Ittaunit AtiVErtiut!. Wll/71 DEMOCRATIC in4xot* MHZ TO LEAD, WZ OWE T'O'iOLLOW." WM . Br: ERESTPE, Editor and Proprietor LE ANON, P.A. WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 2884 86" The U. S. House of itePreSen tativei passed an enormous •tailsill last week. The details' - . lire not yet published. It goes to the - Senate where no doubt many- akerations Will be made. . or The Reading Gazette, one it)f the best Democratic papers in' the country, has been restored to its old size. The price has:been increased to $2, all of which it is worth, and more too. Irr The Courier is' urging 'upon Congress the necessity of imposing heavier taxes. It says "The masses of the people would unquestionably be benefitted by Con gress imposing heavier taxes." That is not upon the principle of its master, who says, "it is easier to pay a large debt than a • larger one."— 'But we say have patience a little ; taxes will be heavy enough by and by. SHARKS AFTER PREY ev ery third person of the Abolition par ty is 'now an Office holder of some kind, and although Congress is mul :tiplying offices daily, yet the raven ous crew is not satisfied. We now find a proposition before Congress to take another census in 1865. Here tofore it has been taken every 10 years. They were out of power when the last was taken, and they know that they will also be when the next should be taken, so on- tlie' hope of another term for Old 'Abe, they want to have it taken every five years, so - as to give employment to several thousand "loyalists" who are too cow ardly to go in the army, but who nev ertheless must be paid for sticking to ;the party. Of course, "the people would be benefitted by heavier tax es," as the Courier says. By the peo ple are meant the office holders, not those who have the taXestopy. Beer The 'Courier says, in - gpeaking ,of the outrage upnn Mr. - Atiller, if it were disposed to' be '-tetifitir, it might declare that ; he violation of law [how mild its terms arej was incit, led' by them (the Democrats) against - a Republican. Exactly; its a wonder it did not, but who the deuco would believe : it? Not the editor himself. FAT FEES.—Lincoln's U. S. Mar ' shall for thdDistriet of Columbia, ro ' eeived Fees -last year amounting to $14,280, and his' perquisites to about $41,000. No wonder the Courier is •in favor of "heavier taxes," when one man receives such enormous pay. How long would it take a farmer of Lebanon eOunt7y,•who- is expected to pay the "heavier taxes," to make $55,000? Bat a "loyal" man gob ;ides up that sum in a few days l•—• -High times for Lincoln's office hold ers are these ! • Curious Incident at a Launch.—A Cincinnati paper thus reports an in vcident at the launch of the iron-clad 'Catawba in that city : At the foot of BUtler street a great crowd was gath ered and though those standing near the .voter's edge were repeatedly or dered away, they returned whenever the policemen were-Balled elsewhere. At the moment the 'vessel was fully - in the water an immense lfaVe , rolled ihoreward, instantly submerging - ohe, =or two hundred people, and carrying , :many of them off their feet. As it ':retreated, a 'sight at once ludicrous :and terrifying was presented. • Worn -an and children were crawling up the - muddy bank, wildly clutching at each =other's heels ; men were floundering on their backs, and one individual, his hat carried off by the undertow, was frantically hugging a log, alter --nately floating and burrowing in the , mud, as the surf advanced and receded. Fortunately the first wave was the largest and most sudden, and all the -bathers against their will gerainbled .out of danger. One bedraggled in ,dividual said be "didn't care a Pin 'for the wetting, but he didn't like to links the show.' Ile disappeared in to h - nOglaboring.bar-room, and prob ably launched a little Catawba on ...his own account into a region where there was no danger of its displacing - au overwhelming bulk of water. EVERYBODY FOR LINCOLN:--it is a musing to see accounts of little office holders and official pap suckets, too lazy or intemperate to obtain liv ing by honest labor, endorsing Lin - coln and spouting much patriotism , on street corners. Their intense love .of the President as so earnestly exhibi ted reminds us of a little story, as Old Abe says. • A man was riding through a rough and ruin-marked country one day, when he saw a half-starved, lazy, 'drunken, long-fingered cuss, diggi ng like a dog at a, hole in a bank, says he "Halloa ! what are you up to stranger ?" "Me; t'se digging out a ,wood ,Ohnek-1" ."Do yOtt , exTrect to catch him 7" 'im ? Great Goa ! Jim Lane says) "There is no exretzabout it ! It's woodohu6k o stumition. for there ain't enough meat in ihu house to smell after it's spoilt,-and I'm busted at all the groceries:" How the Courier incites to Mob violence and encouraged rail-riding.— In the Lebanon Courier of April 7, we find the following editorial. 'para graph. It does net deptdVate the outrage _it - affnotiri des, but `indirectly - eniloiseS it. • It urges upon the "I.)rud ders" to 'rush - to the rescue. On tlondaY a week the "brudders"of the Couri6 had a chance to l‘rtigh'to the ' - rescue." They 'did not do it. Why, oh why ? It must have been 'a' de lightful scene to the Coiirier'to see its preaching practised. Didn't the edi tor shake in his 600ts•fro t rn delight.— It was so near home. We might mention, howeYer, that the paragraph iublishedl n'the - oburier - Fg a falsehood. Huber waalibt.rode on a rail. But every ob'S6rVant - reader will of course see that the' design is that he , should be. The article is the decoy rom the Courier. - "PERsoNAL.--Huber on a Rail.—We learn - from the Reading Journal that `the mit:n' Haber, who last summer was so bilsy in this county initiating the green ones into the order of Barn Sneakers and Knights of the Golden Circle, was treated to a ride on a . rail, at Reamstown, on Monday Of • Tast week, by some veteran soldier at that }Ace. This intelligeriee will no doubt occasion ran immense overflow of indignation amonethe - "Milders" of this vicinity, who recognize _Huber as their high" priest and loader; and as' such indignation' is dangerous to indvidlials' when kept pent up, we 'wouid 'Suggest that it be let out through a public meeting to be ad dressed by the distinguished local ora tors who last summer co operated in this county with the distinguished Huber. W hatsay all the "brudders 7'.' Will they keep silent when.'thir great Mogul is "riding on dfail7" \ Arouse, awake, shake • the tigw . drops from your garmelits; -4 Brudder Barnsneatt ers," and`marcn forth to the rescue of ydtir gallant Huber I" TWO ABOLITION NATIONAL CONVENTIONS, An Abolition National Convention is to be held at Cleveland, the latter , part of May, at which it is supposed General Fremont will be nominated for President. The radical German element of Wisconsin, lowa, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio will be there in strength to give countenance to the movement. Another Convention will beheld at Baltimore, in June, which will be composed of Provost Marshals, Pest- Masters, Shoddy '.Contractors and Oflipe•lldtd6i.s - in 'general, who riill nonfinite Abraham Lincoln !-- "Behold. how _pleasant a tbing , it is fell. brethren ;.to in ilinty I" Here we have - a nice little fight be tween those gentlemen . '"Who have cried out for only "one party !" There is a wide and widening breach in the ranks of the so-called Union party—a party not in favor of., the old Union, but a new one—which gives promise that the reign of Shod dy Contractors and Stnutty Jokers will conic to'ra'nenci on the Fourth of March, A. .0.18 - 65. So ratite it be The Tariff Bill Approved.—The President yesterday signed the joint resolution increasing the rate of duty on foreign imports •fifty .per cent.— The Chairman 'of the Committee of Ways- and liteats, 4.1 r. Stevens, Who introduced vtikie resolution, sayi law does ` •uot apply to Xdbds in bond. 'he Whisky Tax.—A, statement is made that Mr. Washburne's amend ment to the tax bill, taxing the stocks of whisky on hand, cannot be enforc ed, as there is no 'machinery for its enforcement. The bill, however, provides in one of its sections that the Secretary Of the Treasury shall have.po*er to ob r ilect.any tax-impos ed by the bill, sea te'priliiiiiielhe Ma chinery if it be lacking. THE SWORD 'FARCE, Most of our'readers ate aware. that at the NeAiv York Sanitary 'Fair, which closdillast Saturday, an office was opened'whdre persons 'who desir ed, byrfifYing one dollar, could vote for any `General they prefdired to have the magnificent sword, on exhi bition, the One getting'ihe most votes to be the fortunate possessor of the beautiful weapon. The contest at once narrowed down to Generals me- Clellan and Grant, the former leading in the contest to si/e,h an extent that the shoddyites began to fear that the man they bete so intensely would carry off the prize, so they were forced to resort to a mean dirty trick to defeat the voice of the people. So, ''dn Friday Mit "thdy 'announced that the IFicilts would close on - Satur day ht 2 o'clock, but that .`seeret bal lots "would be received until 8 o'clock that evening. This was so plain an intention 'to 'cheat that 'the 'dullest could not fail 'to understand it, and all interest in the previous friendly contest was lost. At 2 o'clock Mc- Clellan was 2,256 ahead, yet when the result was announced at 8 o'clock Grant was 15,782 ahead. Whether the "Secret Service Fund" paid for these tickets, or whether they were paid filr let all, is a matter `4:if 'no - con . salami - cc, The trick was 'too 'shabby for honoimble men to'countenance.— MeCiellan is the favorite with the people, and no such mean acts can change their sentiments. THE REMOVAL QUESTION.—The ef fort to remove the State Capital from Harrisburg to Philadelphia has failed. In the Senate on Tuesday, a resolu, tion appropriating 00,000 towards the erecton of new wings to the prey• ent capital was adopted. We may add, in this*connection that the com mittee appointed to purchase a man sion for the Govenor, have concluded an arrangement with Mrs. Coverly, for her elegant mansion on Front Street. The State given Mrs. Cover-- 1y the present Executive mansion on Second street, and the city of Harris burg pays her the sum of twenty thousand dqllars. , PRIZE FIGHTERS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. In England, it the Lewis Court of Quarter Sessions, on the 4th of April, Thornas :King, John C. 'Heenan, Thoinas • 'Sayers, ;John Relic t'Txavere, 'Henry .N dim, and Bostwick Tyler were indicted for breaking the peace in'the county, by being engaged the prize fight which took' place 'near Wad ham Rail road station, a few months since. All the prisoders, except James. Mace and'Robert Travers, pleaded guilty, and no evidence being offered by the prosecutors in their case, they were acquitted. King, Heenan and the other pugilists were bound over:in the sum of five hundred dollars to keep the peace toward all her Majes ty's subjects for the period of' tOielve months. TWELVE APOSTLES, OR TIJIRTEEN ? —A peculiar pl'Oed'ss is At _present pending .before the boUrt of Appeals at - Culogbe. The decision entirely depends on tbe answer `to' the ,queii tion whether there are twelve or thir teen Apostles. A fariner.lif the vi cinity of Mulheim, on the Rhine, has the right - by the.termsbf an, ancient leb:se to l'et 'the waters 'Of a neighbor ing stream overflow his .meadows on all Apostle's days.

BOILER XPLOSION.—On Monday morning last, about 8 o'clock, one of the boilers hi the extensive lamp and chandelier manftfatttery Cornelius & Baker, on' Cherry street, Philadelphia, exploded, killing five and seriously injuring nineteen per sona. The building was five stories higb, and occupied three sides of a square lot. The boilers and engine occupied a one-Story bbilding on the north 'side of the quadrangle. At tlic time of the explosidn'tbere about 600 workmen - in'tito &nettlin g .. A - five story brick ehininey - attiiched to the building was entirely destroy ed, and all the windows, several` bun. dred in number, were &via 6r less damaged. One part of the boiler, weighing about a ton, was thrown a clistanio of four squares, fallinron a house, No. 1121 Cherry street, occu pied as ti," bottlers shop, and killing a man who was engaged in loading a wagon. The other part of the boiler, about 18 feet long, waiethroven over the factory in a soiatheity direction, landing upon a rati'ge 'of stables - in the rear of tho Wm. Tenn Hotel ; on Market street, killing a horse and in - - juring Mr. Lewisaohinsou, a drover from Carlisle. The cause of 'the ex plosion is not known. The boiler= had been used fdr aiSbut three'yetirs,' but was considered safe havifiebeen overhauled and inspected - a. 'few days before.

Gen.!Gilindre 'it neces bary to publicly censure the officers at Hilton head' for 'undue familiarity' with negroes.—Since the Republican party has endorsed miscegenation as a party measure, it is thought that General Gilmore ought to retract his censures of 'the officers for practicing it at Hilton'Head. . 4 The Liezirenant-fleneral'arid Gener als.:llfeClellan and Trentent.-1t has transpired that when Lieutenaiit-Gen erarGrant •hatiMed'ealamand of the armies of "the 'Union, 'be - rePiesented to 'the President . that in view of the magnitude of the trust imposed upon him, he felt it incumbent upon him to fortify lihnself by all the means in his power, and in particular he needed the moral support which the employ ment of Generals McClellan and Fre mont, representing two great phases of public opinion, would give. He therefore destred.permisson to assign them to duty. This was refused on a trifling pretaiet as respects FremOrt, but peremptorily, as to General Mc- Cleltan-.

This has, not work id satisfactorily ;. and General Grant is understood to have admitted, while 'satisfied with the number and material of his army, he is uneasy re specting the morale. He returned to Washington on Monday, therefore, with a peremptory demand for the services of General McClellan in the forthcoming campaign, and refintes to move the army until his demands are complied with. He is also very urgent that General Fremont be as signed to duty..

The Cotaseittee on "Labor, Incomee and Rev enues," invite cooperation with them in the par ticular work for which they have been apphint. ed. As, no .portion of the people are more patri otic than the working men,und women of the country, .it is but just and proper that they ShOald alike have en opportunity to contribute' to the °Weeds of the Fair. The most equable plan for accomplishing this, and, at the same time the easiest one, is to ask for the contribution of a single day's Labor from all elasses in the cote triunity. Many will contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their money. To reach every department of industry and art w ill be, a wotk of great labor, but, if at gained; will be productive of immense - results. The success of the plan will depend upon the . hearty eemperation of every. elemeet of influence within our limits, and we invite all the guardi ans of the industrial interests, and all others, to take bold with us in furthering this great work of patriotism and humanity. The Committee is charged with the following duty, to w it : . .

In the manufacturing counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the agricultural districts, —espeeially, let there be organizations in the large towns, so that the young people may have en opportunity thus to render assistance to their relatives and friends fighting the battles of their country in the armies of the nation. .
