IT Is the general impression at Washington
that a quorum of Condress will be present
on the twenty-first, when another recess
will be taken, to a day late in October, or
immediately after the November election.
Dr xocrt.vra who feel anxious about the
Maine election may be comforted by their
,friend Hon. S: S. Cox, who has been mak
' ing Democratic speeches in that State. He
says: "I tell you, sir, it is no use shutting
our eyes to plain facts. Popular enthusi
asm for GRAFT is irresistible. He will
sweep everything before hint."
nuns Itwaca is announced fora political
speech at Washington Citynext week. Un
less our Democratic friends can put up with
declaFations and admissions very damaging
to themselves, they would do well to con
fine their candidate at once to a very rigid
preliminary diet of plain bread and water,
and keep him entirely cool and protected from
all disturbing annoyances. In that event,
he may succeed in making a speech which
will do no harm to his party.
HAVE the 'soldiers, who put the rebellion
- down, forgotten - how they felt when, 'while
in the,lield, they heard from the Copper
heads at home ? Do they remember the
fire in the rear froiii — VALLANDrorrAm and
PENDLETON and SEYMOUR. ? Can they for-
get how they pledged . themselves to remem
ber and honor those, who aided and en
couraged- the Union cause by their influ 7
ence at home, aid how they swore to visit
a just retribution upon those other traitors
who were striving to defeat them ? The
time has come now for these things to be
remembered.
IT IS STATED THAT GEL GRANT and his
principal officers regard the speedy out
break of an Indian war, including nearly
all the tribes of the plains, as imminent.
Gen. Ssiumis has asked for a large Increase
of his cavalry force and it has been granted.
Pam. Sur uzuezt was himself beleagured
in one of the remote forts, last week; and
repulsed the savages with difficulty, 13szu
ken has also Generals A. P. &lora and
HARNEY under his comniand, and ifie most
energetic and comprehensive measures are
in progress to make the unavoidable strug
gle
a brief one, and to ensure a result ' such
us forever to preclude the possibility of Its
renewal. The first objects of attention are
the protection of emigrants and of the Pa
ce railw aye, and next an aggressive cam
p gn against the enemy. How that is to
be conducted.may be Inferred from the fact
that Gen. Guam. fully comprehends the de
mands of the situation, and proposes to
make thorough work of It. With this' view
also, his return ; Eastward-is postponed \until
he can have a personal conference with all
the leading officers to be engaged.
WE UNDERSTAND that' Mr. W. H. CORK-
Buz, the duly' appointed General Agent of
the "National Lincoln, Monument'Associa.

ASSEMBLY
The rebels in Georgia have taken FRANK
Btam's suggestion, and carry it into effect
by„ the expulsion of twenty-five colored
members from the lower branch of their
Legislature. This has been accomplished,
as we stated yesterday, in defiance of the
State Constitution, the Civil Rights Law,
and the Reconstruction and enabling acts
of Congress. It pretends to justification in
pursuance of the constitutional clause mak
ing each House the judge of the election
returns.and qualifications of its members.
By that, arid by nothing else, do the rebels
attempt to support their case—and this, not
withstanding the same Constitution defines
,the qualifications of - a. Ripresentative as
followsv
'The Representatives shall' be citizens of
the United States who have attained the age
of twenty-one years, andwho after the
first election under this Constitution, shall
have been citizens of this State for one year,
and for six months resident of the counties
from - which elected."
This instrument prescribes no disqualifi
cations by reason of race or color. Citizens
of the United States are defined by the first
section of the Civil Rights Act to ,be "all
persons born in - the United States and not
subject to — `any foreign power, excluding
Indians not taxed:" ' • • '
It is clearly evident, therefore, that in the
expnisiOn of these members, the rebel ma.
jority have violated thilaws of the 'Union
as also both the. Federal and 'state Condit°.
time. They do not pretend. that the' ex=
pelled members were not legally elected,oe
.that they were otherwise ' incompetent to
hold seats ; they have'tnined them out be=
cause of theli coloT, and because their own
majority 'has enabled them" to peiietratean
arbitrary outrage, An the interests of a fresh'
rebel ascplidiney one**, mme:oltpromtl
the Union. All the statues, to be ofbronze,
will be cast from rebel kuns, appropriated
by Congress for that purpose. While the
remaining cost of the entire structure, as
well as of the statues, is to be borne by the
voluntary cOntributions of the - people, it is
believed that the personal -friends, of each
of the distinguished gentlemen whose statues
will have place thereon. will be happy to
avail themselves of the action of the Asso
ciation in inviting contributions specially,
to be devoted to the cost of that peculiar
figure. The collections by Mr. Conrurtn,
in this vicinity, are, therefore, to be entire
ly expsnded in the erection of a statue of
Hon. E. M. STANTON, the late Secretary of
War, which will have a prominent place
when the monument shall be completed.
Mr. STaivrox's numerous friends in this
vicinity are, therefore, assured of thiS dis
position of such funds as they may 'sub
scribe.
A COMMITTEE from the Tennessee Legis
lature is on its way to Washington, to invoke
the aid of the Federal Executive in main
taining the laws of that State. A proposi
tion is also pending in the same Legislature
to empower the Governor to call the ral.
militia of the State into active service, for
the same purpose, in every district where
the rights of all citizens cannot be adequate
ly-protected by the ordinary civil process.
A difference of opinion prevails among
members, as to the adjustment of ,ithe
provisions
provisions of the bill, several of which
dif
ferences
of great intrinsic importance, but these dif
ferences are likely to be reconciled under
the unsatisfactory results which will attend
the application to ANDREW JOHNSON. In
the event that the bill should pass, the Gov
ernor announces his purpose to call out only
the white militia first, and it is also under
stood that any State forces thus put into the
field will speedily be mustered into the Fed
eral service, and placed under the control of
the regular officers of the "United States Ar
my. In view of this probability, the feel
ing of opposition among the citizens of Ten
nessee, to any call upon the militia, will con
siderably abate. There can be no doubt
that the local resources of each State should
first be looked to, in the enforcement of the
local law, before an appeal could properly
be made for the benefit of the'Federal guar
antees; while there is as little doubt that, in
some sort, a military intervention for the
preservation of peace will become necessa
ry in other Southern States besides Tennes
see before the first of November.
THE TREASURY STATEMENT
The monthly statement of the Secretary
exhibits very clearly the progress made in
funding the public debt and in solidifying
the national finances. Of the total increase
of debt, over $12,000,000, over $3,000,000
are represented by the new railway bonds,
not quite $3,000,000 in gold certificates of
deposit bearing no interest, and $7,000,000
paid in geld for Alaska. Of the increase
again, about $1,000,000 are represented in the
conversion of three-year compound interest
notes into simple three per cent. certificates.
Nearly $6,000,000 of matured debt has
been prqented and probably the farger
part funded into 5-20 bonds.
_.The volume
of the latter, bearing six percent. coin in
terest, has been increased over $3,000,000
in the month. Of cash on band, gold has
increased about $9,000,000, while the large
payments have made a reduction of $ll,-
000,000 in the paper funds.
This statement shows that the Secretary
has nearly absorbedthe matured debt, fund
ing the most of it in gold-interest bonds,
that he is rapidly taking up the other bal
ances of floating debt, and that his metallic
reserves are being largely increased. Ac
complishing so much, in the face of pay
ments unusually large for lcurrent expeudi
ture, the Secretary is entitled to commen
dation for his faithful anfi successful man
agement of our financial #l..irs, and for the
decided progress made in the profitable di
rection of specie resumption. That this is
his leading object, and that he keeps it
steadily, no matter how distantly, in view,
is .not to be doubted. Contraction being
suspended, it only remains for him to get,
all his obligations well under control,
strengthen his metallic basis to the utmost,
and thus he will be prepared at no very dis
tant day to urge the duty and feasibility of
a resumption upon Congress.

and helpless race. :Forthe present they are
successful in this,, but their policy cannot
be permanently established until the State
COnstitution shall be again amended, so
that its terms shall correspond to the rebel
desire, and by expressly excluding the col
ored race from their existing legal rights.
Until so amended, it continues, under the
letter and spirit, of both Constitution and
laws, to be the right of any 'citizen, irres
pective
of color, to enjoy the suffrage or to
be a candidate for any civil office. -
Blot out the XlVth amendatory article,
and no man can doubt that some of these
reconstructed States would re-define and
limit the right of suffrage to their white cit
izens. --As long as that article stands, the
clause limiting the right of Federal repre
sentation to that population which possesses
the suffrage, will be 'a powerful, and ulti
mately, after the heats of the present moment
subside, a sufficient inducement to those
States to enlarge that popular basis to the
utmost. Without the constitutional limit
1
now establi sh ed, the whites of the South
would, perha s universally, again restrict
all political rights-to themselves, nor would
they long delV\ in doing it. But as the
Constitution is, and as it will remain unless
Burr, be elected, Southern interests and
Southern prejudices will lead in opposite
ways, and, with the abatement of partizan
rancor and the complete final extinguish
ment of all hopes for s the lost cause in the
election of Gen. GRANT, these prejudices
will he pocketed, and the true interests of
the people will come to control the whole
question. Until then, while such outrages
as the one, just committed at Atlanta may
be remediless, they afford to the loyal North
ample proof of the reviving spirit of the
rebellion under the exhortations of &Ain,
and to the freedmen a significant warning
to vote so as to se cure the vindication of
their rights. _

ADJUSTMENT OF TAXATION.
The Fourth Demand of the Democratic
National Platform is expresseilin the,words
following :
"Equal taxation of every speclea of prop
erty, according to its real value, including
goverment bonds, and other public se
curities."
This rhetorical generalization, brought
to the test of practical application,
may be interpreted to mean little or much,
one thing or another. As a matter of fact,
taxation never has been equalized in any
civilized nation in accordance with the
prevalent Democratic exposition of this
dictum, and never will be until all valuable
past experience shall be ignored, and com
mon tense shall be rigidly excluded from
all share in the management of public
affairs. In barbarous times and countries
the closest approaches are made to 'this
Democratic system of equalization; but in
exact proportion as communities advance in
the development of material resources,
in the knowledge of the higher
industries which constitute the germ and
the flower of the best civilization, and in
the appiehension and use of the most en
larged and salutary principles of civil ad
ministration, they Institute whole series of
sharp discriminations designed to impose
the largest -ratable ,share of the public bur
dens upon the opulent, thus relieving num
erous classes who have about as much as
they can, do to take suitable care of than
selves, their wives and their little ones.
Such discriminations, to such an end, may
not be Democratic, in the existing partizan
understanding of that much-abused term,
but they will stand the test of the severest
scrutiny, and the more they are examined
the more will they challenge and receive the
commendation of all just minded Indivi
duals.
In Pennsylvania the Statetax Qt.51,344,-
091.14 on real estate has been, since 1862,
abolished, and the personal tax for State pur
poses has been reduced to $813,223.19, with a
fair prospect that the whole will be relin
quished at an early day. Nevertheless,
since 1860, according t? the last offkial
statement, the State debtlhas been reduced
by the sum of $4,318,210.03. These grati
fying results were not accomplished by
augmenting levies upon the personal prop
erty of individual citizens, but by laying
the burden upon rich railway and other
corporations. In consideration 'of the val
uable franchises these companies enjoy at
the hands of the Commonwealth, and of
their exemption from certain local assess
ments which cannot easily be apportioned
upon their respective properties,- they are
.virtually made to assume the ultimate pay
ment of the Public debt and most of the
current expenses.
Unless the Fourth Democratic Demand,
above recited,- was intended to receive a
very different interpretation from the ob
vious one, the Democrats mutt design in
ease they shall be restored to power in,
Pennsylvania, to break up this ar
-rangement, to relieve the corporations
from the load they carry, and to distribute
it uniformly over all the real and personal
property within the CoMmonwealth. We
judge that farmers, mechanics, and all men
potsessed only
,61 small resources, will fail
to perceive on what solid grounds of pub
lic poliFy this, horizontal -apportionment of
taxation can be justified.
• Turn now to the existing adjustment of
direct national taxes. All branches of in-
dustry, except those which produce articles
of juxury, are exempted from taxation.
Farmers, mechanics, miners and manufac-
turers, pay •no taxes upon their bugness,
beyond the paltry sums exacted from a por
tion of them 'for licenses. 'shops,
factories; stores and houses, make no contri
butions to the National , Treasury. All
household gOOds except planes and silver
• ware, over forty ouncedfor each:fan:lllY, go
untaxed. Carriages used for pleasure and
gold watches are assessed, while other vehi
cles and watches are not. AU yearly in
comes which mount above one thousand
dollars are taxed, but all underk that JIM
are untouched.
Do the Democrats, in cue they efial ever
get control
,of the Government, mean to
uproot these dlscrhnluallons, and;',aoteta
farms, tenements, shops,,.fq4ories t ,atyl, all
argol4:Vif PeiiOnaiprOperty equally, ac.
cording to their mine Do they mean to
assess the poor man's silver 'watch in pro
portion to the rich man's gold and jeweled
one ? Do they purpose to tax the poor
woman's dozen of silver tea spoons in
proportion to the abundant plate wherewith
a millionaire garnishes his mahogany ? Do
they design to tax the poor person's bed in
proportion to the rich man's piano ? If
these are their ideas, they have repudiated
all the wise lessons of experience .on the
subject of taxation and gone back in their
conceptions to a condition bordering upon
savagery.
They m 4 mean this, or they are playing
deceitfully 'pon words. They would de
serve the p llory, if, entrusted again with
the admini-tration, they should "keep the
word of promise to the ear, but break it to
the hope," liy impudently saying we will
not tax cap tal invested in farms, in ani
mals, in fac ones, in dwellings, in mechani
cal implem nts, in machinery for manufac
turing, and in government bonds and other
public seen ities, and, consequently, we
keep qur ge to tax every species of prop
erty equal! 1
But there 's another aspect to the ques
tion of capit • I invested in national bonds
and other kids of public securities, which
should be co • templated.
Money borrowed is capital in the hands
of the borrower, not of the lender. It is
taxed in his hands precisely as it would be
if it were his own. To tax it again in the
hands of the lender, would clecirly be un
just, as well as highly impolitic. Take an
illustration from the laws of Pennsylvania,
.as they now stand. A. borrows money of
B. to buy a farm or build a house or shop,
A. is assessed on the property exactly as he
would have been if he had paid for the land
or building with his own money, and B. is
taxed for money at interest; this tax amount
ing in almost every instance to six per cent.
annually. Here are two evils. The same
property is taxed twice, which is unequal;
and all lenders are constrained to increase
the rates at which they will lend in order
to cover the taxes. This principle is not
vitiated by the fact that some lenders exact
extra interest enough to cover the taxes,
and then, by making false returns to asses
sors avoid the payment thereof.
If a government borrows money, the
capital practically bocomes its own, just as
in the case of an individual borrower. It
may invest the sums borrowed in cannon,
ships of war, public buildings, the wages of
men employed by it—but the moment the
money passes from the hands of the lender
into the National Treasury, it is public
property, and not liable to taxation, either
directly or indirectly.
If the Democrats include under the term,
"other public securities," bonds issued by
railway and other improvements companies,
their policy is equally objectionable. If a
- railway company borrows money it goes
into the road-bed, or superstructure, or `roll
frig stock, or buildings requisite to the
transaction of business. All these things
the proper company is assessed for in one
form or another, and is made ,to pay taxes
upon. To turn round and assess the lender
for the same capital can be excused or justi
fied by no man until he has first set aside
the suggestions both of common sense and
a wise expediency.
Persons engaged in all the ordinary
branches of business expect to make from
twenty to thirty per cent. upon all the cap
ital they have invested, whether it be actu
ally their own, or borrowed. Their knowl
edge, tact, enterprise and industry, put with
the money, make that, in general estima
tion, a fair amount of remuneration. Cap
ital loaned produces only from three to ten
per cent. unless the circumstances are ex
traordinary. The judgment of the whole
mass of business men throughout the world
establishes this discrimination as sound and
profitable.
Every business man comprehends that to
tax capital Invested "In government bonds
and other public securities" equally with
"every other species of property," provided
other sorts of property are taxed at all,
would make an end of public credit; would
leave the government in any emergency en
tirely to its own current resources, and
would stop the building or - so much as an
additional mile of railway unless the prop
erty holders along the proposed route were
able and willing to take the stock for it and
nut in the money as the work should pro
gress.
If any political party .happening to be in
power, should presume to tax farmers own
ing $500,000 worth of land "accbording to
the actual value," in the same proportion as
National Banks having that amount - of
capital are taxed, we are morally certain
that political party would find itself in a
decided minority at the following election.
If that party should take off from the banks,
and put on to the arrears. so as to make all
taxes equal, thedissatisfaction would be not
much less. ' -
Take another view. Suppose the School
Directors oi,any district in this county or
elsewhere should have occasion - to lwrovr
five or ten thousand dollars to put into a
building, for which they were authorized to
issue bonds payable in ten or twenty yeam.
What would be the effect of going beyond
taxing the interest derived from those bonds
'and taxing the capital invested p.n. them?
Simply this, that whoever had Money to
lend would demand a higher rate of interest
than he otherwise would, in order to cover
the taxes. If he could not get it, he would not
lend. What the people of the district might
gain in taxes, they would lose in increased
rate of interest. This hoids good in respect
to all manner of public securities. .I"ublic
curities put-upon the,market areliable to the
smae laws as private securities, and cannot es
o-aPe therefrom: Iftlie Dinhicritie leaders
think otherwise; they haie too little sense to
deal with public questions.' Ifthey under
stand the facts of the case, and in violation
thereof are:pandering to the lowest passions or
the Igaorant or depraved, they are totally
unilt tai be trusted anYwhere or with any*
thing.
The 'federal gereriunent hair from the be
ginning #teadily 'taxed the income derived,
from interest upon itsthonds,- from interest
on all other public securities and all private
, securities, just as income from any other
source. The bondholder pays five per cent.
upon all his gains, exactly as does the
farmer, the mechanic, the manufacturer,
the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, and
the priest. That is equal taxation.
The system of taxation demanded by the
Democratic Platform would
_tend to crush
laboring men and men of small means. It
is totally destitute of reason and justice,
and will never be allowed to go into opera
tion.
MR. PENDLETON has at last got an opin
ion "subject to future consideration') on the
question of taxing the bonds. When asked
at Norwalk, 0., the other day, how he would
remedy the "abuse of bond=exemption,"
in case the Democracy should obtain pow
.
er, he said, in substance, that he would
have the General Government give its as
sent to the right of State taxation, admit
ting in effect that this assent 1-ould be es
sential. He met the next objection, that
this right of State taxation should have been
known and considered in the making of the
contract by the following dodge :
"That is an undecided question. My
own opinion is that the General Govern
ment may change its rate of taxation after
the bonds are sold. Ido not believe there
is anything in the law or the nature of the
case, amounting to a contract, that the gov
ernment bonds now extant shall not be
taxed above a certain rate. The govern
ment changes its rule or rate of taxation on
all other property,"why not on bonds the
same? This opinion I hold subject to fu
ture modification. However, if the .Gen
eral Government can not legally give its
consent to State taxation of its bonds after
the bonds are once solo, then the General
Government ought itself to tax its bonds to
an amount equal to that average tax both
Federal and State levied on other prop
erty."
This admits that the bonds ars already
taxed, but that he would have that tax in
creased. The admission is interesting.
Infallible Cure for Dysentry.
Dr Page, of Washington, communicates
to the Republican of that city the following
simple remedy, long known in family prac
tice, and which was recently tried in the
'camp of the New York 22dregiment, where
there were from eighty to one hundred
cases daily, and with rapid cures, in every
case :
Recipe—ln a teacup half full of vinegar,
dissolve as much salt as it will take up,
leaving a little excess of salt at the bottom
of the cup.. Pour boiling water upon the
solution till the cup is two-thirds or three
quarters full. A scum will rise to the sur
face, which must be removed and the solu
tion allowed to cool.
Dose,—Tablespoonful three times a day
till relieved.
The rationale of the operation of this
simple remedy will readily occur to the pa-
thologist, and in many hundred cases I
have never known it to fail in dysentery and
protracted diarrhoea.
A VETERAN Jackson Democrat rings out
this stirring appeal :
Sir—General Grant is a Jackson Democrat
and so am L He can stamp his foot on
Wade Hampton, as Jackson did on Calhoun.
A still tonge makes a wise head. The hand
that writes this voted for General Jackson
at his last term. Now the hero's ashes in
the grave would be ashamed of the party
that call themselves Democrats. No trifling
with men's souls that have laid down their
lives for us ! Taos. B. CLARKE.
