Wbnt Each State hn Done tor the Union,
and What it Cost
Is the morning papers was published the
report of a special committee aopolnted for
the purpose of preparing data setting forth
the amount of debt Incurred by each Stata for
war purposes, the number of soldiers supplied,
and the sum which it was tho duty of the
United states Government to reimburse to
the various Commonwealths la ordor to
relieve them from too heavy a burden In
curred. The report sets forth some Interest
ing facts, which are a cause of Slate pride
to every resident wltoin our borders. It Is a
bright triumph for our Commonwealth to see
tier name second in the list in point of volun
teers, yet third in point of cost We will
quote the six highest States :
he York Incurred debt ol. lll.Ono.OOO
Ohio twOJOOD)
loi nsylvanla " 68 000,0:0
Massachusetts " 48 008.0J)
Illinois " " ... 8100J,0a
HowJerey " " ... 22,OOD0J0
While, however, New York had to pay for
her sold'ers over twice as much as Pennsyl
vania, yet we were enabled, with one-half as
much money, to secure almost two-thirds as
many soldiers. Ihe following is the table,
Illinois being approximated:
Now York enlisted 832 000 men,
iiiiiieylvenia -' idtitt.OOO '
Ohio " 2H7.000 "
ll.mois ' 1H5,OOI) "
.Massavnutetts " 156 03 "
ISew Jersoy " 123,000 "
Or, reducing it down to an average, and
seeing how much it cost each. State to secure
each man, we have :
tievt Jersey $493 per man.
Massachusetts H$i
Hcvr York SWl "
Olno 274 ".
I linoi" 211 "
Pennsylvania 107 "
1 he facts thus set forth develope two
causes which opeiatad to make Pennsylvania
secure soldiers at a less rate the first of
which is that the estimates given are not
what it actually cost to sjcure each soldier,
but what it cost the State. In our Common
wealth, the unparalleled munificence and won
derful patriotic liberality of our citizens, as
individuals, operated as a belp to relieve the
State of much of her debt; for every million
subscribed by the people was a million saved
for the State Treasury. It therefore shows
that the generosity of our people exceeded
that of any resident in our sister Common
wealths. Again, the reduced average shown
by us is due to the tact that the patriotism
of our citizens exceeded that of others, and
that the volunteers continued to supply our
quota without the necessity of there being any
bounties paid ; hence it was much later that
we commenced to buy soldiers than it was
in operation in other portions oi our country.
Tbero is, therefore, in the published table,
cause ot great pride. It demonstrates the
patriotism and the Individual generosity of
the residents ot the Keystone State, and is a
testimony to the ab;lity and economy with
which our Treasury was managed by the
officer selected for so important a stewardship,
1 be total debt contracted by all the States
amounts to $475,000,000. Each Legislature
has been petitioning Congress to secure the
assumption on the part of the TJn'tod States
of her particular d.bt. The Idea that the Gov
ernment would ajl to its own three thousand
millions five hundred millions more was pre
posterous. In order to compromise and be
equable, it was decided that there shall be
reimbursed by the United States to each of
tte States that furnished troops to the Union
army, and also to the several Territories, and
the District of Columb'a, a sum equal to fllty
flve dollars for each man duly entered into
military or naval service of the United States
during the late war, the usual number being
reduced to a uniform standard of three years'
service.
This would give to Pennsylvania fifteen
millions of dollars, according to the published
table. This would leave us a debt of but
thirty-nine millions, which is certainly very
small, considering the amount of assistance
rendered by our Stale. We have thus in sta
tistics, in refutation of all of the slanders
heaped upon our State by the New York
journals, an official declaration that Penn
sylvania has exceeded in patriotism, liberality,
and loyalty, any other State in the American
Union.
1Some More Tinkering with the Constitu
tion. "licsolved, by the Seiiato and House of Repre
sentatives of America ia Oonirress Assmubbd,
Tht the title wuicn above all others ii con
stantly conceded to tbis country throughout the
world, and which is its proper t'tle, as the para
mount power of th'B hemisphere, to wit: Tbe
title of America, shall hereafter biiperieila the
term of 'iho Dnl'ed Btatei ol Auierca' through
tue adaption ol tbe lollowlnir woras uc tbe end
of thelirsi article ot said Const ituiion: 'Aud
do also ordain that the United States qi America
shall bereaiter be known and styled America.' "
Such was tho resolution Introduced by Mr.
Andebson, some days since, and which the
New York Times intimates will meet the ap
proval of a large number, if not a majority of
the House. Wilkes' Spirit of the Times
.says :
"There Is, consequently, nothing poetical, un
practical, or visionary in tho proposal of Sir.
Amdekson, of Missouri. Out on tbe contrary, it
ia a very sensible seizure ot the opportunity af
forded by the proposed reopening ot the Cuiistl
tution, to get in an amendment ot true Import
ance knd one winch will redound to the glory
and true progress of the natioi i. With the "one
term' amendment (or tho Presideotlal office,
and this amendment conforrinc npon our Got
mi tnrnt a name, we snail be ablo to recom
mence our march to frrea'ness, with a itep
talrh will rcsond throughout ihe earth, and
which must, at least, insure tbe liber tioi and In
dependence of the hemisphere. We shall loot
forward with prreat intercut, therefore, to the
time when Mr. Anderson's resolution Js called
up for debate." t
If there was any prospect of the adoption or
such an egotistical and useless amendmaat
we would enter Into an argument in opposi
tion. As it now stands, we can hardly sup
pose that the C ongress would condescend to
again amend tho instrument, especially In so
needless a way as the one proposed by Mr.
Anderson.
Repeal of the Real Estate ( Tax.
Both branches of our Legislatui have passe i
a bill repealing the State tax heretofore levied
on real estate, and In liou thereof have author
ized the taxation of the stock of every bank
to the amount of one per centum, and three
fourths ot one per centum on the gross
receipts ot every railroad, canal, or transpor
tation company Incorporated by the laws of
Pennsylvania. The State tax upon real
estate was light, but ai it was maioAy assessed
and collected from residents of large cities,
and especially. from Philadulphlans, its repeal
will go far towards ameliorating the present
municipal tax of four per centum on real estate
It is a step, too, towards the establishment of
a proper system of taxation that of levy
ing upon corporations and companies,
instead of tbe masses. From the , former
large sums are easily and cheaply obtained,
and the extia expense to them is drawn from
the masses of the people. To tax real estate,
and at the same time to allow the one on cor
porations to continue in force is, simply to
tax them twice, which is manifestly wrong.
It is in this way only that taxation can be
come oppressive In a free country. Our pre
sent system of municipal taxes might be
measurably improved if, after tho reduction
of our Internal Rovenue levy, a poll
tax could be arranged for and col
lected. The sum needed from each indi
vidual will be small, but the amount receipted
in the segregate would bo sufficiently large
to warrant the reduction of the tax on real
estate very materially. '
"The Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and , Greek
races," says the Norfolk Old Dominion, "are
the only people who have attained the intelli
gence necessary to construct republican in
stitutions upon the basis of popular elections.
The Greeks and Romans failed from the effects
of the' poison of Jacfional hatred and sectional
power. Our Republic can be annihilated by
the same causes, and liberty, with the bless
ings of peace, be lost in an American edition
of the dark days of Europe. To let the negro
alone is to secure not only his welfare, but
the blessings of free institutions to the whites
and blacks alike, making one dependent upon
the other La the battle of life." j
Of course I We perfectly agree with our
contemporary, that If everybody would only let
the negro alone, he would rise by example,
and be elevated by contact with the more
educated white. But If his friends are will
ing to let him take care of himself, his foes
are not. The very men by whom it is sup
posed that he will be dignified by association
with, or as our friend romantically expresses
it, be "dependent upon in the battlejof life,"
are desirous ol crushing out every effort to
improve,of preventing'the very advancement to
accomplish which the Old Dominion urges that
the negro be left alone. If the enemies and
t j rants ol the black will only leave him alone,
bis friends will do likewise; but while he is
oppressed, simple justice compels us to de
fend him from danger. '

Distinguished Abbivals. The Com
nittee of the House of Representatives upon
Naval Affairs arrived fit tbe Continental last
evening. The followins gentlemen compose this
Committee: Messrs. William A. Darllna, of New
York: Francis C. Le Blond, of Ohio: Charles A,
Eldridpe, of Wisconsin; Augusts Brandegoe, of
Connecticut; Charles E. Phelps, of Maryland;
and William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania Hon.
Alexander H. Rico, of Massachusetts; John A.
Grig wold, of New York; and Frederick A. l'itce,
of Maine, the other members of the Committee,
are not with the delegation, Important business
detaining them in Washington. Tbe Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Captain G. V. Fox, is also
one of the party. How comes it that quite a
number of the Pennsylvania Representatives
who are at present in the city were oijiilted in
the list of invitations upon this gay and festfva
occasion. Messrs, O'Neill, Myors, and M.
Russell Thayer could have thrown some
light upon the subject If they, had been
invited to accompany the delecation. This
morning the whole delegation started for
Lesgue Island, to inspect the Iron-clads,
and also to make an examination of
the locality as a site tor a naval depot . 1 As this
is a question in which the citixeus of Philadel
phia are deeply interested, the visit ot th e Naval
Committee Is one of preat Importance. Tho
location ot the contemplated Navy Yard has been
thoroughly discussed, and we believe that
League Island is better adapted to the purpose
than any other yet snpietjd. The result of
this lnvestieation of tho Committoe will be em
braced In the report which will hortly be pre
sented to Congress.
