KADI CAL TAXATION AND ROBBERY, As editorials are always “leaded,” It was unkind in the Herald to use as its chief argument, in reply to our strictures mi the management of the finances of I’ennsylvauia, the fact that our views werSeprcsented in a “leaded leader;” and as we are not responsible for the weight of tile type-metal, it was equal ly unkind in its Harrisburg correspond ent to charge us with treating' the sub ject in “a column of heavily leaded mat ter." This breach of editorial courtesy can only be accounted for by the well known antipathy of the Herald es tablishment to lead in all its forms, ns manifested during the war; or if per chance its Harrisburg correspondent was engaged in the recent paper specu lations on Capitol Hill, by the fact that lie lias a greater fondness for steal than for lead. While we are gratified to learn that our neighbor considered our article “ a regular smasher and crusher” -and are rather inclined to that opin ion ourselves—we regret that, we are unable to reciprocate the compliment, for his reply is as miserable a jumble of irrelevant facts as it would be possible to get into the same space. Wo regret that we cannot give Ids article entire, lad its great length forbids. If it is tin; best vindication of the Harrisburg authorities that can be produced—and we are bound to believe it is, for we are told it was prepared by “a gentleman conversant with tin; workings of tile State Government”—then the case is much worse than we -had even sus pected. The Herald’s correspondent fears that we have" cracked our feline intestines,” lint we assure him we will have enough cat-gut left to fiddle over the dishonor ed grave of the Radical party. He pleads that “it would be dillicult to make out a case of ‘ fraud and cheat’ when the money must go into the State Treasury and lie accounted for by the head of that department.” innocent and unsophisticated individual! Are State and National treasuries never, robbed under the guise of honest legis lation ? Did not tlie whole State ring with charges of wholesale corruption against the lust Legislature? Were there not hundreds of “ frauds and clients” snaked through hi us many private bills, and. the State deft untied of thousands of dollars? is it possible Unit this gentleman is “conversant with (he workings of the State Govern ment," and knows nothing whatever about these tilings ? He thinks too that “ ‘f tlie Volunteer had chosen to enquire at the accounting olilces in Harrisburg, lull information on the subject would have been given.” Wo have only to reply that if the information thus ob tained would have been no fuller or more satisfactory than that given in ins correspondence, it would hardly have satisfied the tax-papers of Cumberland county, as tlie Herald and its friends will discover in the result of the ensuing election. The gentleman who Is so very <■ con versant with the workings of the State Government” informs us that, lor vacation of° ft l oamy Commissioners and the real ?oluo. 1110 Valuation of Com vtissioners.

Census Itenorfi u u but the valuation as per second colunm above" ‘ Zed From this statement, several facts are apparent: i-Yra/, while the Democratic county of Cumberland returned a valua tion ol $1,834,212, the Democratic county ol York a valuation of *2,581,'Mu and the Democratic county of Berks a valua tion of 42,886,1120—the Republican coun ty of Allegheny, including the city of Pittsburgh, returned a valuation of only $1,325,660, and thepopulousar.d wealthy .Republican county of Erie a valuation of only $464,111. Second, the Revenue Board took it upon Itself to increase the valuation of the sworn officers of theiaw* who were in theflrstplacethreo respecta ble and worthy eitizensln each township ami then the County Commissioners of each comity organized and sworn ns a board of revision, and increased the tax upon the same from $170,000 to 625,000, for the Herald Itself Informs us that “out of the amount returned by the Commissioners the State would have realized about $170,000 and out of the adjusted valuation $(*25,000.” Third, they increased the valuation to 41 Me ! real value,” and they ascertained this real value “ principally from the United Slate* Census Report,” This is a most astounding revelation! The return of the assessors is ignored, and the Census Report of ISGo—made six years prior lo that date— is taken as the basis of the assessment. The injustice of this method of computation will bo apparent when we consider that in this county alone,at the lowest at least a million of dollars, which wasreturuableas “ money at interest” in 1860, has since been in vested in Government bonds exempt from taxation; and the increased taxa tion must therefore fall upon the re mainder of the taxable property re turned by the assessors. Lot us admit that there aro men who dishonestly withheld a return of their money at interest—for this is a species of proper ty beyond the reach of the assessors, and in regard to which they have to re ly upon the honesty of the tax-payer— and yet any average fool will be able to see that under this assessment the hon est tax-payor will have to pay his own taxes and those of his dishonest neigh bor. To illustrate; suppose A. and B. each have a thousand dollars at interest. A makes an honest return of his money, l)Ul> li. rctmus no niuirc 4 v nt interest. Now the valuation of our taxable per sonal property is nearly doubled, and A. is assessed upon $2OOO, while B. es capes altogether. It this is what the Herald calls “equalization of the taxes,” we command it to the tax-payers of Cumberland County. Here is another quotation from the Herald's correspondence: •* After the valuation was made, tlie State Treasurer sent to the counties the following Cir cular: , Tuuasuuy Depautment of Pennsylvania, 1 HAimisnuna, JunoS, ISOl>. / Vij the (Jbmmteaioners of Cumberland County: There being bo much practical difficulty In the a.H6v<>Bnientaud collection of the lax on tho In creased valuation ol personal property for your county, as reported to me by the Board ol Reve nue Commissioners that 1 have concluded not to enforce payment on such increase till after the subject nm tic mbmilted to the Lcf/i-Wa/i/JV for re* i nrdyi" So the subject was to be submitted to the Legislature “/or remedy," Now it is to be presumed the State Treasurer is at least enough of an English scholar to know the .signification of tho words he uses. A Remedy signifies that which counteracts an evil or redresses a wrong, and here out of the mouth of tho Trea surer wo have it proved that the asess incut of this tax was “ an evil” and “ a wrong.” This is almost as bad as .our charge,tliat it \vas“a fraud and a cheat.” And so far was he convinced of its in justice and illegality that, as we are in formed by the Herald, he was willing to take $300,000 less than the amount assessed, if the Legislature would pass a law authorizing its collection. “ The bill passed the Senate, but the House,” doubtless for the reason that our representatives were unwilling to impose an additional tax of oven $300,000 upon their constituents. As they failed to get the required legisla tion, they have made up their minds to enforce this evil and wrong to the ut most. If it was an evil in 1800, it is no less an evil now. If it was wrong to enforce its assessment then, it is wrong now, for there is no warrant of law for it now, which did not exist then. The Herald tries to make a little capi tal out of tlie fact that “ Isaac Slenker, late Democratic Auditor General, was a prominent and active member of the board.” This is rather a lame excuse, as both his associate? were Republicans, and ho'is just about as responsible for their action as President Johnson is for tlu* passage of the reconstruction bills of the Radical Congress. In addition to this it is generally known that for the last few' months of his official term Mr. Slenker was seriously 111 and con fined to his bed, unable indeed to attend to any of the duties of his office. Verily, “ a poor excuse is hotter than none.” "In flue, notwithstanding the Her ald’e “hcavi'y leaded article of over a column,”’the main fact brought out by us remains uneontradicted. That fact is that after the State taxes of 1866 and ISC7 have been assessed and collected, a deficiency is trumped up against the county of $6,542,81, which mitet be raised, if raised at all, by an extra assessment. This will increase our State tax to lie assessed and collected this year from $6,087,18 to $43,130,021 In view of these facts, we reiterate the charge that the demand for sueh vast sums of money from the several counties of the Com monwealth shows unmistakably the immensity of radical extravagance and robbery during the past few years. It is in no sense a party question, except in so far as the Republican party sus tains Its radical leaders. The Republi can counties of Allegheny, Chester, Le banon we know have'protested against its payment; but the Herald appears .in the ring as the champion of the State Trea-suretrond commits its party in this county to the assessment and collection of the tax. It charges that “it is noto rious that the largest amount of person al property lias wholly escaped taxa tion from ignorance or complicity on the part of the assessors,” while at least thirty of these assessors and assistants belong to its own party. We are will ing to let it fight out its own fight with the tax payers of Cumberland County, merely admonishing it to look out for thunder about the second Tuesday of October. An Excellent Nomination,— By the last issue of that able and sterling paper, the Carlisle Volunteer, wo notice that the Democracy of Old Mother Cumberland are already in the field with an excellent County ticket.. We are particularly gratified with the no mination of our old friend Joseph C. Thompson, Esq., of Carlisle for Sheriff. We have known Mr. T. intimately since our earliest boyhood. A Democrat without guile, a gentleman of intelli gence and sound judgment, by profess ion a first-rate Printer, and one thor oughly acquainted, by a life-time spent in their midst, with the wants nnd wishes of, the people of Cumberland county, his nomination was one “emi nently fit to he made.” Of course he will be elected by a rousing majority.— Heading Gazelle. Coukection. In the published report of the proceedings of the Democratic Coni vention, which was furnished by the Sec retaries, there was anerror in the figures of the last ballot for, Assembly, which wo did not observe at the time. The vote should have been reported aa follows; Brieker 4; Cdrnmnn3o; Leidlg 10; Bellzhoover 6. A STEP IN ADVANCE There Is scarcely n Republican politi cian of any character or honesty who bias the assurance any longer to deny that it is the purpose of their party to enforce the puli fi cut equal ?/;/ o f thoblacks with the whites throughout the entire country. With their accustomed cow ardice me;.* failed to ini ei the is.-no in ih»*ir platform <»*’ principles adopted by the Williamsport Convention ; but in view of the legislation which forced ne gro suffrage upon the people of the Dis trict of Columbia and of the South, against their almost unanimous protest —thus placing ten millions of our own race under the domination of three millions of blacks; in view of the ne gro governments which are being or ganized in ten of the Southern States! and in view of their action in favor of negro suffrage in several of the North ern States, it would be rather foolhardy to deny their principles in the face of facts like these. If there is an honest Republican in Cumberland county who continues to believe that it is not the in tention of those Radical lenders to con fer upon the negroes equal soeial, as well as political rights with the whites, we commend the following to his thoughtful consideration: The following order was received m Washington to-day: HEAivjrAirrKiis second Military District, > CHARLESTON, S. C. AugLSl 17. Lv>7. ) GENERAL ORDERS. First. Before a Post Coun convened at the citadel, Charleston, South Carolina, July 80, ISG7, pursuant to authoritv from these headquarters, and of which Brevet Brigadier General H. B. Clent is Presi dent, was artaigned and tried William T. MeNelty, Captain of the steamer Pi lot Boy. Charge—Violation of paragraph S, Gen eral Orders No. 32. Specification—in Ibis, that \V. T. McNelty, Captain of the steamer Pilot Boy, did refuse to grant a first-class’ tick et and passage to Miss Frances Rollen from Charleston to Beaufort, South Caro lina, on his steamer, because of caste or color. Ail this at Charleston, South Carolina, Monday, July 22,15U7, Plea—Not guilty. Finding—Guilty. Sentence—To pay a tine of $250. Second. The evidence in this case shows that on July 22, 18G7, the com plainant, a respectable female, was, be cause of her color, refused cabin passage by the accused, who is the captain of the steamer Pilot Boy, a boat plying as a common carrier between ports in this mi litary district. It was conceded on the trial th'ut a general rule enforcing this discrimination had been maintained on board theboatcommanded by the accused. Tho guilt of tho offender, iu thus wilful ly disregarding the provisions of para graph 8, General Orders .32, prohibiting such unlawful distinctions, is confessed and proved. So long as the laws imposed civil and political disabilities because of servitude or color, common car riers were permitted to enforce the same discrimination among passengers. Such disabilities and usages have CEASED, TO HAVE ANY LEGAL SANCTION. Whatever belongs of common right to citizens; necessarily follows the RECOGNITION OF THE BLACKS AS CITI ZENS, and belongs to THEM. The obli gation of the common carrier is defined by n jurist of authority as follows : “ If he carry passengers, he must receive all who offer, and sent all alike, unless there be actual and sufficient reason for the distinction, as in the filthy appearenee, dangerous condition, or misconduct of a passenger." [Pa sons on Mercantile Law, page 207.] The observance of ttils rule has been enjoined by orders from these headquarters, daily published for the in formation a r id guidance of all concerned, and violation of the rcgulutioiifthus es tablished must be appropriately punish ed. The proceedings, finding and sentence are approved. By command of Major General I). E. Sickles. J. W. Cl-ucs, Captain Thirty-eight United States in fantry, A.D. C. and A. A. A. G. To our mind this smacks strongly of social equality. Hero we have it bold ly announced by one of the loading spirits in the Radical party that “ all civil disabilities because of color have ceased lo have any legal sanction ,” and that whatever social and civil privileges belong to the whites “ folluwetlie recog nition of the blacks as citizens, and lie long to them.” AiuT we have the doc -trine enforced by fining a white man two hundred and fifty dollars for refus ing to sell a negro woman a first class ticket on a steamboat, which would have entitled iter to a state-room, to a seat at the table with white ladies and gentlemen, and to a place in the public parlor. In enforcing this penalty Gen eral Sickles simply gave a practical il lustration of the principles embodied in thecivil rights bill and the Constitution al Amendment passed by the radicals in the last Congress—and placed before tile country the enormities of these ra dical measures in such clear and unmis takable light, that no one can any long er plead ignorance of their purpose or affect. What is good radical law for South Carolina, ought to be equally good for Pennsylvania. The same penalty may be enforced upon any of our landlords who- refuse to give up their best rooms and their best ac commodations to the male and female “ pet lambs.” All that is wanting is some Frances Rollen to demand her “ rights” and some valiant Sickles to enforce them. They will not be hard to find, when the opportunity arrives for the radicals to vindicate this “ great principle.” And is not this social equa lity, enforced by law ? When the strong arm of the law—or the hand of military power—takes a negro woman into the presence of white ladies and gentleman, and compels them to sit at the same table with her, and to share the same bed-room, or imposes a penalty upon the landlord or steamboat officer who refuges her admittance, is it notapracti cal enforcement of social equality be tween the races? And yet we are told this Republican party is not in favor of the social equality of the races. Wo are told so in the face of .their civil rights hill and Constitutional Amend ment—in the face of their crowding ne groes into the jury box, and the halls of legislation—in tin; face of their de crees forcing blacks and whites into companionship, which is the very essence of social equality; and we re gret to say there are always plenty of fools to believe the denial. We are in formed that one of the leading Radicals of this county, in a political liarranguo delivered in the African Church of this place, on a recent'Sabbatli night, told his hearers it would not he long until they would walk arm-in-arm with the whites, and hold their heads up as high as anybody. This is thcsnme individu al who threw’ ins arms around a big buck- negro in the market house, on the morning after the last election, exclaim ing “these are the boys that win!” His tastes and inclinations are but of a piece with the remainder of his party. Ex-Gov. Curtin, who has been spending the past few mouths in Eu rope, has arrived at his home in Belle fonte. A tVOltl.i: IIKKII, It ln\s been our pleasure on several occasions to refer in these columns to the valuable public services rendered to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ami to the country at largo, by that no-' blc obi patriot and soldier General Pat terson, of ‘Philadelphia. .Through a long amt eventful life, he has pree-rved his honor as a merchant, citizen and soldier untarnished, but it‘lists been re served for his ripe mid honorable old age, to perform the crowning act of a noble spout life—an act that will not only bring down upon his head the blessings of those be has individually benefited—but that will embalm his memory in the hearts of all who love and revere true, generosity and nobility of diameter. General Patterson docs not belong to that class of “ patriots” who are" continually bellowing in the public ear, what they have done for the poor and needy of the laud. Whilst they arc talking, be in a quiet unosten tatious way, and with a delicate appre ciation of the character of the people lie was going to serve, places in the hands of the destitute, but worthy farmers of “Chester District,” S‘ C., a sum that would be considered in many sections of our country, a princely fortune. Ho docs not give it as alms, but proffers it to them as a loan, so that the most sen sitive may not shrink from accepting his generous aid. Ho gives it not to the worthless—the indolent or the de praved—but to these who are not only willing but anxious to labor, but who (until his generous aid was bestowed) were so poor and powerless that they could do nothing but wring their bands in wretchedness and woe. To these far mers in distress—when their own peo ple were powerless to succor—he gave seed to plant, and food to sustain, until the harvest- is gathered and the famine is over. Our farmers of the rich Cum berland Valley can appreciate this no ble deed and will honor him, who though long tried in the furnace of fa natical hate and injustice, has come fortli ns fine gold from the fire. We can not but envy the General the sweet satisfaction he must feel in hav ing been selected as an instrument in the hands of a good Providence, for be stowing so much happiness upon a dis tressed and ruined people. That his noble conduct is appreciated, is made manifest by the following extract, ta ken from a long article on the subject, which appeared in the “ Chester Stand ard,” some time since : “ It waa in such an hour that a stran ger, a Northern man, came to our rescue. Through Major Pagan, their agent, the tirm of K. Patterson & Col, announced to the despairing, aye ! hopeless farmers of Chester. District, that they would aid them in their distress. They agreed .to let them have that oi; credit-whiuh is al ways cash in all the markets of the world, viz, corn and bacon. It is impossible to conceive theeffectof this announcement ; it spread upon the wings of the wind, and infused new life into the.communi ty. One hundred thousand dollars have been distributed by this firm from this point in the shape or corn and bacon, sold to farmers to he paid for when the crops are gathered. It is not alone the farmers receiving a portion of this, who are to be grateful, but the whole community, for it will make many thousand acres blos som with the fruits of industry which otherwise wou'd have laid in neglect.- 1 * It wiM put thousands upon thousands of dollars in circulation next fall, (If God blesses us with a good harvest), which but for General Patterson would never have been created. God bless him for this pnucely gift, to a distressed and un poverished people. If there is a sacred debt owing by anj' people on earth, it is for this more lhai> manna'* Allien from the skies, and we believe it is so regard ed by every one. We but faintly express the general sentiment of this community when we express their heartfelt grati tude.” lion We Arc Taxed. The New York Tribune , unquestiona ble loyal authority, says: “This country is staggering under an enormous load of Public debt. The Fed eral Government owes two billions and a half; theStatesowelargeamounts; while counties, cities and townships, have each their several burdens. Wo are paying in the aggregate not less than three hun dred millions per annum as inierent on these various debts, while we are consid erably reducing the principal, especially, of the local obligations incurred providing bounties for the volunteers in our late struggle.' Altogether, the taxes paid by the people of the United States, though considerably reduced from the maximum they attained in 1805-0, must probably exceed live hundred millions per annum Almost everything is taxed, from the ba by’s posset to the old man’s coffin—many things twice and thrice over. The Radical politicians can not help knowing what is the real condition of tins country, yet they continue the most reckless system of public expendi ture. The electioneering campaign among the negroes of the South is cost ing more in money alone than Was ever expended hy any Democratic adminis tration, and that is only a trifle when compared witli the loss caused by the suspension of industry and the destruc tion of the mateiiah resources of that section. Yet the people of the North allow themselves to be made the dupes and tools of a party which having im poverished the Nation and burthened us all with almost insupportable taxa tion, is still adding to the debt and in creasing tlio rate of taxation. Never did the world witness such stupid folly on so extended a scale. Read It.— On our first page will bo found the very able and profound speecli delivered recently by the great states man, Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio. In this hour of the national trouble, when the very foundations of our'.Union are being undermined, and when the utterances of scullions, liber tines and blackguards are cheered by Jacobin partisans, it Is encouraging to those who are engaged in the noble work of striving to arrest the mad career of fanatical Yankees to read the words of wisdom contained in Mr. Pendleton’s speech. Read it, every body. El(J!ctioneeeing Among the Ne ghoeh.—A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing to that paper from Tennessee, puts the following query: “Is it to be wondered at that the ne groes voted for the Radical candidates; who during the past six months have eat en and slept with them and most thor oughly abased themselves to their level?” Wo should rather think not. But wind a miserable crow the newly elect ed Radical officials of that State must be. It is possible that some of thorn may be meaner oven than Brownlow. Who knows?

We. ask the tax-payers to look at these facts, and then ask themselves whether they are justified in giving support to men who thus squander their money. From Slate let us go to National af fairs. In 1800, under the ranch-abused but faithful President, James Buchan an, the expenses of tho Government wore sixty-two millions of dollars.- Iji 1867, under a treasonable, thieving rump Congress, the expenses are two hundred coid twenty-fire millions of dollars , inde pendent of interest on the National debt, both being periods of peace. These are facts which will not, cannot be de-. nied. We repeat, then, that it becomes the people to stop and think, before they again trust their interests to the keep ing of a set of scoundrels who for the lust seven years have been stealing in tho name of “loyalty.” CLEANING OUT. . The I resident some time since direc ted the Secretary of War to issue orders mastering out of service all volunteer officers not absolutely required, and de tail in their place officers of the regular army. It is now found that a number of volunteer officers are yet in the serv ice, receiving salaries, especially some of whom were kept bn duty by special Order of the President, nominally, but renjly upon the suggestion, of Stanton and prominent officers of tho Republi can organization, for tho distribution of funds and political documents in tho Southern States, and, their salaries for this labor are virtually paid by the Gov ernment, for their services are not re quired in the military department.— General Howard is receiving tho p9y of Major General of volunteers, while act ing as superintendent of the freedmen’s bureau. This fact accounts in a great measure for tho bitterness of tho pen sioned Mongrel press at the removal of Stanton and the loss of plunder. If President Johnson adheres, to this sys tem of rooting out unnecessary plunder ers, and compelling men to render equivalent for services he will command tho applause of every honest man. , Judge SHAnswoonisinfavorof law ' .order and the constitutional rights of all men; Judge Williams is pledged to make everything else subserve the pur pose of his party. The Constitution and laws of Pennsylvania are as nothing to him when they stand in the way of Mongrelism. Which of these two gen tlemen is best qualified to fill a seat on the Supreme Bench of the State ? CAN SURRATT RE TRIED OVER AGAIN. Tho Now York Herald , in jvi article on the Surratt Jury, speaks of a “ now tHnl” of that already woll-triod indi vidual, and other papers speak of anoth er trial of Surratt as a matter of course. Tho Washington correspondent of two of our morning papers do tho same, one saying that Surratt is depressed with the idea of having to “go through an other trial,” and the other holding forth as follows: It is expected that before the next trial of Surrafc can occur Congress will have re passed tho bill pocketed by the President at the last session providing that no dis tinction on account of race or color shall bo made in the selection of jurors.' The (attention of Congress will be called to The fact that all of tho southern born ju rymen at the recent trial wero in favor of the prisoner's acquittal, and that only one northener, bom in New York city, by the way, coincided with them. This correspondent not only takes it for granted that Surratt will be tried a second time for his life, but luxuriates in the blissful belief that, next time, a majority of the jurors will be negroes! This scribbler is certainly far ’more wicked than wise. \ But can Surratt be again put on trial for his life?. The Constitution of tho United States (is that of any account now?) says: Article Vof Amendment, No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, un less, on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, * nor shallany jycrsonbr sub ject FOR THE SAME OFFENSE, to bo TWICE put in jeopardy of hfc[or limb. This strikes us as very plain language, and as the “ life” of Surratt has been once "put in jeopardy” wo cannot un derstand how or why, under the Con stitution, his life can a second time lie put in jeopardy “ for tho same offense.” Tho following from the Sunday Dis lialch, is to tho point and contains all that need be said on this subject: The case of the United States vs. John H. Surratt charged with the murder of Abraham Lincoln, was concluded yester day at Washington by the discharge of the jury in consequence of inability to agree. This concludes thc'canc, for Sur ratt cannot be again tried for the murder, being entitled to plead, if arraigned, •“once in jeopardy.” This is a familiar principle cf the criminal law, and was settled in this State many years ago in the case of Commonwealth vs. Joanna Clew. The only case in which the dis charge of a jury upon account of disagree ment will authorize a second trial is where tho jury was released in conse quence of the sickness of a juror so dan gerous that it was established that his life would bo in imminent peril if he was not set free. Parson (I) Bbownlow, whom the Radicals just now delight to honor, and whom, the negroes have made Gover nor of Tennessee, used the following language while making a speech in 1854: “I heard all the particulars of your burning that negro the other day, and think you served him exactly right; wheneuer you get to burning negroes and dram-shops, count me 090; I’ll help you.” Ho was then a violent pro-slavery man. ; In 18GG, he joined the Radical party, and in a speech before the “•{Southern Union Convention” held at Philadelphia, said; “ I would rather go to hell with a loyal negro, than to Heaven with a white rebel*” Let it be remembered that this man is honored and endorsed by the Radical party. Judge Williams, who with yankce eunuipg asks your suffrages to make him Supreme Judge of the State, endorses this man and sanctions his election •. ; , A WORD TO OITR OER3IAN FRIENDS. It is hut a short time since an eminent Pennsylvania Radical, no less a person age than Ex-Governor Curtin, made use of the following language; “ A Dutchman is not like another per son r7ic has two skulls, and in order to yet an idea into his head, you must break one of his skulls." ■ Horace Greely, in speaking of some portions of Ohio, says: “ Several counties wore settled years aflo by a school-hating, rum-loving breed of Pennsylvania Dutch." A Massachusetts paper terms the nomi nation of Henry Williams for file Su preme Court, “ an acknowledgement on the part of tile stolid Dutch elements of the Supcrioi ity of New England men." It calls 1 oniisylviinhv a “poor Senior ant, stupid old Dutch State," and' pre sumes that “ tho next crop of Dutch vo iers will be as completely ‘ Yankeelzed’ as it is possible to effect out of such vn -2>romiBlny material.” What say you to this, Gormans of Cum berland county ?' Will you vote for New England Williams when his friends call you a poor, ignorant, stupid, thick skulled, school-hating, rum-loving breed of Penn sylvania Dutch'! As for ourselves, we will not be “ Yankeelzed,” and wo do not believe that our German friends will. A Die; in the Rids.— Gen. Grant's readiness to obey the orders of the Pre sident in driving Stanton from the War Department is a terrible dig in the riba to the Pharisees of loyalty. How nice it woud have been if this little move of tho President had been checkmated by Gen. Grant I Imagine the chagrin of tho Radical crew. Poor Grant! Hischances for a Republican nomination for the Presidency are gone. To have been Jn sobordinate like Sheridan and Stanton would have made him an idol with tho “loyal” of the land. Had the people of the South been per mitted to take their place in tho Union, as they desired to do, they would now be in a condition of comparative ease, with ample means to assist to pay a largo portion of the nation’s indebted ness. But under the legislation of the Rump, they nreparalyzod and impover ished, pay little or nothing into the Treasury, and the people of tho North have to contribute forty millions of dol lars to the military satraps to superin tend tho registration of negroes and keep the Radical party alive. A leading Republican member of Congress, having great opportunities to know what ho was talking about, said upon the floor of the House of Repre sentatives, that fully one third of the three thousand millions of the debt of tho Government was fradulently con tracted. One thousand millions of dote lars, then, during the administration of this party has been stolen from the Government by fraudulent contractors speculators and office-holders. ’ B®™Tax-Payer I— Your attention : “ loyal” ‘Legislature Cost of Iho of 1617, Behold this difference, tax payers I Tfour Legislature of 18G7, with John W.

Tim Wooden CumHilM*' nm * Tho'iVaw oh Monday last, and others following in.the Mongrel tyake, appear to bo very much distressed at the idea of Judge,Williams >oing charged with en tertaining sentiments favoring repudia tion. They pretend to'deny that he en tertains such sentiments now, or ever did. What makes them so nervous on this point ? Have thn holders of the repudia ted Pittsburg and Allegheny ponds- been looking up Judge Williams’antecedents? If the Connecticut'Judgedfe popular-in Pittsburg because of the part ho took against the payment of said bonds, what can ho gain by denying the fact? • There is a peculiar mystery about the mode of electioneering adopted by the mongrelMs which, wo confess, bothers ns, ami which we can account for only on Urn supposed blind gullibility of the par ty k For some weeks bast the entire phal anx of the mongrel'press, have presented a bold opposition to Judge Sharswood’s opinion in the case’ of JJorlc ,VB. 2'rott, wherein thcconstitutionalityof the green back ns a legal tender in a previous con tract is discussed, but they lake special care not to publish-that opinion dn l full. If we understand the opinion of Judge Slmrswood, it is simply this, —that a con-' tract made "within the law to pay in ape-. cie, could not be set aside by subsequent act of Congress making paper a legal ten der ; that a contract to pay the interest of a gimind rent in Spanish milled dollars’ could not be satisfied with paper of,ldas value. • 1 In plain terms, the position of Judge Slmrswood was ayainrt a repudiation of contract. Hence, to. oppose this opinion is to favor repudiation, -- The Mongrel press cannot attack Judgd Slmrswood upon this point, without com promising Judge Williams. Judge Slmrswood’s opinion was recog nized by the Black Republican Legisla ture of Pennsylvania, as correct;. The interest on the debt of Pennsylva nia was payable in specie. When green backsSvere at an immense discount the Black Republican Legislature passed an act repudiating the contract, and order ing* the payment to be made in'green backs. If Judge Sharswood'was wrong in his oxnnion, there was no.excuse for the Le gislature to pass the act of'repudiation, because Congress had already marl (‘green backs a legal tender. • If the Executive officer of the. Co mmonwealth could not pay Its apeCie Con tracts in legal tenders, without the act oi repudiation; neither could an individual, and Judge Sharswood stands vindicator by a Black Republican Legislature. ConUaclsaro as binding upon individu als as upon corporations and governmuts. . If individuals can repudiate a contract by the act of Congress making paper a le gal’ tender, then the (Secretary «f the Treasury of the United States has no right to pay government bond-holders in specie; because Congress, notwithstand ing the contract, has made greenbacks a legal tender. That which is right for one is right for all. If Hharswood’s opinion is wrong, then government contracts, like all oth ers, are mere Black Republican moon shine and greenbacks everything. Judge Shorswood’s opinion is honored by the Secretary of the Treasury of the U. S., who regards 'contracts os ‘binding. It was acknowledged by our State Legis lature when it passed the act of repudia tion. And it is opposed now by the repu diates of Pittsburg bonds, rogues and swindlers generally.— Jeffersonian: <tncstlons for Henry. W. Williams, (lie nadir'll Candidate Tor Supremo ■ .
