And yet Mr. Jordan, in his luto ad

speaking of tho lust Democratic Na

of that Convention was, "for the pur

frequently shocked by hearing cheers,
that they havo been compolled to
issuo an order impressing "the dis
loyal practice of cheering" in thnt
portion of Gen. Schoficld' dominions,
especially if given by "white trash."
It appears that General Loo is in tho
habit of occasionally taking a riJ
through that portion of tho King's
dominions in order to get the Collego
dust brushed from hi blouse; and in
passing through the village and by
farm house he is lustily cheered by
old and young whenever recocnired.
This grated so harshly on tho ear of
the buroauitcs, that they wero com
pelled to issue their proclamation
gainst it. We understand that the
order has effectually stopped "holler
ing and tho stamping of feet" in that
locality. Tho "socobh," not to bo
defeated in tho practico of their dis
loyal habits, have changed their base,
and instead of "hollering" when Gen.

We have this statement from Goo. W.
Bruekman, ICsq., the County Commis
sioners' Clerk, ami from Isaac R. Fish
er, Esq., Comity Treasurer. As theso
officer ore awaro of no law iu the
State that authorizes tho lovy of extra
taxes upon tho several counties, it is
evident that this demuud is nothing
less muii a buro-laccu: attempt to make
up a deficiency in the revenues of the
Commonwealth, by a swindle upon
the tax payers.
In IStiG, a law was passed relieving
real estate from taxation for State pur
poses, and tho Radical party mado a
great boast about it during tho lust
election canvass. They claimed the
credit of taking a heavy burden from
the shoulders of the tax payers of tho
State; and last wintor an effort was
even made to abolish the tax on per
sonul proporty, by apportioning cor
tain amounts to tho sovoral counties,
which they might raise in whatever
way they saw fit. This measure did
not become a law, however ; the State
Treasurer himself having serious
doubts ss to its iiracticability.
Tho law and the practice have been,
ana now aro, lor the iioard ol Reve
nue Commissioners to assess a certain
amount of tax upon each of tho coun
ties, which assessment is bawd upon
tho return made by tho Commission
ers of tho several counties, giving the
valuation of tho personal property as
sessed. On tho Hth of June, ((!, a
circular was sent to the Commission
er of Berks county, staling what
amount would be required of this
county for that yoar.to wit: 8,(123 03.
This was paid punctually, and the re
ceipt is in the hands of the Treasurer.
The assessment for 167 was received
in the same way, and wn3 paid by tho
Treasurer.
But on tho 4th of July last, the com
munication above referred to. was re
ceived from Uie Auditor (icucrnl, claim
ing that Borks county was owing the
Stute 15,434 bi for the last year, and
tho fame amount for this year ; mak
ing an aggregate of tlfisitfOH. It
would api.ear, thorofore, that whilo
the "shoddy loyalists" havo been de
luding tho pooplo with tho idea that
they are reducing tho taxes, they aro
really engaged in a aocrct attempt to
cover up tho deficiency that their mis
ninnngfmont of tho Stato finances has
caused, by an illegal assessment upon
the tax payers.
Vie are pleased to learn that our
Commissioners are not disposed to
comply with this unheard of demand
for additional taxes after tho county
has faithfully and fully settled her in
debtedness to the Stato. This claim
may bo ull right, according to Geary ;
but it is an infamous extortion, and a
big swindlo, according to our appro-
neoBion oi mo case, now long will
tho pooplo of Pennsylvania submit to
such gross decoption and downright
robbery f
The Commissioners had laid their
taxc according to the assessment
sent from Harrisburg. They wero
collected in the usual manner, and paid
over to tho Stuto by our Treasurer.!
If this additional "shoddy tax" is to
be paid now, a new assessment must
be made for tho county, and all tho ex
penses of collection must be added to
it. At this rato, tho officials at Har
risburg could come upon ns cvory two
or three years, with a trumped np
claim of .arrearages. We bono our
citizens, without distinction of party,
will give this matter duo considera
tion, for, as tax-payers, it concorns
them all. Tho County Treasurer has
the documents, notices, receipts, etc.,
in ins nanus, to convmco every sensi
ble mnn that this whole affair is a con
temptible attempt to "raise tho wind"
by a financial trick that doservo no
better name than swindling. lead
ing Gazette
Wo have not learned whether the
shoddy patriots at Harrisburg havo
mado tlio snmo raid upon our county
or not, but we presumo that every
"Copperhead" county will be called
npnn to pay this loyal dividend, which
is nothing more' nor less than Stale
robbery.
