As an exchange remarks, the Republi can papers of the State have discovered a terrible mare's nest in the legal opinion of Judge Sharswood on the question wheth er greenbacks are a legal tender; that, is, to illustrate the matter, if John Smith lends to Thomas Jones one hundred dol lars-in gold, he agreeing in writing or otherwise, to discharge the debt in like money, shall Jones be, allowed to repay his friend •Smith in greenbacks, they be rit - ErB - t. 7 - An—arty-Fur cu. r This was the question before Judge Sharswood, and he promptly decided tnat no such fraud should be commi lied. What you lend me a hundred dollars in gold to-day with a positive promise on my part that I will repay you in gold to morrow, and then, when4o-morrow comes I shall be allowed to step forward and discharge the debt in paper promises to 111 -paper depreciated to the extent of one third its face ? The idea is simply preposterous. And this is the extent to which the Sherwood opinion goes. Bat the friends of the nutmeg candi date, Judge Williams, of Connecticut, in their foolish endeavors to break down Sharswood, have sprung upon themselves a most effectual trap. The whole eof the story, in a nutshell, is this : The county of Allegheny, embracing the Pittsburg region, where Williams lives, issued its bonds, for certain im profements in the County. After the mat ter was over, the bonds issued, and mon ey raised on the same, this man Williams does not deny that he was in favor of repudi ating the bonds ; thereby cheating his neighbors and friends who had loaned the money for the purpose of improving the very region in which he lived. Truly this Yankee trick was worthy the best days of his witch-burning ancostors. The German Radicals Leaving the Republican Party. At a German meeting held in Chicago, the other night, Herman Raster, editor of the Illinois Stoats Zeitung, made a speech. Referring to the fanaticism of the Radical party, he said: "As he had advised his German friends to leave the Democratic party in 1854, as eagerly would he now advise hia2German fellow Republicans of 1868 to part company with a party that has recklessly adulterated its national pro gramme by New England sectionalism." The Germans -are rapidly cutting loose from Radicalism. The "stupid Dutch" are beginning to understand the Yankees in the West as they do in this State.— Judge Williams, of Connecticut., cannot deceive them in Pennsylvania. Zilitary Appointments. Gen. Grant, acting Secretary of War, has issued orders in compliance with the wishes of the President as follows: In consequence of the illness of General Thomas, be has assigned General Hancock to General Sheridan's place. The latter is ordered to report at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for service under Gen. Sherman. General Hancock assumes command of General Sheridan's department tempora rily. So soon as Gen. Thomas recovers from his illness he will proceed to New Orle4ns under the original order, No. 71. Gen. Canby.has been assigned to the command of the Second Military District, Q.L.1.113 iroliavod 3 ovaa it is believed that Gen. Hancock or Gen. Meade . will shortly receive orders to re lieve the windy and incompetent Gen. Pope, in command of the Third Military lifaiarchY, consisting of the States of Georgia, Alabama„,M.ississippi, and Flor ida. Sickles is ordered to proceed to New York, and report by letter to the Adjutant General. It is said that Judge Williams, the Radical candidate for the Supreme Court, wrote a letter to the Negro Equal Rights convention, which met in Reading last week, in which he promised the darkies his personal and official (if elected) influ ence to secure for them equal political rights' in Pennsylvania. The receipt of tha letter is acknowledged upon the ruin ideal, we are informed, but it was deemed jaexpedient to give it publicity. If such letter has been written by the Judge to ihemtgrces, Should be published as an ire of justice - to the white voters of the te• • y..--Despite grand " Moral ideas," the morality status of the New England States , is getting 'very low. Quite a num ber of most revolting crimes have lately been perpetrated in that section. 'Stanton. In the autumn of ;1861, nearly six months subsequent to the breaking,ont o f the war, and some two months after the battle of But Run, Mr.. Edwin M. Stan ton, late of the. War Department, was a leading Democratic politician in Wash ington, and that time he denounced, in unsparing tents, the policy and con duct of the Republican Party. A very few months subsequent to this period he became a member of Mr. Lin coln's Cabinet, and then insisted that the Republican party bad all the time been pure and patriotic, and bad been acting in the strictest conformity to the Constitu tion. He was 'assigned to the War De partment, where he is said to have exhib ited energy and activity in the business of recruiting, equipping, transporting and supplying the armies, bat where he also proved himself to be a compound of bru tal passion, pitiless malignity and cold blooded selfishness. The' tyrannical use which he made of 'power when dealing with the weak and helpless, will render his name a shame and a reproach to this country throughout coming time, and his refusal to exchange prisoners leaves him forever answerable for the priva.ions and sufferings which were endured at Ander souvme null cierovrtmc c in tlacs Du. a/. Tice whole truth has not yet been told on this point, but the charge against him will be one day overwhelmingly proven, never more to be disputed. Some of the 'wit nesses are those of his own household.— Among their statements the following one, made by Mr. Brown, of the N. Y. Tribune, is conclusive. He says: " Mr. Richardson and myself spent nearly a week in the national capital after our escape,' endeavoring to do all that was possible for the release of the five brave men in the hands of the enemy ; and every one we met there told the same story, that the Secretary of War was the obstacle in the way of the resumption of the exchange. "Moreover, General Butler, in his speech at, Lowell, Mass., stated positively that he had been orderd to put forward the negro question to complicate and pre vent exchange. Col. A. B. Streight, of Indianapolis, a fel!ow prisoner with us in the Libby, told Mr. Richardson, after our return to freedom, that, in an interview between the Secretary and himself, the former declared to him the government could not afford to exchange able-bodied men for skeletons. Other officers and-ci vilians, whose names I cannot now re member, assured me that he had used to them the same language in effect; and there is no doubt whatever that this was his policy and his determination until the clamors of the people compelled him to retire from his barbarous position. Eve ry one is aware that, when the exchange dior4ake place, not the slightest alteraticn had occurred in die question, and that our prisoners might as well have been re leased ci i stitoc-n oeloh.lacs ..• resumption of the cartel, which would , have saved to the Republic a least twelve or fifteen thousand heroic lives: That they were not saved is due alone to Mr. Edwin M. Stanton's peculiar policy and dogged obstinacy ; and, as I have before remarked, he. is unquestionably the dig ger of the unnamed graves that crowd the vicinity of every Southern prison with historic. and never to be forgotten he roes." * If General Grant was in his campaigns reckless of human life, something may be forgiven to a man who rode in the front of battle himself. But what an infamous Memory does he deserve who, in the safe . recesses of his office, coolly consigned to ageny, and death thousands of those for wlioai be was hypocritically professing his warmest love and admiration. More of the Radical Tax Swindle. Northampton county, which paid $5,- 962.87 in taxes to the State for 1806, and the same amount ror 1867, has been called upon for the sum bf $7,796.59 extra, for each of .those years, by the Radical State officials. In 18,66 the people of North ampton county paid 85,962.87, but for 1867 they are.'required to pay $21,556.95 —more than three-and-a-half times more than the former amount ! Besides this, the same original assessment that was paid in 1866 is demanded for 1867, show ing that the real estate tax has not been remitted, but is demanded in addition to the extra =opts. The demand for such vast sums of money from , the several counties of,the Commonwealth shows, most unmistaka bly, the immensity of ? Radical extrava gance, not to say robbery, during the past . three or four years. had State affairs been properly managed no such demands would be necessary. Will the taxpayers continue to support a party whose leaders not only double and triple the taxes, but go back to past years with such swindling bills, for which there is no law and certainly no show of justice? Judge Sharswood is opposed to the repudiation of any contract. The Re-, publicans of Allegheny county repudiated a portion of the railroad bonds issued by them for the benefit of Pittsburg, and but for a Democratic Supreme Court, would have - repudiated them entirely. The Pitts burg' Post, which was the only paper in the city that did not favor repudiation, is the organ of the DemoCrats. It declares that the voice of Judge Williams was never raised to defend the rights of tru'st ing creditors when fepudiation was at tempted. Let that be remembered ! Let the bondholders, make a note ofit? - 2 -Daring Mr. Stanton's administration scores of Radicals at Washington city had the free use of Government horses for use or pleasure, without'a cent of cost to themselves. This is now stopped, and the expensive stud will be dispensed with in future. IFacts for Taxpayers. The Legislature of 1847, under the ad ministration of Gov. Shunk, Democrat, cost only $57,819.19. The'Legislature of 1867, under the ad- Ministration of Gov. Geary, Radical, cost $265,061.16. From these figures it will be seen tbat the Radical Legislature under a Radical Governor has cost MORE THAN FOUR AND oNE-13,1Lx . times a greater sum than a Democratic legislature under a Democrat ic governor. _. Is it possible that the people of Penn sylvania will longer tolerate such bare faced robbery of the Treasury. If the so-called Union League were avowedly a band of thieves and the Radical party composed of robbers, a worse state of tiffairs could not be expected. Besides this the Radical Legislature of 1867 passed an appropriation bill amount ing to the enormous snim of over three million dollars, hundreds of thousands of which should have remained in the Trea sury to pay off the State debt and to re lieve the people of future taxation. After thus depleting the State Treasury of every available cent, this same Radical adminis tration has now gone back to 1866—one year after making the triennial assess ment, and after the regular assessment of State tax for 1866 had been paauand demanded from each county an addi tional amount of tax, in many instances equal to and in some greater than the original tax assessment. The same demand has also been made for 1867, and thus not less then six hundred thousand dollars additional State tax will have to be paid this year by the people in order to meet the reckless extravagance and rascality of Radical politicians. How do the taxpayers like this prospect ? Reports from six counties in regard to this matter form the following startlincr exhibit : Tax. 1867. Extra. 186174. Allegheny $7,690 20 $.51,086 12 Berke 8,724 28 10,8119 08 Fayette 5,275 00 • 10,342 00 Indiana 5,476 81 4.113 40 Westmoreland 3,534 30 10.908 46 Tork S 648 28 10,932 78 $36,649 87 ' $1082,151 fl• 1 . 36,649 87 Total tax and extra for 1867 Regular tax paid in 1666 ... Increase for 186 over 1518 From the above it will be seen that taxation for the prexent year is almost trebled in six counties of the Stale! In 1866 the tgx on real and personal estate for the whole Commonwealth, including the one half mill tax, (*39,914,) was $919,258 00. [See Auditor General's Report for 1867.] From this the reader may easily guess the grand total which the Radical officials hope to wrest from the taxpayers—some thing like $2,700,000 001 It may as well be remarked that the tax on real estate, which was remitted by the Legislature in 1866, seems not to have been taken off for 1867, as the general assessment for this gear is the same as that for 1866. Are Cr people prepareu iur Lucas gigaurcrc burdens ? But, this is not all. Those same Radi cal officials authorized a State loan of twenty-three million dollars, with which to pay off a similar amount of the old debt. They made their loan free from State tax, and agreed to pay six per cent. interest. This is to go to cancel the old loan upon which the State had always levied a tax. By this scheme the State is directly robbed of an annual sum of fully $450,000, and nobody but Radical poli ticians of capital are the gainers. Can the people stand such a course of depletion of State revenues on the one hand and increase of taxation upon the other? They cannot. It is impossible. There must be retrenchment—there must be reform—there must be a great change made in the Legislature. For four years, during which the Radical politicians have dominated, matters have gone from bid to worse, until the people are fairly groaning beneath the burden of taxation. If the people do not make a change at once, a grievous poll tax, and a grinding revenue and income tax, like those levied by the Federal Goveriment, will become absolutely necessary to raise money enough to satisfy the rapacious cravings of the Radical politicians. These aro simply " words of soberness and truth," and if the people are wise they will heed them and give the subject that attention which it demands. Another Threat! Old Thad is on the rampage again. The following threat from the malignant Dic tator and Disunionist appeared among the regular dispatches from New York a short time ago: . "Thaddens Stevens writes that he will offer a bill at the next session, providing for the confiscation of the estates of those rebels and slaveholders who discharge their negroes for voting the Republican ticket." —While Stevens was in Congress, years ago, as a .Whig member, workmen were discharged by their employers in his own county and in New England for voting the Democratic ticket; and one of his constituents—a prominent Republican of Lancaster—offered a resolutiod in the so called " tnion" League during the late war, that the Republicans should (tease having any business or social relations with Democrats. But nobody then dream ed of visiting them with legal penalties for so doing.- We live in a different era now, however, under the despotism of the negro:loving "party of freedom and pro gress." It was all right then to persecute and proscribe white men for exercising the right of suffrage in accordance with their own judgment; but it is all wrong now to administer the same kind of medi eine to Sambo! The negro is a peg higher in the estimation of Stevens and his party than the poor white laboring man, and must be _protected at the expense of the latter. The world keeps moving, along, and great is Old Thad the Dictator! A New Work on Book Keeping, AND A NEW AND IMPROVED SYSTEM OF We have, on various occasions, taken great pleasure and pride in alluding to the eminent success and increasing pat : ronacre ofihis decidedly praiscworthy and progressive institution, "The Elmira 14 siiiess College, Elmira, N. Y." ( The Principal of this College, Prof. A. -, J. Warner, has nearly completed for the use of this Institution and the Counting I Houses', a new work, of several hundred pages, on Double and Single Entry Book Keeping. It, will .prove a valuable work, embra cing improved and labor-saving forms, a new classification of accounts, commer cial correspondenoe, a thorough course of commercial calculatiops and business forms; and to it will be appended what has long been needed—a Commercial Diet iouary. In addition to this, Prof. Warner has already arranged, to aid in the success of this College, a new and improved system of Business Penmanship, free from orna ments, plain and legible. In addition to the manifold other at tractions, arrangements have been made whereby the students will be permitted to attend the course of Lectures, free of charge. The Lectures have been selected from the most profound writers and ora tors of the age. Every .effur t is being made to place this College on a basis that will render it wor thy the name it bears, and at the same time stand second to none in the whole country. No better recommendation is needed than the fact that both in Elmira and pla ces adjacent, the graduates of this Insti tution occupy the very first positions.— This school has already given the di&rent offices, banks, mercantile houses, and oth er business places, in this part of the coun try, their best clerks, and some of them, though fresh from the College, ate receiv ing salaries of XBOO to $lOOO per year.— Tuition for full course is *35.

The Journal will hardly be prepared for the information that this resolution, now so offensive to it, is copied, word for word, from the Chicago Republican Platform of 1880, upon which Mr. Lincoln was nomi nated and elected, and which the Journal of May 26, 1860, endorsed as " a platfm-m which we pre sure will be acceptable on all sides." Doti our neighbor mean, by his present denunciation of the resolution, to insinuate that the Republicans were a "Secesh Party" in 1860? Probably not. But the awkward trap into which he has fallen proves that it takes a more wide awake editor than he is, to keep the run of the ever-changing "principles" of his part y.—Reading Gazette. - The Exchange of Prisoners. The telegraphic dispatch from Gen. Grant to Gen. Butler, in August, 1864, is reproduced in the New York Tribune, as forming part of Gen. Butler's report to the Committee of Congress - in relation to the exchange of prisoners. The, Tribune says : "In August the rebels offered to re new the exchange, man for man. Gen. Grant then . telegraphed the following im portant order : 'lt is hard on our men held in Southern prisons not to exchange them, but it is humanity to those left in ranks to fight our baffles. Every man re leased on parole or otherwise becomes an active soldier against .us at once, either directly or indirectly. If we commence a system of exchange which liberates all prisoners taken, we will have to tight on till the whole South is exterminated. If we hold those caught, they amount to no more than dead men. At this particular time to release - all rebel prisoners North would insure Sherrnan's defeat, and would compromise our safety here.' " This is a clear avowal of a policy, and appears to relieve the Confederate author ities of the responsibility which it has been attempted to fasten on them of refu sing to make an exchange. —The "Equal Rights League of Penn sylvania" (negro) endorses Judge Wil liams. At the late meeting of the league in Philadelphia, it was declared by one of the speakers that if elected he would use his official position to secure suffrage and all political privileges for the negroes in this State. It was resolved that the in fluence of the association should be thrown in his favor. —The Negro Bureau is constantly sending tiegree's into the Northern States —distributing them in small lots at a time to prevent notice. This is evidently done in view of the fact that the Rump Con gress intends, at its neat session, to en force negro suffrage upon all the States. Judge Williams, the Radical candidate,is an ally in the scheme, and should there fore be defeated at the polls. BUSINESS WRITING Nicely Caught ! Ncytivit is the Time roma 3134straittias.

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and form ing, with Its western connections, an unbroken line across the continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer to the public. The first question asked by pro. dent investOts is, "Are these bonds secure?" But, "Are they a profitable Investment?" To reply In brief: Ist. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific It as certain as any future business event can be. The Government grant of ores t wenty Million acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically g,narantees it. One fourth of the work is already done. and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are leaned op. on what promises to he one of the most profitable lines of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific; sad b ing without competition, it can maintain remunera tive rates. 3d. 425 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, &c., and two trains are daily running each way. The materials for the remaining 92 nines to the eastern haseof the Rocky Mountains are on band, and it is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished are sereral time greater than the gold interest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and If tot another mite of the road were built, the part already completed would not only p y Interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. sth. The Cnion Pacific Railroad bonds can he issued only as the road progresses. and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bcna fide property. 6th. The irnmonnt is strictly limited by law to a atm equal to what is granted by the U. S. Government, and for which it takes a second lien as its securit y. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only $l6OlO per mile. 7th. The.fact that the U. S. Government considers a second lien upon the road a good investment, and that some of theshrea den railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to.them a third lien), may well inspire eon& deuce inn first lien. Ath. Although it is not cialrogd that there can be soy better securities than Governments, there are parties Al ho consider a first mortgage upon such a property se this the •ery best security in the world, and who sell their Governments to re•invest in these bonds—thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued In. terest, th-y are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 per cent. less than B. S. Stocks. 10th. At the current rate of premium on gold, they pay Over ,Nine per Cent. Interest.
