THE DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH IN TEN—

Democratic politics Was witnessed at Le

men visited the house of a lady who was
teaching a colored school, menacing her
with violence, and even striking her with
their switches. The ball is opening again

Trim. rtnnultLlOANS of Our° areopen
ing a vigorous canvass. Not a day passes
without the holding of one andore mass
meetings, largely attended, address
ed by the most influential and effective
orators of the party. The meeting at
Alliance, last evening, had Judge BING.
ULU for its principal speaker.
in all parts of the State, our friends are
nominating the strongest tickets' for the
Ipegislatufe!., ,•;A Au.3,ghiega,.selections
were made on Monday which that county
will ratify with three thousand majority.
There, as in all the districts of Ohio, it
manifestly the Republican purpose
to fortity still more a strong State ticket
_with the most effective local considera
tions. Ourifriends are wisely on their
guard against an opposition trick which
won two years since,—making the tight
ostensibly on the Governor, but keeping
a Legislative majority always in view as
the most important objective point. The
Republicans of Ohio do not propose to be'
caught napping a second time. They
will now, eecure all departments of the
State government.
VIE COMMISSIONERS of the Sinking
Fand advertise for one million dollars of
State bonds. This announcement is the
best answer that can be given, and as
good an one as can be desired, to the
Democratic demand for a change in the
political control of this Uommonwealthl
Notwithstanding all the clamor that has
been raised, from time to time, about Re
publican extravagance and corruption,
the public finances are steadily improv
ing ; the enormous debt fastened upon
the tax-payers by successive Democratic
administrations diminishes constantly ;
and in comparatively a few years, will
be entirely wiped out.
In a matter of this sort, the people of
Pennsylvania will be swayed by those
considerations of prudence which they
enforce in all departments of private
enterprise. Where any set of agents, en
trusted with important concerns, are do
ing well, it is regarded as folly to dis
place them and put others in their places
who have done badly, or are altogether
untried.
At Washington, as at Harrrisburg, the
financial burdens of the people, are so
looked after as to be reduced. It is a
homely maxim, but a sound one, to "let
•
well enough-alone."
OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN
On Thursday, September 2nd, the peo•
ple of this section of the commonwealth
will be addressed, on political topics, by
Senator MORTON, of Indiana, at a mass
meeting to be held in this city. We are
quite sure that a very large attendance
will mark the great popular desire to hear
the views of this distinguished orator and
statesman, who stands to day among the
foremost advocates of Republican opin
ions. Our Executive Committee will
make such arrangements as will enable
the speaker to be easily heard, by the
largest audience which will be drawn to
gether by his National- reputation. It is
not necessary to invite a full turn-out by
the Republicans of Western Pennsylvania;
that will be a matter of course. But we
shall welcome, also, a large delegation
from our frieads iv Ohio, for whom the
great speech of the occasion will have an
equal interest'.
A FINANLIAI! TRIFLE.
There is something refreshing, if no‘
sublime, in the cool assurance with
which some of our cotemporaries, of
whom we may venture to remsrk that
they seem to be profoundly devoted to
the republicanization of Cuba, insist
upon the duty of our government to pro
mote that work, by lending its guarantee,
to` the trifling extent of fifty or a hun
dred millions of dollars, to the bonds
which are to secure the liberation of that
island from Spanish thraldom. If these
journals, of which we speak, 6, really
in good faith, entertain the faintest shad
ow of confidence in the Cuban ability to
redeem the principal, saying nothing of
their punctuality in paying the semi-annu
al interest thereon, their simple generosity
of trust in Cuban promises, and in the
Cuban ability to perform, transcends any
example of reliance upon public or pri.
vate honor yet witnessed in human af
fairs; When the adminisiration, 'or any
member of either brancli%of Congress,
for whose prudence, integrity and
capacity for public affairs, the people are
accustomed to feel the slightest regard,
shall ever betray the first sign of real
sympathy with this insane proposition,
it will be time enough to discuss such
merits as its friends may claim for it;
until that moment shall arrive, the hon
est and practical intelligence I 'd the
American pUblic will only regard this
auggestion, for the guarantee of Cuban
bonds, with the contempt which it seems
to court.
THE INCOME TAX.
All taxes are unpopular. Most men who
derive all the uses and advantages of a set
tied and orderly Government wish not
to pay therefor. Of course it is not pos
sible, in the nature of the case, tha
reluctant taxpayers ' should be gratified. t
But the income tax, in this country, teems
to be more unpopular than any other. At
all events, there le a vast amount of dis
honesty, if not perjury, practiced in or-'
der to evade it, , in whole or in part. In
addition to the' general objection that it
takes money out of tie pockets of in&
viduals, and puts it into the National
Treasury, it is alleged that this sort of
tax compels an offensive scrutiny into
private affairs. We are not prepared to
admit the pertinency and force of this
objection. No tax can be levied ,and
collected except upon property, or the
means by which property is righ fully
acquired, and the legal inquisition ay as
well take one form as another. hose
men who pay on the heaviest in
comes, make the least complaint, and for
thO sttiftclent reason that no tax is niore
ettnitable *Win, znifOrinly Enforced, ; . it
tahst i only ;iani!'thosa iilio are ablett o

pay, and precisely in proportion to their
ability. This tax is upon surplus, and
hence it is less objectionable than any,
other.
It yields somewhat less than fifty mil
lions of dollars a year; but if it shall be
abrogated, this sum will still be raised.
How can it be procured easier or more
Justly than out of the abundance of the
rich? Besides; ft to manifest that if the
wealthy shall not be required to nay in
this form, they will not contribute pro
portionately towards the expenses of the
government. To illustrate the point—
A. T. STEWART has an income of three
millions of dollars annually, and pays
thereon five per cent., or one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. This is no hard
ship; /nor does he claim it to be. But,
repeal the income tax, and he will con
tribute little if any more to defray the
public charges than many men holding
much smaller estates.
It may be found expedient, upon fuller
co►eideration, to enlarge the amount of
income excepted from .taxation; but the
effect of totally abrogated the tax, should
be consideted maturely, and from all
standpoints, before the measure shall be
decided upon.
Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette
Mummy, August 23, 1809
Although not on the mountains, or
located in a forest-grove, I find this by
no means an indifferent place for sojourn
ing during this heated term. The hotels
are comfortable, and the society all that
could be desired, while the atmusphere
is pure and healthful, and the degree of
heat much less than in your city. For a
few days sojourn Greensburg, if not ab
solutely delightful, is quite an agreeable
locality, and in the way of hotels first on
the list is the Kettering House, which has
been remodeled, greatly enlarged, has
been
in all respects first class, at an
expense of some t 40,000. Mr. Ketter
ing, one of the proprietors, a native of
of the town, is universally known as a
prince among landlords, accommodating
and agreeable to the last degree.
Among others we found enjoying the
hospitalities of the house,and who is for the
present a resident of Greensburg,was Dr.
S.S.Christy,late of the Oil Regions,a most
genial gentleman. He employs his
leisure moments in occosional contribu
tions to the press, and enjoys a literary
reputation above mediocrity. -
The Covode—Foster investigation draws
its slow length along, and is seemingly
devoid of interest to the general public.
Evidence was being taken last week at
Latrobe. So far "Honest John" seems
to have the better of Gen, Fostei, and the
impression obtains that he will gain his
point.
The people of Greensburg are specially
favored in having S. S. Torney, Esq.,
an old editor and citizen, as Postmaster.
He was formerly on the "other aide" in
politics,but having joined the ranks of
the "ar Democrats " did not see fit to
return to a party which has nothing of
principle left, existing only in name. He
took charge of the postoffice not long
since, and there can bli no doubt that its
affairs will be most faithfully adminis
tered by him.
The newspapers here seem to be flour
ishing about as usual. The Herald, Re
publican, remains under the guidance of
Mr. D. W. Shryock, and creditably main
tains its standing. The Democrat, Kee
nan Sr Clark proprietors, seems iu thrifty
condition, as also does the old Argue,
edited by John M. Laird, these two latter
establishments furnishing the Democratic
thunder in Westmoreland.
In the way of improvement there
has been a start made recently, in re
futation of the assertion that the town is
about "finished." H. P. Laird, Esq,, is
putting up a very fine residence, pressed
brick front, on the Main street, and build
ings are also going up in different parts of
the town. The "Laird House," a new
and very fine building,, is a recent erec
tion, and presents quite a fine appearance.
The "McQuaid House," Reublican head
quarters, looks much the same as it did
twenty years ago, when Col. Rohrer kept
it, and seems greatly in need of rubbing
up, both inside and out..-
The close of each week finds quite a
number of city denizens here, woo re
mainuover Sunday, and thus enjoy for a
brief spell pure air, good w—ater, and
hospitality of the genuine kind, such as
-Westmorelanders know how to extend.
Yours, H.
Millions of people. in England live a'
most entirely on baker's bread. Here,
for example, is the way of life of a sober,
hard-working man, who earns 18s. a
week, (say $4.50 gold standardi) and has
a wife and six children. He neither
drinks nor smokes, and hands over his
whole wages to his wife. This is a
'common practice in welhordered families.
She pays 4s. a week for rent; ls, for
coals; candles, soap, &c., 9d.; a penny a
week each for the six children to a burial
club, 6d.; on a doctor's bill due, ls.
Here are 78. 3d. of the 18s. gone and
nothing to eat. Now the bill of fare for
those eight persons: One pound of bread
a day fore each—the children scarcely
taste anything else—comes to 7s. a week;
_twenty pounds of potatoes, Bd.; one pound
butcher's meat on Sunday and two pounds
of salt pork for week days, 28.; one
pound spgar, half pound butter, one
ounce tea, 13d., make up the week's ac•
count. INo milk, no fruit, no clothing.
The only way they can have that is for
the children to get work or to' die,
then
something would come in from the burial
club. Thousands on thousands of men
work for two•thirds these wages or less.
Plenty, even in large towns, work for
12s. a week. Thousands cannot taste
even the Sunday meat dinner. Great
numbers never taste butter; they get a
little dripping as a substitute. In a Lon
don shop on a Satuplay night, you see
great heaps of penny and half* penny
packets of tea, and penny virorths of
brown • sugar ready done up for "people
of moderate incomes." I once had a
curiosity to buy a half-penny packet of
tea—a Cent's worth. It resembled musty
clever hay, and a decoction tasted as you .
might fancy the drippings from a heap of
dead leaves to taste at the end of a hard
winter., •

More Light.
There is a singular expectation prevail
ing, throughout the world of thoughtful
men, that some memorable scientific dis
covery is at hand, which will contribute
largely to the comfort and well eing of
mankind. Such impression has more
than once been the prelude to a splendid
achievement, and the general expectation
may be significant of a pressing need
which will command Its own satisfaction.
The-sPecial aim now held in view by
so many, we need scarcely say, is a
method of furnishing cheap and abundant
light and heat; and even men of science
are often sanguine enough to predict that
within a few years the oil, gas and fuel
now so familiar in our homes will largely
give place to something more easy_ to
produce and tar more efficient.
The American Association fcr the Ad
vancement of Science is in session at Sa
lem, to-day, and a paper is be read upon
"Flame Temperatures in their Relations
to Compositions and Luminosity," pre
pared by the well-known' chemists,
Messrs. Silliman and Wurtz, and under
stood to embody many of the results they
have reached in thee researches into our
sources of artificial light. It is already
known that these two gentlemen have
been engaged for many months in a se
ries of investigations, with the view of
finding some cheap and common substi
tute for coal, water being the principal
substance looked to. It is claimed that
they have already succeeded in obtaining
oxygen in large amounts from water by
a far easier and cheaper process than any
before known. Cheap oxygen means a
cheap light, the most brilliant which ar
tificial means can make; and if their dis
covery proves to be practicable on a
large scale, we may hope soon to have at
least the streets of great cities brightly it-.
luminated at night, at a low cost.
At first sight, it appears that the suc
cessful analysisof water, for common use,
is impossible. Water consists of the two
gases, oxygen and hydrogen, in close
union, the energy with which these ele
ments seize upon each other in combustion
being peculiarly intense. Now to sepa
rate two elements in combination, it is ne
cessary to find a third which has a great
er affinity for one of them than the other
has; that is to say, it requires a greater
force to sever them than that which holds
them together. But if we have the great
al force ready, why use it to obtain a
less one? For the- force which holds the
gases is precisely equal to that which is
developed again b,' their union; and fire
and light are only forms of force. This
argument is not quite conclusive, how
ever; It might have been applied ten years
ago with still more plausibility to the
production of such metals as sodium,
magnesium, and especially aluminum,
which are now obtained in large quanti
ties at a low, cost; the last of them at a
very small part of the cost then supposed
to be unavoidable.
Mr. Stillman is well known to the
country. Mr. Wurtz, his associate in
these researches, if less known, has in a
high degree the confidence of practical
scientific men. He is the original discov
erer of the fact that a very small propor
tion of sodium in the mercury used for
collecting gold from the ore, Intensifies
its amalgamating energy, and largely in
creases the product. Although this im
portant improvement has been stolen in
all ways, the profit of it taken here by
using the "sodium amalgam" without re
spect Co his patent, and the honor of it
misdirected in Europe, by the neglect of
such respectable writers as Mr. Crookes
to acknowledge the American's priority,
yet it is well known here that Mr: Wurtz
announced the discovery in New York
long before it' was known to British
chemists or to practical miners. The
names of these gentlemen will attract
general attention to any discovery in the
art of producing light which they may
vouch for as a real contribution to civili
zation.—N. Y. Post.
Dr. Parish's Inebriate Asylum ,
In combatting that terrific vice, intemp ,
erance, which, worse than war or pest' ,
hence, threatens the` destruction of our
young generation,Dr. Parish has wisely
accepted the teac hing of all experience,
and starts with the fundamental principle
that, as cures for inebriety, all cruelty,
personal correction, physical violence,
harsh treatmentof whatever kind, are not
only useless in themselves, but in the vast
majority of cases they absolutely tend to
increase and aggravate the very propen
sity they were intended to correct.
He recognizes the much ignored
fact, that, .the only effective men
tor to setmonize .an inebriate should
be found in the awakened con
science of that inebriate himself,
roused to a sense of his own depredation
and spurred by a determination to recov
er his own lost manliness; aria tbat the
only effective asylum for such an irdivid.
nal is one to which he comes voluntarily,
seeking assistance to work out his own
reformation. Now this is just exactly
what Dr. Parish's institution is intended
for—to extend to fallen humanity a sup.
porting cruch, not a belaborin
lo g
ped cudgel.
The doctor t . has gallantly deve this
theory in the face of manifold opposition,
with what success I leave the reader to
determine.
"My establishment," he exclaimed, em
phatically, "Is no prison, no insane asy
lum; my young men are free to go where
they please and when they please; nor
do I wish them to feel under any restraint,
except such as may be self.imposed by
their own desire to benefit themselves
•and gratify me. If they wish to leave
me they are free to do so. I will not act
the ignominious part of tunrkey. While
they stay with me I trust to their honor
that they will not infringe any of my re
gulations. —Lippincott's Xagastne.

A photograph of the famous bronze
statute of the Amazon, at Berlin, was
taken some years ago with some une.c•
countable markings. From the tip of the
lance, which is held by the figure perpen
dicularly, a black streak was noticed ex
tending upwards, two other similar
streaks projecting from prominent pinta.
The picture was sent to Professor Dove,
well.known from his investigations in
connection with light, and after examina
tion, the Professor gave it as his opinion
that the markings were due to discharges
of electricity 'from these points, which,
though invisible to the naked eye, were
of such active power as to produce a pho
tographic effect. More extended observa
tions and subsequent experiments have
fully . confirmed, this hypothesis, and

Is Marriage 111 Danger !
The growing laxity of the marriage tie
and the ease with which divorces are now
obtained in nearly every State in the
- Union, have called out, on the one side.
such men as President Woolsey to de.
claim against the dangers which threaten
this social relation, and, on the other side,
there is now a regular school of writers
and religionists who boldly announce
their opposition to the marriage institu
tion. The small beginning of Nichols,
who wrote a novel advocating free-love,
has at last culminated in an established
literature devoted to that end. As might
be expected, Chicago is the - seat of this
new school of writers, and Chicago pub
lishes and supports a large weekly journal
avowedly devoted to the abolition of
marriage and the substitution of the larg
est license. The contributors to the
journal are generally . women, some
of whom sign only their initials to their
contributions, while others boldly annex
their names, maiden or marital, to the
ideas they advance or advocate. The
West is also producing a series of novels
written by such women as Mrs. J. S.
Adams and Mrs. Caroline Fairchild Cor
bin, covering with the thin disguise of a
s'ory a pronounced advocacy of the free.
love doctrine. One of the writers in the
anti-marriage organ to which we refer
says in a recent issue: "There is
scarcely anything left now but the name
of marriage, so loose is the system of di
vorce becoming, when parties are left as
free to unmarry as to marry, and that
point is almost reached. The old idea of
marriage is dead past hope of resurrec•
tion;" and this writer rejoices that it is
so, because marriage "is contrary to the
whole spirit of the age."
The supporters of the new organ and
the new school of anti.marriage litera
ture may be counted by the thousands at
the West, and at' the East even. Mrs.
Stanton has written a pamphlet which
more than insinuates that the existing
laws relating to marriage are necessarily
bad, because they are wholly framed by
men. The laws relating to divorce are
every year and everywhere becoming
more lax. The other day conservative
South Carolina granted, at Charleston,
the first divorce ever permitted in that
State. The women's rights business is
really an approach towards individualism
and individual action in all things, in re
gard to the marriage relation with the
rest. The positive advance the new and
dangerous doctrine is making and the hold
it is taking upon large masses of people
is a matter of grave import to the future
of this country, and the subject com
mends itself to the philosophers and
preachera who are interested in our social
progress.---N. Y. World.

BeetleCt for the Sabbath.
(From the Albany Aries.]
A. friend of ours, in Alabama, who is
very proud of his old Scotch prefix "Mac,"
recently visited the land of his forefath
ers, and among other calls made one
upon a Scotch cousin, an old gentleman
of seventy-`our, a clergyman of the Es
tablished Onarch (the Presbyterian), at
Liberton, three miles from Edinburgh.
The minister invited his Yankee-Scotch
cousin to dine, with him the nest day,
which happened to be Sunday. Our
modest friend, who knew from the tra
ditiOns of his ancestors that their "Sabba
day" used to be kept in a very strict
manner in Scotland, thought that his
kinsman bad forgotten the day in giving
the invitation, and intimated to him.
The old gentleman at once broke out:
It's all right, molt; we are nae sa strict
noo as we used' to be. I mind weel,
since, when I was far younger, awhile I
was studying fo the ministry at —,
awa up in the Hieland, we war w'out a
minister. Several cam along to preach
on treaal, and aiming 'Wars, one who
preached a sight guid ssrmon, -that
greatly pleased the people, as the deacons
and elders told him when he cam doon
from the pulpit. But one of them, a mon
who was soor and crabbed, and always
.finding fault at som - ethin', said:
"Minister, ye hae a very clean face.
How eft do ye shay?"
The minister,replied: "Avry day."
"Did ye shay this morn?"
"Aye," said the minister.
The deacon shooked his head knowing
ly, and went among the people and said:
"This mon will nae do; he brake the
Sabbaday—he shaved this morn."
And so he was not hired.
A. bit after, slather minister came along,
who, perhaps, bad heard the story of the
ither's failure; and he preached also and
pleased the people right well; but when
he cam doon from the pulpit, one of the
elders said to him:
"Minister, do you think it right to
gang into the pulpit of the Lord's house
on a Sabbaday wi sae dirty a face as ye
haP?"
The minister replied: "Aye,
mon, I
agree wi' ye. Me face is nae that clean
all over as it should be; but last nicht I
bad barely finished me sermon when I
bethot me I was no shaved, and I jump
ed up and I got just as far as ye see, when
the clock struck twal, an' I stopped, for
I wad na brak the Sabba-day."
This mon they hi red, for he respetk it
the Sabba-day-
After this story our friend accepted the
invitation, and dined well with his ScOtch
ccusin, the clergyman.
A CONNECTICUT paper tells an anec
dote of one of the substantial men of New
Haven, who had been chosen to the dea
con's office in one of the Congregational
churches in that city about the time that
the picture of Jephtha, now in the Yale
art gallery, was the subject of general
conversation. Two members of the
church were discussing the new appoint
ment, and one of them remarked that
be feared Deacon B. did not know Scrip
ture enough for a deacon. "Why," said
he,"l'll prove it." The two proceeded
to the store of the deacon, and asked him
if he could tell him who was this Jephtha
and his daughter that everybody was
talking about The good deacon sus
pended his work for few minutes, and; f
ter pondering the question for le
while, slowly answered,"Jephtha—let me
see—yes-yes—Jephtha—why. he was—
of course --yes, Jephtha-he .was one of
Napoleon's marshals.
