my and denounce his crimes. Nor was the vote
by which they did it a meagre ono. Hie friends
and those who would most gladly have averted
this disgrace from our State, could rally but
about one-third of the House against She reso
lution of condemnation. The vote was about
two to ono against him, though I, as a Penn.

the representative of our state, but too well sat
isfied of his guilt to vote against the resolution,
failed to record my vote.
In this fact, gentlemen, you have the secret of
"this distinguished statesman's" hostility to me
and my friends. Mr. Walborn ' the Postmaster
of Philadelphia, and others of b ig creatures, have
offered me his friendship and support if I would
endeavor to have that resolution expunged. My
reply has invartaby been that to stir foul matter
would be to produce a stench. I have never in
this or aught else endeavored to propitiate him
or his oreatures. No stone may mark the spot
where my poor remains may finally rest; but I
mean that my children shall be able to vindicate
my name by pointing to the fact that Simon Ca
meron and his confidential friends were ever hos
tile to me.
With grateful regards ) yours, very truly,

wk. A, "loyal" postmaster at Mex
ico, Suniata county, recently mys
teriously disappeared, taking with
him all the money that he could
borrow, considerable of which was
from returned soldiers.
Oztl- There was a high time among
the stock gamblire and brokers in
New York last week, Forgeries and
theft to the amount of $4,000,000
were discovered, which almost pro
duced a monetary panic. A num
ber of banks are very heavy losers,
and several failures of brokers occur
ed in consequence.
itir Simeon Draper has been re
moved as Collector of the Port of
New York, and Hon. Preston King
appointed in his place, and Hon. Mo
ses F. Odell has been appointed Na
val Officer at New York, to succeed
Mr. Dennison. These changes indi
cate that the President's policy, in
regard to the offices will be "rota
tion," which creates a great deal of
fluttering among the "loyal." Some
even threaten not to be "loyal" any
longer if their holding of offices is en
dangered.
teL,l3p in Columbia county the
Democracy have an original way of' ;,
doing up things. Theypropose hold

Camp-Meeting, in the woods, which
is to continue three days—the 29th,
30th and 31st inst. Speeches will be
made on current topics by able men
—original poetry will be read or sung
—the history of the "'Columbia Co.
Invasion" will be given—a band of
music has been engaged, board and
canvas tents will be erected—flags
displayed, and in fact everything done
to make the gathering harmonious
and successful. No liquors will be
sold on the ground, nor will any row.
dyism be permitted. All parties are
invited to attend.
mar In Union county, of this State,
the Republican convention which met
last week, passed a resolution for the
abrogation of all distinction in re
gard to race and color.
ser The Democratic State Con.
vention will meet at Alarrisburg, to.
morrow. Grant Weidman and Da-
vid Rank, Esqrs., are the delegates

The failure of the Atlantic
Telegraph Cable is confirmed. Cap
tain Napier reports as follows
"The cable parted on Wednesday,
the 2d instant, in' 1,950 fathoms of
water. It was then grappled for
three times, and raised 1,200, 900 and
600 fathoms, respectively; each time
the grapplin g 'broke, but the cable
' , on:tallied unbroken. The Great
Eastern returned to England for
stronger and better grappling gear."
Mr. Parley; one of the electricians,
writes most encouragingly in regard
to the cable, saying : "We found no
difficulty in grappling for the cable,
even in the greatest depth of water.
As soon as the proper tackle is pre
pared we will probably commence
grappling for the cable again, one
hundred miles east of the break,
where the water is only 1,500 fath
oms deep. The buoy rides the gales
well, being fastened by pieces of con.
demned cable."
kir Some weeks ago Simon Cam
eron went to Philadelphia and black
guarded the republican members of
Congress from that city. On the
outside we publish the reply of one of
them, (Judge Kelley.) Old "Kicka
poo," it will bo admitted, is laid out
most. effectually. These squabbles
among the leaders of the "loyal" and
"patriotic," over the spoils of office, on
ly prove, what we have often said,
that they are unworthy of the trust
reposed in them. "When thieves fall
out honest men get their .dues."—
What a pleasant party to belong to
the Republican must be, when' their
leader in Pennsylvania is charged by
another leader with being the most
corrupt man in the country ?
Otr• A severe shock of earthquake
was felt on Thursday morning last
slang the Mississippi river.
Mir We not only consider that the
pleasure trips taken by members of
the administration at Washington in
government steamers at the peoples'
expense as wrong, but the practice is
rascally in the extreme. The papers
of Friday last announce the arrival
of Attorney General Speed at Cape
May—the second time this season.—
Upon what principle are these pleas
ure trips paid for out of the Treasu
ry. Government steamers, manned
and equipped at the public expense,
are used to convey the party to and
from the sea-shore. During the pre
vious visit of these officials, one of
the steamers that conveyed them to
Cape May remained there subject to
their orders, and was used to take
them on a fishing excursion with a
number of invited guests. For all
this the people must pay, not the,
pleasure-loving or health-seeking offi
cials. 'The people are willing to con
tribute to pay the enormous debt
contracted to put down the rebellion,
even if almost every other man' you
meet is a tax collector, but they are
not willing to pay taxes to enable a
set of lazy, aristocratic nabobs to use
their money in pleasuring over the
country. If Attorney deneral Speed
and his friends desire visiting Cape
May for health or pleasure, at: their
own expense, nobody would object ;
nobody would say much about it
even if they stole money' to Pay for
railroad fare and board, but using
government steamers at an expense
of probably ten thousand times what
it would cost any other person, is put
ting it on a little too thick. _
Oar The Republican State Conve
ntion of Pennsylvania met at Harris
burg last week. Gen. J. F. Har
trauft of Montgomery county, was
nominated for Auditor General, and
Colonel Jacob M. Campbe,ll of Cam
bria county for Surveyor General.
John Cessna, (two years ago a
Democrat,) was President of the Con
vention, and also placed himself at
the head of their State Committee,
BO as to be enabled to handle the
funds systematically and economical
ly. A good deal of squabbling took
place, but the spoils and offices pre
vented a blow up, although curses are
loud and deep, both against the tick
et and the resolution; which express
confidence in the administration of
President Johnson, and endorse his
reconstruction policy ; compliment
Governor Curtin and E. M. Stanton,
and recommend the confiscation of
the property of Southern rebels over
$lO,OOO to pay pensions, etc., to the
soldiers. They advert to tho rovi-
Bion of the revenue laws so as to in
sure protection to American industry,
and strongly endorse the Monroe
doctrine, and recognize the claims of
soldiers to offices and posts of profit
and honor.
Mr. Todd offered a resolution
relative to the recognition of soldiers'
, claims to offices, etc., as a substitute
for the resolution of the committee,
which after considerable debate, was
negatived, yeas 17 nays 111.
Why they should have voted down
so decisively a resolution recognizing
the soldiers' claims to offices, after
professing to be their friends, is only
explained by the fact, that when they
talk of soldiers they mean OF
FICERS, whom .they are freely pok
ing on their tickets, thinking that
the soldiers love them well enough
to vote for them with a rush. We
think they will find;themselves mis
taken in this particular.
Cameron, whose character is given
by Judge Kelly on the outside of
this paper, ruled the convention.
Otr In the proceedings of the abo
lition State Convention, last week,
at Harrisburg, it will be seen that a
resolution offered by Mr. Todd recog
nizing the soldiers' claims to offices
was voted down by YEAS 17 to
NAYS 111! When it comes to the
offices the sotdiers are of no account,
particularly when they come in com
petition with a parcel of Generals,
Colonels, &c. '

From the Reading Gazette
UNEQUAL TAXATION.
Now that the people are beginning
to feel the heavy burden of taxation
that has been laid upon them, they
naturally inquire more closely into
the operation of the system, or rath
er want of sytem by which that bur
den has been imposed. The result of
their inquiries leads to one inevita
ble conclusion—and that is, the great
inequality and injustice of exempting
Government bonds from State, muni
cipal and county taxation. It a
mounts practically to the creation of
the Creditors of the Government into
a privileged class, whose wealth, re
presented by the bonds they hold,
buys their freedom from the local
taxes, which, under a just and impar
tial system, should be equally borne
by all, in proportion to their means.
How much of the wealth of the States
has been absorbed in the National se
curities, may be easily estimated ;
and that it will not be long before the
bulk of them will pass into the hands
of the rich, who can afford to hold
them as an investment, may be tak
en for. granted. The rottenness,
therefore, of a scheme which oper
ates so as to reliever from taxation
the very individuals who, by reason
of their riches, should bear the larg
est proportion, is too. plain to need
demonstration. Apart from the mani
fest wrong done to the people at
large, by such partial legislation, the
question may well be raised, wheth
er Congress did not exceed their pow
ers when they deprived the States of•
the right which they have heretofore
exercised as a necessary attribute to
sovereignty in their domestic affairs,
of equally taxing the wealth of their
citizens respectively, in whatever
shape invested.
The last Doylestown Democrat has
an excellent article on this subject,
which we copy, as an unanswerable
argument against the odious species
of favoritism which releases the Gov
ernment creditors, whose security is
of the first class, from the payment
of their just proportion of the public
expenses
SHALL GOVERNMENT BONDS BE TAXED
This question will come up sooner
or later before the American people
at the b.allot-box. The exemption
of Government bonds from taxation.
for State, municipal and county pur
poses is a great wrong perpetrated
upon the tax-payers generally. It
is building up a privileged class, and
relieves hundreds of millions of dol
lars of the wealth of the country from
bearing any of the burdens of the
government. What right congress
has to make this distinction in favor
of persons who loan their money to
the Government, instead of individu
als, we have not yet discovered. If I
loan money to a farmer, and he gives
me his bond or mortgage, it is taxed
for State and county purposes. But
if a neighbor lends his money to the
United States, and receives a bond
for its payment that bond is not lia
ble to taxation for any purposes
whatever. This isan unjustdiserimi
nation in favor of investments, and
one w - n Jut' is at crarizsuce -our
system of government. The true
principle is, that people should pay
for the support of the government fle•
cording to their means ; but the A bo
lition Congress steps in and says one
class shall be exempt from paying
anything if they will only invest their
money in a particular kind of securi
ties. We'ask our: readers if this is
just and right ? We say, no'; it is
class legislation that we must put an
end to. It goes to build up an aris
tocracy, and throws an additional
weight of taxation on the farmerand
the landed interest.
The rich man who has $lOO,OOO in
vested in government bonds pays
neither State, County, Borough or
School tax ; while the homestead of
the hard-working mechanic, not worth
more than $l,OOO, is taxed for all
these purposes. The latter pays for
repairing the streets, lighting the
lamp before the rich man's door, and
the policeman who guards, his proper
ty at night. So far as the capitalists
aro concerned they have already re
pudiated our State, County and Mu
nicipal debts; for they bear none of
the burden& It is only necessary for
Congress to exempt the farmer, me
chanic, laboring man, and merchant,
when the repudiation will be com
plete. To tax these securities will
no more prevent the government bor
rowing money than individuals, on
bond and mortgage. There is no
other country in the world where
one-half of the capital is exempt from
taxation.
Congress has perpetrated another:
wrong upon the tax-payer. Our
State banks paid about half a million
dollars a year tax into the State
Treasury. These 'institutions Con
gress has abolished, and 'established
National banks in their place, which
are exempt from taxation for State
purposes.. Therefore, 'the five hun
dred thousand dollars. tax which the
State banks paid must be raised from
some, other source.- These great bank-
ing corporations are relieved from
their share of the public burdens, and
the real and personal property of in.
dividuals are made to pay it for
them. We need not ask the ques.
Lion whether there is any injustice in
this. The thing speaks for itself.

SOLDIER KILLED ON THE RAILROAD
—On Wednesday evening, 9th. inst.,
as the 5 o'clock train from Philadel
phia was passing Douglassville Sta
tion, a young man named John Al
bright, jumped off the cars while they
were running at full speed, and in
doing so fell, struck his head against
a sill and fractured his skull badly,
causing compression and concussion
of the brain. Dr. R. B. Rhoads, of
Amityville, and Dr. W. C. Bossett,
of Douglassville, were called in, and
after a consultation over the wound
ed man, concluded that he was in a
dying condition, and that any surgi
cal operation in his case would be
useless, and only hasten his death.—
They determined, however, that
should any favorable reaction take
place, they would then operate upon
him, and remove the bones that were
pressing on the brain, by trepanning.
Shortly after this, Dr. E. C. Kitchen
arrived, and thinking there might be
some chance for the man's 'recovery,
resolved to trepan him at once, which
was done. The poor fellow,- however,
did not show any symptoms of recov
ery, but graduallY sunk, and breath
ed his last about 3 o'clock, next
morning. The deceased was a re
turned soldier, who had been dis
charged a few weeks ago, and was
returning from a visit to Reading
and Pottstown when the accident oc
curred. He was a sort.of George Al
bright, of Earl toviiiship,l3erks coun

BURGLARY AND ATTEMPLED MUR
DEE IN LANCASTER.-011 Friday night
last, the dwellino. of Dr. F. A. Ruh len

about forty dollars. The burglar af
ter effecting an entrance proceeded
to the office of the .Doctor in the
second-story and there procured
chloroform. Saturating a large sponge
with the fluid,, he threw it through a
transom window into the chamber
occupied by the youngest son of Dr.
Mublenberg. When he supposed the
chloroform had taken, effect he open
ed the chamber door, and proceeded
to the bureau and rifled the drawers.
In the meantime Mr. Mahlenberg
awoke from his partial unconscious
ness and grappled with the burglar.
A terrific struggle ensued, during
which the burglar made several at
tempts to take the life of young
Muhlenberg. lie received several
slight cuts on the neck and breast,
and one very deep one on the leg.—
The burglar, becoming alarmed at
the brave resistance, and fearful of
aid arriving, left hurriedly, dropping
in his exit from the room a gold
wateh'he had taken from the bureau.

1140HC1P37
X. W. BRADLEY'S New Patent DUPLEX
ELLIPTIC (or double) SPRING .SKIRT
THIS INVENTION consists of DUPLEX (or two) EL
LIPTIC PORE REPINED STEEL SPRINGS, ingeniously braid
ed tightly and firmly . together, edge to edge, making
the toughest, most Rex ible,elastic and durable Spring
ever used. They seldom bend or break, like the Sin
gle Springs, and consequently preserve their perfect
and beautiful shape more than twice, as long as any
Single Spring Skirt that ever has or can be made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any Lady wearing the DUPLEX ELLIP
TIC SKIRT will be experienced particularly in all
crowded Assemblies, Operas, Carriages, Railroad Cars,
Church Pews, Arm Chaire, for Promenade and Rouse
Dress, as the Skirt can be folded when in use to occu
py a small place as easily and conveniently as a Silk
or Muslin _Dress.
A Lady having enjoyed the Pleasure, Comfort and
Great Convenience of wearing the DUPLEX ELLIP
TIC STEEL SPRING SKIRT for a single day will nev.
er aftetwardewillinglv dispense with their use. For
children; Misses and Young Ladies they are superior
to all others.
THE HOOPS are covered with 2 ply double twisted
thread and will wear twice as long as the Single yarn
covering which is used on all Single Steel Hoop Skirts.
The three bottom rods on every' Skirt are also Double
Steel, and twice or double covered to prevent the coy.
ering from wearing of the rods when dragging down
stairs, stone steps, &C., &c., which they are constantly
subject to when in use.
All are made of the new and elegant Corded , Tapes,
and are the best.qu ality in every part, giving to the
wearer the most graceful and perfect Shape possible,
and are unquestionably the lightest, most desirable,
comfortable and economical Skirts ever made. -
