THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The °BABB intrigue has not yet ripened
at New York. Its bud was, first discerned.
on the twelfth ballot yesterday, but it was
not suffered to expand in an unpropitious
atmosphere. We look for the deielopment
of its full-blovirn beautf to-day. •
"TiVelye bidlotings, being the yseventh to
the sightemith, both inclusive, 'consumed
the entire day, and the Convention then ad
journed to this morning, in such a state of
confused excitement as could be checked in
no ether way but by separation. This ex
citement, which had more than once before,
during the day, been exhibited to
a less extent, was immediately attrib
utable to the •bad feeling which, the
betrayal of PENDLETON• caused among his
friends and to the apprehensions of the
wiser and, cooler heads, that the ex-rebel
element might succeed in forcing HANCOCK
upon, the Convention, in spite of the deep
laiiiplans which Intend the nomination for,
'another. The ten rebel States voted solid'
for HANcocx, and the border States divided,
giving hini, each, about half their - votes. Df
cinirse, it is not the intention to encounter
the disastrons results ''to the party which
would follow such a nomination, effect
ed in such a way.' HANcocs, placed
in the Democratic lead by the votes of
FORREST, WADE HAMIPTON & CO., would
be fatal to any lingermg hopes of success in
the canvass. This illustrates the hollow
insincerity of the movement which, run
ning his vote up to 14Th on the last ballot,
•
would seem to indicate his great popularity.
It is all a sham' on the part,of the Northern
politicians,lwho are playing a deep and, as
they think, a sure game. They dare -tot
nominate HANCOCK in that way, and do not
intend his nomination at all.
New York and Penniylvania united, will.
select the limn. The - y - will keeP carefully
apart until the proper moment arrives,
which may be looked for to-day. The PEN
DLETON game is thoroughly played out.
The shrinkage, carefUlly manipulated by
BELMONT and his coadjutors, has brought
the Repudiator dOwn to a meagre 56, and
the delegates who havel supported him
throughout, feeling that everythingis lost
but their ponor, are now ready to avenge
their wrongs. They will make an example
of Mr. Hpactrinicss first; he has been the
tool of their enemies,-and mcrreover his lo
cality is prejudicial to Mr. Pendleton's pros-
Peet!. in 'U.
The hour for the Chief Justice comes te
dayif at all. The plot is near ita intended de
noument; if not, it will be prematurely
exploded. His strength must be fully de
veloped in this morning'ii billOtings, or he
will finally disappear from the field. In
the latter contingency, a candidate not yet
named will sweep away the honors, and the
likeliest man for that is Cntuuts FnAncis
ADAMS, late our English Minister, and. who
luisjust landed at New York. But--we still
believe that the CEASE movement is
to have a victorious culmination, if the
plans of Wall -street can be earned
out. Delegates,will be governed• more and
more, as this heated controversy progresses,
by= the personal feelings, the jealousies,
rivalries and spites engendered by the con
test. While Mr. Criasg. has thus far stood
in no man's way, he is the only one yet
named of all the candidates' in the back,
ground, for whom ability and experience in
statesmanship may be claimed. We think,
therefore, that he will ultimately be accepted
by those who have no cause to hate him as
well as by those who have always desired
his nomination. _
This morning's session will tell the story.

with few =options, concur in expressing
the opinion - that the Governor should con-,
Yoke a special session of the Legislature; for
the purpose of supplying ttroiti amendments

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : 'THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1868.

' Among la menwits4:uiq'o studied Politics
as a Ei,CtencO if hu'beo!lnietoi axiom that
Rights enjoyed by each pitizen under &par-
ticular government are the exact measure-of
h 4 real *ales and responsibilities thereto.
'Renee; if all citizens are made equab'as they
necessarily are, ina republic so constituted
as to comport with modern ideas, equality of
duties to be performed, involves An equality
of pii;4legeSto be Used. 'Phis' is the bisis
of the sentiment that widely prevails,
though variously modified, that as taxes for
the support of government are not imposed
horizontally - on persons, nor yet upon them
or any ascertained or approximated value,
cruisidered'as knowing or producing ma
chines, but upon real and personal estate,
that property instead of persons, ought to
be chiefly represented in the government,
and the owners thereof have the exclusive
or preponderating control of political con
cerns. They who 'would press this deduc-
downs far as the logic apparently involved
in it will bear, overlook the important fact
that property is not alone held to perform
duties for the government; but only such du
ties as are peculiar and essential to it; while
persons have duties laid upon them, from
which they are not allowed to shrink, and
which often involve the most serio hazards
and exposures, as - was sternly illustrated
during the war when the Draft laid the
commands of the government equally upon
all men , of proper ages, obliging them to in
cur,the dangers of the camp and battle-field.
This superior liability of persons is the form
twin of thS instinct or sentiment that all cit
itiens should share Oqually, in the direction
of public affairs. 'The adjustment of this
conflict between Persons and Property for
the possession of political power, has been
Pretty nearly accomplished in favor of Per
sons, though traces remain in the laws of
most of the States, of the thought that
P,roperty is the genuine ground of participa
lion in governmental authority.
This general idea of Equality in Rights
and Duties is the foundation of the . popular
requirement that taxes upon property'
should be ratable to values; that is, that
while each citizen shall be left at liberty to
invest the accumulations resulting from his
imowledge and industry in whatever forms
of property may suit his convenience or
gratify his tastes, he shall be compelled to
pay in proportion to what he has , towards
defraying the expenses a the government.
Only one exception to : the rigid application
of this rule seems to 'be commonly acqui
esced in; which is, that "articles of luxury
shall be chargeable with higher taxes than
articles of necessity, and in ratio to their in
trinsic uselessness or ostentation. Consid
ering the exception abstractly there SUMS
to be no room for reasonable ob
jection to it; but when an attempt
is made to, determine what articles
shall be reputed and adjudged to be arti
cles of luxury or display, the solution be
comes perplexed and difficult—so much de
pends upon habit, education, fashion, the
degree of civilization, 'and the financial and
social position of different individuals.
Take the appointments and appurtenances
of a modern city or suburban residence, and
sUbjectlhein to the test of absolute - necessi
ty, and the residence will speedily be re
duced to the primitive model of a hole in
the side of a hill, and the edibles• to wheat
in the sheaf and game captured from the
forest;or stream. A sharp analysis of this
sort is foreign to the immediate object in
view, which is to consider not the excep
tion, but the rule itself, which asserts equal
ity in bearing public burdens. '
The recognition of this rule as just and
wholesome, is what occasions the clamor
against the exemption of property invested
in national secarities from the &one measure
of taxation to which other kinds of prop
erty are subjected. It is idle to censure
this clamor, for inequalineweither in Duties
or Rights will produce that result whe.rever
people are free to express their Wads.
Withhold from a man any of his natural
rights and he will grumble if free speech is
left to him. Lay upon him more- responsi
bilities than are laid upon his fellows and
he will break out into fault-finding, unless
restrained by fear of arbitxary punishment., ,
it is precisely so with masses of men.
-
'As ,a general proposition it , is safe and
proper to affirm that property invested in l i
Government bonds shall pay as full a share
of taxes for all purposes as property held 1
in any other form. In the long run this
proposition is certain to be enforced. But
to rest here would be to take a superficial
and mialeadingtiew of the ease.
Duringthe dark days of the Rebellion the
Government had pressing need for laxge
sums of money. Its vast necessities - and
the uncertainty in which the final issue of
the contest was enveloped, shook the public
credit, and Treasury bends were sad 6t 6

to refuse to fulfill, or to interpose techr*
impedimenta to the carrying out, in - good
faith, of their contracts. A merchant or

bettered position-by o k . iiii,g' new loons for
the _cancellation of old ones; and it ought
to terminate controversies on several annoy
ing, points by bringing about specie pay
ments at the earliest practicable day. • The
true path to the preservation of the national
faith, runs in this direction.
Meanwhile the taxes should he equalized,
the taxes on bonds' being made no higher
than taxes on, income ` from other sources,
say from moneys at nterest on bond and
mortgage. In the eof bonds held by
banks an equation f taxes ought to be
made so as to make e amounts levied on
them equal, and no ore, to the sums levied
on corresponding a mints, of capital diff,er
ently invested. W t the people Alemand,
and the laws, ought to accord, is equality of
burdens as well as of rights. . .
SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The very important bill reported, by Mr
I.aliCH, of Maine, f-om the House Commit
tee on Finance, provides for the gradual re
sumption of specie payments asfollows ;
The first section requires •the Secretary,
receiving the legal' tender notes now 'out
standing, in the course of ordinary transac
tions at, the Treasury, to cancel the same
and substitute therefor new notes, the same
in denomination and' amount, payable in
coin one year after date. National Bank
notes, received in thesanie way, to be re
deemed by the banks in legal tenders and the
latter to lie destroyed with the same sub
stitution of coin-notes at twelve months
therefor.
The second section makes these coin-notes
a legal tender for all purposes except to pay
debts expressly requiring - coin, and author
izes the Secretary to re-issue them when
received
The third section empowers the Secretary,
after the coin-redemption of •these notes
shall have commenced, to make there-issues
payable at any shorter period, not less than
three months, in his' discretion. He may
purchase the coin requite for their redemp
tion by the sale of not more than, fifty mil
lions of five-forty bonds, at not less than
par, the interest thereon payable in coin at
six per cent. or lawful money at seven and
three-tenths per cent.
The fourth section prescribes the accounts
to be kept "of legal tenders destroyed and
of coin-notes issued, and directs how the
latter shall bp prepared and authenticated.
Tho fifth section prohibits any &Alter
sale or payment of coin froin the Treasury,
except to pay coin -debts, including therein
"the public debt:where the same is accord
ing to law payible in _coin." ..,
The enactment of thisj)lll, and of the bill
which has already passed the Senate, to le
galize contracts payable in coin, would de
cisively contribute to anTarly reform of the
currency, and of the business of the coun
try, upon the basis of solid and universally
recognized values. It is gratifying to learn
that there are godd reasons for anticipating
these enactments` before the present session.

RsnEL prints, North and South, have
steadily claimed a Democratic victory in
Mississippi. In this, they have been sup
ported by the ex-rebel agents of the Asso
ciated Press in that State, who have con
stantly given to their report. an aspect as un
favorable to the Republicans as inconsistent
with the facts. The latest dispatch claims
some 7,000 majority in that interest, with
all but two, counties heard from. So far Tare.
we from crediting this news, that we con
cur in the opinion of the Nashville Less of
the 6th, which says:
The rebel papers - of the 33th ult. still talk about
having won the election by a majority of from 104330
to I&,ooo—while the Union papers are claiming the
victory by a majority ranging from 3 SOU to 100001.
We are encouraged to hope that the election has
been carried, but by a ret7 small majority.,
Upon general considerations, we should
regret to find that the people of any of the
late rebel States have been so unwise as to
listen to the mischievious counsels of party
spirit, and to be led thereby to reject the
generous and equitable terms of restoration
which have so soon followed the conquest of
their armed , rebellion. Each and all of,
those communities have certainly reason to
feel that they have had enough of the
wretched conseqnences which have followed
the infernal heresy of 1861. For their own
higher interests, as well as for those of the
Republic at large, we weuld far rather con.
gratulate them upon their return to more
rational sentiments, and to a more patriotic
conception of their duty towards a govern
ment which is, and ever will be, their gov
ernment as much as ours. But if any one
of those ten &eta shall continue ,

The following stirring' address has been
issued by the Soldiers' Republican organi
zation of this State, which has already com
menced its labors, and will be heard from in
due time
HEADIVARTERS SOLDIERS' AND, SAILORS' STATE
CENTRAL CONIIITTRE, 105 CHESTNUT STREET.,
PHILADELPIPA, July 6,1868.
COSIIIADES : When the rebel armies were
overthrown and the rebel leaders forgiven
by our magnanimous Chief, the whole world
wonderednt the generosity which pardon( d
men guilty of so great a crime. The least
we expected was that the Government for
which we had fought, and for which so
many had given up theirlives, was secured
against the possibility of another conspira
cy. Bat, warned by history and taught by
our own experience among the misguided
people of the South, we maintained our or
ganizations, and now, in the forefront of
another peril, congratulate ourselves upon
the wisdom of that decision. So
thoroughly have our military brothers
re-united themselves, that only a few
who wore the Union blue can be
induced to join the ranks of the rebel De
mocracy. Our camps extend east and west,
from the Atlahtic to'the Pacific; and there is
not a veteran who does not re alize that the
public danger may Once more call him to
the field. The alarming spectacle of a for
mal combination between the two great col
umns of treason—the rebel army of the
South and the rebel sympathizers of the
North - is the living proof of great impend
ing calamities. These desperate men—the
one side still vaunting their treason against
the country, and the other still boasting of
the aid and comfort extended to them—
profess to be confident of success in the ap
proaching election. The animosity they
bore to our beloved Commander-in Chief
- the candidate of the great Republican
party—survives the hollow gratitude with
which they hailed his liberal terms of peace;
and now, remembering only that he struck
them in the field, and coldly forgetting how
he forgave their great offence, they are toil
ing with superhuman energy to defeat him
for the Presidency, and to place in that
high office a tit successor of its pre
sent guilty occupant. Their hatred of Grant
extends to all our heroio leaders, with one
or two exceptions. The only offence of
these accomplished soldiers is their fidelity
to the country for which they fought. Gen.
George H. Thomas in Tennessee,Gen. Ir
win McDowell in Mississippi, en. George
G. Meade in Georgia, Gen. Canby in South i
Carolina, and General Reynolds in Texas,
with their predecessors, Sheridan, Sickles,
Pope, Swayne and Mower, are proacribed
and slandered like common felons, while
every Union man in the South, black and
white, issubjected to inconceivable cruelty
and opprftMon. This wholesale makryo
lence, looking_directly to the restoration of
the rebel government, teaches us not only
the wisdom and justice of our organization,
but invokes us to renewed efforts in fiivor of
Grant and Colfax, tile standard bearers of
the Republican party, and tor slur gallant
comrades, Rartranft and Campbell, our
standard bearers in the State contest. •
The fundamental ideas of this rebel com
bination are that nothing, has been gained
bythe success of our arms, but that every
thing has been lost. * To forget the sancti
fied dead, to ignore and outrage the'gallant
living, and to remember 'and rawer& those.'
only whose crimes in any other nail=
would have been punished:by death or con
fiscation, is the inspiring motive of our ad.:
Tertiaries. What American soldier does not
feel the insult? What' American citizen
does not burrito resent it/ instead of cnr
dirtily submitting to the laws passed by over
whelming Congressional majorities, and:car
ried into effect for the , grand purpose of re
organizing the South uporithe basis of equal
justice and equal rights, our ?vent adversa
ries openly threaten a new resort to arms.
At, no period in the rebellion have they
been at once so - deflant and so cruel. United
in antagenitin to the laws, to tie national
credit, to the national currency, to the pub
lic peace, and to' those great principles for
which we contended, and succeeded in
maintaining, they Coolly appeal to the peo
ple and ask a verdict in favor of their in
credible crimes. Speaking now for the re

—The rebels in Northern China are again,
reported to have obtained of late severar
successes and to menace once more the.
capital, Pekin. While there can be no)
doubt that the rebellion in Northern China,
is still imitubdned, the reports which have ,
been received during the past two years
about the appearance of rebel armies in the
neighborhood of Pekin have always been
exaggerations, and are likely, to prove so
again.
