WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1864.
0 EXPENSES.
The daily otrenditures of the Gov
•rnment are att 'present estimated by
IL!. Chase to be 11.4,000,000 per day,
in face he says thif that sum "will
kardly be auffiCient." Tully $5,000,
' 'ooo per day would be nearer the act
ual sum. Is it any wonder, that,
with our thousands slain daily, and
cur substance consumed at such an
awful rate, for purposes almost en
tirely at variance with its original
announcements, that the people are
becoming tired of this state of affairs,
and rapidly concentrating their hearts
- and minds for a change of adminis
lration and policy ?

1864, as a reference 'to the .proceed.

se. It is announced froth Wash
ington, by =abolition correspondents,
that •the war 'cannot be ended this
year; that it - May Continue a year or
two longer—cortaioly'till the summer
of 1865,—honce, that altraft for two
hundred thousand men will be called
for in a few days or weeks, =and •an
other call for three hundred thousand
more next winter ! Such announce
ment are very refreshing this warm
weather—calculated to induce the
people to desire campaigning in the
"sunny south."
Ma- Captains Henry A. Lantz and
George B. Rhoads, of Reading, were
both killed in the recent operations
, of the army around Richmond.
• ,The fugitive slave law has
been, repealed by Congress. Ve
don't care much one way or the oth

won't come north after their niggers

professing to bo with us.
flow *rum ttx.-4,1 story was
started by the Philadelphia Inquirer,
last week, that liostby had g9t lierth

LOYACROGUES,
We never :bad any confidence in
the sincerity; ' , l:)r 'honesty of the fbul
mouthed. ':loyalists," :Who con
stantly •WreaChitig thdir Patriotism,
fronr'house=tops, as it were, and,
'same time, slandering and
threatening their neighbors, who will
not shut their eyes or mouths to the
rascality; incompetency and treason
in the land. The New York Evening
Post has been one of the loyalest of
the "loyal." It indulged, to the
heart's contentoof the bitterest aboli
tionist in tho land, in the terms "cop
perheads," "sympathizers," and "trai
tors." It furnished more texts to the
abolition papers, abusive of the de
mocracy, than any other paper, not
even excepting Greely and his very
"loyal" Tribune.
Now note the sequel. On Tuesday
last, Mr. Henderson, publisher of the
Evening ,`'Post, and Navy Agent at
New Yark city, was arrested by Mar
shall Murry; on the serious charge of
fraud, bribery; the transmission of
false vouchers, &,e., involving a very
large sum of money.
It must not be supposed that the
administration at Washington wai
ignorant of the frauds perpetrated at
New York,
,particularly by.3.t.'Hen
'derson, or that ft immediately
rested hires when the facts became
known, as the "loyal" journals over
the country are apt to apologise.—
The administration has known of
these frauds for months; the whol6
public knew of them. Senator Grimes
openly, in the U. S. Senate, made ref
erence to them in a speech several
mo,ntlis ago. Bat it Was Only ' last
Week, when Mr. Turlow Weed, of the
Albany Evening Journal, a prominent
and powerful leader of the Abolition
ists, brought the .subject out tin his
paper, that the stop alluded to—the
arrest of. Hr. Henderson—was order
ed.
A New York Hardware firm, G. W.
Schofield & Co., fitrnishing gob& to
the Government, was also, at the
sibie time, brought up "standing?' as
the - Saying is. Mr. Henderson order
ed the 'goods, and approved the bills.
As speerthen "bricks" of what the
goods cost Messrs. Schofield
and what the Governinent.paid theM,
on bills approved by Mr. Henderson,
we subjoin the following :

Of course these enormous profits
were . dividecl, not only . with Mr. Hen
derson,rbit btibiis, 'and when names
are mentioned will astound some of
the public not a little. It won't as
tound us, because we expected ntith
ing else. The war was inaugurated
for the nigger, a "little blood-letting,'
a great deal of stealing and political
power. ,
The New York Tribune, and Horace
Greeley, its editor, are also excessive
qy "loyal." It appears, from recent
-'ildvelopements, that a Mr. Callicot is
enklegetl„ by "permits" from the ad
ministratiM in cotton speculations
in the -South,= - 4,liat is obtaining cot
ton from the rebels and sending them
supplies in eturn ! Mr. ‘6lreeley ob
tained his appointment, ana shares
the profits
A Mr. Camp, one of tbe proprietors
of the Tribune, is also engaged in the
same lucrative business, and shares
with the Tribune association !
Mosso. Allen and Fil brick, ofßhode
paitners or agents of Senator
Sprague, son in-law•of S eeretary Chase
are enjoying similar , ,privileges.
These'factsrfurniShfoOd for refin e Tion. an ivik be successful,
when the highest and 'lite -lowest of
the'party engaged in managing, aro
coining money out of it, thtis making
it their interest to cause 'to be un
successful. * *
Our soldiers are sacrificed on the
battle fields of the south, and the ad
ministration furnishes "supplies," if
not powder and lead, at least necessa
ries of life, to the rebels, so that they
may continue the contest. We do
'not say that it is not powder and ball
to - slay our own men that is furnish
ed under 'the name of supplies, by
these men, tnder "permits" from the
administration ; wevnly do not know
what it is, and it maybethat as well
as anything else, because we want
cotton most and they want ?power
and ball most. A fair exchange is to
robbery.
This war has become so widely di
verted from its original . Purposes i is
.the fruitful source of so much misery
and corruption ; endangers the per
quanenoe ofour republican institutions,
slaughters the life Wood of the nation,
iinpoveiiishes us EkT a - people, that
it wonder' the people are 'com
bining to put a stOp to it.
If PEACE is l 4 - iiiide! the rallying cry
of the Demo*Nic party this fall,
tens and hum:Weds of thousands will
follow its standards who, under ii`o
other circumstances would be fO'fitid
there.
We perceive that the abolition pa
pers, with their lanai - dishonesty and
deception, are placing at their edito
rial heads, the following announc
meats :
"For the amendment of the Constitu
tion granting the soldiers the right to
vote," &c. ,„
Now, in the first place, there is no
such amendment to be voted for.—
The proposed amendment is to give
qualified electors in military service,
the right to vote away from the polls
where they are already entitled to
vote. .The abolition papers take it
for granted that soldiers are fools,
and that they cannot see- tho,pre
tended friendship displayed for them
for no other purpose than .simply do
obtain their votes. Why don't they
appeal to the - soldiers' judgment and
sense of i;ight for his influence and
support, instead of thus attempting
to deceive him. - They would make
the soldiers believe, by their announce
ments, that they would procure them
the right to vote, whereas, the amend
ments have no reference to that ob
ject at all. No soldier, not entitled
to vote when at home, will be pet
mitted-, legally, to vote when in the
fold"at the doming 616441'6n5, rici Mat
ter how the election turns out, or
what the promises of the abolitionists
may be.
In the second place, ticy would
make it appear that the democrats
are "opposed to giving soldiers the
right to' vote." This is another de
ception-they are attempting to prac
tice' urn the soldiers. As ,we said
before Me 'amen dmen ts avnot involve
that quostton Ve 'vivo no
doubt there Democrats, 'and
others, Who would objeet to hawking
the•ballot-bones of Pennsylvania all
over the county, gathering up the
vote of !lily body 'and eVerYbOdy,
whether entitie l d or not, lant whb have
no objections whatever to giving sol
diers all the facilities necessary to
cast their votes when entitled to do
so: The Democratic party never yet
attempted to deprive anybody of his
legal rights, much less that ofsuffrage,
as did the abolitionists in 1554 and
1855, when. they attempted to deprive
our adopted citizens of •their right to
'Vote. If the foqire knew tiEed,t, tue
abolition Legislature of this state in
tended to'pe - tis a fair and just law pro
scribing the regulations under which
the voting is to be chine, there would
probably not bo a single vote against
the proposed amendments. As it is
people will exorcise their judgment
in 'the 'lnattdr.
ma. The repeal of the $3OO column
tation clause in the conscription act,
as recommended by kr. Lincoln, is
still being acted on in Congress. The
House at first refused to repeal it by
a decided vote, but the Senate, in ac
cordance with the bidding of its mas
ter, Old Abe, put it through flucking.
"'hell:louse is now endeavoring to re
consider itslctiiitOndlt is'intbable
that it Will yiit'be repealed, thus com
pelling every man drafted to , go, or
buy a substitute atiiiidbormouseprfee.
The poor man will then, of eourso,ihe
obliged to go, leaving , his family to
the bard mercies of a btird world, as
he will be unable to raise the money
to buy a substitute. Let the poor
man remember that it is Abe Lincoln
who recommended the repeal of the
s3oo.clause, and that it is at his bid
ding that Congress, is repealing it.

ANECDOTE
The Duke of faoeleugb, -in one of
his walks, purchased a eetw.,from a
person in the neighklurlmtxit,icf .Dal
keith, nud left orders to seta it t to
his place the following morning. Ac
cording to agreement, the cow was
sent, and the Duke happening to be
in deshabille, and walking in the ave
nue, spied a little fellow ineffectually
attempting to drive the animal for
ward to ite destination. The boy,
not knowing the Duke, bawled out
to him, "Heh, mun, come here and
give's a hail the beast."
The Duke saw the mistake and de
termined on having a joke with the
little fellow. - Pretending therefore
not to understand him, the Duke
Walked on slowly, the boy still crav

at last he cries, in

"bat I'm sure o' something, •for the
folk up by at the house, are gude to
a' bodies." •
As they approached the house, the
Duke darted from the boy, anrj en
tered by anetber way. He called a,
servant, put a sovereign into hie.
hand, saying :
"Give that to the boy that hasjust
brought the cow."
The Duke returned to the avenue,
and Was soon rejoined by th'eih9x.,
"Well, how much did -'You. 'get ?"
inquired the Duke:
"A shilling," said the buy, "and
there's the ha h lfo't t' ye."
"But surely you got more than a
shilling ?" said the Duke.
"No," said the boy, with the ut
most earnestness : "as sure as death
that's a' I got ;,and d'ye no think it's
plenty ?"
"1 do not," said the .duke ; "there
must be some mistake ; and as .I am.

but the Duke interrupted him, and
indignantly ordered him to give the
boy the'Sovereign forthwith, and quit
his service 'instantly.
"You haVe loSt," said the Duke"

WIIAT DOES IT MEAN ?—The New
Era, the Washington Fremont organ
says: We have sufficient authority
for saying that an announcement will
soon be made of such means of "non
centtating the Union vote upon a
candidate for presidency, and under
auspices to command „public confi
dence, that all doubts of securing the
certain defeat which awaits the at
tempt to perpetuate the present weak
and unsuccessful Administration may
be d ism issed."
This, coming from a Republicatt
organ is somewhat astonishing. If
a Democratic sheet used such lan
guage it would be called dislayal,and
its author probably consigned to some
Government basilic.
