The Reaction n Myth
Thk great "motion" upon which our Demo
cratic friends have been so co "J "
for success this MI, daily proving itself to
be royth. Even the California election, over
Vhioh so great a "fuss" has been made, tarns
out to have displayed only the average Demo
cratic strength. Indeed, the Democratic vote
t the last election Is absolutely smaller than
at any previous election since 18G0, excepting
18CC, when there was no contest. In 18G4,
at the Presidential contest, which brought out
the full rote, and in which party strength was
accurately measured, the Democrats polled
43,841 votes for McCIellan. This year they
have polled only 42,300, showing an absolute
loss of nearly 2500 votes. The figures show that
in California there has been no reaction against
the Republican party. Had there been, the
Democratic vote would have been not rela
tively but absolutely Increased. They show
merely that a large number of the Republican
voters sufficient to determine the result of
the election dissatisfied and disgusted with
the quarrel in their own party, simply stood
aloof and refused to vote. These men are no
less Republicans than before, and upon any
Issue involving the national asoendancy of
Republican principles will be found acting
again In the ranks. The California election
gives no ground for supposing any popular
reaction against the Republican party. It
does teach the necessity of more care in the
management of the internal machinery of the
party.
The truth is, that this cry of a great "re
action" is merely an electioneering trick of
our enemies. They do not believe in it them
selves. As a New York contemporary well
remarks, if the Democratic leaders in Penn
sylvania were satisfied of a great popular
reaction in their favor, they would
not be besieging . the White House
for aid from Johnson. They would not be
trying to pack the Navy Yard, the Custom
House, and the Internal Revenue Depart
ment with Democratic blewers and strikers.
In a word, they would not be invoking the aid
of the Administration, to accomplish by the
corrupt use of Government patronage the very
result which they claim to be certain as the
fruit of a revolution in the public mind. The
fact that they are resorting to these corrupt
appliances Bhows that they are depending
upon Andrew Johnson rather than the people.
It shows that there is no popular reaction in
their favor, and that they have no belief in
any. A great movement of the people, having
its springs in their own bosoms, is not depend
ent upon a few sops from the Navy Yard or
from the Internal Revenue Department.
On the other hand, the Republican party,
both in our own State and elsewhere, la ab
solutely in a stronger and better working con
dition than it was last fall. At that time, the
conservative movement inaugurated by the
August Convention had the charm of novelty,
and of being the apparent commencement of a
real reaction. It had attracted to it some men
like Henry J. Raymond, of New York, of ac
knowledged power and influence. It threatened
a serious breach in the Republican rauks.
That movement has sinoe died out, and the
most of its supporters, all of whom had been
drawn from the Republican ranks, have re
turned to the fold of the party. The events
of the past year have served to consolidate the
entire sentiment of the party in favor of the
Congressional plan of reconstruction. Mr.
Johnson's apostacy to the Democratic party
has become more evident and indisputable.
Many conservative Republicans, who would
have been willing to follow him in an inde
pendent movement, have no idea at all of
being transferred bodily, to the ranks of the
Copperhead Democracy. Henoe it is that the
real sentiment of our State is more soundly
Republican to-day than it was last year. It
only needs that our friends ' do their whole
duty in a thorough canvass, to show to the
country a result which will be especially
astonishing to all who have been pinning their
faith and hopes upon a great "reaction."
General Sickles Endorsed.
This letter of Governor Orr, of South Carolina,
to General Sickles is a most triumphant vin
dication of the latter from the aspersions
sought to be fastened upon him by tiro Presi
dent, and stamps his removal as an aot of per
secution utterly unworthy of the Chief Magis
trate of a great nation. Governor Orr espe
cially endorses General Order "No. 10," which
was made the ostensible cause of General
Sickles removal, and says that it received the
approval of a very large majority of the citi
zens of South Carolina, while his general
administration was approved by a majority
nearly as great. Indeed, in whatever light it
may be viewed, the removal of General Sickles
appears to have been one of the most causeless
and unjustifiable of the many bad acts done by
. Mr. Johnson. The administration of General
Siokles had been characterized by great wis-
doin and moderation. He had devoted himself
With untiring assiduity to the interests of the
people of his district. They were' satisfied
with him. He had proved their protector and
defense. There was absolutely no suflloient
cause for hia removal. It was a display of the
mere obstinacy and unreasoning malioe of the
President towards a faithful and gallant
officer.
THE DAILY EYKNING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 18C7.
"Mr. Teiraol Has Always linen a Con-
slstent Democrat."
Tub political friends of Mr. Joseph N. Poirsol
felicitate themselves upon the fact that he has
"always lx-en a oonsisteiit Demoorat," and we
have no disposition to deprive them of any of
the pleasure they derive from this faot by de
nying it. We .freely admit that he has ever
been a consistent adherent to the Democratic
party and a strong advocate of its doctrines.
He fully indorsed the Chioago platform de
claring the war for the Union "a failure," and
virtually pronouncing it a wrong and an out
rage against "our Southern brethren," and
he belioves in Judge Woodward, whom the
people of Pennsylvania repudiated in 18G3,
and in Judge Bharswood, who has from the
Uench declared our currency unconstitutional,
and whom, therefore, the people of this Com
monwealth will repudiate in 18G7. We do
not deny Mr. Peirsol's "soundness" as a
modern Democrat, and those who nominated
him for the office of City Treasurer are wel
come to all the glory the fact can give
him. If the fact that he has ever
sympathized with and ardently sup
ported the party whose heart was with the
Rtbels during the Rebellion, and is with them
still, can do him any good before the loyal
citizens of Philadelphia, so be it: if the fact
that he was a co-worker in political iniquity
with such men as Charles Ingersoll, Vallan
digham, and Fernando Wood, while our citi
zens were pouring out their blood and treasure
to save the country from the ruin which
armed treason sought to bring upon it, will
aid him to get the votes of our citizens, he is
welcome to them. Whatever benefit may
accrue to Mr. Peirsol from the fact, which his
friends boast of, that he has ever been a "con
sistent Democrat," that benefit let him enjoy.
But how far will this fact benefit him in
loyal Pniladelphia. "That's the question."
Will the men whose brothers, sons, fathers,
and friends fell in the defense of the flag fly
to the support of a man whose chief boast is
that he ha3 always been a Democrat f Will
those whose relatives and friends were
murdered in the Andersonville, Salis
bury, Libby, and other Rebel prisons,
support a man because, while these friends
and relatives were being starved
and tortured to death, he was co-operating
with the Northern friends of the Rebels ? Will
it aid Mr. Peirsol for the public to know that
he was a "consistent Democrat," when nine
tenths of the Democrats of this city rejoiced
and sang hosannas (in their malignant hearts,
at least) over every Rebel victory or Union
defeat, and read with joy the long lists of
Union soldiers killed and wounded ? Will the
thousands of "Lincoln hirelings" who have
returned maimed and crippled from the war,
and their relatives and friends, see any great
merit in the fact that "Mr. Peirsol has always
been a consistent Democrat ?" We think not.
While "consistent Demooracy" required a
Demoorat to sympathize with the Rebels
during the war, it requires him to sympathize
with them still, and, therefore, to favor John
son's plan of reconstruction, which would re
store every Rebel in the land to full citizen"
ship, and give the control of the Southern
States into hands still red and reeking with
the blood of our fathers, sons, brothers, and
friends. This "consistent Democracy" in the
North would do this, and by co-operating with
Rebels in Congress and in the electoral col.
leges, would gain control of the General Gov
ernment, and enable the conquered Rebels to
rule the land.
Mr. Peirsol's "consistent Democracy" re
quires him also to endorse Judge Sharswood's
decision that the money of the Government is
not constitutionally a legal-tender. During
the war Mr. P.'s political associations were
with those who predicted that the time was
not. far distant whou the people would paper
their walls with the "Linooln rags," as
they termed the greenbacks and bonds of the
Government. Judge Sharswood, probably,
had this belief in his mind when he decided
the greenbacks unconstitutional. One of the
candidates on the Democratic ticket declared,
during the war, in rather broken Euglish,
that the time would not be
long ere he would be able to paper his saloon
walls with the bonds and notes of the Govern
ment. Mr. Peirsol, to have been a "consistent
Democrat," must have entertained a similar
belief, and the fact that he is now seeking an
office in which, if elected, he would have to
handle "such trash, la the only thing we can
accuse him of that clashes with "consistent
Democracy." Might there not be danger,
in case of his election as City Treasurer, that
Mr. Pjeirsol would not attach a proper value
to the money and bonds plaoed in his keep
ing ? Might not his contempt for the "worth
less stun1" render him indifferent to its safe
keeping? It is certainly necessary that our
City Treasurer should fully appreciate the
moneys and securities confided to his care;
and we very much fear that Mr. Peirsol's
"consistent Demooraoy" unfits hiai for the
office he seeks.
Whether Mr. Peirsol's "oonsistenoy" as a
Democrat required him to write to a United
States Senator, with whom he was personally
unacquainted, to protest against the Navy
Yard at League Island, we will not say. We
would not, however, charge the Democrats
generally with endorsing Mr. Peirsol in an
effort which, if successful, would, have proved
so seriously injurious to many of their num
ber. The profitable employment which the
new Navy Yard, or naval station, will give to
hundreds of Democratic laborers, should be a
strong Democratic argnment against Mr. Peir
sol's attempt to deprive them of it. Had
his advice been taken, very many whose votes
he expects to receive because of his "consistent
Demooracy" would have been seriously in
jured in their personal interests. Mr. Peirsol
and some of his friends, it id .u i.,t...,.
' which could be better served by keeping the
Navy Yard at the old plaoe, and allowing New
London to have the naval station, and his I
"consistent Demooracy" requires him to go
for his own interests, regardless of the welfare
of thousands of laborers, mechanics, and
e thers who desired to have the latter looated
at League Island. Will this fact make votes
for Mr. Telrsol f We shall see.
Whatever may be Mr. Peirsol's personal
merils, we submit that the faot of his having
"always been a consistent Democrat" is a
ctrong argument against electing him City
Treasurer.
The Danger JUcfore Us.
Ip the State of Pennsylvania is carried by the
Democracy in Ootober, the country will be
exposed to perils of which the war was but an
approximation. During the great struggle
we did not for a moment doubt the ultimate
result. We did not hesitate in onr belief that
the end would be just what it has been. But
if we lose the Keystone State and New York,
we dare not speculate on what deeds of reck
less madness the President will attempt. We
are not alarmists, but we know from what we
have heard from gentlemen, honorable, and
well versed in the Executive's intentions, that
he will consider a Democratic victory in our
State as an indorsement of his policy and an
encouragement for him to break down the radi
cal Congress by force of arms. At a recent
speech made in Cincinnati by Senator Thayer,
of Nebraska, he used the following significant
language:
"I liave recently been in Maryland and the
District of Columbia, bavin left Washington,
ouly night before last. While tbere I took spe
cial pains to Inform myself in regard to tne
present purposes of Mr. Johnson, and obtalued
what I am about to stale from reliable authority.
declare upon my responsibility as a Senator of
ihe United ktales, that to-day Andrew Johnson
meditates and designs forcible resistance to the
authority of Congress. I make this statement
deliberately, havluer received It from unquos..
tioned and unquestionable authority. I caunot
point out the oicrthiou on which he may attempt
to use military force. It may be to prevent the
assembling or Congress, or when assembled. If
the IlouHe of Representatives passes articles of
impeachment, or 11 may be for the purpose of
forcing the Southern Menamrs nnd Hepreseutv
lives to Heats In (Jongress. The question may
be H'-Ued, 'How cau be do auca a thing?'
You ri collect that six months ago Governor
Hwnnn, of Maryland, was elected a United
8ta(cH SeDaior, nnd that a feV weeks
afieiwnidn he declined, giving grave rea
sons or male as the cause. It was that
Lieutenant-Governor fox of that Slate could
not be trusltd for Johnson's purposes. There
is to-day a standing army iu Maryland,
an organized lu'liiia force, such as no other
State in the Unlou has, ollicored mainly by re
turned Rebels. When the lime comes which
be looks for, undersoine pretense Jourwoa may
deelure Maryland nnd the District of Columbia
under martial law, and call upon Governor
Swaun to bring forth his militia. There U
nothing that will deter Johusou from his pur
pose, except that when the ls-ue comes his
courage may fail. I make this statement that
the American people may know the daugor
that threatens their peace and safety. It Penn
sylvania and New York give Demoorallo majo
rities In the coming election, it will embolden
him to carry out his purposes. B it. gentleman,
let me Buy to you that wheuever Johnson at
tempts force, and orders auy soldleis he may
have under his commnud to rt slut the authority
of Congt ess, his doom is sealed. The lute from
which be lina preserved the traitor Juifersoa
Davis will then be meted out to him; ay, when
that t ime comes, 5X).(KM) men lrora Pennsylva.
nin. New York, and Ohio will fly to arms and
tramp the soil o. Maryland to reach the be-
lengured capital and rescue H ftoui the hanu's
of Kebels and traitors."
These declarations, made by a United States
Senator on his honor, must attract the atten
tion of our people. If the State of Pennsyl
vania goes for the Democracy, we run a great
risk, if not a certainty, of having a dreadful
tragedy at Washington. If it goes for the Re
publican party, all danger is avoided, and fear
will take the place of the audacity which now
rules Mr. Johnson. It is for the people to de
cide, and which way our loyal, Union-loving
citizens will decide does not admit of doubt.
Income and Taxes oi'our City for 18G8.
Tub Committee of Councils having in charge
the finances of our city held its meeting yes
terday, and agreed on the tax rate for 18G8.
A momentary glance at the figures would
seem to imply that the expenses of our city
were to be curtailed, as the rate for 1867 was
$4, while for 18G8 it is but $1-40. A more
careful examination will reveal the less pleas
ing fact that the aggregate amount to be
raised is an increase, and not a diminution for
the present year. In the first plaoe, the sys
tem of assessments has been radically changed.
Instead of property being put down at one.
third its real value, as has heretofore been the
custom, the whole value of the real estate was
used in computing the rate. So that, in the
aggregate, the value of property appears to
have increased to three times its previous
worth. So that $1-40, on a sum three times as
large as heretofore, brings the rate of taxation
really more than last year. Then it was $4.
Thus, on the same basis of calculation, it is
$4-20.
It may be that in many cases the increase of
the valuation does not seem such an advance
as three hundred per cent.; but if we suppose
that this is the rule, we labor under a delu
sion. The Committee of Counoils knew full
well that there was really no deduotion in the
new rates. It is easily shown that, as a whole,
there will be no deorease. The appropriations
for and during 1808 are put down at
$G, 519, 623, being an advance of near $1,200,000.
There seems, therefore, to be but a small
dance of a decrease of taxation" for the pre
sent. The necessary expenses of the city are
heavy, and when the unnecessary expenses
are added, we can feel no surprise at the
alarming tax-rate. Under the new rate, how
ever, many of our residents will find a
reduction; and by the new rule a much more
equitable division of the burden is effected
than was the case under the old system.
" Nfofofs Going to Ohio to Vote. The
MemptihMvaJaucie has information from aeve
ral responsible genilemeu who happened to be
at the Btate Capitol upou different days, that
they found there from thirteen to fifteen oars
nlled with blacks who had been brought from
Alabama, Georgia, Houth Carolina, and Bouth
ern lennessee, and were going northward. A
majority of them did not know where they
were going to, butsaid the 'Board was sending
them soiiiewhar to vote.' Home of the more
intelligent ones said they wefe goinjftoUhlo
for that purpose." ,
The above, which we clip from , the New
York World, is a fair sample of the class of
arguments dealt in by the Democratic press.
The World is intelligent eaough to know, what
its Memphis colaborer ia probably ignorant of,
that negroes do not vote in Ohio; but the
masses of Domooratio voters will accept the
above as gospel truth; and when the Demo
cratic party has been badly beaten, as it will
be in the ooming eleotion in Ohio, these
mythical blaok voters will serve to explain the
result. The "intelligent contraband" who
told "several responsible gentlemen" that the
"Board was sending them somewhar to vote"
evidently detected the politios of his ques
tioners, and cracked an appropriate joke at
the expense of their ignorant suspicions and
fears.
Illness op Mr. Stkve.vs. There is a painful
rumor abroad that the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens
is seriously, if not dangerously, ill at his resi
dence in Lancaster. Some of the Demooratio
Journals even go so far as to announce him on
hia deathbed. We are sincerely rejoiced, how
ever, to have information that while, on Sun
day morning, the "Great Commoner" was
considered in imminent peril, hi3 disease
was so much better last night as to give his
friends assuranoe that the life so valuable to
the nation is to be spared for yet further ser
vice. The United States could ill afford, at
the present time, to be deprived of the services
of Mr. Stevens. Standing as he does at the
head of all our statesmen, as a man fully alive
to the demands of the times, there is no one
so fearless in his declaration of right, so stead
fast in his adherence to principle, and so able
in debate, as the veteran who has now almost
reached his fourscore years. Ilia death would
be a national calamity. His continued life is
a guarantee of the continuance of that great
principle for which he has ever contended.
Albert Pike, unreconstructed Rebel, in
vents the story that a great many car-loads of
negroes have been sent from Tennessee and
other States into Ohio to vote at the coming
election. Pike's paper (the Memphis Ava
lanche) is quite as bitter and reokless as it
was in its enforced migrations during the war.
