AROTHEU GEN SPIKED.
There is a wonderful amount of dead wood
in the. Democratic platform, and every day's
developments of the progress of public af-
fairs make the utter rottenness and worthless
ness of its pretences more apparent. Many
of the guns which were put in position at
Tammany Hall, and pointed with such
frowning muzzles at the Republican camp,
were already spiked and useless. The Dem
ocratic platform shouts frantically for the
restoration of the rebel States to their civil
rights, after a Republican Congress, despite
a united opposition by Democratic votes,had
already effected that restoration. It demands
the abolition of the Freedman's Bureau, after
a Republican Congress determined to abolish
it at the end of the present year. It insists
upon a reduction of the public expenses,long
after General Grant has demonstrated by his
practical example that such a result is cer
tain under his administration. It clamors for
the subordination of the ,m ilitary to the civil
power, when every Republican, commander
from General Grant down is giving the best
proof that this is a Republican measure.
And so on through all the category.
The great guns- of -the Democracy, upon
which they have expended whole arsenals of
blank cartridges, are constructed out of the
dreadful "military despotism," of this "bru
tal Republican Government." These guns,
Jndgtn'from the c - easeless reiterations of the
same old hackneyed phrases, are all Parrotts.
With the outcry against "coercion," the De
mocracy began the rebellion, and the cry, in
one key or another, has been kept up ever
since. Long familiarity with this favorite
slang of the party, North and South, has
dulled its effect; and the fact that the shot
from these Quaker guns. never yet reached
the Republican lines, has long ago made the
bombardment more amusing than dangerous.
The military rule at the South has been,
like the whole policy of Republican recon
struction, mild and judicious, and everywhere
the District Commanders have manifested a
desire, often amounting to impatience, for the
time when their rule should entirely cease.
The order just issued by General Meade
drives another effective spike into the Tam
many battery. General Meade, who has de
veloped an executive ability in civil affairs
not common , among men bred to the profes
Rion of arms, has governed his dis
trict with a firm but gene
rous and prudent policy. Quiet
observers among Southern men have been
compelled to pay their honest tribute to his
courtesy, impartiality and moderation. And
the prompt and thorough way in which
General Meade subordinates the military to
the reorganized civil power in the States
forming his district is only in keeping with
the course which he has steadily pursued
from the beginning. He has construed the
laws of Congress,not according to the distorted
glosses of Andrew Johnson, and not for any
purposes of political preferment, but in their
simple, obvious sense, and with a
full recognition of their paramount
authority. And now he hastens to conform
the military to the new ly-created civil power.
He withdraws his troops from the numerous
stations among which they have been scat
tered all over his extended district, and con
eentrates them at a few central and conveni
ent posts. He announces that all orders is
suing from his headquarters and bearing upon
the rights of persons and property, will have
only such force as may be given to them by
the courts and legislatures of the respective
States. Ile further directs the immediate re
duction of all unnecessary staff and clerical
force, and the observance of a rigid retrench
ment of all expenses.
All this is bad for the Tammany platform
and for the prospects of the Democratic cam
paign. The orators who are accustomed to
discharge great volleys of abuse at the Re
publican party, for the "military despotism"
exercised over the "ten States excluded from
their rightful places in the Union," will be
wofully short of ammunition. Shut up to
their one staple of personal abuse of General
Grant, they will find that weapon every
where recoiling upon their own heads. The
people will see the malignant falseness of all
such assaults, and stand more closely around
their Great Captain, when he is thus abused
by the men who would have rejoiced over
his defeat, three
,years ago. The
guns of the Democracy are spiked.
The charges which are implied in
the high sounding phrase of the party's plat
form are all confuted by the quiet but un
answerable logic of plait facts. The Repub
lican party has already done what the De
mocracy pretends to demand so loudly, and
has done it far better than it would have
been done in any other hands. The country
owes a fresh debt of gratitude to General
Meade for this last proof of his patriotism
and wisdom, while the Democratic leaders
will curse him in their hearts for having de
prived them of one of their pet arguments
with thoughtless people, by thus spiking an
other of the great guns upon which they have
relied so much for the coming campaign.
ARIERICAN TRAVEL.
While there are signs, here and there, of
improvement upon our Eastern lines of rail
load travel, It must be confessed thr.t we are,
asyet, greatly behind the West in the aeu
eral appliances for the comfort and accom
modation of the traveling public. There
can be no possible reason why this should be
,~ ~ ..
so,but no one can travel•through the Western
States without-being struck with the fact.
The difference is observable in the character
of the cars and of the accommociations for
passengers along the roads. The sleeping
and drawing-room ears introduced by Pull
man & Brother, of Chicago, are unrivalled
for their elegance and convenience. Their ca
pacious dimensions in height and length shut
them out from a road like the Pennsylvania
Central, on account of its sharp curves, and
low tunnels and bridges, but they are found
on every important Western road, and they
afford an amount of ease and comfort which
takes away the weariness from many a long
journey and makes a, pleasure of what is
otherwise a tedious toil. Some of the Eastern
roads are rapidly taking lessons in this respect,
and a great advance is noticeable where, for
many years past, anything like really first
class railway accommodation has been ut
terly unknown. The progressive spirit of
the West is reacting very favorably upon the
connecting lines that approach the Atlantic
States, and in a few years more, we may look
for the same style of traveling accommoda
tions that are already so common at the West.
The difference that is observable:in the gen
eral style of railway cars,betweert the Eastern
and Middle sections of the ceuntry, is still
more striking in the wayside provision for
meals. As we travel west the general aver
age of railway meals Improves. The table is
cleaner and more, neatly set; the bill of fare
is good, generally hot, and promptly served.
There is a tidiness about the table liken and
in the appearance of the waiters. At many
stations a substantial dinner is served in regu
lar courses of soup,fish, meats and vegetables,
and dessert; with as good order and regu
larity as at any ordinary table d' hole. A. long
twenty-five orthirty minutes - are allo wed for a
meal, and the traveler is not compelled to choke
himself to death, fearing that the train will
start before he has half dined. Every one
who has traveled much in the East will re
call a dismal array of well-remembered con
traatkto this pleasant and not over-drawn
picture; places where a misers ble apology for
a meal is seized hap-hazard, amid dirt and
grease and careless waiters_andzvery inciagi
nable discomfort, sending the tired traveler
back to some uncomfortable car,cross, heated
and even hungry, because there has been no
thing to eat and no time to eat it, -and nothing
-in-the-place-or—itaappointments—to-invite-tor
tpmpt thp pßhttp.
We repeat• that there can be no good
reason for this great disparity in the railroad
facilities of the East and West. We are glad
to notice that some of our mo Ae enterprising
roads are striving with good success to catch
up with the advanced spirit of the age, and
we trust that it will, not be long before the
comparison that is now daily made between
the railroads of the East and of the West will
be wholly done away.
INCOME TAX FRAUDS.
A New York cotemporary declares its
belief that in every district of that city there
are large numbers of persons who either
make tax returns that fail to represent • their
tine incomes, or who evade the payment 01
the tax in toto. Of course, this condition 01
things is to be expected in New York, where
cheating and stealing are reduced to a science
in the municipal government, and where Cus
tom-house frauds are perpetrated on a scale
of completeness that is equaled nowhere out
of the Spanish West India islands, where the
Custom-house officials, the merchant and the
skipper cheat the government oat of every
cent of the duties on large cargoes and divide
the plunder among themselves, charging the
government with incidental expenses. New
York, thorough as it is in the matter of reve
nue frauds, has not yet attained to the per
section of the West India subjects of Queen
Isabella. But as regards evasions of the
income tax, unfortunately they are not
confined to New York. In our own city tht
published returns exhibit many strange dis
crepancies between the modes of life and th.
means of tax payers or those who should pay
taxes. In some instances the names of cite
zens who are esteemed well-to-do, and wh
live in handsome style, are not found at all
upon the lists ; while others who spend
money at the rate of several thousands aunu
idly, make returns of sums that are very dis
proportionate to their apparent means.
Whether these persons are living beyond
their means and leaving their creditors t
bear the brunt finally, or whether they \.. have
elastic consciences, is a problem that each
must solve in his own way.
There are many persons who would refuse
to perpetrate a fraud upon a private individ
ual, but who think it no special sin to "ge
ahead of the government." This is a very
great delusion, first, because fraud is fraud,
let the victim of it be what or whom it may;
secondly, because a false oath is perjury,
whether the qualification be a "custom-house
oath" or one taken more formally and sol
emnly, and thirdly because every fraud of
this kind upon the government is a fraud
upon the honest tax payer. The citizen who
fails to pay his income tax simply leaves his
honest neighbor to pay it for him, and the
man who returns less than his real income
does a like wrong, the only difference being
in the degree.
The income tax is one of the most unfortu
nate of the many unfortunate legacies of the
war. The readiness with which it can be
evaded is too great a temptation for men of
easy consciences, and its burthens conse
quently fall unequally. Its inquisitorial
character also makes it especially obnoxious,
and the display which it makes to the world
of private affairs amounts almost to an
absolute wrong upon the citizen. Add to
these objections the fact that it exercises a
demoralizing influence by the encouragement
which it affords to fraud and deceit, and a
strong case is made out against it. There are
many ways by which the same amount of
revenue could be raised, where the necessary
taxation could be made to fall equally upon
all, and where other objectionable features of
the income tax would be got rid of. Almost
any just mode of taxation would be prefer
able to this unjust and offensive system, and
its repeal would cause general satisfaction.
The French semi-official journals are urging
joint intervention on the part of the I:Lilted
btates, France and England, in the war now
raging between Brazil and Paraguay. We do
not Know that this project has received the

seriens countenance of the French Goverri::
ment, bat it is not at till'unlikely that Napo
leon would bp ,willing to arrange such an. en
terprise,for life sake of drverting the French
people from too close a consideration of their
domestic affairs, and also to do something to
atone for his disastrous failure in Mexico.
The English Goiernment will trot be likely to
have anything to do with the matter. Cer 7
tainly we will not agree to any such proposal.
It the United States determined upon actual
interference,England and France would not be
consulted. We do not desire,. either their
advice or adistance in
. any
_emergency that
may occur on this continent But it is pro
bable that there will not be any occasion for
action on the part of either power. Mr. Sew
ard did offer his services as a pacificator, and
was politely snubbed by Brazil. This would
be the fate of a joint intervention, and under
the circumstances, it would be very advisable
for all three of the,parties to attend to their
own business and let that of their neighbors
alone. France will have enough to do if it
looks after the welfare of its people. Eng
land is in the midst of a political revolution,
and we are on the eve of an election in which
mighty principles and the welfare of the
whole country are involved; so all three have
quite enough to do at home, where they had
better remain, for neither Brazil nor Para
guay wants their aid or counsel.
If there is recognition in Heaven, and the
haters and persecutors of, the negro race by
any possibility reach that abode of bliss, they
certainly will not be happy. It would be in
teresting to inquire precisely what views of
the hereafter negro-hating Christians hold.
Either they believe that Christianity is exclu
sively a white man's religion, that there will
be a colored people's Heaven,or that the "infe
rior races" will be inferior, throughout eter
nity. No believer in the mighty doctrine of
equality of all men before their Creator,could,
as in both the northern and southern sections
of this oountry, refuse to sit by the side of a
negro in church, or to commune with him at
the same altar. Indeed, the man who mani
fests repugnance at this, must queerly con
strue the religion of Him who made the
huMblest plebeians his ehosen ministers. But
if aristocratic religion is objectionable in
a layman, is criminal in a clergyman,
whose first duty is to preach the gospel to
the poor and humble. For_this_reasion_we
venture to question the lovely piety, and the
divine appointment of that preacher ir,
Henry County, Virginia, who, the other day.
extended an invitation to the brethren to par
take of the Lord's Supper, and at the sam
time said, "If he knew that any mar,
who bad made up his mind to vote for
the Constitution made by negroet and Radi
vale for the State of Virginia, would attempt
to approach the altar, he would have to walk
over his dead body." In fact he was ready
either to administer the most solemn sacra
ment 'of religion or to have a fight. The
coarse profanity of this blackguard makes hi
case exceptional, and we are glad of it; but
he is only an aggravated representative ofthat
class of Christians who kicked negro Saint-
on earth, with a vague expectation of reach
ing an aristocratic Paradise to which good
white men alone shall go, hereafter. Chris
tians of that stamp will be very likely to go
in another direction, we think.

Alleged Revolutionary Manifesto.
[Pails Correspondence of the London Daily Newel.]
Pants, Tuesday, July 21.—The Pays follows up
the Emperor's Fontainebleau lecture on politi
cal assassination by publishing, with a great
alarum and flourish of trumpets, a bulletin, dated
June 24, 1868, purporting to emanat e ,from "The
Central Committee of Action of the Revolution
ary Commune of Paris," and being an appeal to
insurrection and the murdr of the Emperor.
The Pus asserts that what-it now publishes is a
a copy of a printed paper "circulating
from hand to hand in all ' Paris;"
but its prefatory' article written by M.
Paul de Cassagnac, is scarcely consistent with
this allegation, for the writer says he has `just"
receivedfactum by the post in a sealed
cnvelophl' How, then, does he know that it has
been largely, or at all, circulated in Paris ? I
never in my life saw a document looking more
J.ke a fabrication by one of that peculiar class of
police agents called agent provocateurs, of whom
all French Governments have always had a great
many at their service. It is headed "Libertj ,
Egaliti3 Fraternize; Republique, Francaise," and
begins in this way :
Citizens: There is a fatal hour for citizens as
well as for kings. The irrevocable word which
liberty, in its wrath, hurls at kings, it may also
say contemptuously to peoples—too late! The
time has come to inquire whether or not France
is to live. The tyranny of the Second Empire
has borne the same fruits as the first—the natural
fruit of every reign of a single individual. The
country is in danger. Its danger follows upon
ifs shame, and that is just. Loss of liberty, loss
of honor, loss of capital and credit, loss of all our
physical and moral force, loss of our influence in
the present, of our most noble traditions
of the past, and of our hopes for the
future, loss of our consciences, and of
our confidence in ourselves. Fifteen mil
liards of debt in 15 years! Such is the sched
ule of the Second Empire, worse even than that
of the first. It is time to take counsel for, the
common safety. France can endure no more.
The coup d'etat brought her slavery, the Mexican
and Roman wars disgrace; the perpetual borrow
ing system ruin, and the military law death. Onr
rights, our glory, and our purse are past praying
for. Our very existence Is in question. Vice
rlimpereur means "Death to France." What must
we do? Why, do as be did. A single man made
a coup d'etat against France,, a whole people may
make one for her. Let our cry, then, be Vice la
Prance. Down with the Emperor.

AnGusir 3.—The Government bond market was
firmer in tone, and at the close higher in 1862 s
and old 18655. The orders from the country to
buv bonds for investment are increasing, and
sonic of the large dealers are buying at the bid
ding quotations when round lots are offered to
them. At present quotations the now hoyds of
1865, 1867 and 1868 are lower than they have been
for some time past, and deducting the accrued
interest since July canal to fX per cent in currency
the present quotations range from 107% to 10831 1
against 10931 to 109% ox-interest, the prices at
which they were selling at the beginning of July.
On the 1864 s the three months' accrued interest
is equal to about 23,E per cent., reducing their
net price to 108%@108%. The ten-forties are
higher in proportion than any of the 6 per cent.
bonds, being firm at 10835 to 108%. The 6 per

are firm at 102% to 102%. The foreign bonds,

The money market is without change,easy at 3

Auoifsr B.—The gold market was steady and
the fluctuations today were from 145 to 145%,
with the closing transactions prier to the ad
journment of the board at 146%. The volume
of speculative business was large and the attend
ance in the room good, while the borrowing de
mand was ratberactive, loans having been made
at from one to three and a half per cent. for car
rying. The gross clearings amounted to $54,936,-
000, the gold balances to $1,856,703 and the car
rency balances to $1,986,893. The Alaska draft
for $7,200,000 in coin was endorsed over
to the agents of Baring Brothers in this city, and
collected at the Sub-Treasury to-day by the Bank
of Commerce, and the belief that this amount
will be remitted in , instalments, beginning this
week strengthened the upward tendency of the
premium. The disbursements of coin at the Sub-
Treasury in payment of interest amounted to
$72,000, and the convention of seven-thirties into
five-twentiesag ted $110,650. The imports
of specie at theort last week from foreign
ports aggregated $56,756 making a total of
$4 214,256 size° the Ist of January.
Government securities . continue dull, and this
inactivity would be favorable to depression if
prices Were unduly high; but they are not so, and
hence they 'remain without material change.
Considering that the United States bonds issued
to the Central and Union Pacific Railway com
panies are selling at 103, although both their
six per cent. interest and principal are paya
ble in currency, the gold-bearing bonds
are relatively much cheaper. If we allow for the
difference between coin and currency interest
on the five.twenties of for five years,we find
that they are worth 115 if the currency six per
cents are worth 103, and therefore, entirely set
ting aside the question of redemption in gold or
greenbacks, the five-twenties are relatively below
then value at present quotations, and with the
resumption of activity they cannot but advance
considerably. The price of five-twenties in Lon
don declined tc 71% in sympathy with the rise
in gold; but the exportable bonds failed to syrap a
thin, with this, although those for which there
is only a home market declined slightly.

An Extenwlye Cotton and Woolen BIM
linrned—Loss Upward.. of 0100,000.
.
This morning about half past ono o'clock
a fire broke out" in the extensive cotton
and woolen mill of John BrOwn & Sons, located
at the corner of Moyamensing avenue and'
Moore street. The. establishment comprised
three three storied brick buildings forming
a letter L, and a large frame dye-house, the
whole oceupying a, lot of ground bounded by
Moyamensing attune, Motire street, Williamson
street, amid a small private street. The back
buildings were divided into three parts, and de
signated respectively Nos. I, 2 and 3.
No. 1 was a now building, which was erected
about three months ago. It was 92 feet long on
Moore street by 52 feet wide. The first and se
cond stories formed the weaving department,
and the third story the mixing room.
No. 2 was immediately in the rear of No. 1 on
Moore street, and was 80 feet long by 40 feet
wide. The first floor was the finishing room and
the second and third stories the carding andspin
-ting-ro-oras.
No.' 3 ran at the rear of the premises from
Moore to Williamson street. It was 80 feet long
by 25 feet wide. On the first floor was the engine
and boiler room, the drying room and waste
room. In the second story were the picker room
_tuad_theztorage-rooms.---.The-third-story-was-used—
as assorting and storage room.
Extending along Williamson street, towards
Movamensing Avenue, was a large frame dye
house, 80 feet long by 20 feet wide, containing
apparatus, fixtures, etc.
At the corner of Moyamensing avenue and
Williamson street stands a handsome dwelling,
occupied by Mr. Brown.
The flames originated in the northeast cor
ner of the range of buildings, on Williamson
street. in the engine room on the first floor, and
spread very rapidly throngh the buildings.
The firemen were early upon the ground, and
were soon in service. There was a great scarcity
of water, and it was with the greatest difficulty
that a sufficient supply of water could be ob
tained to enable a steam engine to play up to the
second story of the burning buildings.
The establishment was filled with combustible
material, and the fire shot with almost the rapi
dity of lightning from one building to the other,
and, notwithstanding the greatest exertions
upon the part of the Fire Department, there was
almost a total destruction of the entire premises.
Buildings Nos. 2 and 3, and the dye-house, as
well as their contents, comprising valuable ma
chinery,fixtures, material, stock, &c.,were totally
destroyed. The roof and third story of No. 1
were entirely burned, but the first and second
stories were saved. The looms on the first floor
are in a good condition. but those in the second
story were badly damaged.
The dwelling house of Mr. Brown was saved.
The mills contained a large quantity of valua
ble machinery, the most of which was new, and
there was on hand a heavy stock of material
and manufactured goods. The firm was engaged
In making jeans and satinets, principally for the
New York market. The material used was wool,
cotton and shoddy.
The value of the property is estimated as
follows:
Buildings.
Ainchinery
Material and stock
Total $115,000
Upon this there is an insurance of $45,100.
divined among several companies as follows :
Royal $lO,OOO
North British 10,000
Hartford 4.000
Security of New York 4,000
Phu-nix of New York. 4,000
Manhattan of New York 4,000
Standard of New York 3,000
National of Boston ... , 3,000
Putnam of Hartford 3,000
. .
There had just been recieved within the past
few days forty bales of wool, and there was on
band a large quantity of manufactured goods
boxed up ready for shipment to New York. On
the manufactured goods there was little or no
insurance.
There were 150 persons, men, women, boys
and girls employed in the establishment, and
they will all be thrown out of employment in
consequence of the fire. At the time the flames
were discovered, twenty hands wore at work.
All escaped in safety.
All the surrounding property was saved by the
firemen. For some time there was quite a panic
among the occupants of houses immediately in
the rear of the • burning mill, and many of the
families moved their furnitur e out.
