Iloavy Taxation and ita Cause.
In the course of an able speech re.
toutly delivered i:r Ohio by tho Hon.
(r. 11. Pendleton, that gentleman stated
that tho expenditure of the United
Slates for the year 1S6H " was one hun.
tired million.? luoro than that of England,
1 11 ...ni:...,
more than that of Franco. Tho great
est expenditure cf England during the
Napoloouio wars, when even Russia was
stimulated by her subsidies wheu
laro armies were kept in Spain ao-1 on
the Continent, never reached one hun
dred millions of pounds les.3 than fiv
hundred millions of dollars. England
has thirty .six thousand millions. The
United States bavo sixteeu thousand
millions. With less thau two-Gftla of
the taxable property, our people pay
largely more taxes."
Why are tho espen.-es of the nation
kept at their present high figure ? Tho
war bein over, why cannot the dis
burscmcuts be put upon a peace footing ?
The answer is, the party in authority
will not nrcj to such a prosit ion.
They are t-clietninu; for a contiuuatiau of
political power, and iu order to make
that .! certainty have refused to allow
the Southern Slates to rcitimo their old
constitutional relations with the Federal
government. Tesi States are governed
as military province.!, and tho army
stationed within their borders must be
supported out of the earnings of the
people In addition to that the Frecd
io. m's Uureau is feuding thousands ol
idle, worthless ueroo, who should bo
compelled to work for the maintenance
it 'hemselves and their firailies. This
iiem of public expenditures will reach
millions of dollars each year. Then
a::iin, the expenses of putting the new
i:i'veruments of tho unrepresented
States in operation is heavy. Ilejjis
ters are appointed in all parts of the,
South, whoso expenses are paid, and
there tiro u?u other leaks of a similar
character, out of which tho public
ui m.-y is running in a steady and iu.
civu-in stream. 'Theso area low of tho
mas jiis why our taxes ares) oxhorlii

in addition to tho hue sums loolishly
.--uaudered to keep the South under the
hod of Radical tyranny by military
l'or.v, a tendency to extravagance in
jMiblie expenditures bus sprung up
which is absolutely appalling to every
in iu who soberly reflects over tho situa
tion of the country. Vast appropria
tions arc made for every imaginablo
purpose, apparently without the least
eoi.yideration, and ofteu with an utter
iiiditi'ereucc to the advice of ouv ino..t
thoughtful and trustworthy statesman.

Yesterday after noon two young men

while walking along tho river bank uear

body ofa new -born infant floating on the
water a short distance from shore. The
body was secured by two littlo boys, and

who summoned a jury nnd held an in
quest. In the opinion of two physicians
who were present the child was fully de.
voloped and must bavo been born alive.
From appearances it could not have
been iu tbs waiter any great length of
time, and was probably thrown in lato
on Saturday night. No marks of vio
lenco were visible on Ub person. Tho
jury rendered a verdict that the child
was thrown into the river by some por
son unknown. Ifcjs to bo hoped that

QIIAIILUS CIIASI.
In accordance with tho warrant of
John W. Geary, Governor of Pennsyl
vania, directed to " Nathan Carrier, Jr.,
Es., High Sheriff of tho County of
Jefferson," rei(uiring him to execute the
extreme penalty of tho law upoa the
man whoso name beads this article,
preparations for tho awful event were
commenced on Monday last, Aug. 20.
Sheriff Carrier, who makes no preten
tious to tenderness or cxtrctuo piety,
did all in his power to have beCting ar
rangements made. The prisoner, who
has all along manilestcd a stoicism or in.
difference entirely incompatible with bis
present situation, cviuced on Friday last,
something akin to a contrite spirit, lie,
at that time, appeared to realize that tho
Saviour of mankind, had dicu, that he,
too, guilty murderer as bo was, might
live. That bis fondest hopes may be
realized should be tho prayer cf every
mother, son, daughter oud sister
throughout tho wholo land.
A9 indicated in the previous few Ht;cr.,
arncr did all in his power to rond-
er the unfortunato man as comfortable
as circumstances would permit. To this
end, he desired all who had a thought
for the welfare of the unfortunate man
to visit, pray with, and read to him.
For a time tho efforts of the m'nisters
availed but little. A lady, however, af
ter tho ministers had failed to make an
impression upon tho heart of Charley,
like an angel, as sho proved herself to
be, led him like a lamb, as wo hope, to
the fold of the redeemed.
Tho scaffold upon which tho prisoner
suffered, cither guilty or innocent, was
erected by gen tletnon entirely conven.
ant, as mechanics with that kind of
business. Disagreeable and unpleasant
as was their duty, they performed it
properly and feelingly.
On the evening previous to tho exe
cution, the prisoner was baptized by a
Catholic Priost, who attended him on
tho scaffold, and administered to the dy.
ing man that religious consolation under
tho circumstances so important.
At 1 o'clock, to day, (28th,) the con
demned man was taken to the Jail yard,
and after religious ceremonies perform
ed by tho Reverend Father, Charles
Chase, alias Wiulon, was launched at
the end of a ropo, into eternity. Ilia
immoritu spirit Ii3 wiogod ita way to
the presence of that Judge, who rerjuir
es no jury, and from whose decision
there is no appeal. With Him wo leave
the unfortunato man.
Wo have, at this time no heart to
gratify a morbid curiosity or appetite,
by discantiug upon tho revolting part
ticulars of tho first, and it is to be hoped
the last execution in Jefferson county.

Dear Advocate : In my last I prom

with my promise will try to givo your
readers some thing from this city.
Trade iu almost every branch of busi.
ncss is dull as compared with tho same
time last year; but merchants aro look

Last Wednesday your correspondent
bad the pleasure of witnessing a game
ol baseball between the Mutuals of New
York and tho Athletics, on tho grounds
of tho latter club at Fifteenth street and
Columbia avenue iu this city. To say
that tho playing was excellent would bo
ir.adcquate to express tho admiration of
the vast multitude assembled to witness
the game. Tho number present were
variously estimated at lroui 10,000 to
15,000. You have tio doubt been ap,
prised ere this that the Athletics were
ucuicn. Ut courso tno 1 hiiadciphians
felt bad over the defeat of their crack
club ; but high hopes aro entertained
that they will win the third game of the
match and yet retain tho title of Cham
pion of America.
la tho theatrical lino matters arc
about beginning to wear a lively aspect.
At the Walnut street Theatre wo have
had for the past three weeks a ''Mid
suntcr Night's Dream." The scenery
is magnificent, and is said to bavo cost
thirty thousand dollars to produce it.
But that is all that can be said for it, as
the acting is indifferent. On the 9th
icstant the grand spctacular drama of
the Black Crook is to bo put on the
boards at the academy of music. Every
body who is morally inclined aro oi
opposed to its being presented, but your
correspondent will miss bis guoss con
siderably if they do not patronize it as
expensively as tho Devil's oivn."
Laslwiso that was the case in New
York.
Littlo is bciDg said about politics in
this city at present. Tho Republicans
mado their nominations last week. Of
courso they put their best men on the
ticket. I bavo failed to see though,
that they havo put any ol tho ' Boys in
Blue " on their ticket. It is supposed
that Gen. Peter Lylo formerly of the
Penn'a Reserves will receive tho Demo
cratic nomination for Sheriff, and high
bopes are entertained that be will bo
elected, as his Republican competitor
never even " swelled the battle afar off."

CATHOLIC CHBISTIANITY NO. 14.
Intimately connected with the doc
trine of election is the doctrine of the
Perseverance of the Saints. As the
reason why some believe in Christ, while
all alike naturally refuse, is that they
are effectually " called " (Rom. 8, 30)
by tho Holy Spirit, or iu other words
" born again," (John 1, 13 : 3, 3, &c.)
or " created in Christ Jesus ULto good
works," (Eph. 2, 10,) aud this calling
is in accordance with God's eternal eke.
tion ; so tho reason wby any CbristiaBS
oontinuo steadfast ia tho faith and at
tain to the bl?scdncss of heaven, is that
they are " kept by tho power of God
through faith unto salvatiou." 1 Pet.
1, 5. The calling of believers is cvi.
denco of their eke tion to eternal life
2, Pet. 1, 10 for Chrst has given bis
word that " they shall never perish,
neither shall any pluck them out of my
hand, My Father, which gave them
me, is greater hau all; and none is able
to pluck ftfeni out of my Father's band."
So Paul could write to the Philippians,
of whose conversion ho bad good evi
dence. " Being confident of this very
thing, that bo, who hath beguu a good
work in you, will perfect it unto the day
of Chriat Jesus "Phil. 1, C, ; and to
tho Romans. " And we know that all
things work together for good, to them
that love God, to them who aro called
according to bis purpose. For whom
he did loreknow bo also did predesti
nate, to bo conformed to tho imago of
his son, that ho might bo the first born
among many brcthern. Moreover whom
ho did predestinate, them bo also cal
led ; and whom bo called, them ho also
justified j and whom bo justified, them
ho also glorified." Rom. 8, 2830.
Tho pcisevcrauco of tho Saints docs not
depend upon themselves ; for then
doubtless nono would ever " eduro unto
the cud ; " even as nono would come to
Christ, if their couversiou were left en
tirely to their own choice. But it is,
" whom IIo predestinated, them lie
also called; and whom He, called, them
lie also justified ; " and all th;o lie,
not themselves, raised to everlasting
glory. On the passage la.it cited an old
writer has well observed : " We must
not hero offer to dive into the secrets of
God's eternal election ; only firmly be-
licvcthat all our;""'', in time, nnd eter
nity, flows oriyinalli from God's free
goodness, and all our evil lrom man s
free will."
Thoso whoso conversion is, only the
work of their own will, may very consist
ently trust to their own will lot perse.
vcrance but thoso tvho nro converted
by (iaine yracc, may trust tho promise
of Him who is able to keep them from
falling.' Judo. 21. C. C.

Wo have received a communication

that ono or tho other plaeo of resort
should be at the d-sposal of tho public,
and further iuojuires whether it is true
that, during tho summer recess, tho
clergy write novels and plays, and thus
approximate Nero, who fiddled while
Rome was burniug. He also desired
some iuformation as to whit must bo
tho estimate placed upon ministerial la
bors so readily abandoned for a season,
and suggests as our churches are closed,
we go back to the primitive mode and
havo opcu air preaching. To all these
irreverent inquiries, wo can but answer,
that where tho churches kept open dur
ing tho summer months, common peo
ple might get into them, and that there
might thus linger a tingo of the lowly
