SMITH, of St. CTairsville Bo:. AUDITOR, JOHN P.WILLIAMS, of South Woodbery Twp PAYING THE DEBT. The importance of the change inaugura ted in the financial policy of toe nation since the accession of Grant's administ:ation is scarcely appreciated by the great mass of our people. That fifty millions have already been paid since the 4th of March and that Boutwell proposes to pay twelve millions more the present month is a fact at once un derstood and approved by all. But the magnitude of the change from the manage ment of the copperhead, Johnson crew to that of the Republicans uader Grant is not exhibited in that brief statement. Cop perheads during last year's campaign figured up a deficit of $175,000,000 by the first of July 1869. Their calculations were made on the basis of their own management of the finances under Johnson and would probably have been verified by experience if they had continued in power. Grant's election changed the order of things in Washington and the first of July 1869 showed a reduc tion of $43,000,000 instead of an increase of 175,000,000 as copperheads predicted. This reduction is still going on at an increasing ratio, though the rate of taxation for reve nue purposes is only about half what it wa during the first two years of Johnson's ad ministration. What is the secret of Re publican success in paying off the debt ? Retrenchment and an honest collection of the revenue. We have cut down the ex penses of the Government, enforced the laws, and removed dishonest or inefficient officials until we have attained a measurable degree of thoroughness. The result is shown in the rapid payment of our debt. Not only will over $60,000,000 of the debt be paid by October first but the nation will be saved in addition the interest on that amount for the year making an additional $3,000,000. Beside, the credit of the na tion is so much enhanced that we will shortly be able to negotiate a new loan at 41 per cent, or perhaps less, with which to take up our present 5-20 bonds, which will result in an annual saving of $24,000,000. This we will lie able to accomplish by the end of the year. The net result of the ten months of Republican rule may be summed us as a saving or paying off of the national debt as follows: Amount paid off, if wc keep on at the present rate, of about $9,000,000 per month. Ten months make SOO 000 000 Interest saved on $00,000,000, 5 400 000 Reduction by new loan 21 000 000 Total for ton months SIPJ 400 000 We can confidently pr act that tb ; end of the year will show a reduction of thedebt of at least $120,000,000 and perhaps $150,- OOthOOOj against a Democratic prediction of a deficiency of perhaps $200,000,000. Such arc the results of the practical working of a Republican Administration. Let them be sustained by the votes of the people. A few weeks hence and Pennsylvania will be called upon to vete for State officers. Iler verdict will Lo accepted as an approval or condemnation of the policy of retrenchment and reform. Let it be recorded emphatic ally as an endorsement of the policy and the party that is so rapidly freeing us from debt. I'KOTECriO.N to AMERICAN LABOR. Copperheadism in the Ilarrisburg Plat form is afraid to say aught against protection to American industry. Pennsylvania's well known interest in protection led the wiser heads of the Convention to avoid this point. Hut the smaller fry, forgetting this prudent course, are many of them openly opposing protection and exposing the hypocrisy of their leaders in ignoring the issue. De mocracy and Copperheadism is and always has been in league with British free-traders. In Ohio they have openly declared against protection and they have only refrained from doing the saiue thing in their platform here because they know that an honest profession of their true principles would result in the loss of votes. Copperheadism is, now as ever, the enemy of the laboring poor and would either reduce them to slavery or grind them down to such a miserable pit ftnoe for their labor as would scarcely suffice to keep soul aod body together. It is therefore perfectly consistent in them to make the iichest man in the State their candidate for the Governorship. DOWH IT COMES. The September statement of the public debt, like all its predecessors, shows a still further reduction. The amount is $5,600,- 000 beside $1 ] ,000,000 for paying pensions this month. It is particularly gratifying to be able to record this continuous and rapid reduction of the public debt at a time, when copperheads are raising a false cry of Re publican extravagance. No better evidence is needed of the integrity as well as economy of the present Administration than this steady reduction of the debt, with the re duced rate of taxation. To refute the vile calumuies of these copperhead slanderers, wc have only to point to the public record of our finances and the falsity of copperhead allegations becomes so apparent, that the most brazen faced of them must bow his head in shame and confusion. The Repub lican party is the party of economy and eteryonewho wishes our debts paid will vote the Republican ticket. A LONG, strong pull continues to be made by Secretary Boutwell at reducing the pub lic debt, lie announces his intention of buy ing twelve millions in bouds in the present month. Such facts as these tell more for Republicanism then all the fine promises of copperheads. Deeds, not empty words, are what the people appreciate. THE Secretary of the Treasury gives no tice that be will buy twelve million dollars of Government bonds during the present month. Bonds are>ow worth 120 in green- j bucks. A NOBLE LIFE. —On the 28th of June, 1861, at the very beginning of the late war for the preservation of the Union, John W. Geary was mustered into the service as a ColoneL On the 25th of April, 1862, he was promoted to Brigadier General, and on the 12th of January, 1865, was made Major General. He was wounded at Bolivar, Cedar Mountain and Chancellorsville. To the present day he carries rebel lead in his body. He has been Mayor of San Francisco, Governor of Kansas, Military Governor of Savannah, and Governor of Pennsylvania. He discharged the responsible duties of each and all of these positions with honor to him self and credit to his native State. Few Pennsylvanians have ever made a nobler record. The people read it with piide, and will re-elect him in October by an over whelming majority.— Berks and Schuylkill Journal. THE Democratic party inaugurated the most iniquitous and bloody rebellion that ever blackened the pages of history. The Republican party put down that re bellion and preserved the Union of our country and the liberty of the people. Then came the work of reconstruction. Andy Johnson's treason obstructed and Grant was elected to perfect the unfinished work; that work is not yet done; every Copperhead victory retards it and interferes with the peace and prosperity of the country. Do the people wish the long suspense ended, the work of reconstruction completed? If they do the only way is to vote the liepub , lioan ticUot. AN iuimen-e national debt is the legacy of the last Democratic anniinistration and the price of American Union and Liberty. Copperheadism and its rebel allies now pro pose to repudiate that debt. Thousands of noble and patriotic men hold the bonds of the Government and lent her their money to save the national life. Shall that debt be repudiated and the nation's fame bear the foul blot of dishonesty? Such lasting in famy can only be averted by active and earnest support of the Republican party. Every vote east for Packer is a vote for re pudiation. A vote for Geary is a vote for paying off our debt and preserving the fair fame of our beloved country. COPPER HEADISM proclaims itself the friend of the laboring man. Every child remembers that it was the advocate and up holder of the slave power whose fundament al principle was that capital should own la bor. Professions like these are dirt cheap. The people understand their design and will not be deceived. Copperheadism is the sworn enemy of the poor man and of free la bor and its whole history proves it. ''BIRDS of a feather flock together" is an old and true adage. Asa Packer in ad miration of his rebellious spirit invited the traitor Yailandigham to his house and en tertained him in the darkest days of the war; he was also the friend of the rebel and repudiator Pendleton. What think the gallant soldiers of Pennsylvania of such a record ? Can they who were the blue vote for such a man ? , JOHN W. GEARY periled his life for his country in two wars. Shall he be set aside for the friend of traitors and repudiators? \Y hat say the brave men who fought under him in the many bloody fields of the late rebellion? Will they repudiate their gallant leader for one who was the bosom friend of their mortal enemies? No never! The boys who wore the blue will vote as they shot. COPPERHEADS when they profess to be the friends of the poor man should be promptly reminded .of the fact that they bitterly opposed the Homestead act which gave a home to every actual settler on government lands. The Republican party passed the act after a desperate struggle. Bah! the fewer friends of the copperhead stamp that the poor man has, the better he will be off. THE Copperheads profess to be the poor man's friend and then nominate for Gov ernor a millionaire who was thrown into the river arid nearly drowned by his own in furiated workmen because he tried to grind them down to starvation wages. A pretty friend of the poor man indeed. Bah ! such hypocrisy cannot decievc the intelligent laborer. MANHOOD not money should command the respect and confidence as well as the votes of the people. The contest in Penn sylvania is between a brave soldier, and honest man and an upright officer, and Packer and his twenty millions. Will the people worship the golden calf or vote for the gallant soldier? COPPERHEADS used to claim that they were the defenders of the constitution, par txccllencc. They now repudiate the con con.-titution of the United States in the lfairisburg platform. Their professed love of the constitution was never more than a shadow and now the shadow is gone. THE gold gamblers of wall street have or ganized to bull the market again by locking up gold. They succeeded in locking up twenty millions in a singte day. Gold has gone up to 137 since they began their oper ations. \Y hen shall the country be deliver ed from the rapacity of these worse than thieves and robbers? SENATOR BILLINGFELT has been rc-nom inated by the Republicans after a hard fight with the ring. Retrenchment and Reform liare futiiiil a slannr}i aJvooto in Sonator j Billingfelt and we rejoice in his re-nomina tion. Let us have more of the same kind and the reputation of Harrisburgh will be ! greatly improved by their presence. SPAIN though freed from the despotism of Isabella is still in a deplorable condition. The various factions, Republicans, monarch ist.-, Carlists, priests &c., are all plotting against each other and bid fair to inaugu rate a reign of terror yet, before any perma nent form of Government is established. IF Packer is elected the result will be as of old an increase of debt and taxes. If Geary is elected the present policy of redu cing taxes and paying off the debt will be contiaued until the debt is completely wiped out. LEI every tax-payer remember that half a century of Democratic rule saddled Penn sylvania with a debt of $40,000,0tK) and that ten years of Republican rule paid off $20,- 000,000 of that debt aud relieved every foot of land in the State from taxation. THE California election has gone Demo cratic by a small majority, giviDg them the Legislature but making no change as they bad a majority last year of ten on joint ballot. STATE ELECTIONS IN SEPTEMBER. —There will lie two State elections in this month. Vermont on the 7th elects State officers and a Legislature and Maine State officers and a Legislature on the 13th. SHALL Geary the gallant soldier or Packer the miserly millionaire be our next Gover nor? Will the people disgrace themselves by prefcring gold before patriotism REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CON TERENCE.

Geary for Gover nor of Pennsylvania, and the platform enunciated by the Convention held at Philadelphia, in May last. COPPERHEADISM makes State and na tional debts; Republicanism pays them off by honesty and economy. Which do the tax payers prefer as their rulers? Let them answer at the ballot-box in October. TIIE copperheads raise a hue and cry agaiDst Geary because he favors temperance. W ere they ever known to oppose one who was fond of his whiskey? REPUBLICANISM showed its friendship for the poor man by freeing his house and lot from tax and levying it on banks and corporations. REPUBLICANISM shows its friendship for the laboring man by protecting him from the competition of the pauper labor of Eu rope. THE news from the eastern cities reports the ball trade as of a most promising char acter, opening better than any previous season since the war. IT appears from later information in re gard to the international boat race that the Harvards were only beaten two seconds in stead of six as at first reported. POLITICAL ITEMS, WANTED AT THIS OFFICE.—The W,*t Chester Republican says : We arc prepared to pay liberal prices for accurate and care fully prepared designs of Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate for Governor, as he appeared in public under the following thrilling circumstances: Illustration No. I.—Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate for Governor, as he appeared previous to being immersed in the Lehigh river, by indignant boatmen, whom he wished to compel to work at starvation prices, that he might accumulate a fortune of $20,000,000! The boatmen should also be faithfully represented, as tliey appeared upon that memorable occasion ! Illustration No. 2.—ASA PACKER, the Democratic candidate for Governor, as he appeared when entering the turbulent waters, together with the positions of the several individuals standing on the bank, witnessing as well as assisting him to perforin the fearful feat!

The precise remarks made use of by Asa in the four several acts of the Drama, to gether with those of bis assistants in ihe aquatic feat, should accompany each illustra tion. Competitors will forward their pro ductions with all possible dispatch, as we are anxious to place them in the hands of the Chairman of the Democratic County Com mittee, as forming a series of remarkable, soul stirring and patriotic incidents in the life of their candidate, and at the same time furnishing the most substantial reasons why he should be elected Governor of the State ! P. S.—Should the above designs prove satisfactory, we shall need others represent ing Asa's singular removal from Carbon county to Philadelphia, to avoid payment of taxes 1 THE "slate" is that if Packet should be elected, he is to appoint Bill MtMullen Sec retary of State. Common gratitude should dictate the appointment, for didn't Bill put in the big licks for the $20,000,500 candidate at Harrisburg, and didn't he htve his force of roughs and pickpockets there to back him up in the work ? Of course he did and had —And why shouldn't Bill be Secretary of State if Packer should be elected? THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

Bonds Stolen. NEW YORK, Sept. 3d.—On Wednesday last the firm of J. M. Perkins A Co., No. 50 Wall street, had need of 10,000, which they borrowed of A. Colville A Co., having an office in the same building, hypotheca ting therefor ten SIOOO United States five twenty bonds. On receiving the securities, Mr. Clark, the confidential man of the firm, placed them in an envelope and gave them to a young man named .John Riley, in their employ, to accompany Mr. Benedict, of the firm of Perkins A Co., to place them in Perkins & Co.'s vault, under the Stock Ex change, for safe keeping till morning. When they arrived at their destination the seeuri ties were given to- Mr. Benedict, and he placed them in the safe. In the morning Mr. Benedict went to the vault and took out a package, together with his own papers, and took t hem a! to his office. On the stairway he met John Riley, to whom he gave the package belonging to the firm of Colville <£■• Co. The hoy took it in the office and gave it to Mr. Clark, where it remained for some time, until Per kins A Co. sent in word they would return the loan. Then the package was opened and it was found the bonds were gone. Suspicion immediately pointed to lliley, who was arrested yesterday by Detective Nivcn, of the Central office. He was taken before Judge Dowling, at the Tombs, this afternoon, and held lor examination The following is a list of the numbers of the missing bonds: 78,134, 168,063, 81,441, 125,883, 223,03a,223,036, 226,038, f23,039 223,042, 43,251. FROM WASHINGTON. Termination of thr Small Change Famine, More generous supply oj Fractional Cur rency. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. NEW CURRENCY. The Secretary of the National Bank Note Company and the President of the Ameri can Bank Note Company, yesterday stated to the Treasury officials, that by next Thurs day they will be able to commence a daily remittance of $187,000 in small notes, and will be prepared by the Ist of October to deliver the new one and two dollar notes. Yesterday the printing division at the Treasury Department, sent to the Treasurer among other currency, thirty thousand dol lars of the new fifty cent notes, the first is sued. and on Wednesday a lot of the new twenty'-five cent notes. The first was sent to the Treasurer, for issue. Thirty presses are now at work 011 the ten and fifteen cent notes, and the remainder on tie twenty-five and fifty cent notes. This number will sup ply the demand, but in case of an emergen cy other presses can be put to work on short notice. $113,000 in fractional currency was received at the Treasury Department this morning, from New York. DOING A Goon BUSINESS. The Great Eastern steamship, for laying fhe French Atlantic Cable, received $7,000 a month during the time spent in doing the work, and 1,000 shares of the Cable Company, tho market value of which was SIOO,OOO, or SIOO a share. The result of the recent' ex pedition showed that the work of laving sea cables would always be exceedingly 'hazard ous, and that the Great Eastern possessed great advantages over smaller vessels. The Great Eastern will sail for India in the first week of October, to lay the new East India Cable in February, and will receive $250,000 in stock for her work. She is expected to return to England in May, and will then probably be engaged in laying the Falmouth and Gibraltar cable. THE BEST TIME. —The best time to court a woman is when she is young and pretty; the best time to ask a favor is just after a person has been to dinner; the best time to swap horses is before you cross a stream; the wst time to pay your debts and addresses is when you make them; the best time to have anything to do with an umbrella is when it rains (provided you can find your own), the best time to correct an evil is when you find it out. _ TIIE_ Kittanoing Republican says: The oil excitement at Parker's Landing is still unabated. The place is filling up very rap idly, and fast assuming the proportions of a city. We hear of a considerable increase in production of some of the wells, and sur prises in this way arc said not to be an un common occurrence. The old theory that Armstrong county is "the great oil basin" may yet prove not to be altogether incorrect. A NEW FLAG.—The Austrian flag which bore the symbol of the Holy Bormw Empire, has been replaced since the Ist of August, by a new Austro-Hungarian flag, composed in equal portions of the red and white colors o' the Austrian archduchy, minus the former imperial crown, and of the red, white and green colors of the Hungarian kingdom. Ihus perishes the last vestige of the Holy Koman Empire of Austria. GEN. CANBY is preparing a report of the election and condition of Virginia, political ly, socially and morally, in which it is said he will exhibit a state of affairs that will be very prejudicial to the reconstruction of the State, showing that more violence, abuse and proscription have been exhibited by the people of the State than ever before. llooks and Periodicals.

Oca FAMILY PHYSICIAN.— The above is the title of a new medical work, intended for family use, published in Chicago by J. 8. Goodman A Co., and in Cincinnati bv C. F. Vent, and sold exclusively by subscription. But few people are aware of the wonderful increase and growing importance of the sub scription book business in this country. Such vast additions of really good books are dispos ed of by this method, that our best authors have learned to seek the subscription book publisher. Hence it comes that many of the best and most salable books are being pub lished and sold in that way, and "Our Family Physician" is undoubtedly one of the best that has recently made its appearance. It contains in a condensed, but very attractive and readable form, as much matter as is usu ally found in similar works that retail for $5,00, while the price charged is only $2,50. There seems to be nothing surperfluous, and nothing left out that ought to be iu such a book; while to our mind, it has a decided ad vantage over any other of its kind that has come to our notice, in giving the several modes of treatment, as practiced by the dif terent schools of physician—the Allopathic, Homeopathic, Hydropathic, Eclectic, and Herbal—so that choice may be made of the method that best suits one's inclination or convenience ; or one or more methods may frequently be combined with the best of re sults. We are informed that over two thousand copies of the worr have already been sold to subscribers in the city of Chicago, where the author resides, and that the sale everywhere is unparalleled. Science Advances. As soon as an article purporting to be of utility has been tested, and its merits en dorsed by public opinion, unprincipled parties endeavor to replenish their depleted purses ; by counterfeiting, and substituting a spuriou | for the genuine article. Some time since, mercury, in the disguise of pills, powders, &c., was given for all diseases of the stomach and liver, while quinine was freely administered for the chills. At length HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS made its advent, and an entire new system of healing was inaugu rated. The beneficial effects of this valuable preparation were at once acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered to sink into that ob scurity to which an enlightened age has con signed them. Theie have been manyspurions Bitters palmed upon the community, which, after trial, have been tound perfectly worth less, while HOSTETTER'S has proved a blessing to thousands, who owe to it their res toration to health. For many years we have watched the steady progress of HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS in public es timation, and its benificient effects as a cure for all complaints arising from the stomach, of a morbid nature, and we ate free to say that it can be relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its proprietors have made the above preparation, after years of careful study and sitting, and are now reaping the reward claimed by this valuable specific, and which they so richly merit. It is the only prepara tion of the kind that is reliable in all cases, and it therefore demands the attention of the afflicted. gptorilawMUiS. yALUABLE TRACTS OF LAND F 0 11 SALE.
