Taxes on bread, taxes on butter, taxes on beef, taxes on everything we eat or wear. He even went so far as to estimate those taxes to amount to one hundred dollars jier year on every family of six persons, or about sixteen dollars each. We over-heard a democrat, on the pavement, growl, "and rebels, such as you, have m>ide them.' ' There was the point. Just such men as addressed the copperhead meeting on Saturday night laid all the heavy burthen of taxation on the shoulders of our people. How can such men have the brazen impudence to come into our midst and try to lay the curse of their own sins at the doers of the men whose lives they undertook to destroy, whose gov ernment they attempted to subvert, and on whose free institutions they, by a bloody war, essayed to build a temple to slavery, with all its barbarous and cruel concomitants? Well said noblp democrat, ' 'and rebels, such as you, have made them.'' that, has the sound of the old time democracy when her men loved their country and stood by her flag. There are still a few of that stamp left. Thank God there are still some left who will not bow the knee to rebel teaching; who can see through the hypocrisy, falsehood and shallow sophistry of rebel speeches. 'And rebels, such as you, have made them.' Not only the sixteen dollars of annual taxa tion which this scape-grace figured up, but the millions more that have already been paid. And rebels, such as you, have made them —made the houses of mourning through all the land, where fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends mouni the loss of loved ones, whose bones bleach upon southern soil. 'And reikis, such as you, have made them 1 —made the graves of the brawe men that dot the southern plains, where repose the starved thousands of Andersonville and Belle Isle, and the murdered thousands of Fort Pillcw and Plymouth. 'And rebels, such as you, have made them' made the barren fields, desolated home steads, and charred ruins of once flourishing towns and cities, that now mark the course of war's devastating tide. And rebels, such as you, have made them' —-made the widows and orphans, depen dents on the nation's charity for food, rai ment and shelter, and for whose support a large portion of the present and future burthen of taxes must be laid upon the people. "And rebels such as you have made them"—and such as you would now repudiate the nation al debt. bankrupt the country and send these houseless and homeless widows and orphans, to whom the country owes such a just debt, not only of support. hut of* gmtitudo •wuy empty—yea, would turn them out upon the cold charities of the world to beg or starve. Shame upon such cold, cruel, heartless hy pocrisy. 'Andrelth, suchjis you, have made them' —made the poor maimed heroes whom we daily meet upon the street—him hobbling upon crutches because your rebel cannon shot hits carried away the support that na ture gave him —him with the empty sleeve, whose good right arm was torn away by youi cruel rebel "shell—and you, shameless rebels,'come among us, invited by whining hypocrite*, to insult the good sense of the community and outrage common humanity, )>> jour hypocritical cant about taxes; taxes to pay the debts that your traitorous hands have laid upon the honest, loyal, industrious peace-loving citizens 0 f the land, in the ef fc rt .j establish an aristocratic slave driving government where you, and such as you, might roll your lazy carcasses in easy car nages, and snap your slave driving whips over the bodies and souk of tnen, your su jteriors in everything but brazen impudence. 'And rebels, such as you, have made them' —made them pensioners on the bounty of the Government —and such as you (and none less mean than such as yon) would now take away the pittance they receive, refuse to pay your taxes, repudiate your honest and honorable debts, and send these maim- Ed heroes to beg their daily bread. Shame! Shame ! 1 Shame!! 1 Shall honest men. shall decent and honorable men brook such insult? And these rebels ask you to vote for Seymour and Blair, who are pledged to a new rebellion. They ask you to help in augurate a new rebellion, to make more widows and orphans, more maimed and crippled men. And they would doubtless come back > again after this new holocaust and once more advise you to repudiate your debts, refuse to pay your taxes, and send a new army of cripples to beg their bread from door to door. And such is Chivalry! And such is Maryland Chivalry! And such are the men the Copperheads of Bedford county bring here to teach the people. To teach the people forsooth! Hypocrisy, Cant, Dishonesty, Cowardly, Cruel Inhu manity, at which the barbarism of the Mid dle Ages would blush with shame. Such teachers were fit emissaries of the Evil one himself, and very' proper advocates of the cause of Seymour and Blair and a new Re bellion. THADDUUS STEVENS. The remains of Thaddcus Stevens, the Great Commoner, were interred at Lancas ter, Pa., on Monday last, with appropriate honors. The citizens of Lancaster, with many distinguished men from all parts of the country, together with the Governor and Heads of Departments of thd State, follow ed the remains to the grave, and paid their last tribute of respect to the honored dead. In him the nation mourns the loss of a fear less advocate of freedom, an able and con- j scicntious statesman, and an incorruptible I patriot Pennsylvania has lost in him her most distinguished citizen, and one to whom her people owe a larger debt of gratitude than any other man who has ever lived within her borders. Her Common School System is the product of his far-seeing statesmanship, and was established alone by his fearless advocacy of it, when it was fought with the most bitter opposition by a slave bound aristocracy. Whatever his sliort-comings, he has been a benefactor to the state and the nation, and it will be long ere we look upon bis like again, whether for great ability, sterling integrity, or far seeing statesmanship. One of the most remarkable men of his age, his name will ever occupy a distinguished place in our country's history. As the fearless leader of Congress through the darkest days of our history, he well deserves, and will long be known and honored by the name of the Great Commoner. He. died at the post of duty. Full of honors and of years he has gone to his reward. A bereaved nation mourns his loss and will long revere his j memory. A DEMOCRAT was overheard to ask a ] Republican whether he knew the cause of the adjournment of the Democratic meeting, on last Saturday evening, from the Court House to the front of Shoemaker's Hotel. The Republican couldn't tell unless it was feared that no person could be induced to go to the Court House. "No, no," said the Democrat, "thev adjourned to the hotel so i they would have the whisky handy." Ow ing to the smallness of the crowd, it is said, the proprietor didn't realize a fortune out of the speculation. The next meeting will be held in front of the Mengel House, or the County Treasurer will "bolt." The profits of these meetings must be fairly divided or there will be a division in the camp. There have not been any meetings in front of the "Union," this may account for the declina tion bv its proprietor of the auditorship ten dered him by the Democratic County Con vention. How much of a percentage do the landlords pay the Chairman of the Dem ocratic Committee out of the profits of these meetings? THE whole country will be rejoiced to learn that Commissioner Rollins of the In ternal Revenue Department is now likely to continue in office until the close of the pres ent Presidential term. The copperheads have been making desperate efforts to have him removed so that the patronage of the Department might be used by them for elec tioneering purposes. This nice little game seems at last to be permanently blocked, thanks to the sensible and honest opinions of Attorney General Evarts. Commissioner Rollins has filled his present position with probably more acceptableness to the whole country than any other of the Department officers, not a breath of suspicion having ever been attached to his name either in the way of dishonesty, nor what is now so very com mon, making a political use of his position, May so honored and deserving an officer long be continued iD the responsible position he now occupies. His removal was sought alone for political reasons and the effort has met the failure it so justly merited. TUE papers of the opposition are crowded with articles on ' Radical Plunderers" "Radical Extravagance" "Mountains Debt" and "Taxes! T-a-x-e-s! T—a—x e—si" Do they remember that the Dem ocratic Party, through its Southern leaders, made war upon the Government, stole its ■hips, arsenals, forts, mints, and created a Jobt of ♦4-000,000,000 ? Tlic icsponsibility for every dollar of debt which was created and every life which was lost in the late un holy war, rests upon the shoulders of the Democratic Party! That party was in the majority almost every where, its leaders, the very men that it is to-day cringing to and carrying upon its hands, took up arms and refused any terms until whipped like hounds. Are the people prepared to trust that party again? A Democratic orator, shouting at the top of *' lungs, exclaims. "I assert now, as a historical fact, without fear of successful contradiction, that the repre sentatives of no two races have ever yet suc cessfully mingled in the administration of the affairs of a government for any length of time." The gentleman had forgotten, or never knew, that negroes were never refused equal participation in all the political rights of the whites in every one of the New England States exoept Connecticut, nor were they denied in any one of the original thirteen states until the interests of slavery demand ed that they should be excluded from such rights. Arc the New England States not prosperous? Do they not give the lie to the above ? _______________ OB! UO'.—TheTerrc Haute Express of the 20th ult., says that Frank Blair, in a , speech made in Gilma&'s cooper shop, in that city, declared he "t could rather sleep with a nigger than a Democrat." The Express adds that "hundreds of our citizens of both political parties will swear that they j heard Frank use the exact language quoted." "DESERTING THE SHIP." The Democratic line seems to be in much the same condition as was the Rebel line in front of Petersburg just after Sheridan's victory at Five Forks. All along the line the Democratic Generals evince a painful consciousness of being out flanked, and the run for Appomattox has begun. Look at the following list of late leaders in the ranks of the foul Democracy, who have left the sinking craft, and arc now sailing along with the Nation's crew to victory in November : Caleb Cashing regards the Seymour tick et with contempt. Chief-Justice Pearson of North Carolina, a Conservative, IB out for Grant. Senator Doolittle is downcast, and has no faith in the Seymour ticket. Major-Gen. Gordon of Indianna, a Dem ocrat till Seymour was nominated, takes the stump for Grant. Gen. Steedman, who would have support ed Johnson, or Hancock, or McClellan, re pudiates Seymour. The Hon. George M. Weston of Rangor, a wheel-horse of the Democratic party, takes the stump for Grant. The Maryland Conservatives, who have heretofore suatained Swann, have held a meeting and declared for Gen. Grant. Mr. Evarts, Mr. Seward, Mr. McCulloch, and, so far as known, the other members of the Cabinet, will support Grant and Culfax. lion. T. W. Green, a long tried Demo erat of Indianapolis, lnd., is on the stump for Grant and Colfax. Surveyor General Sleeper, of Leaven worth, Kansas, a Democrat, has quit the Copperheads. • Hon. Daniel Kilien, a prominent Demo crat of Wyandotte, Kansas, has gone and done likewise. The Tipton Times, the ablest and most influential Democratic journal in the eighth Indiana district, repudiates the New York ticket. P. 11. Sibley, of California, a member of the Democrat State Committee, has written a scathing letter against the Cops., and is for Grant and Colfax. Gen. J. Bowman Sweitzer, always a Democrat of Alleghany county, and a gal lant soldier in the war, declares for Grant and Colfax. John Belfroy, who published a Democrat paper in Minneapolis, Minnessota, cant't go Seymour and Blair, and is now publish ing a Grant and Colfax paper in Meeker county, in that State. General Kosecrans, one of the heroes of the war, washes his hands of the action of the New York convention and denounces the action of the disloyal gathering. He openly declared for Grant and Colfax. The Elmira Gazette, the only" Copper head daily in Chemung County, New \ T ork, has come out for Grant and Colfax, declar ing Horatio Seymour can not and should not be elected President. Not a single member of the Cabinet, or prominent officer of the Government, has given the least intimation of intention to support Seymour. The Hon. Dennis McCarthy and Gen David S. Wilson of lowa, both life-long Democrats, bolt Seymour and take the stump for Grant. Judge Lindsey of Kokomo, lowa, nomi nated, for Presidential Elector by the Dem ocrats of the VHlth District, bolts Sey mour and takes the stump for Grant. Late indications seem to be that Andrew Johnson himself will either remain neutral, which would be a new attitude for hiiu, or come out in support for Grant. The Hon. Thomas N. Sttllwell", United States Minister to Venezuela, and General J. L. Swift, both Johnson Democrats, have returned to the Republican fold, and arc stumping for Grant and Colfax. Rumor has it that Collector Smythe, fol lowing in the footsteps of the illustrious Thurlow Weed, repudiates Democracy, and will declare for Grant as soon as he can read his title clear. Should the President support Grant, as he probably will, Mr. Seymour will proba bly not be honored by the support of more than a corporal's guard among the 41,W0 office-holders of the Government. The Germania, a Democratic paper in Ohio, has declared for Grant. It spurns the idiotic doctrine, "Once a Democrat al ways a Democrat," and says: "Our prin ciple is: Leave the party if you think it is wrong, and go to the party which aims at right; never pledge yourself to any party, because it may fall." Nearly every exchange we pick up speaks of additions to the Union ranks. Hurrah for the Nation's hero! Fall in! A little more room left! Come before it is too late! VOTES AS HE SHOT. The following correspondence comes to us from Bloody Run. It has the ring of the true metal: "One of the Vice Presidents of the Sey mour and Blair meeting on Saturday even ine week was hitherto a Republican. "That's the way the wind blows." — Bed ford Gazette Aug. 14tb, 18G8. ED. INQUIRER : — DEAR SIR:—I suppose the above article refers to me. I was hith erto a Republican and think "the wind blows" that way yet. If I have changed my politics I have yet to find it out, and ex pect to vote as I shot, for the Union. JAMES T. SHEEDER. THE chaps who edit the Democratic pa pers are occasionally guilty of some very im politic things, one of the most stupidjof these is to persist in calling General Grant a drunkard! There is no better recommenda tion could be given to any Democratic candi date than to have it generally understood, among the members of the party, that he occasionally imbibed too freely. Half the Democratic party will vote for General Grant, if they believe their ownpapers, and will act consistently. Democrats are gen erally consistent too when it comes to whis key ! THE Democratic Party is engaged in the small business of calling all persons, who emigrate to the Southern States, "carpet baggers," however, it is but a short time since they as effectually abased the "knap sackers" who made incursions in the same direction. The Democratic party has only one idea and that is to eat dirt befoA the Southerners and toady to them. It is the same old doughface and dirt-eating party that it has been time out of mind. THERE is a paper in New York called the World, which is running a tilt against THE HERALD. This reminds us very much of a fellow named Reynolds, who a few years ago ran a tilt for Congress against the late much lamented Thaddeus Stevens. The fellow, Reynolds, who a few weeks ago made a speech up here, in his letter of acceptance said he was happy in having an "opponent j worthy of his steel." HON J. B. FELLOWS, of Arkansas, in a speech delivered by him at Rochester, New York, complained very much of the north ern men, who have emigrated to the South, being elected to office. Now it seems to ns the principal part of this difficulty lays in the fact that the loyal people of those States did not elect the other "fellows;" of course we mean the "fellows" who were in the rebellion. CONGRESSIONAL —The vote of the Repub lican convention of Adams County, on Monday last, was cast John Cessna for Congress. This gives Mr. Cessna Bed ford, Franklin and Adams and insures his nomination. Of Mr. Cessna's fitness for the office for which he is nominated it is unnecessary for us to speak. He is kuown throughout the state as one of her ablest as well as one of her most active and energetic public men. lie will conduct a vigorous and successful, campaign and will make an ac tive and able member of the national House of Representatives. THE Doctors who control the Democratic Party, and they ail smack of the "Negro-dri vers whip" and the "Slave pen," claim that thev should be permitted to Recon struct the Southern States. It may be true, they having broken them up, that they may understand the matter of Reconstruc tion better than those who have always sup ported the existing state of things. But if this is their reason it would be well if they would say so. It is the reason why we do not think they ought to be permitted to do it. THE death of Thaddeus Stevens is be wailed by the Radicals as a loss to the country, by which they mean a loss to their party. The crack of bis whip gave them the votes of thousands of cowards.—Harrit burg Patriot. His was not the "Slave-drivers" lash, but the lash of Freedom, and, therefore, it could not be expected that it would find favor in the eyes of the only slaves of the South. How many votes, for the Demo cratic party, will be made by the crack of the former "negro-drivers" whip now used to lash the Democratic party ? THE system of slavery has undergone a change in this country. A few years ago none but negroes were subject to the South ern masters, now the tune has changed, the [ negro is a free man, and the whole Demo j cratic party of the north have taken the place of the negroes, and we are under the impression that they are the more obedient of the two to the rebel aristocracy of the South. No Northern Democrat dares to deny or dispute the right of the southern rebel to domineer over him. BE HONEST. —-The Gazette of last week prints and pretends to criticise garbled ex tracts from our article of the previous week on equal taxation, its especial hobby. It is an easy but a very dishonest and dishonora ble thing to garble and misrepresent an ar ticle which you cannot meet fairly and hon estly. We dare the Gazette to publish our arti' 'e in full and let its readers see the hy pocrisy of its strictures, as well as the shal low sophistry of its equal taxation bobby. THE DEMOCRATS are very much outraged at the conduct of the "carpet-baggers" in the Southern States, men who have gone there and have become bona fide residents, but "rejoice with exceeding great joy" over the Democratic triumph in Montana, the resort of all the gamblers, theives, cut throats, murderers, and every other pest of society, who have lodged there until a more democratic place turns up. These fellows are not "carpet-baggers," oh, no! THE issue in the present Presidential canvass is Shall we have Peace or War? Grant says "Let us have peace," Blair says that all the Governments of the recon structed States must he over-turned, there fore. he says We must have war! Good citizen, which do you desire? Peace or War? If the former, vote for Grant, if the latter, vote for Seymour! WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS DONE. We are in favor of giving the Democratic party credit for all it hs ever done. Nor is it hard to do this for the facts of its ca reer are spread over history as are the ca lamities which it induced now felt by every man, woman and child in the country. Glenni W. Sehoficld, affords the testimony of what the Democratic party has done, and takes four years of Democratic career under James Buchanan to show up its record. He points to the gallows upon which they immolated old John Brown, a brave hut daring enthusiast of human freedom; but its victim is more honored to-day than its cruel architects. Just lieyond is the Dred Scott decision, rendered in violation of pre cedent, law, and Constitution for the bru talization of four million Christian people. Lt has no friends now. Further on you be hold the Missouri compromise—our father's bond of Union—the peace offering of its day, repudiated, broken, and trampled un der foot that the inhumanity of the Lour might be without restraint. Standing around it, as fit witnesses of the wrong, are the "border ruffian war," the "Lecompton villiany," and the small tyrannies of Pierce and Buchanan. Still further down this dreary history stands the "fugitive slave law," to which every Democratic knee was wont to bow. Its manacles are broken. Its bloodhounds no longer bay upon the track of its victims. No garlands crown its ugly brow. It has no worshippers, no admirers, no defenders, no apologist even. All have sneaked away. These are the monuments of their administrations. Du" ring all these weary years -othing was done by the predominant party to elevate and honor labor, to educate the poor, to lift up the fallen, to endow the landless, or to soft en the cruelties of bondage. You cannot point to a single act that anybody will cele brate, that anybody will honor, that anybody will remember ever except with regret or .-tiamn. -fffrrte (■hulrd. POLITICAL REVOLUTION IN MA RYLAND. A Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette , of Friday, says: A very important political movement was begun in Baltimore last night. Leading spirits of the Republi cans who followed Governor Swann over to the Democracy met and announced their determination to go for Grant and Colfax. Of these there were present Win. Thomp son, Secretary to Mr. Swann, while he was Mayor of Baltimore, and recently Sheriff of this city. Thomas H. Moles, late Senator; John Thomson, late member of the House of Delegates; Young Tall, Jr., one of Mr. Swann's most liberal registers; William Thomas Valliant. ex-Conservative Police Commissioner, who took an active part" in the ousting of Police Commissioners Woods and Hindes. Jacob Waltenicyer. ex-mciu ber of the House of Delegates; Adam K old er, Joseph Hawes, ex-members of the Leg islature; William H. Pcaree and John 11. Pearce. There were a number of parties 1 present who now hold jKisitions under the Federal or State governments. Ex-Police Commissioner Valliant presided. Sheriff Thomson's remarks were indicative of the tone of all the speakers. He said here in Maryland we have witnessed the arrogance of the modern Democracy. They have ne glected the Union men who led them into power. I have determined not to be fright ened by the hobgoblin of negro equality, nut shall vote for Grant. We have not to be afraid of these peonle whom we have lifted up and tried to make men of. Our object is to initiate a conservative movement for Grant. Mr. Valliant said that in consult ing with prominent Conservatives in Wash ington, he had found them to be unani mously in favor of Grant, A resolution to prepare an address to the country was unan mously adopted. POLITICAL ITEMS. BKTMOCR has never held a national office, and so far as national politics are concerned be cannot be a statesman by experience. The Democracy of Baltimore have resolved to drop the name coimervatice as applied to their organization, and rely hereafter on what is purley Radical (which means treason) in their creed. The Democrats imported rebels from the South to stump the North against Lincoln, and initiate rebellion. They are now importing the same class of men to slump the North against Graut and initiate revolu tion. A private letter from California, referring to the revival of political interest as the Presidential election draws near, says it seems like old times again. The German vote will be given to Grant and Colfax, which will ensure the State for that ticket. GOVERNOR FKNTON has appointed General Patrick 11. Jones, present clerk of the Court ol Appeals, Register of the city ot New York in place of General iialpine, deceased. It is understood the fees of the office until the Ist of January will be passed over to Mrs. Hal pine by Gen. Jones. A MEETING ot men, hertofore known us Conservative Republicans, in Maryland, was held in Baltimore, Tuesday night, for the purpose of inaugurating a movement in tavor of Grant and Colfax. The meeting was ad dressed by a number of the gentlemen pres ent, and it was resolved to prepare an address to the whole country. IT is officially reported from Texas, that in the three years ending with last, no less than nine hundred and thirty-nine homicides were committed within the State. The murderers were, with few exceptions, "either confeder ate officers or soldiers, or bushwhackers dur ing the late war, and now constitute one of the legitimate entailments of secession and rebellion." WHILE Western Democratic papers attack the Funding bill as a scheme of "bloated bondholders," the Domocratic papers in the East denounce it as a proposition "to deplete bondholders to the tune of one-third of the iucome derivable from their five-twenties." So it is that the Democracy, without any settled financial policy of their own. hope to profit by playing fast and lose. MILLIUAV, the notorious Indiana Copper head, in a recent speech delivered near Lo gansport, after arguiug the entire equality of the Confederate soldiers witli the boys in blue proceeded to justify the repudiation of our own war debt, under the same constitutional provisions which forbid the recognition of the rebel obligations. That is about what the arguments of the Pennsy Ivaiiia Copperheads will sift down to. Oca Democratic exchanges are publish ing a list of fifteen Union Generals who support Seymour and Blair. Two of the number have already pronounced for the Republican ticket* Five more were retired in disgrace during the war. Due of the I number has been court martiaied and punished since the close of the war. Two were never in any engagements; one is dead, and of the remaining four the country never heard, unless it be Slocum. MR. ROIIERT TOOBS before the war declared the purpose of the South to call the roll of slaves at the foot of Hunker Hill .Monument, lie has just matleja spoech at Atlanta, in whith he makes the following indisputable state ment: "I will tell you another fact, which is enough for this time—that as the late war was produced by the defeated Democratic parly of 18ft0, we shall never have peace till it is restored in 1868." IT is officially reported from Texas, that in the three years ending with June last, no less . than nine hundred and thirty-nine homicides *ere committed within the State. The mur derers were, with few exceptions, "either Confederate officers or soldiers, or bush whackers, durning the late war. and now constitute one of the legitimate entailments of secession and rebellion." A DEMOCRAT of over forty years' standing in Annapolis remarked the other day: "The nomination at New york are the most popular nominations ever made in this country." Upon being asked to give his reasons: he re plied: "Becanse those nominations please all the Republicans and ucarly half the Demo crats." During the war, to encourage the rebels, the Democracy insisted it was Constitutional for a State to secede. Now that secession has been defeated, to conciliate those who sympathised with treason, the Democracy insist it is legal and right to repudiate the war debt. Such is the ascord of a party professing to the faithful to national life and integrity. J WAUE HAMPTON, the rebel General who uominat.ed Frank Blair for Vice President, j ina late speech declared: "The cause for which Jackson (Stonewail) and Stewart fell cannot be in vain, but in some form will jet triumph." Of course Hampton knows of what he speaks in view of the present cou duct of Blair, who is pledged to restore trai tore to their "rights." LOOK AT THIS. —The flag with which Frank Blair now marches, at the head of the Demo cratic column, is not the one under which he fought a few years ago, but it is the black flag of discord and civil war for the country and a war of races for the South. He flings forth the banner of a strange revolution in behalf of Southern rights, in which "the warmest men are the men of the North" who are seek ing, not the redress of wrongs, but the grati fication of their love of power at the hazard of the ruin of their country. CONSISTENT, VERY, —Some of our semi rebel exchanges are terribly exercised over the fact that a company of colored soldiers was allowed to watch over and guard the dead body of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens. These same fellows were glad enough to have colored soldiers protect their property from the en croachment of their Southern "friends," and to have the colored man go into the army as a substitute, aiM thns keep their unhallowed carcasses out of the range of rebel bullets. We know of no colored man so low as to ac cord such as these the honor of attendance upon a like occasion. THE Alabama Legislature has left the question of the Presidential election in a very uncertain condition. The veto of the Gover nor against the appointment of electors of President by the Legislature, was not taken up and the strength of the friends of the bill tested. The veto message was suffered to lay upon the table, and the Legislature adjourn ed to meet on the first Monday of November. This is the day before the Presidential elec tion. What, under the circumstances, it will be proper to do, will be an embarrassing question to Aiabamians. THE War Democracy of the country are beginning to organize for another; great campaign in favor of the principles at the ballot-box for which they suffered so much on the battle field. In the State of New York the War Demoreacy hove already effected a thorough organization. They are greatly alarmed at the present aspect of affairs, and are by no means prepared to go buck upon their war record, and ignore all that they have done by supporting Seymour and Wade Hampton, and contributing their votes and means to ingugurate anarchy and another civil war. Some of the leading men in New York city among the War Democrats are t&kiug part in this important movement, and will be followed by similar organizations in other States. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. JOHN RATHBONK SCIIOITEI.II, eldest child of General J. M. Sehofieid. Secretary of War, died Bt West Point on Friday morning. He was in the Uth year of his age. EIGHT hundred thousand children in Bgnn- ! syivania, students in the public schools of j the State, should be taught to revere tin name of Thaddens Stevens as the man who secured them their present of portunities to be educated. A IIISPATI H from Omaha says fifty addition al miles of the Union Pacific railroad are now finished, making 750 from Oniulii*. it now seems probable that nearly 1,000 miles will be in running order before the close of the year, and that the whole line to the l'a cific will be open for business during 1809, SPAIN is in a deplorable condition. Re ports from Madrid, the capital, contain ap palling accounts of the wretched condition of the people, especially at a station called Villa Ropledo, where the trains are literally be sieged by hordes of emacialed, half-naked beings, who beg for bread not money. AN association of Cambria and Blair county business men have leased from E. F. Hodges, of Boston, with the privilege of buying hereafter, the furnace at Conemaugh Station, Cambria county, which lias been out of blast for several years. They have also leased, under, the same condition, 450 acres of ore and coal lauds adjoining the furnace, and the ore right of 2,300 acres on the Broad Top Railroad in Huntingdon county. The furnace is now in blast. VILI.IANS trom European cities now opera ting in New York, baffle the efforts of police officers and horrify all classes of people with their crimes. Poison is a favorite means used by these villains to conceal crime, and there are more murders and thefts now per petrated in that city than were ever commit ted before. AT MACON, a New Orleans firm, by Carre's apparatus, are producing forty tons of ice per day, and increasing their capacity by the addition of machines, so that by next spring they hope to produce 350 tons each day. The machines, however, are elaborate and coßtly, the largest being valued at 825.000 and capa ble of producing more than ten tons per day, at a cost estimated at S3 to $5. The daily expense is a very little fuel and the cost of workirffe. Congelation is produced by the alternate evaporization which cakes of ice are formed every five ininuies in twenty pound slabs abut three inches thick, which are piled upon one another and congealed to any desired thickness. THE largest rose bush in existence is in the Marine Harden at Toulon, France. It is called the Lady Banks, and covers a wall seventy-feet in width, and eighteen feet in height. The trunk measures near the root, two feet eight inches. During the month of April it produces fifty thousand white roses. The oldest known rose bush is the one which grows on the wail of the cathedral at Hildes heim, Prussia. It is one thousand years old, ■ and from its trunk, which- Ts one foot in | diameter, extends six branches fifteen feet in . height. The J'.i-diop of Hildesheim, in the Middle Ages, bad it covered with a roof to protect, it from the inclemency of the weather. Mot NT \ KIT.NON, the burial place of Wash i ington, is in a dilapidated .-and disgraceful ; condition: but it is visited by hundreds con i stantly. and every visitor has to pay a fee ol j fifty cents. There was a terrible hubbub i raised a few years ago by the old ladies who j christened themselves "Regents" of the Mouut Vernon Association, about the then owner of the property "selling the bones of Washington;" and a considerable sum was raised by Mr. Everett and the "Regents" to rescue the bones from the mercenary hands of the dickering F. F. V. Some explanation of the right of the Association to now turn the tomb of iVashiugtoit into a peep-show would be acceptable. AN ART GALLERY, to cost one million and a half of dollars, is to be erected on Fifth avenue. New York. Mr. Henry Keep, a wealthy railroad man, has bought a lot two hundred feet square-on Fifth avenue, between : West bitty first anil Fiftysecond streets, where | the building is to he constructed. After | founding and endowing the art gallery, Mr. | Keep proposes to place it in charge of a ci m : mittee of ladies of a fixed number, with pro ! vision to fill the vacancies as they occur from death or otherwise. A small admission fee | is ty be charged each visitor, the revenue j coming from which is to form a fund for two j purposes: first, the care and repair of the | building and its contents; second, the surplus i for the relief of the poor of al! nations need | iug succor in the city of New York. | ON the recent wedding day of the grand Duke of Mecklenburg the rejoicings of the ; party assembled at the dinner table were j suddenly brought to a very disagreeable close. All the guests were suddenly taken very sick, a rather large quantity of arsenic having been added to a pudding, of which everybody seated at the table had partaken. It was dis covered that one of the girls in the kitchen had thrown the rat poison into the sugar-box, whence it had found its way into the pudding. Emetics quickly administered relieved the sufferers, but the wedding day of a sovereign Prince hardely ever clost d in as dismal a manner aj that of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg. AT the last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature an act was passed providing for theappointmeiil of a eonimLsion to adjudicate and record the claims of citizens of the coun ties of Adams, Franklin, Fulton, Bedford, York, Perry and Cumberland, for damages incurred by the Rebel invasion of 18<>3, eith er through the public enemy or the appro priation of property by the Uaioo army. Thus far the Commissioners have visited but three counties —Perry, Bedford and Fulton— in which the damage was much less than in the reinaiutug four. lu Perry comity the losses wiil amount to but $2,00P,- In Bedford county there are fifty claimants, whose dama ges amount to $">,000. In Fulton county, which was not exposed, there are one hun dred and thirty claimants, whose damages will reach at least $40,000, exclusive of the loss by one party of one hundred and seven ty-two fat cattle. THE KU KLI'Y KI.AN Frightful Murders in Tennessee—Two Men iiutchrrcd in the Dcnd ot Night. NASHVILLE, Aug. 2ft. —Last night about twelve o'clock a party of sonic fifteen mask ed hor.-ctuen rode ioto Franklin, in William son county, and broke open the doors of the store of a Jew named Bierfield, a Radical. Bierfield, nssoon as he saw the mask*, be at tempted to escape by flight, but was fired I upon and foil dead, pierced by five bullets. * Lawrence Towatn, colored, Bierfield'# elerk, was shot and ran off, but was found during the night in a lot where he had taken refuge and died this morning. Bierfield'# body has been brought here for burial. Who the maskers were, or whether they were supported by others is not known. The affair occurred just at the close of a circus exhibition, and while many people wete on the street, some of whom interfer ed, hut could not prevent the assassination. The affair has created intense feeling in Franklin. TEI.I. US. —Which is the greater crime —to talk "horse," or to talk treasou'.' Which is the most sensible —be who says little, and that to the point, or lie who splurges at every city aud town, talks of another war, and intersperses his speeches with "hies?" Which do the people prefer—a man who tells them a deliberate lie or lie who accepts the situation and favors economy and peace? Thews three questions are al! open to be answered when Pernod sue organs feci so dtbpOi-cd, wuo im> IT. Some of our friends, Democratic aa well m Republican, may have a de sire to know why and by whom Frank Blair was nominated. The infamous bid he made in his letter to Colonel Brondhead by promis ing the South aid in "dispersing the carpet : bag State Governments," secured him the vote and influence of every rebel in the Con vention.

We extract the following from an article in the New York Tribumof last Friday: It was the day before the organization ■>f the < 'otirt of Impeachment, and he was HI unusual spirits at the pro-peets of the ui 1 v success of a movement which he had inaugurated and pioneered. The prospect of success at that time was very flattering to the impeaehers; it seemed that the trial, conviction, and removal of the President would prove a fitting climax to the career ot itis most earnest and bitter enemy; and during our conversation I ventured to suggest to him that he was almost ready to exclaim with Simeon, "L->rd, let they servant depart in peace." He answered, ! without hesitation, that he had "no wish ; to go just yet." "My friends tell me,'-' he added, "that I j aiu growing old and weak, and must look forward to an early end to my career, but," ind he spoke in a matter of-fact tone and ! manner, "I have no intention of dying just yet." The spirit proved stronger than the flesh on that occasion, though his illness com pelled hitu to relinquish an active part in a cause in which he was undoubtedly en | listed, heart and soul; but he gradually i sunk from that time forward until his death on August 11. But, though the flesh grew weak, even unto death, the spirit does not appear to have faded in the lea*t. If it were possible for him to describe his own death-bed, he would doubtless say that "he died hurrahing." "1 am going to die like Nieanor," he said to me on the occasion I have alluded to, "in harness. I mean to die hurrahing." This led to my asking something in re gard to his early life and his history. As I u—d the word "history" he gianeed at me : quickly, and I thought rather suspiciously, and directly said, "You newspaper men are i always wanting to get at a man's history, i As 1 said to a young girl who came to me | some time ago to collect materials for a biography of me, "I have no hi.-tory. My ! life-long regret is that I have lived so long and so uselessly." I ventured to suggest that his friends were not disposed to agree with hiui in the use of the word "us lessly' as applied to | his Congressional aehit vi nients. f have achieved nothing in Congress, i n till the warb -g in I was a plodder without in flue nee. and since it began 1 have been so radioi that I have had no control over anybody. Some of the papers call nic the j 'Leader of the House' I only laugh attbciu. 1 lead thi in, yes; but they never follow me or do as I want them until public opinion has sided with me." "No," he added, after a pause of a mo ment or two, "I'm not'-over proud of my Congressional career. I like my State ser vice better. 1 think and feel, I hope with out vanity, that the crownimr utility of my life was the adoption of the Common School System of Pennsylvania. "That is the work that I take uiost plea sure in recalling, except one perhaps. 1 really think the greatest gratification of my life resulted from my ability to give my mother a farm of "50 acres, and a dairy of I I cows, and an occasional bright gold piece, which she loved to deposit in the contribution box of the Baptist Church which she attended. Tiiis always gave her much pleasure, and me much satisfaction.' DEMOCKATIC SOLDIERS. The Democracy of Washington having is sued a call for a Soldiers and Sailors con veuti m, to which was apftended a brilliant lust of generals and colonels, a reai soldier, te.-identof that city, who doubted the genu ineDtss ot the signatures, took the trouble to search the Army Register. He was amply repaid for his trouble. The following is the military record of a part of the highest: Colonel—A. W. Bradbury; Major—not in the field. General—J. Donahue; name not borne on the register. Colonel —E. C. Kinsley: Lieutenant; nine months' regiment; no battle. General—McQuade; no such General on record. Colonel —G. W. Zu!iek:left the service in disgust in ISO 2, and took to the uiurecongc : nial occupation of claim agent. General —Maulsby; read colonel. Colonel —I'. H. Ailabaek; no such name appears on official record. Colonel —L. D. Campbell; left in lst72. Colonel—'J'. A. Bramlette; left in 1 Sti2. General —John Love; no record of any such genera). General —T. L. Dickey: was ulscharged as a colonel in February, 1863. General —K. B. Brown; read lieutenant colonel; discharged in 1863. General —J. McFarla id; read captain; dis charged in 1862. General—J. W. Denver; no record of any general by that name. To get any considerable number of real soldiers, the Democracy will be forced to go further south than Washington.— Toledo Blade. THE CAMPAIGN IN THF. SOITH.—A hun dred and fifty murders in a single month is a good many. We don't wonder the Demo crlicy oppose the sending of reinforcements to Gov, Warmonth to put a stop to this wholesale slaughter of negro voters by the miscreants of the Ku lvlux Klan. Tho prolongation of this =ort of work through out the canvass will tell upon the result. But it is a sort of campaigning that will hardly be commended by the oiviired world. YOCNG 1 'RF.NT ICE,of the Louisville Jour iiel, says that if Grant is elected, the South will fight.
