CLAIMS to the amount of nearly $300,000
have already been presented, from the coun
ties of Perry, Bedford and Franklin, to the
Board which has been appointed to exam
ine the claims of residents of -the border
counties of this State for damages -
sus
tained during the rebel invasions. The
claims Vary from $8,50 to $13,443,50 each.
The Board is still sitting.
THE people of New York, and other
Eastern and Northern cities, are feeling the
full force of the excitement about diseased
cattle. An appreheasion is generally ex
pressed that they have not yet seen the
worst of it, 'and they wait anxiously for
the further development which is to ,follow
in due time after exposure to the contagion.
From Providence, the reports are interest
ing. A' small drove of the affected cattle
were put - under. active medical treatment,
and a large number of the diseased animals
!Engl ish
recovered. Advantage was taken of
!English experience in the treatment of a
kindred form of the distemper, and with
that favorable result. • I
"Tbe Gazarrg charge& the war and the public
debt upon the Democratic party. Has the GAZETTE
forgotten when that party was called, in derision,
• 'Union .avers,' "Union shriekers," because of
their tenacious adherence to the ways of peace, to
the Union, to the Constitution? Can the tJAzErrz
say now, that It believes we should have had a war
at all, bad the Democratic party remained In power?
that the country was not always prosperous whilst
amled by that party?"—Post.
We have said, over and over again, that
when the Republicans are beaten at a Pres
idential election, they submit to the decision
of the ballot-boxes and that when the
Democrats are so beaten- they either threat
en "a war's or actually make ono. In this
particular, the fundamental difference be
tween their politics is, that Republicani hold
their rights under the Constitution and laws
to be just equal, and no more, to those of
their opponents, while those of the Demo
crats believe, or profess to believe, they
have an exclusive patent from the Al
mighty to manage the Government, to in
terpret the organic law, to frame policies of r
administration—and that there is nothing
so palpably unconstitutional as for them to
be whipped at an election. Under this view
-of the ease, it is altogether probable there
would have been no war had the people
allowed the Democrats to go on as afore
time, controlling' the Government, and
enjoying the honors and emoluments. They
would have - plunged the country into civil
- strife in 1856 if they had not elected Mr.
BUCHANAN by Criminal frauds --here in
Pennsylvania. All the arrangements were
made by them for such a catastrophe.. They
did promptly resort to war in 1860 upon
the election of Mr. Lntcprat; and they are
threatening, as we showed conclusively a few',
days ago, to get up another rebellion in case
General GRANT shall be 'elected next No
vember. There was a period • when their
bluster greatly disquitked''manY people; but
that time has gone by. Having already ea.
rayed. the worst they can ever do, and been
thoroughly chastised, their threats of fresh
disturbarices, however seriously made, ex
,
cite only contempt. The Republicans,
neither in 1856, nor at any other time, have
threatened war in case they shall be defeat
ed; nor do they threaten war now incase of
defeat - next fall. Are /ow answered?
IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.
On the 11th instant, we published a com
pilation, making two solid pages of this
journal, entitled, "The New. Rebellion;
or the Record of the Democratic party as
made by itself." This compilation consis
ted of extracts from the speeches of many
Southern statesmen, and editorials from
many newspapers, showing that the pur
pose is formed of re-opening the rebellion
in case GRANT and COLFAX shall be elected.
Though we printed many thouiands extra
of the Weekly which contained this docu
ment, they are all gone, and we have or
ders on hand for many thousands more.
On the 17th instant,we published, an elab
orate editorial headed, "Figures for Every
Citizen: Cost of the rebellion—entire re
ceipts and expenditures for eight years—the
Public Debt—Federal Taxation." This
document, also, has attracted much atten
tion, and we have orders for many thous
ands of the Weekly containing it for general
circulation.
In consequence, we have determined to
issue a special edition of the Weekly contain
ing both of these important papers, and
shall work off a sufficient number not only
to supply all orders now in, but such or
ders as we reasonably anticipate; and shall
be prepared to supply any farther demands
by holding the forms Over.
- We invite orders for this special number
of the Weekly fronx Republican County
Committees in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia and elsewhere. It is desirable
that these orders should be sent in as
promptly as may be.
A number of publishers of County Re
publican journals have requested us to sup
ply these documents in the form of supple
ments to their respective sheets. This we are
ready to do, on the lowest possible terms,
and invite orders accordingly.
The orders we have already in hand will
make this special edition at least TWENTY
SEVEN THOUSAND. We trust it will go up
to a good many thousands more. Conse
quently we solicit advertisements for this
number—all of which will go into our reg
ular weekly edition as well.
We shall from time to time, during the
progress of the canvass, prepare andpublish
in the GAZETTE other documents of great
interest and utility.
THE COST-IVRY IT HURTS THEM !
While the present footings for the money
cost to the Federal Treasury of the first
Democratic rebellion; amount to four thous
and one hundred millions of dollars, it
must not be forgotten that any fair estimate
of the property destroyed, most of it in the
rebellious States, of the daMages inflicted
upon our maritime commerce, and of the
paralysis which a four years' continuance
of the war bronght upon the productive in
dustry.of the people, would easily swell the
total up to beyond five tkousan;d millions of
dollars. Yet now these Democratic editors
and orators ,have the infinite cheek to find
fault with the Republicans for the expense
of subjugating their Democratic rebellion.
When you hear one of them talking about
debts and taxation, ask him if he is not sorry
the rebellion was. put down at all. Ask him
if he and his party could have done the job
any quicker and cheaper, and, if £O, ask
him why they didn't: do it. While he is
about it, let him frankly declare if he would
go in for coercion, or acquiesce in seces
sion, if the thing was to be gone over again
Ask him why Mr. BtrcitAxAx suffered:
the rebellion to make head, and supplied
the rebels with all the material of war. It
will be perhaps convenient for him also to
explain that little transaction in cannon,
when nothing but the patriotic_ promptitude
of this loyally Republican city prevented
the Southern. Democracy from securing
some three hundred heavy gins to arm the
forts along the Gulf and the lower Missis
sippi.
This whole question of the cost of the
rebellion turns upon the graver question
underlying it, viz: Was it right to put that
rebellion down ? If it was right, the ex
pense followed as a matter of course, and
is justly chargeable to the party which
brought it upon the country, and which
now talks, with such pathetic assurance;
about debt and taxation. The truth is,
they hated the boys in blue, the old flag
itself, the Republican triumphs at the polls
and on the battle field, the soldiers who
fought and the people who paid out their
money to give to the war its sinews,—all
just about equally. And that's what's the
matter !
DEMOCRACY Y I S. P ATRIOTISM. •
When, in 1863 and in 1864, the country,
receiving from all sources only $375,000,.
000, was at the same time spending $1,580,-
000,000, running i 7 debt in those two years
twelve hundred millions of dollars ; when
this rebel Sathern Democracy, led by the
game HAMPTON, FORREST, TOOMBS, WISE,
and others who nominated BEybroun and
Bram the other day, had the, old Republic
by the throat, and the future of the Union
seemed to be enshrouded in a gloom as
funereal and hopeless as death itself; when,
still fighting as we , were, struggling
blindly except in the light of that
hope which still animated our daunt
less patriots, we gave to our creditors
the beat promises we could make, and, un
der the pressure, our credit had gone down
to forty cents on the dollar—then, we made
one more effort to borrow money to carry
us through. Where should we get it? Ev
erybody said that we must go abroad, as
had always been our practice for National
and. State loans. We must go France,
England and Germany for the money. Bop'
pose that vie had done so; should we have
got the money any cheaper, or on any bet-
PITTSBURGH GA Z
ter terms of payment f yirOuldnot the for
eign capitalist have made the best - bargain
he could and would he not have stipulated
for payment in money, lard cash, good all
the world over, not in our new paper prom
ises-to-pay? Of course, be would, and no
one could censure him for it.
But "No," said a few of our thoughtful,
patriotic citizens : "No 1 We will not go
abroad; our own people have money enough
for our needs, and they will trust the Nation
quite as readily as would any other capital
ists on the globe. Let us appeal to their
patriotism, make known the nature of the
public needs, and American citizens will
take these loans, thus keeping our creditors
at home and proving to the world that we
cannot only fight our own battles, but pay
our own bills." The trial was made; the
people responded, and the loans were sub
scribed for, to the last dollar, by Ai eriCans
of .11 occupations and conditions in life,
wh • brought in,, the most of them, their
fift es, hundreds or thousands, with many
do bts as to the ability', of the nation to re
. them, but feeling that they would risk
~ if need be lose,
,at least 'so much for
it country's cause. 1 And thus was cre
i the debt whick Democratic policy
; the American people to scale down,
all, clip and sweat off into nothing, by
policy of more or less direct repudia-
lii
1
If the foreigner had taken your loans, do
you suppose there could be any proposition
to rob him of his interest, and cheat him out
of more of less of the principal he bargained
for?
If then, when our paper was less tha
forty cents on the dollar and our cu cy
was all of such paper and nothin o else, the
precious metals having entirely disappeared
from our sight, you had proposed to Tie
lender, at home or abroad, to repay him: at
some future time by giving him another
note, how much money would you have
succeeded in borrowing ? In point of fact,
not a dollar, and the.
in
would
have carried its point in the destruction of
the Union.
Have. not your own fellow citizens a
claim at least as just upon your honesty and
fair dealing in the cOnguishment of the
debt?
The Democracy would not dare to plunge
the country into a foreign war by the repu
diation of a foreign debt, but they think
they ,can put ,the knife to our own people
without mercy. Is that the right kirid of
American Democracy'' Or is it because of
their inextinguishable hate against all who
contributed Other of their blood or their
treasure to uphold the integrity of the
Union ?
DISFRANCIIISE3II NT •OF REBEI,S
In a paragraph yesterday, we announced
the substance of the very important decision
by Chief Justice CHASE, pronounced in
West Virginia, in a case involving the va
lidity of a constitutional provision of that
State disfranchising rebels. We append a
full statement of the. case, and of the points
made in the opinion of the Chief Justice,
from the Wheeling Intelligencer :
The case was that of -John B. Smith vs.
Ruffner, Donnally & Co., one of the de
fendants being a disfranchised rebel named
Miller, who pleaded in abatement to the
jurisdiction of the Court, clauning that as he
was declared by the amendment to the Con
kitution of West! Vrginla not to be .a chi
ten of said State, he could not be sued in
his Court. The plea brought in questilon
he •legality of the amended Constitution
l and the construetion to be placed on it.
In anticipation of the decision, an inter
ested party there wrote as follows to the
Wheeling Register:
I
"It Is erected that the questions of the constitu
tionality I:ef the disfranchising amendment to the
West Virginia Constitution will be decided by Chief
Justice Chase at the - present term of the United
States Collet here. It will he argued on a plf:a In
abatement fur want ofJurrsdiction, In a case wherein
a citizen of Kentucky has sued a West Virvininn
who claims that he Is an alien under the Said clauses,
and therefore this Court has no Jurisdiction.''
But the decision was not -what was ex
pected.
Chief Justice Chase, in delivering the
opinion of the Court, in substance said :
"No Court . of the milted States will decide the
question as to the validity of the amendment to the
Constitution of West Virginia under the Constitu
tion and aws of said state. .
"We•lit'nk tie amendment fairly reconcilable
with the constitution and laws of the united States.
The word citizen. as used in' the atnendinent. Is not
in the sense of that word as t,ed in the Judiciary
acts—but that certain illdiVidUSlS Si/10111d lint 'be re
garded as citizens• that is, shah not partake of the
political powers of citizens.
••'1 be word citizen, as usettin the Judiciary act. is
. rrotin the sense of a yiolltical,person.`•
Tlie distincticn between the Constitutional
gtatus of the citizen and the political rights
of the voter is very eleiirly stated by Judge
CHASE. The validity of the prinCiple em
bodied in the acts, legislative or organic, of
West Virginia and other I t3outhern States,
limiting the exercise of the right of suffrage
by the disfranchisement l of rebels, is also
clearly maintained. The question becomes,
therefore, one of mere local expediency,
and as it is now agitated in Tennessee.
It will be remembered that the validity of
the XlVth Amendment; ono clause of which
excludes the oath-breaking class of rebels
from holding offices, either Federal or State,
was also expressly rectignized by the same
high judicial authority, 1 and at the same
term 'of his Court.
TUE NEW DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
Bald ex-Democratic delegate and ox-rebel
General FOBBEST, at a Democratic Conven
tion in Brownsville, Tenn., on the 10th
inst :
•
It it not our policy to get Into another clvll war,
or a war of any 'dud at the present Cline, aslit would
be used against us and weaken our camp In the
North. and I have tvivistd every Confederate sol
dier whom I have met lately to do all lu his power
to prevent war of any kind taking place lit:Tennes
see.
That's the lt dodge 1 The War-talk
present dodge 1 The wai.,
t i
is to be hushed up until after the el ctions,
so that it may, not be "used again t them
and weaken their cause ac'the North ""This
is their policy "for the present time. ' It is
a "policy" which comes too la . The
Northern people have already heard their
boasts, noted their threata and marked their
interpretations of the Democratic ticket and
platform. The new policy of concealment.
and of pacific professions "for the present
time" won't do. We hold them to their
own record. . _
Tan Charleston Courier contains another
editoriatcautioning ex-rebel officers to be
moderate in their political speeches, for the
reason that their extravagance of statement
inpues the Democratic cause in the North.

They distinctly say they. mean white men

THE BOOT RENEWED.
According to Physiologists, the human body is
renewed once In seven years. Every day, every
hour, every tnomenti the flesh, the cartilage, bone
and muscle of the frame are wasting away, and be
ing imperceptibly replaced by new material.
Health depends upon the nature of that material,
and winner It shall be pure or diseased, flail of
vitality and elasticity, or feeble and flaccid, depends
mainly noon the action of the stomach. In viarm
weather the waste of the system is very rapid, and
if it Is not as rapidly repaired by the great sustain
ing organ, the consequence is debility, emaciation
and decay. It is. therefore, of paramount import
ance that the stomach be kept in a vigorous condi
tion at this trying season, and the safest, surest
and best for le that can be employed for Mitt purpose
is ROSTETJ ER'S BITTERS. This Incomparable
vegetable stomachle gives unwonted energy to the
digestive powers, promotes the conversion of the
food into healthfUl blood, (which is, so to speak, the
raw material of all the solid portions of the body, )
and thereby puts the system In the best possible
state of defence against epidemic or other diseases.
The strong require it to keep up their strength; the
weak, to re-Invigorate them. It consists of the pu
rest of all diffusive stimulants, charged with the
Juices and extracts of the moat genial roots and
herbs, and Is a permanent restorative—not a mere
temporary excitant. Il acts simultaneously upon
the stomach, the bowels and the liver, audio the
best known remedy for il) spends., biliousness. cos
tiveness and general debility.
CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. KEYSER.,
of this city, on the various diseases of the ear, he
says that nine out of ten cases could be cured in
their incipiency if application were made to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes frem the opinion of Wilde, a well
known aural surgeon, who says: "I fear not to re
iterate the astertion which I made on several for
mer occasions, that if the disease of the ear were as
well studied or understood by the generality of
practitioners, and as early attended to as - those of
the eye, it would be found that they were lust as
much within the pale of scientific treatment. • •
Deafness Is so common and so distressing an In
firmity, and when of long standing so incurable,
that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi
tioners to make thetuseves familiar with the treat
ment of the diseases of the ear. , 0
The Doctor says that nearly all annoying Dis
charges, Buzzing' and Morbid Growthi peculiar to
the organ of the hearing, some of which had lin
gered through a score or two of years, can be cured
or ameliorated by proper treatment.
