THE TAXATION ARTICLE.
The_opponents of the New Constitution,
for want of some more weighty argument
against that instrument, assert that it re
peals the law now in force exempting all
real estate from State taxation. This may
be so; and let us add, that there never was
a greater humbug and fraud than the act
in . question! By this act, it is true, the
direct State tax was repealed, but every
fool knows that a certain amount of reve
nue is necessary to run the ordinary ex
penses of the State government, from year
to year. This revenue must be raised one
way or another. The Legislature, to make
a little political capital, repealed the di
rect State tax on real estate, but not the
direct County tax on real estate, and to
meet the deficiency thus created, by the
repeal of the direct State tax on real es
tate, the different County Commissioners,
of the several counties, were notified, by
the State authorities, that the State claim
ed a proportionate amount to make up the
deficiency, created by this repeal, from
each of them. Now, then, how did the
respective County Commissioners raise this
amount demanded by the State? Why,
by levying an additionalpereentagenf Coun
ty tax on real estate to c_ver the amount
demanded! What is the difference, we
would ask, between the County levying
this tax as a County tax or as State tax?
What difference does it make to the tax
payer, who has a certain amount of tax to
pay, whether it is assessed all as a County
tax, or divided and assessed partly as a
County and the remainder as a State taxi
The amount to be paid is the same in eith
er ease. The State must have a certain
amount of revenue, and whether it is paid
out of the County tax, levied on real es
tate, or as a State tax, levied on real es
tate, is all the same to the tax-payer. It
is six of one and half-a-dozen of the other.
We hope to hear no more of this dodge.
Senator Scott, according to the
Philadetphia Ledger of last week is re
ported to have stated a few days ago, that
he did not expect that Congress will be
able to do anything to relieve the depress
ed condition of business, and that views
are so diverse on the financial question
that it will be impossible for Congress to
agree on anything. He thinks there will
be an avalanche of schemes for relieving
the stringency in the money market, and
that these will be discussed without limit
and without result. He does not believe
that any measure of a financial character
will be passed at all. The Ledger adds :
"Senator Scott is a lumbar of the Senate
Finance Committee, and a prudent and
most intelligent legislator. If he said
what is reported of him, he probably spate
his own feelings and judgment, and the
more clovly he adheres to them in Con
gress, especially as to leaving the question
of relief to business through the medium
of an elastic currency severely alone, the
better for all."
I fir The Hollidaysburg Register, of last
week, complains bitterly of the manner in
which the Republican office-holders of that
county have treated it in the beptowal of
their patronage. They have for years. it
seems, persisted in giving their patronage to
Democrats, and ignored the paper that the
supported their election and kept up the
party that they might receive its rewards.
Out upon such ingrates! We look upon
suds eoncluct as *defensible. The man
who will not support the bridge that safe
ly bears him over does not deserve to be
styled a man, much less does he deserve
any political preferment. Patronage al
ways belongs to the officer who controls it
fer the benefit of the party. We take no
stock in the man who will go back on his
partisan paper; and friend Over, if we
were in your position, we would number
the political days of the man who would
undertake to do it.
as. It will be seen by the telegraphic
news, in another column, that the Govern
ment is determined to resent the outrage
perpetrated upon the passengers and crew
of the Viiginius. The time has come
when some action must be taken in regard
to the barbarities, perpetrated by the
Spaniards, in Cuba. This sort of thing
has gone on quite long enough.

upon the'old instrument. We hope every
voter will read it and then make up his
mind to vote for it. It will he published

New York, November 14.—A dispatch
just received via Jamaica states that on
the 9th inst., the remainder of the crew
on the Virginias, one hundred and eleven
men, were shot at Santiago de Cuba. They
were all marched to the slaughter house
wall and placed before the firing party by
tens. As fast as one ten fell another ten
were marched up, and their dead bodies
fell on those already slain.
WASHINGTON, November 14.—1 t can
be stated on official authority that while
the present naval preparations do not mean
war against Spain or Cuba they are signi
ficant of the determination of this govern
ment to protect American interests at any
hazzard, and to prevent in the future such
massacres as those which followed the cap
ture of the Virginias and Which shocked
the entire civilized world. _ _
Experience has shown that the Spanish
government cannot enfloce its own decrees
in the island of Cuba. and therefore it be
comes imperative fur the United States to
protect its citizens from Cuban ferocity.
Emboldened by late events it is not im
probable that such massacres as these
which have lately taken place may be re
peated en citizens of the United States
about whose nationality there is no doubt.
and without granting a request to stay
proceedings until all the facts invelved in
the seizures and trials e•nald be clearly as
eel tained. Besides, our citizetis in Cuba
have suffered much from embargoes and
confiscations without remedy film either
Spain or the authorities or the island.
The patience of the government scents
to be exhausted, and as nothing effective
can be depended upon from the Spanish
government, notwithstanding its friendly
* feeling toward the United States, the law
of self protection is recognized by our
government as applicable to the present
condition of affairs. There is among all
prominent officers of our government an
earnestness in preparations now in pro
gress, to meet all questions practically as
they arise.
Instead of depending on Spanish offi
cials from the transmis:ion of communica
tions from our consuls, either by letter or
by telegraph, our naval officers will be in
structed to inquire diligently into the con
dition e the affairs of the island and
promptly report the facts to the proper de
partment.
Our government is now waiting to hear
what the Spanish government will do in
response to earnest protests against the out
rage perpetrated on the victims of the Vir
ginius. Hero the matter rests for the
present.
It can be stated on authority of the
President himself that he did not, as re
ported, personally write a dispatch to Gen
eral Sickles directing the offer of our co
operaeon to he made to the president of
Spain in his movements to control the
Cubans. Nothing of the kind has even been
suggested, the United States relying upon
power to protect their interests without
any alliance with Spain, who has shown
herself to be almost, if not entirely, pow
erless to enforce compliance, even with
reasonable demands, in the Island of Cuba,
the authorities of which in most cases act
ing independently of all control of the
home government.
The British minister has become satis
fied, it is reported upon trustworthy au
thority, that the Virginius was actually
captured in British waters, and that the
British citizens on board at the time are
expected to become subjects of Spanish
barbarities, and accordingly he has acted
with alacrity. '
_ . . . .
If the life of any British subject has
been sacrificed ; it is the common talk here
in diplomatic circles that Great Britain
will have satisfaction while American au
thorities are deliberating over the course
to be pursued to maintain our own nation
al honor.
WASHINGTON, November 14.—The ses
sion of the cabinet to day continued over
two hours and was• the most important
which has taken place under President
Grant's administration. The capture of
the Virginius and the shocking barbarities
perpetrated by the Spanish authorities at
Santiago de Cuba, formed the subject of
serious consideration, and definite action
towards maintaining the dignity of the
United States in existing complications
was taken,
While all the members of the cabinet are
extremely reticent as to the nature of the
conclusions reached to-day, it may be said
that the administration is thoroughly in
accord with the sentiment of the people of
the country, and the course of the author
ities will be heartily approved. One mem
ber of the cabinet when approached on the
subject replied, as to the nature of the ac
tion agreed upon to-day, I can say nothing,
but you may rest assured the people of the
country will be satisfied.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the cabinet Secretary Robeson repaired to
the navy department, and first had a long
conference with the chief of the bureau ofl
construction and repairs as to fitting out
for sea several vessels now laid up, and
then with the chief of the bureau of equip
ment and recruiting relative to furnishing
such vessels with their complement of men,
stores, etc. A large number of telegrams
between the secretary and commandants
of the several navy yards passed during
the day, and affairs about the department
were conducted with secrecy.
Various rumors are being circulated to
night as to the determination of the cabi
net. One is that the government will de
mand of.gpain the immediate arrest an•l
punishment of the parties mainly instru
mental in conducting the outrages of which
the government so seriously complains,
•snd if the Castillian government shall be
unable to give the required satisfaction,
this government will proceed to extreme
measures necessary to obtain it, though no
cabinet officer admits directly that this is
one of the conclusions arrived at during
to-day's deliberations, still upon its being
presented there is no positive denial.
The fact is that owing to the determina
tion adopted in the cabinet session not to
make known for the present any portion
of the proceedings it is more than ordi
nary difficult to obtain even the slightest
intimation from any one of the several
heads of departments or from the Presi
dent, excepting as mentioned above,
Iu the admission that the decision will
meet the heartiest approve' of the Ameri
can people, there is reason to believe that
one of the subjects accompanying the dis
cussion of the situation was that of the
Spanish man of war now undergoing re
pairs at New York, and it was remarked
in the course of consultation that should
that vessel by any possibility come into
the hands of the government, its possession
would more than compensate fur the loss
of the Virginius so far as the comparative
values of the ships are concerned.
NEW YORK, November I4.—The ex
citement raised by the Santiago de Cuba
massacre is by no means abated here .
Los Amigos de Cuba, the principal Cuban
society here, is meeting with much success
in organizing a new expedition. Money
is being subscribed liberally, and hundreds
of volunteers are alai-inv. their services.
The present will doubtless be the largest
Cuban expedition ever yet fitted out in
aid of the rebellion. At Cuban head
quarters yesterday it was found necessary
to post placards announcing that no more
volunteers for Cuba were needed in conse
quence of the immense number presenting I
themselves for that purpose.
This is done to avoid enlisting men
openly, as such a course would be in direct
violation of the United States laws, but
other means are indicated by which those
desiring to enter the Cuban service may
do so without breaking the laws. Many
wealthy Cuban residents have subscribed
to the cause most handsomely. One lead
ing, Cuban lady gave all her available
money, besides her diamonds and other
valuables to be used in the purchase of
"rifles and bullets to save Cuba." as she
expressed it. The stones numbered over
one hundred, one being of the finest qual
ity, and the largest weighing about six
carrots, valued at $4,000. Various Cuban
societies have also subscribed liberally.
BALTIMORE, November 14.—This morn
ing a large number of Cubans and Ameri
can sympathizers assembled at the corner
of Eutaw and Baltimore streets for the
purpose of indicating their sympathy with
the Cuban cause by parading through the
principal streets and holding an indigna
tion meeting in Monument square. The
procession carried the Cuban flag, draped
in mourning, side by aide with the United
States flag. Arriving at Monument square
the meeting organized by calling Col. E.
31. Verger to the chair. A number of vice
presidents were appointed, after which
speeches were made, a committe appointed,
arid re.olutions passed in favor of belliger
ent rights fir Cubans. The meeting then
adjourned subject to the call of the exec
utive dnumittee.
PHILADELPHIA, November 14.—The
p sting of the news of the butchery of the
balance of the crew of the Virginias up in
the bulletin boards, about noon, had the
effect of gathering large crowds, who com
mented upon the horrible deed moat free
ly. Their language was as emphatic as
men could possibly make it. The
general inquiry seemed to be, "When will
this thing stop ?" The action of the gov
ernment authorities was severely comment
ed on, and Mr. Fish was condemned
oftener than praised. The news has pro
duced a deep feeling of indignation, and
the prospects are that the calling of a pub
lic meeting will soon be announced.
PoaTsmomr, N. H., November 14.
By an order from the navy department,
all the sailors on board the United States
receiving ship Sabine, at this station, were
this morning dispatched to New York for
service on United States vessels in Cuban
Waters.
BOSTON, November 14.—Orders have
been received at the navy yard here to fit
out the United States frigate Brooklyn so
that she can sail by the 15th of December.
The Franklin is also to be got in readiness
for the sea. Two hundred sailors leave
the receiving ship Ohio to-morrow for the
Brooklyn navy yard.
BROOKLYN, November 14.—The United
States steamship Kansas, which received
her sailing orders last night, sailed this
morning at half past ten o'clock for San
tiago de Cuba. She is fully equipped and
prepared for service and carries three guns
of heavy calibre.
LONDON, November 24.—The seizure
of the steamer Virginius by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba, and the execution of
a portion of her passengers and crew, have
excited the liveliest feelings of indignation
n this city, and the outrage is everywhere,
the principal topic of conversation. The
leading London newspapers discuss the
outrage at great length and unanimously
approve of the interference of the Ameri
can government in the matter. The hasty
action of the Spanish officials in Cuba is
severely denounced and prompt action by
the government at Madrid to satisfy pub
lic indignation is demanded.

THE SUN.
WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND DAILY
THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known to
require any extended recommendation; but the
re.isons which have Rimer* , given it fifty thousand
subsoribers, and which will, we hope, give it many
thousands more, are briefly as follows:
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the
day will be found in it, condensed when unim
portant, at full length when of moment, and always
presented in a clear, intelligildc and interesting
manner.
It is a first-rate family l aper, full of entertain
ing and instructive reading of every kind, but
containing nothing that can offend the most deli
cate and scrupulous taste.
It is a first-rate story paper. The bestfales and
romances of current literature are carefully selected
and legibly print,: in its pages.
It is a taut-rato agricultural paper. The most
fresh and instructive articles on agricultural topics
regularly appear in this department.
. .
It is an independent political paper, 'belonging
to no party and wearing no collar. t lights for
principle, and for the election of the best men to
office. It especially devotes its energies to the
exposure of the great corruptions thatnow weaken
and disgrace our countrn and tb!eaten to under
mine republican institutions altogether. It has no
fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their sup
porters.
. . _ . .
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the
markets for the men. especially the cattle-markets,
to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paperpublished. One
dollar a year will secure it for any subscriber. It
is not neePseary to get up a club in order to have
THE WEEKLY SUN at this rate. Any one who
sends a single dollar will get the paper for a year.
We have no traveling agents.

P ROSPECTUS FOR IB74—SEVENTH YEAR
THE SLDINE,
An Illustrated Monthly journal, universally ad
milted to be the Handsomest Periodical in
the World. A Representative and
Champion of American
Taste.
Not for Sale in Book or News Stores.
THE ALDINE, while issued witt. all the reg
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely inter
est characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is
an elegant miscellany of pure, light and graceful
literature ; and a collection of pictures, the rarest
specimens of artistic skill, in black and white.
Although each succeeding number affords a fresh
pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty
of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after
it has been bound up at the close of the year.
While other publications may claim superior
cheapness as compared with rivals of a similar
class, THE ALDLVE is a unique and original
conception—alone and unapproached—absolutely
without competition in prier+ or character. The
possessor of a eomplete volume cannot duplicate
the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any
other shape or number of volumes for ten times
its cost; and then, there aro the chromos, besides!
ART DEPARTMENT, 1874:
The illustrations of THE ALDINE have won
a world-wide reputation, and in the art centres of
Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood cute
are examples of the highest perfection ever at
tained. The common prejudice in favor of "steel
plates," is rapidly yielding to a mere educated
and discriminating taste which recognizes the ad
vantages of superior artistic quality with greater
facilities of production. The wood-cuts of THE
ALDINE possess all the delicacy and elaborate
finish of the most costly steel plate, while they af
ford a better renderhig of the artist's original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which THE
ALDINE is doing for the saute of the art culture
in America, it is only necessary to consider the
cost to the people of any other decent representa
tions of the productions of great pait.ters.
In addition to designs by the members of the
National Academy, and other noted American
artists, THE ALDINE will reproduce examples
of the best foreign masters, selected with a view
to the highest artistio success and greatest general
interest. Than the subscriber of THE ALDINE
will, at a trifling cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 187-I will be by
Thomas Moran and J. D. Woodward.
Tim Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spe
cial designs appropriate to the season, by our beet
artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its
predecessors,
PREMIUM FOR 1871
Every subscriber to The Aldine for the year
1974 will receive a pair of chromos. The original
pictures were printed in oil for the publishers of
The Aldine, by Thomas Moran, whose great Colo
rado picture was purchased by Congress for ten
thousand dollars. The subjects were chosen to
represent "The East" and "The West." One is a
view in the White Mountains, New Hampshire;
the other gives The Cliffs of the Green River,
Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature
of the scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast.
and affords a good display of the artist's scope
and coloring. The chromes are each worked from
thirty distinct plates, and are in also (12x16) and
appearance exact fac-simfies of the originals. The
presentation or a worthy example of America '.4
greatest landscape printer to the subscribers of
The Aline was a bold but peculiarly happy idea,
and its successful realisation is attested by the
following testimonial, over the signature of Mr.
Moran himself.
NEWARK. N. J., Sept. 20, 1873.
Mean, JAHES Sorrow & Co.
Gentlemen.—l am delighted with the proofs in
color of your chromes. They are wonderfully suc
cessful representations by mechanical process of
the original paintings.
Very respectfully.
(Signed.) THOS.
Them s elaomosi ore in every sense American.
They are by an original American process, with
material of American manufacture, from designs
of Amerlean scenery by an American painter, and
presented to subscribers to the first successfu
American Art Journal. If no better because of all
this, they will certainly possess an interest no for
eign prodaation can inspire, and neither are they
any the worse if by reason of peculiar facilities of
production they cost the publishers only a trifle,
while equal in every respect to other chromes that
are sold single fur double the subscription price of
Tko Aldine. Persons of taste will prize these pic
tures fur themselves—not for the price they did
or did not cost, and will a.;,preoiate the enterprise
that renders their distribution possible.
If any subseribor should indicate a preference
for a awns subject, the publizlers will send
' , Thoughts of Home," a new and beautiful chromo
14x20 inches, representing a little Italian exile
whose speaking eyes betray the longings of his
heart,"
TERMS
SS per annum, in advance, with Oil Chromes free.
for FIFTY CENTS extra, the chromos will be
sent mounted, varnished, and prepaid by mail.
The Aldine will, hereafter, be obtained only by
subscription. There will be no reduced or club
rate; cash for subscriptions must be to the pub
lishers direct, or handed to the local canvasser,
without responsibility to the publishers, except in
cases where the eertifleato is given, bearing the
facsimile signature of James Sutton & Co.
