TUSSLE are such general complaints of the bare faced frauds revealed in the re turns of wealthy citizens for the income tax, that the Departthent has under con sideration the propriety of ordering an entire new re-assessment. We have not heard how this proposition strikes the tax dodging millionaire who , heads the oppo. sition ticket, but probably he regards it as a proof of that Radical oppression which he so fervently hates. - He perhaps thinks $8,95, contributed .to i the ''unexpended balance" in our State Treasury, quite enough of taxation for his Binned means. SO MANY rich men have contrived, hke Mr. PACKER, to avoid the payment of taxes on their incomes; that the Com missioner of Internal Revenue is dis posed to order a complete reassessment. He ought not to hesitate. A. careful scrutiny into the returns of this class of men will show how many of them are worthy either of public position or of private confidence. Of course, there are many upright and otherwise excellent men among them; but there are also some of the other sort. Let a sifting be made, so that the honest may be distinguished from the dishonest. List MONDAY the Select Council of this city voted to purchase the COLEBIAN property, situated seven or eight miles up the Allegheny river, and to locate thereon a new reservoir with a view to affording a full supply of suitable water. To day this proposition will come up in the Com mon Council, and we earnestly hope and expect that its decision will accord with that already reached in the other body. All Investigations heretofore made have concurred in the conclusion that the Al. legheny is the true amine of our water supply, and the abLost unanimous vote for the CoLstev site in the Select Coun cil indicates thatit is the most available spot, and is offered at a reasonable price. THE. American Board of Commission• ers for Foreign Missions will hold a con vocation in the Third Presbyterian church of this city, commencing on Tuesday of next week, October sth. This Board-is one of the most conspic uous religious corporations in the coun try—made so by the personal, and social eminence of the individuals of which it is composed. but more especially ,by the vastness and grandeur of the enterprise in which it is engaged. , How many del-. egates will be present. cannot be defin itely determined in advance. The esti mated !number varies from twelve to twenty-tis hundred. In the list of those who will certainly attend are the names of many individuals widely known, not only in this country, but in Europe, for scholarship, for professional . attainments and capacity in the higher walks of busi ness activity. It will be, P under whatever aspect it may be viewed, a notable assem blage. MS TIIE Leader, in discussing the edict recently issued from the Catholic Cathe dral of this city commanding all adhe. rents of the Romish Church to withdraw their children from the public schools, affirms that "This is putting the ecclesiastical screws down pretty strong." And then naively' adds: "It does seem to be a violation of equity that a large class of the comninnity is compelled to aid in the support. of a school system, the advantages of which are de nied to them by their religious convictions and the rules and discipline of their church." Will our neighbor explain, if the "reli gions convictions" of large numbers of the Catholic communion cons traine d _ them to take their children out of the public schools. why it became necessary to put down: "the ,'eocledastleal screws pretty strong" to tnakethein act up to those con victionst To'our secular understanding, there seems to be a bad hitch in this logic. Tag Tarry of the *Metal comrattalett- lions of our Minister to the Madrid gov errnment are not yet receivgd at Washing ton. The Peruvian Minister in this court try has been notified that his demonstra t dons of concern for the Cuban insurgents are indecorous, and must be moderated. The latest advie473 . from Cuba are not fa• vorable to the rebel cause. Jealousis are'distracting their 'atuncils and' pan; lyzing their action. Several of their. leaders have been assassinated, and the American element in their camps has be come so obnozioutt as to threaten more serious trouble. Our rebel renegade and defaulter, Jordan, Ilasbeen degraded from the superior command, and Cespedes has personally taken the field, to re-animate a drooping cause. In the meantime, it is a strong point made by the Havana press, that the insurrection lives only by the aid of American sympathy and support. That aid is about to disappear altogether. If the latest report from Cuba be -true, that Jordan has offered to sell oat to the Spanish authorities, the final collapse of the revolt is near at hand. The report is credible, since we remember how that notorious individual hks betrayed every cause which ever yet trusted him.

I THE LUNATIC'S (Ho WALL STREET Beyond the passing inconvenience to the interests of solid trade, in the inter ruptions resulting from the generalexcite ment, we have no , L regrets to indulge and no sympathies to 1 xpres.s for the victims of this latest frenzy of cupidity. The individual operatOrs who have disregard ed the cautions of experience, the plainest instructions of common-sense, and, In most instances, the palpable dictates of 1 commercial hon ty, trust bear the con s - sequences for hemselves. But some thing is due to 'e higher interests of so ciety, to prevent, if possible, the recur rence of a condition of things which has for three days convulsed the financial centre of the country. Considering the Instantaneous effect of the announcement that only four millions of Government gold were about be sol bona fi de, and the cash paid for to it on de d livery, upon the wholly fictitious market of last week,we perceive that the gamblers, who were buying and selling, on paper, in sums of from one to ten millions, sand to an amount, in the gross, for , a single day's transaction, of over three hundred millions of &Afars, were smitten as if end a stroke of lightning. That was the end of their game! It remained only to survey the field and to place the victims out of the - public sight. Not even the tour mil lions to be offered were sold; an actual transfer of half that amount has snaked for the occasion, and the bravado of the gold-room has been thoroughly squeched. Here, then, is indicated the practical rem edy which should preclude the repetition of the last week's disastrous fienzy. Time transactions in cold should be legally construed as engage ments for immediate delivery._ 1 This would prick every such bubble as soon as it gathers shape, and that would be the end of the unreal speculations which support the New York gold lroom. The Secretary of the Treasury has done simply his duty in the prenfises. Pre vented by law from selling gold w thout notice, he gave that notice when it be came evident that governmental interfer ence could no longer be delayed. No in. telligent citizen doubts the propriety of his conduct in declining to interfere in the course of private commercial transac tions, until it was rendered imperative by public considerations. Whether it would have been better for the Treasury and for the country, if he could have thrown large amounts on the market without jnotice, - that is not the law. Until Congress shall otherwise order, this notice must be given, as it was last week, and this Admin istration 1%, throughout, in the haof men who obey the law as they find tt, and there may be an honest doubt as to the ,expediency of changing, that law, when we see that this notice is of itself potent enough to lay the evill spirit of speculation, as it at the word. The Sec retary has wisely and profitably exercised quite as large* discretion u thellaw may safely pat within the reach'of any Trees ury.officiaL We are, not, always certain of a IRKFTWELL in that place. l Fortunes - made, and lost, in lan hour, ruined speculators ernzeti or plunging into suicide, the movements of regular trade partdized, the financial transactions of an entire people ttunporarity blocked, a fever of excitement ending, in a crisis of gen eral disorder aOd a crash of tie whole fabric, overwhelming its buildere in a com mon destroction--this is substantially the story of the last week in the girt city of New York. The country 'survives the shock which destroys its own !engineers, and the madness of the hour Will be for gotten or remembered only las another proof of the fatal power of that accursed thirst for riches which has studded the world's history with the records of hu man 1 frailty._ I _ _____ THE Republicans should remembo that in some respects the coming election is ono of peculiar importance, and every veto should be polled. For instance, in 1871 the Legislature will have devolved upon it.the duty of apportioning Bennsylvasta both for Congressional and—Legislative representation. Both of these apportipn ments have, not fallen on the same year since 1801, and will not fall on the same year again till 1941. This condi'• eration is of great political Importance. LAST TEAR, in Philadelphia, the Repub• licaas had a bloody time in the DSTSCICISt• IC wards, although , the pollee and mayor were Republicans. This year neither police nor`mayor are Republicans, and.

Br inning of Activity in Political Circles —.l'be Democrata tir Watling up • mirage • —Republican Meeting at Germtown —S, Meeting in Philadelphia on an Mon day Night. (Coreespoodemee albs Pittsburgh Gazette.) , Primal:W.l,sta, Ps., Sept. 25, 1869. The activity in political circles, which usually characterizes the closing days 01 , the campaign, has fairly commenced. Both parties are industriously at work, vigorously pushing their interests. On the Democratic side tae leaders put on . 'the appearance of doing little, and in this : Manner unquestionably hope to deceive , . the Aepublicar.s into undue negligence iit exerting their full efforts. The Demo crats are doing little speaking, but documents filled with the usual amount of misrepresentation and abuse are being largely circulated. The Democrats are counting on a Ireduced vote by which alone they admit they can carry the elec tions, and they are taking the underhand. ed method of working secretly to throw the Republicans'off their guard. This fact should urge every person interested in the success of Republican principles and institutions, the security of the Na tional credit and the general prosperity of the State, to' do their best to bring out the vote of the party on the twelith of October. The discord in the Democratic ranks in this city, instead of being removed by the reconstruction of their ticket, is still lull of rancor, and the dissatisfaction in a large class almost amounts to open rebellion. The Democrats have calculated largely upon carrying this city_ without any , very tangible reasons for such a very neceMary result as far as their prospects are Con cerned. , They have been making a' great effort to disturb the political equilibrium of tho working classes and the Government employes, but so far it has been uphill work. There is no doubt of the carrying of the city on the Republican ticket by from two to four thousand majority. It is very doubtful whether the Democrats will be able to bring out a full vote, on account of the recent disturbance in their camp, and the leaders themselves show evident signs of fear and trembling. Their greatest hopes are based upon a majority here. In the country districts, except proba bly the Lehigh region, the vote, accord ing to accounts. will not vary materially from that of 1868, or if it does, the favor seems to be on the side of the Republi-, cans. In the Lehigh valley there is being made an extraordinary effort, for the rea enn of its being Packer's own vicinity. Here the Democrats expect a decided in crease. The campaign has not sufficient ly advanced to furnish any just grounds of determining with what result. Up to the present time, however, the work does not seem to go on with any decided assurance of realizing their great expectations. The large interests of Packer in this region will be forced to their full extent in exerting the necessary influence. To suppose that Packer carries that beautiful valley of the Lehigh in his breetches-pocket, as some people are dupes enough to believe, is a gross mis representation of its people. The State Republican Committee here are actively engaged in bringing speakers from all parts of the country and are send ing them out into the State, reserving also a good share to enlighten the waver ing of the city of "Brotherly Love." Last night a very largeand enthusiastic Republican meeting was held in the town hall at Germantown. The place was handsomely decorated and illuminated. The meeting being - called to order by W. F. Smith, Thomas W. Walker was chosen President. Atter the announcement of the Vice Presidents and Secretaries, Mr. A. Wilson Henzey was introduced. The speaker set out with a lively venti lation of the Democratic tricks and the various disguises used to deceive the peo ple. He spoke of the Republican party being the party pledged to the security of the national.debt. That the Democratic party had but one remedy, and that was repudiation. He spoke of the calamities that would inevitably ensue from this Democratic doctrine. The industries of the country would be ruined and the pub lic honor abroad would be disgraced in the eyes of the struggling muses of Europe, who look to this country as their only hope of elevation in the human scale and in the enjoyment of liberty for theii selves and comfort -for their families. Be showed that the poor man would suf. fer more than the rich by such an infa mous act as repudiation. He spoke of the war and its fearful sacrifices, brought on by the very party which today seeks power out of the malicious spirit of Dryer. turning what has already been accom plished in bringing the country , to its present attitude, *kith demands respect at home and abroad. Daniel Martins, theouch Chunk, was next presented to audience. The : speaker said he came from the home of Judge Packer. That much had been said lictires of that gentleman's popularity in the Lehigh valley, bu he had failed to dis cover upou what rounds.. He spoke of cover Republican p yas the friend of the g eat industrial in is of Pennsylvania. John Covode, hairmanof the Repub lican State Com ittee, was next called out. but as the our was growing late said but a few ords and retired amid great cheering. During the m) Invincibles past numbered betwi dred, and with candles and tore spectacle. On Monday Penn Square s inl distinguished er present, amonk, United States Bei Kilkenny Ationg the Gold Ganiblere Our New York papers have full reports of the exciting scenes among the ,gold speculators during the latter half of last week. We note.briefly as follks: The constant . use of the Gold graph instruments for the past two days has impaired them ao greatly tlu t their use at one o'clock had to be suspended , for an hour. The excitement run so high that some of the bears threatened to shoot the lead ing brokers on the bull side. One pf these brokers then stepped forward and dared any one to shoot him. None of the bears accepted the invitation. • On Wednesday $324,524,005 of gold were right and sold. ,Thursday._ bust. ness sit Is believed, was much larger than this, the dranaactlonithus tar .to.day are undoubtedly larger than defizilir.t4 ccarrcVinittkle on-eitir :023' met 50 the--itr 4,-I'7 3 .It , I i ,tl~lji I . S fI.J a..y ceding days.„ In the _Gold Room it was reported that fifteen small firms are known to have failed. The Tribune says that the corner in , gold was manipulated by Wm. S. Wood ward, Jay Gould, Jas. Fisk, Jr. Marvin Bros. & Co., Smith; Gould, Martin & and other prominent operators. Smith, Gould & Martin have suffered very heav ily, and are reported to have failed, but their names were officiall deed in the Gold Room. not Jay Gould y and cl J ar as. Fisk have probably lost largely from having bought heavily when gold was about 50, and had not sold out before the price tumbled. About 80 Minns are re ported, but it is impossible to ascertain what houses have actually fallen. Said a very young but very heavy opera tor, "I made $lOO,OOO in a jiffy, bat I would like to take ten per cent. of it for my chance of the whole. I don't suppose I will turn out to be all broke." "My profits were over $75,000," said 'another, as he regaled himsel with oysters after the turmoil; "but I have been excited with fears about it the last half hour, and have just found out that my fears are quite certain to be justified." Again came the Washington rumor, and this time, it was said, direct from the special Treasury agent in this city. It was asserted that Grant had ordered Boutwell to sell the gold, and that he would order him to sell five millions, if necessary., Away went the market in another rush, and never recovered until it touched. 133. In the street it went lower. The bulls were ruined men; men were maddened; Speyer grew erazy;lis eyes seemed fixed in despair; he spoke to his friends in a husky voice, and Dished about the little fountain as if in ter. ror; at length he raised his hand and shouted hoarsely to the heated, struggling mass below him. This extra ordinary spectacle nearly silenced the ope rators. In a tew words Speyer accused some unknown person of an attempt to assassinate him. 'He is after me now with a big knife 1" shrieked Mr. Speyer. "Look 1 look 1" he continued: "Don't you see the knife 1" As it was evident he was crazed he was placed in a carriage by his friends and sent home. Mr. Speyer was not the only one made momentarily crazy; one of the members of the Board informed the Bun reporter that under the undue excitement he felt his mind giving way, and took a Madison avenue stage np Broadway, as far as Canal street, to re cover his balance. Mr. Speyer announced his failure him self, _ and stated that lthe gold he had bought to-day was on verbal orders from J. Fisk, Jr., from whom he had neg lected to obtain anyl margins, and he could not take his purchases. At this he was compelled to make a hasty retreat from the Board. The crowd soon after made a rush upon the office of Smith, Gould, Morton & Co. and only the active efforts of the police prevented its being gutted. They teized Fisk and threat ened to hang him, but he was rescued with no more damage than a black eye. The crowd continued in the street until a late hour, and the presence of a large police was necessary to preserve order. It is believed that the suspension of the Fisk and Gould party are mere ruses to gain time, and that nearly all the falter ing firms will be prepared to meet their liabilities. This is merely a rumor, and is not credited. If Smith, Gould &Mar. Mar tin, Fisk Sr. Belden, and others of the bull concerns, settled their accounts ac cording to their face', the other side will escape losses which they have had reason to fear. When the news of the bursting of the gold bubble came up stairs to the Regular Board there was a momentary lull. Then a certain well known leader in the old North Western party sung out, "Now is the time to go in for Central." The Vanderbilt shares I received an impetus from that moment, and they rose steadily. The rumor spread l that the Commodore had come to the rescue d and his stocks were firmly advancing . the street and offices a better feeling was noticed at once, and though the gold bubble burst with force, it seemed a relief to the bur dened ones. And they were not slow to take advantage of the change; Men. who had been lately bearing the stock market and bulling" the 'gold, at once changed about and began-to bear on the gold and bull on the stocks. A. comple revolution took place within twenty minutes. If the main movers in the affair, Messrs. Fisk and Gould, come forward and meet their engagements, and thus aid others, everything will move harmoniously in the street to-day. The commission bro kers of the street are openly delighted at the panic, for they say the thunder and lightning of the past few days will clear the sky, and drive from the street the ir responsible harpieswlao have formed "corners" and preyed upon the public generally. The moral - presented by the sickening spectaelels that , it may take, merchants and other business men from the street,' and they will learn that even sharp players can be beat at a game where loaded dice are used. There was no•rea son for the gout and tumult of the last few days. The whole story' in a nutshell is: A combination of powerful men boldly struck out for an object which they nearly attained, and everything that stood in the way. was; compelled to go before them. Business was made to etaud still, the poor to suffer, the ner vous to experience alarms, while "bulls" and "bears held high carnival. ro y a i hair iti or Ling the Republican dby the hall.

The "Old Fogies" of Councils. MESSRS. EDITORS : The Commeraaf is never happy save when it is abusive; is never satisfied unless it is inconsistent. In Friday's issue I noticed a violent at tack on certain members of the city councils who refused to vote money out of the city treasury to wine and dine the several hundred California pioneers who came this way on a pleasure excursion. The editor chose to style all such who put themselves on record against the needless expenditure of several thousand dollars as "old fogies," lacking public spirit, and intimates that better ma terial should till their places 1 What consistency for the journal of retrench ment and reform to exhibit ! Guillotine those men who refuse to make contribu tion out of the city treasury for a grand "municipal drunk," as , such _occasions are sometimes termed. I think nine men out of every ten will stand by the so called "old fogies" in all their votes which have in view public ecmomy in the administration of the city affairs. I admit that it was unfortunate that the subject of extending the hospitality of the city to the "Pioneers" should have been brought into Council and then killed; but it is much better that the • city should occupy the embarrassing po sition entailed than that our debt should "be materially increased to no good purpose. I think I reflect the opinions of nine-tenths of the tax-payers of the city in saying that the "old fo gies" are not to be derided or decapi tated because,' forsooth, they refused to cast a vote for a needless and unprofita ble expenditure of the moneys-for which they as custodians are responsible to their constituents. Let us have a little more "old fogyism," if men with eco nomical ideas can be classed in the cat egory. • JUDGE. Alor THOU BRINGEST BE LIFE LUNG-IN ORT.
