is said by those who ought to
know that the Government is now at
an expense of at least two hundred
millions of dollars a year in its "War
Department." .
r.,..The returns from the districts in
the State of Maine aro slow coming in.
The Republican majority is being cut
down considerably. The Republican
press say their party had to carry a
heavy load, a liquor law, which was
unpopular with the people.

States is a written Instrument; a re

National-character.—Daniel Webster.
It is an old axiom that "revolu

its legitimate ends, the party concern

STATE ELECTIONS.--The following
aro the State elections yet to be held
this 3 oar
Oct. B.—Pcnasylvania, Ohio, lowa
Nov. s.—Now York, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Maryland, Massachusetts.
Nov. G.—Now Jersey . , Kansas.
NEW PARTY.—Tho Labor Reform
Party mot in Convention in Pittsburg
on Wednesday last, and placed in nom
ination officers for tho different State
and county offices. In their platform
they declare that they will support
only those who will advocate the prin
ciples of Labor Reform, and use their
influence in support of such laws as
will secure to the laboring classes their
just rights.
RECONSTRUCTION.—ThO law is said
to be "flimsy." "General Grant oan
do nothing." "His powers under the.
Reconstruction Act aro of no avail"—
and Radicalism"hardly knows which to
blame, Congress for passing a law so
flimsy, or Gen. Grant for accepting the
President's quibbles as a just interpre
tation" of it. The law meant to do
certain things. .Rut the law does not
say so; and the President and Grant
are savagely assailed because they will
not do what the law meant, instead of
merely doing what it says.—Repubtic.
zt..-Gen. Grant, it is said, has ex
pressed his views with regard to the
Presidency. lie said ho would not bo
President of the United States, if the
opportunity wore offered; that he was
no politician (which is well known)
and, it is added too, that he oven hated
politics. We like to hear a man talk
thus, and we are only the more
convinced that ho would be the right
man at this time for the position. As
for his losing friends, we think that he
will only lose the politicians and office
seekers, but the honest, well meaning
masses of the people will stick to him
the closer—so long as ho remains stead
fast to his hates and keeps out of poli
tics.
TUB REACTION.-A year ago wo pre
dicted that the extreme measures pro
posed by the Radicals would bring
about a reaction in public opinion
against the Republican party. That
reaction has commenced and shows it
self plainly in the heavy losses of the
Republicans at the late elections in
California and Maine. If obnoxious
Democrats or "Copperheads" should
get in power it will be because the Re
publican politicians everywhere advo
cate and try to enforce measures more
obnoxious to the masses than aro Dem
ocrats or "Copperheads." The great
mistake Republican leaders make is ,
they fancy themselves and those they
can - lead strong enough to do without
the help of conservative or "Union
party" voters, who during the war ac
ted in good faith with Republicans for
the purpose of saving the Union.
mz.Politioians and loaders of parties
should not forget that a large majority
of the voters go to the elections and
vote, as they suppose, to advance their
own and the bust interests of the whole
country. With them more party suc
cess is not as important as their own
success in whatever calling they may
be engaged, and whenever they dis
cover or think that the "policy" of the
party they vote with is injurious to
their interest's and tho peace and pros
perity of the country, they desert it,
and either stay at home or go to elec
tions and veto for a change. The late
elections indicate that a large number
of voters have already become dissatis
fled with the reforms and radical no
tions of tho Republican party; but
whether a change will be for the bet
tor, time will toll. Oar own opinion
is that it will take all the best efforts
of the good and wise men of all parties
to save our country from more serious
troubles.
Our Currency.
That we are to have for several
years at least an irredeemable paper
currency, appears to bo tacitly conce
ded; the hopes of a speedy return to a
specie basis, which many entertained
after the close of the war, have gradu
ally given way, and Secretary McCul
loch himself, who was doubtless in
earnest, in his early efforts towards a
return to specie payments, appears to
be disposed to wait the course of events.
Specie payment and a currency which
will at all times bo of equal value with
gold, cannot bo created by legislation
alone; - our middle aged business mon
can boar testimony to the repeated
failures under State legislation to com
pel specie payments by our Banks, and
although the cases may not bo exactly
parallel, yet experience teaches that
only when full and entire confidence ex
ists in the ability of the Banks and the
Government to redeem their and its
demand obligations in coin, will a per
manent resumption be had—that is,
whenever such a condition of things
exists that the notes of the Banks and
the Government are considered by the
people as preferable to gold, then and
not until then can we look for specie
payment.
In the meantime, what do we gain,
and how much aro wo likely to be aid
ed toward a resumption by our Nation
alßankingSystem. That the Banks are
receiving from the Government much
more in interest upon the bonds they
have deposited as collateral for the
notes issued to them, than all the taxes
they pay, has been shown by figures
heretofore published, consequently the
National Treasury suffers to that ex
tent. The notes of tho National Banks
aro all in circulation and rarely presen
ted for redemption, and as they are
not taken by the people upoh the se
cifrity of the Banks, but upon that of
the Government, it is difficult to per
ceive why the Government might not
as well have the benefit of this loan of
the people's money without interest as
the Banks.
In other words, who can see why
three hundred millions of greenbacks
might not as well be hold by the com
munity as that amount of Bank notes
redeemable in greenbacks, and thus re
lieve the Government of so much in
terest.
The next question, how much wo
arc likely to be aided in our efforts 'to
ward specie payment by the Banks, is
almost answered by asking the ques
tion. At all events it requires butlittle
reflection to determine that the Na
tional Banks will find it to their inter
est to delay the question of redemption
in coin as long as possible, and wo all
know the influence which can, and al
ways has been exerted upon legislation
by Banks.
We arc not hostile to a Banking sys•
tern. On the contrary wo consider
Banks as essential to the welfare of a
business community, and our remarks
are only intended to draw attention to
the present system, and its relation to
our National interests.
aaT•A Border State Republican Con
vention assembled at Baltimore on the
12th inst. There was no distinction
of race or color. Horace Maynard was
elected Presidont. Letters from white
and colored distinguished politicians
were read, among which was one from
Senator Sumner, in which ho said that
"Congress will leave undone what it
ought to do if it fails to provide prompt
ly for the establishment of equal rights,
whether political or civil everywhere
throughout tho Union." Resolutions
were adopted urging Congress to pro
tect the equal voting rights of all loyal
American citizens, without regard to
complexion, and guarantee a republi
can form of government to all States;
and suggesting the presentation to
States for their adoption a Constitu
tional amendment, providing that no
State shall disfranchise any citizen be
oauso Of race or color. •
Ye-The Democratic candidate for
Governor in California has a majority
of over six thousand over the vote of
both Radical candidates combined.
The Radicals were too strong in that
State for a few years to remain honest,
and overboard they had to go, the fate
of the Democratic party in the bright
er days. The politicians of both par.
tins aro no more honest than they
should be. Tho pooplo can if they will,
mako them more honest. Many of the
Legislators of last winter in this State
wish they had a few months of their
lives to live over again. But they
"did it," and if they are not returned
to the next Legislature they will be
able to guess the reason why. Tho
taxes aro already too highfor the hon
est voters to overlook the extrava
gance of legislators.
Tho State Fair hold at Norris
town, Montgomery county, opened on
the 11th inst., and it is said the display
of stock, implements, fruit, etc., excee
ded anything over witnessed. Over
forty trotting horses wore entered.'
Another State Fair will be held in
Pittsburg, commencing the 24th of this
month.
On the Ist of August, 1865—when
our volunteers had not yet boon paid
off and our army reduced to a peace
footing—our ascertained national debt.
excooded the fund in the Treasury by
the gigantic amount of $2,757,689,571
It has been reduced to 2,492,783,365
Aetnally paid off $.264,90(3,206
or very nearly ono-tenth of the total.
OPENINO or .11111 AMAZON.—Satur
day, the 7th of September, was the
Brazilian Fourth of July, the anniver
sary of the independence of Brazil;
and on that day, this year, according
to a proclamation ,issued last Decom
ber, the Amazon, the great river, or
King of ,Water's, as the Indian name
Para signifies, was thrown open from
the Atlantic to the boundaries of Peru,
Henceforth all nations may freely use
of this great highway of commerce,
which gives steamboat navigation from
the Atlantic coast to within ninety
leagues of Lima. Peru has also by
treaty with Brazil, and by a former
treaty with the United States, granted
the free navigation of her Amazonian
waters. Navigation thus extends
across the continent. The Morons, a
sea-going Peruvian steamer, built by
the Penns of London, ascended, in Oc
tober, 1864, from the mouth of the riv
er to within ninety leagues of the city
of Lima.
The valley of the Amazon is a vast
and fertile wilderness, with hero and
there a town on the borders of the
great river. The most important and
productive parts of Venezuela,• Now
Grenada, Ecuador, Poru, and Bolivia,
as well as of Brazil, aro drained by its
waters. Its valley has an area equal
to the whole United States, without
tho Pacific States, and yet the popula
tion of the Amazon valley is at pres
ent no greater than that of the single
city of Brooklyn.
But now measures in regard to
grants of lands and emigrants have
just been proposed in the Brazilian
Parliament, which, if carried out, can
not fail to induce emigration to this
equatorial valley—whore the mercury
never rises as high as in Philadelphia,
and whore yet the rich and useful sta
ples, coffee, sugar, cotton, rice, india
rubber, etc., etc., repay the industrious
laborer a thousand fold.
BEM No.—The Lancaster corres
pondent of the Coatesville Union tells
how an election hot resulted in a law
suit : A ease was yesterday' decided in
our Court of Common Pleas, which
may have a tendency to check the too
common vice of gambling on elections.
During the Lincoln and McClellan can
vass of 1864, a Democrat of Reading
wagered a hundred dollars with a Re
publican of this county, that McClellan
would beat Lincoln on the "home vote"
in Pennsylvania. The home wet° was
never decided or at least tho Demo
crats who ventured their money al
leged it could not be decided, from the
fact that there were many sol
diers in tho State at that time, and
their votes could not be separated from
those of the citizens. This was a sharp
Democratic dodge, and "saved the ba
con" of more than one of them who ven
tured their stamps upon "Little Mack."
However, tho Lancaster Republican,
who was allowed the use of the money
pending the campaign, refused to be
governed by the decisions of the shar
pers, and held on to the stakos—s2oo.
The Reading man then gave informa
tion to the Directors of the Poor of
Lancaster county of the existence of
the bet, and ..demanded of them to
bring suit, under the act of Assembly
for the recovery of such penalties. The
suit was entered but was continued
from term to term, and only decided
at this court. The law under which
the suit was brought was enacted thir
ty years ago, and from the fact that it
never was enforced in this county, it
became to be regarded as a dead let
ter. The jury found for the plaintiffs,
and the $2OO with accruing interest
will go for the benefit of the poor.—
This is a good beginning towards the
suppression of a low vice, and if the
penalty was inflicted in all similar ca
ses it would sense entirely. Betting
men will please make a note.
TRH FATE or CRINOLINE.—Crinolino
is growing "small by degrees and beau
tifully less." Some ladies dispense
with it altogether indoors, but this is
just as bad as the other extreme. In
Paris it is still alinostuniversally worn,
but :is quite unobtrusive and almost
imperceptible. There are none of the
violent fluctuations from nothing to
the old-fashioned rotundity, which are
still to be seen among us. Very small
hoops and underskirts, gored, aro a
necessity with gored dresses, and la
dies who would avoid the imputation
of ignorance and bad taste must ro•
member this. A now skirt, all wool,
made without pleats, so as to•fit per
fectly over a small hoop, is among the
fall novelties. It is called the "Boule
vard," and will naturally supersede the
Balmoral, as it is light, durable, hand-
some, and specially adapted to the re.
quirements of tho present style of
dress. It is made in different styles;
some plain, some embroidered, some
trimmed with several rows of alpacea
braid, and others with a box pleating,
bound oneither edge with braid.
ti. The very serious and critical as
pect of our national affairs is beginning
to fill the public mind with sad forebo
dings. It is doubtful whether in the
darkest days of the late civil war the
publiepulse over indicated a WON° con
dition of things than it now does. Mon
ask each other when they meet how
the political problem is to be solved,
and confess their inability 'to supply a
satisfactory answer. In the meantime
commerce- languishes, the credit of the
Government—as expressed in the re
lations of gold to currency—wanes,and
the Southern section of the country,
which formerly, through its staple pro
ducts, added so largely to the wealth
of the whole nation, is no longer a
source of. prosperity, but of expense
and trouble; and all because, after
having made every sacrifice to put
down the Rebellion, we wore not wil•
ling, after it was put down, to sacri
fice party prejudices in order to sancti
fy and make lasting the• work which
our armies had accomplished.—New
York Herald.
Another batch of correspondence
concerning the Alabama claims has
been published. Lord Stanley, in his
dispatch dated May 24th, which was
handed to Mr. Seward by Sir Freder
ick Bruce, while the two wore fishing
at Auburn during the summer, con
sents to arbitration, provided two dis
tinct tribunals be established; one to
decide the responsibility incurred by
the British Government in depreda
tions Committed by the rebel privateers,
and the other to adjudicate general
claims on both sides. To this Mr. Sew
ard, in a dispatch dated August 12th,
objects as unnecessary, claiming that
if there should ho two tribunals they
should he clothed with th 6.• sv ;no pro
tlrs.
WHIPPING A RAILROAD.—The Saint
Paul Pioneer tells the following story
of an old farmer in Ramsey county,
Minnesota :
It seems that on Monday a conduc
tor on the St. Paul and Chicago Rail
way took a gang'of about forty mon
to Pig's Eye to commence work on the
road. Ground was to be broken on the
farm of Mr, O'Connor, but, lo and be
hold ! that individual appeared on the
ground with a blunderbuss, and threat
ened that the first man who stuck a
spade in the ground would be shot
dead. Hero was a dilemma. The la
borers thought their pay was rather too
small to risk their constitutions for,
and no ono voluntebied to bo tho "first
man." So work did nOt, progress very
briskly that Morning.
The contractor failing to pacify O'-
Connor, sent to town for the attorney
of the Company. That personage soon
appeared on the ground, and atter sur
veying the scene, concluded he could
"fix it up" quite easily, and started for
O'Connor, who was still mounting
guard over the sacred soil of his farm.
The latter individual raised the terri
ble blunderbuss, and commanded the
attorney to halt or he'd blow him thro'.
hold on—don't shoot," cried
the attorney, as ho fell back to safer
position, and concluded that treaty
making was not his forte.
A constable was next sent to arrest
the belligerent O'Connor, but ho, too,
beat a hasty retreat before that terri
ble gun. At last accounts the building
of the road had not been commenced,
O'Connor still standing guard over his
premises, having been on watch forty
eight hours.
A OLISSIO RAILWAY.—Tho Highgate
Finchloy and Edgowaro Railway, a
now branch line just opened in Eng
land, extending from the Ling's Cross
terminus of the Great Northern line
to the neighborhood of Canons, runs
through a region of country which a
number of English authors have ren
dered classic ground. Crouch End, for
instance, is haunted by the memories
of Rogers and Moore; Muswell Hill
by the dogmatic shadow of Dr. John
son, and Highgato by the gentle yet
earnest spirits of old Andrew Marvell,
dreamy Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
Leigh Hunt, and immortal John Kates
with his "largo utterance of the early
Gods." Finchlcy is tlij) locality of Dick
ens' "Bleak House;" tho story is said
to have been written at a farm houso
there, while Canons • Was the seat of
the Duke of Chandos, the description
of whose sybartical palace will be re
called by the readers of Pope.
An officer of General Grant's
staff relates a conversation which ho
had with the General a few days ago,
wherein the General remarked con.
corning the talk of making him Presi
dent, that "ho would not be President
of the United States if the opportunity
were offered ; that ho was no politician;
that he hated politics; that, so far as
reputation and honor wore coneornod,
ho thought ho ought to be satisfied
with what of these he already enjoyed;
that holding the office of President
would mar his present comfort and
drag him into the storms and excite
ments of politics; that as the General
of the army ho had all the work he
could do, and time enough to enjoy the
comforts of his family and home, and
that ho, as a soldier, had gained friends
enough in the country without now
Booking a place whore he should gain
no more, but probably lose those whom
he had gained."—N. I'. Post.
TREAT3IENT OE VENOIIOIIS BITES
Dr. James T. Newman reports in a
Chicago medical paper three cases of
rattlesnake bite, in one of which he ad
ministered, during six hours, the enor
mous quantityof thirty grains of mor
phia, on gallon of brandy and four
ounces oraqua ammonite. The patient
had been bitten three hours when the
treatment was commenced, and was in
great agony, enormously swollon,foam
ing at the mouth and convulsed. The
first dose was five grains of -morphia,
followed in ten minutes by half a pint
of brandy ! Stramonium leaves wore
also applied as a fomentation. The
remedies wore continued at short in•
torvals, with ,the addition of aqua am
monite, until the patient' became quiet
and fell into a gentle' sleep which lasted
for some hours. Ho fully rosovored.
Trouble in Tennessee,
NAstivmx, Tenn., Sept. 13.—At
Jackson, Madison county, yesterday
morning, a prominent citizen named
Hart was shot dead by militia, after
the former had given up his arms. The
militia went round compelling citizens
to give up their arms. The murder is
said to have been a most cold-blooded
and atrocious one. The citizens col
lected together and commenced to arm
for the purpose of driving the militia
from the place. United States troops
wore being pushed forward to the
scene of disturbance, and a general
riot was expected. The militia had
been committing depredations on citi
zens in various localities.
Richmond, Sept. 10.—A telogram
from Farmville to-night reports a fight
this afternoon between some soldiers
of the Twenty-first U. S. troops and
town negroes. The soldiers had beaten
a colored man for refusing to soil liquor
last night, and this morning wore
about to boat another, when the ne
groes rallied, and a fight ensued. The
citizens closed their stores, and a com
pany of soldiers wore sent in from
camp and restored order. Ono soldier
was stabbed in the melee, and about a
dozen soldiers and blacks badly beaten.
WILKESBARRE, Sept. D.—Ex-Chief
Justice Woodward was nominated
unanimously in convention to-day to
fill the unexpired term of Wm. Den-
nison, deceased. This gives him the
unanimous vote of the conferees for
the Twelfth (Pennsylvania) Congres
sional district. The Judge is now in
Europe, and it is understood that ho
will not return until after the election.
The district is strongly Democratic,
and the nomination probably insures
Woodward's election in October.
The Montana Post, of August 24th,

was held at Philadelphia, August 13,
1867. All the members were present.
The Treasurer reported $5,910 57 on
