THE GREAT AMERICAN DODGER.
; We take •pleasure in doing justice to a
pOiltiettl opponent. Here; for' example,
is the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania. Heffiould be credited
with absolute consistency in his dodging.
Never has he once violated the unities in
`this direction: Beginning, long ago,
with dodging
,iegular Democratic noint
-nations and giving his vote to Know
Nothing candidates, his ability and sue
cess-as'lr lattice' and financial dodger
have been.:l4llllantly illustiated by his
subsequent career. He dodged DouoLt, s

his dodges have succeeded. Since Febru
ary, 1868, this Artful Dodger has dodged
out of the payment of his personal taxes,
dodging from Manch Chunk to PhlladelL
phis and back again, until his juggling
dodges cut down his payment from thirty
two thousand dollars to less than nine
dollars per year ! The history of
the Commonwealth does.. not present a
more brilliant record of consistent
successful dodging than this. By all
means, .Tddge Packer should have the
credit of being the retiresentative Dodger
of the Period! But he , can't dodge the
people in October
WRY GET UP A PARTY. ROW?
The Commercial, in the lack of any ex
isting internecine war in the Republican
ranks, seems determined to get up one on
its own account. The recent visit of
Gen. GRANT to the western end of the
State, is seized upon, by it, as a fit occa
sion for sliowing its disorganizing ten.
dencies; and although all-the other Re
publican papers in the State can - find
enemies enough in the Democratic party
to fight, just now, it,can find no foeman
worthy of its steel except within the Re
publican lines.
Thelelection of a Republican Legisla
tire, ot a Republican Governor, and the
surrAQ of the Republican cause general-.
ly, are nothing in its eyes so long as Mr.
J. D. CemEnox exists undemolished by
its prowess. He is the Mordecai sitting
in the King's Gate. who stirs, up all the
bile in the breast of the Haman of that
sheet, and for several days past it has
been superlatively busy in putting up a
high gallows for his execution.
The offence of Mr. Cemxitos consists
in the fact that, being a railroad Presi-
dent, he has shown to President GRANT
the courtesy becothing a man in his posi
tion.' This ! and nothing more. To be
sure, the> Giommercia/ attributes to him
bad motives for this, and abuses him
without stint, throwing all sorts of mud
and filth at him for some wicked schemes
he is supposed to have in view, which
exist only in the imagination of the editor
of that parie l t . ; but not a single fait has
been or can be adduced to justify this
abuse, beyond the single one of the cour
tesies properly shown by Mr: CAMERON.
to the President of the United Suttee.
We submit to the Republicans of West
ern Pennsylvania, and partieularly to
those of Allegheny county, that there
has been something too much of this.
The President is abundantly able to take
care of himself, and the concerns of the
nation, and does` not need to be uphe:d
by any such attempt to create a party
broil. The duty of the Re
publican party. , at this crisis, is to reelect
Governor Geary and secure htmthe co
operation of a Republican Legislature.
If the Commercial does not want to take
a hand in that work, let it say so, and be
classed as a Democratic sheet, if it
chooses; bat let it not •pretend to be a
Republican sheet while directing all its
guns at the Republican lines.
We do not step in, here, to defend Mr.
C P ameron. He needs no defence. He has
done nothing that any other man would not
have done . ; under similar circumstances.
He had treated the President with due
courtesy and respect, as befitted him, and
has been guilty of ,nothing else. If that
is a crime in the judgment of our neigh
bor, the punishreent it attempts to finale
is far more condemnatory of it than o
him. What we,object to is this effort on
the part of a nominally Republican paper
to breed a fight in the party ranks on the
eve of an impoittint election, and without
the slightest justification for it, except the
dreams . conjured up by an addled imagi
nation or a mind diseased.
We observe that: our Republican ex
changes are already noticing , the extreme
readiness of the Grotittnercia/ to kick up a
shindy in the party it nominally belongs
to, instead of fighting the common foe.
Their continued attention to its aberra
tions will do no harm.
IRE SINKINIG FUND.
• The Harrisburg. Patriot, Mr. Packer's
central organ, came out With a flaming
article, not long since, Charging the Re
publicans of this State with having squan- I
_dere4l aver twenty-three millions of the
Sipking Fund Educe December Ist, 1860.
The figures in this article were very
plausibly grouped, but so many essential
figures were . withheld that the: conclu
sions drawn seemed too ridiculous for even
a Deinocrat to believe; get, as it is barely
possible some of them may be misled, by
thils dishonest , array of figures, we think
it may be worth while to expose the de
ceit, especially as the exposure shows how
low a Packer organ can go in trying to
mislead the public.
The Patriot gives a detail, from the law,
of the several items orrevenue set apart
by our statutes ,for the Sinking Fund,
which iscotrect. It - then proceeds to state
what the annual, receipts of this fund
have been since December Ist, 1860, •
ivhichis not correct. In the table below
we give , In the first column, the receipts
of the Sinking Fund as stated by the Pa
triot. and •in the second the actual re
celpts of that fans, for each year, as ob

gate:it was in error to the extent of only
$1,686,153.06. This is probably h . near
as any paper of that class could come to
telling the truth. "i t
After giving these details, thus inaccu
rately, the Patriot proceeds to say:
The State debt on thetrat day of De
cemuer. 1860. Was 827 976,181.7 8

In other words, the Patriot would have
its readers believe that the Republican
State administrations since the election
in 1860, have received over twenty-three
millions towards the extinction of the ,
Public Debt, whicht sum hainot been ap
,l,
plied to that purpose. -
We have already shown an error of
over a million in these figures. Let us
now see the chicanery with which this
deficit is manufactured.
- _
The law 'creating the Sinking Fund
provides that the money received, into it
shall be applied first, to the payment of
the Wardle on the Public Debt, and
second to the extinction of the debtitself.
The Patriot, in its calculation, leaves
out of view, altogether, the interest paid
on the public debt since December 1, 1860,
amounting to an average of two millions
yearly.
This would seem to be a deliberate fal
sification of the record on the part of that
paper. With the Sinking Fund law be
fore it, in making its quotations, it could
not possibly have overlooked the provis
ion made by It for the payment of the in
terest-on the State debt.
But more; the State, in 1861, contract
ed a temporary war loan of $475,000,
and afterwards a more permanent war
loan of V 3,000,000, thus adding that much
to the debt. This important fact the
Patriot also suppresses. We have thus
tha following slight corrections to make

This is the correct showing, as any
one can ascertain by applying at the State
Treasury, or .Auditor General's office,
and the attempt of Mr. Packer's central
organ to create a belief by concealing the
important figures in the case, and hand-
Lag the others to suit, that twenty-ihree
millions of the public funds have been
squandered, is the baldest attempt at po
litical fraud we have witnessed for a
long period.

The coming of - President Grant to our
town lo.day is an event worth recording.
We feel proud to have him in 'our midst
for a feta days.
A telegram this morning from your city
announced, that the President would
reach here by three o'clock, r. n. An
impromptu meeting was held at the Court
House, atiehich it was arranged that the
Burgess and • Town Council, together
with a Committee of fourteen citizen ;in
cluding the resident ministers, should do
the honors of reception. It was also pro
vided that all the scholars of the Public
School should be put in position on Main
street, in front of the Court House.
At two o'clock the Committee of. Re
deption, in carriages, accompanied by
many others—probably forty carriages in
all—started to meet the coming President.
About a mile and a half out of town
they did so.
After being welcomed by Mr. Boyle,
i n
a very happy little speech, the Presi
dent took a seat with him in an open car
riage, and followed by the procession,
entered town. The •street along which
he was conducted was lined with eaget
' and pleased spectators. Flags were float
ing in all directions, and the town wore
quite a gala appearance. The President,
as he passed along, bowed right and left.
When the carriage reached the place
where the children -were congregated—
some seven or eighthundred of them—it
stopped for a moment, and the President
stood up that • all might see him.
He passed on through town, escorted
by those who had gone to meet him, to
the residence of Mr. - Wm:' W. Smith,
where he and his family; are to have
their home while they remain here, and
a delightful borne it is, too. '
A committee of two, consisting of Maj.
Ewing -and.l-Col. Hopkins, was charged
with the duty of making some arrange
ment, if possible, with the President by
which all of our citizens who may desire

Ix SPITE of the reiterated reports of
failure by the various managers of opera
troupes, there seems to be a fascination
in the life which renders those who once
come witliiu its magic influence thence
forth totally indifferent to mere pecu
niary losses or embarraasments. Mar
etzek, for instance, is in a constant state of
complaint. Judging by his statements,
he always loses money, but he invariably
comes up smiling again at the beginning
lof a new round. This year there is to
be an unusual , number of travelling
opera troupes, in spite of the long pro.
claimed fact that nothing bat legs and ,
tinsel will now draw an audience. On .
the 20th a newt French troupe com
mences a season\ of legitimate French
opera in New York. Maretzek is organ
izing a troupe with Miss Kellogg—who
doesn't seem to be able to leave her
native land as prima donna. Then most
of the members of Grover's favorite
German troupe have again united, and
besides these the rival English opera
troupes are in full blast. Out of all this
musical melange, we shall have a fair
share in Pittsburgh, and shall doubtless
enjoy it as well as we always do.

ONE of THE most popular English pe
riodicals has, of late. been Dr. Guthrie'a
Sunday Magazine. This publication has
been almost unique in its nature; that is,
it has had a religious vein running
through it. Evincing the very highest
ability in its editors and contributors, it
has been neither sectarian nor mawkish.
The trouble with most of the so-called
religious periodicals has been that they
seem to be prepared for aclaaa of readers
to be found within the walls of asylums,
for weak-minded persons. , IsTo one ddubts
that this la whOlesome subtle' -food for
babes, but as we grow up we like to have
something a little more o 1 the nature of
roast beef. The Sunday Afagazine sup
plies the heartiest food. Messrs. J. B.
Lippincott & Co., the Philadelphia pub-
lishers, have made arrangements to issue
an American edition of this magazine,
which needs but to be known to be at
once accepted as filling a void long felt
in the ephemeral literature of the
country.
PITTSBURGH is Dy nature and habit
quite undemonstrative and 'reliable.
President Grant has the same Character
istics. On Tuesday they met fairly and
squarely face to face, for the first time.
The President, saving a slight flush or
occasional smile, preserved his self-pos
session, but the city for once forgot re
serve. Everything but the fact that the
hero of Shl lob, of Vicksburg, the man
who had led many Pittsburghers to final
victory at Richmond, and who is now the
people's President, was in the midst of
us. Our bid smoke-begrimed city
couldn't stand that; people who pride
themselves upon their stoicism fargot
their pride, and the result was an ova•
tion as spontaneous as it was hearty.
They say, General Grant was pleased, and
he may well have been, for we doubt if
he ever was met with a welcome which
came more trim the heart and less from
policy and pockets.
• PEOPLE say that, if we wait a little
while, royalty and patrician rank in the
old world will have ceased to be. In
looking about us, it almost seems as if
the time had come already. Formerly
trades ; people were• trades people and
nobles t were nobles, but now we find
dukes, 'earls, barons and knights direct
ing insurance and railway compahjen,
presiding at banks, and in more than
one instance keeping books in wholesale
houses. Add to this the fact that Napo
leen, Victoria, - the Kings of Sweden and
Sazimy, and a host of leaser sovereigns.
are authors by' profession, and the King
of Denmark depends for a large share of
his income on the profits of a beet-sugar
factory of which he is senior partner, and
we think it is almost proved that the days
have come when the lion and the7lamb
are to lie down together, and the com
mercial equality of man acknowledged.
WE STAVE just passed through what
might be called a "real old-fashioned
summer"—plenty of 2 4n111, plenty of
grain and immunity from disease. In
most cases, where our harvests have
been as plentiful as this year, we have
had the drawback of an overpOwerlng
heat, acoomppnled by prevalent or epi
demic diseases. But this Year bee .been
a model one; less sickness than venal is

THE COURTS.
Quarter Sessions—Judge Mellon.
THURSDAY, Sept. 16.—The first case
taken up was that of the Commonwealth
vs. John 'Jay. and David Ludwig, indict
ed for felonious assault and battery. The _
defendan J ames it is eged, shot at and
woundedMcCombs while he was
picking blackberries near Turtle creek.
The jury returned a vordict, of not guilty
of the felony, but guilty of unlawful cut
ting and wounding. Mr. Schwartzweld
er, counsel for defense, stated that he
would move for a new trial and in arrest
of Judgment in the case, on the ground
that the trial bad been conducted and
concluded without the presence of Lud
wig, one of the defendants.
The case of the Commonwealth vs.
William Woods and Brinker McClin
tock, indicted for aggravated assault and
battery. McClintock. was placed on trial
and plead not guilty. It appears that
McClintock and Woods caught Morris
Hunter, a boy, and one of them held him
while the other cut him with a knife.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty
and the defendant was sentenced to the
work house for three months.

The next was a ferocious dog case in
which Mr. Keyser was indicted for
keeping an animal of the canine
species of a ferocious nature, in which
John Schneitzenger appear - ed as prose
cutor. It was alleged that Keyser 's dog
attacked and bit the prosecutors
daughter, a little girl ten years of age.
It was ascertained from the evidence
that Keyser did not keep the dog but
that it belonged to another man., Jary
out.
The case of the Commonwealth vs.
James Anderson,
previously reported,
was submitted to the jury at eleven
o'clock, but had not agreed upon a vir
diet when Court adjourned.
The Infant of the Period.
A few evenings since a waif of human-
ity was nicked up on the steps of a man
sion in the First ward, and thereby
hangs a tale. The little charge; a blue
eyed,fair haired female of some six weeks
age, was taken in charge by a hospitable
lady until some further disposition
could be made of it.. _The lady tired of
her charge in a few days, and yesterday
it was banded over to the kind care of
Alderman Humbert. This tact became
noised abroad and was the occasion of an
excitement in the precincts of the genial
magistrate's sanctum, only excelled by
the fluttering of Tuesday. Visitors to the
number of one or two hundred dropped
in during the day, mainly of the male
persuasion anti with singular unanimity
were struck with the beauty of this in
fant of the period to such an extent that
a contest sprang up between them as to
who should have possession of the
"somebody'a darling." The contest nar
rowed down to the official and a well
known gentleman on the South Side,
each of whom declared it should be his
at any cost. Aidermanic fervor finally
reached an intense pitch and incited its
possessor to bid twenty dollars for the
child. Gentleman from the South Side
was not to be beaten in this man
ner, and be went thirty better and
thus the conflict began. Finally it was
knocked down to the Alderman for the
neat little sum of 11150. The fortunes of
the wait , however, stopped not here.
Further consideration evoked the idea of
again disposintsof the coveted prize, and
an arrangement was effected whereby a
second sale Will take 'place, the money
realized from which is to be placed.,,at in
terest and allowed to componnd until it
shall be of age, when the dowry thus se
cured shall be handed over to it.
The time of the second sale is fixed for
next Saturday evening at eight o'clock,

THOU BRINGEST DIE LIFE--
LUNG-WORT.
One bt the truest and most suggestive ideas
can be obtained from the caption at the head
of this art.cle; for of all diseases which impair
human health and shorten litunanlife, none are
more prevalent then those which affect the lungs
and pulmonary tissues. W huther we regard tun g
diseases in the light of a merely slight cough,
which is but the fore-runner of a more sellout
malady. or as a deep lesion - corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant withevil and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should, the physician or
the friends and family .is; the patient be more
