Trce next important State election takes

State elections are also to be held, and the

Presidential struggle in every State of the
Union,
Trim Southern rebel press are frequently
reporting the "telling and eloquent" speech
es of "colored orators," delivered before
Democratic andiences—white and , black.
It would be a good thing if .the opposition
,would import' one or two of these % Demo
cratic orators into this county; to support
the miscegenation ticket with speeches in
favor of a white man's Government.
IB ANT op on Republican' - friends have
suffered themselves to be persuaded that the
President would forego all his objections, to
the plan upon which seven of the Southern
States are now restored to the 'Union, or
that he would hereafter co-operate cordial
ly with these new governments in the
maintenance, f their legal authority, they
were simply mistaken in the man, and re
markably oblivious of the consistent obsti
nacy which has marked three year's oppo
sition. Reports have been plenty, of-late,
that XL JOHNSON had expressed his deter
mination to reorganize these governments as
altogetherlegal, and to uphold them as - such
with the Federal anthority, but we have hes
itated to pin our faith upon these rumors.
We are prepared to believe that he will de

with a hope thereby to drive the colored
voters into the support of the Democratic
ticket, _ • Remarking that an employer, who
would thus attempt to coerce a black voter,
would need only ; the proper inducement to
apply the same tactics of intimidation or
briberfid his poorer white neighbors, we,
planonnad it a flagrant - and decisive proof
of the m*erlying principle of-Aristocracy
Which controls that 'party., Mr. ,Penn'
OFFICE
Mr. WALLACE, Senator from the Clear
field district 'and Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, has obtained among
his co-partizans a reputation for unsurpassed
adroitness in political strategy. How this
reputation was acquired it. is impossible to
determine, for no facts with Which the gen
eral public are cognizant, and no statements
made by the persons who appear to believe
in the genuineness of it, impart to it a color
of reality. He has conducted several State
canvasses in behalf of the Democrats, and
though he has made aparade of mystery and
given assurances of, vast results in expect
ancy, no important results have proceeded
from his engineering, except that last year
by resorting to shameful and criminal
frauds upon the purity of the elective fran
chise, he succeeded, by a meagre majority,
in - getting Mr. SHAREIWOOD elevated to the
Supreme bench ; and even that would not
have happened, had the Republicans of Al
legheny or any one of a score of counties
been as alert and vigilant as usual.
At Pottsville, a few days ago, Mr. WAL
LACE addressed a Convention of his party,
and in doing so took occasion to develop
his plan for the campaign now in progress,
He said
"I come on pr o duc t) nd if I can meet you as I
wish, It may b e ve of gated. What. business
is more important than that which tends to the pres
ervatlon of the lives and property of citizens? I ask
the same attention to this In the spirit which you
attend to your private business. The successful
merchant attends strictly to the details of his busi
ness; ilkewlee the mechanicadd the farmer. Poli
tics le a business; and must, if we intend to be suc
cessful, be attended.to with care and fidelity. "tr
uant:afros* the bottom not from the top down.
We must pay close attention to the details. What
arc those details?. Simply, to write down the names
of all Democrauy_ of all Republicans and of all
doubtful voters. Have an executive committee that
shall attend to this. Subdivide . your election dis
tricts, and bring all the weight of your influence to
bear on the doubtful once to change them.

thing. (Jo to your executive committee and it will

organizing. The materiat tor the work is in the
hands of the County Committee. Form clubs and
rent.entmr if we carry the Key etone State in Udober,

inyptsial is October."
Now, we do not believe in "still hunts."
Mr. WALLAcu made something in that way
last year; but not , mainly; because he and
his party were "still" but because the
Republicans unwisely, remained much
"stiller." The minority party can some
times afford to be . quiet, provided the ma
jority party will. •But the Republicans of
Pennsylvania are not quiescent this year,
and will not be. They have nearly perfect
ed the preliminary work of organization,
and are about ready to impart thereto the
momentum that can only be secured by
frequent and grand public demonstrations.
The best train,' ever laid needs fire to.make
it effectual. - .
But, we suspect that Mr. WALLACE, un
der his preference for silent operations,.
masks a sinlater design. In plain -Witfdll,

ty, of late, as an orthodox exponent of.
Democracy, now comes to make our point
good. In his latest Columbia speech, he
says: :"Let us, not employ in the future,
any one, white or black, who gives his aid
to the Republican party.'" It is impossible
to deny that this means proscription for
opinion's sake; that the poor man shall
vote as his employer directs, or lose his
situation. A well known Democratic lead
er defends the prineiple, but we ash our
Democratic readers one and all, if they sus
tain it, or if they On continue to adhere to
a party which avows this abominable claim,
to interfere with the political opinions of
any voter who chances to be so poor that
he must labor in the employ of another.
ilesfrrox's speech, from which we quote,
is published in full and editorially praised
in the New York World of the 11th inst.
Read it and reflect upon it, workingmen !
THE TWENTY-THIRD DISTRICT.,
The Republican Conferees for, the Twen
ty-third district will meet again at Freeport
on next Monday. We respectfully suggest
to these gentlemen that the bulk of their
constituents are weary of their pmcrastina
tioh. It is clearly their duty ko agree upcn
an acceptable candidate without further de
lay, or, failing therein, to turn over prompt
ly the performance of that duty into other
hands. It is well known that we prefer
Mr. THOMAS Witz.mms shall be returned
to the seat he has honored by his learning,
genius and fidelity. But, if the representa
tives of Butler and Armstrong counties are
immovably determined not to consent to
that, then they ought to agree among them
selves what they will do, and do it forth
with. The case is completely at their dis
posal. •
According to our understanding, the Re
publicans of Butler and Armstrong Coun
ties do not so much object to Mr. WILLIAMS
as to the fact that the Allegheny portion of
the district has supplied the member for ten
or twelve years in succession. But it seems
,that Butler is just as unwilling to have the
member taken from Armstrong as to have
him continued in Allegheny, while Arm
strong is fully as decided in opposition to
selecting the member from Butler county.
To ask the Allegheny conferees to step
in and decide the controversy between the
other two counties is:under the existing cir
' cumstances, altogether unreasonable. If
those counties cannot reconcile their own
differences, the best thing they can do is to
put Mr. WriasAsis on the course again. If
they can agree, they ought to waste no
more time before doing so.
The Allegheny. Conferees have suggested
that the best way out of the dilemma was to
submit the selection of the candidate to a
popular vote. Mr. WILLIAMS. is content
that this should be done. If the Conferees
of Butler 'and Armstrong cannot pnt aside
the disagreement disaereement that exists among them so
as to make a candidate without the interven
tion of the Allegheny Conferees, why not
adopt this proposition, and let an early day
be named on which the election shall be
held? This is certainly fair and honorable,
and no valid objection can be raised to it.
THE DEMOCRATIC GAME.
give think he `hat infriamie
oT
carrAng-..the State' for - Sainitora and
Brain, but -has an indistinct hope that he
may secure such a Legislature as will send
him to the United States Senate as successor
to Mr. BricxxLaw. Such a scheme requires
for its consummation a good deal of secresy
and quiet. If the people shall not be aroused,
it will be comparatively easy for him to
colonize from strong Democratic counties
into weak Republican ones, and to such a
degree as to give the Democrats the Legis
lature, while the Republicans roll up a
round majority for GRANT and COLFAX.
That is precisely the game the Democrats
played n Ohio last year. Regarding the
Governor as in doubt, there made their
ostensible fight on the State oflicera, but
directed their secret labors to securing
doubtful and close legislative districts.
With the Legislature in their possession they
aimed at recasting many of the enactments
which bore the impress of Republican
policy, and at securing an United Slates
Senator in place of Mr. Wenn. Upon an
ittperfectly full vote they succeeded. The
ajority of Mr. HAYS, the "Republican can
didatei for Governor. was cut down to 2,-
983, but the Democrats carried both branch
es of the- Legislature by eight majority on
joint ballot. They gained the United States
Senator.
A plot exposed, is most commonly a plot
defeated. The Republicans know what Mr.
WALLACE Is about, and mean he shall not
make his point. Let hiin remain as quiet as
he will, the hunt will not be a still one.
'We think, moreover, that 'even if he
should succeed in erecting a Democratic
Legislature, -he would not succeed in grasp
ing the prize he covets. But that does not
concern us; nor is the point likely to be put
to the proof. The Republican masses are
already in motion, and will take care of the
Senatorship as well as of the Presidency.
THE BURTHEN OF FEDERAL TAX-
ATION.
The direct taxes of the United States, col
lected by the Revenue officers, which es
pecially concern the people at large, are
derived from licenses, incomes, watches,
carriages . and plate. Being curious to know
the precise extent of the grievance which, as
to Democratic representations, the
people are sullected to, from these "op
pressive burthens" we made some inquiries
a few days since in the proper quarter, for
the figures of the Allegheny City, or XXlqd,
collection district. This district combines
the populous and wealthy city of Allegheny,
with the rural counties of Butler and Arm
strong, and, as a whole, may be regarded
as affording , a fair, average expression of the
character and etent of this "oppressive"
Federal taxation )throughout the Common
wealth. We have the result as annexed, the
figures showing the number of tax-payers:
Watches,
Estfmceed Pop- Lfce.-
Ca a rr n icye
ula:ton. eel. Income,. Plate.
Allegheny City.... 60,000 2,m2 1,663
Armstrong County. 40,000 768 106
Butler. County 40,000 478 -7 9
Total 140,000 3.349 2,163 1,301
It appears that the city returns one-half
of the.revenue for licenses, over nine tenths
of the income-tax, and very nearly the
same proportion of the tax upon watches;
carriages and plate. - Apart from licenses,
but thirty-six citizens of Butler county, with
its 6,600 votes, have the slightest acquaint
ance with the Federal tax-gatherer, and in
Armstrong, with 6,800 votes, but two hun
dred and thirty-five citizens, some of them
fer Ales, are similarly "oppressed." And
these "victims," for whom the Democracy
begs the sincere commiseration of "an over
burthened people," being unfortunate
enough to have incomes exceeding $l,OOO
each, with watches, carriages,. plate and
other badges of privation . and destitution,.
certainly present a very strong case for
Democratic sympathy.
In the city, we find, on the other hand, the
case of personal hardship to be still strong
er, and Vie 2,032 possessorEl of comfortable
income, exceeding $l,OOO over legal draw
backs, and the 1,063 poverty-strickerfand
tax-bnrthened people who huve gold watch
es, nice carriages worth over $lOO each, and
cupboards full of silver plate, are waiting
with the most hopeful confidence in the
efficiency of the appeals of these Democrat
ic champions, for the gushing sympathy of
the Democracy of the rural districts, who
are to vote early and often this fall to take
off this terrible load of taxation from their
shoulders.
Of course, too, the 140,000 or the 150,000
population of the entire district are expected
'to feel deeply for the miserable fate of the
8,349 manufacturers, traders and dealers,
lawyers, doctors and horse-keepers, who
are thus compelled to contribute from their
hard earnings to the payment of the debt in
curred in the first Democratic rebellion.
Query ? If we are to have a second one, as
promised by Bfotru and SEYMOUR, how
much _km will they have to pay? The
masses of the people are entreated by these-
Democratic opponents of taxation, to help
in removing this' fearful buithen from the .
grocer at the next corner, the butcher in. the
Diamond, or the lawyer whO gets from ten
to fifty dollars from his client for putting on
his spectacles and looking very solenuily
wise. Yes, certainly, we sympathize deep
ly with our license-oppressed Mends, but
a good many of us think it well that they
should be chastened a little longer with that
sort of affliction. •
But, senousip the figures above quoted
for one district, expressing as they do a fair
average for all, show the infinite humbug of
this Democratic •fol-de•rel about the l'bur
thens of taxation." We should be very
glad to see ell these taxes repeal 4 W e
should never,hfive had them, had "petnat"
racy" kept its rebel hands off from the old
flag. But, such as they are, and the fruit
as they are of Democratic misrule *former
days, .they present no foundation whaterff,
for the hueguld•cry which. Democratc as.
surer= la niaking. They-show that of the
more than 18,000 voters' in the `two rural i
counties, but 271 have any cause whatever'
to
,heed the coming of the - Federal tax
gatherer. , Not over two per cent., , at the
most, of the masa of t- 7 .e voters have any,
occasion to trouble- themselves' about Uncle
liffl
Sam's tales ''ln the cltic the percentsge
is isenteinatlarger, owing to the 'greater
concentration of wealth and the more preva;
lent luxury of dress and livinV And yet
our Deniocratic 'apostles of popular rights
would have it believed that the great body of
the people, the poor as well as the rich, are
ground into the dust by the oppression of
taxes ! The authentic figures will dispose
of that story in other districts as completely
as in the XXIIId, which we quote above.
STATE POLITICS.
Mr. H. L 4; CAKE, Republican, fhe present
Representative in Congress from the Tenth
District, has no competitor for the nomina
tion this year.
The unanimous re-nomination of Mr.
Deem J. Mounna. for Congress by the
Republicans of the Seventeenth District,
was an act of wisdom, as well as a testi
monial to a gentleman who has few superiors
in practical ability.
On the 4th inst. Mr. TuomAs E. FRANK
LIN, of Lancitst7, declined being a candi
date for COngresS in opposition to Mr.
THADDEUS STEVENS. The death of the
latter gentleman may bring on acontest be
tween Mr. Fwalux and'Mr. .134Mizy for
the successicin to the vacated place.
Mr. Jour( CESSNA has Franklin, Fulton
and Bedford counties in his favor, which
must give him the Republican Congressional
nomination in the Sixteenth District. There
are very few abler men in the Common
wealth than he is. .
The Demoorats of the Fifteenth District
have re-nominated Mr. A. J. GLOSSIIRENRR
for Congress.
Mr. WAfiIIINGTON TOWN6END has been
nominated for Congress by the Republicans
of the 7th; district, in place of Mr. BROOM
ALL, who declined a re-election.
The Republicans of Luzelne have nomi
nated J. S. SLocum for Senator, and Jowl
HALE, G. W. Rein and S. H. DODSON ' for
Assembly.
In Mifflin county the Republicans have
nominated General T. F. McCoy for As
sembly; in Lebanon, JACOB G. HEILMAN.
- .
The Republicans of Wyoming county
hate nominated Mr. P. M. Osranitoux for
State Senator in place of Mr. Goo LAN
DON. Susquehanna county, urges the nomi
nation of Mr. W. H. JESSUP. This makes a
triangular contest:
In the Republican Electoral ticket, as
published in some of the papers, are some
errors. JOIIN STEWART is the candidate
for the 16th district and GEORGE W. ELVER
for the 17th. This latter name is sometimes
erroneously printed ELDER.
TOO.ll - B . .9, in his speech at Atlanta pro
nounced the ',‘Lost Cause" to be "the no
blest and holiest for which 'patriot blood
was euer shed." It is not strange, there
fore, that this champion of rebellion pro
ceeded, a few moments after, to denounce
reconstruction, as follows :
The recognition of these measures Dm Demo
cratic Party was impossible. Every crat in
both Houses or Congress had an d gns them and
declared them unconstitutional v oi d the Dem
ocrats in all the State Legislatures, in local Conven
tions, and in every form of party action. had stamp ,
ed them with Just condemnation; yet, although the
country had a right to expect It, the unanimous dec
laration of the National Convention, that these acts
(so-called) were usurpations, uqconstitutional, revo
lutionary and vold, sent a thrill of Joy through tall
lions of hearts; and brOught countless blessings
upon the beads of the noble representatives of the
fearless and Indomitable Democracy.
THE Louisville Journal puts the Demo
cratic view of the real issue in this clear and
unmistakeable light. Speaking for the Ken
tucky and„Southern Democracy generally,
it says:
- "Greenbacks are but an incident. Negro sutage
is but an incident. The gist of the matter Is, hall

The seek to obscure thi 4 real question.
They seek to keep It out of sight, But it is embraced
In the simple propo,ltlon: If Grant gets a majority
of the electoral votes of the Northern Mates. where
there is likely to be a fair election, why, well and
good: but If he falls to get a majority of the North
ern electoral votes, and Congress attempts to make
up a deficit by a machine of its own creation In the
Routh. then we light. The sooner the people toe
that line the better."
THE Galveston (Texas,) News,' a Demo
cratic print, alluding' to the rumors that
Buis expects to be President through
ElEnickrit's death or removal, says:
There are few, if any, men In the country who
could beat Blair In the part of President. We like
the ticket Just as it is, but if It should get other end
foremost in the excitement of the canvass, it would
still be first rate.

_ Our constitutions are elastic. They are not easily
shattered. In fact, strictly speaking, Death alone
can shatter them, for They represent the reserve of
vitality, which enables the enfeebled system to re
set, when the pressure of disease is removed from
It. But it la the fashion, when the body is weak,
the circulation languid, the, nerves tremulous and
the mind depressed, to say that the constitution is
. ruined, or broken down, or shattered. In cases of
the kind described, administer HOSTETTRR'S
STOMACH BITTERS. and It will soon be sten how
little ground there is for thls stereotyped note of
alarm. The tonic and alterative properties of the
specific, rapidly diffused through the whole organi.
nation by the stimulant which forms the basis, will
immediately create a favorable reactks; and this
,reanimating process will go On as the medicine is
continued, until strength, health and mental as
tivitY are completelfrestored. Evers day cures of
this kind are accomplished. Let the debilitated in
valid, when told by his condoling friends that "his

De. BIM= : I write to thank you P3r your kind.
nese and scientific management of my disease, for
which I called to consult you some time in January
last. you will remember that I had a complication
of diseases, which finally ended in a terrible fistula,
which I had been advised to "let alone," on' ie.;
'count of a harassing cough, which. it was feared
might fasten it on my lungs. I knew that the pecu
liar mode of treating diseases like mine' was by a
cutting operation, which, if anCaeasiill 114 all, would
naturally throw the disease upon the lumser some
other vital organ, on account of the sudderinesa al
the cure and theimmediate check to the discharge,
which I believed was a sidutary provision of nature
to get rid of some morbid condition of the ayetern.
I feel perlhotly satisfied that .voue method of treat- .
meat, purifying the system, and looal applications
to the ristulous part, must cure, if anything could,.
without cutting, which I and it did, and I am happy
:to report myself well in every particular, with
Wunder and better health than I have had for years.
I: would also add that the applications you made
were almost pilnlests, ind have left me anew man,
with all the energies and vigor of restored health.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Trench Caves In—Two Men Killed
Coroner's Inquest.
A serious accident occurred yesterday,
on Penn street, between 'Wilson and Boun
dary. in the Fifteenth ward, resulting ! in
the death of Hugh Burnside and James
Sweeney, who were employed by.. Jarvis,
H a ll dt co,, contractors for laying the twen
ty inch water pipe on Penn and Butler
streets through the Fifteenth ward.
The work had progressed as far as Mc-
Steen's brass foundry, between Boundaiy
and Wilson streets, and there were twenty
six men engaged in the trench, which,
at that point, was between seven and eight/
feet deep.
About live minutes before twelve o'clock
the east side of the ditch, which we stated
was between seven and eight feet in depth,
a? about tour feet' in width at the top,
c ved in for a distance of thirty feet.
Burnside and Sweeney, who were in the
bottom of the ditch at the time, were
. caught by the mass of falling earth and
buried in the ditch. There were several
others working near them at the time, but
it is supposed that all escaped except the
two named. Their fellow laborers went to
work immediately to extricate them from
the ditch, which required fully a quarter
of an hour. Both men were dead when
taken out. It is probable that they were
killed instantly, as the necks of both were
found to be broken when the bodies were
extricated. The earth through which the
ditch passes at this point is of this forma
tion: About three, feet of the bottom is the
natural soil of a loamy character, and upon
that is a formation of broken stone, the
bed of the old turnpike road, and on the
top is about two feet of gravel. The dttch
gave way at the bottom of the old road
bed, in consequence, it is presumed, - of the
earth havin,g been excavated from under
it, and:the heavy weight of the loose earth
which had been thrown from the ditch up
on that side.
It appears that upon two former occasions
since the work was commenced the sides
of the ditch have caved in, but happened
fortunately when there was no one work
ing in it. Notwithstanding this warning,
however, the men who were working in it
appeared to have no fears as to its safety.
It was the intention to have put in braces
this morning, and Mr. Quinn, the superin
tendent had ordered the necessary timbers
for that purpose from Mr. McClintock, but
as they did not arrive the work proceeded
as usual without them.
It was not known positively whether
there were others under the earth or not,
and when our reporter left the men had
quit work, notwithstanding the boss had
not called the roll, and he had no other
way to ascertain whether there were any
others buried except by throwing out the
earth which had caved in.
The bodies of the deceased when taken
out of the ditch were removed to M. Steen's
brass foundry, on Penn street, near where
the accident occurred, where the Coroner
who had been notified, held an inquest.
The jury, after a short deliberaticin; re
turned a verdict of accidental death.
Burnside was about forty years of . age,
was married and resided on Webster
street near the old_Methoodist grave yard.
Sweney was about thirty years of age. un
married, and boarded at Carters, on
Boundery street.- I
