Radical gains. On tills basis what docs the Herald think Grant’s majority will ho in No vember? If 11 the changes iu theso re cent elections”—ns well as hist year’s Democratic triumph in New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware) Maryland, Ohio, and California, don’t squint most decidedly to a “ Democrat ic triumph in November,” we should liko to know which way they do point. It is a very common argument for the j Radical speakers and journals to use, that the laboring man pays no taxes.— There never was a greater fallacy in tlnancos, unless it be the heresy that “ a national debt is a national blessing.” Labor pays tho great bulk of our taxes and in so much as wo cripple the pro ductivcncss of labor we lessen the re sources of the nation. It is all very well to tell the laboring man that he pays no taxes, "but when he goes to tho store to lay in a supply of necessary ar ticles for his family, and finds tho price of every yard of callico and muslin, and every pound of tea, coffee and sugar, increased one or two hundred percent., ho is very apt to come to the conclusion that ho has to pay his own taxes and | tin- rich man’s too, and in this opinion lu* is not very far from right. He may be no adept in finances, but ho ha* in tellect enough to perceive that while for four days’ work in ISBO he could buy a barrel of good Hour; for an equally -rood barrel he now has to work eight days. He Jcnows that for one day’.- work in ISGO he could buy five pounds ol tea, and for tho same day’s work now he can only buy two pounds, lie knows that for one day’s work then , he could buy thirty pounds of sugar, 1 and now for tho same labor lie can only i cam fifteen pounds. He does not need to be told that for a clay’s work, eight years ago, ho could buy eight pounds of lobairo, and now can only got three pound*, lie has already found out that he can only got live pounds of coffee for tlie labor that used to purchase fifteen pounds. His own bitter experience has already taught him that while in 18(10 he could clothe himself and family for one year on the proceeds of one month’s work, it now requires thosrict ost economy to enable him to do so at 1 all. You may talk to liim as you will, I but ho knows that he pays taxes upon 1 the hat on his head and the boots on ; Ids feet, upon the clothes upon his por- I son, tho coal that ho burns, the stove | that ho burns it in and the match that Iho lights the tiro with. Radical orators I expend their eloquence in vain when 1 they seek to close ids eyes to these facts, for the resistless eloquence of grinding poverty is unanswerable. Now let us sec just where the trouble is. Last year an import duty of $32,- (inn,ooo in gold was levied upon sugar and molasses alone. The real value of lids sugar and molasses was not quit® $•*>0,000,000, so that the tariff duties amounted to three-fourths as much aa the actual value; in other words the tariff qlmost doubled the price of the arti •!(■ jo the eon.-umer. On tea a duty of thirty live per cent, in gold was lev ied. From this source alone $8,000,000 were derived, and from coffee $8,000,- 000, so that from these* throe necessaries ol life the enormous Mini of nearly $'n).000,000 was obtained by the tax gatherers. When it. is remembered that arlicb-s arc mainly consumed hy the ina-'-'Cs. it not very hard to see who pay the biL r t‘ii(l ef the ! Min ] ( . ns ~f the country, and win ; te purchase of Migar, tea and cefice alone runs a wav' u itb half a poor man’s income. Here is a statement, taken from ofli cial source*, of the operation of the tar iff in bsoG < 'hmnttflii. Vahtc ii i/houl VWi/T Anil o You I.lko it? When Democrats wore iti power flour was live dollars per barrel, under the Radical rule it is $l2 to $l6. Thou you received from $1.29 to SI .30 per day for your labor—worth $1.25 and $1.60. Now you get $2.00 a day, worth 51.20. Then taxes were assessed on all property, ac cording to the value, now tho most valu able property is exempt from taxation, and the poor man is taxed on all he eats, drinks and wears'—tho bondholder pays no taxes. Tho man who has $lOO,OOO In bonds, which pay him six per cent, in terest in gold, don’t pay as much taxes as the soldier’s widow who owns a hum ble cottage. When you go to the store and buy a pound ol tea, you pay five cents per pound to keep a standing army in the South—ton cents per pound to keep up the Frcedmen’s Bureau, that lazy ne groes shall bo fed and clothed at your expense, and ten cents per pound to pay tho bondholder the interest in gold on his bonds. Laboring men think of this when you go to tho polls in October. AKOTIIIiIt lIIIGLE NOTE FROM the: west z Colorado Rebukes Recreant New £u {gland Denver, Sept. 11.—All over our Territory the Democratic blast has swept.

THE IIOWXi OF DESPAIR. The following from that abolition con cern the New York Independent, shows, from their own standpoint, how desper ate is their chance for Grant and Colfax. We pulish it to give encouragement to our friends. They cannot help but throw down their cause in “cowardly despair,” when even Greeley gives them so little consolation. Hence keep mov ing ahead, friends, do not break ranks, but keep marching in solid columns.— We have them on the hip—Jet us keep them: The Danger of Grant’s Defeat—How to Avert it—By Horace Oreely.— Our friends seem to be almost everywhere resting in the conviction that General Grant cannot possibly he beaten. This is at once untrue and perilous. He not only can, but will be beaten, unless the Republicans use more energy and effi ciency than they have thus far done. Indiana is the only doubtful State which seems to be contested by them with adequate zeal and energy. I trust that Ohio cannot be lost: but, if there be no revival on our side, ttie ballot-boxes will close on the night of the October State election with at least 10,000 more Republican than Democratic votes im pelled. Perhaps we can stand that dis parity, and perhaps not. It is not safe to take the risk. So of Pennsylvania. We were heavi ly cheated there last October; we are likely to be worse cheated now. Her election laws are tolerably good; but the judges in strong Democratic dis tricts sot them at defiance taking all the votes that are offered—especially the had ones. They will cheat us at least ’P-’, 0 . 0 ?, 1 ' 1 outober - Wo can beat them still if every Republican rote is polled. But will they be ? Will Allegheny give her 10,000, Lancaster her 0,000, and oth ers in proportion ? Will Berks, North ampton, Monroe, Columbia, Ac give no more than their legal majority against us? I hope but fear. Now let us suppose that the enemies of human rignts should—no matter by what means—carry Pennsylvania and Ohio m October, winning likewise some local triumphs in other States; what then ? Shall wo not see the very men who now shirk effort, on the plea that Grant cannot ho beaten, lying down in inaction because (they will say) ho is already beaten, and canuot possibly be elected? How swift will be their transi tion from blind presumption to coward ly despair! Tlie States are entitled to choose 317 electors, whereof 139 are a majority.— There should bo no doubt of Gononal Grant carrying at least these: Maine 7, New Hampshire 5, Massa chusetts 12, Rhode Island 4, Vermont 5, West Virginia 5, Ohio 21, Indiana 13, Illinois 16, Louisiana 0, Michigan 8, Wisconsin 8, Minnesota 4, lowa 8, Mis souri 11, Kansas 3, Tennessee 10, North Carolina 9, South Carolina 4.-—Total 159. Hero are just votes enough to elect, with regard to which there should be no doubt. But Ohio and West Virgin ia are desperately contested; and, while we have the most voters in each, our adversaries seem for the present to have the best workers. And while Wade Hampton boldly proclaims that every black who works for a “ Demo crat!” must give his vote to Seymour and Blair or be deprived of work, bread, or home, how can we feel sure that any rebel State will vote for Grant? We know well that thirty thousand of the legal voters of South Carolina will hope and pray that Grant may be elected; but twenty thousand of these may be constrained to vote for Seymour or not vote at all. So of other rebel States. We cannot rely on one of them till the votes shall have been pol led and the result declared. Men and Brethren 1 We must carrv Connecticut, New York, New Jersey ?, n ,i, P f, nns y lvnia for Grant and Colfax. With these—or oven halfof them—tb ere can be no mistake as to the resu'd Without at least two of them all is in doubt. We can carry every one of them, possibly New Jersey, if we be gin at once and resolutely try. Why A Change Is Needed The National debt Is now twenty-six hundred millions of dollars. Le e surren dered on the 9th day of AprU, 1805 : the National dobton that day was twenty three hundred and sixty-seven millions In three years of peace the debt has increased two hundred and. thirty-three millions. The people have paid into the Treasu ry In those three years, fifteen hundred and twenty millions. In 1865, $561 572 - 000: in 1860, $190,034,000, and in 1807 $471,700,000. The official statements show that in the last two months the debt has increas ed $13,238,503. All of this money came from the earn ings of the people, and should have been applied to paying the debt; for it is a mortgage upon all of our property and. encumbers and oppresses us .in our busi ness. Every article that enters into our dai ly ueo and consumption Is taxed to raise this money. The poor man’s tea pays twenty-five cents in gold; his sugar, four cents; his coflee, five cents; the leather out of which his shoes are made the matches with which helights his fire’ the shovel, the pick, the plow uud the harrow, all bear their share of these tax es, and all these increase the cost of liv ing. This system of taxation is more severe on the poor man than tho rich for the necessities of a man (and not his proper ty) are taxed, so that a poor man with a family of six, pays three times as much tax ns tho rich man with a family of two In the year ending Juno 30, 1808, four hundred and seventy millions of dollars were taken from the comforts and neces sities of the daily lives of the people, and were put into the Treasury of the nation. There are thirty millions of people in the Union, and this is more than four teen dollars for each man. woman and child. This is mainly paid injbuying what we eat, drink and wear. About eight days work are now requir ed from the laboring man to buy a barrel of flour, while in 1860 four days work would buy as good a one. One day’s work now will only buy five pounds 4 of coffee, while in 1860 it would buy twelve pounds. The farmer, the mechanic and the merchant, find their profits all spent in the increased cost of living ; in the largo taxes imposed for State, county, munici pal and city purposes; in tho increased . coat of tools, of clothfog, of labor hired, and of taxes upon income, and they have nothing loft. Increase of the debt means increased hours of labor, increased taxes, and in creased privations to tho mass of the peo ple. The Radicals have toasted your money and ought to be turned out. Tlie reconstruction of the South, with the negro above the white man, prevent* prosperity there. The enormous (axes we.pay go to maintain the army and tlu* Freedmcn's Bureau in tho South for this purpose. Instead of us paying over 100 millions each year to do this, the South ought to be put lo work to earn 200 mill ions to help us to pay the debt ami the taxes. Tube away the army and the Bureau and give (he white man an (joad a chance an the negro, and it will he done. They cannot buy our iron, cotton and woolen manufactures as long as we per sist in keeping them poor. Put them lo work to develop their resources, and al low them to aid In governing themselves*, ami tvo will relievo ourselves from a previous burthen. The Radicals have jmt the negro above the while man and ought lo beturuedout. The goor man who owns a bouse and lot, has no right to be taxed to protect the properly and educate tho children of the rich man who pays none, because his property is all in United States Bonds. The Radicals made this system, and defend it, and they ought to be turned out. 3L o c a I items CST* While some of our young ladies take to tho “Grecian bend,” many of our young men prefer the Ameri can “bender.” The Comet.—Any person who has a telescope that will enable him to see one hundred and thirteen million miles, can observe Encke’s comet in the East about two hours before sun rise. Bivalvular.— Oysters are again in favor and richly flavored, this being the month with “r” in it. Restaurant keepers are looking for flush times, and oyster dealers an increase of orders. The Season, —The foliage of the trees is already beginning to turn to russet and crimson and gold, and “ the mel ancholly days, the saddest of the year” are rapidly hastening on, when the sea sons all go into winter quarters. Installation.— On Sunday last, Rev. Dr. Joel Swartz was installed as pastor of the First Lutheran Church of this place. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr, Martin and the ceremony of installation read by Rev. Mr. Titus. Announcement. —-Wo have the posi tive assurance that Hon. B. S. Tharin, one of the most eloquent and effective advocates of the Democratic cause, will speak in Carlisle, on Tuesday evening, September 29th. Death op an Aged Lady.— On Sun day 13th Inst. Mrs. Mary Domes died in this place, at the ripe old age of one hundred and one years and eight months. She was a native of Lancas ter city, and removed to this place a number of years ago. So far as wo are able to learn, she leaves no, relatives. Valuable Peopekty coit Sale.—. Wo would call attention to the adver tisement, in another column, of the Exr’s of Daniel Wonderly deo’d., offer ing that fine farm on the bank of Yol- Jow-Brecches in Dickinson for sale on Thursday 2-lth inst. Sowing.—Our farmers are as busy putting out their fall crops as tho weath er will permit. Some two weeks back, the weather was too dry and tho ground too hard to plow. Now it is too wet, but taking it all in all, the weather has been very favorable for farmers, with probably more working days than gen erally fall to their lot at this season. 1 Off fob tub West.— The senior ed itor of this paper picked up his “ car pet bag” on Friday last, and started for the West. Ho goes to Omaha city di rect, whoro ho intends to stop for a few days, and then, should his health per mit, proceed on to the Rocky Moun tains. His many friends, we feel sure, join with us in wishing him a pleasant trip and safe return. The Assessment Lists.— The assess ors for this borough have completed their lists, and it now becomes necessa ry for our political friends to examine them, and if their names and the names of their, friends be not there, to then see that they are assessed at once. Let the interested examine the lists and see that they are properly assessed. New National Currency.— I Tho new fractional currency of tho denomi nation of fifteen cents has made its ap pearance. It is an improvement, as re gards quality, upon any preceding is sue. Likenesses of Grant and Sherman are on the right and on the left ends The back of tho currency is red, which gives tho face a slight tinge of the same color. Tub Cumberland Co. Agricultur al Society will open its Eleventh Annual Exhibition, at Carlisle, on Wednesday, October 14th, and continue three days. There will be, among many other attractions, a fullthirdmiletrack, in excellent condition ; and a premium offered of one hundred dollars for tho best trotter—open to the world. Sum total of premiums offered exceed twen ty-five hundred dollars. A walking match will come off on Thursday, Oct. 15, open to all. Premium $5O. The Bridge at Columbia.—The Columbia Telegram says that the build ing of tho bridge across the Susquehan na river at that borough continues to progress finely. The two iron spans in the centre of the bridge are completed, as are also two of the wooden ones be yond. There are twelve spans from the iron ones to tho Columbia bank and fifteen to tho Wrightsville shore, ma king twenty-nine in all; with thirteen yet to put up. Indications are favora ble for its completion at tho stated time —Jan- 1 1809—when trains and teams will undoubtedly be crossing. Theatre Coming.— The lovers of the histrionic art will bo delighted to loam that Sherry’s New York Theatre, with a talented and brilliant stock com pany, will open in this place on Thurs day next. Sherry always draws crowd ed houses here, and as he only remains three days this trip, all will have to avail themselves of the opportunity to hear the troupe during the week. Instant Relief. —Dr. Rendall, tho celebrated corn Doctor from London, may be found until Friday evening, at the Franklin House. He removes corns without pain or loss of blood, and has hundreds of certificates from parties well known in this country and in Eu rope. The doubting may bo convinced by the following: Carlisle, Pa, Sep. J 5,1868. Dr. Rendall removes corns literally as he states,, without pain or loas of blood. J. 11. BOHBR, Elliott’s Store. Carlisle. Sep. 10, 1808. Dr. Rendall has this day extracted a coni for mo without the slightest pain. J. B. HAVERSTICK, Druggist. Da College .—lt will boa mailer of no little satisfaction to ttic friends of Da Fayette College, at Eas ton, in tins slate, to know that the fall term opened with an accessionid’seven lyor eighty new students, in addition to the one hundred and forty whose names appeared on tho catalogue.— With an endowment of four hundred thousand dollars, buildings superior to those of any college in Pennsylvania, and a faculty of thirteen Professors, it must soon fake its place amongst the first Institutions of learning in the country. tssi~ Rev. Robert Ij. Dashiel, D. D.,is elected unanimously to the position of President of Dickinson College. Dr. Dashiel is a member oftlio Newark Con ference, in New Jersey, and was for merly a member of the Baltimore Con ference. He graduated at Dickinson, sharing- the honors of Ins class, in 18-1(1; and received fhe degree of D. D.,from Bulgers (Dutch Reform) College at New Brunswick, N. J., and also from Wes leyan University, Middletown Conn., Dr. Dashiel is reported as one of tin? most able and eloquent ministers of his church. Painful. Accident. —One day last week, Mr. William Hall, a workman employed at Seidle’s Spoke Factory met with a most painful accident while trying to fasten a staple in a stone with melted lead. The hole had been drilled in the stone some time previous, and it is supposed some water or moisture had accumulated in it, as when (Mr. Hall commenced pouring the lead into it, it flew out again with great violence, stri king Mr. H., who was bending over it, in the face and eyes. For a time it was feared that ho would lose his sight, but Dr. Day having removed all the par ticles of lead from his eyes, he is now in a fair way of recovery, though one of them is still very painful, and will doubtless continue so for some time. — Hcchania bury Journal, Hints on buying Goad. —An ex change says that these cool mornings and evenings are very suggestive of Arcs and fall clothing, and that now is the time for provident house keepers to fill up their coal bins, while prices are yet reasonable. Xu buying coal two facts should be remembered. The first fact is that the nearer the approach of a square fracture, or the cubical shape of the lump, the better is the coal; slaty coal shelves oif in slabs and irregular pieces. Fact second, is that the text ure of the coal should bo smooth and glossy. Of course to test this the lump should have the clinging dust and dirt taken off, if after doing this the surface docs not rub off on the hand it is a fa vorable sign. An observance of these two facts by our readers, when they purchase coal, will save them from the annoyance occasioned by the almost daily cleaning of the grate incident to using inferior and ,-laty coal. Not Bad.— “ Lu::.aro Hour” of the Star of the Valley perpetrates the.follow ing which is too good to be lost: Many years ago when Squire Neap was a resi dent of the house now occupied hy Mrs. Sharp on East Main street, a couple walked in from iMifilin township to enlist his services in making them one flesh. Squire received them at the door and upon learning their business, invit ed them in. At the dobr of the parlor they halted, eying suspiciously the car pet which covered the floor, a house hold chattel which neither of them had over seen. On being pressed, however, they stepped in, cautiously walking on a strip of bare floor next the wall whiclp the carpet was too short to cover.— “Please stand out in the middle of the room,” said the squire. Still they hesi tated. “ Why don’t you come?” said the magistrate. “Oh I wo dosh not liketotirty your plankets!” said the' modest groom. Upon being assured that the, plankets” had been laid there to bo walked upon, the happy Teutons stepped bodly forth and were soon pro nounced man and wife. “ Salute your bride 1” was the request of the Justice in compliance with the usages of the day. The bride and groom looked at each other in complete bewilderment. “ Kiss your bride,” said the Squire, perceiving that he was not understood. “Oh!” said the happy groom, bright ening with new born intelligence, “ tish net wot wile, Squire! Wo doo it a kooplo o’ times comm owor!” It is needless to add that the “ Squire” did not insist and the loving couple depart ed as thoroughly married as though they had complied with all the regula tions. No doubt some of their descen dants reside in Mifflin township to this day. snvvnr.r awake. Newvii/le, September 14, XSCB. Editor Volunteer: Dear Sir : I write to give you nu ac count of the large and enthusiastic Meeting held in Literary Hall, on Sat urday evening, Sept. 12, which was addressed by Mr. Maglaughlin , and Mr. Emig, of Carlisle; in an able, eloquent and masterly manner, striking home to the hearts of Republicans the funda mental truths of the time honored prin ciples of the Democratic party. As these are times of such imminent peril to American institutions, it behooves Democrats every where to be earnest and determined in the present contest. So yon may expect to hear in thunderin'* towers from the Newville District in October next. The meeting on Satur day evening pext, Sept. 19, will be addressed by Mr. Newsham and Mr. Cornman, of Carlisle. J. S.
