OUR TRUE-COLORS.
& EMAXL sheet published at Ilarrisburg, and
known as the Telegraph, under the caption of
'Sailing undor False Colors," indulges in the
following brilliant tirade, which we reproduce
In full, with its own italicizing:
'It liaa for some time past been Intimated to us
that Thb Kvbnino Tui.KORArn, of Philadelphia, was
In the market for aale to any party that felt disposed
to become Its purchasers. We were Induced to be
lieve these Intimations rrom Its evident and frequent
attempts to levy black mall on Governor Geary.
Falling In obtaining purchase money from
either Governor Geary or the Republican
State Central Committee, It has probably
looked in another direction, with apparently
better success. We have no cause to complain if
the proprietors and editors of that Journal sell them
selves to the devil himself, If they are so disposed,
and can proflt anything by the operation. That Is
their affair, not ours. But we have a right to com
plain of their sailing under false colors. F or months
Tslbokaph as a Republican journal, notwithstand
ing its Republican professions. The pirates Semmes
ud MolIU were just as honest in their profes
sions when they hoisted the Stars and Stripes for
the purpose of deception, as Is the paper In question
when it sails under tho Republican flag. The object
Is precisely the same in both cases. The pirates
named were In the same service during the late war
as is the Philadelphia Tbi.kgraph at the
present timet It is doing more for the De
mocracy under Its false colors, or piratical
flag, than any other Democratic paper;
and we do not hesitate to expose its flimsy
disguise. Wo intended long ago to have raised our
warning voice against its false pretenses; and only
regret that we have neglected that duty so long,
jfe note advise those having that paper in charge
to take down their false colors, and hoist
the name of Asa Packer at their masthead.
There is where it belongs, and where
It should be. We also advise every Republican paper
in the State to warn its readers, when they see quo
tations in Democratic journals from the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, and represented as being from
a radical or Republican sheet, that it is a barefaced and
gross deception ; and that the Philadelphia Tei.b
graph is decidedly and emphatically in the interest
Asa Packer ana the Democratic party."
Before we devote our attention to the above
article, we desire to throw some light on tho
Source from which it emanates. The Harris
burg Tdegraph is published by one George
Bergner, to whom we can do full justice only
by stating what every person familiar with the
iniquities of the State capital will fully corro
borate, that he is one of the most notorious
and unscrupulous jobbers that Ms ever set
tled down in that place for the purpose of
greying upon ehe public spoils. During the
Administration of Mr. Lincoln he held the po
sition of Postmaster of Harrisburg, and was
fcgain appointed to that position by General
Grant, against the earnest protest of many of
the best men in the central part of the State.
Thus, in the first place, he makes a fair living
from the General Government, and we must
expect to find TM entirely subservient to the
politicians by whose influence he secured and
continues to hold his office.
But the compensation which he receives
from the Federal Government is a mere drop
In the bucket compared with the amount
which he extorts and extracts from the State
Treasury. For a number, of years past he has
published, at the expense of the State, what is
known as ' 'The Legislative Record, " and which
purports to be a full phonographic report of
the debates of -the two houses of the State
Legislature. To show what great service he
does the State in the publication of this work,
we will cite one or two samples of the manner
in which he manipulates the labors of his re
porters, in the interest of the unscrupulous
plunderers who have brought our Legislature
into such disrepute. On the 20th of last
January, when the bill affecting the office of
the Receiver of Taxes in this city was under
discussion, in the House of Representatives,
Elisha W. Davis delivered himself of some re
marks, of which tlie following is the report as
published in all the daily papers of this city
on the following day:
"If Mr. Helloy went into office, he would have the
appointment of collectors to serve for one year, and
these would be ready to issue bogus tax receipts
enough to do great damage to the Republican party
at the next election. Ho far as the newspapers were
we have ceased w rvajaru mo j-mmuKipiu
concerned, the Dispatch was not Republican, for its
editor vat a staunch Democrat, and there was no use
in auotina other guerilla sheets, tome
suvnortet
the candidates of the party. At least two
well-known Republican authorities, the Press and
north American, nau expressed no aissatisraction."
And now for the manner in which Berg
ner, ' in his "Legislative Record," contorts
this passage in Davis' speech:
"I care not how he refers to the papers. lie (Mr.
McGlnuls) may believe what he pleases of what he
sees in the Sunday Dispatch. No man can truthfully
accuse the Republican party of what has been
brought to the door of the Democratic party I do
not say that paper proclaims to be neutral. It Is not
b uepuDucan paper, ana me geutieman Knows it.
You will not flud any opposition to this bill in any of
the Republican papers
n papers oi
Philadelphia. I refer you
to the
ress, to the North American,
pers as that."
uu mi huch pa-
It will be seen that Davis' assertion that
the editor of the Sunday Dispatch is "a
staunch Democrat," and his stigmatizing
certain other papers of this city, including
The Evening Tkleqbaph, as "guerilla sheets,"
were qtiietly expunged by Bergner from the
official report of the debate, thus permitting
Davis to refer to the official record as a proof
that lie' had been wilfully and maliciously mis.
Quoted and misrepresented by the press of this
city.
Another sample of Bergner's official phono
graphic reporting will suffice to show the ob
ligations under which he daily placed the
most obnoxious members of the Legislature.
In the latter part of last May, Senator Oster
hout read, as a part of a speech in the upper
house, an affidavit by the President of the
New York and Pennsylvania Canal and Rail,
road Company, in which it was charged that
A member of the lower house from this city
vas attempting to seoure certain legislation
which would be of peouniary benefit to him
self and of corresponding peouniary loss to
the company. In Bergner's official pliono-
graphic report vie do not find a single line of
the tffidavtt tn question Our worthy city
, member was enabled to go before his con
stituents with the official report in his hand
without any mention of his alleged corrup
tion..
h'o much for the mannor in which Bergner
has acted as historiographer of our immaou
ltte law-makers. And now for the manner in
which he has been paid for expurgating the
official record,"and for sundry and divers other
little jobs. These' are so numerous and so
frequently disguised and oovered np that it is
impossible to detect them all, but in the
Auditor-General's report upon the State Fi
nances for the year ending November 30,
18G8, we find the following items of receipts
from the State Treasury by him:
85 copies of Furdon's Digest for Senate.... I3S0-00
40 copies of Zlegler s Manual for Senate.. . . 80-00

Thus it trill be seen that Bergner received
from the State Government, within a single
year, over $53,000 for services which were
practically worthless. About $7"00 alone
were received by him for certain advertising
in his paper, which, in consequence of its
meagre circulation, was equivalent to an
actual throwing away of the money; and full
$32,745 for garbling the debates of the Legis
lature in the manner we have set forth above.
Our readers can now see the nature of the
source from which springs the above assault
upon the loyalty and Republicanism of The
Evening Telegraph. The rings and cliques
for whom Bergner acts as the mouthpiece
have nothing to say in the management of
this journal, and it is quite natural that they
should endeavor to make it appear that we
have sold out to Asa Packer and the Demo
cratic party, and are no better than the
pirates Semmes and Moffit. But those who
have been steady readers of this journal since
its foundation have not mistaken the
colors under which we have always sailed,
are still sailing, and intend to continue to
sail. With the true principles of the great
war party of the Union we are still, as we
have always been, in hearty sympathy. Above
all things, we desire to witness the triumphant
success of the Republican party, and to con
tribute to its success in every possible way.
For this reason we are not disposed to upliold
any of the incompetent, intriguing, and un
scrupulous jwlitical tricksters who are
endeavoring to 'render the Republican
party of this city and State a mere stepping
stone through whose agency they can raise
themselres high enough to gvt their fingers
into thepubbic treasury and thepockets of the
people. If they succeed in the future as
they have succeeded in the past, the party is
doomed, and if the honest and respectable
members of the party permit such to be its
fate, its fate will be just what it deserves.
We have been endeavoring to contribute our
share towards its purification, conscious that
we have the sympathy and support of the best
elements which enter into it, and we shall
continue in our present course, confident that
honesty and capacity will prevail in the end.
THE WAREHOUSING SYSTEM.
At a late meeting of the Board of Trade a
repcrt attacking the warehousing system was
presented. It wound up, however, with a
"lame fnd impotent conclusion," for, instead
of recommending the abolition of a system
denounced as injurious to American interests,
it merely proposed the passage of a law pro
viding that, upon the withdrawal of merchan
dise for consumption, the importers should
be charged with "interest at the rate of six
per cent, per annum upon the whole amount
of the duties upon such goods, wares, or
merchandise, from the time of the entry of
such goods for warehousing until the with
drawal of the same for consumption."
This proposition was justly denounced by
one speaker as a petty and irritating exac
tion, while several others defended the ware
housing system, and the consideration of the
subject was finally postponed until the next
meeting.
The pretext for the proposed new measure
is that the Government, by failing to charge
interest on imported goods from the moment
they are warehoused, gives a donation equal
to the amount of the proposed charge to
foreign manufacturers and producers. This
idea is wholly fallacious, for the Government
simply abstains from a small-potato warfare
on its own declared policy and from imposing
an additional burthen, in a contemptible
form, upon American consumers.
Goods in warehouse are properly made to
pay all the expenses of storage and supervi
sion, and the owners or importers of mer
chandise necessarily lose the interest on the
value of their goods during the period that
they remain in warehouse; but there is no
plausible reason for adding to these
charges an additional governmen
tal exaction equivalent to the
interest of the declared value of the articles
imported, from the time of importation to
the date of the withdrawal. While they re
main in warehouse they are not a legitimate
object of taxation, for their final destination
is uncertain, and they are constantly liable to
re-exportation to foreign countries. After
this uncertainty is terminated by their with
drawal for consumption, they are rightfully
placed, under the present system, on the
same footing as goods newly arrived; and it
would be almost as unjust to make the pro
posed charge for interest as it would be to
make a governmental charge of interest on
foreign goods from the date of thoir nianu-
facture. At all events, the new exaction
would be oppressive and impolitio, and it
would have a strong tendency to accomplish,
by indirection, what the authors of the re
port appear to be loo timid to openly reoom
mend, the abolition of the warehousing
system.
If there are good reasons for such aboli
tion, lot it be done openly mid directly, "but it
does not become a great Government to at
tack what is deemed an evil in an insidious
and underhanded manner. The report al
leges that the warehousing system has failed to
materially facilitate commerce; that it inflicts
positive injury upon our domestic manufac
tures; that it enables foreigners and thei re
presentatives to drive American importers
from business; that "the people of this
country are taxed to furnish to strangers con
veniences injurious to themselves;' that it
piles "upon the edge of the market" a per
petual reserve of competing goods which
are "ready to burst upon it and derange
prices at any time;" and that it "offers a
premium upon foreign manufactures, and
thus militates against our own."
If these assertions are unqualifiedly true,
and if no valid defense can be made of a sys
tem assailed by so many startling allegations,
Congress should have no hesitation in de
stroying it at once by a direct law; and it is
dangerous, as well as contemptible, to an
tagonize merely by petty taxation a system
which is exercising such an injurious influ
ence. .
But the charges againjrt the warehousing
system cannot be substantially sustained. It
may, occasionally, afford a few incidental
advantages to the importers of foreign goods;
but, on the other hand, it in of great service
to American merchants, the American people,
and the Government.
While it has failed to make the United
States "the entrepot of a universal com
merce," it has at least facilitated the re-exportation
of foreign goods, and granted inci
dental aid of no mean importance to the
shipping interests, which are, from exceptional
causes, in a peculiarly languishing condition.
The value of goods re-exported from ware
houses, for the twelve months ending on the
30th of June, 1809, was !9,72J,0GG. The
sum was not very large, to be sure, but a great
variety of articles were re-exported, and it
would be unjust as well as ungenerous to
interpose new obstacles to the recuperation
of our mercantile marine at a time when it is
still suffering so much from the devastations
of piratical cruisers and other effects of the
war.
It is true that a large proportion of the
goods imported are warehoused. .The figures
for the twelve months ending June 30, 18G9,
are as follows:
Entered for consumption $252,101,392
" , warehouse. 184,925,149
But a large portion of the goods warehoused
were evidently put in store as a mere matter
of temporary convenience, being speedily
withdrawn. The importers as well as the
Government were benefited by this transac
tion the former by gaining time to obtain
the gold necessary to pay duties, and the lat
ter by obtaining all the revenues imposed
instead of taking the chances of an auction of
condemned goods, which might not have re
sulted in realizing, in all cases, the full
amount of the duties. As a mere aid in in
creasing the revenues from importstho ware
housing system renders great service; and it
is worthy of consideration whether it should
not be maintained on this ground alone, even
if no other argument in its favor could be
adduced. While it protects tl.a Government
in this respect, it also protects American
manufacturers from the damage to their inte
rests, which would occasionally result from
the forced sale of large quantities of imported
goods for default of payment of imposts.
More than half of the goods warehoused for
any considerable period of time do not com
pete with American products, and the ware
house system performs an important function
by facilitating the storage of largo quantities
of foreign articles entering into universal
consumption, and thus guarding the people
from extraordinary fluctuations in value, or
an absolute deprivation of their accustomed
luxuries. On the 30th of June, 18G9, the
total value of all goods remaining in ware
house was $02,427,590, and the four items of
sugar, molasses, tea, and coffee made up far
more than half this amount, viz.:
CotTee $8,787,068
Tea 4,435,843
Sugar, brown and relined 25,(111,141
Molasses 1,932,042
$33,710,084
In the present state of affairs in Cuba, it is
not improbable that our supplies of sugar
from that island may speedily be cut off. It
is reported that the insurgents intend to
destroy the crop, as far as possible, rather than
suffer it to fall into the possession of the
Spanish authorities. In view of this danger,
the stock of sugar in warehouse was increased
from 323,000,000 pounds in June, 18G8, to
521,000,000 pounds in June, 18G9. The ware
housing system facilitated this increase, which
may speedily become essential to the comfort
of millions of American families, by not re
quiring an immediate outlay of capital for the
payment of duties. Its abolition would
greatly retard similar displays of prudential
forethought hereafter in regard to tea and
coffee, as well as sugar, and constantly leave
the people dependent upon a thousand acci
dents or incidents of international warfare
for their most necessary supplies. On this
ground, also, the warehousing system should
be sustained. Even if it does do some little
harm, occasionally, to a few interests, it bene
fits many others, as well as the nation at
large, and Congress will, we trust, be slow to
adopt the proposition presented to the Board
of Trade.
THE DEFECTION OF FATHER 117 A
CINTUE. Just as the Church of Rome is preparing to
hold with all possible pomp and dignity a
great (Ecumenical Counoil, which will reassert
her doctrines and authority and inaugurate a
fresh crusade against heresies of all descrip
tions that are undermining the influence of
the CLurch, a new reformer tnv made his ap
pearance In a protest against tho doctrines'
and practices of Rome. Fere Hynointhe, tho
fcreat Carmelite monk, the most eloquent
Frenchman of the day, whose broad and
iberal views and fervent religious enthusiasm
have been the wonder and admiration of
thcusands, and who wields more personal in
fluence than any preacher in the ranks of the
Roman clergy, has written a loiter in which
he announces his abandonment of his con
vent, and his determination no longer to
preach as heretofore in the Cathedral of Notro
Dame of Paris, giving as his reasons that he
cannot obey the orders of the Holy See, and
entering a protest before the Pope and Conn
cil against the doctrines and practices of the
Roman Church, which he contends are not in
accordance with the principles of Chris
tianity. The secession of such a man as Pore Hya
cinthe is as hoavy a blow as the Church could
well have received at this juncture, and it
will be well for Catholicism if the great coun
cil will candidly and dispossionately consider
the reasons for this defection. Tore Hya
cinthe is the representative more advanced
in his views, possibly, than the majority of a
very large class of French and German
Catholics, who are dissatisfied with having
the whole government of the Church at
Rome in the hands of the Italian clergy.
Men like Pere Hyacinthe mingle more with
the world tkan do their Italian brethren, and
they are able to study men as they exist in
the present age; they are familiar with the
currents of modern thought and ideas; and
they understand plainly enough that if the
Church is to battle successfully with its anta
gonists, it will have to abandon some of its
obsolete ideas and practices, and bring itself
to a realizing sense of the iact that things
have changed since the time when the thun
derbolts of Rome made thrones tremble.
The letter of Pere Hyacinthe has caused a
profound sensation in France, and it is taken
as a sign of trouble to come when the council
commences its discussions. The secular
journals, for the most part, commend the
great preacher for his bold and fearless stand,
while the religious press laments his seces
sion.' One journal says, referring to his
letter, that "no such language has been heard
in the French Church since the middle ages, "
which is true enough, but times have changed
greatly since the middle ages, and the Church
is impotent to suppress such a reformer as
Pere Hyacinthe, who having now declared
himself plainly as opposed to the principles
and practices of the Church, will have less
hesitation than ever in attacking the evils
which he desires to see reformed. The defection
of Pere Hyacinthe, as we understand it, does
not necessarily mean an abandonment of the
Catholic religion, but it is rather a protest
against the abuses which have crept in, and
which are destroying the influence of the
Church. This was the attitude of the early
Reformers, and Protestanism, as we know it,
is rather the result of the infatuated action of
the Chvrch itself than of any desire of the Re
formers to separate themselves from its com
munion. Pere Hyacinthe is the representa
tive of the popular feeling in France, and he
is the opponent of the Ultramontanism which
is patronized by the Empress, and through
her by such of the aristocracy as profess to
have any religion at all. His protest is a
significant sign of the times, and it will be in teresting
to note the effect it will produoe in
the Church itself, and upon those branches of
it which are jealous of the preponderance of
Italinn influence in its councils.
