELLAN throughout the North could be
construed into an approvrit.of the misera
ble policy of the Convention which nomi
mated him, we, too, should be ashamed of
the North. But it was not such an ap
proval. MCCLELLAN was accepted as a
War Democrat, advoc'ated as such by many
o f his party organs, and voted for as such
by two-thirds of the Opposition. By this
fact we arc encouraged.
But what are the War Democrats to do
mow ? Many of them who understood that
no man could be truly in earnest, and free
- to decide his own course, who had accepted
-a nomination at the hands of VALLANDIG
ITAM• and in company
,with PENDLETON,
voted against M' CLELLAN, and are, of course,
to be classed among the steadfast friends of
the Administration. - .But those who op
posed it, not upon a question of prosecuting
the -war, but upon the method of doing so,
can no longer expect any 'good . from the
continuance of their efforts. The Opps3/-
tion candidate was hopelessly defeated.
Its cause is ruined. The Administration
has been - recommissioned by the nation,
and fOr more than four years:to come its ,
policy must rule. Honest men must see
that opposition to the Administration now,
is opposition to the North,. and aid to the
South. Nothing mu ; reverseithe decision
of the people ; but much may be done by
an energetic faction to embarrass' the Go
vernment. The following from the
. New
York .paidy .11 1 :eso's ought to suggest a course*
its .writer could not have intended
"The Black Republicans have achieved theirc•
utdoaa triumph. The honors and spoils are theirs for
four years to come, but among the fruits of victory
are the duties and responalbilities of victors. They
have won the right to sit in the high-plaoes, but, all
above the throne of Damocles, the peril that threat
ens greatness is suspended above them by a single
thread. If.ie no eminence of ease and safety that they
have reached. It is their mission to redeem their coun
try from civil wan and failing, the keen edge of
- popular opinion will descend upon them In retribu
tion.”
There is truth in these words. The
Administration has not an easy task before
it, but one which should gain it the sup
port of every loyal man, even of its oppo
nents in the late canvass. The News
,admits that it is " its mission to redeem the
country from civil war." What then ?
Can the true American citizen oppose an
Administration entrusted by the people
with a work so colossal ? Precisely, be
cause the Administration will ha,ve to
grapple with great difficulties ; because its
mission is the redemption of the country;
because it is too late to hope to substitute
for its policy that of the Opposition, is
every patriot in the Opposition bound to
acquiesce in the national judgment, and do
his best to insure the success of plans which
hive for their object peace and the pre
servation of tit! Union.
More than thfi, those War Democrats
who do not withdraw from a useless, and,
now, a criminal Opposition, will be forced
out of it by . self-respect. That party is
being reorganized on a strictly peace bails,
and the .War Democrats will he driven
from its councils. The News thus con
cludes the article from which we have
quoted, and we commend its words to
those War Democrats who did their best
,to elect IicCiatLLAIT, and are not willing
to be insulted for their failure :
" The work of Abolition Is going on rapidly to.
wardicompletion. Tho memories that rise like the
ghosts of murdered mon upon the battle field bid
North and South avaunt; but they are now hefts
joined in their protests by the memories that rise
like furies from a thousand scenes of desolation,
rape, famine, burning, looking across the °hum be•
tween the sections, in the deadly glare of a Medusa.
' The War Democrat,' forsooth, insists that the
breach shall be widened still further, that the
work of blood and savage outrage shall con
tinue ; but while his Black Republican co
worker is true to his own traitorous designs, his
bastard brother is not only false to every principle he
professes, but is treacherous to even Ms pretended love
for the Constitution and the Union. Peace is the
only means of defeating, even now, the traitorous
designs that, having originated, seek to oontinue,
the struggle. All mon opposed to an immediate'
peace, with a view to concession and conciliation,
are not only false to every principle of the De
mocracy, false to ovary suggestion of true fagots
=whip, butt War "Democrats" and Mack - Repub.
/icons alike, are traitors to all that is left of hope for
.a reconstruction of the Union."
We know that the independent, gene
rous, and just course the Administration
has announced, that ,the President himself
was the first to proclaim, has already had
profound effect We know that many in
telligent men in the Democratic party are
convinced that nothing is now to be gained
for the Union.by opposing its. Administra
tion, and will, as far as they conscientiously
can, support it. But we know, frOm the
course taken by the News and many of the
leaders of the so-called Democracy, that
even if this nobler feeling did not exist
among the War Democrats, they would be
driven from the Opposition by the hatred
and insult of its managers. The party is to
be reorganized without their help.
State Sovereignty.
The New York .News :_prints till's aped.
men of its ignorance of the Constitution;
and loyalty to the South, as an argument
for - secession :
"THE NAVY Olf THE STATE.'—Henry A. 1 0 7130,
when conducting his canvass as a candidate for the
Gubernatorial chair of Virginia, at the period when
the Know-Nothing Influence was at Its height, was
one day walking with a gentleman of this city along
the waterfront of Richmond. An armed schooner
was lying at anchor In the stream. ' There,' said
the Governor, pointing to the vessel, 'is one of the
ships of the navy of the State of Virginia. She is of
but little service - to the Commonwealth, but Vic:•
ginia has always maintained two or three such
vessels upon principle. The Constitution of Vir
ginia declares that Its Gorernor shall be the com
mander.in•thief of the army and navy of the State.
That clause attests the .sovereignty of the State,
and it is safe to keep the evidence before the people.'
"It would have 'been well If the States of the
North had been equally' jealons of their so
vereignty.',
This ingenious vagary of sentimental
State sovereignty is at once quieted by pa
ragraph second of Section X. of the Con
stitution of the United States :
"No State shall, without the consent of
Congress, levy any duty on tonnage, keep
troops or ships of war in time of peace, enter
into any agreement or compact with another
State, or witha foreign Power, or engage in
war, unless actually invaded, or in such
imminent danger as will not admit of de
lay."
' Pretended State sovereignty, and all
" rights " to secede, rebel, and confederate,
arc thus killed at one blow. Even "the
army and navy of Virginia " prove nothing
whatever for State sovereignty, since they
are checked of all right to sovereign use.
by the limitations of the Constitution, both
in the paragraph we have quoted, and in
the defined special powers of Congress; "to
declare war, grant letters of marque and
reprisal, provide and - maintain a navy, and
make rules for the government of the land
and naval forces." Because it owns a tug
boat in the Delaware river, the municipality
of Philadelphia cannot set itself up for a sove- -
reighty. No more could Gov. WISE claim an
armed oyster-sloop in dock at Richmond as
the symbol of Virginia sovereignty. We
class this puerile theory with the general
insanity of treason.. Mischief has great
reason for ignorance; and that of the News
is of the grossest kind.
Southern Summary.
The most striking feal,ure of the regular •
news from • the South is the expixliion - of
1 1 , 7 1.1mAx.sori R. W. COBB from the rebel
Congress for disloyalty to the " Confede
racy." Mr. COBB hails from Alabama,
and though he has been confounded with
the more notorious General HOWELL Conn '
(just reported to be pushing a • detach
ment of our forces in Georgia), he is
not himself inconspicuous. The cause of
his expulsion is his long absence on terms
of friendly intercourse within the national
lines, and it is believed that he is now a
Unionist but a little way behind the leader
ship of ex-Senator JERE. CLEMENS, of Ala
bama. That so prominent a repreSentative
of the Confederacy has proved disloyal,
argues that there may be others just as
convertible as Mr. COBB. The Peace
Question in the South has taken a politic
shape for Southern Independence ; but
there are many, no doubt, who value peace
as a means of escape from the tyranny of
state and of public opinion. The cohe
sibn of despair may keep thousands toge
ther who will be glad to be free when the
military arm of the Union strikes off their
shackles. The South is bound by its own
despotism, and we must,. therefore, deli
ver it from itself.
SHERIDAN is believed to have fallen - back

more and Ohio Railroad—having sent
around a part of his force to Gen. GRANT--

and GRANT is prepaiing for a grand attack

dian. The Ttichmond lnig throws down
a cataract of injunction :
No sacrifice of property, no activity of oppo•
sitlon, must be counted now or considered excessive.
Tear down bridges, block roads, remove or destroy
supplies, cut off foragers, fight at every pass. If
Sherman should be able to accomplish such
.a jour
ney as that he proposes, foraging as he goes, it will
be proof that he was not becomingly resisted."
SHERMAN will be justified if, seizing this
advice, he appltes the principles of the ene
my to his own advantage by making every
thing contribute to sustain his army. In
his last message JEFFERSON DAVIS sneered
at the march . of SHERMAN from. Vicksburg
to -Iteridian. It will not surprise us if the
knowledge gained in that memorable
reconnoissance will enter aeeply into the
grander campaign from Atlanta, and give
more extensive development to Bruntmax's
idea of self-supporting war.
Ia ANY OMB DOUBTS that the submission of the
rebels is likely to be offered ere long, that the Con
federacy IS on Its last legs, that Its loaders will soon
lie down - in the last ditoh,.that the last blow will
soon be struck, and that we shall Boon be rewarded
with enduring victory and solid peace, he fails to
read unerringly the signs of the times.:—Raitinsore
American.
Yet there are people who profess to be
lieve that GRANT has exhausted his army
and his plans, that the rebel forces in Loui
siana are so. large that New Orleans is
danger, that PRICE threatens to regain
Missouri, thEA SHERMAN is " retreating on
Mobile or Charleston,' l and that HOOD is
the ,master_of the Southwest. These are
the opinions seriously advanced in North
ern journals, with what purpose it is im
possible to say,.for the elections are over. •
Tun Louisville Journal has resolved
upon a new course, consistent with Its
more progressive antecedents, abandoning
the ultra pro-slavery party of Kentucky,
and in turn being ab4ndoned by Mr. PAUL
SurmaArr, its sometime pro-slavery . editor.
This change, is fortunate for the Journal,
and it is also'important to Kentucky, where
it has been so 'long a leader of opinion tuP

by the grateful admission that slavery in
Kentucky and everywhere else is doomed.

TILE TERABIlitlf DEPARTMENT.
The Secretary of the Treasury has sent to the heads
of the several bureaus of his Department a circular,
requiring the office hours, from nine o'clock in the
morning to four o'clock in the, afternoon, to be
strictly observed, the intervening time to be de•
voted diligently to/labor. This action on the part
of the Secretary is to correct the irregularities
whidh he has noticed with regret.
The Secretary says he has been much annoyed
by applications for appointments founded on state
ments made by clerks and others that there were
vacancies to be filled, and designating those va
cancies. He therefore gives notice that it is no
part of the duty of clerks or others in the Depart
ment to give either information or advice on such a
point. All vacancies are' reported to the Assistant
Secretary, and will be filledaS the Secretary may
determine. lie will regard anyfarther interference
of this character as 'a sufficient cause for dismhisal.
. While stating these grounds of complaint, the Se
cretary cheerfully bears testimony to the prompt,
ness and faithfulness with which, as a general rule,
the business of the Department has been conducted.

THE BILENVEICY FRAUDS.
The fact that two extensive breweries have been
closed in this city, owing to the discovery of oaten.
sive frauds upon the internal revenue, which frauds
have been perpetrated - for some time by their pfb
prtetors, has stimulated public curiosity to no small
degree. The knowledge that they are situated in
the Ninth Congressional district is a great aid to
their identification, although the authorities hav
ing the matter in charge are endeavoring to keep
the MOEs of the suspected parties as secret as pos
sible. As usual, however, in such cases, there are
certain Knowing Ones, who have a species of prey!.
Rion in matters of this nature, and who solemnly
assure their Interrogators upon all dubious points.
It Is now pretty well understood who the unremit
ting brewers are: The statement is ventured in a
semi•ofcial way that the frauds were not as exten
sive as was first suspected ; which possibly moans
that the guilty parties are about to expiate their
delinquency roundly, with the tacit understanding
that their names will Lot be made public ; in short,
that having 'compensated the Government for its
losses by them, the matter will b a t hushed up and
past delinquencies overlooked,

TUB FLORIDA AFFAIR.
The London Times , city article says
" Advices from New York with regard to themode
in which the Washington Government has re
ceived the news of the Capture of the Oonfederate
steamer Florida aro awaited with the greatest into
rest by the mercantile as welras the political world.
One reason for the importance attributed to these
advices consists in the inference that If the affair be
palliated or condemned by Lincoln's Government,
It will henceforth entirely extinguish any power on
the part of the United States to assail by privatsers
the commerce of any nation with whioh they may'
be at war, since the precedent will establish a claim
to the right to pursue and destroy every such Vessel,
whatever may be the port in which she may seek
shelter or.supplies." - • ,

Lord Palmerston, in an eloquent speech, spoke
cheeringly . of European politics.
As regards America, he said: . " There Is one dark
spot on the picture which the a ffairs of the world
present. That dark spot lies on the otherside of the
Atlantic. We grieve, and every man of-right mind
must grieve, that that bloody and disastrous war,
which broke out more than three years ago among
the kindred nations of northern America still rages—
still lays waste the fertile plains of that continent—
still bedews with the blood of its psople those forests
and tracts of territory which ought to be cultivated,
and become sources of wealth, pleasure, and happi
ness to mankind. •
"We may earnestly trust that human nature will
not long permit that deadly and disastrous strife to
continue—that the contending parties, within some
period not remote, will find it much bettor to be re•
couched than to fight—and that those disputes
which have bedewed that continent with' fraternal
blood will be settled .by an amicable arrangement
between themselves. [Loud cheers.]
" The beginning of the strife was expected to be
attended in this country with most disastrous re•
sults to manufactures. These alarms have been
found groundless. At all events, out of evil may
come some gocd, and I trust in future our sources of
supply will be spread over a great portion of ;the
globe, and that we shall no longer be dependent on
any one country for material so essential to the In

Turkeys for the Soldtrws.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sm.: It rejoices my heart to bear that our brave
boys in camp and on battle-field have the sympathy
of those at home. But, sir, is it not possible, in our
zeal for the soldiers, to forget the soldiers' widows
and orphan children at Mime 1 Are our soldiers
suffering from hunger.or nakedness 1 To the honor
of our Government be it said, they have generally
enough, and to spare. But how is it with the
widows and children of those who have fallen on the
battle-field, and who are suffering at our very door 1
These aro the real objects of our sympathy, and
while it Is not wrong to "deal out our bread" to
the soldier who is not hungry, it certainly is wrong
to leave the widows and children of dead soldiers to
starve with hunger. What God requires is this ;
"To deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou
bring the poor that are cast out to thy house ; where
thou scest the naked that thou cover him." While.,
we are generous to our soldiers—while we sond them

The New Assessment—Personal and
neat Estate.
To the Editor of The Press:
SIB: The most astonishing figures, by long odds,
which have lately been seen, are those given by the
assessors 'in their _report of the real and personal
property of this city, taxable for 1865. The old saying
that "figures cannot lie" Is clearly disproved by
this report. Certainly some poisons (not a few)
must have lied moat tremendously if the, assessors
(worthy, wise men I) did their duty, and et could
only find in our
Why,
city $110,600 of personal pro.
perty to tax.. Why, only think of the millions in the
form of stooks, loans, and mortgages, and of the,
number of persons you know each of whom owns
mare than Is credited-to the whole city. Only think
of the rich Eighth ward being credited with only
$3,857 of personal property, while the same ward re-,
turns $755,200 in furniture!
It Is a little too much. If wo can't have smarter
assessors (and I fear we can't), we ought, at least, to
have a new system of assessment. Uncle Sam, I.
imagine, finds a different result when he collects
his five pet cent. from the interest and dividends of
our riob men. . •
This is why the unfortunate owners of real estate
find their taxes increased every few, years.
There are millions of personal property which
pay 'no taxes to the city treasury. Will not our new
Councils do something which will reaoh these mil
lions, and lighten the burden on REAL ESTATE 1.-
Pubiie Enitertainmente.
ORMSTNiVSTRICBT THR4TRB,—The , sensational
of "Pauvrette," now being produced in fine
style at thli theatre, is, we, think, destined to achieve
a decided success. The plot is interesting, but, like
many other of Boucicault's productions, Is con
structed with a rather striking disregard of probe
bility. The daughter of an old soldier is carried
-away by a Duchess, under the supposition that it is
her own. Her real• child becomes a wanderer upon
the face of the earth, and is made a tenderof sheep
for some Alpine villagers. Every winter the hut
In the mountains - where the child Pauvrette resides
is covered by an avalanche of snow, which impri
sons her for three months. The Count Maurice, a
connexion of the Duchess, wandering in the monn
tainsi- loses his hold as he traverses the Icy peaks of
Saint Bernard, and, slipping to the brink of. a pre-.
cipice, Is not able to regain his footing. His
cries for aid reach Pauvrette; who rescues htm from
his perilous position and leads him to her 'rabbi.
Here the avalanche overtakes them and buries the
hut beneath mountains of snow. Mairice is obliged
to speed the winter with Pauvrette, whom he wrongs
and finally deserts. Upon his return home his mar
riage with -Louise (the other child), which was to
have taken place before, is urged by the Duchess.
Maurice, Seized with remorse, determines to break
off the match; Before he-has done - this, however,
the grand eclaircissement takes place. Pauvrette is
discovered to be 'the child . of the Duchess, while .
Louise is, of course, the old soldier's daughter.
Such being the case, all turns out happily. Pauvrette
becOmes Maurice's bride, and Louise gives her hand
to the drummer boy, - who has risen to be a captain.
There aro, of course, many details of incident in.
the play which we have not noticed.
It is 'very creditably produced, indeed, some of
the scenery being very striking. The third act, in
which occurs the fall of the avalanche, is the gem
of the piece. The fine display of rocky peaks and
icy summits gives an excellent Idea of Alpine
scenery, and the fall of an immense mass of snow
over the fragile hut of Pauvrette, though a very
difficult piece of mechaniim, was well produced
last night, and was quite appalling in effect. The
literary merits, too, of this - act claim some atten
tion. The Idea of the little shepherdess singing
to the echoes around her "good-night," ere
she retires, Is a very chaste and beautiful one,
and is touchingly rendered by Miss Germon.
The echoes are well performed. A. few Inconsis
tencies, however, in the performance of this scene
should be corrected. It is scarcely probable that
the sewing of a poor outcast under the snow should
be of fine cambric; the cloth which is spread upon
her table ere her frugal meal Is produced should not
be of so fine a texture; and, lastly, as. Pauvrette's
rations of black bread aro spoken of in a previous
scene, when she produces bread in her hut it should
be black.
The acting in this play was very good, especially
that of Mr. Baker, who rendered the part of Ber
nard ,very effectively, and that of Mr. Mordannt,
whose love scene in the last act cannot be accused
of a want of passion.' •

PHILADBLPHIA. BOARD OF TRADE.
The November stated meetingg was held on 'Mon
day evening, 21st inst., Samuel C. Morton, F.sq.,
President, in the chair.
After the routine business, Mr. Milliken, in pur
suance of previous notice, introduced the following
preamble and resolutions, which wore unanimously
adopted :
Whereas, Our Government should at this time
avail Itself of every legitimate source of revenue
with which to maintain its credit and liquidate its
_indebtedness.
And Whereas, The reasons which, at the time
of forming the Constitution of the United States,
operated to procur ex por ts option of the dense pro
hibiting duties On have long since passed
away; and whereas, the power to assess duties on
exports would greatly Increase confidence in the
ability of the Government to discharge its financial
obligations ,• therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Board memorialize Congress
to adopt such measures as will secure an amend
ment of the Constitution of the United States
which shall grant the power to assess duties on ex
ports.
Resolved, That copies of the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be laid before the Chambers of Com
merce of New York and Cincinnati, and the Boards
of Trade of Boston, 'Baltimore, Chicago, and Mil
waukee. and their co-operation be solicited. •
Mr. MI/liken. in urging the adoption of the resolu
tions, stated there - were many artioles of export
whioh foreign countries were - unable to procure
elsewhere which would bear the Imposition of ex
port duties. •
The blockade of the Southern ports • has demon
strated that cotton, in time of peace, would bear an
export duty possibly of 10 cents per pound ; and
should the future annual export of that commodity
be no greater than its average for the three years
previous to the rebellion, a duty of ten cents per
pound would yield a revenue of about a. hundred
and twenty millions per annum. This source of re
venue alone would, therefore, pay the entire dent of
the Government, even assuming that it should roach
84 000,000,000, at the close. od the war; in less
than thirty-five years, but it is not-desirable that so
large a debt should bo paid off in so short a time,
neither is it desirable that the Government should
place so high a tax as ten cents per pound on cotton
and omit to tax other commodities. Rice and tobac
co would furnish revenue of this character. We
also have in petroleum another new and Important
article of,export, nowhere else to be procured in
- quantities, which may in time yield a large revenue
If the Government has the power to tax its export.
There are in addition to these many of the raw
materials which enter into consumption for manu
facturing purposes in foreign countries which will
also bear export duties. A majority of the States
- that voted in Convention in favor of the clause re
ferred to, are now in rebellion. In the Constitution
of their.proposed Confederation they have provided
for taxing exports, and are now doing so on all
commodities which run , the blockade.
Mr. Sender, for the Committee of the Month, made
aveport in response to the proceedings of the Boston
`Board of Trade upon the subject of an equitable ad
justment of the expense of stamping railroad freight
and other receipts. •
The committee took the ground that whatever
may be the requirements of the common law, both
commercial usage and right demand that whoever.
receives value of any kind from another is bound to

the neat meeting.
REPORTS OP COMMITTEES
The Committee on Property recommended that the
Board rent an additional room in the Oak-street
Church building, Twenty-fourth section. The report
was adopted.
The Committee on Grammar, Secondary, and Pri
mary Schools, to whom bad been referred the gra
ding and revising the salaries of the teachers of the
consolidated grammar and unclassified schools, re
ported a resolution equalizing the salaries of the
different teachers. Some salaries were reduced, and
some increased, the sum of $1,200 having been ap
propriated for the purpose. The report was adopted.
The Committee on Estimates reported " that, the
increase of salaries of those employed in this de
partment bas enlisted the earnest consideration of
this committee. A committee of male principals'
of schools appeared before us with a detailed state
ment of the salaries paid and the inereased cost of
living. We are satisfied that their salaries aro inade
quate, and as the wages in almost every other de..
partment of labor have been largely increased, we
believe that justice to a calling which requires a.
high order of talent and increasing industry de
mends a corresponding increase in their salaries.
Your committee would-therefore recommend an in
crease of%) per cont. upon the salaries of all teach
ers and employees under this board, and they beg
leave to oiler the following resolution: fr

16 A STORM, MY FRIENDS,"
"If there be any man," quoth a friend of ours
yesterday, " who at the long succession of atormy
days whic h are persecuting us does not occasionally;
gnash his teeth, or any young woman who does not
continually pout her Ups, to that man I would be
glad to extend the right hand of fellowship, and the
left too, ithe wanted it ; and to that woman. If alt
other circumstances were favorable, I might offer a
still warmer testimonial," But "no Bich paean
ain't to be found not at all," , as an Individual of
African proclivities remarked upon 'searching for
Gen. J. B. Floyd; after the capture of Donelson.
Although, perhaps, not entirely coinciding with
the rashness of our friend's expression, all (ar
readers will agree with him that such a protracted
stay of lowering skies is a decided annoyance. Who
can keep ,a light heart in his bosom when leaden
shin are weighing it downl 'Tie not easy to look
upon the sunshtne of life. When there Is no sunshine
of day to be seat. (.;
For many 'nary days' we` havolstdialn; raid
most dismal rain. Some wise brain haS said that it
is an ill wind that blows nobody good, but the only
persons who tee p a harvest grown by the wind which
brings cold rains are those who thrive upon the mts•.
fortunes of othert---dootors, un - dertakers, and um
brella makers. Yesterday morning the sunshine
broke for a moment through its cloudy barrier, bat
only to tantalize us with thoughts of the brightness
withheld from us, Then the envious clouds again
bid the face of his majesty in their dirty blankets,
and v e were miserable once more. But - as it is a
long lane which has no turning, and as every storm
but the present one has cleared up. we may yet hope
for sunshine and happiness, both of which will, per
haps, greet our readers before this paper reaches
them. That sunshine may dance upon this article as
they read it is the sincere wish of its melancholic
writer.
TIILr QUAKER CITY BUSINESS COLLEGE
This College is located at Tenth and Chestnut
streets. The remarkable success of the institution,
and its strong hold ripen the respect and confidence
of the citizens of Philadelphia, are indications of
genuine merit, and, from our knowledge of its
management from the commencement, we most
cheerfully recommend it to the attention of all who
desire a business education. It has been raised to
Its present position by enterprise, a liberal expendi
ture of money, and Constant endeavors on the part
of Mr. Fairbanks, the principal, to excel in every
department.
The Institution is well organized into separate de
partments, under the direction and control of spe
cial teachers. Thus the greatest efficiency Is se-•
cured In instruction, and every student receives
proper attention.
The introduction of telegraphing as a branch of
study, and a new practical system of instruction in
the commercial department, with l`fir. Fairbankas
well known reputation as the manager-for some
years of another commercial school in this citsr, se
cured for the Quaker City College a prestige from
the beginning, which has beencons.ta.ntlyincreasing
with what must be to Mr. Fairbanks and his asso
ciates moat gratifying evidences of appreciation.
Over five hundred students had bean in attendance
up to November 2d, the closing of the first year,
from nineteen different States and foreign coun
tries.
We think we may safely say that those who have
never visited this college will be surprised at the ex
tent and completeness of Its arrangements, and we
advise all interested to make a personal inspection
for themselves.
INQUEST IN A HOMICIDE CASE
Coroner Taylor, yesterday, held an inquest on the
body of 'Francis Mellon, who died on Sunday from
w ounds received in a drunken scuffle with a man
named Alexander Butler, on Sunday, the lath inst.,
at a house on Fitzwater street, below Ninth. The
evidence adduced at the investigation showed that
the two men were in company with each other on
Saturday tight, the 12th inst. ; they returned home
on the following afternoon, shortly after 4 Wolof*,
and were very much under the influence of liquor.
They went up stairs, and Butler took one of the
crutches need by Mellon; this caused a souffle.
The parties were separated without any blows
having been struck. In a little while Mellon
said he would tight any man for 00. Butler then
got up from the place where he was seated, and the
next moment the two men clinched, and in the
struggle both fell over a bench.. Butler bovine , a
Ihoemaker's knife in his hand, plunged it into Mellon
•seven times, from the effects of which he died.
These are all the material facts elicited. The jury
returned a verdict that the deceased came to his
death from stabs inflicted by Alexander Butler.
The murderer has not been arrested.
SUPPOSED IDENTIFICATION
The body of the deserter who was shot, as stated
in The Press yesterday, was taken in charge by Co
roner Taylor.. The name of deceased Is supposed to
be William o Peter Cavanaugh.
• Two other fellows deserted In Arch street, but the
guard were afraid to shoot at them, because there
were several persons within range. Cavanaugh,
however, attempted to escape in a lonesome place,
and met an Ignominious death. No sympathy was
expressed for him.
MAN DROWNED
An unknown man fell Into the Delaware, at Pine
street wharf, about one o'clock yesterday morning,
and was drowned. The body has not yet been re
covered.

,DISORDERLY HOUSE CASE. •
On the Greenwich Point road, in the First ward,
about a mile below the confines of evangelism, or
"smoky h0110w, ,, are located a cluster of rickety old
frames, on both sides of an unpaved thoroughfare.
The place Is called " blartinsviile. ,, Its inhabitants
consist chiefly of poor white and blank people; mo
ral, semi moral, andim moral; dogs, oats, cows, and
pigs. One of the old frames was occupied by Sarah
Hall. She received visitors of both sexes, and com
mon report does not speak highly of the establish-
Mcnt. Bad whisky, immorality,. and dog fights are
the staple productions of ftartinsville. On Monday
night the police made a descent uponthe house, and
• the alleged proprietress and all the Inmates were
taken. into custody. Yesterday the entire party
were 'arraigned, and the investigation resulted in
the binding over of the alleged keeper to answer at
court the charge of maintaining - a nuisance. The
visitors, mostly females, wore hold to bail to keep
the peace.

WHO MIBI3S A COLD I—lt seems a small affair,
and in consequence is usually allowed to have its
own way, and yet how - frequently a neglected cold
ends in Bronchitis or Consumption I. Why not take
a cold In time, then, and by using at onco Dr. D,
Jasne'a Expectorant, which for thirty years has
been a standard remedy for all coughs and colds,
avoid these dreadful alternatives!
WHAT IS ISHANT HT BRONCHITIS
is an inflammation of the bronohia, or passages which
convey air to the lungs. In Its earlier stages thig
disease is commonly called a oold, or a cold in the
breast. It usually comes on with a little hoarse
ness; followed by-a. moderate cough, with slight
'feelings of 'heat or soreness about the throat or
chest. If not 'arrested the cough becomes one of the
most prominent symptoms, as well as the niost
painful and distressing; the inflammation increases
In intensity until it finally interferes With the access
of air to the lung cells, when the vital powers soon
give way. In most of the stages of this disease, Dr.
Jayno's 'Expectorant effects a speedy cure by pro.
ducing a free and easy expectoration, suppressing
the cough and allaying the lever. A fair trial Is all
that is asked.
IN c;ousustrzrow AND ALL PULNOPIABY CO3l.
PLAINTS
Dr. Jayne's Expectorant will afford immediate re.
lief, by removing the difficulty of breathing, and
producing an easy expectoration ; whereby all irri
tating and obstructing matters are removed from
the lungs. Having maintained its reputation in
all parts of, the world for over a quarter of a centu
ry, it is confidently recommended as the best remo
dy ever offered for the diseases It professes to cure.
