SOCIETY IN ALeemu.--The following

and character: •
I am ghing along as quietly ,as I
expected, still I see , and hear hostu.•
demonstrations daily and am fre
quently told I will haVe to leave as
soon as Seymour and Blair are elect
ed. I think so myself. The tax col
lector here is getting along badly.--
At one place be could not get his

to collect the taxes. I am satisfied
now the intention of _the party is re
- hellion, and unless the government
takes more active means to'suppress
it, we will be sure . to get hate it. I
for one do not feel safe here,as things
now stand, though I have made up
'my mind to stand and take it till N.
vember. The .people• are - holding
back their business as far as they
can. I would ruto up, and bring
them to a settlement, but I have no
Sheriff here, and in fact no other civ
it officer in the docility ; acting under
the reconstruction laws. - I suppose
I could sell and quit, and let the gov
ernment go into the bands of its en

cerned, but I do not mean to do it.—
I mean to bold to the right, come
what will and do my part in honest
gad faith for the while, and can but
regret, and do regret the' vacillating
course of Some of our folks; and the
weak kneed, who even in safe places
have resigned.
This is a true . statement of the
condition of every county in the

counties the officers elected have not
been able to take their places, as
they have been threatened with their

how THE COPPERHEADS PROPOSE TO
PAY THE' FARHERS.—The New York
Democratic Convention announced
that upon the elevation of their par
ty to powerobey will " tax equally"
every species of property:including
" national bonds," according to its
"value.
The valuelif the taxable ptoperty
of every kind in the United States in
1870, will not fall_ short of $35,000,-
000,000. Of this sum tbree-eightlis
or $13,000,600,000, are invested in
farm lauds, and $3 , 000,000 , 000 in live
stock, farm improvements, machinery
and implements.
• The national bonds amount to
about $2,100,000,000.
Neither the lands, live stock, ma
chinery nor implements of the farm
ers, nor the bonds are taxed by the
United States.
The Democratic party propose, in
order to equalize taxation, to collect
an equal tax for every apecies of
property,including Government bonds
according to its value. The annual
wants of the United States for rev
\
enue,including interest and pensions,
will be $350,000,000, or one` per cent.
upon all the taxable property in the
United States.
The practical operation of the
Democrstie\ system of taxation will
be that the \ Government bonds,will
yield annuallY \ a tax of $21,000,000,
and that the (arm lands, fences,
horses, hogs, sh“np, chickens, cows,
wagons, machinery and implements
of the farmers will "yield $160,000,-
900 annually. That is the plan of.
equal taxation proposed\by the Dem
ocratic platform. In order to reach
the $2,10%000,000 of bond, with a
tax, in defiance of the con6act, the
Democratic - party propose tb \ put a
tax of $190,000,000 on the farmers.

naturalization frauds in Philadelphia

the Democracy.
PRILADWSIA, Oct B.—About two
week's ago a _reporter for a. daily
paper.applied. to the Prothonotary of
the Supreme Mud to cop y ' and
print the' public_ records
,otthe natu
ralized citizens created in that court '
'since Sept 1. Even in
. New York
snobs request no officer would dare
to Tektite: Mere 'Mr. J. Boss Snow.
den, Prothonotary did refuse. The
public records were not for the pub
lie. In the solemn and responsible
office of making aliens 'citizens, the
clerks and tipstaves of the court were
not to be / °pee to scrutiny they
were to discharge their duties in Se.
crecy, like that of the Star Chamber:
The reporters appealed to ther Court
itself. Shorewood and Thompson.
Democratic judges, eat upon the
bench, and the court hesitated.—
Unwilling to comply,it scarcely dared
to refuse.. After mature deliberation
it was decided that the records might •
be copied i , ia the presence of some
subordinate of the Prothonothry, and
with this reluctant permission three
reporters went to the work at once.
Three were not sufficient ; a dozen
were needed. Pot it was soon dis
covered that the seal of the Supremw
Court and the signature. of the Pro.
thonotary bad been appended to cer
tificates of naturalization at the tale
of seven hundred a day ; that the
records of the Court were imperfect,
inasmuch as merely the name of the
person naturalized was, registered,
without resid•:uce or voucher. Thous.
ands Of.citizens had been created by
the Court, out of aliens - whom
. the
court did not. know and had never
examined,-and whose identity it was
utterly without the means to aacer
tain. Prothunot;try had' signed his
name to paper 4, he ha& never read ;
who - were strangers to him
affixed the seal of the Court to cer•
tificates which certified to nothing
but lies.
For while, at'convenient hours and
under wearisome restraint, the re
porters with ravenous quills were
copying, copying, copying Wig lista
of barren names like those in some
dead direetory, a drunken foreigner
let out between a hiccouch and a
hurrah for Seymour, information
that led to the. unsuspected revels
tions. The inmates of a Democratic'
boarding house.on( Market at. were
arrested, and on examination it ap
peared that they were kept to vote
the Democratic ticket ; that none of
them had been in the country five
years ; that they had, been nature
lited in the Supreme Court upon the
oath of men whom they did not know;
and that one of them had been'in the
rebel army from 1862 to 1865.
Here was an indication worth noting.
But aunther drunken,. foreigner unin
tentionally came forward with proofs.
A slay or two after this, s. German
named Über was arrested (or drunk
enuess,and in his pockets were found
two- naturalivetion• papers (did be
intCnd to vote twice ?), and a little
blue eald with this inscription :
"Democratic naturalization. Give
the bearer one naturalization paper
and charge Committee (692), Samuel
D. Daily, Secretary." Mr. Daily, by
the way, is the Secretary of the
Democratic City Committee, or what
is called the Oreinization. Über
testified that be had obtained his
certificates of citizenship in a sugar
refinery.. The next day, Oct. 1, the
doings of this Nagar house, in which
the business of the Supreme Court
was transacted, were still farther
revealed. Its foreman was proved
to have supplied naturalization pa
pars to men who had informed him
that they had no right to vote. Upon
the perii;on 01 a -well-known Demo
cratic rough, arrested for an attempt
to kill, were found 12 blank naturali
zation paperti, bearing the-seal of the
Court, and what pretended to be the
signature of the Prothonotary. An
other
. man named Watson testified
that Coggeliali and Pierce,prominent
Democratic politicians, paid him from
$1 to $5 to vouch •for men whom he
he had never seen, and that he had
sworn mire than 70 aliens through
the Supreme Court, upon Coggawell's
itsaurance the "the Democratic party
would lace him 411 right."
• Upoll u rtititni of the court to order
the Prothonotory to cancel certain
certilicatee.proved • to have been ob
taiued by perjury, • the matter was
formally brought , before Sharswood,
on October 5, and thus the Prothono
ter4 and practically - the Court itself,
was put upon the defence. Judge
Share wood the Inext day granted a
rule requiring certain persons to show
cause why their admission to citizen-1
ship should not be revoked, upon the
condition that the Attorney-General
of the State should appear to prose
cute the rule,aud that officer,the Hon.
Benjamin H. Brewster, and assisted
by the Deputy Attorney-General, Mr.
Lewis Wain Smith promptly took
charge of the investigation. Mr.
- Snowden testified that he had never
signed, blank certificates ; that his ,
signature 'must have been forged ;
that he did not know by whom the
seal ofj the court. had been affixed.—
His clerks testified that it was cus
tomary for them to attach the scale
to blanks, and that- on one occasion
fiS blanks thus authenticated were
scattered about desks. It was not
alleged that the ProthonJtiwy bad
been guilty of fraud, but. the 'neon
trovertable fact remained that sugar
houses and Democratic Committees
had access te, the. seal om which he
was the custodian, and that forgery 1
bad been carried to such perfection
by the, Dethocratic experts thathe
could not tell his own signature,froni
`heir imitation!. Nor had he Proper

words of Mr. Brewster, "the making

Whenever the money of s country
is changed in value the ions falls on
those who are last to understand th_e_
change. The - cities gain, the wally
loses. The rich grow richer, the
poor grow poorer; speculation flour
idles and industry gaffers.
The same results follow whenever
any severe shock, is given to a great
financial system. Let the credit of a
nation be.dishonored, its,debt repudi
ated, iinddimAicietuations of value
brought libmit in goods and property,
or . even in the rates of interest mid in
the value* of leading securities ; and
the injury , ME - substantially upon
tha • labor, ag mg*, the ag ricultural
and manufacturing dist ricts,,and
worst of all, upon the poor.
This is as established law of polit
ical economy. No respectable stu
dent of s -ciety has ever -denied it—
It is as certain and as plain a troth
as the law of gravitation. If is the
interest of the mamma of the people
in soy country , and not the interest
- of a privileged clasis,that is promoted
by stability in its financial policy,
and
-by the steady maintenance of its
credit.
If any polifical party- pretend to
serve the poor man by br eak ing down
that credit, the pretence is merely an
effort to deceive him. Were it finally
decided to-day that the debt Of the
United States should be. repudiated,
the small number of rich city bond;
holders would protect themselvt a at
once by selling the bonds befOre the
.panio - became general ; and might
even double their fortunes by specu
lating on the decline of their prop
erty.
But the mass of the bonds belong
to others. The , workingmen of the
whole - country own a large part of
the debt. Many thousands of them
have bought bonds directly, as an
investment of their earnings. Mil
lions, more of, them are interested in
the bonds;:tio' that .the repudiiitien of
the debt would be a severe injury to
them.
" Senator Morgan, in his spefch
Monday evening', gave some interest
ing,facte bearing upon this point.
He 'showed that every man whck-has
insured any property against fire; or
his life and tabor against death; or
has deposited his earnings in a sa
vings bank would be injured by the
democratic policy. Here are the
facts concerning the "bloated bond
holders," as Mr. Morgan points them
out :
"The insurance company must in 7
vest its capital and its surplus earn
hiss in some good, security. The
public stocks offer the most, conven
ient, and, until recently, have been
held to be the safest investment: The
fire companies . insuring in this state
alone have invested. net less than
$25,000,000 in United States securi
ties" peihaps a million more has been
invested in United States stocks by
companies that insure against rail
road and other casualties. And we
find that including fire, life, and Ma-,
Hie insurance, the whole anis that
would be affected by the repudiation
of government contracts would be
about $55,000,000. The security, in
part, for this vast aggregate, In
which every household is interested,
is $55,000,000 in government bonds.
"Then, there is life insurance. To
'whom is this lean of insurance so

laboring man, whose daily wages
are absorbed- iu rearing- a family ?
More than four hunderd thousand life
'policies are in force in our state, rep:
resenting upwards of $1,000,000,000
in tieks, and nearly . $25,000,000 of
their assets are' invested is United
States bonds. When, therefore, you
strike down the government 'credit
you inflict a - cruel wrong upon hun
dreds -of thousands of w9men and
children.
"There are in our state one hun
dred and one • savings banks. Of
these, eighty-eight have investments
United States ibonds, and three
others !hold bonds as collateral for
loans. The remaining companies are
mostly the smaller or newer ones.—
The par value of the United States
bonds held by these eight,reight sa.
vings banks on the first of July last,
was about $55,000,000, and. • the
amount held tie collateral nearly $4,-
000,000, making $59;000,000. The
deposits thus in part secured wile
placed there by no less than 520,000
depositors. Of the vast sum above
given, there is- owned by - the savings
banker &this city And Brooklyn not
less than $1.7,000,00 0, belonging to
over 400•,000 depositors,or something
less than $l2O apiece."
Let the depositors in savings banks
remember that every attack upon
bondholders is an attack upon them.
They are in fact the great msjority
of the whole class, and would be the
greatest sufferers, if dishonest prin.,
ciplesnnd men s hould obtain the con:
trol of the nation.
•Let every laboring man remember
that the doctrines of the'New York
platform,' applied to the national ft
winces, would bring on an era of
confusion in wages and - prices, in
which the rich speculator-would pros
per, andlvery industrious head of- a
family would be at his mercy.
Let every . :voter, impartially, com
pare the candidates and platforms
now before the Country . ,. and vote for
, those men and those principles whose
triumph will best establish the pub'.

r and prevent panic, confu
sion andfigeneral distress, with the
oppression of the poor and the em
barrassment of industry.

DENUNCIATION OS THE UNION.-Thi .
Mobile Tribune,-in the course of, an
article bitterly denunciatory of the
Qoverument, says i
The government of the - United
States as it exists today is a mock•
ety and a delusion: It is a govern
i
merit of stretched laws with which nol
one connects himself except for the
- purpose of stealing. In fact it is no
longer a government, bot merely 'a
huge stealing . apparatus. It is a
cover under which knaves ."go for"
the people's• money as. the Hottentot
in the school geography. "goe.4 for"
ostriches with the skin of one over
his person. Notwithstanding which
it is the Bert of government which
must necessarily be - produced 'out of!
die condition of society that exists at
the North, and in a great measure at
the South. •Society left to^regulate
itself will's° influence the govern
meat t .at it controls,instead of heing,
controlled by ip,,as to make the goy.-
ertiment a true exponent of itself.
