THIS EVENING
Hon. WILLIAM D. 'KELLEY, of Phila.
delphia, will address our citizens at the
City Hall—and, the Hall will be full.
Judge KELLEY, through the course of a
long public career, stood well forward
among the foremost and most eloquent
advocates of Republican freedom, against
the special privileges of a class or a race,
and of American interests against all for
eign rivalry. Our own Commonwealth
has had, at home or in its. National coun
cils, no truer or more efficient representa
tive. We hope to see his audience, this
evening, swelled by the presence of every
citizen who believes in the liberty of man,
and in the pita claims of home industry.
None such will go away tonight unsatis
fled.
De NOT FAIL to read the address of the
Republican State Central Committee,
/which is elsewhere published this morn
ing. It is spirited and hopeful and w'
imply repay perusal.
pnr. project for the establishment of a
new Market House on Fifth avenue, for
the accommodation of people residingte
the outlying wards, was not considered
yesterday, owing to a press of ether mat
ters. We confidently believe that the
site selected by the Market Committee
will be finally adopted-
Trim new water works question was
not reached in Common Council yester
day until so late an hour as to preclade
the possibility of its being duly considered
and discussed. ' Considerable opposition
to the site favorably acted upon by, the
Select branch, was manifested, and it , is
not improbable that the entire work will
have to be gone over before any selection
is made. We think it would be proper
and prudent for every member of the
Common Council to visit the CoLzmAN-
Thum property before the next meeting,
so that he may be enabled to vote I in
telligently on the merits or demerits of
the site.selected by the members of the
Select branch.
Tnz brief tour of Gov. GRAR:through
the *stern end of the Mate has been a
series• of ovations to the distinguished
gentleman. He has everywhere been
accorded a happy and hearty welcome,
and we want no better evidence of his
popnlarity than that famished by the
people thus far in the campaign. His
speeches have bedn masterly efforts, emi
nently worthy of his character and repu
tation, and not inconsistent with the rela
tions he bears . towards the entire people
of- the Commonwealthta as their Chief
Executive. Dignified, nthful and just,
earnest, sincere and conscientious, Gov.
GRAM: has succeeded in his recent tour
lu making many new friends and in add
rag vastly to the personal popularity he
so deservedly enjoys.
Tan liberal Republicinthun whit"' con/ .
mends itself to a large proportion of the
most intelligent and patriotic citizens of .
West Virgltdk and which the President
sneer: sally endorsed a few days since,
dose not ploie thit tarictint Pharisee of
our party, Senator Boreman. This gen
tleman proposes to resist the abrogation,
by the Republican party in that State, of
the existing restrictions upon the suf
frage, evidently preferring that this..bu
sincss shall be delayed until that extreme
moment when its Republican control
shall be quite out of the question.
It
t is
hardly necessary to add that, if he can
have his way in the premises, he is very
likely to be at that time found outside of
the Republican lines. When we observe
the fishy complexion of divers politicians
whom our West Virginia friends have
heretofore persuaded themselves to trust,
and bow disagreeably their performances
in office have come short of their previous
profession, we find'much consolation In
the assurance that better days and truer
representatives are yet in store for their
Republican organization.
THE DELAY, AND ITS FRUIT.
Spain has waited so long for a King,
that Republicanism demands to be heard
in the control of the situation. The new
ConstitUtion expressly recogulies n
ited monarchy responsible to the national
will, and the Republican Deputies in the
Cortes were, with but one or two
exceptions, unanimous in pronoun•
cing their adhesion to . its provisions.
But the necessities a the situation
change rapidly when a revolution le suf
fered to remain incomplete, and the odds
now are that the game of monarchism
has been piayed with too deep a finesse.
Spain can wait no longer for a regular
and permanent government. - Prim and
I Serrano must give place to Castellar and
purely republican institutions ) or hold
their own status at the point of the bayo
i
net.
When Visitellar, at Saragossa, a few
days since, urged upon the twenty thous
and Spaniards who heard his voice, that
monarchism should be resisted to the
last, it was easy to foresee that an hour of
trial was soon coming for that people
which had dethroned despotism with
out a .struggle, • and which had
borne the progress of intrigues the
most insulting to Spanish pride with a
calm patience astonishing to the world.
The same revolution, not a counter one,
at last advances with that step which hag
been plainly foreseen,-
ear anast d Spai ee n, which
has for more than a y p been better
governed without a crown than ever be
fore by an immemorial line of kings, is
invited to discard the forms, of royalty
forever.
The ambition of the Regency has made
the opportunity of the people. The in
trigues which have procrastinated the oc
cupation of the throne promise now to
result in overthrowing that throne for-,
ever. Republicanism, the idea of nation
al liberty and popular self-government,
has thriven while the Regency has pal
tered; it is clearly fourfold stronger now
than at the elections which summoned
the present ,fortes to the government
of the realm of a deposed Queen. The
coming struggle will show whether
the Spaniards have ripened, under the
strangely fostering experiences of the
years past, into such complete fitness for
self-government as shall justify and sus
tain the counsels of the 'Republican
leaders. If Spain be all ripe for demo
cratic institutions' as Castellar and his
friends evidently believe, her people will
make short work of the intrigues of Ser
rano, the bayonets of Prim, and the linger
ing hopes of the monarchists.
.4. SLANDERER SELF-CONVICTED.
Some days ago the Commereialoifier
recapitulating the details of a "People's"
movement in Cincinnati, against the Re
publican organization, expressed in strong
terms the belief that a similar movement
in Allegheny county would be productive
of beneficial results in defeating and
rebliking bad men who were candidates
for office. In consequence, on' Saturday
last, we appealed to our contemporary to
name the improper candidates, and to
specify in what their bsdnes3 consists.
In reply we got this, and no more:

This is not stabbing in the dark. It is
not blasting men's reputations hy sug
gestion or inuendo. It is not confounding
the innocent with the guilty, by imputa
tions so general that they cannot be met.
But this is plain and manly denunciation,
accompanied by direct and pungent spe
ettleation. In this way we would have
the Commercial deal with those against
whom its malice is aroused. But we
know it will not so deal. It is not in its
nature to be fair and honorable. Besides,
it has no accusations to make against any
one of the Republican candidates, either
on the State or County ticket, which it
da l es undertake to, support with a show
-of ;evidence. It prefers to earn a cheap
and unsubstantial reputatidis wi 6h igno
rant or passionate readers as a champion
i of reform, by sweeping but unsupported
defamation of whole classes. •
Besides, the Commercial forgets that it
put in a prompt and fulsome endorsement
of the ticket and every man on it. What
has occurred to change its views and pur
poses in regard to them? If it has come
into possession of fresh facts which war
rant its change of front, why don't it re
veal what the facts are, and so vindicate
itself as well as confound its opponents?
We offered, weeks ago, if our contem-
porary would make out a case against'
any Republican candidate to join it in,
compelling his withdrawal, or else in
securing his defeat. ,We' announced, in
the broadest terms, that we repudiated the
pretended obligation to support bad men
because they managed to be regularly
nominated. From that position we shall
not budge. now or hereafter. But the Com
mercial fails to point out any one man on
the ticket who is objectionable in character
or qualifications. It has been standing
as an accusor for months, but obstinately
refuses to tell who it is incensed against
and for what reason. We cannot 'join
hands with it in so flagitious and dis
reputable a crusade.
So long as our neighbor maintains its
present attitude, it ought not to wonder
that it receives no countenance from the
Republican National, Stan, County and
City organizations. If it was engaged
in hunting corrupt men out of positions
of influence, it would be rendering
l torious service to the party, but it does
nothing of the sort. It simply assails the
party, without specification and proof, as
persistently and commonly nominating
bad men. On this ground it urges in a
withdrawal of confidence and support
from the party; and urges independent
movements for its overthrow.
When we set- out a week ago It was
with the intention of constraining the
Commercial to take such an attitude *as
would abundantly satisfy all reasonable
citizens that it had in point of fact no def
late complaints to make against any one
candidate on the Republican ticket; in
other words, to demonstrate that it was
not a reformer, but a disorganizer. Hay
accomplished all that, we now go about
other business.
• -
MR. PACKER AND 1114 TAXES.
the point raised against Mr. Packer
that he has dishonorably evaded the just
payment of taxes has produced such
effect upon the voters of the Common
wealth, that his leading advocates have
been forced to take up the matter. Of
course, in dealing with the facts e
they n
deavpr to make them carry the beat possi
ble face, to this end straining them from
their natural connection, and interjecting
some statements which are not facts, but
flagrant misrepresentations.
Onthe Philadelphia Age
Saturday,
made a vigorous but unsuccessful attempt
to prove that Mr. Packer had ever
sought to avoid the payment of never taxes
properly assessed or assessable. Its as
careful, however, not to make any u
sion to taxes alleged to be owing to the
General Government on several millions
of dollar&in bonds held by that gentle
man, or on income from other sources.
The first point it makes is that Mr.
Packer did not chriage his residence from
Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia, in order
to get rid of taxes, but to meet the neces
sities of his business. Now, we are
aware that a place of residence is very
much a matter of intention rather than of
argument. A. man may have as many
homes as he can afford, or finds conven
ient. But, we must be allowed to say
that when the Age gravely affirms that
Mr. Packer, having a fortune of twenty
millions of dollars, took up his abode in
a third-rate hotel, and stays there year
after year, because he can find no dwell
ing house to shit him, it makes s state
ment which it is really difficult to accept,
especially in view of other facts which
cannot be Ignored.
Mr. PACERS'S taxes at Mauch Chunk
amounted in 1867 to more than half of
the duplicate of that borough. It was
at this precise pinch that he put in
the plea that he was no longer a resident
of. Carbon county, but was a'resid of
Philadelphia. So far ,as this &cument
stance counts at all, it is not in favor of
the position taken in his behalf.
But it is claimed for Mr. PACS= that
in 1867, when he contested the payment
he
of his taxes in Carbon county, did so
because his personal property was as
sassed ae well as his real estate, and this
on the plea that hispersonal estate should
have been assessed in Philadelphia. It is
farther claimed that he paid the whole as
sessment, with the under3Usuding that
thencefonvird his paiong .property
should sotto Aated'ln Carbon. The
ta
testitwisn2l4o4mo=
in him to pay a large sum of taxes for
which he was not legally liable. It seems
more probable that he consented to pay
those taxes becsase none had been as
sessed against him% Philadelphia. The
inference would be that in Philadelphia,
at least, he had kept quiet as to his claim
of being a citizen there, insomuch that
he was not on the assessor's list.
The only other point of consequence
brought forwaid is, that prior to 1868, Mr.
Packer was individually liable for taxes
upon interests held by him in the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, and that the C9mpany
was made liable therefor by act of As
sembly of that year; and hence the dif
ference between the respective assess
ments at Manch Chunk and Philadelphia.,
This will not do. The act of April 29,1
1844, made interests in any incorporated
company subject to taxation, and in cast
dividends were not declared and paid,
provided for an appraisal of the stock, and
subjected the stock itself to taxation. The
plain meaning of the law was that th l e
respective companies should pay thes,e
taxes; but a somewhat loose practice
may possibly have grown up; some com
panies paying and others leaving te indi
vidual stockholders to pay, but of h
this We
have no evidence, and none especially in
the case under consideration.
The act of March 31, 1864, extended
the application of the former statute, but
so far from modifying it, providld for the
forfeiture of the charters of all compa
nies that failed to comply.
The act of .May 1,1868, which was de
signed as a general revision t e pf the iris
system of the State, made no change \in
the taxation of stocks or dividends, but
only made'it mandatory on the varieus
corporations to pay the thxes assessed on
their capital or earnings. It cannot,
therefore, be true that an alteration in
the law in 1868, released Mr. Packer fr m
a large amount of taxation to which he
had previously been liable. Whoe er
will take the pains to compare the stet tes
of 1868, 1864, and 1844, will see that is
is so.
If we recollect right, the Lehigh Ve ley
Railroad was not completed until the
summer of 1867. The first quarterl
re
turn of business made by it to the A di
tor General, in conformity with the tax
laws, was made in November of 'that
year. When it commenced paying divi
dends, we have no means of determin
ing. Prior to paying dividends that
stock was subject to appraisement each
year for purposes of taxation, and the
Company itself was bound to respond..
So far, then, the Age has not cleared
this case at all, but only contrived to
show how little can be offered in de
fence of Mr. Pecsain in the matter
wherein he is incriminated. If it, has
more light to shed, the voters will be
glad to see it. It has become decidedly
fashionable for rich men to be strangely
poor one day in the year, and that is
the day they make returns to the asses•
sore. There has been more of this than
the masses are willing to stand, or than
the general government can endure. It
may be that whoa Mr. Dada:o shall
have the income taxes for last year re
assessed, additional information may be
accessible on this head. Let him.hurry
up, ,S 0 that Mr. PACKER'S case may be
authoritatively expounded before election
day.

THE OTOICNOR•TICE. CASE.
The Final Decision of the Referee viii
\ dicating the Messrs. Tack.
The general business community must
be thoroughly acquainted with the his
tory of the case Which has for some time
past occupied the attention of the Phil
adelphia Quarter Sessions, of James
O'Connor vs Brottens, a vexatious
snit growing out of an oil transaction
made by the defendants in their cap
acities as mmission merchants acting
ss factorsco forthe plaintiff. prior
to the commencement one suit,
the Messrs. Tack sustained an
enviable reputation forhoneaty and
integrity, and their friends ware f ag
grieved that the charges made by Mr.
O'Connor should have obtained publicity
before any opportunity was afforded for
them to. tie fairly and squarely met in a
court of Justice: At the inception of the
announcement that the suit had been
commenced, the Pittsburgh Petro
leum Association, having large confi
dence in the defendants, unanimously
passed a resolution asserting their faith in
their honesty and asking for the sus•
pension of public opinion until such
time as the matter might be isosed of
in a legal • manner. The p l ai nttiff ten
aciously followed the case, and bad-en
gaged in the prosecution very bright and
able legal gentlemen in order to insure
the conviction of the defendants evi
dence of an exhaustive and thoroughly
searching nature was taken, and
proved voluminous enough to
fill a enteel sized boat:. Indeed, con
sideregd from every stand point the trial
was a most remarkable one. and as it
has resulted in a beggarly award to the
plaintiff whose claims amounted to over
thirty thousand dollars, the vindication
of the Tack Brothers is full andsomplete.
They had much at stake iu the legal
duel, inasmuch as their vast business
connections, their high reputation as
commercial agents and operators and
their personal characters were involved
in the issue- They now emerge from
the legal ordeal with name and fame as
bright as ever and with no diationorable
act fastened upon them.
We herewith subjoin the decision of
the referee which is final and conclusive,
both parties being willing to acquiesce to
t as it conies from such a distin
guished, honorable and unimpeachable
source. It may be welt to preface the
statement with the announcement that
while Mr. O'Connor's claims amounted
to 131,881.25, the Messrs. Tack put in
counter claims of $3,978.79, and the award
taken on claims and counter claims,
several of which have been allowed
either party, making the balance of the
award in favor of 3.1 r. O'Connor. Here
to the decision by ex-Judge Story of the
Supreme bench, the Referee;
"I, the undersigeed,to whom the fore
going reference was made, under a rule
of the Supreme Court of January 21,
1869, having been duly sworn justly and
equitably to try all matters in variance
submitted to me, having heard the par
ties at length by their counsel, and hav
ing considered their claims, proofs and
averments, do report that J. find there is
due, and I so award, to the plaintiff,from
the defendants, the sum of six hundred
and ninety seven dollars and eighty.eight
cents.
In explanation of this award, I add that
I have charged the defendants with the
differences due the plaintiff on their sale
to him and Robert Finney of twouty-five
hundred barrels of oil, in March, 1837,
with interest thereon; also with what
the plaintiff has become liable to pay in
consequence of his contract with M. and
P. Badetty, made through the. defend
ants, with interest thereon, and also
with one thousand dollars money, bad
and received by the tiefendants to the
use of the plaintiff, with interest thereon.
/ have disallowed ALL °mint c Loins
OF TEE PLAINTIFF AS NOT SUSTAINED
IN LAW AND IN FACT.
I have credited the defendants with
commissions e irnal so far as I think them
entitled thereto, and with interest thereon.
I have also credited them with money
expended by them in settlement of a
contract of plaintiff with Kirkpatrick dr,
Co., also with five -eighths of a sum cf
money expended by them in tae s
u m
merit of a contct f the .pintiff with
Bunker Bros. it ra Co. , with intere ai st on said
sums. The larger claims of the defen
dants I have disallowed.
By the agreement under which the
case was referred to me, it was stipulated
reference , and the acompensation of the
phonographer, as well as the taxable
costs of the civii . suits, which have been
instituted, both as against the defendants
and the suit against the plaintiff, shall
be paid by the party or parties against
whom the referee shall make his award."
I have not thought this authorized me
to include the costs in'those civil suits in
the sum awarded, but at the request of
the counsel of both Parties I report that
of those costs and expenses there have
been paid by the plaintiff, including in
terest thereon, the sum of seven hundred
and eighty•two dollars and ten cents,
which, under the agreement, is duesfrom
the defendants to the plaintiff.

THOU B ORTRINGEi4T BIE LIES
LUNG-W.
One of the truest and most stiggestice ideas
can be obtained from the caption at the bead
of this article; for of all diseases which impair
human health and thorsen human life. none are
more prettalent than those which agent the lungs
and pulmonary tissues. 'Whether we regard lung
diseases In the light of a merely slight cough,
which Is but the fore-runner of a more seriotut
malady. or as a deep lesion corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant with evil and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should the physician or
the friends and family of the patient be more
seriously forewarned than in those of the lungs,
for it is in them that early and efaelent treat
ment Is most desirable, and it is then that danger
can be warded off and a cure effected. In DR. •
KEYSER'S LUNG CURE you have a mtdicine
of the greatest value in all these conditions. An
alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent,
succoring nature and sustaining the recupera
tive powers of the system, Its beautiful
Inge, in in harmony With the regular functions, can
be readily observed by-the use of one or two bot
tles: It will soon break nu the chain of morbid
sympathies that disturb the harmonious work
ings - of the animal economy. The harrassing
cough, the painful respiration; the sputum
streaked with blood, will soon give Place td the
normal and proper workings of health and vigor.
An aggregated experience of over thirty years
has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of
his LUNG CURS. to, give new bone to the con
auteptive invalid and at the same time speedy
relief in those now prevalent, catarrhal and
throat affections, so distressing in their effects
and so almost certainly fatal in their tendencies,
unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DR.
KEISER'S LUNG CURE is so thorough andef
fielent. that any one who has ever used it, will
never be without it in the house. It will often
cure when every-thing else fails. and in simple
cases will care oftentimes in a few days.
The attention of patients, as well as medical
men. is reapectfully invited to this new and
valuable addition to file pharmacy of the coun-
ry.
