X2?The Democrat.', hereabouts, who have been chuckling over their imagined proapett of President Grant's following in the traitor ous footsteps of A. J., consigned by the voice of the icople to a disgraceful retirement, have given over crowing since the inaugural address and the Cabinet appointments have been made public. They no longer sec treachery in the man, any more than they did when he so bad ly threshed their friends in rebellion, and, in the bitterness of their disappointment, are more disposed to curse now than to chuckle. Democrats 6ec no very encouraging Eign of apostacy, in the President's elctermination to "advise Congress but not war upon it." They are not particularly carried away with the President's determination to execute the laws, nor with his idea, that there is "no mcth od to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so elective as their stringent execution." Nor are they very strongly in love with his ideas of repudiation. They see in them noth ing very promising for their "greenback" doc trine, and can now sec in Grant nothing but the line which marks the prompt and jus course pursued by honest men and governments in the payment of their honest debts. There is nothing in the inaugural which plea ses the Democracy hereabouts, but if there is one thing in it which thev hate with a more perfect bitterness than any other, it is that ior tion which refers to the negro and to negro suf frage the "d d nigger," aa Democrats love to call the American citizen of African descent. With the opinions therein expressed passes away the last hope for apostacy, and Democra cy are now more ready to condemn, than they were, a week ago, to praise the author of the inaugural. We have no sympathy with the Democracy in their bereavement, but we fuel liko doing them a kindness nevertheless. If they hut repent of their evil ways and resolve, for the future to do only good, we can assure them that though they will never have opportunity to huzza over the apostacy of President Grant they may yet learn to rejoice, with us, that so great and good a man has been .selected to re deem the position of President, from the dis grace heaped upon it by that arch traitor An drew Johnson.

The annexed paragraph from the New York Tribune affords a striking illustra tion of the magnitude of what are styled the whiskey-frauds on the revenue, tiaya that journal, apropos to the President 3 resolution to stop all that cheating : In the year ISGG, when the tax upon distilled spirits was 2 per gallon, and the amount collected was twenty nine icil- ions of dollars, one of the largest of our commission merchant, who had at tho time thousands of barrels of whisky in his storehouse said that if the Govern ment would give him the right to collect the tax, he would engage to pay the whole interest upon the public debt. Now this lutcrest for that year was one hundred and thirty-three millions, and the gentle man referred to was at once thoroughly acquainted with the trade, and eminently capable of estimating its amount ana tho amount of tax honestly due upon it. Th presumption in favor of his opinion is clear from the fact that only sixty-seven millions of gallons should have paid the interest, which would have left him at least eighty millions of dollars to pay tho exreose of collection and give his profit. If President Grant puts nis resolution- into full force, at the present rate of duty he will squeeze half the interest on our debt out of the manufacturers and ueaU ers in intoxication liquors. A Thousand Dollars Presented la a Pas tor. The people of Erie know horr to ap preciate the services of a faithful preach er, and they also know how to reward him for his devotion to their spiritual inter ests. The Erie Dispatch has the follow ing: On Sunday last, Dr. Geo. F. Caii, Paster of the Park Presbyterian Church, who had received a very flattering cfTer from a congregation in Philadelphia, in formed his charge that he had concluded not to acc.pt it, preferring to strengthen old tics rather than to form new ones The decision was heard with a good deal of satisfaction, and last evening, Dr. Cain received a sort of surprise call from about a hundred of his congregation, who had assembled to testify their approbation of his self-den'ing decision, and to enjoy an evening chat with him. During the course of the evening, Sumes C Marshall, Esq., called Dr. Cain aside, and m the name of the congration assembled, pre sented him with a thousand do!lrs. as a token of their appreciation of him as a minister and as a gentleman. It is a gcn. erous gift, well bestowed, for a nore high ly or more properly esteemed geut'eman than Dr. Cain docs act walk tbc streets of Erie.

A great many people are about to pack up and go to Florida, so glowing are tho accounts of the remarkable productive ness of that State. A writer in Fernr.n dina says, "it a northern man could liv. in Florida, year iu and year out, he could make it pay to go into sweet potato and early vegetable business ; but a congest ed liver, or chills and fever, cr both, will commonly be the penalty of a protracted residence in Florida. The eld residents have the sallow, bad look, which the cli mate in summer and the bad water areso certain to produce. A man v.ho can spend every summer at the north, may get alongnicely ; but that is not the way to larm it.
