THE DEMOCRAT. E. B. HA WLEY & 6 1 0:, Eattiors.. stlitr Wednosday, Oct. 12th, 18 73. • THE last bulletin at democratic head qnartera in Washington on last election day was as I 'Nev York has gone democratic and Cswar has gone to bed. Tweed' Sepubl*ans A significant feature of the New York election is the defeat of the men known as Tweed republicans. These were Win slow, late senator from the Jeffersoa dis trict ; Lewis, from the Erie district, all of whom having served the 'Bleed interest in the last legislature, had the audacity to ask a re-election. Their defeat is an, unmistakable expression of the popular aversion to corruption in office. Those Roosters. THANKSGIVING MISST BE nigh at hand, by the appear?inee of the great number of roosters micertitzed in our Democratic exchanges. They appear like the good, old fashioned breed, reared and fed by the "fanners," and honest yeomanry. •The masses of the country seem to be waking np to the file: that all legislative,rongres• sional and salary grab rowlers, most be kept out of markel, whether Democrat, or Republican. When one is found steal ing from the public crib, or lx•lping him self in any way to his neighbors' corn,thc only safe way is to take off his head, or fasten him up securely, in some backyard chickery. We have fully seen the ill ef fects of allowing them to runloose, dur ing the last few years. The people have seemed to he governed by pedigree alone• If they c.nild trace it to the Republican party, that was all that was required. It did not seem to enter their minds that by this narrow sectionalism and partizan prejudice they were allowing the whole ' - brood to be corrupted. They have awak ened at last. to find that the breed must be changed or the inbredcorruption will eause final dissolution and distraction. End or the Stoke* Trial. The third trial of Stokes ended on Wednesday the 29th, ult., when a verdict of "guilty of manslaughter in the third degree" was rendered. The trial was throughout a , complete farce, and the result is ample proof that every thing must give way to money in New York.— Judge Davis, it is said, appeared to he very much dissatisfied with the verdict; and is passing sentence, said "In rendering this verdict, Stokes, the jury have exhausted, and more than ex hausted, all mercy in your case. No ap peal' to the court can diminish the sentence from the highest penalty affixed tsy the statute in the degree in which yon are con victed, and that is to a light and appar ently trifling as compared with the great crime you have commited. I do not desire to make auy farther remarks on this ease, but shall impose upon you all that the law confers on me power to give, and I only regret that the sentence cannot he more adequate to the crime which rests upon your head. The sentence is that you be imprisoned at the State Prison in Sing Sing, at hard labor, for four p ars. Increased Taxation Threatened. From the Philadelphia Inquirer: Mr. Spinner dimly suggest that au increase of taxation may be necessary if it is deter mined by the government to continue the rapid extinguishment of the national tb bt. The people have never been satis fied that the government was not paying the debt too rapidly and thereby injuring the prosperity of the country. So much of the debt is doe abroad that the goy eminent has, since the close of the war, been depleting our resources and swelling these of distant nations. It is true that when We needed the money tbove nations lent it to ns, but they lent it upon most extravagant terms, and they would be better satisfied to be unpaid than paid.— They do not want the - principal, but the interest, and we have been, at our own great coat, compelling them to receive the principal against their will. It is folly to talk of increased taxes.— The country is too greatly taxed already. Instead of more taxation there should be less, and, if the affairs of the government are wisely and honestly conducted, any increase would be superfluous. But there is no uttempt made to economise--to ren der defalcation and embezzlement un common by the selection of men capable and of undoubted integrity. No meas ures are suggested to stop the extrava gance and fraud; they go on, as if to put no bar to them, increased taxes are advised. Although the recent state elep'- tions show the feeling against the policy of the government, it seems not to have reached Mr. Spinner. The history of the financial department of the government since the war can be best described by the one word, Drain— drain, drain, drain all the time, until et last, busitieza being overtaxed, fulls under th e load,ntul what is called a panic sweeps_ over the lona like a hurricane. There is no necessity for paying the delft as rapidly in the future as in the past, and when this fact is recognized it will be found. there is no necessity to io areas* taxation. VALUATION OF REAL ESTATE. We have been requested by Wm. A. Crossrnon Esq., Commissioners Clerk of this county, to publish the table of in creased valuation of the real estate of this commonwealth, but not having been fur_ Dished with a copy,by the Commissioners, except we take it from the Republican, it came too late for us to insert it this week but we will do.so in our next. We in timated last week that we might bate a few more words to say upon this subject which seems to us an important one to the tax-payers of this county. We find that Thomas J. Bighorn, a State Official, has put upon the real estate an increase of valuation by a multiple varying in dilTerent counties from to 14. This estimate, in an appended note, he claims to have obtained from the various County Commissioners, now In office, with the exception of a few Democratic Counties whose Commissioners have refused to re turn, and in those he has formed his own estimate. The object of this increased valuation need be no query in the mind of any one. The State Treasury hoe been depleted by rascally legislation,and salary increase, until the demand for money is greater than the supply,hence this meth od is taken to replenish it, and by the most infamous and corrupt legislation, in the interest of corporations and monopo lists of all kinds, the whole burdens of thrrinereased loud of ruinous taxation is to be thrown upon the laboring masses, and the real estate of the Commonwealth. One single bill.passed by the last Legisla ture in favor of corporations,which exemp ted them from payment of taxes, on gross receipts, (the only way taxation can reach them,) took nearly f. 4200,000. out of the State Treasury, and others of like char acter were passed. This together with the increase of salary from the Governor to the members of the Constitutional Con• veution, who agreed to work for $l,OOO and then by an "11l tickle you," act of the Legislat ure,t hey increased it to $2,500, has led to the adoption of this Method to supply the deficit. This is done with a pretty bold step, but we suppose that General Grant "saved the country" and he and his nnclerstrappers have a right to dispose of it as their personal interest may suggest. The assessed valuation of this connty in real and personal property is $3,562,- 800, By the increased valuation, that is mal'iplied by 6 which raises it to the enormous amount of $21,376,800. There are 000 square miles of land in Susque hanna County, or 512,000 acres which at the-estimated valuation would be an aver age of $4O per acre. If this estimate was made by the Commissioners for the pur pose of selling the comity to the State, it is a sharp thing, fur we certainly believe that it would be one of the best real es tate sales ever made in this county. Not-' withstanding we have been repeatedly ac cused of misstating when we have assert ed that real' estate has been taxed for rate purp os es, yet nevertheless it is true. We have palid, however, in a lump out of the County Treasury, instead of by a pro rata tax; is all the diference. It has furnished an excellent theme however for Radical orators to howl from the stump that "Pennsylvania pays no tax on real estate," which has been a falsehood, the same as other similar ones, for every year in the "County statement" the item of about $4,000 may be found "paid to State Treasurer." By this increase of valuation, this amount will be raised to about $12,- 000. The people have allowed themselves to be hoodwinked in this as well as various other things, until liberty is being darkly veiled and taxation slavery stares them in the face. These partizan orators and politi cal thieves have howled from the stump, that they "have saved the cou try," todraw the attention of the masses, while their hands were elbow dei , p in the people's Treasury. They Should be given a wide berth by the people, when they exercise their right oithe ballot. Is simple party success, it sufficient remuneration for all these enormous burdens of corruption ? The masses are answering as fast as they have an opportunity of late,:emphatieal ly, No! _O.- ELECTIONS. THE PEOPLE AT THE HELM WISCONSEc A complete revolution bas taken place in Wisconsin, which effectually squelches Mat. Carpenter as far as any chance for re-election to the United States Senate is concerned. The State gave Grant last year a majority of 18,515. The Demo cratic Liberal ticket is now elected by a majority of over 10,000 votes, and they have a large majority of the members in the Legislaiure. Si much for the back pay steal in the State represeutei by the chief offender of that fraud upon the people. VIRGINIA. The conservatives hale made a com plete sweep in Virginia. Kemper is el ected Go% emor by about 40,0G0 majority and the Legislature remains two-thirds Conservative on joint ba'ilot, thus de leatin,g Lewis, the Radical candidate for th'e United States Senate. There was a full vote polled throughout the State. ILLINOIS. Nothing but county officers were to be chosen this year in Illinois. The Repub liitalls have been defeated almost every wbrier the anti-Monopolists. The re turns received thus far show that the Republicuas carry but twelve of twenty. seven of their strongest counties The People'e candidate fur Mayor of Chicago ix elected by 11,000 majority. MARYLAND The contest in Maryland was over a Legislature who will choose a United States Senator to succeed Senator Ham ilton in 1875, and for Comptroller and Clerk of the Court of Appeals, the only . State officers to.he elected this year. The Democratic State ticket is elected by be• tween 13,000 and 14,000. The Demo crats hare a majority in the Legislature OD joint ballet of 73. MASSACHUSETTS. The Democrats have done nobly in this. Radical State. The Republican ma jority; of 74,000 last year has been cut down to about 13,000. All the large ci ties show Democratic gains and Radical Boston, mirabile elicit:, has been carried by the Democrats, as well as Worc,estor and Lowell. The Democrats have elect ed eleven Senators to one last year, and seventy Representatives to twenty-three last year. A fitting result in a State, :he home of Ben. Butler,the President's prin• cipal defender in the advanced salary Steal. MICIIIGAN The interest in Michigan was concen trated upon the candidates for Congress in the Ffth District to elect a Represen tative in the stead of Wilder D. Foster, deceased. This District has been here tofore Republican by about 10,000 ma,. jority, but Comstock, the Democratic candidate, is elected by 200 majority.— The city of Detroit elects 'a Republican Mayor and a Democratic Judge. NP.W JERSEY The Democrats have made handsome gains in New Jersey, but are defeated by a very small majority. The election was for one-third of the members of the State Senate, two-thirds holding over, and a full Assembly. The Republican ma jority in the Legislature, on joint ballot, is 12. The State last year gave a majority for Grant of 14,910 votes. NEW YORK. The election returns thus far received are of a most gratifying character. The DemOcrats of ,the State of New York have achieved a glorious victory,el ecting their State ticket by from 15,000 20,000 majority, making a gain of about 90,000 in one year, the complection of the Legislature being still in doubt, al though the Democrats have gained many mein hers of both [louses. New York City gives 36,000 majority for the Democrutiii State ticket and elects the entire Tammany' City and County tickets over the Custom House and Ap polo Hall coalition tickets, Brooklyn. Al bany, Troy, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and all the principal cities and towns of the State, also give large gains for the Democracy. CArr. John Lanbach, the Republican candidate for Director of the Poor in Northampton eon. t 7, vm al.otetl,6evam of an error made by one of the Demo cratic printing °Mess in printing the name of the Democratic candidate John instead of Jacob. When the certificate of election was served on Capt. Limbach he promptly resigned the office, because a majority of voters intended to elect an other man over him I Such honorable action deserves mention. The Wade Execution WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Nov. 6.—Wade, the murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Mcßride, was executed here to-day, in the yard ad joining the county jail. The arrange ments for the hanging were bungled in the most outrageous manlier, and the execution was little less than torture to the unhappy wretch. The rope being too long bin feet struck squarely on the ground, and in this position be remained shouting "Oh Lord haye Mercy," when the rope came off his neck and hie hod) fell over heavily on the ground. He witi , again carried up on the scaffold, and af ter a long delay in arranging the rope. the drop was again pulled and he fell, this time less than three fret. His pulse continued to beat for seven minutes and after having twenty-seven minutes, he. was placed iii a coffin and takeu charge of by his friends. Many pikes of the rope were cut off and carried away as mi ke hy spectators. A few days ago Wade was visited by a reporter, who asked hum why he killed the old man Mcßride and his wife. In answer he stated that an old woman who had taken care of Mrs. Mcßride in a late sickness bad told him that there was a large amount of money in their house, m9ney that had been accumulating for twenty years. LIVING ADVERTISEMENTS. A medicine that has done more than all the prescriptions of the pharmacopeela to protect the human system against the bodily ills super induced by unhealthy surrriundings, is certainly worthy of universal confidence. It is mainly on account of Ifs extraordinary• preventive pro perties that Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters is so exceedingly popular in localities subject to the visitation of miasmatic fevers and other diseases produced by empoisoned air. A family that hes escaped sickness during a sickly season in con sequence of using the Bitters as assfezuardjs a living advertisement of the virtues of the pre paration. The whole neighborhood realize the fact. "I couldn't have believed it," says one, "1 scarcely credited the advertisements: bra one must believe what one secs," says another. "It is the very thing we need In this unwhole some section ofcountrv," remarks a third. And the result is that the instinct of self-defence, the first law of nature, induces three-folntlis of that community to obtain supply of the great vege table antidote before the next sickly season sets in. In winter, when the system requires extra vigor and elasticity to enable it to baffle the ef fects of damp and cold, the Bitters will be found particularly serviceable. Rheumatism will not be apt to fitsten upon muscles and nerves that have been bmced up by this excellent invlgor , ant and nervine ; nor will the severities of the season, which have arch a disastrous effect on the pulmonary organs of the feeble and delicate be likely to exercise the sameuntoward inffnen eta in cases where the stomach and the eater• nal surface of the body (which always' syrups tbiz..es with the digestive organs) have been toned and stimulated by a course of the restora- tive. The fits of indigestion and irregularities of the bowels which proceed from sudden changes of weather may always be averted by a timely use of the Bitters. vistritalteß NOTlCil—tfaving been In the lemur- Z. mace Bee faces for &helmet seven years.
