TRUTH AT LAST.
Under this head a number of Democratic
papers are publishing a statement from Ro
bert Ould, the notorious Rebel Commis
sioner for the exchange of prisoners, in which
he endeavors to make Gen. Grant responsi
ble for the cruelties practised by these rebel
scoundrels upon the unfortunate prisoners
confined at Richmond and Andersonvillc.
If there is anything that will consign the
rebel leaders to eternal infamy, it is their
infamous and dastardly conduct in starving
to death our captive soldiers. Yet we have
in our midst men calling themselves Demo
crats, who attempt to apologise, if not de
fend, the conduct of theso cold blooded
traitors. Why do not theso apologists of
traitors publish tho letter of Mr. Ould to
the rebel Secretary of War, found among
the rebel records at Richmond, in which he
exulted over the fact that he sent out skele
ton Union prisoners, only Gt fur the hospital
and the grave, and received in exchange
sleek and fattened rebel prisoners, "the best
material in the world" for soldiers. The
great trouble fn tho exchange of prisoners
was commenced by tho rebels when they
refused to recognize our colored soldiers, as
prisoners of war, but treated them as brutes
and sold them into slavery. Gen. Grant
could not, and would not, as a soldier, a ci
vilian, or a christian, make a difference be
tween our white and colored soldiers, held
in bondage and punished for fighting under
the flag of the Union. To censure General
Grant for such an act should cause the blush
of shame to mantle even on the cheek of
the most degraded pot-house politician.
The election returns from Vermont'
though overwhelming every vestige of hopo
in the Democratic ranks, are, nevertheless)
nothing more than wo expected. We never
had any doubt of Gen. Grout's election, and
always believed his triumph at the polls
would be greater even than Lincoln's. Ver
mont gives a Republican majority of 30,000
a gain of 10,000 over last year's vote. This
is un important fact to show that tho Repub
lican spirit that squelched the bogus Demo
ciacy so. completely iu 1801, will do it again,
even more effectually, in 18G8. All the
great States that went for Lincoln in 18C4.
including New York, w ill go for Grant. The
only expected gains for Seymour and Rluir
are in the large cities where votes are bought
and made to order. Without such aid the
party would hardly be worth an organiza
tion. We have indications that even Dela
ware will go for Gr.tut. The Democrats arc
sure of Kentucky, Jeff. Davis, New Orleans
and Texas, and not much else.
Fkaxk Bi.aiu's Fexian Si'iii-xii. In the
summer of IStio, Frank P. Blair, now Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President, made a
speech atSt. Louis, in response to a serenade
by a Fenian procession. The Boston Tra
veler has fished up a full report of the speech,
which was as follows :
Gexti.kmkn : I am with you heart and
loul, and heartily auy, 'God bless tho Fin
negans.' A voice 'Fenians, General.' 1 I
know what I am talking about and say Fin-nr-guns.
(Laughter and confusion. And
I my I hope to see the cause flouribh aud
prosper, and shall bless the day when Ire

God bless you, and may you he successful
in your undertaking. May you lift the

Hero Frank was choked off, and booted
from the stand.
Those Democrats who intend voting for
Grant in November should remember that
unless they vote with the Republican party
in October, oho, they will be hut encoura
ging Seymour's election. For if the Demo
crats should carry this State hy one rote in
October, it will stimulate thern to renewed
ercrtions to defeat Genera! Grant.

on the public debt, it said :

ask simply, Does justice to the people re
quire that the bargain be recognized f If
we find that a corrupt Congress obtained
the consent of an ignorant, thoughtless and

national corruption ; that it causes an un
equal and unfair distribution of property ;
that it creates a mischievous, idle, non pro
ducing, untaxed, bunded aristocracy ; that
it throws the burden of taxation entirely
upon the laboring class t that it hampers
production and increases extravaganco ; that

General John A. Logan's charge on the
Copperheads at Poughkcepsie was a gallant
one, according to the following :
Tho Democracy has a reputation for mod
esty, and modesty is a great virtue, and the
uindesty of these Democrat io gentlemen is
something to be noticed wherever you go.
Now, dou't you think it looks very well for
Mr. Forrest and Mr. Wade Hampton, and
Mr. Preston, and that class of gentlemen, to
come up here and tell you "you are viola
ting the Constitution of the United States ?"
Cries of "Oh 1" Don't you think it is
very modest in these gentlemen ? Yet they
do so. Wo violate the Constitution, but
they do not. Four years of butchery and
slaughter to destroy the instrument, and
now they say, "On, yon Radicals I You are
destroying the Constitution." Laughter
and applause. "And we don't intend to
submit to it," tuey say. Now, my fellow-country-men,
so far as these States are con
cerned, I have this to say, that we have re
organized them ; we have admitted their
representatives, and these chaps call them
carpet-baggers. Well, I don't care what
you call them, they aro loyal men. There
is no doubt about that; and they are iu
Congress, too ; and I just give notice to
tnesu Bout.Uera Democrats, that they are
going to stay in Congress, and the threats
that they are to be turned out, and the State
governments overturned, full harmless, be
cause we have quit being scared on this sub
ject of war and revolution.
Which Purty Itelieved the People
of Pennsylvania from Ireltt V
From I860, back through a long scries of
years the Democratic party held almost un
interrupted sway in the government of
Pennsylvania. Ihey had control of the Ex
ecutive Department, the Judiciary, Trea
sury, the Legislature and the canal Hoard ;
and they are therefore responsible for the
condition of the Commonwealth at that
time. Gov. Curtin was the first Republican
or Whig Governor re-electod for many years.
the Democracy electing and re-electing their
Uovernors with the exception ot Hitner,
Jobuson and Pollock, for a long period.
In November 1800, before Gov. Curtiu
came into power the Stato debt was $37,
009,847 50. On the first of August, 1808,
not quito eight ycurs of Republican rule,
the state debt was reduced to 133,651,037
47, thus by the wisdom and statesmanship
of the Republican party, relieving the peo
plo of FOUR MILLION, THREE HUN
DRED AND EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DOL
LARS 1 ! I
It must be borne iu mind that during tho
same period, the tax on real and personal
estate was reduced as follows:
The net amount chargable to the
countiea auuually in 1663, 186 and
1S65. $1,657,314 33
The net amount chargahle to the
counties annually in 1866, 1367 and

Here is a plain reduction of the burdens
of the people, amounting in round figures
to FIVE MILLIONS SIX HUNDRED
AND SIXTY-TWO THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED AV'D SEVEN DOLLARS
AND SEVENTEEN CENTS 1 ! !
While this steady reduction of the debt
and taxes of too people of Pennsylvania
was being accomplished by the prudence
and wise management of Republican Leg
islators, Executivo otlicers aud financiers,
the same men were at tno same time meet
ing the extraordinary expenses of a war pre
cipitated by the Democratic leaders. These
expenses from December 1, 1800, to August
1, 1808, lor military services, amounted to
$5,049,703 74.
Suppose that the Democratic leaders had
not encouraged and assisted in the slave
uolder'sebclli'in. In that event theso cx
traordiuury expenses would not have bceu
created ; and, therefore, had tho Republi
can party been in power, under its manage
ment, adding the sura paid for military ex
penses to the amount of debt reduced, we
would have had a decrease of the indebt
edness of the State of Pennsylvania of not
less than NINE MILLION NINE HUN
DRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN THOUSAND
NINE HUNDRED AND TWELVE DOL

Philadelphia, Sep. 1. One of the bold
est attempts of robbery ever perpetrated in
this city happened on Third street, between
Chestnut and Market, five minutes past nine
o.clock this morning. The clerk of Fred
crick Stceb, a broker, doiug business at No.
10 South Third street, while carrying a tin
box containing a large amount of money in
bonds and papers which Mr. Stceb was in
the habit of depositing in the vault of a
neighboring bank for safe keeping over
night, was met by two well-dressed young
men and struck in the forehead by some bharp
instrument, staggering him for a moment,
but before the thieves could secure the box
the boy recovered his self-possession, and
with the blood streajniog down his face in
a frightful manner, he cried "murder,"
"police," stc, gathering a crowd imtantly.
The thieves finding tiiey could not secure
the box jumped into the light buggy stand
ing in front of Mr. Stecb'i door, in which a
confederate was sitting, and drove rapidly
out Market street, endangering the lives of
many peopio crossing that thoroughfare,
liefore the nature of the outrage could be
realized the thieves wore several squares off.
Chase was immediately given, and they will
probably b captured.

To th Voter of Penruyltania t
Within sixty days you are to decide at the
polls upon the principles and general policy
that are to control tha administration of
public affairs for the next four years. On
the result hang the grave questions of the
peace and good order of society, the pros
perity of the industrial interests, the devel
opement of the resources of the country, the
integrity of the Union, and the guarantees
of liberty.
In the outset of the contest the party that
for four years paralized the arm of industry,
by loading it with a burden of twenty-five
hundred millions of debt, involved the
country in civil war, and threatened the de
struction of the Union and the overthrow
of Liberty, solicits your suffrages declaring
that it has no principles to advocate or mea
sures to support, and calls upon its followers
everywhere to defend nothing. With no
thing. With nothing in its history for years
worthy tp be defended, it is the part of wis
dom not to make the attempt ; for it has
manacled the freedom of the press, crushed
out liberty of speech and brutalized the pub
lic conscience in fifteen States. It ostra
cised every man who had the courage to
declare human bondage a sin against God
and a flagrant violation of the spirit and
genius of the Republic. It waged a cruel
war against the pioneer settlers of the Ter
ritories and covered the prairies of Kansas
with murdered heroes because they prefer
red freedom to slavery. It established a
reign of terror, and made the residence of
men faithful to the principles of the Decla
ration of Independence impossible on more
than half of the territory covered by the flog
of a common country. Defeated in its ef
forts to elect a President of its choice, it
appealed to arms to nullify the decision of
the ballot-box. in the struggle it laid a
million of brave men in untimely graves,
shrouded tho nation in mourning, and flood
ed it with tears. Such are the ghastly tes
timonials of what the Democracy has done
in years past.
No thanks to that party that to-day we
have a country to love or a Constitution to
revere. It did all in its power to destroy
both.
And now it again seeks power, through
discord and civil strife. For four years, du
ring the height of the nation's peril, the
only hope of the party for success was iu
disaster to our arms, ner.co it rejoiced nt
every Union defeat, and mourned over every
Union victory.
Its candidate for Vice President declared
to the convention that nominated him, that
"we must have a President who will exe
cute the will of the people by trampling
into dust the usurpations of Congress known
as the rcsconstruction acts. I re
peat, this is the real and only question
which we should allow to control us. It is
idle to talk of banks, greenbacks, gold, and
the public credit. I wish to stand
before the convention upon this issue."
Thus was he nominated, and Wade Hamp
ton advocating the ticket, before and audi
ence in South Carolina, declares "that the
cause for which they fought, and for which
Stonewall Jnckson died, will yet be gained
in the election of Seymour and Glair."
If this party can succeed at the ballot. box,
the work of reconciliation for four years
will be undone, and the priceless sacrifices
of four others will have been made in vain.
The issue is marked and well defined :
Grant, Colfnx, and Peace; or Seymour,
Blair, and War.

Lisbon, August 28. One of the steamers

advices from Rio to August 8th.
Her news is highly important. The tactics
of the allied forces in attempting to reduce
iue rsrnguayan lonress ot llumnita by star
vation have been entirely successful. The
Paraguayans held out to the last moment,
and on July 24, when their stores were ex
hausted, evacuated the position, and the
allied forces marched into Humnitu the next
day. Two hundred and fifty cannon and a
large quantity of ammunition, small arms,
etc., which the Paraguayans were compelled
to abandon, were captured by the allies.
The retreating Paraguayans were pursued
and four thousand of them cut off from the
main body and surrounded in Gran Chacn.
They formed in line of battle, and in answer
to a demand for surrender emphatically
refused. Three of the Brtzillian iron-clods
forced their way through tho obstructions,
and past tha batteries on the Parana, and
had joined the fleet in tho bombardment
of the position of Presidont Lopez at the
mouth of the Tcbiguary, and Marshall
Caxias, the allied commander, was also ad
vancing troops on Lopez from the land side,
and as the guns of the allied fleet command
ed all routes of retreat, it was expected
that theParagua) ana would toon be forced to
surrender their position. It was reported
that the Paraguayane had alto evacuated
the important defensible town of Timpo. In
view of all these advantages gained by the
allies, the opinion was general throughout
Brazil that the war was very near a succes
ful termination. There were no new devel
opments in regard to the dilllculty between
Mr. Webb, the American miuister, and the
Brazilian government.
A formidable revolt had broken out in

This Company. National in its churacter, offers,
by reason of it Largo Capital, Low Rates of Premi
um and New Tables, the most desirable means of
insuring life yet presented to the public
The rates of premium, being largely reduced, aro
made as favorable to the insurers as those of the best
Mutual Companies, and avoid all tho complications
and uncertainties of Notes, Dividends and the mis
understandings which the latter arc so apt to cause
the Policy-Holders.
Several new and attractive tables are now present,
td which need only to be understood to prove accep
table to the public, such as the Income-Producing
Policy and Return Premium Totiay. In the former
the policy-holder not only secures a life incuracoei
payable at death, but will receive, if living, after a
period of a few years, an annual income equal to
ten pcreont. (10 per cent.) of the par of his policy
Iu the latter, tho Company agrees to return to the
assured the total amount of money ho has paid in,
in addition to the amount of bis policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insuring
their lives or increasing the amount of insurance
they alreay have, is called to the special advantages
offered by tha National Lifo Insurance Company.
