For months pnst, falsehoods with regard to the current expenses of the Federal Gov ernment have been tho principal stock in trade with Democratic journals and speak- era. The assertions of Horatio Seymour in j Lis Bridgeport Bpccch that, in the Dscal year then current but since closed, it was costing 'moro than $150,000,000 per annum to maintain an army to keep the people of the South iu subjection" that "More than $800,000,000 a year have been wasted in order to uphold this policy of Reconstruc tion" that now, "$400,000,000 are raised, and out of it the public creditor gets only $100,000,000" arc fair specimens of the atrocious lies that have been put forth as facts in Copperhead harangues and edito rials for the last ten months. The Hon. Vm. B. Allison, of Iowa, soli cited of tho Hon. David A. Wells, Special Commissioner of Revenue, an exhibit of the actual income and expenditure of the Fede ral Government for the fiscal year, which closed about a month ago. Gov. Seymour guessed the Income for the current fiscal year at $400,000,000; and it was actually $400,300,000 (very nearly) ; so that it is proved that he can make very good guesses when no political capital is to accrue from making bad oces. Xow look at the other side of the account : lie asserts that the cost of maintaining n army to subjugate the South for the fiscal year 1807-'8 was "moro than $150,000,000;" and that "more than $300,000,000 a year have been wasted in order to uphold this policy of Reconstruction." Mr. Wells's re port shows that tho entire cost of maintain ing our army, supporting the Frccclnien's Bureau, and defraying the expenses of Re construction at tho South, amounted in the aggregate at $02,727, G80 ; though this in cludes the outgoes of a wasteful Indian War on the Plains, and $1,000,000 appropriated to feeding Indians whom wo had censed to fight. Very much of the $5,000,000 spent by the Freed men's Bureau went to feed the helpless widows and orphans of White Re bels left destitute by the collapse of the Confederacy ; nearly all the residue was paid for registering voters and holding elec tions iu States where tho Freedmeu's Bu reau is now being closed out, while Military rule is already abolished. Gov. Seymour asserted that of the $100, 000,000 of revenue tho public creditor gets but $100,000,000. Mr. Wells's report sbowg thut no less thuu $141,035,551 w;ero paid in that year for interest on the Public Debt much of it being tho back interest on the Compound Iutcrest Notes, which were paid off in thut year with the three years' compound interest duo on them so thut the interest on the National Debt henceforth is but $120,000,000 per annum. After paying this current interest, there wero $31,719,747 left wherewith to reduce the priucipul of the Debt. Thus the year's revenue yicldud for the payment of interest and principal of the Debt no less than $170, 033,208, being $70,385,208 more than Sey mour asserted. Gov. Seymour asserted that "more than $300,000,000 a year have been wasted iu order to uphold this policy of Reconstruc tion." Mr. Wells's report shows that the payments from tho Treasury for every pur pose except payment of principal or interest of the National Debt were less thun Two Hundred and Thirty Millions (precisely, $220,014,074) ; aud that of this amount, be side many millious for Pensions, there were paid For Bounties to our Volunteers, f."Mi0.(MiO For reimbursing War Claims, )U,.'i;;o,lfj8 Payments fur property lost in the Mili tary Service of the United State, 5, 11 1,300 These three items together $53,441,488 are payment of Public Debt as much us though they had bought up and canceled so many Five Twenties. They are so much of the cost of putting down the Rebellion paid off and extinguished, once for all; so that really the amount of our Nutional Dtbt was reduced during the fiscal year jubt closed, including the payment ol back interest on the Compound Interest Notes, by little less than One Huudred Millions of Dollurs. And, instead of the eutiro current expense of the Federal Government, except for the pay ment of priucipul and interest of the Public Debt, being "more thun $300,000,000," it was considerably less than $200,000,000.

The criminal record of the Court of last week show the rapid growth and incrense of crime in thii county. It ii a fearful record and docs not speak well for tho morale of the community. How much of it ii owing to tho loose and alrarmt recklcse manner in which proceedings against offenders are con ducted, Is a question not only for the mo ralist, but for the public to decide. The administration of justice is such that well known offenders walk the streets with im punity. Repeated arrests, always ending in the discharge of the offenders, for want of evidence, has only served to embolden t'nem in their career of crime, and induce them to look upon the law as a not whoso meshes are strong enough to hold only the weak and tho ignorant, tho poor and tho friend less. It is proper to gay, tho fault is not with the bench. Judge Jordan has more than once remonstrated with, and admon ished those whoso duty it was to conduct the prosecutions with effect. The lime was when few of the bills sent before the Grand Jury were ignored. Xow, it is nothing un common to have n half dozen ignored in a batch, many of them sent up to that body are without a single witness to sustain them, and are, of course, only important, so far as tho fees of officers arc concerned, which, iu such cases, nro mostly saddled upon tho county. These aro matters in which tax payers as well as moralists nro interested. Tue Piinurs' Grant & Colfax.

Those are the recognized nurseries of Re publicanism, cs the ruin shop is of Demo cracy. Mr. Seymour has written a letter accept ing the nomination for the Presidency. In it he attacks the Republicans- as bitterly as he did throughout the war, and shows as warm a side for tho rebels as he did for the New York rioters who were burning asylums and hanging innocent citizens. .

If there is a Democrat here, abouts who is the fortunate, or unfortunate possessor of any U. S. bonds, find he is cer tain that Seymour will win, he had better uisposo of them at once. They will go below par like a shot, if what he believes te be a certainty takes place. In an admirable impromptu speech by Hon. Schuyler Colfax, buhsctiuent to his, great reception speech at South Bend, to thousands of his constituents who met to welcome him home, he uttered these words, which ought to be writteu on the banners of the campaign: "Loyalty siiai.i. oovkks what Loyalty has i'keskkvkd." The whole sentence reads thus : 'In all their hours of disaster and gloom, when meu's hearts fainted by tho way, there was one party, every man of which stood around our banner, und never despuired of the American Jtcpublic ; and there is one organization thut. since the armies of the rebellion were crushed, has demanded, and intends to stand by that demand. God be ing our helper, to the end thut loyalty shall govern what loyalty has preserved." - - This 1'lijmc Deut and the Fourtekntii Amendment. Chief Justice Chase, who has lately been sitting in the United States Cir cuit Court for the Western District of Vir ginia, at Parkcrsburg, has, in his charge to the Grand Jury of that District, made some observations in relation to the Fourteenth Amendment to tho Constitution, aud its effect, which are important, coming from the highest judicial officer of the United States, bpeaking in an official capacity, nnd also in relation to the publio debt. We sub- join tho following extract . "The war in which the nation has been reccutly engaged for the preservation of the national Uuion and government endangered bv rebellion, made the contractintr of a lur'o debt inevitable. This debt is tlie rin , our wiliomtl crtVciuv, und Liitd irrctocuhlij the ijnud j'ttilh i'j the j'wili: Its invioluble ' obligation has beeu recognizeil by u solemn ' act of the nation in udopting the, Fourteenth !

The law of the amendment, that the validity of the national debt shall not bu questioned, was already written upou the hearts of the people before they made it a pint of the Constitution. To provide for the reduction anil final payment of this debt, and for the annual expenses of tho government, taxes are necessarily imposed. Iu other words, tho equal proportion to be contributed by each tilieu is ascertained by law. Ho who withholds bis just proportion deprives the rest of the people of exactly thu atuouut w ithheld. His fraud operates as theft. The sum total necessary to meet the obligations of the nation must be raised.

Sibley to the Democratic State Central Committee of Calfornla, of which he has been until lately a member: Gentlemen of the Democratic State Central Committee :l would be doing violence to rr.y own feelings, aud guilty ot unfair con duct to you, did I continue longer to share your counsels and possess myself of your plans in the coming political campaign. In sentiment and sympathy I am no longer with you. My judgment neither approves the platlorm of principles put forth by the Now York city Convention, nor does my sense of dutv to tho country justify mo in aiding to advance Horatio Seymour to the office of President of the United States. In remembering thut I am a Democrat, I can not forget that I owe a higher allegiance to the American Union. I should be glud to remain in tho Democratic party, could 1 be lieve that in doing so I am not sucriflcisjg those principles of patriotism that are high er and holier than any statement of mere party fealty. I believe that the war was in augurated by the South in the interest of sluvcry. I believe it was the duty of the Government to resist the heresy of secession by arms. I believe the calling out of troops, the draft of soldiers, the prosecution of war against rebellion, was constitutional and necessary for the preservation of our repub lic. I believe the emancipation of slavery was necessary and unavoidable as a war measure. I believe the creation of a nation al debt rrew out of the exigencies of tho long-contiuued and desperate conflict. I believe the issue of paper currency was an evil incident to the struggle. I believo the nBtional debt should be paid to the Inst dol lar in coin of the national mint, and that no form or measure of repudiation is consis tent with national honor. I am opposed to tho taxation of Government bonds as a breach of covenant made with the boud holders, and I am opposed to paying these bonds with currency instead ot gold. 1 am not in any degree feurtul of negro suprema cy, nor do I believe thut if to the negroes ate conceded their just lights under the law there will be any danger of elevuting them to a social equality with any superior race. I am and ever have been opposed to mob violence, and I never will cast my vote nor use my influence to advance to high honors any man who, as Governor of a gieut Com monwealth, could fraternize with a mob or encourage opposition to just laws, or when the nation needed its last man to put down the rebellion, could, by opposing the draft, put himself and the State in hostility to the General Government, I could have sup ported a War Democrat like Hancock, or Hendricks. I could support a Republican like Frank P. Bluir, Jr., your candidate for Vice President. His early stand for the rights of tho black man ; his opposition to shivery ; his brilliant war record, commen cing iu the streets of St. Louis, and ending iu Sherman's march through Georgia, I ap prove ; but as 1 cannot sustain Blair with out sustaining Seymour, 1 feel in duty and conscience compelled to vote for Grant and Cull'ax. I shall expect the bitter animad versions of all who love the Democratic par ty belter than they love their country. I expect to have my motives questioned mid my honor impugucil. I snail expect in lie assailed by party malignitv. and to have I heaped upon me an unlimited amount of I personal abuse; but, conscious of tho recti tilde of my motives, and in th confident belief that I am but doing my duty, I have deemed it proper to resign my position as a member of the Democratic State Central Commit tee. I therefore tender you my ro- signution, gratefully remembering our p:i.-t pleasant relations, and entertaining for you ull only kind personal feelings. I urn, very respectfully, gentlemen, F. 11. Siui.i-y. San Francisco, July 13, 1808. . . . v - Contradicting the story that Orville Grant, brothor of the General, is a Democrat, some person states that he is prosperous: and wealthy. The St. 7ks kmm'ntt happens to know that he is not as wealthy by many I thousands as he would have been if lis hail ' been a Copperhead. At a critical time in ! the war, Mr. Orville Grant nnd his partner , were engaged in a very profitable operation 1 in leather ; they had bought a large stock and were hurrying it through their tanneries j to secure lartie profits, when a call came for : more troops. Mr. Orville Grant went to j the establishment, and told bin men to leave j their work nnd go into the set vice it might i ruin him, he said, but it was no time for j any man to stand iu the way of the nation's i safety. They went; the whole stock of I leather on bund was ruined, nnd Mr. Grant lost 20.000 instead of .nuking 50.00U, as ho would hove done bad he been nr.e ol Seymour's "friends." It is needless to add that Mr. Orville Grant has been a zealous Republican ever since that party was form- I ed, has often done good service as a speaker, ! and is a man of such devotion to principle that he would vote against Gen.

Simon Stevens, Thaddeus Stevens, Jr., a nephew, and his housekeeper were at Ins bedside; also Sister Loretta and Sister Genevieve, of Providence Hospital, ana J.

Washington, August 12. The closing scenes of Mr. Stevens' life were of a quiet and very impressive character. So little was known outside of his real condition, that his best friends had but little appre hensions of any immediate danger. Thad deus Stevens, Jr., his nephew, and Mrs. Smith, his housekeeper, were at his bedside during the evening; also Sister Loretta and Sister Genevieve, of Providence Hospital, together with Mr. Patterson, of the Interior Department, and tho servants of Mr. Ste vens' household. By his immediate attendants bis death has been long looked for at any hour. Since Sunday last, it was apparent to them that he was rapidly sinking, and they relin quished all hopes of his ever again appear ing in the halls of Congress, where his face, through' past associations, had be come familiar to members and spectators alike. The calmness and even cheerfulness evinced by him so long as power of speech remained wns remarkable. He ceased to speak at four o'clock in the afternoon, and seemed to settle into a quiet reverie, show ing no indications ot Ins inability to articu late a word. During Monday he seemed to be worried and evinced considerable anxiety in regard to the state of the countrv. induc ed mainly, perhaps, by the indication of iroiiDie in J.ouisana. lie expressed a hope Unit president Johnson would abstain from any measure of a character calculated to disturb the tranquility of the countrv. and hoped that no necessity might arise for the reassembling of Congress in September. Yesterday afternoon he conversed with great cheerfulness and animation, talking on a variety of ordinary subjects, and evinc ing a lively interest in that which interested those around him. In conversation with Mr. Simon Stevens about this time, he re ferred to Mr. Everts, Attorney-General, in terms of marked kindness and confidence. At the conclusion of the conversation he commenced to crow feeble. About ten minutes before his death sister Loretta requested the permission of his friends to perform the baptismal rite, and no oo)c:iioii oeing ottered the impressive ceremony was performed amid reverential silence.

Yesterday morn tho Attornev-Gencral was, for the first time, requested iu writing, by the Secretary of the Treasury, to give his official opinion in tho case of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The questions asked are, whether the office is now vacant, end whether the President may fill it if vacant ? He will probably give no opinion on eithrr one un til the entire ground covered by the subject is thoroughly studied. As the Attorney-General wishes to give the subject grave consideration, it will pro bably be Friday before an opinion is deliv ered.

From th FltUburg Papers, Aug. 8. . The cattle disease, which has occupied so large a share of publio attention during the past few days, is still anxiously discussed among all classes, and reliable information concerning it is eagerly sought for. In this city prompt and etHcient means wore taken to displace the diseased animals, as soon as the symptoms were sufficiently developed, uu bisu to prevent tne spread oi tne conta gion to other herds. Yesterday Mr. Hosack, the Meat Inspector, visited the stock yards at Kast Liberty, and killed the remainder of the eighteen car loads which had been diseased. Thirty-eight head were killed yesterday, and yesterday evening the yards were entirely cleared and renovated. One hundred and forty head were shipped East to Comraunipaw, near Jersey City, to a grease and bone boiler at tuat place, who paid $28 per head, while the price paid here was only $9 per head, these were shipped in separate cars, and the cars will not be used again lor shipping cattle un til thoroughly renovated, and until a suffi cient time has elapsed to warrant their safe use for that purpose. Of the entire lot of eighteen cars, Mr. Horst owned forty-one head, of which eleven died and one was killed, the balance being sent East. Of the lot belonging to Mr. Alexander, two hun dred and twenty-three were condemued, and but one hundred and forty tent hast, the remainder either having died or been killed by order of the Meat inspector. One lot belonging to Mr. D. Groff passed on direct ly East, not having becu re-shipped at East Liberty, and the number is unknown, and it is reported that several had died be lire passing east of the Central Stock Yards. The lot of one hundred and forty heud shipped at Communipaw, went by special train, and telegraphic advices and orders were sent ahead to all points, aud to the yards at Jersey City. The Mayor has stationed policemen at the East Liberty Yards, to see that none of the carcasses are disposed of for auy other pur pose than that of conversion into grease, Ac, and a special policeman is stationed at the establishments where the rendering pro cess is carried on. The disease, thus far, has not been developed among our native cattle; and it is safo to conclude that, unless we have fresh importations of affected stock, the danger of contagion has beon averted. We do not entertain for one moment the idea that a single particle of the flesh of these animals can, either purposely or acci dentally, find its way to the meat market. There is an extremely limited demand for cuttle, aud the best and most healthy stock is purchased very cautiously and scrutiniz ingly by our butchers. The consumption ot meat has fallen off in a marked degree. IHscuatcd Ilccves). During tho past week we have had re ports from the West and Southwest of dis eased cattle being on their way eastward to a market. The majority of our citizens were inclined to look upon those rumors us in the interest of drovers anil butchers, for the purpose of raising the price of beef. It seems, however, tbut the alarm has a good foundation. In New York city tho Hoard of Health has tuken tho matter in hand, though advices received there stating thut a large number of beeves from the Wist, designed for that city aud Philadelphia, were diseased. Acting promptly, the board ordered an inspection of the drove yards, and, by telegraph, requested Governor Fen ton, of New York ; Wind, of New Jersey, and Geary, of Pennsylvania, to have all stock trains inspected at the principal stations along the railroad routes. This action of the New York Board of Health is wise, and we hope that our own authorities will take immediate steps in the matter. While vu have this hot weather upon us, it is proper that they should make every effort to avoid the introductiou of any extra ills into our midst. If the beeves now on their way East arc affected by disease we do uot want them in our markets, aud until it is satisfactorily ascertained by competent authoiity that tin meat of such "ill -fuvored kine" is excluded from our stalls, we would advise our citizens to lit all beef alone. We now have a plenti ful supply of healthy vegetables, and at this time of the year they uro more conducive to the sanitary condition of the community than all the meats paraded iu our matkels.
