COUNTY COMMISSIONER, JOSEPH M. NESBIT, of Chillisquaque. THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING. The Democracy had their first ratification meeting nt the Court House, in this placo, on Monday evening last. As it was the first day of court, they felt that they could rely upon a fair attendance. The room was about two-thirds full, one-third, nt least, being Republicans. The orators selected to enlighten the befogged Democracy, were Mr. Deise, of Lock Haven, and our versatile friend, Charley Shriner, Andy Johnson's col lector of this district. Mr. Deise is what is sometimes called "a bora Democrat," and could be nothing else if he tried. He im agines that his deBtiny is stump oratory, and that he ia bound to advocate the principles of any platform the party may choose to adopt, regardless of all or any consequences that may ensue. He believes, if not in the divine right, at least in tho prescriptive right of his party to hold all the offices and make the most out of them. To him it is of littlo importance who tho party may select for President, whether it be Soymoun Pendleton, Jeff. Davis or Gen. Lee, even Salmon P. Chase, the great abolitionist, would not be objectionable. Mr. Shriner is a more versatile genius, and is firmly im pressed with the belief that the chief pur pose of politics is office, and worships only at the ehrlne in whose temple are images of gold. Such were tho orators, whose mission was, if not to explain, to befog thoee doubting Democrats, who could not exactly see why Pendleton and Haucock Bhould be set aside for Seymour and Blair, at the spe cial instance and request of August Bel mont, tue foreign Jew banker and financial leader of the New York money Democrats, and agent for the Rothschilds, of Europe. We entered the Court nouse when Mr Deiso was already in full blast. With good lungs and no lack of assurance, he let off one of those speeches peculiar to his class without much regard to logic, or consisten cy in the relation of facts. And if he some' times indulged in quotations, not the most select, bucIi as"root hog or die," and other el a gant phrases, it must be remembered that he was the best judge of what suited the taste and capacity of his fellow Democrats. As a specimen of his feeling toward Gen. Grant for whipping his Democratic Southern brethren, he commenced by declaring that, personally, he had nothing to say against Grant, who could say nothing for himself, and when some one exclaimed that "Grant was educated at West Point," Mr. D. re plied, "yes, and it took him ten years to make a tanner of himself." To say nothing of the bad tasto of Mr. D. it was certainly worse policy to attempt to cast ridicule up. on General Grant because he chose to follow the humble occupation of a tanner. It was bad enough for Southern members to de clare on the floor of Congress, that "laborers were only intended as the mud sills of socio ty," but we hardly supposed that our North ern sympathizers with the rebellion would show their approval of such insulting and disgraceful doctrines in the presence of our mechanics and laborers. In the eyes of Wade Hampton, Forrest, Buckncr and other rebel Generals, who represented the chivalry in the New York Democratic Convention, Gen. Grant is nothing but a poor mechanic, who had tbe impudence to head the "boys in blue," and whip the chivalry into obedi ence. Buckner, who surrendered to Grant at Fort Donelson, no doubt felt indignant, and why should not his friends in the North sympathize with him. Among the numerous false assertions he made, he slightly increas ed tbe public debt, ten bundled millions of dollars ; declared that Jefferson was op posed to the "nigger," ct-c. Among other inconsistencies, he stated that every Democratic administrations had been controlled by the will of the people, and yet he abused Congress, who represent the people, because they refused to surren dcr their power and priviledges iuto the lunds of the President, tbe one-man power. Such are the inconsistencies of tho mulish leaders of modern Democracy, who are will ing to surrender, even tbeir liberties to pro cure office. When Mr. Shriner took the stand, he evi dently felt the awkwnrdneis of his position, and attempted to excuse himself by telling a story related by Wade Hampton, the rebel General, in the New York Convention. The gist of the story was, to the effect that a "nigger" was brought before a military tri bunal, ami when the commander asked liin what brought him there, Sambo said, "the lrtier fotched me," and the reason why Charley was at a Seymour meeting, was, that "tbe Radicals fotched him." If Charley had been candid, he could have explained in four words the wholo difficulty. "The collectorship fotched him." But Charley knows that he has taken a voyage in a sink "g hip, and therefore disclaims belonging to the Seymour Democracy. Tlie Secretary of State has issued a pro Hamatlon announcing the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment as a part of the 'oM:oi.irj oi the Vailed States. TACTS AND FldCBES. Revenue Commissioner Welts hss publish ed a summary of out national finances which is ad extinguisher to the Copperhead false hoods of Got. Seymour, and his servile Imi tator. The following summary shows the extent of the various amendments made by Congress to the internal revenue laws that hare reduced taxation : Ryaotof Ju1yl3,186, t0,on0,00 lly set of Miuroh 2, 1807, 40,000,000 By act of February 3, 108, (exemption of raw Cotton,) By set of March 31, 188, M,7,000 43.500,000 Total, This is tetter than platform $107,289,000 resolutions It will be or promises from canoiuaie. seen that $67,209,000 of tuie reduction has been made by the present congress, i u total reduction of taxes since the war is a very gratifying aggregate. Yet under all these, the revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1868, still reached 1406,300,000, via: rvrtom. (Midi H6S.W0.000 Internal Revenue (ourreney) Miscellaneous (currney) I'ublio Lands and direct tax (ourrenoj) lVH.eoo.oos 47.000.000 a.soo.ooo Total, 4O,S0O.0C9 If the amendatory tax law in reference to spirits and tobacco be properly enforced, the revenues for the current year will largely exceed the above amount. As regards the aggregate expenditures for the fiscal year, Mr. Wells says : The expenditure of tbe Government on aeoount of interest on the public cteirt lor mo nseni year euums; June SO, 1S68, wasflsl.oM.SM 13. The aggreget expenditure! of the several departments of the Gov eminent for the tame period were $22,I4,874 M, making a total expenditure (or tho fiscal year end- i 1 . on ,,1,1,! r C17I S Ml 99 .ml Inavinff an estimated surplus of receipts over expenditure of f34.749.777. The present condition of the funded and interest-bearing debt of tho United States, ex clusive of the bonds issued to the Tactile Katiroad Companies (the interest on which is a charge upon the roads,) necessitates a present annual expendi ture on account of the Interest of about 12tV00O,- 000. The excess of expenditure on account of inter est over this amount during the last fiscal year was due mainly to payments on aeoount of accumulated internst on the "aomnound-iuleroet notes." and will not again appear In the future disbursement of the Treasury on account ot interest. These figures will bo apt to surpriso many persons who have been led by partiran speeches and journals to believe that Con gress waa SQuanderini! all the revenues and running into debt besides. Congress has also passed a funding bill, the effect of which would be to reduce thi interest manv millions by putting the debt t tlio low rntoa nf four and four and a half per cent, interest ; President Johnson, infill enced by the Democrats who opposed the act vehemently, pocketed the bill to prevent it becoming a law. As to the outlay upon the army and navy, Mr. Wells goes into the figures. Here is the statement of the expen ditures of the Navy Department from 1SC0 to the present time : 1R82 1863 1864 . 1K65 18rt6 1807 $42,674,569 63.211.105 B5,733,292 122.507,776 43,324,118 31,034,004 25.775,502 17,300,000 1883 1809, appropriated It will bo seen that tho expenditures reached their height in the year 18G5 and bavo rapidly declined since, so that the amount appropriated for 1SC9 is. only $17, 300,000. Concerning the expenditures of the War Department, the report says: The total disbursements made under tbe ilirootion of. or through the Wnr Department, for the fiscnl voar ending Juno 30, 1868, were $123,248,048 62. Of this amount there were paid : For Bounties $.1fl,000,000 For Reimbursing State War Claims 10,330,188 For Engineer Bureau (mainly river and harbor iuiprovcnicnta.1 For Payments for property lost or de stroyed in the military service of tho United Suites, Aot of March 3, 1849, and supplements thereto estimated, For subsistence of Indians, estimated, For Freedman's Bureau, For Expenses, Reconstruction, For National Cemeteries, For Commutation of Rations of Prisoners of War, 6,132,620 6,111,300 1.000,000 3,215.000 1.799,270 792,800 151000 Total, $rtG,533,238 This amount, deduotcd from the aggregate expen ditures above given, indicate the rogular and legiti mate army expenditures for the tiscal year ondiug Juno 30, 1888,lo bavo been $58,713,410, of which do inconsiderable part is justly ohargeable to the expenses attendant upon tbe existence of Indian hostilities upon the plains in the summer and full of li-67, which largely and execptionably augmouted ihe cost of transportation and subsistence Tho military appropriations for the current fiscal year are $33,081,013, As much noise has been made about the huge sums spent by the War Department since the close of the war, on this point Mr. Wells says : The aggregate expenditures made through or un der the direction of the War Department from April 1, 1865, to Juno 30, 1887, inclusive, were $917, 117,013 42. Of this aggrcgiite, the disbursement for nine months, or from April 1, 1885, to December 31, of the same year, as stated by quarters, were as follows : From April 1 to June 30, 1865, From June 30 to Sept 30, li-65, From Sept. 30 to Deo. 31, 186, $414,196,277 38 185,369.237 32 88,122541 65 Total, $647,688,050 33 It thus appoars that of tbe above total expendi tures of the War Department, $617,688,000, or 70 per ecnt. of the whole, weredirectly contingent upon the termination of thewar and the disbanding of the army, and were disbursed within the nine months immodialoly succeeding the surrender of Lea in Arril, 1866. Tbe balance of expenditure charged to the War Department nn the books nf the Treasury, vix : $269,428,987 10, covers a period of thirty months, or trout January 1, 1668, to June 30, 1HW, and repre sents tbe disbursement farther contingent upon the termination of the war, such as arrears of pay and transportation of troops ; the regular expenses of the military establishment ; tho expense of the Indian War in the summer and fall of 1867 ; the payment of bounties ($49,382,859 from July I, 1866, to Juno 30, 1668 ;) the payments for property lost or destroy ed in the militury servioe of the United States ($11, 000,000;) the reimbursement of State claims $10, 330,000 in 1807-8 ;) river and harbor improvements, and the expenses of fortifications ; subsistence of In dians; Freed men's Bureau; expenses of Recon struction, to , Ac. Of the whole amount expended on the Freedmen's Bureau and Reconstruction, the former reaches only $9,617,000, and the lat ter $2,344,700, and tbe work done for this has been of incalculable benefit to the South ami to the country. Tho total appropria tions made by couuting for the current fiscal year are eighty millions less than the aggro gate spent for that ending June 30, 1868. This exhibit shows that we have reduced the taxes $167,000,000, paid off all the war expenses, reconstructed the South, reduced our debt, brought the army down to a peace standard, and are in sound financial condi tion, with our expenses falling every year. Economy baa been steadily pursued by Con gress, and there is no foundation whatever for complaint in regard to tbe management of our finances. Taxpayers may look to the future for still further relief ia the way of reduced taxes, reduced debt, reduced army and civil officers and a prosperous nation. Dun Voorhees has been making a great fu.s about taxation, and he made so much fuss about it that the matter waa looked into, and it waa found that Dan'i tax amounted to eighty seven and a half cents in five year. Dsn is not tbe only oae. Witness Febs. We understand the fees of witnesses, attending Court in this county, have been raised by speolal Legislative on actmenti to two dollars per day. Our pre- sent member ha the credit of increasing this burden on poor suitors, for the benefit of the office holders. The fees of Justices of tbe Peace, and office holder generally, have been greatly Increased of late years. The mombers of the Legislature thomselvrs, modestly raised their own fees from about 350 to $1,000 per session, or about Hirer) fold. Can our Dcmocratio ReprtMntatlvaa, for the last six or eight years, reconcile llirea things, with their loud profession of roono my, and their love for the (War peopln, whom they so successfully humbug and cajole, in order to fleece them. Gkn. Ui.aih, in his speech at 1.eavonwtith, on the 13th ult., made soma tWItuail.ma that will be neither complimentary or a hick. able to the Democracy. He had tho limim! ty to declare, that "he had nothing to say against Gen. Grant, prraoitnllv, and that his military services would ever ho routmit bered with pride." What will the roppni' head journals, who have not brains iiottu,lt to discriminate between argument and abnso of Gen. Grant, say to such a tliH-lara tion from their own candidate, anil ho a soldier too. But the most unkind cut was his declaration, that "tho lUdlt'nl parly had made coppcrhcadiam iciretalle.' Surely if theKadicals have really at-conipllah cd so great a changr, they are entitled to the lasting gratittido of respectable citizens of alt parties. Hon. Joskhi Wilson, the affable and in tolligcnt Commissioner of the Land Office, at Washington, has organized, under an Act of Congress, a corps for the exploration of the mineral resources of some of our new Territories. Mr. Wilson's superior abilities, and long experience in the Land Office, has made his services almost indispensable to the Government. A White Man's Government. Those who have been vociferating for a white man's government, for the past few years, and have quaked with fear at the idea of negro supremacy, will be interested in the following notice from the Georgia Telegraph, a rebel Democratic paper, of the 17th inst : "Hundreds of the colored voters were in tbe Soymour and Blair procession, in Macon, last Wednesday night, and thousands more cheered it on with right good will. Tbe talk about "conflict of races" is all stuff. The Democrats in this canvass are going to il lustrate not a conflict, but a co operation of rate. We mean that somewhere betweeu four-fifths and nine tenths of the Georgia negroes shall vote with us, and by our side, in this election; and we mean iu this to do not the slightest violence to bis inclination. Ho suall vote as be chooses, and ho shall vote for his own best interests and happi ness. We notify all carpet-baggers and ad venturers at home and abroad, that we in tend to try conclusions with them nn this point, and help themselves if they can. The vote of Georgia this fall shall be nigher a unit than it ever was before. The Uadicals shall get enough of "manhood sulTrage" in Georgia to satisfy thorn for four years at least. XII i: IIAI.TI.MOKE II.OOD. Sceiiea nnd ItM-idcnla Tlie Ioaaj of .tie. We glean from the Baltimore papers of Monday the following additional particulars of the great flood : "On Baltimore street, at the intersection of that thoroughfare with Harrison street and Markat Space (says the American) is perhaps one of the most impressive exhibi tions of the force and volume of tho flood. The battered, scarred and mud stained walls on cither side of Harrison street near this point shows the depth of the water to have been not less than eight to ten feet deep. This vast volume of water, running at a rate equal in velocity to the rapids of Niagara, and laden with heavy timbers and wrecks of alt kiuds, came with full force against the front of the Maryland Institute, where it divided and swept down either side of Market Space, and through the arched openings leading to tbe market house. The resistance offered by the building and the vast accumulation of ilebrii in front of it soon caused the water to wash out the street and footways, and hundreds of cart loads of earth, were swept out, to a depth of ten or twelve feet, including half the width of Baltimore street, laying bare tbe massive foundations of the Institute, on either corner, for a considerable space. "But for tho peculiarity of the foundation of the Maryland Institute, the building must inevitably bavo been destroyed. The walls, however, resting upon triple rows ot spiles, driven down into the marshy soil, firmlv supported the heavy stone foundation walls ana Ucficcl the power of tho flood. Thus the building stands .secure, thnuch wo are eorry to observe this morning that the pier supporting tho northeast corner of the build ing has settled about two inches, and that Ihe first arch on the east side is damaged. TUB WRECKED rASSENORR CAR. "Immediately on the north crossing of Harrison street was to be eeen all that was left of the wreck of the city passenger rail road car, tho perilous drifting of which from tie track on Gay street an account has been given in these columns. The lower portion of tho body of the car was found bottom up. The upper portion had entirely disappeared, its appearance indica ting more strongly than language could de pict in what a fearful peril the passengers of this ill fated Btreet car must have been placed. PAVEMENTS TOBX W. "The footways and portions of the street along tho entire length of Harrison street, aa also on Frederick street, portiona of Fay ctte street and Gay street, have been swept out, in some places down to the foundations of the buildings, and much time and labor must be required to repair the damage. The eutire line of Harrison street is filled with a confused mass of wrecked and ruin ed property, covered with mud and filth, whilst from every doorway tbe inhabitants are shovelling out masses of mud, enough to fill good sized scows. ntiEs or distress. "Presently cries of distress were heard from the market house, and it was soon as certained that a number of persons had been caught there by the storm, and were in peril of being drowned by the rising flood. With a promptness and tnougbttulness that is highly creditable to the ceotleman. Mr. Ste vena procured a piece of timber, and with the assistance of bis friends knocked out some planks on tbe side of the ticket office in tbe main entrance to tbe ball, which eoa bled tbem to communicate with the people who were nooa-Douna in tue market ueueatu. The water was uow some eight or ten feet deep, and the only refuge of these unfortu natea was by climbing upon and clinging to tbe stalls. Tbe first one thus rescoed was a little girl about twelve years of age, who w as cijngmgto one ol the doors of the market house.

WASmuGTOw, August 4. The Internal Revenue Commissionership has finally gone begging for some person to fill it, having been positively refused by Governor Cox, of Ohio. Tne President tendered it to several parties to-day, among them Governor Cox of Maryland, tbe new Commissioner of Pen sions. As far as known it has not been ac cepted. Attorney-general Evarts, who still absent, is said to have prepared an opinion, to the effect that when an oflicia resigns and such resignation is accepted by the President, thero is a vacancy. If Mr. Evarts gives such an opinion it decides Mr, Rollins' caso at once, and tho latter has already signified his willingness to abide by the decision of tbe Attorney General. The announcement made some time ago that the claims of the United States against the pro-Rebel bankers of Paris, Erlanger & Co., had been decided adversely iu the courts there, was a mistake. The case has only been appealed to a higher court, nnd the State Department has authorized Minister Dix to engage some of the ablest French lawyers to represent our government. Some eight or ten millions of dollars are invol ved. The health of Thaddeus Stevens contin ues to grow worse, and his strength is fast failing.

J.'s follow ers crumbs of consolation, Mr. Evarts, the newly appointed Attorney General decides that Mr. Rollins is entitled to retain the oflice until his successor is duly qualified. Under the new law providing fur supervisors of revenue districts, with powers of appoint ment, Andy aims at universal decapitulion. Mr. Rollins has given the President to under stand that lie is willing to turn over the oflice to any one who in his opinion will be acceptable to the majority of the Seuate. In tlio meautimo Commissioner Rollius will stick. The New Postovfice Law. Tho post- office law passed by Congress last week in troduces some new and important changes in the mode of conducting tbe business of the department. It provides for the return nf all letters on which the name of the sen der is endorsed, if not called for within thirty duys; reduces tbe fees on money or ders; doubles the compensation of postmas ters for the payment of money orders ; al lows weekly newspapers sent to regulur sub scribers in the county were published to be delivered free of postage from the post office nearest the place ot publication ; authorizes tbe issue ot duplicate money orders for such as have been lost; makes it felony to coun terfeit money orders. The Slavic Trade. The African slave trade still exhibits signs of vitality. Eigh teen slave vessel were captured by the British squadron on the East coast of Africa during 1807. In this service one vessel, tho High flyer.secmsto have particularly distinguished herself, having made nn less than teu of the captures. The number of slaves on board ot these vessels was estimated at oo'j, but in some cases they were got ashore before the capture took place. Most of the vessels sailed under Arabian colors. The total eclips of the sun, nn August 13 1908, will be of greater duration than any eclipse for the next two centuries. While the sun is almost at the greatest distanre from the earth, the moon is nearest the earth, and tho moon's shadow will pass near the earth's equator all circumstances which increase the eclipse either in duration or in extent on the earth's surface. The total eclipse will commence a little past sunrise at Aden, (Red Sua,) passes during the fore noon though India, and ends in tbe even ing in New-Guinea. The longst duration of tbe total eclipse will be six minutes and fifty seconds a duration greater than it bus been for more than a thousand years back. Most of the Europcau governments have resolved to send scientific expeditions to India, &c, fur the observation oi this rare phenomenon. The English expedition left England some time ago ; the French expe dition will be sent to Cochin China and Malacca, and will be aided by several ves sels of the French navy ; the Austrian ex pedition will go to Aden. Tbe Parliament of the North German Union voted $18000 for an expedition, and even the almost bank rupt Papal government will send an expe dition to India, with the renowned Father Seccbi. Whether the United States will be represented is not known. Sai Buaca or Gaares on Standard ia another column.
