THE :S.Xtli DISTRICT ALL RIGHT.
A dispatch from a, Jriend at FranY:iin,
last evening, assures us that the diffe , :ences
which threatened the loss of that Congres
sional district to the Union party liave been
happily reconciled. The unsellisli patriot
ism of Mr. JoniisoN, in yielding his un
doubted technical right to the candidacy,
in .deference to the unanimous desire for
harmony, and to secure thereby the absoltite
certainty of success in the district., exactly
corresponds to our estimate of that gentle
man, and entitles him to the sincere thanks,
of our friends without as well as within the:
district
JOSUE( RING,
N. P. REED.
VERMONT strikes the key-note of the cain
paign.
• We beg our, friends everywhere to bear
in 'ulna that the vote of Pennsylvania in
October will powerfully affect the Novem
ber election in every State of the Union,
our own inchided. No matter how safe
our particular county or our own particular.
Congressional , district may be, still labor
earnestly to get out the vote in October.
That is the time when the work which will
tell upon the 'grand results' must be done.
We have the votes to carry this State by a
handsome majority, and if those votes are
cast in October, the election of, GnAri and
COLFAX is a sure thing. As goes Penn
sylvania at the first election this year„ . so will
go the Union. Only let every Republican
feel as if the country could not do without
his vote, and that his neighbor's vote must
on no account be lost, and all will be well.
EIEM
VuEsiorrr starts the ground-swell
More than usual stir wis visible among
the Democratic leaders, yesterday, come
.
quent upon a conference with their "left
wing," tly "Labor Reform" section, in the
matter of nominations for city officer& It
has teen generally understood that the
"fusion" szrangement which prevailed -in
the Democratic and Labor Reform county
conventions, held in July, would be applied
in fixing upon candidates for city officers,
but of this there is now some doubt, the
conference of yesterday having been of an
inharmonious character.
A Comattee of the "left wing" met with
a Committee of the "unterrifted," and the
result of their conclave was a report recom
mending a Mr. MCBRIDE as the candidate
for City Treasurer, on behalf of the Labor
Reformists, the other candidates, for Mayor
and Controller, to be agreed upon by the
Democracy "pure and simple." This report
was submitted to the Democratic Executive
Committee for approval, which, however,
it did not receive, whereupon the confer
ence ended, and the Chairman of the Execu
tive Committee was instructed to call a
Conventioil of the Democracy to nominate
candidates for city officers. We understand
this to be a concession, on the part of the
"clique," to the. masses pf the party, who
swear that they are already staggering under
about as much Know Nuthingism and other
isms as they are willing to carry in one
canvass. •
80,000 are the figures from Vermont.
The Illitio l tud Banks hold $425,000,000 of
the - Grovernuient bonds and pay a Federal
and State taiation of nearly $20,000,000 per
annum.: •
About' $600,000,090 of these 'bonds are
held''foreign countries, and no tar
could be laid 'on Ahem without a violation
of the contract, which their own govern
ment would 'be bound to resent; by war if
. .
neceassay. •
Our Savings Banks hold $150,000,000 of
bonds, and any taxation upqn them would
be a tax upon the poor man's earnings.
The tire and life insurance companies of
_the. country hold about $175,000,000 of
these bonds; tax them and the charge would
be necessarily paid by the people ininertias.
ed rates of instuance..
Our Colleges, and other institutions of
learning or benevolence, hold probably $75,-
000,000 of these bonds. Do the people
want a tax upon education? '
Large amounts of bonds are held by guar- :
liana and trustees for orphans and minor
children. - -
It is thus seen that the greater proportion
of the bonds either pay a large internal tax"
already, are out of the reach of any possible
taxation without a foreign war, or could not
be taxed without violating the fundamental
principles of public policy. Nor should it
be forgotten that the income Utx in some
form reaches alike all our bondholding
citizens who make honest returns.

THE :TAXATION OF BONDS.
PITTSNURtiII GAZETTE : 'WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMITER 2. 1868.
HISTORY OF THU NATIONAL BONDS.
In the dark days of the war of the. Great
Rebellion; when the nation was struggling
for its life against millions of rebels, the
expenditures necessary to maintain the ter
rible contest rose to over two millions of
dollars a day. To raise this vast sum as
ftst as it was needed taxed to the utmost
the wisdom and the energy of our statesnien.
But to make the matter worse, the leaders
of the Democratic party labored assiduously
to convince thepOple that the suppression
of the rebellion would be impossible; and
just so far as they were successful in that
traitorous labor, they damaged the national
credit and rendered the work of replenish
ing the treasury more difficult. As large au
amount of legal tender notes as prudence
would warrant were issued—and that con
summate stroke of policy saved the country.
But six times as much money as could be
supplied in that wtt3 i was needed, and no
expedient remained but a resort to loans. •
Early in the war, while greenbacks were
yet almost at par with gold, a large amount
of 5.20 bonds, bearing six- per cent. interest,
were thrown upon the market. ;For some of
them, to our knowledge, gold was paid at
par. Patriotic citizens who had money to
spare came forward and poured it into the
National Treasury, *big these bonds in
exchange! They gave their money as
fathers and mothers gave their sons, as wives
give their husbands, and as these, sons and
husbands, gave themselves, to savetheconn
ry. In vain would it have been to have
called out men without'this, Money, for it
would have been impossible to equip, trans
port or sustain them in the field.
At that day no man thought of paying
either the interest or principal of these bonds
in,anything else than realmpney. The ab
surdity of redeeming one, promise to pay
with, another promise to pay had not entered
anyliodi's head. Invariably the authorized
agents of the government for the sale of
bonds spoke of their being payable in gold
and nothing else. This we know, and we
know that they' were authorized so -to
speak.
To render the b6nds still more acceptable
Congress exempted them by law from taxa
tion as property, ; although _ it did tax the
income arising from them, where the clear
income of the holder exceeded Six hundred'
dollars. Under the (present law, that clear
income must be one thousand dollars befofe
it is taxed. Thus the large and wealthy
bondholder is taxed, while the holders of
smaller amounts; flinging from fifty dollars
to more than ten thousand, is not taxed at
all, whether upon income arising from bonds
or anything else.
This exemption from taxation is thus a
part of the contract between those who
loaned their money and the Government, to
impair the obligation of which is so plainly
and pointedly unconstitutional that it can
not be done so long as we have a Supreme
Court. Such men as Fna.xs who
talks about trampling the laws of Congress
into the dust, might do it; but there is no
authority under the Constitution that could
do it.
But so enormous were the sums ot money
required in the dark days of that tremen
dous struggle, that all these inducements
failed to bring into the treasury las much
as was required. A temporary resort to
the scheme of compound-Interest notes was
forted upon the Secretary of the Treasury.
These have all been taken up. i Then came
the vast issue of what are called seven
thirtit,s, bearing 7 3-10 per cent. interest in
currency ; and so, among all these expedi
ents, the country was triumphantly carried
through the war, the Union preserved,' the
Rebel Confederacy crushed out of existence,
peace restored, prosperity resumed, and the
credit of the nation this day - stands mint
peached before the world, except in its per
sistent disparagement by the Democracy.
Bear in mind that this vast financial work
was borne exclusively by our ownpeople.-_
Not till the war was over would the bankers
end capitalists of Europe touch our bonds.
The 'aristocracy there, as here, were in op.
position to us, and predicted the success of
the rebellion. This was regarded as a bro
ken and ruined'nation; and it is truly as
tonishing that it was' able to bear up finan
cially againat that hostile cry from the aria
tocracy of the old world, echoed as It was
by every Copperhead throat of this country.
A grander example of faith and patriotic
devotion is not.to be found in the history of
any people than is found in the financial
history of the war of the Great Rebellion.
But there are men now - laboring to sully
and deface that glorious record. There are
scores and hundreds of fellows who hirie
'never paid,a cent of government tax, and
are, not likely to do so, running round the
country bellowing about bonds and taxes,
gold and greenbacks, and other things
which they neither possess nor understand.
There is no better way lto neutralize their
poison. than to call to mind the dark days of
agony in whieb those hondiand greenbacks
had their origin. No true Americartneed be
ashamed of either, and none will permit
their heroic record to be tarnished by any
act or meanness or bad faith.
WHERE DOES HE STAND!
In calling upon Kr. Buirrr, thF Democratic
candidate for Congress, for distinct replies
to several questions which we propounded
to him the other day, we exercised a right
which pertains to each voter in the district.
That gentleman is presented as a:ixindidate for
election to a highly important trust; as such,
the people are entitled, to know.this posi
tion on all questions' cif PolitiCal interest
Accordingly, we addressed him, two days
since, several enquiries, in respectful phrase
and concerning matters which`are pioixii
nent in current politics. • -
alie had their
Those enquiries - have not been answered
as desired. And. the Pittsburgh Pod, as
suming, as it doubtless has, the right to speak
for Mr. BURTT; announces that they will not
be d answered, until the several candidates
tan meet for a joint discussion, This IS not
a eteditabie evasion. And the Poses talk
abtlitt this journal, in that micrieetien, is all
ibitimierv. Our enquiries had nOthing to
do with discussions between candidates; we
asked a few eivil'questions; and have a right
to a plain and categorical reply. Onr en-
guides expressed the chriosity of a large
number of the, people of the district, and
are dodged in a very uncandid manner.
It is therefore virtually admitted, by the
friends of Mr. Bunrr, that he is trying to
,
carry water n both shoulders. He has not
the courage t say, for, the information of
the people, w ose votes. ke solicits, which
Presidential cket he shall suppoPt, whether
he is for.or a alnst the Democraiic proscrip
tion of the laborer for opinion's sake,
whether the eight hour 4rBtem of labor
should or should not be accompanied with
a corresponding reduction of wages, or to
define his position on the reconstruction
question. Certainly, he is an admirable can
didate to ask for the votes of an - intelligent
people.
i l
We recom ' end to our fellow—citizens to
press these e quiries (which appeared in last
Monday's G ZETTE) upon. Mr. BIIIITT, at
his public eetings, and ,see whether he
will persist i refusing to them a plain and
clear answer. Hold him to it, friends, and
you will either get the answer, or you will
see some beaitiful squirming.
TDB DIFFERENCE IN GOVERNORS
Ex-Gov. Ton, of Ohio, in his speech at a
Union meeting in Ashtabula county, last
week, talked very much to the point, as
follows :
"Seymour is an intelligent man. I know
him well. , He was Governor ,at the same
time I. was Governor. Mr. 'Lincoln called
for volunteers. I sent him only thirty
thobsand, while Seymour, sent him fifteen
thousand. The President went round
plithenting Seymour, and saying nothing
about*hat I had done. I took Mr. Lincoln
to task for this. I said, hoW is it ? you are
complimenting Seymour 'Tor his fifteen
thbusand men, and neglecting to compli
ment Morton - and me P - Itis answer was
perfectly satisfactory. He said, 'Why,
Tod, I never thanked Mrs. Lincoln for a
cup of tea in my life.' (Laughter. and ari-•
plause.) The truth was, Morton and I had
done nothing more than ; what was expected
ails, while Seymour had. He had never
done the like before, ,and never did after
ward. It was not necessary to keep a Major
General in Indiana, and Illinois, and Ohio,
to correspond with the President, as it was
in New York. In those States the Govern.:
ors acted as the President's correspondents
and :agents. You will remember that re
markable dispatch of General Dix to Sey
mour, saying: beg to let you know that
I have troops enough at my
. command to
take care, not only of the rioters, but of
