a large part of the catastrophes on rail

Tnnium was a lively bit of sensation
lurking in a recent statement industri
ously circulated by the press. that the
intervention of the Treasury in the New
York gold market, last vireek, was against
the judgment of Secretary Boutwell, and
only made at the express direction of the
-President. More than one very sensibly
conducted RepubliPan journal was delu
ded into the publication of this story.
And there have been' found so many
unreflecting persons to believe what
should have been at once stamped
at a canard by people who know how the
President systematically and absolutely
declines to interfere in the business of the
- Departments, or with the
etaries, official disere-
lion of 1 SeCr
11$ thft . t it km been
found advisable to print, in the Washing•'
ton papers of yesterday, an authoritative
denial of the story. The Secretary's or
der to sell gold was given after consulta
tion with the President, and its policy
had the cordial approval of both.
THE next Olaio Legislature will consist
of thirty-seven Senators.and one hundred .
and eleven Representatives. The. Cleve
land Leader presents a carefully prepared
list of the several districts with the nomi:
nations of each party therein. Our
friends feel sure of electing eighteen of
the Senators, conceding fourteen to the
opposition, with five in doubt, four of
them from Hamilton and one from the
Belmont and Harrison district, for all of
which the Republican ticket has the best
chance. They also count upon fifty Rep
resentatives, certain, with the best claims
upon Hamilton and four other doubtful
counties. It appeds, from this statement,
that the control of the new Legislature
will rather reward the more adroit man
agement of the • successful party, than
necessarily follow a small majority on the
State ticket. The re-election of Governor
Hayes is no longer a question of doubt,
but itls not clear that his majority will
be large enough to guarantee a clean
sweep of all the doubtful districts:,_
N. P. REED,
Judge KELLEY'S speech, last night, in
City Hall, was a clear, massive and con
clusive analization of the principles
and tendencies, the conduct and pur
poses, of the two political parties into
which the people of this country are divid
ed. Few among our public men, so
well understand the history of these
partlei. and, _ consequently, the course
of public affairs; and not one takes
broader or more comprehensive views
of the rights of individuals or the
necessities and destiny of the nation.
His wonderful knowledge of facts, and
his admirable powers of generalization
were particularly conspicuous. . . Those
who were present, no matter what their
own attainments, _ were not only en
tertained but instructed—lifted into a
clearer conception of the nature and
Mission of the Republican party
and the indispensability of its continu
ance in authority, not only for the pres
ervation of the public honor in its finan
cial engagements, brit for the security of
personal liberty, and the continuance of
a long career of increased national pros
perity, usefulness and renown.
PITTSBURGH. GALF.:O-11: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1869,
TIIE CANVASS IN THE_ MI
DEMOCRATIC PECULIARITIES.
The real leaders—sot the apparent—
of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
are rich men. Mr. Asa Packer is one of
them. Some of these leaders possess nat
ural mental endowments combined with
exact and varied culture altogether be•
yond the average of their fellow-ciuzens.
Mr. Packer is not one of these. He is a
fortunate baldness man. As was once
said of Mr. Hamilton Fish—he is a bag
of dollars; but shake the dollars out and
the bag would be found entirely empty.
The masses of the Democratic party
cherish a morbid dislike to men_of wealth.
They hold that wealth is robbery; that is,
that if a man has more than could be fairly
acquired by rough or skilltd muscular
work, he must have obtained it through
fraud, more or less flagrant. Hence the
nomination of Mr. Packer for Governor,
by the Democratic State Convention, did
not 'excite their sympathies, but rather
enkindled a feeling of repulsion, if not of
disgust.
A certain class of active politicians
among the Democrats were at first de•
lighted with the candidate.. This class is
composed of the men who, in all the cities
and large towns, rally, drill and wield the
tumultuary element—the substratum of,
the party. Not that they cared a pinch
of snuff for the candidate, but were cap
tivated by the plethory of his finances.
They thought that be would furnish a
fabulous amount of money for the cam
paign, and hoped that most :if* it would
fall into their hands. Reports that seem
to be tolerably well attested! are current
to the effect that the millionaire candi
date obstinately refuses to make disburse
ments for political purposes at all com
mensurate with the expectations that had
been formed, and that there is, conse
quently, much disgust at what is regard
ed as his untimely parsimony.
It is manifest, in this view of the case,
that the Democrats committed& blunder
in selectinethe heaviest capitalist in the
Commonwealth as their standard-bearer,
The Democratic masses would possibly
have forgiven a candidate his, wealth if
he had exhibited an unusual genius for
statesmanship, or had otherwise distin
guished himself In any of those perform
ances which arrest public attention 'and
elicit popular applause. But to ask them
to grow enthusiastic over a candidate with
no claim upon their regard but the pqs
session of enormous wealth, was to betray
a surprising ignorance of their deepest
prejudices. The greedy whippers-in
would have been satisfied if they had re
ceived, either in coin or greenbacks, the
price they put upon their slimy services.
But to have a candidate who is able to
meet their requisitions, and who is still
unwilling to do so, is what they cam
scarcely endure. •
Hence Mr. PACs B, notwithstanding
his neutral qualitiestwhich, under various
circumstances, are of manifest and incal
culable advantage, is a .. fallure. He has
Inspired no ezdhusiasns; and will inspire
none. He is forelooitied to defeat.
Nothing can save him' from it;' and this
the leaden who brought him forward
now understand full well'
:.;
THE TREASURY . FOLIVY OF RE..
DEIRPTWN.
Opposition writers upon finance, and
unhappy Jeremiahs like Mr. Pendleton,
find grievous fault with the Secretary of
the Treasury for his application of the
surplus revenue to the redemption at a
premium of bonds
,which, like the five
twenties, have not reached an obligatory
maturity. Even so respectable an au
thority as Hunt's Merchants' Magazine
inclines to an unfavorable criticism upon
the Treasury policy, since it quotes the
principal objection from the opposition,
without settling it summarily with the
reply which should have been obvious to
a well informed writer upon, finance.
Say the objectors, "Why purchase
bonds that need not beheld due for yet
eighteen years, paying for . each million
about $1,200,000 in Money, and so in ef
fect, adding to the public debt ? Why
not, instead, pay off the vast aggregate of
debt now over due, payable on demand
and reducible at par, instead of giving 20
per cent. for the privilege of redeeming
bonds eighteen years before maturity ?"
oor "vast aggregate" of over due debt,
to which this reference is made, consists,
in effect, altogether of the circulating
medium of the country; it is the legal
tenders and fractional currency, the
compound-interest notes (upon all of
which no interest is now payable) and
the three per cent. certificates. Besides
theie funds, there does not exist to-day
more than two and a half millions of
matured debt reducible at par. Not a
dollar of those fdrms of debt can
be reduced and cancelled withoutthereby
directly contracting the currency. This
is palpably-evident of all but the three
percent. certificates and compound-in
tereist notes, and equally true of these,
since ' every dollar of them—over
03,000,000 in the aggregate—is held in
the bank reserves, and if redeemed must
be replaced in the bank vaults by green
backs withdrawn for that purpose from
active currency.
Should, then, the Secretary be assailed
for declining thus to contract the curren
cy, it will only remain to refer to the
express provisions of law which forbid
that contraction, beyond the ilxed limits,
in any way whatever. f 1 mosv foreign cities there is a law

A ratvnTE letter from Gen. Reynolds
to the President exposes the coalition in
Texas between the rebel element and the
Republican supporters of Hamilton. The
paragraph below affords to the President
abundant reasons for extending the sup
port of the Administration to the party of
loyalty and progress. We quote:
The circumstances all considered, I
am constrained to believe that the coali
tion which has been charged as existing
between the Conservatives, or A. J.
Hamilton Republicans, and the Demo
crats (generally ex-Rebels) does actually
exist The platforms of the two wings of
the Republican party are precisely the
same. The Radical wing act oat their
professions of adherence to the ReCO
htruction laws of Congress, and prese tt nt
for office men who are qualified under
these laws. The. Conservative wing fre
quently nominate men for office who are
known to be disqualified under the Re
construction laws, but who are also
known to be acceptable to the Democrats.
The success of the A. J. Hamilton fac
tion, as it will be produced by Demo
cratic votes, will be the defeat of Repub
licanism in Texas , and will put the State
in the hands of the very men who, daring
the entire period of the Rebellion, exert
ed every nerve to destroy the Union and
who have uniformly opposed the Rsicon;
struction laws with a persistency worthy
of a better cause.

Motley. We have borne with patience
the demolition of our pet idols. Poca

even passed by with but a feeble groan
the 'transformation, into a shower of
meteors, of the rain of lire and brim

ant persons to assert that Joan of Arc
was coarse and the Queen er Soots hide
ous; but all our feelings of the better sort,
including our *faith in the Scriptures,
revolt against the latest attempt, which
is to prove that Herod was a kind and
benevolent old gentleman, whose chief
failing was his excessive partiality for

Justification, we most decidedly pro.

against this sort of rivalry that we should
most certainly protest were we residents

GMCILEMEN who are wont to indulge
in the pleasures of smoking, and who I
have been for some time harboring the I
hope that in but a little while the time
would come when Cabanas and Partagas
may be procured at prices which would
not require the fortune of a Packer for
every purchaser, may now consider that
hope as effectually blasted for some time
to come, Such a row seems to have been
raised in Europe on the subject of Cuba
that for the present it looks as if we were
not to have her. It may be that the

Yankee tilth would have upon it.
MANY of the heroes of ;the late war
have beaten their swords into steel•pens
or pruning-hooks, and bid fair to win
new renown with .their transformed
weapons. We now learn something of
the Prince Polignac, who fought very
bravely as a volunteer in the rebel armies,
and was several times promoted until be
reached the rank of Major General.
Since the close of the war this soldier has
been living in Paris as a private citizen,
devoting his time to various scientilis
investigations. Recently he read an able
paper before the Scientific Society of
London upon the various systems of in
struction in the higher mathematics, and
now he is engaged in Studying "the ori
gin and peculiarities of the cotton worm."
Fits.Ncu feitilletonist recently said
"that two women are necessary to make
the life of a man complete, the woman
he loves and the woman that loves
him." This sentence shows about as
well as anything could the great fault in
most modern French literature of the
romance school. It appears to be almost
impOssible for a French novelist to con
ceive of both of those necessities of a
complete life being bound in one volume.
Such being the case, it has become nec
essary for them to treat lightly thoge In
terests and principles of matrimony and
morality, which, until the most advan

THE Great Eastern, flaying at length
found her mission, has become one of
he most useful vessels afloat. Probably
no other one ship is large enough to car
ry the necessary amount of telegraph
ic cable to connect two continents,
and, as we saw in the first attempt
to connect England and New Found land
in this way, two vessels do not work to
gether satisfactorily. Indeed. we may
almost believe that science would not be
able to record one of her greatest
achievements, if the leviathan ship had
not been built. The Great Eastern is
now taking on board the 1,800 miles of
cable which is destined to lie across the
bottom of the Arabian sea, connecting
the ports of Aden and Bombay. When
the work is done, this monster Puck of
the ocean has but a few more links to put
down before the world will have its gir

To - the Freeholders of the. Com.
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
In thirteen days it will be your pri
vilege, in common with your fellow
citizens, to elect a Governor for this great
Commonwealth, and whatever may be
your preference you have but two persona
to select from \ , the Hon. John W. Geary
and the Hon. Asa Packer, representing
respectively the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. Personally there can be
no possible objection to either of these
gentlemen, and hence it is for you to de
cide whether you will entrust the govern,
went of the State to the_Republican
or
the Democratic party, and' as you decide
this question you will cast your votes for
one of these gentlemen. Under these
circumstances it become our duty to ex
amine the record of each during the time
they I
have had control of the State Gov
ernment. shall not enter into an in
vestigation of their actions in relation to
the many great national questions that
have agitated the public mind for the last
twenty-five years, but the more domestic
one. How have they managed our own
household ?
On the 30th of November, 1842, the
debt of the Commonwealth had reached
the sum of $87,937,788,24, and from this
time until January, 1861, the Democratic
party had almost uninterrupted control of
the State government—twice only were
they defeated in the election for Govern
or, and during the whole period they had
a majority in one or the other branches of
the State government, and no measure
could pass that did not at least meet their
approval. They levied taxes on personal
property, permitting - nothing to escape
from the toilet to the,staVe. They placed
-taxes on onr corporations, discriminating
against those built by our own citizens
and .for the pmae of developing, our
vast mineral, .and agricultural resourcea,
and tipon you, .Ihe freeholders of this
Commonivealth, th ey levied taxes on your
households wholly unnecessary, and only
to be squandered , among their parasites.
The dtigleltem of taxes on your real
tote es.
duthig.this period amounted to the
enort49ol —SUM talsacpjles SigiUoSl
of dollars, not one dollar of which would
have been needed had they properly hus- ;
banded their other resources. What did
they do with this?—build railroads and
canals—no, they were already completed;
on the contrary, they permitted our State
works to go to destruction, so much so 1
that when put up for sale, they were ills•
posed of at one-third their original cost,
and were by no means cheap at that. Did
they pay off the indebtedness of the State?
'not a dollar, for on the first of January,
1861, when the Republican party came
in power they found the debt of the State
$37,969,847,50. Thirty-two thousand
dollars in excess of what it was eighteen
years, before. The truth is these vast!
sums '
were squandered for the purpose of
retaining power, and not until after an
indignant constituency had hurled them
from power did we ever hear of a Demo
crat advocating an economical rState ad
ministration—but let us pass to the other
side.
The Republican party came fully into
power in January, 1861, with a State
debt hanging over us of $37,969,847.5 0 ,
and ere three months had elapsed they
were compelled to borrow $3,000,000 for
the purpose of arming and equipping our
quota to aid in crushing the elaveholders'
rebellion.
Since the inauguration of Governor!
Curtin nine years have nearly expired,
and these have been nine years of Re
publicar rule—true at times the, Demo
cratic party have had control of one or
more branches of the State government,
but have never held sufficient power to
enable them to dictate the policy of the
State. What has been the result? The
State debt on the 30th of November,
1868, less funds in bank to pay overdue
loans not then presented, was $32,795,
, 293.25.
The State Treasurer is now proposing
topsy off one,million ($1,000,96 1 ) dollars
of the debt due July 1, 1870, which will
be done as soon as. presented, and for all
practical purposes can be considered paid,
which leaves us with a debt of $31,795,-
293.29, or $6,174.554.2 1 less than when
the Republican party came into power.

Notwithstanding this enormous expen
diture, and the steady reduction of your
indebtedness, the Republican party, in
ISGG, repealed the StaW tax on real estate,
leaving it to pay the ordinary expenses
of county and - local government. This
relief, amounting in the past tour years
to seven million one hundred and forty
seven thousand one hundred and three
dollars anti ninety-two cents ($7,147,-

I say the Republican party did this, for
it is well known that the Democracy on
the introduction of the bill by Mr. Quay,
Chairman of the Cof Was an
Means of the House, nowommittee
Secreta y ry of
L ,the Republican State Committee, used
every means within their power to defeat
its passage, one and all predicting that the

without it, but on its final passage had
nut the courage to record themselves
against it. The magnitude of this relief

AT THE breaking out of the rebellion,
when the three-months' volunteers were
raised, Asa Packer gave $5O towards their
equipment. This generous donation from
the possessor of twenty millions it seems
is'expectOd to offset four years' service
upon the battle-field, which was John W.
Geary's contribution to his country in her
hour of need.
E. JAMES CALDER, D. D.l of Har
risburg, PenniTimis, has been eaected
heat of %Wale College, Mich.
The Great Tom-Dodger.
Says the Harrisburg Telegraph:
The Patriot makes a bungling attempt
to clear Parker of the tax fraud. It c
be done. The Patriot's effort is a miser
able failure. No one has denied that he
paid his taxes in Carbon county, after
suit was brought for their recovery.. The „,
fraud charged is this: That he made a .
sham change of residence from Carbon
county to Philadelphia; that when, in
1867.8, he was assessed in the latter
place, be returned only his salary $2,800,
money at interest $13,300, and two gold
watches, the whole paying less than
forty dollars. These are the points to
which the Patriot should direct its atten
tion. The issue can't be changed. The
charge is direct, and must be m'et in a di
rect manner, or not at all. The odium
cannot be removed from Mr. Packer by
the Patriot's simple averment of a fact
which has never been disputed.'
We have no desire to "push things,"
like that illiberal enemy of Democracy,
S. Grant, but we would be under last
ing obligations to the Patriot, or any
other equally trustworthy organ of the
Democracy, to enlighten the voters of
the State on these knotty points: Where
does Asa Packer live? Does he pay any
taxes? If so, where? How much? To
whom? When? Also, does' ase Packer
live anywhere?
The Philadelphia Post says: By refer
ence to the list of voters at the last elec
tion it has been ascertained that the can
didate of the Democracy for Gnberna-
torial honors, Judge Packer, voted at the
last election in this city at tie place of
holding the election for the fourth divis
ion of the Sixth ward. His vote was
challenged, when Jeremiah I McKibben,
proprietor of the Merchants Hotel,
vouched for him, givintasl his place of
residence the hotel just mentioned."
The New York Tribune says: Pendle
ton and Packer—the two resebtatives
of the Democratic integrity One claims
to be the inventor, as he is t e most ener
getic expounder, of the sc,heme for de
frauding those who put implicit faith in
the promises of the Government at the be
ginning of the war; the other does not-
deny the charge of having, by a paltry
trick, cheated his town, county, and
State'out of the just amount of taxes up
on his enormous wealth. Pendleton
asserts his honesty by urging the pay
ment of a solid, hold money debt in a
depreciated currency; Packer proves
his by returning an income of less than one
thousand dollars upon a property, of
twenty millions. And these are the
idols of rectitude before whom the Dem
ocrats of Ohio and Pennsylvania bow
down.
