OLD TaAiD, KNOCKS UNDER,
OM Thnd admits that "dead
beat" in the impeachment business.
the course of the debate that followed
the leading of the President's veto meg
sage on Friday week, he said t
I agree precisely with the eloquent
speech of my amiable colleague across
the way [Mr. 'Randall] that we cannot
impeach the President of - the United
States. But I say to our friends
on t his side who are urging that measure,
that they ate urging it in vain. The
result of my motion the other day clear
ly diseloi-ed that. And without attempt
ing to make disclosures, I undertake to
say that there are unseen agencies at
vv•orit: there are Invisible powers at, work
in this emintry, which will prevent the
impeachment attic President.
I have taken nOOlO pains to understand
the composition of the House and the
composition of the Senate, and I am
quite certain that there are enough of
tersons in the House—iirstly, to prevent
he presentation of articles of impeach
ment-here, and secondly, that there arc
enough persons in the Senate, if- articles
of impeachment were voted, to prevent
the conviction of the President; so that
I repeat an attempt to impeach the Presi
dent will be vain and futile. It is im
possible to pierce the panoply which sur
rounds the White House.
It is to be regretted that Mr. Stevens
declined to "make dLielosures" about
the "unseen agencies at work" to pre
vent impeachment. Perhaps lie may
become more Communicative when he
gent out of the august presence of Butler
and Schenk, and, In a back room of the
"two-story red brick house In South
Queen street," may tell some newspaper
correspondent what he knows.
Whitt in the world has been going on
at Washington ? Has anybody corrupt
ed 'the public virtue of a portion of the
"loyal, majority" in Congress? We all
know what can be done in the Peansyl
tants Legislature, for Hr. Stevens him
self has told us what was done in • the
late contest for United States Senator;
but is it ptiesible that like changes can
be wrought among our "loyal" Repre
sentatives at Washington? Has Simon
Cameron been at work again?
Cameron wants the Radical nomina
tion for the Presidency. If Andrew
Johnson were to be removed from office,
Ben Wade would become President, and
this would insure him the nomination.
Cameron's only chance of success, there
fore, lies in 'the prevention of the Im
peachment of President Johnson, and if
there are "unseen agencies" at work fo
prevent impeachment, it may be put
down as pretty certain that the "Old
Winnebago" has a hand in them. Thus
the Radicals in Pennsylvania, through
their leading Representatives in the two
branches of Congress—the "Old Com
moner" in the House and the "Old Win
nebago" in the Senate—are working ou
both sides of the impeachment question

collected by France to $390,000,00
showing an excess for the United States
of MOO 000 000 over England, and
000,000 over France. This, notwith
' standing the great difference in the ba
slit of taxation. The contrast becomes
still stronger when It is considered that
' the national taxation in' Great 13rItain
and France includes everything—where
as,,we have. in addition, here, our state,
county, and municipal taxes.
These are startling facts, and the peo
ple feel their weight. The tax-gather
tits will not allow the business men of the
country to forget them. When a menu
f4cturer first pays a tux upon the article
r lull makes, and again a per tentage upon
the income from his business, he is not
likely ti pass Itglitly over the fact that
I this is the Eldorado of taxation. The
capitalists in like manlier have daily re
! minders of the heavy increase of taxa
ftion, They receive six per cent. on
mortgages and ground rents, and out of
the proceeds the government clutches
live per cent. as its share. 'Taxes upon
all articles that enter Into the business
arrangements of the people prevent
trade, commerce and general enterprise,
and in this manner the poor man is de-.
prived of a chance to make a comforta.
ble living for himself and family. Tax
es increase the cost of subsistence.—
(Wages do not follow with equal pace up
the scale, and thus the poor man is in
jured. Paper money also inflates prices
and gives speculators an opportunity to
hold large quantities of produce , and thus
prevent consumers from buying at a fair
and reasonable figure. It/ this manner
high taxes affect all classes and Injure
the general prosperity of the nation.
How can taxes be reduced? That is a
question interesting-to all parties. By a
reduction of the national debt, is the an
swer. We 'must reduce expenses, and
increase the current receipts of the gov
ernment. This cannot be done while
the Radical party is in power. In the
first place, they are in fever of holding
one portion of the country by military
authority. That will make a large mili
tary force necessary, and the Treasury
Department estimates the army expen
ses in the Southern States alone at fifty
millions of dollars for the present year.
To ibis must be added the cost of the
FOodmen's Bureau and other parts of
the Radical machinery for establishing
a despotism in the South, and then it
will be seen that the Radleali will in
crease rather than reduce the expenses
of the government for the present fiscal
year. In the meantiiiie, they are cur
tailing the revenues ofi the government
by preventing the Seuth from engaging
in business on a scale commensurate with
the capabilities of tliat prolitie section.
There is no possible relief from excessive
and burdensome taxation so long as the
Radical party remains in power. They
will maintain a splendid government
after the- fashion of the military despot
isms of the Old World, but the people,
the masses,• will daily become poorer
and poorer. Radicalism is a heavy tax
upon the people. Are they content to
bear the burden =Age.
CIIARGSS AGAINST CONGRESS.
Apropos of the charges of improper
conduct against the President, "Mack,"
the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercica, makes the fol
lowing revelations, which are specific
enough to warrant a oommittee of inves►
tigatlon by Congress :
It can be shown that members of Con
gress own Stock in the street railroads of
Washington for which they never paid
a mut, of rendered any other return than
their votes for the acts of incorporation,
and their subsequent votes to authorize
the increase of lave from five to seven
cents. It can be shown that the two
Houses have been, thue and again, in.
Slummed by the paltry consideration of
free pasEes in their votes upon matters
affecting the greatest railroad monopo
lies in the country. It can be proved
that members of Congress have appeared
in their seats as the attorneys for railroad
corporations. It can be proved that
members of the two Houses-were direct
ly bribed for their votes on the whiskey
tax two years no. It can be proved that
Senators positively agreed to confirm
Mr. Cowan as Minister to Austria lust
winter, if he would get Mr. Johnson to
appoint their relatives to office. All of
these things and a hundred more can be
proved to the satisfaction, if not of Ofm
gress, at least of the country, Utile op
portunity be but presented.
All this is to the point, and calls for
investigation. Will any Radical member
of Congress dare move the appointment
of a committee to inquire into the truth
of these charges?
103.:The Radicals in the New York
Constitutional Convention:have refused
We ballot to white women. Perhaps
"TO THE Bora IN BILE."
The ,PhliadelPhla Press, whose editor
has risen from poverty to affluence 8111013
the beginning of the era of greenbacks,
calls upon the "Boys in Blue" to "re
member that the Democratic candidate
for Judge of the Kupreme Coact is the
same judge who attempted to strike a
fatal blow at your army and• navy,. by
decididg that the greenbacks which yea
sent home to your parents and your
wives and little ones were not a legal
tender."
Itmight be well for the "Boys In Blue,"
and all other "boys" who are old enough
to vote, to remember that it was a Re
publican Congress and a Republican
President who depreciated the value of
the greenbacks known as "legal tender."
In he act of Congress authorizing their
Issue It was expressly provided that
they should not be a legal tender for
"duties on impofts" or "interest on the
public • debt." This act was passed by
a Radical Congress and approved by
President Lincoln. It was, therefore,
the Republican party, through its .Itep
resentatives in Congress4und in the Exe
cutive chair, that first stamped the brand
of inferiority on the greenbacks. That
brand may be seen on the back of every
note by any "Boy In Blue" who will
take the troulde to look for it. It was
the Government, when Republican in all
its branches, that bastardized its own
greenback offspring.
DEMOCRATIC JVDGES
Judge Ludlow, of Philadelphia, is a
%Democrat, and has been on the bench
for some years. By limitation his term
of office would expire this fall, but the
members of the. Philadelphia bar, with
out respect to party,' have united in re
commending him as a candidate for re
election. The Ledger and even Forney's
Press commend this action, and no can
lildate is likely to be presented in oppo
sition to him. A similar compliment
was paid to Judge Sharswood duringthe
war. What higher evidence of his en
tire fitness for a place on the
_bench of
the Sumeme Court could be adduced?
That he will be triumphantly elected no
one who is well posted doubts.
1;t Although a dozen or more promi.-
nen t Radical organs of the Slate were in
dustriously
,engaged in denouncing the
corrupt practices of the late Cameron
Legislature, from the time of its adjourn
ment up till a few weeks ago, not a word
was said In that connection by the Wil
liamsport Convention. The press prom
ised tint measures would be taken to
guard against the recurrence of such a
corrupt body, but there Is not a resolution
in the Radical platform that would indi
cate the least mite of corruption last whi
ter. This silence must be construed as
favorable to those who. disgraced 'the
State by their practices, and as indicating
a decided preference for another Legisla
ture of the same sort. The people should
observe the fact.
figir'The Treasury Department esti
mates that from thirty-five to forty mil
lions of dollars will be needed to support
the army in the Southren states during
the present year. This is a heavy tax
upon the business and industry of the
country. And what Use is to be made
of the army in that section ? Is there any
resistance to law and 'authority either
actual or suppositious, in that part of
the Union? Is any portion of the people
In revolt against the National or State
authorities? Neither, and yet the ltadi
cal party insists upon quartering soldiers
upon the people in time of peace, and
thus adding to the expenses of the nation
at this time, when the tax-gatherer cros
ses the threshold of every man like a
spectre of evil. Thirty-rive or forty
millions of dollars is a heavy' price to
pay fora broken Constitution and infrac
tett Union, for negro equality, and the
didranchisement of white men. But a
Radical President may be chosen by
such means, anti the people must be hat
istled with. that result. Will they look
at It in this light?—Age.
Or The Philadelphia Press says that the
people of Pennsylvania should cast their
ballots "for the Hon. Henry W. Wil
liams, who, to all the qualifications of
his opponent, adds that of fervent and
unflinching patriotism." But the people
must remember that by Radical patriot
ism, is here ment the - patriotism of Sum
ner and Butler and Stevens; the patri
otism which is exhibited in scoffing at
the Constitution and destroying the
States, injuring the ,character of the na
tion 'abroad, and prostrating its trade,
commerce, and business at home. This
is the patriotism which the Press gives
to its eandidatq for Judge of the Supreme
Court of the State, and then calls upon
the people to -support him upon that
basis. 't

WfrISTLINO. —Nextte laughing, whist
ling is one of the most philosophical
things in which a fellow of good spirits
can Indulge. Whistling is a popular
prescription for keeping up the courage
—ll might better be said good spirits.
Sonic genial philosopher has well said
on this subject, that whistling is a great
Institution. Ic oils the wheels of cure;
aupplies the place of sunshine. A man
who whistles has a good heart under his
shirt-front. Such a man not only works
more willingly, but works more oon
steady. A whistling cobbler will earn
as much money again as a eordwainer
who gives way to low spirits and Indi
gestion. Mean or avaricious men never
whistle. The man who attacks whist
ling throws a stone at the head of hilar
ity, and would, if he could, rob June of
its roses—August of its meadow larks,—
Ex.
VS' In a late number of the Erie Oh
server, we found the following sensible
remarks :
The Democrat who wants to be of ser
vice to his party and render practical
aid in securing the triumph of his prin 7 ,
olples, can best succeed by subscribing
for a sound local newspaper. There nev
er was a time more necessary than now
to secure a larger circulation for Demo
cratic doctrines. The people want. the
truth, and the only source front which
to derive it in its fairest and most inter
esting shape is in the columns of manful
ly conducted home Union journals. Ev
ery family in the county should have
the benefit of at least one eneigetic Dem
ocratic newspaper.
itrAn old story, bat yet true, that
Coe's Dyspepsia Cure has performed more
cures in cases of Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
and General Debility, thun any medi
cine ever compounded. It is excellent
for Sick Headache, Sour Stomach, }lean
t:im, Cramps, Colic, and distress. All
druggists keep It. p
How the Negrora are eared for by the
"Burcati."—Thwwo4istant, commissioner
of the Negro Bureau' at Nashville, Gen.
W. P. Carlin, has homed a cireular for
circulation among negroes, in which they
are informed that in ease they lose em
ployment on aectount of polities they will
be provided for by the Bureau until they
can find work, and that all expenses so
Incurred will be paid out of the "special
relief fund" appropriated by Congress.
Here is a most excellent opportunity for
lazy darkies. No doubt hundreds and
thousands of them will avail themselves
of the opportunity to get fixed in the
Bureau as political martyrs. until they
can get work. But how will this sort
of business suit our Northern, hard
working taxpayers, out of whose pockets
is taken this "special relief fund" appm•
priated by Congress?
TerrZlP Plagne.—.News from Hong
Kong, China, to May :nth, represents
the people at Mauritius to he dying. ut
the rate of two hundred a day, from a
dreadful pestilence there prevailing.
The disease was malignant bilious fever,
similar to that of the West Indies. The
state of the island was dreadful ; the peo
ple were lying in the streets dead and
dying. Every other house is 0105041, and
the hospital accommodations lire insuffi

were occupied .ag hospitals, lute which
:e sick went to die. Quinine was selling
at $75 per ounce. Some of the shipping
was affected by the disease There was
a complete panic among the people.
SilarAn exchange says that over forty
thousand P,epublican voters of Philadel
phia supported Judge Sharswood when
a candidate on the Democratic ticket for
his present position, and that he was then
considered sound on all constitutional
questions. Judge Sharswood has not
changed since that time, and those who
relied then upon his ability, - integrity
and patriotism, do so yet.
