TILE, REPI7BLICANS of Philadelphia made
a magnificent demonstration on Tuesday
evening, when they turned out near thirty
thousand strimg, and were 'addressed, from
four different stands,' by a half score of elo

November, as in 1866. Stick a pen there 1
MR. WADE, President of the Senate, and
Mr. COLFAX, Speaker of the House of Reps
xesentatives, passed through the city last
,evening on their way to Washington, to be
present at the re-assembling of Congress.
While here they expressed the . opinion that
little or no business would be done by the
Rouses, but that a redess would be taken to
- the 15th of October. t,
Tn Democracy demand that the real
estate of Pennsylvania, which was valued
inlB6l at $1,416,50:1,818, and which the
Republicans have ezetnpted. from State
taxation, shall be ' placed on the duplicate
.again and be subject to State and Federal
taxes. The National •Banks of this State,
with fifty:milliobs of capital, paid over two
hundred •thousand dollars of taxes last
year,--while` the real estate paid nothing•
Under the now Democratic scheme of tax
ation, the bafiks would have only one-
144renty-niath of this sum, say $7,000,t0 pay,
and the other $1E13,000 would be assessed
on the farmers and lot-owners. , What say
the people to•that?
IPaoat all parts of Pennsylvania we have
the most exispiriting accounts of Republi
can demonstrations. The preliminary work
of organization having been accomplished.,
the labor of publicly discussing the Issues
involved in the election has been taken hold
‘ of in an admirable manner. There is much
ranteud froth in the speakers than has
often been devolved. A thoroughness and
'power is evinced quite unusual. This is
emphatically well. The hustings are the po
litical common schools of the Republic, and
- the higher the tone of the discussions pre
vailing there the better, What the masses
- want is rapt so much to be amusr,d, but to have
the facts and principles upon which they
are to act set forth with truthfulness, cogen

MAINIEND ITS LESSONS.
Our latest report from Maine places
the Repuhlican majority at twenty-three
thousand three hundred and sixty - . The
full official returns will increase rather than
diminish these figures. Our friends have
polled nearly nine thousand votes more than
ever before, and, while retaining all •the
Congressmen, have gained three Senators
and eleven Representatives in the Legisla
tut*. ' •
This extraordinary result has cheered the
hearts of all friends of the Union beyond
expression. Confident; as all have been, of
the inevitable success of our ticket in. No
vember, there remained , no doubts to, re-,
move,' nb hesitation to, re-assute. The effect
has been(to inspire RePublicans everywhere,
anti - especlally in the great 6tates of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and.lndiana, which are next
to wheel into line, with fresh resolution to
spare no lawful exertions for securing the
triumphs which await them, on a fa vote.
And in this way the opposition are also
consoled': •
Maine can give but seven electoral votes,
no matt::r what her majority may be, ands
Demoe. ts were never deluded with the idea
that they could obtain them. So it is all 13re
posterdus gasconade to tire one hundred
guns, burn blue-tire or grow hoarse over
a Republican majority in Maine; it would
be qui e as reasonable to crow over a simi
lar result in Allegheny county.---P,ttsburgli
Fist.
It will take time fin the knowledge why
the'ir c ief interest is ruined , and all their
industries crippled, to filter way - down
East th ough all the rest of New England.
•It will et there at last, even though no
newspapers save the Boston Journal should
be read in MAINE, and though' none but
Yankee and Blue-noses should ever travel
the hig ways and railroads. * * * The
people o no other State, unless it be Florida.
are so li le in communication with their fel

N. w r/d, , •
-
This is cool! "Democrats were neverde
laded with the idea of carrying Maine."
Why, then, have they lavished almost super
human efforts upon that canvass? , They
may reply that it was with the hope. Of . re
ducing.our majorities, and thereby encour
aging their friends elsewhere, and especially
their candidate, whose despairing wall was
heard* the people in his Ingersoll letter.
But thi)3 won't dol Their "delusion" was
precisely this, that they hoped to wipe out en
tirely the eleven thousand - Republican ma
jority of last year by their own increased
poll, and the anticipated effect upon the Re
publicans of their artful misrepresentations
of questions of finance and taxation. In
this they now realize the extent of their
"delusion." The Republican people of
Maine were too intelligent to be deceived,
and too patriotic to be indifferent. -
Every Democratic speech made by ?EN
DLErox and Cox made additional Republi
can votes : ' And here we take the time and
place to say that the same thing holds true
' in every other State, as well in Pennsylvania
as elsewhere. Every proposition presented
by Democratic orators 'and presses, relative
to bonds, greenbacks and taxation, has been
effectively and conclusively shown to be a
fallacious humbug. All the issues which
they have made in that direction are now so
thoroughly vindicated and understood by
every intelligent Republican in the Union,
that' every day of their further discussion
damages Democratic prospects, and strength
ens the Union party. The most politic
thing they can do, for their own partizan
interests, is to drop 'the whole matter, as
played-out and re-acting injuriously upon
themselves, and, taking BLAIR'S advice
even at this late hour, confine their elec
tioneering for the rest of the canvass to the
real issue, upon the; legislative powers of
:Congress and the Democratic proposition
for a Presidential dictatorship. Not that we
desire, however, to discburage you, gentle
men, from continuing your good work of
making Republican votes, It is disinter
ested— ad vice that we offer you, and we
.ex
pect, se nothanks for it. Go ahead
with your fol-de-rol about bonds and greeri
backs, if you will persist in it; drive off yet
more of your honest and intelligent
voters in disgust, to enroll themselves per
manently in the Union ranks; you will only
succeed in retaining the ignorant, reckless
and violently prejudiced voters, whom the
power of no argument or the light of no
truth can deprive you of; keep these as long
as you will, for we don't want them, so long
as we can'continue to glean from jou all that
yen have that is *orth having. We are
thus gaining every hour by your own blun
dering policy. We have gained enough .
from you already to ensure you a disastrous
defeat., It is this which giveaus 9,000 more
votes in Maine than we ever cast before,
and ibis this which is to make Pennsylva
nia a stronger Republican State than ever.
The World sneers at the ignorance and
narrow-minded selfishness of the people of
:Maine. The contrast is indeed a strong
one, between that benighted population and
the refined, cultivated and thoroughly ed
ucated Democracy of the New York Five
Points and bfackereiville, or of any other
locality which, here or there, contributes
the mass of the Democratic vote. When a
Democratic journal can console itself by
that reflection, the case may well be pro
nounced a desperate one.
“DEMOCRATIC GAINS.”
Some of our Democratic friends were
whistling in the grave-yard yesterday. It
is nbt the old fashioned Democratic method
of keeping up courage; the precedents in
that party recommend rather wetting the
whistle than blowing it. But as all signs
fail in a dry time; so all rules must give way
in this unprecedented season of Democratic
terror and distress. .
"Eleven thousand of Democratic gains in
Maine;" "Republican majority not over
seventeen thousand"=--such was the refrain
of the opposition music yesterday. Let them
whistle that to the marines ; it will do for
"Bull Run" or the "Old Battery," or
wherever the Democratic voters make their
mark, but has no effect among people
who can read and write. The vaunted
"gains" are figured up on the Democratic
vote of last year, while the figures given for
the Republican majority of Monday are al
together fabiicated.
Now,, mark this, friends I The highest
vote ever given hi Maine for a Democratic
PITTMYS:I3 . ::#4:OOO, - (!fItT;DikY„: SEPTEMBEWI 8 . .•f1.868.:_ ';'
ticket was, that of 51,878 hi - 18601 the high-•
est votes ever is given in that State for the
Union ticket were 69,469 in 1860 and 69,716
in 186 G. •The votes of last Monday did not
vary one thousand from 65,000 for the Dem
ocrats, and 78,000 for the Union, in round
numbers, a Democratic increase from their
highest previous figure of less than four
thousand, and a Republican increase of
about nine thousand: On the fullest poll
ever known, we have gained more than two
votes to their one. If they burn powder for
that, our friends ought to pay the expense.
OEMO€RATIC BRAG.
It is understood all around that the oppo
sition editors and politicians must say some
,
thing about Th e Maine election, to let their
friends down easily. And, all things con
sidered, it would be unreasonable to expect
them to adhere strictly to facts. We sub
mit however that, when they consider it
it necessary t claim "eleven or twelve thous
and Vemoc tic ins " in Maine and that
the RePubli , !in i o?rity is only sixteen or
seventeen .ousinp they are cutting it
rather too f t.
The late= reportont this writing, (5 r. .r.)
. tr .
as given i . the vening Hail of Thursday,
gives the • epu icans an official majority of
21,214 in 846 towns ; adding that "the
00 towtis v et to come in will swell that ma
jority to :2,000." 1 The Portland Argus,
a leading I emocratic journal of Maine, also
concedes ; 22,000 majority, but consoles
itself with the claim that "this majority will
fall - Considerably below the estimate made
by the partY during the canvass, and thinks
the results are satisfactory, as compared
with the Radical 1111 jorities for several
years." '
Mr. J. G. BLAINE, the Chairman of the
State Central Committee. of Maine, tele. ,
graphs.to the following effect:
"The majority in Maine will certainly be
over twenty thousand. Do not put any
faith in the falsehoods of the opposition,
who seek relief from 'the' pressure upon
them by endeavoring to show the majority
to be much less than the facts warrant. "
Let the Democratic whippers-in brag' as
long and loud as they please. They are
careful not to bet. All their. cyphering and
street-corner brag can • no_ more talk away
the hard, inexorable figures which estab
tabllsh the Republican success, than Anto
nio's friend could rail, off the seal from Shy
lock's bond
THE WAY TO PRESERVE PEACE.
Whoever has thoughtfully considered the
present,condition of this country must be
convinced that the white inhabitants of the
Southern S tes are much nearer being
unanimous in po ition to the Union than
they were in 1800; that the Northern Dem
ocratic leaders are _more fully in sympathy
with the principles and purposes of their
Southern allies than they were then, and
that the Democratic organization in many
sections has a decidedly military aspect,
and could readily be used for_ assailing the
government.
The way to permanent,pese.e runs through
the election of General GELNT. Place him
at the head of the government, by the elec
toral votes not only of a majority of the
States, but by the individual suffrages of a
decided majority of the people, and the dis
loyal elements will be effectually rebuked;
the Southern agitators will not only be ren
dered powerless, but will comprehend that
their personal well-being demands that
they cease the threats of violeneO with
which they now abound, and coun
sel their 1 Ifollowers to devote their ener
gies to restoring the wastes necessarily re
sulting from the war.
The election of GRAI4T means peace.
The masses of the people so understand it;
and have resolved not simply that it shall be
accomplished, but that, the majorities given
for him shall be so large as - to shut out all
possibility of cavil or debate.
MR. B: M. BoyEn, of Montgomeryicoun
ty, Pa., iddressed a Democratic meeting in
the Fourth ward last evening, and touching
in aloose way on the financial question re
peated the oft exploded statement that "it
has cost our country two hundred and
eleven millions of dollars, in addition to the
payment of the interest on the national
debt, for the ordinary annual expenses
of the government in a time of peace,
and under Republican administration."
Moreover, the speaker stated that "through
Various sources the people have paid into
the national treasury five hundred millionti
of dollars per year in the three years suc
ceeding the close of the rebellion, and now
demanded to know how the money had
been squandered." We join in the demand.
But Mr. Bovan, who took much- pains,
once up:in a time, to establish a reputation
for honesty in this Commonwealth, should
look up his figures and discover wherein he
makes gross misstatements and , misleads
intelligent people who may not take the
trouble to examine the official records. If
it, be squandering of public moneys to
discharge part
, of the principal of a
burdensome national debt, to cancel back
dues to soldiers and Bailors, to pay bounties
to braveTJnion defenders, their orphans and
widows, to idemnify loyal localities for
losses sustained by the wave of Southern
Democracy sweeping in the shape of a rebel
army over them, pillaging, destroying and
laying waste all within reach—if all these
things fall under the' term "squandering"
we might see the honesty of Mr. BOYER'S
indignation over the needless expenditure
of the people'S money; but until we' are
convinced that they do, we blush for the
mendacity and dishonesty of these rebel
sympathizing talkers who have forgotten
how to blush for themselves.
"I'M TOLD that you have left the Demo
cratic party," said an Irishman yesterday
to a venerable and highly respected citizen.
"Who are you? What business of yours
is it?" was the Doctor's reply, and headded,
"Here, sir, I'll bet you $5OO you don't know
enough to spell the mord Hat."
The enlightened Democrat would not bet.
AT PRESENT writing we learn that worn

(Correspondence of the Plitsbuigh Gazotto.l
.--- .
As I have often noticed that the terrorism
in the South is made light of, and the re-
Ports of outrages committed upon Union
men made a subject of ridicule, thus giving,
even among our friends, the impression that
these reports - are untrue, I beg leave to
make a ample statement o !acts, being my
self a victim of Southern - olence and out
rage.
During past two ye s I have been
teaching a colored school under the dire&
tion of the Pittsburgh F. A. Commission, at
Stevenson, Ala., which is at the junction of
the ' Nashville and Chattanooga and
Memphis and' Charleston` railroads: Near
ly two years ago our school house was
burned, and last Deeember I was attacked
and severely cut with a knife, and only
I
saved my life by breakin the knife in the
hand of the assassin. - T ere has been no
complaint among the pe le in regard to my
course in any way, only that I was ateacher
of thd "niggefs" and-a Republican, or, as.
they; term it, an "A olitlonist." La , t
Thursday night, a little after midnight, six
men on horses, cover d with sheets, with
red and black cothes o , high white bats;
andwith masks on their Taces, came to the
door of my room and aroused me, saying
that I must get up and open the door.
Friends in an adjoining' house came armed
tu /
a
to their door ready to ssist me if needed;
then these midnight ou ws gave back, but
came up again, said 1 must let
them in; but, bei g armed; myself,
this I refused to dq, and replied that
if they would call in the day time, I
; 1
would talk to them, bu would let no man in
at that houtof the ni t. They then said ,
that they understood was to organize
an abolition club on the following Saturday,
and that they would "tell me not to do it."
I replied that I did not ask any odds of them.
They then remarked that they would give
me ten days to leave the country, and If I.
remained longer my "blood would rest on
my own head." On Saturday! organized a
Grant club, as they already had a Seymour
club. In the afternoon of the same day the
Seymourites of the' place and vicinity met
in open-meeting on the platform at the depot
and unanimously resolved that I must
"change 'my course or my location, " thus
virtually endorsing the action of the Su-
Klux.
About two weeks since I had a conversa
tion with a prominent Democrat at Steven
son at which time he told me that prominent
Radian% who had influenced the negroes
must leave, and if they persisted in remain
ing they would be killed. The effect of
this course upon the negroes will probably.
be an increased majority for Grant in that
section, as many of them now declare that
they will vote the Republican ticket or die
in the attempt. JAMES NICEIOLS.

Excursion to Blairsville.
Our readers are aware that .a nnmber'of
geritlemen, officers of various New Eng
land railroad companies, guests cf. the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, arrived
on a special train of that company, in this
city, on Tuesday; that they have visited a
nugnber of onr principal manufacturing
establishments, and looked through and
about the city generally. The excursion
party lett the city on Thursday at nine
o'clock A. M. via the Western Pennsylvania
branch of the Central road. Those Pitts
burghers who joined the party accom
panied it to the Blairsville junction and re
turned thence last evening. The train
stopped at the "Fairview Oil Refining Com
pany's works, " ten miles from the city,
and afforded he party time to inspect that
fine estat.lishment, Dr. Her; the Super
intendent, politely explaining the refining
process. The train halted also at Natrona,
the seat of the Pennsylvania Salt Com
pany's extensive chemical works, where
the Superintendent, Henry Pemberton,
Esq., with characteristic kindness and
p+tience, conducted the visitors through
numerous vast buildings required for
the various kinds of chemicals manufac
tured. Although everything was explain
ed, we doubt whether any of all the visitors
could give even a tolerable account of what
he saw or what he was told. Mr. Pember
ton, as a practical analytical chemist, has
no superior in the country. The extent of
the works and the variety of its products
are far in advance of any other in the United
States, and equalled by very few, if any, in
Europe. We regret our inability to give a
more particular description of this wonder
ful establishment..
From Natrona the train proceeded on
ward to Blairsville Junction, stopping only
at the "High Bridge," below Saltsburgh,
and at the tunnel and viaduct, nine miles
below Blairsville, giving opportunity,
which was glad y improved by the guests,'
to visit and inspect these great triumphs of
civil engineering.
At the junction, the Pittsburghers took
leave of the visiting party and returned,
reaching home at 5:40 £. M., while the ex
cursion train proceeded on its way back to
New York. The at' angers appear to have
enjoyed their visit and return with better
knowledge and higher appreciation of the
great railway and its branches, its admira
ble construction, its great capacity and its
vast business. They will also carry back
with them higher notions of the wealth,
enterprise and unlimited resources of our
State. It cannot but be beneficial' to our
cities and State when gentlemen of intelli
gence, engaged in the enterprises and activ
ities of other State+ visit us and become ac
quainted with our C , tizens engaged like
themselves in advancing the material inter
ests of the commun tv.

ered the storm of opposition. It has attain
ed a position beyond the reach of its ene
mies and may now be considered as one of
the principal railroad companies in the
State.
Its success may, in part, be attributed to
the great natural ad4htntarres it possesses, as
the road will, when completed, be the'great
national thoroughfare from east to west, but
it is mainly attributable to the efficiency
and energy of its officers. The unfinished
portion of the road, between Connell ville
and Cumberland, has been re-surveyed and
a great portion of it pu , under contract
again, and it is the intention to push the
work to completion with all possible qie- d.
In addition to constructing• the new por
tion of the road, the Company is making
mar iy improvements along the line between
this city and Connellsville, made necessary
by the. rapids in rease of business both in
passengers and freight. Changes, re airs
and improvements are els 1 being made on
an extensive scale about the depot in this
city. The freight depot, - which extends
from Ross to Try streets, below Water
street, has been remodeled so as to allow
cars to enter on either side of the platform,
and the car yard is being covered with a
substantial board floor. The passenger de
pot is to be enlarged, and men a
are t work
excavating the earth on the upper side for
the purpose of laying an additional track
front wh co all trains will start. and the
abed is to be extended i over it for the pro
tection of passengers in incl•ment weather.
This is a much needed improvement, and
one that will meet with hearty commen
dation from all who travel on the road, as it
will avoid the confusion attending - the ar
rival and departure of trains where there
is but the track.

HAPPINESS DEPENDS UPON GOOD
DIGESTION.
•
"'Weakness of the Stomach" is the source of more
evils than were contained la Pander's' Box. De.
Witty, headache, nervous tremors, palpitation of
the heart, and local pa'.ns innumerable, are its
direct consequences. It obscures the intellect and
gives birth to tee most absurd and incoherent fan
cies; I capacitates am to for business, and renders
persistent exertion next to impossible. Yet, strange
to say, indigestion is the most reglected of all all
meets. And this Is the more extraordinary from
the fact that an absolete, infallible speclec for the
disorder can be obtained in every city, town and
village of the United States.

CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. XEYSEIt,
of this cliv, on the various diseases of the ear, he,
says that nine out of ten cases could be cured in
their Incipiency lt'app leaflets were mace to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes frent the opinion of Wilde, a well
&flown aural surgeon, who s tys: i"I fear not to re.
Iterate the assertion 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 praet
lioners to make themsMvell familiar wills the treat
ment of the diseases of the ear.'
The Doctor says that nearly all annoying Dis
charges, Durair.gs and Morbid Growths 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.
